Chapter 410: Chapter 231: This Brother is Indeed Fierce_2
He furrowed his brow, saying, “Go to Qinglin City and gather information. Find out why the Jade Spirit Sect and the Su Family want that young man. What is their objective?”
“Yes, Hall Master!”
The middle-aged man hurriedly left.
The bounty for Xu Yan was still in effect in the Thundercloud Pavilion in Qinglin City.
However, it was rumored that a martial artist had provided information about the youth and had received the bounty.
The Deacons of the Jade Spirit Sect and the Su Family had already set off to capture him.
The martial artists at Thundercloud Pavilion couldn’t help but envy him. Not only had the loose cultivator received the reward, but he had also won the favor of the Jade Spirit Sect and the Su Family. If he was admired by the deacons, he might even have the chance to join the Jade Spirit Sect and the Su Family.
Even being a low-level affiliate martial artist under a Spirit Sect or clan was still stronger than being a loose cultivator.
The middle-aged man entered Thundercloud Pavilion and quietly exchanged information with several martial artists from the All Ages Alliance. Surprisingly, he found no news of the young man being captured.
Had it not been announced, or was the young man not caught?
The bounty was still active, which indicated that the Deacons of the Jade Spirit Sect and the Su Family hadn’t returned yet.
Or they had caught the man elsewhere and hadn’t had time to cancel the bounty?
A day later.
Two older men appeared in Thundercloud Pavilion, followed by a few martial artists brimming with murderous aura.
All the martial artists in the Thundercloud Pavilion felt a chill in their hearts.
They were Refining God Heavenly Men!
What’s more, they were from both the Jade Spirit Sect and the Su Family. The several people following behind were their guards, responsible for chasing and killing enemy martial artists.
The middle-aged man’s heart skipped a beat. A shocking thought came to mind.
Had the Deacons of the Jade Spirit Sect and the Su Family been killed by the young man?
He was so young, yet he could kill the deacons of a Spirit Sect and a clan?
It’s important to know that the cultivation techniques of a Spirit Sect and a clan were stronger than those of a loose cultivator. Therefore, their martial artists were usually stronger.
Of course, there were some powerful loose cultivators who could match those from a Spirit Sect and a clan in the same cultivation realm, but there weren’t many of them.
Moreover, those who got such opportunities usually had more powerful cultivation techniques.
“Whoever provides information leading to this man will be rewarded with one million Spirit Crystals and a bottle of Soul Concentration Pills. Whoever captures this man will also receive a bottle of Soul Concentration Pills and a lower-grade Spiritual Artifact,” said the Elder of the Jade Spirit Sect in a deep voice.
All the martial artists in Thundercloud Pavilion were immediately stirred up.
“Whoever provides clues and helps catch this man can become an outer guard of the Su Family.”
The Su family elder added, causing the loose cultivators to be instantly excited, for that was a chance for them to break away from being loose cultivators and become martial artists of a clan!
In an instant, numerous loose cultivators left immediately to find Xu Yan.
The news spread quickly and within less than a day, it was all over Yuzhou.
The Jade Spirit Sect and the Su Family were jointly hunting a loose cultivator.
It shook Yuzhou’s martial arts world. This was far more shocking than the Dai Family’s manhunt of Wen Yong.
The Jade Spirit Sect was the first sect in Yuzhou, leading among the three sects. The Su Family was one of the five major clans. Their joint manhunt of a loose cultivator was incredibly rare in the history of Yuzhou’s martial arts world!
After all, the Dai Family was nothing more than a second-rate clan!
Various forces in Yuzhou began to investigate the identity of Xu Yan and tried to figure out the reasons for the Jade Spirit Sect and the Su Family manhunt.
Shortly thereafter, many forces along with some well-informed loose cultivators found out the cause!
Qing Sky Tomb!
The youth had fought the Qing Sky Tomb Dragon, which had turned into a monster, but then the Qing Sky Tomb Dragon disappeared, and the Jade Spirit Sect and the Su Family were searching for it.
The deacon who went to capture the young man was killed!
Everyone knew he was must have been killed by the young man.
It was because of this that the Jade Spirit Sect and the Su Family were enraged and issued a bounty!
“So that’s the reason!”
The Hall Master of the All Ages Alliance branch revealed a sudden realization.
“Look for his whereabouts. We need more of these ambitious talents, who dare to offend the Spirit Sects and clans, in our All Ages Alliance!”
“Yes, Hall Master!”
The All Ages Alliance was in action, looking for traces of Xu Yan.
Meanwhile, no one yet knew Xu Yan’s true identity.
In a city, Shen Haizhou was muttering to himself, “This brother is indeed fierce. He doesn’t hesitate to kill people from the Jade Spirit Sect and the Su Family. He is indeed the one who tamed the Qing Sky Tomb Dragon.
“This is a perfect opportunity. If I can help him escape, wouldn’t that make us good friends?”
Shen Haizhou was thrilled. He hurriedly activated the Shen Family’s intelligence system to join the search for Xu Yan.
“If nothing goes wrong, this brother will likely try to escape Yuzhou, probably via the Yuzhou Mang Mountain.”
