[ Blood Gate City ]
Luo Kai have noticed a crowd gathering outside their house so he decided to go and have a look.
Liam : “Look who do we have here? Isn’t this the trash from the infamous group of genius Blue Gale Group that got subdued by a newcomer?”
Barlock : “Bullshit! What do you know?! Eldest brother have always been our leader, we were just waiting for him! Now his here naturally the leader will be him!”
Liam : “Uh-huh! All I hear is just an excuse of the weak.”
Xingye : “Well I only hear a dog barking!”
Cindy : “Why are you acting arrogant when you lost horribly to brother Orphius?!”
Liam : *Kugh* “Ahem, A-Anyway! Even if I lost to that trash but can you defeat my brother Long!!”
[ Name : Long ]
[ Cultivation : Heaven Phase - 1st Stage - Peak [ Level 210 ] ]
Daniel : “A Heaven Phase master!!”
Liam : “Because of you bastards that I lost a good realm! If not for you my True Sword Group would have become famous now!”
Liam : “But thanks to you I’ve managed to recruit a master! I’ll have my revenge now!”
Liam : “Brother Long get rid of them!”
Barlock : “You dare!”
Zordick : “Stop! Damn It!”
Heaven Phase Master Long rushed and grabbed Cindy which was on the front and had the lowest cultivation among the group. Zordick and Barlock rushed to defense yet despite Zordick’s speed he was not able to reach in time and thus halted after Cindy got caught hostage.
Leo : “Put her down!”
Daniel : “Calm down everyone. This is Blood Gate City, he wouldn’t dare do anything here.”
Liam : “Puah! PUAHAHAHAH!! Have you been living under a rock?! My grandfather is one of the elders of the Blood Gate City!”
Cindy : “Blood Gate City have always been fair with it’s affairs!”
Liam : “Right, fair. Then I’m gonna let you see what’s fair!”
Liam : “Everyone! You’ve seen that my subordinate was assaulted by them two when my people just wants to be friendly with them. Do you think I am justified to take them into custody?”
Barlock : “What nonsense!”
Zordick : “What!!”
Cindy : “Everyone witnessed that you came here and started insulting us and even taken me as hostage! No one would be on your side!”
Cindy have always lived under the care of his father and barely left the tavern to purchase some supplies on the market, let alone have any interaction with government people and powerful families. Cindy lived in the lower district where people of commoner background mainly lived and no family have enough power to boss around the area so people lived harmonious live and the neighborhood is pretty much a one big family.
Vendor : “R-Right!”
Civilian : “That’s right! They should be punished!”
Cindy : “That’s right!”
Liam : *grin*
Vendor : “Young master Liam! Take them! They should be punished!”
Cindy : “W-What?! W-w-what are guys saying right now? Why?”
Cindy : “Y-You clearly witnessed everything, so why are you bending the truth?! Why?!”
All her life Cindy thought that Blood Gate City is a place where corruption and abuse of authority is nonexistent. Only then she realized how shallow does she know her own city. People bow and bend truth for the authority, rich have the power to twist the truth and turn a blind eye to injustice. Her image of peaceful, fair and just City crumbled in an instant.

Cindy crumbling spirit intensified with the murmurs of people.
“A pity, of all people they offend the young master Liam.”
“I heard they stole a good realm from young master Liam’s True Sword Group!”
“Then it’s all done for them! Young Master Liam is pampered and spoiled by her grandfather!”
“Did their little fame get to their heads?! To dare to fight against the young master?!”
*murmur*
*chatter*
Liam : “Guards! Take this bunch to the Punishment Pavilion! To set an example for the people who dare to city’s laws!”
City guards stationed nearby arrived at the scene and is ready to capture Barlock and his friends. Daniel, Leo, Zordick, Barlock and Xingye are surrounded by the City Guards while Cindy is captured as hostage by Liam. The group have taken turns going to the realm and helping Mr. Moore on the tavern. Orphius, Qingge, Grendarth, Shin and Pan Xin was out to train in the Realm and Zordick’s group was just about to head to tavern to help Mr. Moore when they encountered Liam’s group outside their house.
