Sword Emperor

Although Sun Bing and the others knew that Ying Tian Academy's reputation was in shambles, at least half of them had already pledged their allegiance to Ancient Clans. They were the traitors of the Humans, and all they could think about was how to counterattack.    

    

However, most of the people and cultivators in the Heavenly Province had no idea about this news. In fact, because of the illustrious reputation of the Ying Tian Academy, they had been crazily gathering in this place for the past hundred thousand years.    

    

After all, the Ying Tian Academy was the number one power in the Tian Province. In such a critical period of time, gathering in this place would ensure their own safety. In their eyes, this should be the safest place.    

    

Therefore, cities could be seen standing in the surrounding area of the Ying Tian Academy. There were crowds of people flocking to them.    

    

In fact, the defensive strength of some of these cities wasn't very strong. Compared to the cities that had stood tall for thousands of years, Sun Bing could flatten them with a single strike. There weren't even any inscriptions on the city walls.    

    

Not far away, they could see new cities being built. Under the efforts of many cultivators, these cities were changing at a speed visible to the naked eye. Without a doubt, this indicated that these cities had been built recently.    

    

However, Sun Bing and the others could only let out a long sigh. There was no other way. After all, most of them wouldn't believe it even if this news was exposed.    

    

As they walked forward, Dugu Bai couldn't help but say, "Our next goal is to enter the Ying Tian Academy. This shouldn't be a difficult task, because the blockade here wasn't very tight.    

    

Moreover, we only need to get close to the city wall to complete our mission. I know a place that can directly reach my territory. Together with the Great Elder and the others, we can launch a counterattack. I think they won't be able to hold on for long. "    

    

Sun Bing and the others nodded slowly. After all, sometimes it was hard to tell whether it was real or fake. There were also some people in the Ying Tian Academy who were full of conscience. This was the best time to tell.    

    

After that, without any hesitation, they walked forward. The further they walked, the more they could sense that countless of cultivators were gathering in this place.    

    

However, the strength of these cultivators was incomparably weak. Most of them were only at the Reborn Stage or Transcendence. There were very few cultivators above the Heaven Insight Stage level, let alone Life and Death Stage Cultivator.    

    

However, it was no wonder. After all, they were either at the Heaven Insight Stage or Life and Death Stage. Even in the entire Tian Province, there weren't many of them. Not to mention, these people all had their own powers, so it was naturally impossible for them to gather here.    

    

"If you want to enter the city, each person must have a million low grade spiritual stone or ten thousand Middle Grade Spiritual Stone."    

    

All of a sudden, a cold voice came from afar. When he turned his head, he saw Cultivator of the Heavenly-insight Stage standing at the entrance of the city, charging a Transcendence warrior a fee to enter the city.    

    

"Sir, we don't have enough Spiritual Stone. Can you slow down a little? We will definitely make up for the fee of entering the city in a few days' time." At that instant, the middle-aged cultivator wore a fawning expression.    

    

However, after hearing the words, a mocking smile appeared on the face of the cultivator guarding the city. "If you don't have the Spiritual Stone, then it doesn't matter. The treasures from heaven and earth or other treasures are fine too. We will not reject any of them."    

    

"Well, I really don't have any of them. I have traveled thousands of miles to this place, and I have used up all of them along the way. I hope that you can merge them together."    

    

"Then you can leave. When will you be able to collect enough money to enter the city? Only then will you be able to enter." In an instant, the cultivator who was guarding the city waved his hand. The rogue cultivators was thrown away like a dead fish, and he was seriously injured because of it.    

    

As for the rest of the people who saw this scene, their eyes were filled with coldness. There was no movement at all. A second person followed closely behind. After paying enough Spiritual Stone, he successfully entered the city.    

    

Upon seeing this scene, Sun Bing's eyes were filled with a cold light. He slowly walked forward and looked at the figure in front of him. His mouth was filled with a coldness that was as cold as winter.    

    

"This is the catastrophe of the Tian Province. Even if these people came here to seek refuge and collect some money, why are they forcing us?"    

