Chapter 361: A Sky-High Bounty, the Demonic Cultivators Have All Gone Mad!

There was not a trace of the joy that should have come from easily defeating a few demonic cultivators on Situ Chengdao's face!

"Brother Bai, things have gotten a bit serious!"

"That bitch Hehuan Shangren hates you even more than I had estimated!"

"I just killed those few demonic cultivators, and my Mental Power detected that many Second Step demonic cultivators are heading in our direction! Damn it, Hehuan Shangren must have offered them a sky-high bounty!"

There were even more experts!

If Ye Bai and Situ Chengdao continued to stay here, the only outcome would be falling into an encirclement!

"Run!"

Because of this, Ye Bai could no longer concern himself with Situ Chengdao's astonishing battle record; without another word, he started to flee!

Along the way, it was the kind where the Four Saints and Situ Chengdao's various methods were applied one after another!

……

Half a day later.

Still within the endless Wilderness.

Inside a mountain cave.

Ye Bai and Situ Chengdao had temporarily shaken off their pursuers.

However, at this moment, their expressions remained grim!

"Brother Bai, what do you say?"

Situ Chengdao asked, his tone heavy.

"Brother Situ, we cannot continue to Feilong City."

"If we keep heading that way, I will be harming those friends of mine!"

Ye Bai said.

After a moment of contemplation, he even said:

"Brother Situ, why don't we split up?"

"You know the current situation; if we split up, both you and I will be much safer."

Yet, in the past half day, Ye Bai and Situ Chengdao had not just been fleeing.

There were too many demonic cultivators looking for them, unlike before, when they wouldn't see a soul even after running for a whole day.

During this time, Ye Bai had used the ability of Wensheng to gather a little information.

And then he learned of Hehuan Shangren's grand gesture!

That Third Step Great Demonic Cultivator, indeed because he was a City Lord and did not know the direction in which Ye Bai and Situ Chengdao were fleeing, had not continued the pursuit himself.

Instead, he had announced to the entire Southern Region a bounty sufficient to drive any Second Step demonic cultivator mad, and one that would even tempt a Third Step demonic cultivator to not mind capturing the two and sending them back to Moyuan City if they happened to run into them!

Hehuan Shangren promised that anyone who provided clues about Ye Bai and his companion would enjoy countless resources, could serve as a high-ranking official in Moyuan City, and would be under the protection of Hehuan Shangren for all eternity!

If one captured Ye Bai, they could designate themselves or another Second Step demonic cultivator, and Hehuan Shangren would pay a great price to help that demonic cultivator improve their strength by at least one stage! They would also become a Vice City Lord of Moyuan City, enjoying power second only to one and above ten thousand!

"Now, the demonic cultivators of the entire Southern Region are looking for us..."

Ye Bai finally said, without the slightest exaggeration!

"No!"

Situ Chengdao refused.

"Brother Bai, it's not that I don't think what you said makes sense this time."

"But if I am not here, how many times can you escape the pursuit of those demonic cultivators?"

"You are only at the First Step Mortal Realm; even if you can erupt with speed comparable to the Second Step Second Stage, you must know that in just the past half day, we have encountered several demonic cultivators at the Second Step Peak alone!"

"This..." Ye Bai was both conflicted and helpless.

The bounty mentioned by Hehuan Shangren, which could help a Second Step demonic cultivator improve their strength, also included the Second Step Peak Realm.

That is to say, even if someone asked Hehuan Shangren to help them reach the Fusion Dao realm, Hehuan Shangren would agree!

Because of this, it had flushed out many demonic cultivators who had originally been disheartened and living in quiet seclusion, as well as those old monsters whose lifespans were coming to an end and who had originally only considered themselves as the final trump card for a major power!

Without the various peerless acupuncture methods provided by Situ Chengdao for amplification, even with the Four Saints' support—and even though the Four Saints were already at the Second Step—Ye Bai truly could not flee for very long...

"If only I were also a Second Step cultivator..."

Ye Bai even thought to himself.

If he had reached the Second Step, he wouldn't need to trouble Situ Chengdao, and with the Four Saints occasionally taking action, he could ensure he wouldn't be caught.

Alas, he did not possess the astonishing talent of the Four Saints or Situ Chengdao; he only had persistence and hard work, and while exploiting bugs to level up required time, time was exactly what he lacked most right now.

However.

Just as Situ Chengdao refused to split up with Ye Bai, and the two were at their wits' end.

"Immortal Master, can we really become immortals too?"

A voice was suddenly captured by Situ Chengdao's Mental Power!

Within the range covered by his Mental Power, a group of people had just suddenly appeared, led by two individuals clearly dressed as demonic cultivators!

"Of course you can. Don't forget, we have already checked your talent; you are all people with outstanding natural gifts. After coming to our Tianren Sect, as long as you work diligently, you won't be any worse than us in the future!"

One of the demonic cultivators said.

"But, but we come from humble backgrounds..."

"Hehe, you don't know this, but our Tianren Sect never looks at background, only at talent!"

"As long as your talent is good, you can be an Inner Sect Disciple the moment you enter, and the resources you can receive every week will be more than what outside cultivators get in a year!"

"But if your talent is bad, even if you are the Sect Master's son, you won't even be able to step through the gates of the Tianren Sect!"

A young boy asked, and the other demonic cultivator replied!

"Then, isn't that very fair?" another young girl said.

"Of course!

If it weren't fair, how could our Tianren Sect have grown from an unknown sect into the most powerful sect within the territory of Huangji City in just a few hundred years?"

The two demonic cultivators said even more proudly.

Listening to their conversation, Situ Chengdao was shocked that in the Southern Region, where demonic cultivators were everywhere, there could actually be such a sect that valued fairness and justice?

But the world is vast and full of wonders, and they were currently facing a crisis, at a juncture where they urgently needed a way to survive.

Very quickly, an idea popped up.

"Brother Bai..." Situ Chengdao first told Ye Bai about the group of people.

"Brother Situ, you mean we should conceal our strength, and at the same time, you use one of your unique needle techniques to change our appearances, then sneak into that so-called Tianren Sect as disciples?"

Ye Bai quickly understood Situ Chengdao's idea.

"That's right, Brother Bai, think about it: there are Second Step demonic cultivators looking for us everywhere now; if we continue to flee, we will be found sooner or later.

In this situation, it is also nonsense to think we can escape the Southern Region and head to other realms."

"Since that's the case, why don't we seize this opportunity and sneak into that so-called Tianren Sect? Presumably, neither Hehuan Shangren nor those demonic cultivators could possibly guess that we have actually become disciples of a sect in the Demonic Cultivator Realm, right?"

Situ Chengdao's eyes were burning bright.

The more he spoke, the more feasible he felt it was!

The Xuanyuan World has no precise method to distinguish between natives and humans from the lower realms.

The reason Ye Bai and Situ Chengdao were exposed was, one, because they used Mental Power, and two, because they hadn't mastered many Xuanyuan World languages!

However, Ye Bai has now mastered over ten thousand of the more mainstream languages of the Xuanyuan World; as long as Ye Bai spends some time teaching them to Situ Chengdao, and with the two of them changing their appearances to become two of those youths, who would suspect them?

"It's not... impossible..."

After listening and thinking it over, Ye Bai finally agreed to Situ Chengdao's suggestion...