Shen Haizhou made a mental judgement.
The obscure Mang Mountain on the outskirts of Yuzhou was a route many escaping loose cultivators took.
Once inside the Mang Mountain, they could use its terrain to escape the pursuers. The chances of escaping Yuzhou were much higher.
Although the loose cultivators knew that the Spirit Sects and clans would focus their search on the Mang Mountain, escape through other places was extremely difficult.
Only on the Mang Mountain could there be a chance.
Besides, stretching thousands of miles wide, Mang Mountain is too vast to be completely guarded by Spirit Sect and aristocratic families.
On his way to the Mang Mountain, Shen Haizhou was thrilled, thinking, “I’ve a feeling that this man must be ferocious, just like the Blood Demon from the past!”
Xu Yan kept moving towards the Mang Mountain.
“I feel like things might get tricky. The Jade Spirit Sect and the Su Family might be blocking your way on the Mang Mountain!”
Yu Xiaolong asserted with a worried tone.
“How would they know I’d be heading towards the Mang Mountain?”
Xu Yan asked with a furrowed brow.
“The Mang Mountain is a known hideaway for loose cultivators to escape from the Spirit Sect and aristocratic families. Any loose cultivators who had offended them would make their escape from Mang Mountain and away from Yuzhou.”
Yu Xiaolong furthered with a helpless tone.
Xu Yan narrowed his eyes and asked, “Where on Mang Mountain could I find the Earthly Dragon Qi without being discovered?”
“Mang Mountain is vast. It won’t be easily discovered. As long as you can enter Mang Mountain, the problem is not that significant.”
Yu Xiaolong in a deep voice.
“It’s not difficult to enter the Mang Mountain.”
Xu Yan affirmed confidently.
Suddenly, his expression changed as he turned his head towards a distance.
Over there, a martial artist held a scroll in his hand, looking at him and then down at the scroll.
“Quick, kill him!”
Yu Xiaolong cried out in haste.
Without a word, Xu Yan had already lashed out his sword.
He moved, appearing before the man abruptly.
Thump!
The martial artist was instantly killed. Looking at his attire, he seemed to be a martial artist from third-rate aristocratic family.
Xu Yan snatched the scroll. The person in the painting was handsome and stood with a sword clutched to his chest.
“Pretty good, Jade Spirit Sect and the Su Family, I will remember you!”
Xu Yan voiced coldly.
True Yuan surged, turning the scroll into flying ashes immediately.
Xu Yan pondered for a bit. He can’t continue to move around so openly and flying mid-air, it’s too easy to be spotted.
Coming down from mid-air, Xu Yan changed his outfit, activating his True Yuan. His facial muscles twitched slightly, changing his appearance.
“Your face-changing trick won’t fool anybody,”
Yu Xiaolong warned.
“As long as no one scrutinizes it, they won’t discover it.”
Xu Yan responded with a light smile.
As long as people didn’t get close to scrutinize him, they wouldn’t be able to tell that he had changed his appearance.
Following it, he used the technique “Like Dust in the Light”, blending his aura with the surrounding.
To Yu Xiaolong’s surprise, it coiled around Xu Yan’s wrist, only feeling a slight change in his aura, and didn’t delve into it any further.
“Let’s go, we have to reach Mang Mountain as soon as possible.”
A sense of urgency flitted across Xu Yan’s heart. Being at the Tongxuan Realm was just too weak.
Now being chased and targeted by the Jade Spirit Sect and Su Family, he had to break through the Divine Intent State as soon as possible. Only by breaking through the Divine Intent State could he boost his confidence for handling the manhunt by both powers.
Moreover, after breaking through the Divine Intent State, Sudden Wind Sword Intent would transform and become stronger. Even if it is the Divine Soul of a Refining God Heavenly Man, it is not necessarily indestructible!
Divine Intent State is a barrier. By breaking through it, some mysterious martial techniques could truly demonstrate their power.
Walking through the mountains and forests, Xu Yan maintained a swift pace.
Whoosh!
In mid-air, a heavenly man martial artist passed while searching.
Xu Yan had applied “Like Dust in the Light” technique, blending into the environment unnoticed. As far as the Heavenly Man’s senses were concerned, Xu Yan was merely a tree trunk by the tree.
In the following few days, Heavenly Men chased by, one after the other.
“Not bad, Jade Spirit Sect and Su Family. Sending one Heavenly Man after another, they really value me, Xu Yan.”
Xu Yan exclaimed.
Is it necessary to make such a big fuss just because I killed two deacons?
“Perhaps, it is not because of the people I killed, but for the Blue Sky Crocodile.”
Xu Yan pondered.
Continuing on to Mang Mountain, there were a growing number of martial artists scouting the area. Considering this, Xu Yan had to head towards the wilderness and to the mountains and dense woods.
He also understood why loose cultivators all chose to escape Yuzhou from the Mang Mountain.
It was simply due to the route to the Mang Mountain being full of mountains and dense forests, which were good hiding spots.
Suddenly, Xu Yan’s complexion changed.
He stretched his hand into his sleeve and seizing Yu Xiaolong’s neck they instantly hid in a cluster of thorny bushes.
