Protagonist:

Yu Zhangsheng

That spirit beast was finally attracted by Yu Zhangsheng's pill, fell into the trap pit, and was ultimately captured by Yu Zhangsheng.

Yu Zhangsheng was instantly overjoyed; having waited for so long, it had finally taken the bait.

Yu Zhangsheng immediately leapt out from his ambush spot, covered the distance in a few quick strides, and brought the spirit beast under control.

This was a spirit beast resembling a rhinoceros, but compared to one its build was more agile, not so heavy.

Yu Zhangsheng looked at it and felt this spirit beast should be quite suitable; after exhausting its stamina, he directly mounted it.

This rhinoceros spirit beast initially resisted fiercely, but after struggling in vain it ultimately chose to submit.

It was also forced to accept the existence on its back, standing there motionless.

Yu Zhangsheng also took out some stamina-recovery pills and fed them to it.

That rhinoceros spirit beast was at first extremely frightened and unwilling to eat what Yu Zhangsheng offered.

But after sensing the fragrance emanating from the pill, it ultimately could not resist the temptation and ate it.

Perceiving the benefits of this pill, the rhinoceros spirit beast also began to be less resistant toward Yu Zhangsheng.

It started to become merely somewhat vigilant.

Yu Zhangsheng sat on it, clamped his legs to urge it forward.

That rhinoceros spirit beast, though a little reluctant, still walked forward, and finally began to gallop in a certain direction.

Its speed was even a bit faster than Yu Zhangsheng's own.

Wang Mie and Chen Xueqing exchanged a glance behind them; Chen Xueqing smiled lightly: "Didn't expect he actually found a suitable mount; that's no easy feat."

Wang Mie snorted disdainfully: "What use is it? Given the slightest chance, that spirit beast will still escape; then he'll have wasted all his effort for nothing."

"With the time he's delayed us this long, we might have already reached the next zone."

While the two were still talking, Yu Zhangsheng ahead suddenly turned back, his complexion not looking good.

"Traces of some people were discovered up ahead; they're heading our way."

Wang Mie's complexion changed at once: "What people?"

Yu Zhangsheng said: "Can't see too clearly, but in a place like this it's most likely people of the Da Sheng Clan."

Hearing it was Da Sheng Clan people, Wang Mie's mood relaxed considerably, but he still said: "Our current situation isn't suitable for a head-on clash with them."

"Better to hide first if we can."

Yu Zhangsheng also thought that made sense; the three had just prepared to find a place to hide.

But unexpectedly those people arrived very quickly; upon noticing the three's figures, they immediately accelerated toward this spot.

Wang Mie frowned: "Looks like the other party is coming straight for us."

Chen Xueqing asked: "Then what should we do? There's no way to hide now."

"End it quickly, don't drag it out."

Yu Zhangsheng took the lead, directly riding the rhinoceros spirit beast to charge over; with this rhinoceros spirit beast's enhancement, not to mention anything else, the imposing momentum appeared even more formidable.

Those Da Sheng Clan people, seeing such a strange sight, couldn't help but exclaim in surprise.

But the next second what greeted them was Yu Zhangsheng's Sword Qi.

In just a single exchange, one was instantly killed by Yu Zhangsheng.

Only then did the others react to how formidable the enemy's strength truly was.

"Immediately send a signal talisman for help!"

Before that person's hand could even be raised, a silk ribbon directly coiled around it.

Immediately after, a golden long spear pierced through his chest.

The sound in his mouth hadn't fully come out before this person had already met his end in the Yellow Springs.

The remaining few, seeing this, instantly panicked and began to scatter and flee.

Yu Zhangsheng and the other two also immediately gave chase in different directions.

In just a short moment, they killed seven or eight out of ten of these people.

Two survivors were left for interrogation.

Wang Mie kicked one of those on the ground, knocking him down.

The golden long spear in his hand pressed directly against that person's cheek as he questioned: "Who are you? Why did you attack us?"

That person hurriedly begged for mercy: "Spare me, Eldest Young Master, spare me! We are people of the Da Sheng Clan."

"We also didn't intend to make a move on you few; we just came to ask you few about a few people's whereabouts."

Wang Mie's gaze sharpened; he asked: "Ask about whom?"

That person immediately said: "Right now the Da Sheng Clan is hunting a man named Yu Zhangsheng; whoever finds him gets a heavy reward."

"We also just wanted to ask you few, to see if we could get lucky."

