Following behind Su Luo through Yecheng, a city that seemed to have been frozen in time, Yang Zijing's mind was completely blank.
The crimson flames devoured the silks within Yecheng, standing out starkly against the night sky.
And so... it begins? There wasn't even a plan. Is this the capriciousness of someone who owns a Nine-Star Upper Domain?
But where is Brother Shu?
Using his speed, he searched the entire Yecheng area but found no trace of Brother Shu. It seemed more like he wasn't hiding at all.
A smokescreen? Or did Lanshan already move everyone away?
Regardless, now that they've left Yecheng, then... Yang Zijin looked at Su Luo's seemingly unguarded back and a glint of light flashed in her eyes.
Outside Yecheng City.
The law enforcement officer's vehicle, which had arrived in a hurry, stopped in front of the city gate of Yecheng. Monsters all hate things with heat, so flames were naturally the first thing they would attack.
"Sir Enforcer, the flames are too big; we can't enter the city at all!"
The coachman, Xiao Gui, said with some lingering fear, even subconsciously leaning back. The waves of heat in front of him grew larger and larger, and he felt he would be swallowed up if he wasn't careful.
The real law enforcement officer stepped out of the carriage, looked at the crimson sunset, slammed his fist on the carriage, and rage blazed in his eyes.
"Officer, we are now..."
"Let's go back."
With everything burned like this, what kind of ghosts could possibly survive? Even if there were, it would only be in a small town. He worked so hard to get to the position of law enforcement officer; how could he possibly ruin his future for some worthless trash?
"I remember the city lord of Yecheng once sent a message saying that someone had tried to assassinate an enforcement officer, and I heard it was someone from the Spark Society."
"This..." The coachman, Xiao Gui, scratched his head, somewhat confused. "Sir Enforcer, no one is trying to assassinate you!"
"If I say it exists, it exists. From this moment on, it exists!"
Before the coachman, Xiao Gui, could even react, his body and head had already been separated. His bewildered eyes stared at the law enforcement officer before him, utterly bewildered as to why he had been killed.
Licking the blood from the tip of his knife and looking at the lifeless body on the ground, the law enforcement officer nodded in satisfaction. He then slashed his own arm to make the so-called assassination look more real.
Then, he took out his personal communicator as an enforcement officer and said weakly, "This is Yecheng. I am Enforcement Officer No. 0489. Some people from the Spark Society impersonated me and entered Yecheng in advance to attempt an assassination. The other side had a large number of people and we were not on guard. Yecheng was destroyed."
"Repeatedly, Yecheng was destroyed, and apart from me, no one survived."
...
Leaving Yecheng from another direction, Su Luo put on the hood he had taken from Yecheng, covering his conspicuous cat ears.
Without the cat ears, Su Luo now looks no different from the human form before the fall of the Abyss.
Just then, a beam of red light shot into the sky, piercing through the stars and shining brightly in the darkness.
"That's... a wanted poster for Red Leaf City?!"
Yang Zijin looked at the red light and her heart skipped a beat, as if she had a bad premonition.
Sure enough, the next second, the wanted poster emanating from the red light made Yang Zijing's face turn from green to white, then white to red, a vivid and unusual sight.
[Announcement to the entire realm! The destruction of Ye City has been confirmed to be the work of Yang Zijin, a six-star domain holder of the Starfire Society. Effective immediately, a city-wide manhunt is underway within the jurisdiction of Red Leaf Main City! A bounty of ten million is offered!]
[To reiterate, effective immediately, a city-wide manhunt is underway within the jurisdiction of Red Leaf City for Yang Zijin of the Spark Society, with a bounty of ten million!]
As the wanted notice was issued, red leaves printed with Yang Zijin's information and photo fell from the sky. Yang Zijin's face appeared in the red leaves with an eerie, lifeless look, with some basic information and the bounty price marked below.
Looking at the multi-million dollar bounty, Su Luo seemed lost in thought. Then she turned to look at Yang Zijing beside her and couldn't help but lick her lips.
A walking...million-dollar ghost money bill—it's not a huge amount, but it doesn't seem like a bad deal either...
Noticing Su Luo's gaze, Yang Zijing subconsciously took a step back, even feeling that she was being unfairly blamed...
What's going on? He only did one thing, so why is everything being blamed on him?
The fire was clearly started by the law enforcement officer in front of us, and she was the one who killed the ghost. Why is it that when we turn around, it's all his fault and he has to take the blame?
A bounty of tens of millions—this is one of the few high-level bounties issued by Red Leaf City since its establishment. I'm afraid many guilds will fight tooth and nail for this bounty!
He's merely a speed expert, only a six-star. If it were a head-on confrontation, he'd probably only be able to run!
What's more, there's such a powerful and formidable nine-star expert standing in front of him. He might not even be able to outrun him. This is really going to be the death of him!
"Wait a minute!" Sensing Su Luo's approach, Yang Zijing broke out in a cold sweat, like a weak prey chained up by a wild beast, watching him fall into a desperate situation.
A domain silently spread out, passing over Yang Zijin and encircling him from behind.
A soft gasp of shock rang out as a dark, eerie figure was trapped within Su Luo's [Time] domain.
Ghost Hunt?!
Is it a ghost hunter from this area?!
Yang Zijin turned her head and looked at the strange creature completely covered in black under its night clothes, her feelings complicated.
He didn't notice anything at all. With such a hidden ability, it's no wonder he can be a ghost hunter, specializing in hunting down those with bounties.
Whether human or criminal, once they're on the wanted list and there's a bounty, they become their target.
It must be some strange creature that happened to be nearby and just happened to run into the release of the wanted notice. You could only say that Yang Zijing was really unlucky. Su Luo raised an eyebrow but did not make a move. Instead, he looked at Yang Zijing.
