Chapter 445 - Bounty Reward, Visiting Divine Predictor Pavillion, An Important Guest Has Arrived
At Qitai Mountain, people from Jadewater Sect had imposed a lockdown upon this place.
They all knew that Greenmist Fairy had obtained some sort of big Opportunity of Fortune. The only shame was that they would never get the chance to see it, not to mention share it.
Ever since Greenmist Fairy became their leader, they had never enjoyed a day of peace. These people were mere tools for that lady.
Nonetheless, neither of them had the power to retaliate.
After all, she was a Soaring Dragon Leaderboard sky-pride.
“God knows what kind of dumb luck this b*tch has stumbled upon. I can’t believe she has uncovered such a rare Opportunity of Fortune. Life could be a jerk sometimes.”
One of the sect’s disciples could not resist lamenting.
At this moment, a ray of white light flashed past them.
It crashed through mountains after mountains!
A figure was pinned onto the canyon wall by a long white spear.
Every Jadewater Sect disciple there hurried over to have a look. Their eyes widened, and they inhaled sharply when they saw it.
“Is… that… Greenmist Fairy?!”
“Wow. Who managed to do this to her?”
Although the Jadewater Sect disciples were unhappy with Greenmist Fairy, they could not deny how strong this Soaring Dragon Leaderboard sky-pride was. Her combat strength was as good as the older generation elites.
Yet now, she was pinned onto a canyon wall!
They then saw two figures slowly walking out of the secret realm a distance away.
When the Jadewater Sect disciples saw who those two were, their faces turned pale. They fumbled a few steps backward with terrified looks on their faces.
“It’s him!”
“When… when did he return?!”
Swoosh…
Lan Yu’s figure flashed and reappeared on the canyon wall. She lifted one arm and formed another white long spear with chilly Daoist Rhymes surging out from it.
“Please don’t kill me…”
Greenmist Fairy could only beg for her life now. Terror was written all over her eyes.
Still, Lan Yu raised the spear and plunged it downward.
A cloud of red mist imploded as Greenmist Fairy’s head was crushed open!
“Sect Leader, please forgive us. Please let us live!”
Just then, an elder fell onto his knees in front of Chu Kuangren, his entire body trembling.
“Sect Leader, we didn’t intend to betray the Black Heaven Sect. Those were all the doings of the previous Jadewater Sect Leader. It has nothing to do with us.”
Another elder followed suit and knelt on the ground.
From their perspective, Chu Kuangren had come here to exact revenge on them.
After all, back when the Black Heaven Sect was surrounded by several major forces, not only did the Jadewater Sect not offer them help, but they even declared their independence.
Strictly speaking, that could be considered as a form of betrayal.
Seeing the elders knelt one after the other, all Jadewater Sect disciples dared not stand on their feet longer. Soon, the whole landscape was full of people kneeling on the ground.
“Let’s leave.”
Chu Kuangren said to Lan Yu indifferently.
With that, the duo left Qitai Mountain. From the moment they arrived, they had never batted an eye on those Jadewater Sect folks.
To them, these people were just puny characters who were not worth more than mere ants.
Nobody cared if some tiny little ants knelt to beg.
After Chu Kuangren had gotten hands on the Opportunities of Fortune at Qitai Mountain, a message quickly spread across the whole Firmament Star.
The six top-notch orthodoxies have placed a bounty on Chu Kuangren!
Whoever could kill Chu Kuangren would be rewarded with a ludicrous sum prepared by the six great orthodoxies.
Apart from that, news of Chu Kuangren’s possession of two Emperor Weapons had also spread like wildfire, drawing the attention of many towards this bounty.
Although quite a few Opportunities of Fortunes had been surfacing in these past few years, Emperor Weapons were still an extremely rare find. Less than a handful of Opportunities of Fortunes had Emperor Weapons in them.
Either way, Emperor Weapons were very important for Emperors. Hence, when Emperors leave behind an Opportunity of Fortune, they seldom leave their weapons or armors along with it.
Meanwhile, Chu Kuangren alone had two great Emperor Weapons!
These two Emperor Weapons were too enticing. Add that to the bounty placed by the six top-notch orthodoxies, many cultivators were tempted.
