Blue Card Starry Sky

Chapter 14 Penglai Ancient City
Having not slept a wink all night, Lan Tian returned to Blue Valley early in the morning to continue his cultivation. The advancement in his cultivation level had given him boundless energy and inexhaustible strength. He ran several laps around Blue Valley today, and in a good mood, everything seemed beautiful. He was especially happy to see Qin Lei today; something good must have come his way again.

Having not seen him for a few days, Qin Lei was astonished to find that Lan Tian had advanced to the fourth level—unbelievable! The speed was astounding. During his time overseeing affairs in the city, he had noticed some unusual activity; several major families seemed poised for action, indicating something significant was about to happen. He had specifically returned today to give Lan Tian some experience, as real combat experience was essential for developing talent. The three of them, including Lan Yu, returned to Penglai Ancient City that evening. After arranging accommodations, Qin Lei had a long talk with Lan Tian, ​​urging him to stabilize his cultivation, progress gradually, and not be too hasty. A solid foundation was crucial for future development and preparation. He shared some insights and cultivation methods with him before heading off to make further arrangements.

Returning to Penglai Ancient City for the second time, Lan Tian felt a sense of familiarity and developed an affection for the ancient city. That evening, it was still early, so he and Lan Yu slipped out of the courtyard for a stroll. The two chatted and laughed together, wandering along the streets, buying whatever looked delicious and wanting whatever interesting objects they saw. After eating and playing to their hearts' content, the two brothers excitedly headed back. It was already late at night, and the streets and alleys were deserted; the shops were all closed for the night. They had stayed out a bit too late. As they passed through a dark alley, they heard someone calling for help.

"What are you doing? Help!" A woman's urgent cry for help broke the silence of the night. The nearby alley was dimly lit, and it was impossible to see what was happening ahead.

"Brother, someone's calling for help. Let's go check it out," Lan Tian said to Lan Yu.

"Okay, hurry up." Lan Yu rushed over in a panic.

In a dimly lit corner, three lewd men were committing indecent acts against a beautiful woman. They were groping and groping her, their faces contorted with lewdness and laughter.

"Scream, haha, no one will come to save you. Be a good girl and serve us well. Little darling, you really are a little beauty." One of the leaders directly grabbed the woman, whose upper body had already been torn open, revealing her snow-white skin, which made the three men even more frenzied and anxious.

"Stop, you bunch of beasts!" Lan Yu arrived just in time and reprimanded them. Interrupting their good time infuriated them, and they roared at Lan Yu:
"Get lost! How dare you interrupt my good time! If you don't leave, you'll die a horrible death!"

"Hey, you guys give it a try."

"What a fucking spoilsport, teach this kid a lesson."

Three men surrounded Lan Yu. The leader had a pockmarked face, his lewd features extremely ugly and repulsive. Lan Yu felt like vomiting at the sight, almost throwing up his dinner. He thought to himself that encountering such shameless, ugly, and lewd thieves was the worst luck imaginable. He charged at them, engaging in a chaotic brawl. Lan Yu easily dealt with the three, beating them until they were bruised and battered, feeling a sense of satisfaction. Lan Tian, ​​a step behind, saw the woman huddled in a corner, dressed in tattered clothes, her face flushed, but her figure alluring—a true beauty. He quickly went over and draped his clothes over her, telling her to hurry home, that they were here for her. The woman was very grateful, turned back to salute them, and ran away quickly. Watching the woman's figure gradually disappear, Lan Tian felt relieved; she should be safe now.

The three men were even angrier when they saw Lantian let the beauty go. The leader, who had been beaten, was also furious. He pulled out a curved knife, which was shining brightly. His whole body was emitting a fiery red spiritual energy, indicating that he was at the third level of fire attribute cultivation.

"Not good, Big Brother, be careful!" Lan Tian immediately warned Lan Yu to guard against the attack, as Lan Yu, being at the second tier, couldn't use wind attributes for attack or defense yet. In the blink of an eye, Lan Tian conjured a ball of lightning energy and launched it directly at the leader.

Beams of light flashed by, and the light spheres bombarded the man, causing sparks to fly everywhere.

"boom"

"Ah!" The leader fell to the ground with a thud, his curved blade flying out of his hand. Lan Tian rushed to his side, drew his small sword, and pierced the leader's chest. The leader died without a sound. Seeing this, the other two lost all will to fight and ran away, disappearing in the blink of an eye.

Lan Yu was stunned. Lan Tian was so powerful and ruthless.

The two didn't linger and quickly returned to the old house, forgetting about the incident. The next day, news spread throughout the city that the heinous lecherous rogue, Ma Zi, had been killed. The entire city rejoiced, clapping and cheering; finally, someone had stood up for them and rid the people of a scourge.
