Chapter 437 Admonition
Qianyuan Island.
Zhong Cai looked at the mountain of heads piled up not far away, then at the obedient Wu Dongxiao in front of her, and her eyelids twitched.
Wu Dongxiao naturally noticed that his Uncle Zhong's expression was off, so he chuckled awkwardly.
“Uncle Zhong…” Wu Dongxiao asked dryly, “Why do you look at me like that?”
Zhong Cai didn't answer, but stared at Wu Dongxiao for a while before saying quietly, "I just want to see how audacious you are."
Wu Dongxiao: "..."
Xuan Bing, who was sitting not far away, said, "It's indeed enough to get here. Junior brother, you should listen to your uncle and stop for now."
Wu Dongxiao glanced at Zhong Cai's expression again, then looked at his senior brother, and nodded somewhat unwillingly.
Zhong Cai shook her head slightly and then gave Wu Dongxiao a hard knock on the head.
"Arrogant!"
Wu Dongxiao scratched his face, still feeling somewhat unwilling.
He then asked, "Can I still target individual cases later?"
Zhong Cai's lips twitched: "I think you don't just want to kill one person, but you also want to attract a group by killing one person, so that you can eventually achieve your goal of slaughtering them."
Xuan Bing did not say anything more about this.
Wu Dongxiao blinked again.
·
The reason why Zhong Cai and Xuan Bing are like this is mainly because Wu Dongxiao is also involved in the massacre of evil sects.
Since he accidentally and successfully used aphrodisiacs to harm the bandit stronghold, Wu Dongxiao has carefully studied the matter and figured out many ingenious uses for mixing aphrodisiacs.
Then, Wu Dongxiao skillfully used the aphrodisiac, carefully studied the area where the evil forces were located, and even carefully scouted the locations... In this way, he would take action once every half month to more than a month, and successively wiped out six more small evil forces.
That makes seven in total.
Among the smaller factions, the strongest was naturally the Palace Constructor. Wu Dongxiao carefully selected the factions, preferring those with only one or two Palace Constructors. He then used aphrodisiacs to weaken the evil path's will and fighting power, and repeatedly used other drugs...
Anyway, everything went smoothly.
So Wu Dongxiao updated the repayment notes with Zhong Cai many times.
This gave Wu Dongxiao a lot of motivation.
However, for Xuan Bing, this was already a bit too much.
In Xuan Bing's view, his junior brother had already done a lot and should stop while he was ahead.
He should not attack another faction in the future—his junior brother might encounter another great calamity because of the excessive gains he has made.
·
Zhong Cai tapped Wu Dongxiao's head again, like striking a wooden fish, and said with a kind tone, "Don't overestimate your luck. You must have been able to do that kind of thing seven times in a row thanks to Senior Xueyu Wang."
Wu Dongxiao was taken aback.
He recalled the deeds of the Snow Feather King.
Zhong Cai continued knocking and said, "I don't know if you did it on purpose or by coincidence, but every time you wanted to make a move, Senior Xueyu Wang also made a move. And his reputation is even greater. Every time he kills an evil force, it's as if he cuts a piece of flesh off the evil path. But you only make a move against a small sixth-level evil force... Senior Lin's efforts just happened to block what you did."
Wu Dongxiao's eyes widened, and he suddenly felt that maybe it really was true!
The bell was still ringing, making a loud, clanging sound.
"So don't be resentful. Senior Lin said last time that he wouldn't come again, and you succeeded once more after that, which should be your limit. If you still want to do that, there might still be a way to get out, but it might not be as smooth as before."
"Moreover, Senior Lin has brought you both convenience and trouble."
“He has now retreated into the deep mountains, and the evil sects can’t do anything about him. They are seething with anger. If you stop and just play small games like the other righteous sects, that’s fine. But if you continue to use those methods to slaughter sects, the evil sects will probably see it as a ‘deliberate slap in the face’ and might vent their anger on you.”
"Think about it, how many lives do you have to pay for this?"
"It's one thing if you're not careful, but Senior Brother Xuan has been training with you all along. When they're targeting you, do you think they'll let Senior Brother Xuan off the hook?"
"Dongxiao, think about it carefully."