“Chu Kuangren is now like a moving treasure vault. If we manage to kill him, we can reap a huge reward.”
“Pfft, if it were the past, I don’t think many would dare to touch this guy. Now that he has the Heavenly Punishment Seal on him, how much combat strength can he muster, even with those bizarre rune techniques?”
“Exactly. With the two Emperor Weapons and the huge sum of reward offered by the six top-notch orthodoxies, I feel like this is a risk worth taking!”
An undercurrent ensued in Firmament Star.
Numerous cultivators were tracking down Chu Kuangren’s location.
Despite the circumstances, Chu Kuangren did not show any sign of wanting to conceal his whereabouts. Instead, he carried on his tasks as usual.
After settling matters at Qitai Mountain, his next destination would be… Craggy Ocean Tower!!
If this were the past, Craggy Ocean Tower would not have surfaced to the world yet, and it would be incredibly tough to locate them.
However, things are different now. These unknown lands had announced themselves to the realm one after another. Not only had they stopped hiding, but they even made a grand entrance to announce their orthodoxies to the world. Almost everyone in the world knew where they were situated.
On his way to Craggy Ocean Tower, Chu Kuangren passed by a fortress.
This fortress was called… Divine Predictor City!
That was because an expert here named the divine predictor lived here.
The moment Chu Kuangren stepped into Divine Predictor City, many of the elites in the city had already noticed his presence.
“Chu Kuangren has arrived at the Divine Predictor City!”
“This guy doesn’t even bother to cover his tracks. Doesn’t he know the grave danger that he is currently in?!”
“Hmm, it seems like he doesn’t really care about us.”
As for those streaks of spiritual thoughts that were projected onto his own body, Chu Kuangren did not heed them at all. In fact, he continued strolling along the streets with Lan Yu.
He attracted quite a lot of attention along the way.
Nevertheless, as the eye of a storm, the two were bothered about it. They ate whatever and visited wherever they wanted until they arrived at the Divine Predictor Pavillion.
Chu Kuangren lifted his head and glanced at the Soaring Dragon Leaderboard that was suspended over the sky above him. His lips curled as he muttered, “What ridiculous mumbo jumbo.”
He was not surprised that he was ranked first on the Soaring Dragon Leaderboard. The best in the world?! Was he not the best a long time ago?!
…
Inside the Divine Predictor Pavillion.
The divine predictor was sitting on a zafu, with mystical Daoist Rhymes circling him. Within those Daoist Rhymes, countless moments intertwined and connected.
If there were a great one here, he or she would surely be flabbergasted upon witnessing this scene.
These moments included the past, present, and future…
This was the divine predictor’s power!
“Oh, an important guest is here.” As if the divine predictor had sensed something, he slowly dispelled the Daoist Rhymes around his body.
He ordered a boy outside his door, “Hao Yue, there’s an esteemed guest outside. Can you go and welcome him for me?”
The young boy looked pretty surprised.
Throughout the past few years, countless people wished they could enter the Divine Predictor Pavillion. Everyone wanted to meet the divine predictor so he could tell them their good or bad omens.
However, no one succeeded.
The fate of the heavens could never be revealed.
The divine predictor lived in seclusion inside the Divine Predictor Pavillion. Aside from Qian Fugui, who helped him build this Divine Predictor Pavillion, he never really accepted any guests.
What more an important guest whom he would voluntarily welcome inside.
“Yes.”
Hao Yue did not dare to delay and quickly stepped out of Divine Predictor Pavillion.
At this moment, outside the Divine Predictor Pavillion.
Chu Kuangren’s arrival had garnered quite a lot of limelight.
“Do you guys think Chu Kuangren can make it inside?”
“I’m not sure. All these years, so many people have been wanting to meet the divine predictor. But besides Qian Fugui and those stinking rich businessmen, no one managed to get in there.”
“But it could be a different case for Chu Kuangren.”
“Who knows?. He’s ranked first on the Soaring Dragon Leaderboard.”
“Pfft. Now that the six great orthodoxies have placed a bounty on his head, we don’t even know how much longer he can live. Perhaps the divine predictor would refuse him so he wouldn’t be involved in his doomed fate…”
