Chapter 727 - Mysterious Palace Lady
Xuanyuan was not in a hurry to go to the Taibai Merchant Guild because the grand feast of the huge auction would be held in a month’s time and it was still in the process of being decided. There was no use in going, and it was very important that he did not have any money in his pocket, so he was panicking in his heart. Money was not everything, but it was absolutely impossible to not have money.
“Right now, I will first use the souls of these three Fated Immortal Pirates to collect the bounty. I’m afraid that after the eight Demon Kings have finished their happiness, they will curse if they can’t receive the reward. I wonder what kind of expression they will have when they can’t receive the reward? They’ve already received enough, so how can they possibly obtain it without me serving as bait?”
Xuan Yuan laughed and then walked towards the Hall of Punishment of the Ten Thousand Immortal Island. He was very happy.
The reward and punishment hall of the Great Island of the Immortals was located in the center of the Main City. This place punished those who made mistakes, as well as those who completed missions like Xuan Yuan, or made great contributions.
On top of it, there were traces of a deity’s imprints that appeared. There was even the flow of an ancient dao, giving people the feeling that they had experienced the vicissitudes of life, that they had seen the ups and downs of the world, that they had experienced a thousand years of wind and frost, and that their hearts were trembling.
This hall gave off the impression that it was a treasure that contained an unfathomable might. This was the feeling Xuanyuan Wang had, as if he could not afford to offend someone from the depths of the hall. If someone dared to intrude, they would be sent into a rage and the person who offended them would be turned into ashes.
Beneath the giant palace, there were 9,999 floors that extended all the way down, with the white jade as the stage.
However, not everyone could reach the Hall of Reward and Punishment. There were guards on both sides of the 99999 white jade steps below the Hall of Reward and Punishment. The power of every guard was at least at the Second Cycle of Fighting Immortal Stage.
Xuanyuan was dressed in a secret attire. When he reached the first flight of stairs, he was obstructed by eight guards. Among them, a rather old guard asked:
“Are you here to receive your reward or are you being punished?”
“Of course it’s to receive rewards. Could it be that someone will deliver himself to the door to receive punishment?” How could there be such a fool in the world? " Xuan Yuan smiled.
“Of course there are. Some people, in order to reduce the penalty, turn themselves in. Since you’re here to receive rewards, then according to the level of the bounty, you’ll receive a suitable reward.” The guards no longer obstructed him and released Xuanyuan Po.
The bounty levels they were talking about, like the three Life Immortal pirates, were of the Life Immortal level. The bounty levels were of the same level as Xuan Yuan’s bounty level on the bounty stage.
Xuanyuan lightly walked like a ghost, his speed as fast as if he was flying. He soared into the nine heavens, piercing through the air like lightning, attracting the attention of many people.
Xuan Yuan quickly reached the Fate Ranking.
In the center, on a white jade table, there was a jade zither. An old man with a bright and healthy appearance sat cross-legged on the ground, exuding a sense of righteousness. His hands were on the zither, and his fingers were gently moving.
Seeing that someone had arrived, he stopped his father and stood up to look at Xuanyuan. A strange expression flashed in his eyes as the old man lightly laughed and said,
“Young man, are you here to receive my reward?”
“Yes, it’s a pleasure to meet you, senior.” Xuanyuan Wentian bowed respectfully without the slightest hesitation. It wasn’t that this old man was powerful, it was just because this old man’s character was upright and upright that caused people to respect him and Xuanyuan Wentian to not dare to slight him.
“Mm, what bounty quest did you complete?” The old man was at the peak of the Life Immortal Realm and was already half a step into Earthly Immortal Stage. He could feel that this young man in front of him was definitely not as simple as he looked, so he naturally took him seriously.
“Seventy-two pirates.” Even if he was asked to personally go, he might not be able to complete the task. These pirates, even the weakest among them, had methods of unspeakable viciousness and ruthlessness, and were all formidable figures who had experienced countless battles, and were extremely vicious in their methods. Ordinary people with the same strength as them did not have their own scheming, let alone the ability of being their match, but the young man in front of them was actually able to accomplish it.
“What? Which one did you kill?” The old man had a look of surprise on his face as he quickly asked.
“Three!” Xuan Yuan said.
“What?” Three? Which three? " The old man had an expression of disbelief. Xuan Yuan only had the strength of a Sixth Cycle Dou Xian. How could he kill three Life Immortal experts in one go?
Xuan Yuan used his fingertips to draw out a remnant soul of the last three Fate Immortal pirates. Their distorted faces appeared on the soul fragments. Their faces were ferocious as they howled in madness.