    

The cultivator was quite surprised to see a person in front of him. However, after realizing that he was unable to detect the person's cultivation, his expression remained respectful as he slowly spoke:    

    

"Senior, your cultivation base is a Heaven Insight Stage. You will be able to enter after paying a hundred thousand Middle Grade Spiritual Stone."    

    

These words caused Sun Bing's face to be filled with frost. As if he had noticed Sun Bing's ugly expression, this cultivator slowly explained.    

    

"You need to know that our Ying Tian Academy has accepted all of you despite the danger during such a critical period of time. Naturally, we will need to collect some fees. This way, we can improve our strength and protect all of you better."    

    

"Good, good, good."    

    

After understanding the meaning behind these words, Sun Bing's anger turned into a smile. He had never thought that the Ying Tian Academy would be so shameless.    

    

Initially, he thought that joining Ancient Clans was already Ancient Clans's limit. He even used the last of his time to extort some rogue cultivators and plunder the cultivation resources in the Heavenly Province.    

    

One should know that it was extremely rare for a Transcendence rogue cultivators to possess millions of low grade spiritual stone. Just this time alone, he would need to consume a portion of it, and it could be said to be a huge loss.    

    

Moreover, the Heaven Insight Stage needed to be increased by ten times because of this. It was hard to imagine how many cultivation resources the other party had obtained during this period of time if he were to charge such a fee.    

    

This was simply a blatant act of sucking blood to surrender to the enemy. What he absorbed was the blood of the Nine States. If this continued, the Nine States would become weaker and weaker. As for Ancient Clans, he would become stronger and stronger.    

    

However, these rogue cultivators in front of him did not realize the seriousness of the matter. They naively thought that they were safe. Sun Bing was sure that these people would end up in a miserable state. When he had no money, it would be time for him to kill them all.    

    

At this moment, even an idiot could hear the sarcasm in Sun Bing's words. In an instant, the man's eyes were filled with a cold light, and his words carried a hint of coldness.    

    

"I didn't expect that there would be someone who would dare to challenge our Ying Tian Academy today. I will give you another chance. Only one million Middle Grade Spiritual Stone can enter the city. Otherwise, you won't be able to get close to this place."    

    

After saying that, Dugu Bai and Song Que's facial expression darkened. One million and one million Middle Grade Spiritual Stone wasn't a lot to Sun Bing and the others, but the rest of them wouldn't be able to get it even if they put their lives on the line.    

    

When he saw Sun Bing and the others standing still in front of him, his facial expression turned ugly. However, because of Sun Bing and the others' powerful strength, they could only let out a cold snort. "Since you don't want to enter the city, then hurry up and leave this place for a hundred thousand miles. Otherwise, when the law enforcement team comes, don't regret it."    

    

"This is really disappointing. I never thought that layers of decay could reach such a degree."    

    

Sun Bing was completely disappointed. He slowly shook his head and let out a sigh. He looked at the surrounding cultivators with pity in his eyes.    

    

However, the cultivator in front of him was a servant of a disciple of Ying Tian Academy. He had never received such an insult before. His heart was filled with anger. He swung the saber in his hand at Sun Bing.    

    

"I gave you face, but you still dare to be so shameless? A mere Cultivator of the Heavenly-insight Stage dares to cause trouble in my Ying Tian Academy?"    

    

As a servant of the Ying Tian Academy, he had great pride in his heart. After all, this was the most powerful force in the Heavenly Province. Even in the outside world, others would give him face. Furthermore, this place was the base camp, which made him even more confident.    

    

In fact, he had never encountered a provocation before. A mere rogue cultivators actually wanted to go against the Ying Tian Academy. Even if he attacked, the opponent wouldn't dare to fight back.    

    

However, this man was too optimistic. Although the Ying Tian Academy was powerful, to Sun Bing, it should be considered as yesterday's yellow flower. From today onwards, this magnificent place would be covered in scorched earth. As for the rebels inside, they would also flee in all directions.    

    

Therefore, in the face of such an attack, a sword shadow appeared in Sun Bing's eyes. He looked at his opponent, even though he didn't make any extra moves or even use any of his techniques.    

    

This man's heart was filled with fear. His eyes suddenly shrunk, and the Qi on his body slowly disappeared. Then, he fell heavily to the ground, turning into a corpse.
