Chapter 9 Tearing Up the Yellow List



When you live under someone's roof, you have to bow your head. The three of them cleaned the yard in the first half of the night, slept soundly in the second half, and had to get up early in the morning to move bricks.

Last night, Yun Xian was half asleep and half awake, and she felt a slight pain in her left arm, as if something was drilling into it. When she woke up in the morning, there was no trace of it. However, she quickly put this matter out of her mind because she found that her head hurt even more.

As expected, seclusion isn't a long-term solution. Not to mention whether the version can keep up, even the prices can't keep up! For example, five hundred taels can buy a small building in the East Realm, but in the various cities, five hundred taels can only last for ten days - and that's assuming it's all used to buy fasting pills and hemostatic grass.

This merchant saw that it was a necessity and began to raise prices crazily. Every time this happened, the residents of the city would unite as never before.

Of course, the three of them can also eat elm bark three times a day to experience the pure magic style.

Before leaving, Yun Xian was still whispering, "I think we should go find the senior brother first."

"What do you want to see Senior Brother for?" Qiao Lingshan had been with her for the past few days and could actually see the calculations behind her righteous expression. "Senior Brother Su is so cold... No, he's a steady person. Let's not bother him!"

Yun Xian: "I just want to convey Elder Jiang's words, I have no other intentions."

Qiao Lingshan: "And then you want some money to spend, right?"

"...You're overthinking it. How could I, the Young Master of the Sword Pavilion, do such a thing?" Yun Xian calmly stuffed his sword into his robe and covered it tightly. "Let's go! The early bird catches the worm. Maybe we can find something special."

Feng Ye was sleeping soundly with his zither in his arms, and neither of them went to call him. Of course, it wasn't out of any friendly feelings, but mainly because with just two or three people like him, he couldn't really make any difference - the time it took to get the zither out was enough for him to get a beating.

Disciples from other sects are coming to this city in an endless stream, bringing business opportunities as well as a lot of trouble. Some people who are unwilling to show up will post tasks in Xuanbao Pavilion, including but not limited to robbery, protection, bounty on heads, etc. Anyone who has the ability can take up the task.

Yun Xian and Qiao Lingshan mingled among the various crowds on the street, wearing grayish blue and white robes. The only thing that could identify them was the scabbard of their swords, which was hidden. They looked like two ordinary citizens passing by.

But they soon found that this was not working, because it was too normal and instead seemed very abnormal, so they reluctantly spent two taels of silver to go to the street and buy three special masks of the Demon Cult, the Bull Demon version, and helped Feng Ye put them on as well, and finally succeeded in "hiding in the city".

Finally, the two stood under the high wall inside the Xuanbao Pavilion and looked up at the densely packed yellow list above.

A few mercenaries who had just walked away from the danger of death had just left, and a very faint smell of blood lingered in the Xuanbao Pavilion. The entire space was immersed in this rusty atmosphere. People came and went, but it was surprisingly quiet.

The bounty was divided into three distinct zones: human, earth, and heaven. Qiao Lingshan was just about to start with the human level when she saw Yun Xianyi step to the edge, saying politely, "Make way, please."

In fact, both of them are relatively tall, but they still look so small under the black wings of the bald man in the front that cover the sky.

The bald elder brother had a cold face but a ruthless heart. Seeing Yun Xian and Qiao Lingshan struggling to push against his wings, he said with a look of pity, a demonic one showing to a weak human: "Can you see, little girl? I'll take you two up."

A moment later, the two sat on the tips of the wings, looking at the notice at the top that was emitting golden light.

[Reward of 100,000 taels]

[Before the war, he killed the Sword Sect leader Liu Shi and brought his head in exchange (there was an elder in the Fusion Stage beside him)]

In the lower right corner of the gold list, there is a spiritual seal belonging to Xuanbao Pavilion, which means that the authenticity has been verified and 100,000 taels have been handed over to them.

Qiao Lingshan stared and whispered, "Someone wants to kill him?"

"He can't be killed." Yun Xian also said softly: "Apart from the elder who secretly protected us, this Northern Supervisor is also from the Sword Sect, in the Spiritual Severing Stage. He is Liu Shi's grandfather."