“I will never let you go even if I become a ghost in my life. I will kill you, I will kill you, hahahaha …”
“I curse you to die in this heavenly tribulation and never reincarnate. Don’t think that you can escape this calamity by killing us. You so-called geniuses will all die in your own calamities …”
“You will die a horrible death. Don’t ever think about stepping into the Emperor’s Mirror in your entire life. In this era, there is no one who can step into the Emperor’s Mirror anymore. Just give up …”
It was no wonder that these three Life Immortal pirates died in such an aggrieved manner. Before they died, their entire bodies were shackled to the heavens, not to mention that they were humiliated by the eight Demon Kings, they received quite a few beatings, and they were also stripped of everything except their underpants. Fortunately, they did not need to pay attention to their underpants, otherwise, they would not even be left with underpants.
However, these were only retribution for one thing and retribution for another. They had done countless evil deeds, and this was retribution for that.
“How about it? Do you want to give me the bounty according to the bounty on the bounty?” Xuanyuan asked.
“Well, sure enough, they are bandits. Murderous bandits, ghouls thieves. They rank in the last three of the seventy-two pirates.” The old man’s eyes were filled with shock, amazement, and admiration. He had never expected that a younger generation member would be able to complete the bounty. He was overjoyed. Everything that had happened was beyond his expectations.
"That’s right, we, the Ten Thousand Immortal Island, will naturally keep our word. When these three bandits were alive, they committed countless evil deeds and killed close to a million innocent people, and their hands were bloody. They are angry, and they stole people’s treasures, and they raped women, and they committed all sorts of evil deeds and committed all sorts of heinous crimes.
As soon as the old man finished speaking, he took out a storage ring and handed it over to Xuan Yuan. Xuan Yuan then opened it and let the greedy old man count the amount.
“Thank you, senior.” Just as Xuan Yuan was about to leave after putting away the storage ring, the old man opened his mouth to keep Xuan Yuan as he said:
“Young man, hold on. This old man has a few things he wants to ask you.”
“Senior, please ask.”
Are you related to an organization called Samsara on the mainland? I’ve been to the Eastern Region and fought with the Immortals of the ‘Samsara’ before. I have a feeling that you’ve given me a vague feeling. The old man’s voice was gentle as he asked Xuan Yuan.
Xuan Yuan frowned. After a pause, he said:
“Indeed, I am training in the ‘Samsara’, but I am not willing to kill any more innocent people, nor am I willing to start too big of a conflict with any major powers. I also need money, so I came to the Eastern Sea Region to find those sinners and find trouble. On one hand, I can train myself, on the other hand, I can remove harm for the people, and on the other hand, I can relieve myself of my predicament.”
The old man in front of him was unyielding and upright. When Xuanyuan saw that the old man was speaking nonsense, he felt that the old man was very understanding. He clapped his hands and said,
“Good, well said, I know that in ‘Samsara’, there are many heaven’s pride experts from various great powers who will go in and train themselves, this old man will not inquire further about your identity, but this old man has just received news that the 69th place ‘Deep Pirates’ will be continuously tracking you down, do you dare to accept this bounty?”
This, according to its name, I’m afraid that this pirate must be hiding in the depths of the ocean. For me, fighting in the deep sea is extremely disadvantageous for me, and after a month, the ‘Taibai Merchant Guild’ auction is going to start. I am extremely short of money, and there is a saying that money can make ghosts struggle. Xuanyuan Jiuxing frowned. For someone like him who had a competition of water, fighting in the deep seas was the most advantageous for him. Currently, he was the one who lacked the most funds.
“That’s right, this’ Deep Pirates’ cultivates the water attribute, and is extremely difficult to deal with. Quite a few people have been harmed by him, and he is very rampant, and has recently killed quite a few innocent people. If you had not eliminated three pirates by yourself, this old man would not have dared to let a young man like you accept this mission.” The elder sighed and continued:
In the short span of a few years, this Deep Pirates have killed countless rogue cultivators and plundered countless items, their bounty reached up to 200 million life immortal coins. If you can capture and kill them, I will see if you can apply for more bounty from the hall master.
This old man had lived his entire life, and he understood the meaning behind Xuanyuan words the most. However, he also liked this young man’s straightforward words.
“There’s no need to apply. Since the youth is able to capture and kill the deep pirates, I’ll give you three hundred million life immortal coins as a reward. However, your life is in danger, so you have to weigh the pros and cons; we won’t force you.” A gentle female voice rang out like a clear spring striking a rock. It was extremely pleasant to the ears. Every syllable was imbued with the rhythm of the great dao. This woman’s cultivation was unfathomable, causing Xuanyuan Wentian to be shocked.
The old man hurriedly bowed towards the majestic Hall of Reward and Punishment behind him:
“Greetings, Hall Master…”