Zhong Cai touched his non-existent beard and sent a telepathic message to Wu Shaogan.
【Oh, Old Wu! I'm such a kind and well-meaning uncle, always trying to give you advice!】
Wu Shaogan smiled.
【A-Cai is indeed one.】
She's much more loving than me, her uncle.
Zhong Cai then praised Wu Shaogan in return.
Old Wu is also a kind and loving uncle!
Wu Shaogan continued to smile.
【A-Cai is right.】
In truth, whether he is truly compassionate or not, does he not know himself? But in A-Cai's eyes, he is compassionate, so he must be compassionate.
·
As for Wu Dongxiao, as Zhong Cai reprimanded him, he indeed gradually showed a thoughtful expression.
Finally, he said earnestly, "Uncle Zhong, I understand. I will be extremely careful and will never provoke a group of evil forces again." He solemnly promised, "Even if I am teleported to a place very close to evil forces like the first time, I will definitely get away quickly."
Zhong Cai nodded slightly when she saw that Wu Dongxiao had indeed taken her words to heart.
"It's good that you know how to be cautious."
Zhong Cai then spoke to Xuan Bing, saying, "Thank you for keeping an eye on this kid, Senior Brother Xuan."
Xuan Bing smiled and said, "Of course."

Saint Snow Palace.
A tall, thin old man stood respectfully behind the pretty young woman, his large hands kneading her shoulders.
The girl squinted her eyes, enjoying herself; she seemed to be in a good mood.
After a long while, the thin elder said cautiously, "Xueying, Zhong Cai from the Lingxian Sect is so arrogant now, he has even killed many of the fairies in our palace. Shouldn't we teach him a lesson?"
The young girl—Old Ancestor Xueying—was alluring, her eyes filled with seductive charm, and gently waved her hand.
This means that the thin, elderly man should focus on the skill he is doing.
The tall, thin old man continued kneading, each movement precise and precise.
Old Ancestor Xueying still had a look of enjoyment on her face.
The thin, tall old man spoke again.
"These days, the younger generation is increasingly disregarding our Holy Path..."
"If Xueying were to make a move, she would surely be able to capture it with ease!"
"By then..."
Before he could finish speaking, a powerful force emanated from Elder Xueying, instantly sending the thin elder flying.
The thin, tall old man crashed to the ground, his whole body aching, and anger involuntarily rose on his face.
Although he quickly suppressed his anger, he could not hide it from the spirit of the Snow Ying Ancestor.
At this moment, Ancestor Xueying slowly stepped forward and stomped on the face of the thin old man.
She said leisurely, "You haven't even figured out how to serve people properly, and you're already trying to sow discord."
The tall, thin old man froze.
Ancestor Xueying continued, "Qiu Meng, I know you hate Wu Dongxiao to the core, and then you hate Wu Shaogan, and then Zhong Cai... Your violent aura and narrow-mindedness show that you are a good seedling for the Holy Path, which is why I took you in."
"I think you're cute, so I'll take you into my palace. What resources do you want? I think you're pleasing to my eye, so I might as well provide you with more... But you can't treat me like a fool, can you?"
The thin, tall old man, Qiu Meng, hurriedly opened his mouth, wanting to explain, and for a moment he forgot the humiliation of having his face stepped on!
However, with a slight exertion of force from Elder Xueying's feet, Qiu Meng was rendered speechless.
Old Ancestor Xueying was still sighing softly.
Clearly, she didn't want to listen to Qiu Meng at all; she only wanted to talk about herself.
Ancestor Xueying pinched her face, feeling quite comfortable, and said with a half-smile, "If Tongtian of our Holy Path makes a move, those old fogies of the Righteous Path will probably strike before we do. At that time, it will be our Holy Path that broke the agreement first, giving the Righteous Path a legitimate reason to act, and we will suffer even greater losses."
"But now it's different. As long as we, Tongtian, don't move, what does it matter how many of our descendants die? There will be a continuous stream of younger generations emerging afterward, and my Holy Path will not be cut off from its source."
Old Ancestor Xueying pressed down harder, stomping so hard that Qiu Meng felt dizzy and had a splitting headache.
"If I didn't know you were foolish and arrogant, I would have thought you were a spy sent by the righteous path!"
