Someone rushed inside the throne room and saw the true face of City Lord Qin Sheng. He immediately burst into anger and threw the cultivator on his hands to the ground, but the cultivator was immediately enveloped in bright energy that delayed her fall, keeping her alive. But even if she was still alive, at the state she was in, it was almost the same as dead as her flesh and blood had been consumed by the Evil Spirit Race!
"Human! How dare you enter my throne room!" City Lord Qin Sheng shouted furiously. The guards that were guarding the parameter rushed inside as soon as they heard Qin Sheng shouted. They immediately surrounded Yi Tianyun as they couldn't kill him either.
"You are not Human! How dare the enemy of all living beings in this world assume the position of the City Lord! Didn't you guards see that you have been serving an Evil Spirit Race that consumes humans like mere cattle! Yi Tianyun already knew that the two guards that charged in just now weren't part of the Evil Spirit Race.
"What are you talking about? Are you trying to pit us against our lord?" the Guards said as they rushed towards Yi Tianyun to grab him.
"Tsk, you guys are really pathetic!" Yi Tianyun said as he gently waved his palm towards the guards. His attack instantly killed the guards, but he didn't get punished as it was just self-defense. The Flame Imprint on the guard's arms was immediately catapulted towards Yi Tianyun, further increasing his own Flame Imprint.
"Interesting! I don't know how you find out about our true identity, but you are going to die!" City Lord Qin Sheng coldly said as he walked down his throne and pulled out a giant axe. Yi Tianyun saw that Qin Sheng had 4 Flame Imprints on his arms, meaning that he was powerful enough to go to the 4th Layer City, but chose to stay here and took the City Lord position as his own.
Nevertheless, Qin Sheng was only at the 6th Layer Void Spirit Stage! He was certainly powerful compared to the average cultivation level on the 3rd Layer City. But still, it didn't matter against Yi Tianyun! But then again, Yi Tianyun couldn't attack first as he was still bound by the Ancient Netherworld Divine Tower's rule.
But clearly, Qin Sheng was too furious to think rationally as he suddenly charged towards Yi Tianyun. The Flame Imprint on his arms suddenly shone, doubling his power as he attacked Yi Tianyun. Because of his status as the City Lord, he could use the Flame Imprint to increase his power.
"You are dead meat, human! Now, become our food!" Qin Sheng shouted as he smashed his axe towards Yi Tianyun's direction, and Netherworld's Fire burst out of the axe, freezing everything on its path!
Yi Tianyun neither dodged nor did anything as he just stared at Qin Sheng with a bored look on his face. Qin Sheng didn't really saw Yi Tianyun move, so he thought that Yi Tianyun must have been frozen, so he attacked once more.
But as soon as Qin Sheng got close enough, he was startled as his axe was stopped! Amidst the ice that froze the air around him, Yi Tianyun wasn't affected at all! In fact, Yi Tianyun held the axe's blade like it was nothing. He didn't even bother to move from his position!
"How did you attain this much power at such a young age?" Qin Sheng asked confusedly as he truly didn't expect a man at Yi Tianyun age would be able to stop him like this. he tried to push the axe to cut the young man's hand, but it didn't even budge!
"City Lord Qin Sheng! There is an absurdly strong human rushing from the bottom! He already crushed our patrol! From the way it sounds, his cultivation was way above Void Spirit Stage! But surely, he would taste very great once we got our hands on him!" an Evil Spirit Race Guard reported as he walked slowly to the Throne Room. But as he saw what happened inside the Throne Room, he was startled as he didn't expect the human he mentioned was already inside Qin Sheng's Throne Room.
"It's him! he was the man that killed our Patrol earlier!" The guard shouted as he held Yi Tianyun's poster to make sure he was looking at the right guy. However, he was too late! Qin Sheng has already attacked him, meaning Yi Tianyun was free to retaliate. Once Qin Sheng attacked, the duel commenced, and it wouldn't end until either side lost their lives or gave up!
"What was it? I will become your food? Wow, I wonder how a weakling thrash like you can ever beat me!" Yi Tianyun said tauntingly. He then slammed the Giant Axe that Qin Sheng was holding to the ground, dragging Qin Sheng along with it. "Now, it seems that you're the one that will be the prey!" Yi Tianyun said as he held the axe up again and swung it towards Qin Sheng.
Qin Sheng immediately transformed back to his Evil Spirit Race form and tried to defend himself by extending his extra arms to block the axe, but unfortunately for him, his speed and defence were not enough to block Yi Tianyun's attack!
The axe cut through Qin Sheng's arms before going right through his head!
'DING!'
'Successfully killed City Lord Qin Sheng!'
'Reward: ….'
Yi Tianyun didn't care about the reward he got from killing Qin Sheng as the only important thing for him right now was the Flame Imprint! The Flame Imprint on his Arms burned intensely as Qin Sheng's Flame Imprint integrated itself into Yi Tianyun's arms. Now, he would only need one more Flame Imprint to upgrade his Flame Imprint to the 4th Flame Imprint!
Yi Tianyun also noticed that a blue ring emerged around the Flame imprint, and Yi Tianyun realised that it had to be the mark of the 3rd Layer City Lord!