Daniel : “Let’s just go for now. Even if he’s an elder’s grandson they won’t do anything to us, they’ll just detain us at most.”
Zordick : “Hmm, alright I’ll trust you this time.”
Zordick and their group was cuffed and brought to the Punishment Pavilion.
Barlock : “Count yourself lucky this time Liam! Once eldest brother comes it will be the end for you!”
Liam : “HAHAHA! Even now you still dare to threaten me with this who-knows-where eldest brother?!”
Liam : “Instead of thinking of such things might as well think of your own safety.”
Barlock : “We’ll see about that!”
Luo Kai : “Excuse me? What’s happening? Why are people crowding at the front of our house?”
Civilian : “You live in that house?”
Luo Kai : “That’s right! What happened exactly?!”
Civilian : “Then are you together with the young ones living there?”
Luo Kai : “Yes, did something happened with them?”
“Those kids are pretty strong and there are a few of them. Unless someone from Axis Phase came to make trouble, there’s no way they would be defeated.”
Civilian : *sigh “You might want to pack-up and leave this city young man.”
Luo Kai : “What?! Why?! Please explain clearly old man!”
Civilian : “Those kids, they offended Young Master Liam.”
Luo Kai : “Young Master Liam? Who’s that?”
Civilian : “He’s the grandson of one of the elders of the city. Young Master Liam ordered the city guards to take them to the punishment hall for assaulting someone.”
Luo Kai : “Assaulting!! I know those kids there’s just no way they would do it!”
Civilian : “They didn’t actually do it. Young Master Liam was the one who provoked it. He ordered his subordinate to hostage one of them then called the city guards. He twisted his words and used the civilians as witness, no one dared to refute the young master’s words in fear of being caught up and endangering their lives and family.”
Luo Kai : “……………………..”
Civilian : “Young man please don’t show that face. We are just small civilians. We also don’t like what happened but if we stand up we might also get killed, worse our family might disappear overnight. It’s frustrating, I know. But there are people we should not offend.”
Civilian : “Young man I got to go. Heed my advise. And you should start preparing to leave the city, they might come back here. I heard them mentioning some eldest brother.”
The old man walked away.
Luo Kai : “Heh…… Old man, you are right. There are people one should not offend, and I am one of those.”
Luo Kai : “Liam right?! I’LL LET YOU KNOW WHO YOU’RE MESSING WITH!!”
Luo Kai’s anger emitted a strong aura. The surrounding area felt a slight tremor, heaven and earth shook and heavy bloodlust can be felt all over. Luo Kai released another strong aura but this time it was his God Bloodline aura mixed with strong bloodlust. The surrounding air felt heavy and sharp, like a thousand needles piercing their skin and heart. Some civilians who could not endure collapsed, some are vomiting with blood. And all cultivators under Axis Phase that was nearby could not endure the strong oppression and all fall to their knees. The higher ups of the city have felt Luo Kai’s aura and was startled, they ordered soldiers go head to the area and invite the mysterious person to the City Lord’s Palace.
City Lord : “!!!!!!!!!! Who in the world is this person?! Why would someone from the God Race emit such tremendous bloodlust?! They aren’t even bothering to hide the fact that they are God Race?!”
City Lord : “………….. Did someone from the city provoked them?!”
City Lord : “Heed my orders! Bring the God Race person here. But make sure to show the highest courtesy!!”
Guards : “Yes sir!”
Luo Kai continued releasing his aura and already some of the Human and Earth Phase cultivator started to pass out one after another. And all of the civilians in the area are already long unconscious.
After some time a group of strong men wearing a gold armor arrived. They aren’t affected by Luo Kai’s aura at all. The weakest among them are at Axis Phase. They slowly walked and approached Luo Kai.
[ Roo ]
[ Cosmos Phase - 5th Stage - Peak ]
Roo : “Esteemed Guest from the God Race, I am Roo the Captain of Blood Gate City’s Royal Guards who directly serve the City Lord and also City Lord’s Right Hand Man.”
