Ling Tian Sword God

Chapter 617: Chapter 615 Bright Moon Tower_1

On the western side of Dark Sky City, the Shadow Tower.

The crescent moon hung high in the sky, yet beneath the Shadow Tower, it was pitch black. One could hardly see their own hand before their face.

Three shadows stood at the base of the tower.

”Brothers, I was insulted by that brat today in front of a large crowd. You have to help me reclaim my dignity; otherwise, I, Yuan Gang, will not be able to maintain my footing in Dark Sky City.”

The speaker was none other than Yuan Gang, who had been knocked out cold by Ling Chen in broad daylight.

”You’re saying this man isn’t from our Black Market, and he dared to insult you so casually in Dark Sky City for no reason?”

Another man furrowed his brows. If Ling Chen were present, he would recognize him. This man was none other than Leng Jue, the top young expert of the Black Market.

”This man has no regard for anyone; he is extremely arrogant. He didn’t take any of us from the Shadow Tower seriously. I simply rebuked him once, and he seriously injured me,” Yuan Gang complained, gnashing his teeth.

”Oh? He dared to be so impudent?”

The remaining black-robed man’s eyes turned cold. ”Lead the way. We will pay him a visit.”

”Yes!”

A hint of joy flashed in Yuan Gang’s eyes. His heart filled with sneers. The two individuals before him are the strongest assassins within the Shadow Tower. With these two here, I don’t believe they can’t handle Ling Chen.

The humiliation Ling Chen dealt him today, he would definitely return a hundredfold.

...

「Dark Sky City, Bright Moon Tower.」

Bright Moon Tower was the largest brothel in the entire Martial World. The branch in Dark Sky City was merely one of many, yet it was already incomparably magnificent, occupying a vast area and glittering with gold, resembling a royal palace.

At the top of Bright Moon Tower was the Bright Moon Terrace, a place only the most distinguished figures in the Martial World could visit.

”Come now, Young Master, have another cup.”

”Young Master, you truly have an impressive capacity.”

Numerous songstresses and dancers, like a flock of lively orioles and swallows, surrounded a young man not yet twenty years old, creating a bustling scene. Many nearby guests looked over, their gazes fixed on the young man.

”What’s the background of that young man? Why did even the Bright Moon Tower Owner come out to greet him?”

”To be personally received by the Bright Moon Tower Owner, he must be one of those titans of the Martial World! This young man definitely has an extraordinary background!”

”I heard that Bright Moon Tower’s top courtesan, Miss Mu Qing, has already been reserved, likely by him.”

”Reserving Miss Mu Qing for a night costs at least several hundred thousand taels of gold. And that’s only if the lady herself is willing.”

...

The crowd buzzed with discussion.

Though surrounded by a crowd of seductively dressed brothel women, Ling Chen remained calm and composed throughout, not sparing them an extra glance.

”Young Master, our girls here are quite pleasing, aren’t they?” the Bright Moon Tower Owner chirped, her face lit with a smile.

The Bright Moon Tower Owner appeared to be a woman around thirty years old, still possessing considerable charm. She had an excellent figure, fair skin, and alluring curves, and she exuded a captivating fragrance. With just a slight glance, Ling Chen discerned her Martial Arts Cultivation: Half-step Sky Apex Realm. Such Cultivation, even within the Black Market, was considered a leader-level existence. She was no simple character.

The Bright Moon Tower Owner seemed very interested in Ling Chen. She deliberately moved closer to him, her full bosom occasionally brushing against his arm. Her coquettish eyes gleamed with amorous intent as she shamelessly teased Ling Chen.

She had learned from Lin Ya that the young man before her was of extremely noble status. Lin Ya had instructed her to serve him with the highest standards, as today, in this very pavilion, the young man would meet several elders of the Black Market. Anyone who could sit on equal footing with these elders was no ordinary figure.

Lin Ya had already made it clear: if the Bright Moon Tower Owner could successfully use one of the women to entice Ling Chen into spending a night with her, it would be considered a great meritorious deed.

That was why she had arranged such a grand reception for Ling Chen.

It had to be said, the Bright Moon Tower Owner was indeed an exceptionally alluring woman. Any other man, under her provocative advances, would likely have been consumed by lust.

Unfortunately for her, Ling Chen had seen too many peerless beauties—Xu Ruoyan, Xia Yunxin, Qing Luo, and Lin Ya, for instance—all women of exceptional temperament and appearance. The Bright Moon Tower Owner paled in comparison. How could she possibly seduce Ling Chen?

Seeing Ling Chen unmoved, the Bright Moon Tower Owner signaled the stunning woman beside her. If I can’t do it, then we’ll have to let others try.

”Young Master, allow this humble one to pour you a drink,” the stunning woman said, sitting down beside Ling Chen. Dressed in a gauzy, moon-white robe, she held an exquisite jade-like cup with her fair, slender fingers and offered it to Ling Chen’s lips.

It had to be said, this Miss Mu Qing was indeed deserving of her title as the First Courtesan of Bright Moon Tower. She was exceptionally beautiful. Though not on par with Xu Ruoyan or Xia Yunxin, she was nearly as lovely as Lin Ya. However, an air of world-weariness clung to her.

Mu Qing’s figure was full and voluptuous, her skin fair and tender. Beneath her delicate, thin garment, a deep, captivating cleavage was visible. She exuded an alluring fragrance. Her star-like eyes, so limpid they seemed as if water could drip from them, gazed tenderly at Ling Chen.

She was very curious about Ling Chen’s identity. It was rather incredible that a young man, barely older than herself, could garner such high regard from the Black Market. She was confident that with her beauty, a hot-blooded young man like Ling Chen could not possibly remain indifferent.

However, Ling Chen merely took the wine cup, drained it, and did not spare her a second glance.

Miss Mu Qing was somewhat disappointed. She gave Ling Chen a resentful look. He’s truly so unromantic!

At that moment, several whooshing sounds of air being torn suddenly echoed.

Three black shadows appeared on the Bright Moon Terrace. It was none other than Yuan Gang, Leng Jue, and their companion.

The three simultaneously released an incomparably frigid aura, causing the courtesans to retreat in fear.

”It’s people from Shadow Tower!”

The many guests on the Bright Moon Terrace paled upon hearing this. Clearly, the name ”Shadow Tower” held considerable intimidating power for most people.

Both Miss Mu Qing and the Bright Moon Tower Owner retreated slightly, feeling oppressed. It seemed as if the air in the entire private pavilion was solidifying, making it difficult for them to breathe.

”It’s Yuan Gang, Leng Jue, and Dugu Xie—Shadow Tower’s three strongest young assassins!” someone exclaimed.

The Bright Moon Tower Owner’s pretty face also changed color. Why have the three great experts of Shadow Tower’s younger generation come here?

Only Ling Chen remained in his seat, utterly still, as composed and unshakeable as a great boulder.

”Elder Brothers, that’s him!” Yuan Gang’s gaze instantly locked onto Ling Chen, a cold glint flaring in his eyes. I’ll probably never forget this face for the rest of my life!

Leng Jue was inwardly surprised. So young? But when he saw Ling Chen’s face clearly, his body suddenly stiffened, and he exclaimed, ”It’s actually him!”

”Elder Brother Leng, you know this person?” Yuan Gang asked, somewhat puzzled.

”Of course, I do.” Leng Jue looked at Yuan Gang with profound meaning. Is this junior brother of mine out of his mind to actually offend this person?