Even after killing City Lord Qin Sheng, Yi Tianyun wasn't satisfied at all. For him, it was only the beginning of his goal to purge the Evil Spirit Race from Ancient Netherworld Divine Tower! But he has already taken a significant step now as only a City Lord could challenge the higher level City Lord! Furthermore, the City Lord couldn't refuse another City Lord's challenge regardless of the circumstances!
The City Lord challenge was different from the regular challenge! The City Lord could reject the regular challenge as long as they provided a certain condition to the challenger, for example, defeating certain people before earning the right to challenge the City Lord. This was a given provided that the City Lord bore the responsibility to take care of the city they were in charge of. Yi Tianyun didn't know who bore the City Lord position in a higher layer, but he speculated that all of them would be Evil Spirit Race cultivators! This position provided so many benefits that there was no way the Evil Spirit Race would let such an advantageous position fell into other races' hands!
Yi Tianyun was very lucky that Qin Sheng charged straight at him without thinking earlier. If Qin Sheng kept his composure, Yi Tianyun had to wait for a certain amount of time before he could deal with Qin Sheng!
"Now, let's continue our fight!" Yi Tianyun said as he turned his attention to the guards that attacked him earlier. He expanded his aura and covered the entire room. The guards immediately felt a foreboding shadow of death and thus immediately tried to escape, but unfortunately for them, their decision was a little too late! Yi Tianyun flashed in front of them and blocked their escape route.
"Stop! Don't kill me!" The guard screamed while assuming a defensive position as they subconsciously tried to protect themselves. But once again, their action was futile as Yi Tianyun easily cleaved them in two with the big axe that Qin Sheng used earlier.
Yi Tianyun got the guard's Flame Imprint, and he successfully upgraded the 4th Flame Imprint while the 5th Flame Imprint started to show itself faintly. Surely, it would be hard to upgrade the 5th Flame Imprint as the guard was only at the 3rd Flame Imprint. It surely would be far easier to just go up another level instead of challenging the guards on the 3rd Layer City to upgrade his Flame Imprint.
But when he checked the City Lord status and found something that might be useful later. He found that the City Lord had the authority to judge anyone they deemed a sinner regardless of whether they really violated the rules, as it was up to City Lord's decision whether to punish the cultivator to duel or not!
But still, the trials for the sinner only worked on those with the same level of Flame Imprint as the city that the City Lord managed, meaning that Yi Tianyun's privilege as the City Lord wouldn't work on those that had 4th Flame Imprint or above! The most useful thing was that the City Lord privilege could ignore the rule that prohibited challenging those who had just participated in another duel recently, meaning that there was no time given to the sinner to recuperate!
But it was understandable as the City Lord was supposed to set a trial instead of challenging the sinner. The City Lord had a chance to hold three trials each month, meaning that Yi Tianyun could kill three cultivators of his choice each month without evoking the tower's punishment.
Yi Tianyun then rushed towards the cultivator that Qin Sheng toyed around with earlier. He equipped the Longevity Necklace and Longevity Ring to help the poor cultivator. The female cultivator was badly injured as Qin Sheng also damaged her soul! Her Blood Essence has already depleted, meaning that Qin Sheng has feasted on her for quite some time.
Although Yi Tianyun has equipped his best equipment to save the female cultivator, it didn't mean he was omnipotent! Furthermore, the female cultivator was dying! This was beyond him unless he had the full set of Longevity Set!
"Thank you for killing that monster!" The female cultivator said with a smile on her face. Even though she didn't want to die, at least she could see her enemy met the end he deserved! After expressing her gratitude to Yi Tianyun, she died on his hand. But she died with a smile on her face.
Yi Tianyun sighed and covered the bodies in the room with his Immortal Fire. He didn't want the odor to spread further. Besides, he did it to honour the female cultivator to make sure no one could see her badly injured body. Yi Tianyun then walked out of the throne room as he didn't have anything else to do in this place, but as soon as he opened the door, he saw that many cultivators had gathered on the bottom of the stairs as they heard the commotion on the City Palace.
They heard that someone was challenging the City Lord, but they thought there was no way the challenger would win as the City Lord was a very powerful cultivator! There was no way someone on 3rd Layer City could defeat such a man, but once they saw Yi Tianyun coming out of the throne room and the blue ring on Yi Tianyun's arm, they knew that the previous City Lord had been killed!
"City Lord!" The cultivator shouted in surprise as they didn't want to get into the new City Lord's bad side. They were terrified as the situation changed so fast, and they didn't even know the young man who successfully killed the previous City Lord in such a short amount of time!
Yi Tianyun stared at the cultivator coldly, but since he didn't feel any Evil Spirit Race's presence among the crowd, he ignored them and started to walk towards the stairs that would bring him to the 4th Layer City. But suddenly, a man rushed towards Yi Tianyun with strong killing intent. "I challenge you, young man! How dare you kill City Lord Qin! Do you realise what you have gotten yourself into?" the cultivator shouted coldly.
The Iron Necklace on Yi Tianyun's neck started to glow red, meaning that the cultivator that rushed towards him right now was part of the Evil Spirit Race! Yi Tianyun looked at the cultivator coldly, and as soon as the cultivator rushed close enough to where he was, Yi Tianyun split the cultivator in two with the big axe that he got from Qin Sheng earlier!
His goal was to slaughter the Evil Spirit Race, so there was no need for him to hear anything they have to say!