Qiao Lingshan: "...Why don't you consider that you can't beat him even if you exclude the elders." At a quick glance that day, it seemed that Liu Shi was about to break through the Jindan stage and enter the Yuanying stage, with so many Jindan disciples following behind him.

Yun Xian remained calm and said, "Shh."

Move your eyes downwards.

[Reward of 70,000 taels]

[I wanted to exchange Master Mingguang's robes and staff, but he refused, so I had no choice but to resort to this last resort. Since the war is just around the corner, Master Mingguang will be coming with the Buddhist disciples. (Please do not harm the Master himself.)]

Qiao Lingshan: "Just strip him of his clothes? Master Mingguang is a great senior in Buddhist cultivation, how could he endure such humiliation..."

"Actually, he probably meant for us to steal it." Yun Xian pondered, "Master, you wouldn't take the staff with you when you bathe, right?"

Qiao Lingshan was shocked: "How could such a shameful thing be possible...if someone finds out, how are you going to escape?"

Yun Xian clasped his hands together and said, "I just said that I suddenly wanted to watch a monk take a bath."

Qiao Lingshan said angrily: "You might as well not say it!"

This one wouldn't work either. The Buddhists hadn't even been there yet, keeping a low profile. They had no idea where they lived. Furthermore, among all the sects, Buddhist cultivators were renowned for their proficiency in both offense and defense, both internal and external, and their exceptional unity. They rarely acted alone, so even the two of them wouldn't be able to handle them in a few blows.

So continue reading.

【Reward of 50,000 taels】

[Within three days, I will kill Zhong Changyao! ! ! ]

Yun Xian: “…………”

Qiao Lingshan: “…………”

The two people's train of thought, which had always been in completely different directions, finally came into striking agreement at this moment.

Why is Zhong Changyao's name here?

Compared to Qiao Lingshan, Yun Xianyao had more to think about. Zhong Changyao had originally been slated to represent the Eastern Realm in the war, but now, thanks to her interference, he'd missed the opportunity. However, Yun Xianyao never considered this a sure thing, and he still had a vague feeling that Zhong Changyao would arrive. He hadn't yet "shone brightly" or met his destined girl, Jimo Shu, so it was impossible for anyone in the city to know his name. The appearance of this bounty meant that at least one person here knew Zhong Changyao might come.

Although she referred to herself as "old lady," how could Yun Xian dare to assume her gender? It was possible that this was a sleight of hand to confuse people.

Who could that be?

Let's put this aside for now and read on. There are tasks like "kill Zhang San", "rob Li Si", and "escort the flower-stealing thief". Yun Xian even found a notice in there that said "A large reward is offered for the head of the master of the Xuanbao Pavilion", and he was immediately ashamed.

I don’t know whether the mysterious Pavilion Master is too careless or too confident.

After viewing the Heaven Level, the two thanked the bald elder brother and went to view the Human Level. The Human Level was even less interesting. The most rewarding task was to help the brothel madam find her beloved puppy, which cost fifty taels, just enough to buy one-tenth of a hemostatic herb.

A penny can make a hero fall.

Yun Xian was silent for a long time. Qiao Lingshan was not used to her being so quiet. She was racking her brains to think of a few words of comfort when she saw Yun Xian slowly stroking her chin again. "I realize I don't seem to know what Senior Brother looks like..."

Qiao Lingshan: "Don't worry about your senior brother!!"

She couldn't control herself and her voice suddenly rose. Everyone looked at her in surprise. The girl immediately turned red from her neck to her ears. She lowered her head and said in a cowardly manner, "Even if you saw him, you are not allowed to ask him for money!"

She originally came out to participate in the war on behalf of Jiange. Su Chi was well-known, so she didn't want to lose face. But Yun Xian seemed to have no concept of shame. Why did he treat his senior brother as a golden angel?

Before Yun Xian could reply with a few "I know, I know"s, there was a sudden and crisp sound of weapons clashing in front of Xuanbao Pavilion. Then, the door that had only been opened was forcibly kicked open, and dazzling light instantly poured in.

