[Ding, you have rewarded your disciple Dugu Aotian with the twelfth-grade refining material “Yan Stone” and obtained the reward of ten-thousand-fold return: the fourteenth-grade refining material “Separation Fire Divine Light Stone”.]
Lu Changsheng obtained the Separation Fire Divine Light Stone, which was even rarer than the Yan Stone.
All these were materials for refining Ultimate Treasures and Holy Artifacts.
Yan Stone was a twelfth-grade refining material, priceless as cities, the key being that Unparalleled City could produce Yan Stone in bulk, which was why Unparalleled City could dominate one side.
Lu Changsheng could slowly reward this batch of Yan Stone.
The Elders of Unparalleled City gathered at the City Lord’s Mansion, numbering several dozens.
After all, the former City Lord of Unparalleled was a Half-Step Great Luo Golden Immortal. A sect founded by a Half-Step Great Luo Golden Immortal that occupied a vein producing Yan Stone and Immortal Stones, attracted over a hundred Loose Immortals to join Unparalleled City.
The Green Ox King had taken over Unparalleled City, killing half of the Loose Immortals, leaving the other half.
Upon seeing Lu Changsheng, these Elders glanced at each other and then, in unison, bowed with clasped hands: “We thank the new City Lord for his lifesaving grace!”
New City Lord?
Lu Changsheng was stunned; the City Lord of Unparalleled had been killed by the Green Ox King, and Unparalleled City was headless, so they simply acknowledged Lu Changsheng as the new City Lord.
“I was just passing by and saw the Green Ox King harming the area, so I acted to eliminate the demon. I have no intention of taking control of Unparalleled City. You all should elect a new City Lord yourselves.”
Lu Changsheng truly had little interest in becoming the City Lord of Unparalleled.
The Yan Stone produced by Unparalleled City was dispensable to Lu Changsheng.
Most importantly, the Green Ox King was the nephew of the King of Chaos. If the King of Chaos found out that the Green Ox King had been killed by him, he would certainly seek revenge.
This was not a place to stay for long.
The King of Chaos was far more powerful than the Green Ox King, a true Daluo Golden Immortal, and moreover a Daluo Golden Immortal with wide connections and tremendous strength.
Once the King of Chaos descended upon Unparalleled City, the entire city would crumble to the ground.
If Lu Changsheng stayed in Unparalleled City, it would only harm the cultivators and mortals of the city.
Lu Changsheng had saved the million human cultivators of Unparalleled City and had executed a group of demons, earning a great merit. The Heavenly Earth Mystical Yellow Exquisite Pagoda had now grown to a nineteen-layer Mysterious Yellow Pagoda, and his goal had thus been achieved.
The Elders of Unparalleled City looked at each other, surprised that Lu Changsheng had no interest in taking over Unparalleled City.
Accumulated Thunder Mountain, shrouded with dense thunderclouds, with lightning flashing and thunder crashing, a place where no Great Demon dared to enter.
A Cow Demon, riding on black clouds, rushed hurriedly into Accumulated Thunder Mountain.
In the grand hall of Accumulated Thunder Mountain, the King of Chaos, Nine Spirits King, Golden Feather King, and other seven Demon Kings were indulging in drinking and feasting on a lavish banquet.
The aura of these seven Demon Kings was extremely terrifying, causing the mountains to tremble.
The Cow Demon arrived at the grand hall and conveyed the news about the Green Ox King to the King of Chaos via telepathy.
The King of Chaos’s face twisted ferociously, his bronze liquor cup turning to powder in his hand.
The other six Demon Kings were astonished, all turning their gaze to the King of Chaos who was behaving unusually.
Nine Spirits King spoke, “What has happened?”
The King of Chaos’s eyes flashed fiercely, “Someone has killed my nephew.”
“Such audacity, to even kill the nephew of our brother!”
The six Demon Kings’ eyes became stern.
Experience new tales on M-V-L
The Green Ox King was the nephew whom the King of Chaos valued the most, treating him as if he were his own, and had even awarded him the highest grade Ultimate Treasure golden bracelet. They were shocked that someone had killed the Green Ox King.
Nine Spirits King put down his liquor cup, “Do we have a portrait of this person? We brothers will help keep an eye out for him and capture and kill him as soon as we find him.”
The King of Chaos signaled with his eyes, and the Cow Demon extended its hand, with True Qi manifesting a portrait of Lu Changsheng.
The nine lion heads of the Nine Spirits King widened their eyes.
This person, it seemed familiar?! Right, wasn’t this the disciple who followed Qingyue Fairy at the Jing Long Immortal Temple in the Nine Nether Domain?
“Nine Spirits, do you know of this person’s background?”
“Hmm, this person is named Lu Changsheng, a disciple of Jing Long Immortal Temple. But was his cultivation really so high that he could kill the Green Ox King?”
Nine Spirits King had seen Lu Changsheng, Ning Qianqian, and Xiao Fan in the Nine Nether Domain, but at that time, Lu Changsheng was only an Earth Immortal.
“`
Yet the Green Ox King was nothing less than a Half-Step Great Luo Golden Immortal!
The Nine Spirits King found it hard to believe that Lu Changsheng could have killed the Green Ox King.
“A disciple from the Jing Long Immortal Temple? Does Qingyue really think I wouldn’t dare to destroy her Sect?”
