104: Invitation from the Elder of Taixu Sect

For some time now, both Cultivators and Mortals within the Demon Slaying Alliance's sphere of influence had been living in fear because of that hidden team of evil cultivators.

They were terrified that the evil cultivators would one day come knocking on their doors to extract their souls for a blood sacrifice.

Now that the hidden team of evil cultivators had been wiped out, everyone couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

Finally, they no longer had to live those days of constant fear.

However, after the initial joy, everyone began to speculate about who had discovered that group of evil cultivators.

It wasn't that they wanted to thank the person; rather, they were more concerned about the one-million-contribution-point bounty.

One million contribution points!

Even a Nascent Soul Stage Cultivator could not ignore such a massive amount of contribution points.

Walking along the way, Zhang Daobai saw the glint of greed in many people's eyes.

Zhang Daobai estimated that if he were exposed as the one who received those million contribution points, there would likely be eight hundred if not a thousand people wanting to hunt him down!

When he arrived at the Rogue Cultivator Alliance branch, Zhang Daobai noticed many people staring intently at the entrance.

Clearly, they were all waiting for the lucky person who received the million contribution points to appear.

The reason they were waiting here was obviously because they knew the evil cultivators' hiding spot was closest to Luoxing City.

And after discovering the evil cultivators, the report would certainly have been made in Luoxing City.

By the same logic, if someone were to come and claim the reward, it was very likely they would come here to do so.

In any case, regardless of whether it would work, they decided to camp out and see; if they caught the person, they'd strike it rich.

Zhang Daobai looked at these predatory people and calmly withdrew his gaze.

Afterward, Zhang Daobai found a deserted spot, activated Void Stealth, and vanished into the Void Realm.

Since it wasn't far from the Rogue Cultivator Alliance branch, Zhang Daobai teleported directly from the Void Realm into a deserted corner inside the building.

Once inside, Zhang Daobai activated Void Stealth again and first checked if anyone was in Mo Lan's office.

After confirming that Mo Lan was alone in the room, Zhang Daobai teleported directly over.

At that moment, Mo Lan, who was sitting at the desk writing something, suddenly sensed an aura appear nearby and hastily looked up.

"It's you!"

When Mo Lan saw Zhang Daobai, he cried out in surprise.

"What's wrong, Elder Mo? It's only been a short while, have you forgotten me already?" Zhang Daobai greeted him with a smile.

Mo Lan quickly regained his composure and explained, "With so many people watching outside, I thought you would wait a while before coming."

Zhang Daobai replied with a smile, "This is a million contribution points, how could I wait that long?"

Hearing Zhang Daobai's words and recalling the way he had just appeared, Mo Lan seemed to realize something and stopped questioning him.

Without further nonsense, Mo Lan took out a jade token and placed it on the table.

"There are 1.1 million contribution points in here. The extra hundred thousand is a thank-you gift from me; you can take it and exchange it directly."

As the person who reported the information, Mo Lan had naturally received a large reward as well.

Considering Zhang Daobai's potential, Mo Lan decided to set aside a hundred thousand contribution points to befriend him.

"Then I thank Elder Mo for his kindness. If there's another mission like this next time, I'll definitely come to you first."

Zhang Daobai did not decline; instead, he accepted the jade token very naturally.

Mo Lan smiled and didn't mind Zhang Daobai's empty promise; in fact, when he planned to befriend Zhang Daobai, he hadn't even thought about getting anything in return.

To him, a hundred thousand contribution points were negligible, but using them to buy a potential future favor was something he decided was worth it.

"By the way, an Elder of the Taixu Sect heard that you have a special Physique with spatial attributes and wants to invite you to join the Taixu Sect."

"However, because the battle at the Yinyue Mountain Range is intense, he couldn't wait for you. He left a jade token for you; if you want to join the Taixu Sect, you can take this jade token and go directly there."

As Mo Lan spoke, he took out another jade token and placed it on the table.

Zhang Daobai thought for a moment before picking up the jade token.

This jade token was carved from Ethereal Jade and contained a sizable storage space within.

The two sides of the jade token were engraved with the words 'Taixu' and 'Zheng' respectively; clearly, the Taixu Sect Elder who left it was surnamed Zheng.

"I will give it careful consideration," Zhang Daobai said after snapping back to his senses.

In truth, Zhang Daobai had no intention of going to the Taixu Sect; he even planned to stay far away from it.

After all, regarding the matter of Yue Liuli, he had made the Taixu Sect take the blame, and given Empress Yin's fury at the time, she would certainly retaliate against them.

If the people of the Taixu Sect found out that he was the one who lured Empress Yin to them, they would surely hate him to death.

After putting away the jade token, Zhang Daobai prepared to leave.

As for the Zhou Tian Blood Refining Array and the Evil Cultivator Alliance's conspiracy, Zhang Daobai did not intend to speak of them personally.

Although the value of this information was immense—even far exceeding a million contribution points—

Once he revealed this news, it would be easy for people to guess that he was the one who captured Yue Liuli.

If this news reached the evil cultivators, Zhang Daobai would definitely end up on their must-kill list.

Even if no one guessed he caught Yue Liuli, just for providing information that ruined their plans, those evil cultivators would not let him off.

As for asking the Demon Slaying Alliance to help hide his identity, that was absolutely unreliable.

After all, with the evil cultivators' Soul Searching techniques, who could truly keep a secret?

Zhang Daobai was unwilling to hand over his own leverage to others.

However, he still wanted to get this news to the Demon Slaying Alliance; between the two sides, Zhang Daobai naturally hoped for the Demon Slaying Alliance to win.

If the Evil Cultivator Alliance's plan succeeded, the Tianxuan Domain would suffer a crisis of devastating proportions.

Countless Cultivators and Mortals would be affected, or even lose their lives.

At that time, even Zhang Daobai would have no choice but to take Lin Luoxue and move to another region to live.

In the blink of an eye, Zhang Daobai instantly vanished from before Mo Lan's eyes.

Looking at the spot where Zhang Daobai had disappeared, Mo Lan was stunned for a moment before muttering that the youth was formidable, then he resumed his work.

Over the next few days, Zhang Daobai stayed in the Small World performing Alchemy and did not go out.

After all, now that he had an extra 1.1 million contribution points, Zhang Daobai was in no hurry to earn more.

He only needed to wait for Lin Luoxue to wake up, then return to Thousand Star Lake to exchange for items.

Unlike before, Lin Luoxue's Fusion with the Taiyin Sword Body this time was taking much longer than Zhang Daobai had previously anticipated.

Even now, Lin Luoxue remained sealed within the block of ice.

If it weren't for the Spirit Taming Contract, through which he could confirm Lin Luoxue's condition was fine,

Zhang Daobai would likely have already become anxious and restless.
