Chapter 217

"As long as we can capture and kill Ji Fuyao, we can directly obtain all of her memory images."

A gleam of light flashed in the eyes of many elders.

Azure Origin Stone!

This object is engraved with the Extinction Sect's unique Dao patterns; it will surely absorb memory influences, and can only be opened by secret arts—if forcibly broken, the Azure Origin Stone will self-annihilate.

The Extinction Old Man looked at a gray-robed elder and said, "Elder Qianyin, you are responsible for circulating the Azure Origin Stone outside the forbidden zone. At the same time, issue the Extinction Sect's death order!"

Elder Qianyin nodded, "Good."

The Extinction Old Man said in a deep voice.

"This time, I will issue a heaven-shaking bounty, targeting only the Great Dao Sect's Xuan Qing Feng!"

"Although the White-Robed Great Emperor now holds great power in Nan Huang, under a heavy bounty there will surely be brave ones!"

"When the bounty offers only a One-Star Emperor Realm opportunity, someone will stir; when it offers a High-Star Emperor Realm opportunity, there will be those in Nan Huang who dare to take risks; when it offers a Nine-Star Great Emperor opportunity, they will dare to ignore the White-Robed Great Emperor's existence; when it offers a Half-step Venerable opportunity, they will become assassins!"

The voice fell!

Numerous elders were utterly shocked.

Obviously, the Extinction Old Man wants to offer a Half-step Venerable opportunity as bounty!

This will surely cause an explosion across the provinces of Nan Huang!

Elder Qianyin immediately covertly contacted other forces supported by Nan Huang, released the news through major merchant guilds, and caused a large amount of Azure Origin Stone to flow out.

Within a day, the Extinction Sect's bounty order caused a sensation throughout Nan Huang.

All major merchant guilds in the provinces vied to post the news, using spirit patterns to condense form, evolving into huge lists atop their pavilions.

"Bounty on the White-Robed Great Emperor's head: a Half-step Venerable opportunity!"

"Bounty on Ji Fuyao's head: a Half-step Venerable opportunity!"

"Bounty on Ye Chen's head: a One-Star Great Emperor opportunity!"

"Bounty on Chen Zhangsheng's head: a Profound Venerable Realm opportunity!"

"Bounty on Lu Xuan's head: one low-grade spirit stone!"

There is also a condition: when killing the members of Xuan Qing Feng, one must use the Extinction Sect's Azure Origin Stone to seize their memory images.

All cultivators, whether human, other races, or demons, were extremely excited.

The Extinction Sect, worthy of being a major power in the Ancient Desolate Forbidden Zone, is now locked in a death feud with the Great Dao Sect!

They directly placed a bounty on everyone of Xuan Qing Feng and issued a death order!

Everyone exclaimed in astonishment, "A Half-step Venerable opportunity—truly a grand gesture!"

"Once obtained, a Nine-Star Great Emperor can directly step into the Half-step Venerable realm!"

"This time, even the White-Robed Great Emperor has been placed under bounty!"

People looked at the list; others could risk their lives to act, but the bounty on the White-Robed Great Emperor was truly too thorny!

Who in Nan Huang now dares to act against the White-Robed Great Emperor?

Probably only those former supreme-level powers have the confidence!

Obviously, among this bounty list, Ji Fuyao's reward is the easiest to obtain; crucially, as the White-Robed Great Emperor's chief disciple, her bounty is actually also a Half-step Venerable opportunity!

People turned their gaze to the bottom of the list, pointing at Lu Xuan's bounty and laughing until they bent forward and backward.

One low-grade spirit stone?

Anyone who goes to kill Lu Xuan will definitely be making a loss-making deal!

This isn't even enough to cover the spirit boat's consumption when crossing the void; they'd have to fork over a large amount of top-grade spirit stones!

Everyone laughed loudly, "Lu Xuan's bounty is just filler! I never expected his fame to reach even the giants of the Ancient Desolate Forbidden Zone. Hahahaha!"

For a moment, the strong ones of all provinces boiled over.

This bounty is too tempting.

However, the White-Robed Great Emperor once declared to the provinces that if anyone dares to bully the weak with strength, he will surely kill them.

This made people somewhat hesitant.

But the Half-step Venerable opportunity truly moves hearts, making it worth their risk!

If they kill Ji Fuyao and manage to evade the White-Robed Great Emperor's killing intent, their faction will surely flourish!

Once this bounty order was issued, undercurrents surged throughout the provinces.

Coincidentally, Ji Fuyao is currently outside the Great Dao Sect, slaughtering a branch of the Tianluo Hall.

This is simply a perfect opportunity!

Opportunity must not be lost; time will not come again!

Faced with such a heaven-defying bounty, they can take a gamble!

In the shadows, some forces have already begun preparations, while others are still watching, waiting to act.

……

Supreme Mystery Sect.

