594: Huge Bounty

Ye Wushang's gaze was like the coldest blade, sweeping over that pool of blood and mud, the deep pit, and another much larger knee mark belonging to Old Black Mu on the edge of the cliff. Deep within his eyes, apart from cold killing intent, flashed a trace of imperceptible gravity.

"We are too late." Ye Wushang's voice was terrifyingly calm, yet it contained a chill that could freeze the Soul. "Junior Brother Mu's Soul Jade has not shattered, but his aura is extremely weak, and his position is moving away at a terrifying speed... He has been captured by Yao Delong!"

This sentence was like a heavy hammer, smashing fiercely into the hearts of Permanent Nothingness and Tu Wanxiong!

Capturing a Void Refining Early Stage Body Cultivator?! This was even more difficult and unbelievable than killing him!

"Vice Sect Master! Let us pursue! He is carrying Junior Brother, he cannot run far!" Tu Wanxiong roared, his Battle Intent boiling like a volcano.

"Pursue?" Ye Wushang's eyes flickered with nether ghost fire, his voice carrying a trace of sarcasm. "The opponent is proficient in spatial escape techniques, his speed is incredibly fast, and his direction is unknown. How can we pursue? Furthermore... this place is not the Xuan Ye Dynasty. If we rashly pursue, are you intending to deliver a few more Void Refining experts to the Yin Yang Sect as battle merits?"

Permanent Nothingness and Tu Wanxiong were instantly speechless, their faces turning ashen.

The Yin Yang Sect was also a behemoth; without concrete evidence and overwhelming power, going to their door to demand someone was simply courting death!

Ye Wushang stood with his hands behind his back, looking in the direction where Yao Delong had disappeared. Deep within his pupils, for the first time, he felt a strong sense of wariness toward that name.

"This child... has already become a great threat!" He slowly spoke, his voice ice-cold. "At the Late Stage Soul Transformation, he already has the ability to counter-kill Void Refining experts, and even capture them alive! If we let him grow... in the future, he will surely be a grave threat to my Nine Nether Sect! We must spare no cost to strangle him before he truly soars into the Nine Heavens!"

He turned his gaze to Permanent Nothingness: "Immediately transmit my Vice Sect Master secret order: All dark agents and affiliated forces of the Nine Nether Sect, listen up! From this day forth, spare no cost to search for the tracks of the Yin Yang Sect True Disciple, Yao Delong!"

"Anyone who provides accurate intelligence on his whereabouts, once verified, will be rewarded with one Medium Grade Heaven-Grade Weapon! One hundred thousand Sect contribution points!"

"Anyone who can take his head... will be rewarded with one supreme grade heavenly artifact! One Nine Nether Mysterious Underworld Pill! And will be directly promoted to a Core Elder of the Nine Nether Sect!"

"Hiss!" Even as Hall Masters, Permanent Nothingness and Tu Wanxiong couldn't help but gasp when they heard this outrageously generous bounty!

A Medium Grade Heaven-Grade Weapon! A supreme grade heavenly artifact! And the Nine Nether Mysterious Underworld Pill that could help Void Refining experts break through their Bottleneck! This bounty was enough to drive all the desperate outlaws in the entire Eastern Region crazy!

"Yes! Vice Sect Master!" Permanent Nothingness suppressed the shock in his heart, immediately accepted the order, took out his communication jade talisman, and began frantically issuing instructions.

Ye Wushang said nothing more, just stood quietly at the edge of Ghost Cry Cliff, looking at the remnants of the battlefield, his eyes deep.

He knew that once this bounty was issued, Yao Delong will completely become the public enemy of the entire dark side of the Eastern Region!

Countless greedy eyes and deadly traps will entangle him like maggots on bones!

"Yao Delong... I would like to see, under the boundless killing tribulations of this Eastern Region, how long you, this Baleful Star, can continue to shine!" The cold words dissipated into the wailing Yin wind.

At this moment, in the high sky nearly ten thousand miles away from Myriad Flower Spring Outing Valley. Yao Delong was riding his sword light, his speed already slowed down.

Yao Delong frowned slightly. He had come out on this trip originally to settle accounts with his two old enemies, Old Demon Hundred Refinements and Mad Extreme Demon Lord, but he hadn't expected to first bump into the Heavenly Demon Sect Saintess Xin Yuelan, and then have successive battles with the Nine Nether Sect, without even seeing the main targets.

