"Don't you want to avenge your fallen companion?" Yi Tianyun said to the patrol coldly.
"We are only a patrol. Don't mix us with some thugs that would come down and fight!" one of the patrols, who was obviously an Evil Spirit Race, said helplessly.
"What a bunch of cowards! At least your companion did fight me to avenge their fallen comrade earlier, unlike you, a bunch of cowards hiding behind the pretext of duty!" Yi Tianyun said tauntingly. He deliberately made it sound as taunting as possible because he wanted to reel in those Evil Spirit Race people to fight him. Yi Tianyun didn't have any interest in fighting other cultivators as his objective was solely to destroy the Evil Spirit Race.
Yi Tianyun had other bloodlines that he could use to mask his Sealing Heaven Divine King Bloodline, so he believed that the Evil Spirit Race people wouldn't be able to detect his bloodline! The only thing they would see was the Dragon God Bloodline, and Yi Tianyun suspected that it should be enough to bait such a greedy race!
The Evil Spirit Race patrol that Yi Tianyun taunted was indeed irritated by his taunt. The Ancient Netherworld Divine Tower was now their territory. Although they couldn't control the tower, they were in charge of it nonetheless! Seeing someone trample on their pride like this obviously angered them. In fact, one of the patrols wanted to jump into the platform, but another patrol dragged him away.
"Are you crazy? You won't be able to defeat that brat! I hate to say this, but his cultivation is really strong for his age. It's probably best to leave it to the 3rd Layer City to deal with him!" The patrol said as he dragged his comrade away from the platform. They were definitely furious because of Yi Tianyun's taunting, but they tried hard to keep a level head!
"Let's get out of here!" The patrol said to each other as they left the platform area. After they all left, Yi Tianyun sighed as he failed to purge Evil Spirit Race from the 1st Layer City, but Yi Tianyun was still satisfied that he could kill 5 of them here and got his hands on the 3rd Flame Imprint.
Some residents of the city snickered as they began to think that the patrol wasn't that tough. However, they knew it was still impossible for them to win against the patrol right now. After Yi Tianyun went down the platform, Fan Xuexuan immediately rushed towards him joyfully.
"Big Brother Yi! You are so powerful! I didn't expect you to win against those people, but it turns out you are just pretending all along!" she said with a big smile on her face.
"Well, it was easy to lie towards your enemy, but the hard part is to fool your allies!" Yi Tianyun smiled.
"You are mocking me, aren't you, Big Brother Yi?" Fan Xuexuan said while puffing her cheeks.
"Well, it doesn't matter now! I'm heading to the 3rd Layer City after this, and you should stay here as this place is probably a lot safer than the upper city." Yi Tianyun said solemnly.
"Why did you help me out? who are you really?" Fan Xuexuan wondered out loud.
"It was too soon for me to tell you, but it's just that your goal was in line with my own goal, so I'm not really helping you out!" Yi Tianyun said with a smile on his face. Yi Tianyun then patted her head before heading towards the stairs beside the platform to go to the 2nd Layer City.
"Be careful up there! I will catch up with you soon!" Fan Xuexuan shouted at Yi Tianyun. She was determined to follow Yi Tianyun up as soon as she could. She immediately psyched herself up as she wanted to earn her own Flame Imprint.
Yi Tianyun smiled as he left Fan Xuexuan behind. He didn't want to bring Fan Xuexuan with him because it was easier for him to act alone than having an additional burden. The interior of the Ancient Netherworld Divine Tower was easy to explore, so he didn't need her guide any more. After all, the 1st Layer City might be best for her due to its safety.
Yi Tianyun climbed the winding stairs with many other cultivators that had 2 Flame Imprints on their arms. These people clearly have triumphed over their opponent to get their hands on the 2nd Flame Imprint. Yi Tianyun noticed that the stair itself was also a type of test as it was a little bit difficult, unlike normal stairs.
Obviously, Yi Tianyun ignored these people and walked up the stairs indifferently. He could feel the gravity was different on the stairs as it was more difficult to make his way up. He overtook other cultivators easily, surprising them as it took everything they got to keep going.
Yi Tianyun didn't care about these cultivators that looked at him with awe and envy! As he went higher, the Flame Imprint on his arms started to flash, and as he got to the top of the stairs, it flashed brightly, granting him permission to enter the 2nd Layer City. As soon as Yi Tianyun stepped his foot on the top of the stairs, he saw patrol not far from the stairs giving him an intimidating look, but clearly, they weren't Yi Tianyun's concern right now.
The first thing that Yi Tianyun noticed as soon as he entered the 2nd Layer City was the Spiritual Power on the 2nd layer City that was much stronger than the 1st Layer City. But the environment was still the same as there were green trees, a mountain, a river, and a small city.
"Do you want to join our faction?" suddenly, a cultivator came over and asked Yi Tianyun to come with him. But not long after, another cultivator intervened and asked Yi Tianyun the same question. Yi Tianyun sighed and ignored these people as he didn't want to stay here for too long. So, he immediately walked towards the stairs in the middle that connected the place with 3rd Layer City.
"What is going on? Isn't that guy new here? Why is he heading to the 3rd Layer City right off the bat?" a cultivator was confused by what Yi Tianyun was doing.