In the backlight, there stood an arrogant man, with the scimitar behind him licking blood and still flashing with a ferocious look.

Sword Sect, Liu Shi.

In the story, he set traps and killed all the people in the eastern border. He was also the "hero" who took the initiative to lead his troops south after the four-way war and burned down a city at the junction of the north and the east. He was exactly as the rumors said, cruel, ruthless, and arrogant.

His traps were always effective, requiring no strategy at all. Most of the disciples who participated in the war were just rookies, not yet hardened by the vicissitudes of life, so he simply captured fellow disciples and used them as bait. For example, when he severely injured Qiao Lingshan and couldn't capture Zhong Changyao, he simply crushed the weakest disciple of the Sword Sect and left him on the roadside, barely alive. Naturally, some fool would pick him up.

He didn't even blink when he casually destroyed Qiao Lingshan's spiritual roots.

Next to Liu Shi stood an old man in a black robe. His face could not be seen clearly, but from the aura around him, it could be seen that this was the elder in the fusion stage.

The Xuanbao Pavilion suddenly became so quiet that you could hear a pin drop.

"Everyone." Liu Shi seemed to enjoy the stagnant atmosphere. He smiled and said, "Please make way for me. It's not too much trouble, is it?"

There was clearly enough space between the crowd for him to slip past, yet he insisted on clearing the area and lining up to welcome him. Someone frowned, and just as they were about to move, the black-robed figure's imposing presence suddenly struck them, forcing their knees down and plopping to the ground. Cold sweat instantly covered their entire body, and blood even oozed from the corners of their mouths.

A strong man in the fusion stage is so terrifying!

Amidst heavy breathing, everyone walked silently to the side, and a few people quietly turned around and left.

Liu Shi's cold gaze swept across the silent crowd, and finally he was satisfied. He led the group and walked towards the Heavenly Ranking.

He must have come here after receiving some news. With a clear goal, he kicked off his shoes and easily jumped up. He immediately saw the bounty with his name on it at the top.

The handwriting is gentle, but the strokes are sharp.

"Oh... you're really persistent, Xue Lingxiu." Liu Shi laughed in anger. "Did you think I couldn't recognize your handwriting? You want to buy my head for 100,000 taels? Aren't you underestimating me too much?"

The black-robed man whispered in his ear, "Young Sect Master, you can go back now."

"Why go back? It's so quiet here." Liu Shi didn't reveal the wanted poster. Instead, he stared at everyone present with an ambiguous expression. He laughed again, his voice rough and hoarse: "Or perhaps, I think too highly of others, don't I?"

"This bounty has been posted for a few days, and no one is brave enough to tear it down?"

"You don't dare, or you don't have the ability. Any excuse is fine." Liu Shi actually put his scimitar on the ground and said with a smile: "If you want to kill me, come as soon as possible. Liu Shi will accompany you to the end."

The news spread very quickly in all the cities, and there were countless talented people who did not show up. He was so conceited and arrogant that he almost declared war on everyone!

After Liu Shi finished speaking, he looked at everyone, and after looking at several people in succession, they all avoided his gaze, and the pavilion became increasingly silent.

His inflated ambition was somewhat satisfied. He drew his sword and turned around, preparing to return. At this moment, he suddenly heard the clear and slow sound of the announcement being announced from behind.

Liu Shi's expression froze, and the feeling of rage at being disobeyed began to surge up little by little, rushing straight into his mind.

Interesting, really interesting. Is there really someone who wants to die?

He slowly turned his head and saw the girl wearing a bull-head mask behind him holding the yellow list that had just been torn off as if nothing had happened, her dark eyes looking at him clearly.

Female?

Just right.

Liu Shi's cruel smile deepened. He walked straight up to the man and sneered, "Since you really dare to reveal the list, how can I not help you..."

He was halfway through his words when he caught a glimpse of the contents of the yellow notice.

【Reward of 500 taels】

[Help! Five succubi take turns sucking my yang energy every night! I've become a dried-up human in just three days. Please, kindhearted people, help me...]

Bull Mask: "Huh? Really?"

Liu Shi: “?”
