Chapter 35: The Bounty
The notice said that as long as someone went to slaughter Qingshan Town, they could receive a thousand spirit stones from the city lord, as well as a reward of a medium-grade spirit weapon.
The robbers in Black Wind City who were originally murderous and oversold gathered here, and there was naturally no psychological burden to do this kind of thing.
But this kind of thing is never something that ordinary people can accomplish, at least it has to be a second-level qi refiner or above to complete it.
This made many Jiangyang thieves who wanted to take this order sigh, and they only hated that they didn't have that strength.
You must know that a spirit stone in the cultivation world is hard to find in the mortal world, and it is difficult to buy one or a thousand spirit stones in a million taels of silver, and a small country like Cai Guo may not be able to compare to this thousand spirit stones even if it is a year's tax.
As for the medium-grade spiritual weapon, it is a legendary artifact, not to mention the people of the rivers and lakes, even the qi refiners are extremely eager to get it.
For Qi refiners above the second level of Qi refining, slaughtering a small town of thousands of people was just a trivial matter that could be easily done, and everyone was vying to take on this errand with such a heavy reward.
It didn't take long for six or seven second-level Qi Refiners to stand up, all of whom wanted to uncover the notice.
Several people were arguing, and they were about to make a move, but suddenly an old man in black came out of the crowd, with a gloomy face, and snorted coldly: "The second-level qi refiner is also worthy of coming to unveil the list, get out of here." β
The arguing people looked at him angrily, and one of the fat men punched directly at the old man's face, but before the fist touched the corner of the old man's clothes, he was hit in the fat man's chest with a lightning-fast punch.
The fat man's fat body weighing hundreds of pounds flew up in an instant, and then fell heavily to the ground.
When he fell to the ground, a brave man went to inspect him, and the man put his hand between the fat man's mouth and nose, and instantly withdrew his hand in fright, and exclaimed, "He's dead!" β
Everyone heard the words and gasped. With a single blow, he killed the fat man on the second layer of qi refining, how terrifying the strength of this old man should be.
The onlookers dispersed, far away from the old man.
There were a few people in the crowd whose eyes flashed, and they sensed his strength the moment the old man made a move, the sixth layer of qi refining, was actually a master of the sixth layer of qi refining.
However, these people did not have a conflict with the old man, not because they didn't want the medium-grade spirit weapons and spirit stones, but because they were more calm and cautious.
You must know these two rewards, even the City Lord's Mansion can be regarded as a hemorrhage, and the strength of the City Lord's Mansion is also obvious to all in Black Wind City.
There are more than ten Qi Refiners alone, one is the first and the other two city lords are the strength of the eighth layer of Qi refining and the seventh layer of Qi refining, looking at the range of three thousand miles, which force is the opponent of the City Lord's Mansion?
Now the city lord's mansion has put up a notice offering a reward for the slaughter of a mundane town, and the reason for this is really unpredictable.
But the only thing that is certain is that this is not pie in the sky, and the task is by no means as simple as it seems.
When the old man in black saw that everyone was retreating, he brushed his beard with satisfaction and walked forward quickly to remove this notice, and he was already fantasizing in his heart about the wonderful picture of receiving a medium-grade spiritual weapon and a thousand spirit stones in the city lord's mansion.
The corner of his eyes swept over a few people who looked at him with indifferent expressions, these people were all masters who were not much different from his strength, three of them were at the fifth level of qi refining, and two of them were at the sixth level of qi refining.
But none of them seemed to have any intention of competing with him, and a disdainful smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, these guys were too timid, and they didn't know how to cherish a fortune that fell from the sky for nothing.
As for the reason why the City Lord's Mansion didn't make a move, he thought that it might be that Black Wind City didn't want to offend Cai Guo too much, after all, Qingshan Town was also a town in Cai Guo.
That's why I found them to do it, and the two sides won't be too stiff.
Thinking of this, he grabbed the notice with his hand, and was about to remove it.
Unexpectedly, there was a chuckle behind him, and when he turned his head to look, he saw a white-robed young man standing behind him, with a long sword hanging from his waist, a hard face, and a thin body.
What was surprising was that he didn't notice the slightest fluctuation of true qi from him, just like an ordinary person.