"The Nine Nether Sect... their way of doing things is quite similar to the demonic brats of the Heavenly Demon Sect..." Thoughts turned in Yao Delong's mind as his gaze swept toward the shifty-looking black giant behind him. "Little Black!"

Old Black Mu shuddered, hurriedly stepped forward, and tried his best to squeeze out what he considered his most submissive smile: "Master! What are your orders?!"

Yao Delong asked directly: "I ask you, is there any collusion or cooperation between the Nine Nether Sect and the Heavenly Demon Sect demonic cultivators hiding in the Eastern Region?"

Old Black Mu was stunned, then immediately realized this was about asking for intelligence! This was the perfect opportunity for him to show his loyalty (and earn trust)! He immediately perked up his spirits, racking his brains to recall:

"Reporting to Master! Collusion... uh, cooperation does exist! Those demonic brats are mysterious and sneaky; every few days they send people to my Nine Nether Sect, calling it 'exchanging what one has for what one needs,' but actually they just want to use some Demon Realm Materials that are rare in our Eastern Region to exchange for our Spiritual Materials and... um... some conveniences!" He carefully weighed his words, fearing to enrage Yao Delong.

"Oh? Be specific." Yao Delong's eyes narrowed slightly.

"Yes, yes, yes! For example... about a few months ago, that Old Demon Hundred Refinements, who wears a purple-gold mask and is filled with Yin Qi, came personally once!" Old Black Mu lowered his voice, as if speaking about some major secret.

"He came to find my Senior Brother Permanent Nothingness; I heard it seemed to be to exchange for key Materials to repair some kind of ancient demonic array! The commotion was not small, and even the Vice Sect Master asked about it."

"Demon Lord Hundred Refinements?! Repairing an ancient demonic array?!" A cold light flashed in Yao Delong's eyes! He instantly associated it with the ancient demonic array he had destroyed in the Northern Territory! It really was this old thing!

"Then do you know where this Old Demon Hundred Refinements is hiding now? Or his lair in the Eastern Region?" Yao Delong pressed.

Old Black Mu's face showed a troubled expression: "This... Master, please forgive me! The movements of Old Demon Hundred Refinements are extremely secretive, and his rank is very high. He deals directly with the Vice Sect Master and Senior Brother and the others. This kind of core secret, Little Black... my rank is not high enough, I really cannot access it."

He saw Yao Delong's slightly furrowed brows, his heart jumped, and he hurriedly added: "However! There is something very suspicious!"

"Speak!"

"Once, when I passed by my Senior Brother's Law Enforcement Hall, I faintly heard them secretly discussing, mentioning that Old Demon Hundred Refinements seemed... seemed to have some kind of unknown connection with the Moyang Sect! It seems... it seems there is an inside man?" Old Black Mu tried hard to recall the vague fragments.

"Moyang Sect?!" Yao Delong was shocked!

This clue instantly matched the intelligence he had gathered at the White Cloud Merchant Guild! For Demon Lord Hundred Refinements and Mad Extreme Demon Lord to escape repeatedly under the siege of the Righteous Path, there must be a powerful inside man! And it was highly likely to be in the upper echelons of the Moyang Sect!

Moyang Sect... traitor... Demon Lord Hundred Refinements... new and old grudges! Yao Delong's eyes became incomparably sharp.

It just so happened that he should also go see his fiancée, Li Linger. That girl Linger, he wondered if she had been Cultivating properly? Also... that Sect infiltrated by the demonic traitors, it was time to go "clean it up"!

"Very good." Yao Delong looked at Old Black Mu, rarely giving a word of affirmation.

Old Black Mu was instantly flattered, grinned, revealing two rows of big white teeth, and his back straightened a little.

"Let's go!" Yao Delong turned his sword light, pointing directly in the direction of the Moyang Sect! His voice carried a trace of cold playfulness: "To the Moyang Sect! See that girl Linger... and by the way, catch a few 'vultures' hiding in the 'Righteous Path'!"

Although Qiong Shuang only half-understood, she knew they were going to Li Linger's place, so she immediately clapped her hands happily: "Yay! Going to the Moyang Sect to play, play, play!"

Old Black Mu looked at the cold smile on his Master's lips and subconsciously shuddered. He had a premonition that the Moyang Sect... was probably not going to be peaceful!