Wang Mie couldn't help but look at Yu Zhangsheng, his eyes seemingly asking what do you think? Yu Zhangsheng also laughed; didn't expect these guys searching for someone would inquire of the person himself — quite a joke.

What merely puzzled Yu Zhangsheng was that these people clearly didn't recognize him, yet they ran around everywhere asking — wasn't that a joke?

Moreover, why would the Da Sheng Clan suddenly issue a warrant for him?

"When did the Da Sheng Clan start hunting that Yu Zhangsheng? Is there any reason?"

That person shook his head: "The specific situation I'm not too clear on either."

"Only know it was an order sent down from the Elders above; as long as Yu Zhangsheng's traces are found, there's a huge reward."

Yu Zhangsheng asked: "Since that's the case, do you know that Yu Zhangsheng?"

The man shook his head again: "I don't know him."

"If you don't know him, who are you looking for?"

"Originally, this could only be a matter of luck, so naturally we just ask anyone we meet."

Wang Mie coldly laughed: "Aren't you afraid of actually meeting Yu Zhangsheng, and he takes your lives?"

The man bitterly smiled: "This Secret Realm is so vast, how could our luck be that bad?"

Chen Xueqing couldn't help but cover her mouth and laugh: "Then don't you want to know our identities?"

The man looked doubtful: "Could it be that you are not from the Da Sheng Clan?"

Yu Zhangsheng crossed his arms and introduced himself: "I am unworthy, and I am indeed that Yu Zhangsheng."

"What?"

The man immediately looked at Yu Zhangsheng as if seeing a ghost, his expression extremely terrified.

Stuttering, he looked at Yu Zhangsheng: "You, you are, Yu, Yu Zhangsheng?"

Yu Zhangsheng looked at him playfully: "Correct, indeed!"

"Weren't you trying to issue a warrant for me? I am right in front of you, yet you don't recognize me, so what warrant are you issuing?"

"Exactly who told you to find me?"

The man hurriedly knelt on the Earth and kowtowed: "I am only following orders, how would I know these things?"

"You Adults are generous, spare us, we absolutely dare not expose your whereabouts, otherwise may we be struck by lightning and thunder."

Regarding these Commitments, Yu Zhangsheng naturally treated them as wind in the ears and could not possibly believe them.

Wang Mie looked at Yu Zhangsheng: "Could it be that Ying Lao San's group didn't die, and spread the news that you killed the Da Sheng Fierce Eagle, thus issuing a warrant for you?"

Yu Zhangsheng shrugged: "How would I know? But since they attacked me, dealing with them causes me no psychological burden."

"From now on, whenever we meet people from the Da Sheng Clan, we can attack directly without any nonsense."

Wang Mie said: "It's just that we are currently deep in the Belly of the Da Sheng Clan's sphere of influence, and it's not easy to want to leave and return to the entrance of the Secret Realm." Yu Zhangsheng pointed at the man not far away, who was still crying and begging for mercy there.

"Just look at them; the people the Da Sheng Clan sent to this Secret Realm are of uneven levels, and many don't even recognize me, so what is there to fear?"

"As long as we don't panic, they can do nothing to us."

"In short, before the situation becomes particularly Crisis, leaving as soon as possible is the best policy."

Wang Mie asked: "What about those few people?"

Yu Zhangsheng's eyes held killing intent; since the Da Sheng Clan attacked him first, killing these few people was justified.

However, he had another method.

"Killing them is naturally satisfying, but if we can make use of them, it might not be a bad thing."

Wang Mie asked: "Do you want them to bring back wrong information?"

"I'm afraid the people of the Da Sheng Clan might not believe it, right?"

Yu Zhangsheng's Intent was naturally very obvious; even Wang Mie could see at a glance that the people of the Da Sheng Clan are not fools and could naturally guess it.

Yu Zhangsheng smiled: "Trying it is harmless; just making them unable to figure out the situation is more beneficial to us."

Wang Mie thought so too and nodded in agreement.

Yu Zhangsheng immediately came before the man: "I can let you leave, depending on what conditions you can offer."

The man was overjoyed and immediately said: "Everything on me can be given to you, please let me go."

Yu Zhangsheng coldly hummed: "Killing you, I can still wait for it; why waste this effort?"

The man said: "There is one thing; if I don't say it, you cannot use it."

"Oh?"

Yu Zhangsheng was slightly stunned and immediately asked about the situation of that thing.

The man had to explain: "This item is a treasure I accidentally obtained in the Secret Realm; I named it Killing Intent Stone, and this item can Perceive killing intent! Once killing intent appears around it, it will heat up."

