564: Chapter 564 A Walking Treasure Trove!

"Oh, right, this is a personal reward I am offering. It will not stack with the rewards from the bounty order. Besides these, you can still receive the rewards from our Crane Clan's bounty order."

At this moment, He Hunxu added.

"What?!"

Hearing this, the City Lord's pupils constricted, and he looked almost in disbelief.

Killing Li Fan could earn a Venerable Level inheritance?

Obtaining a portion of him could earn an Immortal Level secret technique?!

And this was only the reward personally offered by He Hunxu, not including what was on the bounty order.

This generosity... seemed a bit too much!

Although most of these younger generation cultivators came from major powers and logically shouldn't lack secret techniques or cultivation methods, the grade of the techniques and methods He Hunxu offered was too high.

A Universe Venerable Level secret technique was extremely precious even to top-tier powers and wouldn't be easily taught.

Now, just by taking down Li Fan, one could obtain one—this was truly too tempting!

And as the saying goes, great rewards bring forth brave men!

Once this news reached the ears of the younger generation, even if their strength was far inferior to Li Fan's, some would inevitably choose to take a reckless gamble, hoping to try their luck and take down Li Fan.

And even if they couldn't kill him, they could try to obtain a part of his remains and then retreat.

After all, an Immortal Level secret technique was not something to scoff at!

As long as He Hunxu’s news got out, Li Fan would instantly transform into a human-shaped treasure.

"Yes, Senior, I understand. I will tell those little fellows about this."

After taking a deep breath, the City Lord agreed to He Hunxu's proposal.

At this moment, besides sighing that He Hunxu truly wanted Li Fan dead, he had nothing else to say.

However, speaking of which, he actually hoped someone could kill Li Fan.

He was aware of some of Li Fan's battle records; his potential was truly terrifying.

Once Li Fan grew up, he would definitely be a major threat to them!

...

Not long after, the City Lord returned to the City Lord's Mansion and relayed the situation regarding He Hunxu to the other City Lords.

For a moment,

All the City Lords present frowned deeply, feeling their mouths go dry.

"It really was Senior He who did it!"

"Not taking action for now, refusing to leave until Li Fan is taken down—what is he trying to do...?"

"It's strange, too. Although the aptitude of the young cultivator from the Crane Clan killed by Li Fan was astonishing, is it necessary for Senior He and the Crane Clan to be so concerned? Offering a Universe Venerable Level inheritance to bounty Li Fan?!"

"Indeed, besides He Tianyue, the Crane Clan does have other young cultivators capable of holding the fort. They are just slightly older than He Tianyue. It shouldn't warrant this much effort..."

It was exactly as they guessed: He Hunxu had broken the unwritten rules and gone to the other side to demand a person!

And it seemed completely impossible to communicate with them.

He Hunxu temporarily promised not to act, but he didn't guarantee he wouldn't act later.

Regarding this, they all dared not speak their anger.

And upon hearing that He Hunxu personally offered a bounty on Li Fan to the younger generation, their eyes widened in disbelief.

He Tianyue's demise was indeed a huge loss for the Crane Clan, causing a direct gap in their current generation of prodigies.

But the Crane Clan had deep foundations. If the current generation wasn't strong, the previous batch of young cultivators who were almost ready to stand on their own could support them until the Crane Clan produced a new generation of top prodigies. Thus, even losing one generation wasn't that huge of an impact.

In their view, He Hunxu's bounty was clearly a bit extreme.

However, they didn't know the specific depth of the familial affection between He Hunxu and He Tianyue, so they couldn't investigate further, only offering a simple complaint and expression of surprise.

Now that they had the truth—that it was indeed He Hunxu's doing—the matter of the three Immortals falling could be considered barely passed.

They couldn't blame He Hunxu, nor could they easily seek revenge on the other side.

The former was someone they couldn't afford to provoke.

As for the latter, it wasn't that they were scared, but if they chose retaliation and continued to kill the Immortals on the other side, the situation would likely escalate rapidly. If that happened, the entire defensive frontline battlefield might be affected and fall into chaos, and the cost of that would be too great.

So, even though they lost three Immortals while the other side only lost one, their loss was more severe. Now, they could only swallow this silent grievance.

...

Not long after,

The news of He Hunxu's bounty quickly reached the ears of all the younger generation cultivators via that City Lord.

"What? An ancestor of the Crane Clan is offering a Universe Venerable Level Inheritance for Li Fan's life?! Even if one cannot kill him, obtaining a piece of his remains will earn an Immortal Level secret technique?"

"Hiss! What a price to set!"

"It seems that ancestor of the Crane Clan went to the other side to demand Li Fan! If it's the Crane Clan's ancestor, then it makes sense!"

"Such an outrageous reward—it seems that ancestor of the Crane Clan really wants to avenge He Tianyue!"

"The reward is indeed outrageous, but you need to be alive to claim it. That guy Li Fan's strength is too terrifying. During the grand gathering, he could already kill He Tianyue, who possessed seven strands of law power. After three months, his strength is probably even greater!"

"Who cares! Isn't a Universe Venerable Level Inheritance tempting? If we can't beat Li Fan head-on, can't we use sneak attacks?"

...

Just as expected.

Except for that tiny fraction of top prodigies from extremely supreme backgrounds who didn't lack Universe Venerable Level inheritances, the majority of the other prodigies were burning with desire.

Especially the older batch of young cultivators.

They were older than the current batch and much stronger.

The current batch of young cultivators might have been somewhat intimidated by Li Fan, still harboring some apprehension, but this older batch of young cultivators had no 'filter' regarding Li Fan.

In their eyes, Li Fan was just a top prodigy with heaven-defying talent who hadn't fully grown yet—they had seen plenty of such existences.

Now, as long as they could take down Li Fan, they could obtain a Universe Venerable Level Inheritance.

The cost-benefit ratio of this deal was simply too high!

Because if they worked themselves to death fighting in the Pure Land Zone, it would take them a considerable amount of time to obtain an opportunity of equivalent value.

For a time,

Not only were many of the current generation's prodigies targeting Li Fan, but many of the older generation's prodigies were also targeting him.

Meanwhile, in a leisure room within the large city at this moment,

Huang Yunshang had also heard about the bounty order proposed by the Crane Clan ancestor.

On her face, besides a hint of surprise, there was mostly worry.

She was worried that before she could take revenge on Li Fan, he would be killed by someone else.

This bounty was really posted at the worst possible time!