The King of Chaos was wary of Qingyue Fairy, but he had six sworn brothers, each of whom was at least an early-stage Daluo Golden Immortal!
With the seven Demon Kings taking action, Qingyue Fairy simply couldn’t protect the Jing Long Immortal Temple.
Then the Nine Spirits King said, “But I’ve heard that this person offended the Divine Lightning Sect and left the Jing Long Immortal Temple thousands of years ago, fearing to return. So even if you destroy the Jing Long Immortal Temple, brother, you cannot take revenge. Qingyue’s origins are not simple; it’s unnecessary to make her an enemy.”
The Golden Feather King said, “Jueyun Ridge, Accumulated Thunder Mountain, Nine Holy Mountains, and other places under our control have issued a bounty for this person. What do my brothers think?”
“There’s no other choice.”
“Issue the order. Hang a bounty for this person across the seven domains. Once his whereabouts are discovered, offer a reward varying from one hundred thousand to ten million Immortal Stones. For capturing or killing this person, the reward will be one hundred million Immortal Stones!”
The King of Chaos, powerful and wealthy, directly ordered a hundred million Immortal Stones as a bounty for Lu Changsheng.
The other six Demon Kings couldn’t help but be tempted.
That was a whole billion.
Seven Sects from the Demon Race, as well as forces affiliated with them, cultivators and Great Demons flocked out in droves, searching for Lu Changsheng’s trail.
At Jinglong Mountain, Temple Master Qingyue Fairy and protector Shangguan Zhao’er were shocked and speechless upon hearing that the seven great Demon gates had placed a bounty of one hundred million Immortal Stones on Lu Changsheng.
It had been less than seven thousand years, and Lu Changsheng was already capable of defeating the Green Ox King, who was at the Half-Step Great Luo Golden Immortal Realm.
“It seems my disciple will soon join the ranks of the Daluo Golden Immortals.”
Expectantly, Qingyue Fairy thought that Lu Changsheng might become her first disciple to reach the Daluo Golden Immortal Realm.
At Liuyun Pavilion, Fairy Qingxia also heard the news that the seven great Demon Race Sects had issued a bounty for Lu Changsheng.
“Perhaps he really can defeat the King of Chaos in the future. That’s my only hope. But I can’t fall behind either; I must break through to the Daluo Golden Immortal Realm as soon as possible and take control of my destiny,” Qingxia said.
Fairy Qingxia was determined not to rely solely on her juniors and redoubled her cultivation efforts.
After rescuing the cultivators from Unparalleled City, Lu Changsheng, accompanied by a few disciples, continued his trials in the Immortal Realm.
Before the thirty-thousand-year appointment arrived, Lu Changsheng aimed to step into the Daluo Golden Immortal Realm and be confident enough to defeat the King of Chaos before returning to Jinglong Mountain.
Meanwhile, Lu Changsheng was inquiring everywhere about Xia Ningxue’s and his other direct disciples’ whereabouts.
Xia Ningxue, Lin Qingzhi, Mo Huazhi, Shen Xiaoyao, Ji Xuan, and Chen Yao had all ascended to the Immortal Realm but had been out of contact ever since.
Sky Feather Country, a small nation affiliated with the Demon Sect Jueyun Ridge, had already posted the bounty notice for Lu Changsheng.
The territories of the seven great Demon Race Sects were all buzzed with tales of Lu Changsheng killing the Green Ox King, as bands of Great Demons and cultivators set out to search for Lu Changsheng’s whereabouts.
“The King of Chaos is offering a hundred million Immortal Stones…”
Lu Changsheng, arriving in Sky Feather Country with his four direct disciples, discovered the place fell under Jueyun Ridge’s influence, and that the Demon King of Jueyun Ridge’s sworn brother, the King of Chaos, was offering a hundred million Immortal Stones for his head.
A hundred million Immortal Stones.
Even Lu Changsheng was tempted by the amount.
But Lu Changsheng couldn’t just capture himself.
Lu Changsheng quickly led his four disciples away from the domain of Jueyun Ridge.
The Golden Feather King of Jueyun Ridge was a Daluo Golden Immortal, and Lu Changsheng wasn’t yet strong enough to challenge a Daluo Golden Immortal.
In a terrifying forbidden land of the Immortal Realm, filled with countless palaces and enveloped in black fog, with no sunlight or moonlight, stood a mountain gate with an eight-hundred-zhang-tall boulder inscribed with the ancient seal characters for “Eternal Night.”
“The King of Chaos from Accumulated Thunder Mountain is offering a hundred million Immortal Stones for us to hunt down a Half-Step Great Luo Golden Immortal Loose Cultivator.”
“A hundred million Immortal Stones to enlist our ‘Eternal Night’ services? Tell them it has to be at least two hundred million.”
“If the King of Chaos agrees, does Elder plan to take action personally?”
“For the assassination of a Half-Step Great Luo Golden Immortal, a ‘Heavenly Level’ Assassin will suffice. If I were to make a move, it would start at a billion Immortal Stones.”
“That makes sense, after all, Elder has a record of slaying Daluo Golden Immortals and is our ‘Eternal Night’ Heavenly Level Assassin… I will make the arrangements immediately,” the disciple said.
Soon, the bounty for Lu Changsheng was posted on the notice board of the Eternal Night Sect.
A female assassin clad in a night suit and carrying an Immortal Sword took down the bounty notice.