After confirming that the other party was an ordinary person, the old man snorted coldly: "What are you laughing at?" Who allowed you to laugh? After speaking, he didn't make a move, and his whole body was outwardly vigorous, wanting to rely on his true qi to overwhelm the other party.
Unexpectedly, the true qi released by himself bounced off on its own after touching this person, and he couldn't get close to his body.
The old man was shocked, and he was about to make a tentative move, but he felt an invisible momentum emanating from the person's body, and he was obviously a little thin body, but at this moment the old man felt as if he was facing a mountain that could only be looked up to.
Then there was an unbelievable scene in the audience, and the arrogant old man actually knelt down in front of the young man in front of him with a plop.
A look of shock flashed in the eyes of the few people in the crowd who had looked at the old man, and the old man who was kneeling on the ground shouted loudly: "Haoran righteousness!" Are you a protΓ©gΓ© of Confucianism? β
The person who came was Ye Ziyu, who meditated and practiced in the woods all night, and took more than 30 bottles of nearly 1,000 Qi Refining Pills in a row.
As expected, he had only broken through to the middle stage of the fifth layer of Qi refining. The Haoran True Qi obtained by cultivating the Qiantian Hao Qi Decision was extremely pure, and a large amount of elixir aura was refined in the body over and over again by the Qiantian Hao Qi Determination.
It was constantly transformed into wisps of pure white Haoran True Qi, and even the sequelae of using too many pills to improve cultivation never appeared, and all the impurities in the pills were extracted and refined, leaving only wisps of extremely pure aura.
Ye Ziyu also roughly estimated the current strength of Zhang Lianhao in Black Wind City during his cultivation, and after considering Zhang Lianhao's age, Ye Ziyu decided to take the initiative and not give Zhang Lianhao time to breathe.
As for the overall strength of the Black Wind City City Lord's Mansion, Ye Ziyu also had a general understanding of it in the restaurant that day, the deputy city lord Chen Chuanfeng was basically the strongest combat power in Black Wind City, and the city lord Lian Hao had not fought with anyone for many years.
Now Ye Ziyu's combat power is enough to compete with the seventh-layer Qi Refiner, and the body that has been tempered and transformed by Haoran Righteous Qi is extremely strong, as long as he is given the opportunity to get close, any Qi Refiner below the tenth layer is not his opponent in terms of physical strength.
Ye Ziyu directly returned to his original appearance after coming to Black Wind City, and as he expected, Zhang Lianhao became more and more timid the older he became, and he was directly frightened by the news of Chen Chuanfeng's death and hid.
It's just that he actually played the trick of offering a reward for slaughtering the town, which made Ye Ziyu more and more determined to kill him.
This kind of person will be avenged, not to mention the blood feud between the two.
When Ye Ziyu came, he happened to see the old man unveiling the list, so he took advantage of the situation and showed such a heroic and righteous spirit in front of everyone, the purpose was to deter people's hearts, so that these guys in Black Wind City who were about to move did not dare to fish in troubled waters.
Because Ye Ziyu will go straight to the City Lord's Mansion in a while, if these guys jump out to make trouble, it will undoubtedly bring a lot of trouble to Ye Ziyu.
When everyone heard the words "Haoran Righteousness", there was a look of shock in their eyes, and the people around them focused their eyes on Ye Ziyu, and even the eyes of those Qi Refiners who were above the top flashed with surprise.
Haoran righteousness, as an extremely rare true qi attribute, is very rare in the entire human race, and most of the people who can cultivate Haoran righteousness are the core disciples of Confucianism, how can they appear in a small black wind city in the north of this human world?
Ye Ziyu nodded with satisfaction in his heart, what he wanted was this effect, he didn't pay attention to the old man kneeling on the ground, pulled out the long sword in his waist, and slashed through the wall of the city lord's mansion with a swing, and the sword went straight to the main hall in the middle.
The expressions of everyone present changed, and then they heard the white-robed young man say loudly: "Zhang Lianhao, your son was killed by me, dare to come out and fight me!" β
The sound echoed throughout the Black Wind City, and the entire Black Wind City became dead silence in an instant, even the cries in the street market and the sound of fist slashing in the tavern were silent, as if the whole world had fallen silent.
A moment later, Black Wind City was boiling, and exclamations rang out one after another.
An angry roar came from the city lord's mansion: "Little beast An dares to be so rampant, wait for me to take your life!" β