Yuan Qingzi was giving Nan Gong Bai Xue, Chu Yuan, and others a Great Emperor Dao-pattern baptism; upon hearing this bounty, the corners of his mouth slightly rose.

"Excellent. Once this bounty is out, those going to assault Ji Fuyao and Ye Chen will come in an endless stream! The Extinction Old Man's move of borrowing a knife to kill is truly high!"

Sect Leader Wei Qianhan gazed deeply, "Not only that, the Extinction Old Man is giving the Great Dao Sect enemies! Truly a case of one stone, two birds! This is a bright scheme!"

Yuan Qingzi stroked his beard and smiled, "Not bad! Although the Extinction Sect cannot now step out of the Ancient Desolate Forbidden Zone, the Great Dao Sect likewise dares not enter the forbidden zone. In the future, the Great Dao Sect will continually make enemies on all sides, eventually offending many great powers of Nan Huang."

Sect Leader Wei Qianhan's mood instantly improved greatly.

……

Medicine Family.

Within the Guilt Valley, Medicine Bai Li stealthily entered and informed Medicine Liu Li of this news.

Yao Liuli's eyes showed a worried expression, "Ye Chen, what should we do? The bounty for a One-star Emperor Realm will definitely draw large numbers of Saint Kings, Half Emperors, and Quasi-Emperors rushing to take the risk."

Yao Bai Li comforted, "Ye Chen should be fine. After all, Ye Chen is still in the Great Dao Sect, and furthermore, to seize this chance to become Emperor, offending the White-robed Great Emperor is truly unwise."

Yao Liuli's delicate body trembled, "Hope so."

Not long after.

Yao Bai Li returned to the Yao family hall.

Old Ancestor Yao Quan issued a secret order, letting the Yao family's Emperors and death warriors act against Ji Fuyao.

Yao Bai Li was stunned, "Old Ancestor, think twice before acting!"

Old Ancestor Yao Quan scolded, "Shut up!"

……

Great Dao Sect, Xuan Qing Feng.

Lu Xuan was eating with Chen Zhangsheng, Ye Chen at the stone table.

Chen Zhangsheng told Lu Xuan and Ye Chen the bounty from the Extinction Sect.

Lu Xuan blinked slightly, "Ah? My head is only worth a low-grade spirit stone?"

Ye Chen wondered, "Why is Senior Sister's bounty a half-step Venerable opportunity? I only have the chance to become Emperor?"

Chen Zhangsheng looked bewildered.

This probably isn't the point, right?

Should we be worrying about Senior Sister's safety now?

Chen Zhangsheng looked at Lu Xuan and asked, "Master, why not bring Senior Sister back first? Even if the Heavenly Net Hall branch isn't destroyed, it's fine."

This is a half-step Venerable bounty!

There will definitely be many outlaws coming to kill Senior Sister!

Lu Xuan wore a calm look, "It's just a trifling bounty. I've been watching Fuyao; if a Two-star Emperor acts, or a Three-star Emperor acts, I won't intervene. But if a high-star Emperor acts, I will surely kill them!"

Ye Chen felt excited, "This is a life-and-death battle! Master, I also want to leave the Great Dao Sect to train in life-and-death desperation!"

Chen Zhangsheng: "???"

He was completely dumbfounded.

Lu Xuan gave a faint smile, "If you want to go outside the Great Dao Sect, wait until after the Emperor's Dao pattern baptism; by then you should have entered the Mystic Saint realm, perfect for a round of training."

Ye Chen nodded excitedly.

Chen Zhangsheng stared dumbfounded.

Lu Xuan patted Chen Zhangsheng's shoulder and smiled, "Old Three, we're safe now! Even if we leave the Great Dao Sect and get recognized, probably no one will bother us."

Chen Zhangsheng was actually speechless.

……

Chen Prefecture.

Ji Fuyao floated in a Huo Se Chang Qun, holding an imperial weapon; her heaven-splitting spear instantly killed a Half Emperor.

Swish!

Fresh blood splattered!

The spear like a dragon, the heavens and earth sway as the world roams, the moon like a hook, amidst the cold light bursts forth crimson blood light.

After the time to burn an incense stick.

Ji Fuyao led her forces to destroy the Chen Prefecture Heavenly Net Hall branch.

On the ground, blood flowed like rivers, bleeding bodies floated.

Ji Fuyao ordered Wang Man and Qing Yan, among others, to gather the cultivation resources of this place's Heavenly Net Hall branch.

Wang Man and the others bowed respectfully, "Yes, sir!"

Just then.

Ji Fuyao's beautiful eyes slightly furrowed, a hint of gravity appeared on her stunning face; she sensed that among the many forces originally aiding in battle, a faint killing intent suddenly emerged.

Hmm?

She was puzzled.

What is happening?

Suddenly, a grey-robed Saint King realm cultivator shot out, looking at Ji Fuyao.

"Fuyao Empress, I challenge you to a life-and-death duel at the Saint King realm, neither of us will use imperial weapons; do you dare to fight?"
