Chapter 1342: Chapter 1340: Demon Clan Powerhouse! Clouded Leopard!

"Hey hey, naturally, we are discussing which step to place him on. This is giving our Tianbao Tower executives quite a headache, and it’s the most concerning issue among the warriors at Tianbao Inn recently." The waiter chuckled.

Lin Bai looked at the waiter, puzzled.

The waiter laughed lightly, "My dear guest, let me put it this way, although this Successor of the Demonic Sword caused a huge stir in the Lingnan Continent some time ago, his cultivation is too low, just at the eighth level of the Flying Sky Realm."

"If we place him on the third step, it seems his strength has already surpassed that step."

"If we place him on the second step, that’s not quite appropriate either, given his fame."

"But if we place him on the first step, his cultivation is only at the eighth level of the Flying Sky Realm; it doesn’t seem sufficient for the first step!"

"The key issue is, the background of this Successor of the Demonic Sword is mysterious. We only know that when he appeared in Huanglong City of the Feiyun Dynasty, he was already at the Flying Sky Realm, but all the information about him before that is blank!"

"We can’t make a prepared judgment by combining the life deeds of this Successor of the Demonic Sword, and that’s what’s most troubling!"

"So, the senior executives of Tianbao Tower are still in a meeting discussing where to place this Successor of the Demonic Sword," the waiter said with a light chuckle.

"I see," Lin Bai nodded in sudden realization.

"Alright, my guest, you’ve come from afar and must be tired. I won’t disturb you any longer. There’s a Sound Transmission Talisman in the room; if you need anything, you can contact me with the talisman. I will take my leave now." The waiter bowed with clasped hands and left the room.

Lin Bai watched the waiter leave, a smile creeping across his lips, "It seems like I’ve posed a difficult question for Tianbao Tower. Haha, I am also curious to see which step they’ll place me on."

Lin Bai checked the room to confirm it was safe and then activated the exclusive Magic Circle in the room before collapsing on the bed, quickly falling into a deep sleep.

Over the past few months, Lin Bai hadn’t had a single good night’s sleep!

Finally at Tianbao Tower, Lin Bai naturally wanted to have a good sleep!

After Lin Bai woke up, it was already dusk on the third day.

Lin Bai activated the Sound Transmission Talisman, asking the waiter to prepare hot water and bring it to his room. After freshening up, Lin Bai prepared to leave his room and explore Purple Gold City.

But just as Lin Bai reached the first floor, he discovered that the Tianbao Inn was filled with uproar, many warriors were furiously shouting with angry expressions.

"Damn, that Clouded Leopard is too detestable, it actually killed over ten geniuses on the third step of Sky Ladder."

"And they say Human Clan geniuses are only this capable?"

"Exactly, last dusk, Mu Yifeng from the second step of Sky Ladder couldn’t stand it and went to kill the Demon Beast, but he got severely injured by the beast. If he hadn’t run fast, he would have probably lost his life."

"This Clouded Leopard is too arrogant."

"Is there really no genius on the second step of the Sky Ladder who can defeat this Clouded Leopard? Do we need to ask for a genius from the first step to intervene?"

Many warriors were speaking with very unpleasant expressions.

Lin Bai walked downstairs, his ears catching the many discussions among the warriors on the first floor, leaving him somewhat puzzled.

The waiter walked over with a smile, "My guest, would you like to go out for a walk?"

"Yeah, I’ve been cooped up in the room for too long and I want to stroll around Purple Gold City. Waiter, what’s fun to do here in Purple Gold City?" Lin Bai asked with a smile.

"That depends on what the guest wants to play. If the guest wants to play with women, go to East City, where there are over a dozen Pleasure Houses; if the guest wants to play dice and cards, head to South City, where there are over a dozen Gambling Houses; if the guest wants to find someone for a Martial Arts Competition, go to North City, where there are many Martial Arts Stages; if the guest wants to treasure hunt, head to South City, where there is a market freely operated by Warriors."

The Waiter said softly.

Lin Bai memorized the Waiter’s words and, per the Waiter’s directions, realized he was currently in South City of Purple Gold City.

"By the way, Waiter, they were talking about something called a Clouded Leopard, what is that?" Lin Bai asked curiously.

The Waiter replied, "Guest, it’s normal for you not to know these things since you haven’t been out for a few days."

"This is how it is. The day before yesterday at dusk, a Beast King of the Great Perfection of Flying Sky Realm suddenly appeared from within the Night Crow Mountain Range. It’s terrifyingly strong and is called the Clouded Leopard!"

"After its arrival, it challenged many talented Warriors in Purple Gold City under the guise of Martial Arts Competitions, particularly those on the Sky Ladder, and more than ten Warriors on the Sky Ladder have already died at its hands."

"In just two days’ time, it went from the third step to the second step on the Sky Ladder."

"If this Demon Beast continues its rampage, I guess we will have to ask the three Princes from the first step to take action."

"That’s why these Warriors are so infuriated," the Waiter said, chuckling softly.

"It’s just a challenge, winning and losing are normal, aren’t they?" Lin Bai said, not understanding.

"Guest, you don’t understand. The apprenticeship in Purple Gold City, held once every five years, is the peak event for our youths in Lingnan Continent, and every time the Demon Clan likes to meddle, which truly annoys us," the Waiter chuckled.

"Moreover, it’s common knowledge that the Demon Clan and Human Clan have had discord for many years. Any Warrior of the Human Clan with a bit of spirit would not accept being trampled upon by a Demon Beast."

"Guest, if you’re interested, you can go have a look outside the city. That Clouded Leopard is on Cold Mountain right in front of Purple Gold City!"

Upon hearing this, Lin Bai showed some interest on his face: "Cold Mountain! Clouded Leopard!"

"Sure, I’ll take a look when I’m free."

Lin Bai said with a light smile, bid farewell to the Waiter, and left the Tianbao Inn.

Lin Bai strolled leisurely on the streets of Purple Gold City, stopping to look at many interesting things.

Half a day later, a group of hurried Warriors ran past Lin Bai, shouting, "Wen Hong on the second step of the Sky Ladder was slain by the Clouded Leopard, and his head is still hanging from a tree branch on Cold Mountain!"

"The Clouded Leopard even said, ’Are there no capable Warriors in the Human Clan?’"

This news spread through Purple Gold City like a wildfire!

"This Clouded Leopard actually killed a Warrior from the second step of the Sky Ladder... interesting..." Lin Bai’s face showed a hint of interest upon hearing this news.

Lin Bai had fought with Warriors on the second step of the Sky Ladder before and knew the capabilities of those Warriors there, which were indeed extraordinary and difficult to overcome.

And that the Clouded Leopard had killed a Warrior on the second step indicated that this Demon Beast Powerhouse was indeed very strong.

"Let’s take a look..." Lin Bai, now intrigued, headed towards the city gate.