“That introduction is too long!”
Roo : “By the orders of City Lord, I am to invite the esteem guest to the City Lord’s Palace. Would you grace us with your presence?”
Luo Kai : “Thank you for the offer. But at the moment I only want to kill the people who harmed my comrades. I hope city would not interfere in this matter”
Roo : “I believe that City Lord have the same idea. He intend to help settle esteemed guest’s grudge but it would be too inconspicuous to do it in broad daylight with all the commotion that happened. And city lord would like to talk regarding this matter.”
Luo Kai : “……………………. Alright. It would be rude of me to cause problems here.”
“What do you mean rude. Releasing such aura with bloodlust is already rude to begin with. I guess rumors of God Race being arrogant and domineering are true.”
Roo : “Please follow me, Royal Guards will lead the way.”
[ Punishment Hall ]
[ Dungeon Prison ]
Liam : “The elders of the punishment hall have decided your punishment. Y’all be executed tomorrow at noon….. Now….. Do you realize who you messed with?!”
Barlock : “Heh, Stop being arrogant, you’re just a brat who relies on your family.”
Liam : “HAHAHA!! You poor bastards really don’t know anything! Family is also strength! Blame your parents for being born poor!”
Barlock : “You bastard! Say that again and I promise I’ll rip your mouth open.”
Liam : “Hey you bulky orc, let me remind you where you are right now. You’re in a prison and death row. Even if I kill you right now, I won’t even be blamed for it.”
While they are conversing a guard came in.
Guard : “Young Master!”
Liam : “Huuh? Didn’t I say that no one is to disturb me while I’m here?!”
Guard : “Uh, but there’s a message from the city lord.”
Liam : “Hm? From the city lord? What could have made the city lord warrant an order?”
Guard : “Apparently a God Race came to the city. And wreck a havoc.”
Liam : “What does it have to do with the Punishment Hall?”
Guard : “You may not know Young Master, God Race rarely appear in the world, and if they did they are mostly young master who are experiencing the world. This God Race Young Master have been offended by someone. And Young Master must have at least heard of what happened if you offend a God Race right?”
Liam : “You mean the legend of God Race annihilating a whole clan for offending them?”
Guard : “That’s right! And city lord is worried that it might implicate the Blood Gate City so he is trying to appease the God Race Young Master.”
Liam : “So? What does that have to do with Punishment Hall?”
Guard : “Right! I forgot. God Race Young Cultivator go out to the world not only to gain experience but also to gather trusted comrades.”
Liam : “Comrades? For what?”
“Seriously?! Of course, it’s because of war between God Race and Demon Race. This dumb brat!”
Guard : “Uhm, it’s because of the war between God Race and Demon Race.”
Liam : “Huh? Why would anyone want to go to war and die?”
*sigh
Guard : “If you do well on the battlefield you might get a chance to be baptized with God Race Blood and it could greatly enhance your strength. It’s worth more than any treasure.”
Liam : “Hmmmm, really? Then again how does it concern the Punishment Hall?”
Guard : “Ah! I forgot again! Your Grandfather, Elder Wei Liu asked you to come to the City Lord’s Palace to meet the God Race Young Master, Elder Wei hoped that you could seize the opportunity to become a comrade of the God Race Young Master and your future would be guaranteed.”
Liam : “Oi poor bastards! Did you hear that?! If the God Race Young Master would take fancy with me and take me then my future will be limitless. It’s all thanks for my family connections. That’s the difference with us people with power and you poor bastards. HAHAHAHA!”
Barlock : “………………….”
Guards escorted Liam to the City Lord’s Palace.
Liam : “Pray that in your next life you would be born in a rich family. HAHA!”
Liam got a change of elegant robe and soon headed to the City Lord’s Palace where he and a few more Young Master from prestigious family have gathered in hopes to be chosen as a comrade of the rumored powerful God Race Young Master.
Liam’s hope for a bright future, will it be an opportunity? Or disaster?
