My power increases 100 Jin a Day-Chapter 463 - 203: Midnight Ghost Tower

Sunrise and sunset.

Sunset and sunrise.

Jiang Shi quietly cultivated in Qilin City, the talent of the Hundredfold Dragon Elephant fully displayed. Even the profound cultivation technique like the Nine Dragon Dominating Demon Body was nothing to him.

In just a few days, he once again broke through the First Heaven, reaching the Fourth Realm!

The Eight Great Zodiac Gods had already arrived a few days prior.

However, adhering to their usual low-profile approach, after entering the city, these eight gods quickly went into seclusion, focusing on recovering their injuries.

Ten days passed swiftly.

Except for occasionally going out for meals, Jiang Shi spent all his time diligently cultivating.

However, during these ten days, Qilin City was not peaceful either.

The news of the Demon Path Alliance’s massive attack on the Thirty-Six Alliance spread like wildfire, causing countless people to be on edge.

Almost every day, many people came from outside.

And many more hastily fled from Qilin City.

Various bits of truth and falsehoods circulated, causing unease in countless hearts.

Every sect and family was in a state of panic for a time.

Especially as night fell, the city’s security deteriorated to the extreme.

At this moment.

The sky was dark, around seven or eight o’clock. 𝒻𝘳ℯℯ𝑤ℯ𝒷𝘯ℴ𝓋ℯ𝘭.𝑐ℴ𝑚

In the courtyard.

Under an old locust tree.

The landlord, Mr. Ge, sat on a stone bench, clinking glasses with Jiang Shi, sipping the wine in the cup in one gulp. He smacked his lips and said, "How about it, Brother Jiang, does this Spirit Snake Wine unique to Qilin City suit your taste?"

Jiang Shi tasted it lightly, only to find it aromatic, spicy, and fresh as it entered his mouth. At the same time, a flame seemed to connect with his blood, attempting to blaze in his body, bringing an intangible pleasure that made his hair stand on end.

"It truly is good wine."

Jiang Shi praised.

Mr. Ge smiled slightly and said, "This Spirit Snake Wine is hard to find in Qilin City, usually reserved for the high officials and nobles. This jar was only acquired with much difficulty. If not for the recent unfavorable winds in the city and many officials and nobles fleeing overnight, this jar of wine wouldn’t have been so easy to get hold of."

"So many people have left, is the Demon Path Alliance’s attack truly so fierce?"

Jiang Shi inquired.

"More than fierce, I heard there was a traitor in the Thirty-Six Alliance."

Mr. Ge leaned in and said in a hushed voice.

"A traitor?"

"Yes, the Giant Sword Sect, Profound Gang Sect, and Flame Sect within the Thirty-Six Alliance suddenly defected to the Demon Path Alliance at a critical moment, causing a breach in the defense at the far west of the Thirty-Six Alliance. The Demon Path Alliance’s experts launched a successful incursion. I hear the entire west is in chaos now."

Mr. Ge said.

Qilin City is located in the Northern Domain of the Thirty-Six Alliance.

White Dragon City is located in the Southern Domain.

The west’s position is equidistant from both the Northern and Southern Domains.

No wonder the upheaval in Qilin City, with many noble families fleeing in haste.

Because no one is sure if the experts of the Demon Path Alliance will head to the Southern Domain after taking over the west, or come directly to their Northern Domain.

"In that case, can the Midnight Ghost Tower still be held smoothly?"

Jiang Shi asked.

"Hard to say."

Mr. Ge gently shook his head, pondering, "But with the royal family backing the Midnight Ghost Tower, it might still be held smoothly. Either way, we’ll know by tomorrow evening. By then, you can go to Wu’s Pawnshop to find out."

"Alright."

Jiang Shi nodded.

The two continued drinking under the old locust tree.

After a while.

Mr. Ge slowly stood up and, escorted by Jiang Shi, left the place.

In the dark, Qilin City resembled a mixed dye vat.

Various events began to unfold continuously.

Jiang Shi merely glanced into the distance and saw many people in black swiftly scaling walls, entering homes, and taking large amounts of gold and silver treasures.

Some were even carrying weapons, with a faint bloody aura.

Jiang Shi shook his head lightly, returned to his room, and disregarded them.

Though he ignored them, those in black were not willing to spare this area.

One by one, they came searching.

Soon, someone climbed into his courtyard.

"Quick action, Midnight Enchanting Fragrance, hurry and deploy!"

Whispered someone in black.

Soon, the entire courtyard was filled with a faint strange fragrance.

More than that.

Someone even poked through the windows, sending a large amount of Midnight Enchanting Fragrance into Jiang Shi’s room.

"Gentlemen, breaking in at midnight is a bit much, don’t you think?"

A calm voice suddenly sounded from behind these people in black.

Who?

The group in black was startled, quickly turning around.

Upon seeing a figure dressed in a black robe appearing behind them, they immediately threw lime powder without thinking, and then with a Body Technique like the wind, lunged towards Jiang Shi, aiming to strike him.

But just as they pounced, they simultaneously felt a blackness before their eyes, their necks struck by what felt like lightning, and instantly fell to the ground unconscious.

Jiang Shi withdrew his hand, shaking his head slightly.

Too weak.

The strongest among these people in black was just at Blood Exchange First Heaven!

Daring to scale walls and commit crimes at this moment.

Truly ignorant of life and death!

He hoisted the bodies of these people in black, jumped a few times, left the courtyard, and hurled them like garbage by the roadside.

Having done all this, Jiang Shi lightly clapped his hands and immediately turned to leave.

But just as he started walking away.

Loud rumbles suddenly came from the front, accompanied by intense noises, echoing with a booming sound.