"However, you don't need to think about that much."
"You only need to know one thing..."
"What makes you think that I, the dignified master of the Holy Palace, would go against Zhong Cai and Wu Shaogan for the sake of something like you?"
"They are the treasures held in the palms of two level-nine powers, so what are you!"
Qiu Meng's mind was filled with Xueying Ancestor's mockery, and he was filled with resentment.
However, he still couldn't say a word.
But at this moment, he also hated the old ancestor Xueying.
This old woman, how dare she look down on him!
He vowed that one day he would teach that old woman a lesson!
Old Ancestor Xueying naturally also sensed the killing intent emanating from Qiu Meng, which was directed at her.
However, Elder Xueying did not care.
It's just a mere Qiu Meng; it doesn't really have much ability. Even if it manages to enter Nirvana, it won't have another chance.
They won't be able to cause any significant trouble.
Moreover, this guy's wish is to build a large family. After a period of time, the Qiu Meng descendant, conceived through a secret method, will be born. For the safety of this descendant, Qiu Meng will still have to diligently try to please her.
Regardless of what Qiu Meng was thinking, the more unwilling Qiu Meng was, the more interesting it became.
Once she gets tired of it, just slap her to death.

Bounty missions are ongoing.
In the years following Zhong Cai's bounty, countless heads were sent to the evil faction, causing them immense losses. Since the evil faction was originally a disorganized group, the various factions were unsure of what to do next.
It wasn't until Lin Xueyu's case drew the combined efforts of various evil factions that they gradually began to develop some rules and regulations.
Besides Tongtian, the evil forces below also mobilized a considerable number of people, finally uniting to fight against the righteous cultivators.
At the same time, if a weak evil sect fails to conceal itself properly, it will hide even more deeply under the protection of other evil sects.
The number of heretical practitioners that can be caught is decreasing.
With the existence of the Evil Alliance, even if some righteous cultivators wanted to join forces to eliminate small evil forces, it would be very difficult for them to do so.
The counterattack of the evil path can also be very powerful.
Many righteous cultivators, envious of the gains of their fellow practitioners, also took action against those who followed the evil path.
Whether in the early days or later, the number of righteous cultivators who died at the hands of evil forces for this cause was indeed quite large.
But the resources gained from each kill are substantial. If the evil path weren't dangerous enough, why would they offer such a high bounty?
He overestimated his abilities and went to his death; he has no one to blame but himself.
In the following years, fewer and fewer cultivators were able to send their heads.
More than 90% of the resources on the list were redeemed long ago, leaving only a few items.
·
During this time, Wu Dongxiao broke through a minor realm, and his strength increased once again.
Over the years, he indeed only dealt with isolated heretics alone. Even when he happened to encounter enough low-level heretics, he refrained from attacking them.
Perhaps he really did find the right method, because Wu Dongxiao was lucky enough to avoid several crises in advance!
For example, the instant after he left, a Nirvana heretic happened to be "patrolling" this area... If he really went to harvest the lives of those low-level heretics, he would be caught red-handed by this Nirvana heretic.
·
After breaking through to a higher realm, Wu Dongxiao even sought out the second-ranked player on the Sky Ranking for a duel, and returned victorious.
Although Wu Dongxiao did not immediately challenge the current top-ranked player, the top-ranked player was very concerned about Wu Dongxiao—after all, the top-ranked player had once lost to Xuan Bing, and Xuan Bing and Wu Dongxiao were very close fellow disciples.
The top-ranked fighter witnessed the battle between Wu Dongxiao and the second-ranked fighter and sensed an immense crisis, far greater than the threat Xuan Bing had posed to him before. Looking at Wu Dongxiao's current level of skill and combat prowess, he even surpassed Xuan Bing.
However, given his pride as the top player, he wouldn't actively challenge Wu Dongxiao. Instead, he would continue to hone his skills and wait for the day he could face Wu Dongxiao in battle.
·
Gradually, ten years passed.
Zhong Cai's skill level has also made a breakthrough.
He became a cultivator in the mid-stage of the Palace Construct realm. With the increase in strength, his ability to improve his seventh-level alchemy skills was also greatly enhanced.
It was at this point that the bounty was finally lifted.
The list has long been completely redeemed.