"There is such a thing? Take it out and let me see."

The man said: "What you said before, does it count?"

Yu Zhangsheng smiled: "Alright, where is the thing? Tell me and I will let you go."

The man gritted his teeth but still refused to speak.

Seeing this, Yu Zhangsheng directly untied him and lifted the Forbidden Restriction on his body.

He said: "You go to a place you think is Relatively Safe and tell me; that should be fine, right?"

The man finally relaxed and threw his Storage Bag to Yu Zhangsheng.

"The thing is inside, right?"

After Yu Zhangsheng received it, he searched inside for a while; most were ordinary materials, not very precious, could only be said to be better than nothing.

But a heart-like thing inside definitely attracted Yu Zhangsheng's attention.

After Yu Zhangsheng took it out, he held it in his palm.

This thing originally should have been a heart or something; it is estimated to be the hope of some Spirit Beast, and its surface is completely air-dried.

Yu Zhangsheng asked: "Is this the thing?"

"Yes, this thing. It is rumored to be formed after the death of a Spirit Beast that can naturally Perceive hostility; it is extremely rare."

"One that can be preserved so completely is even rarer."

Yu Zhangsheng asked: "How is this item used?"

The man looked at Yu Zhangsheng, retreated to a few Relatively Safe Locations before saying: "Just borrow mana to activate the heartbeat; once it Perceives killing intent, it will naturally react."

Yu Zhangsheng held the heart in his hand; Regretfully, he could not test the effect of this item now, otherwise he really wanted to try if falling down is really that amazing.

"Alright, you can leave."

That man was overjoyed, turned, and ran off.

As for the other few people, Yu Changsheng simply released them all together; releasing one was releasing, releasing a group was also releasing.

Only before they left, he plundered everything on their persons clean.

However, before these people had gone far, Yu Changsheng and the others also departed in another direction.

Deliberately leaving tracks for these people — this was naturally Yu Changsheng's purpose.

It was to make the pursuers who would come later deliberately think that Yu Changsheng and the others had fled in this direction.

Actually, after Yu Changsheng had gone far, he immediately turned back and left in yet another direction.

After several days of formation.

The three people had already grown increasingly close to the entrance.

However, the closer they got to here, the more Da Sheng Clan people they encountered on the road instead.

The few people had been vigilant all along the way, so up to now they had still not been discovered; basically they always detected the other side in advance, then immediately hid.

The only time they could not hide, they also immediately acted and finished off the other party cleanly, destroying the corpse and wiping out the traces.

Not leaving a single shred of trace.

At this moment, the three people were also hiding in a mountain cave temporarily resting.

Although after several days of travel, the physical exertion for the three people was not particularly huge, still far from reaching the limit.

But at this kind of time, the three people all dared not consume their physical strength too cleanly.

Wang Mie lit the firewood, roasted the dried meat in his hand, "Currently it looks like the Da Sheng Clan's blockade in this vicinity is becoming increasingly strict."

"Are you sure your method really worked?"

Yu Changsheng divided the dry rations in his hand in two, propped some dried meat among them, roasted briefly until a faint meat fragrance emerged, then took a bite.

"Does success or failure still matter? Regardless of whether it worked or not, clearly we have already arrived at the area where the Da Sheng Clan's power is most strict."

"As long as we get past this area, the road behind will be comparatively easier."

Chen Xueqing drank a mouthful of tea water, easing her tense mood somewhat.

"No matter how you put it, the most difficult part has already been passed."

The three people simply recuperated for a day; the next day, taking advantage of the night color gradually dimming, the three people set out once again, advancing toward the originally planned direction.

Yu Changsheng estimated that as long as it took less than three days' time, they could arrive at the Dead Wind Canyon's location.

By then the distance to the exit would already be within arm's reach.

In a settlement.

Piece after piece of intelligence was sent to this place from four directions; those disciples responsible for transmitting intelligence came fast, and would leave even faster.

The entire settlement was like a beehive operating simultaneously and smashed to pieces.

And in the very center of this settlement was this place's most core area; all intelligence also converged here entirely.

Inside the tent.

Lin Tianhao sat upright in the very center; beside him, the elder Da Sheng Dikui wore a troubled expression.

"Da Sheng Dikui, I have already given you enough time to prepare; what is the result? How do you answer me?"

"It has come to now, and you actually haven't found even a trace of a person."

"The only bit of news was still deliberately released by someone else for you."

"Could it be that all of you Da Sheng Clan people are good-for-nothings?" (Chapter End)
