Chapter 1456: Hefty Reward
After they entered the territory of the Talisman Sect, they finally found a city to settle down.
Tan Shaoting’s injuries had long healed, and the family planned to stay here for a while, as there was a private abode of a Great Elder nearby.
An elder from the Beast Taming Sect, with an abode within the Talisman Sect’s borders. It’s quite puzzling, but it’s hidden. Probably not many people know about it.
The Independent Practitioner Alliance learned ten days later that the disciple guarding the Hall of Soul Lamps had escaped. Moreover, two Nascent Soul and three Golden Core disciples had died. This was a major event.
The steward nervously went to report to the Alliance Hierarch.
Xingtian frowned, gesturing towards the soul lamp, but after who knows if it was ten days or more, the soul lamp showed no reaction.
Not even the stewards below dared to breathe loudly.
Enraged, Xingtian smashed the soul lamp. "Release a notice: anyone providing information will be rewarded with one hundred thousand top-grade spirit stones.
Also, send people to Yi City."
"Yes, Alliance Hierarch."
Xingtian frowned. How could this happen? Two Nascent Soul Cultivators meant significant harm to the Independent Practitioner Alliance.
What’s going on? The Divinity Transformation Ancestor died inexplicably. Now it’s the same with these five cultivators.
Is someone targeting the Independent Practitioner Alliance from below? Very likely? Achieving this must not be simple.
Who could it be? Xingtian was also baffled now. He truly couldn’t figure out who would act.
He took out Liu Zemu’s Sound Transmission Talisman, whispered a few words, and sent it off.
Upon receiving the Sound Transmission Talisman from Xingtian, Liu Zemu smiled, knowing Xingtian would surely seek him out.
He really hadn’t heard this news. He just guessed it was Su Yuanyuan’s family who did it.
But this was only a guess and certainly couldn’t be spoken.
Without solid evidence, it’s better not to speak rashly. Moreover, perhaps he could use this opportunity to get rid of Tan Shaoting; would his opportunity increase more afterward?
He replied to Xingtian, and Xingtian felt even more frustrated. How could this be? Did those five really die just like that, inexplicably? No choice, release the message across the cultivation world with a hefty reward.
Su Yuanyuan’s family wandered around the city. In the Talisman Sect’s territory, the characteristics were naturally of the Talisman Sect.
Su Yuanyuan was always very curious about the talismans of the Talisman Sect, but secretly learning couldn’t even get past herself.
So she simply bought talismans she hadn’t seen before, having already studied some from last time. They’ll look again this time.
After visiting several shops, they didn’t find any special talismans.
"Stop."
Su Yuanyuan paused, not paying attention to the surroundings, wondering what was happening.
The family turned around to see three female cultivators approaching quickly.
Su Yuanyuan frowned, "Are you calling me?"
"Yes, we’re calling you."
Su Yuanyuan released her pressure. Although she knew she was dealing with the City Lord’s daughter, a junior at the Qi Refining Seventh Level being so arrogant?
The three female cultivators were flushed from the pressure.
"How dare you, do you know who I am?"
Su Yuanyuan detested such girls.
She sneered, "You don’t even know who you are, yet dare ask others? Scram."
Tan Shaoting held his wife’s hand, and the family of four turned to leave.
After a while, Su Yuanyuan retracted her pressure. The three female cultivators finally came to their senses.
"Bold, bold. Call somebody over for me."
"Miss, cousin, this isn’t right, is it?"
"What’s wrong with it? You think I’m scared of them? Truly ungrateful." With that, she released the Sound Transmission Talisman.
Su Yuanyuan knew this was trouble. She didn’t expect that just as their family left the shop, they were surrounded by three Golden Core cultivators.
Tan Shaoting frowned, "What do you mean, friends?"
"We are from the City Lord Mansion, ordered to capture you back."
Tan Shaoting chuckled coldly, "Does the City Lord Mansion have the right to capture people for no reason?"
Qi Hong disliked this and took out his Identity Token.
"I am from the Medicine Sect. What reason do you have to capture us?"
Although they weren’t cultivators from the Medicine Sect, they knew the Identity Token of the Medicine Sect was distinct. This person held significant standing in the Medicine Sect.
This made the three hesitate.
"If there’s nothing, we shall leave."
After they left, the three quickly sent messages to the young miss.
"Are you useless? What about the Medicine Sect? Now we’re in the Talisman Sect’s Kui City."
This time, the three didn’t obey, instead sending a message to the steward.
The steward didn’t dare decide and notified the City Lord instead.
The City Lord of Kui City was a Nascent Soul cultivator from the Talisman Sect, fond of fame, thus he served as the City Lord here.
Upon hearing the steward, Chen Rushi frowned, "Medicine Sect?"
"Yes."
"A young cultivator with high seniority? Then it must be the disciple of Daojun Dan Yang, Tan Qihong. As for the other three, I suspect they are from the Tan Family.
Send someone to call the young miss back. Keep an eye on her."
Truly pampered rotten with just one young woman.
"Yes."
After being summoned back, Chen Xing began to cause trouble, but no matter how she fussed, Chen Rushi wouldn’t let her go.
He loved fame, and naturally had some understanding regarding the sects.
Looking like Tan Qihong, it must be Tan Qiyan, also a disciple of the Divinity Transformation Ancestor. The master of the Tan Family’s five children could make the Starry Realm tremble with a stomp.
Why provoke unnecessary trouble? He understood what his young woman was thinking; however, that was absolutely impossible.
The future Dao companions of the Tan Family’s three children were decided by their parents.
Though he served as the City Lord in Kui City, outside, he was just another ordinary Nascent Soul cultivator.
The family waited the next day without further harassment. Kui City wasn’t big, so they simply left.
Just outside the inn, they heard many people discussing the killing of two Nascent Soul and three Golden Core members of the Independent Practitioner Alliance, not knowing who perpetrated it.
"I heard the Alliance Hierarch of the Independent Practitioner Alliance went mad. If that junior disciple had reported back then, through the soul lamp they could’ve found the culprit. With more than ten days passed, it’s impossible now."
The family said nothing. Su Yuanyuan thought how fortunate it was. If they truly got discovered, it would really be troublesome.
"The reward now is one hundred thousand top-grade spirit stones, but do we even know the news?"
"You better stop, even if you know it, would you dare say? Killing two Nascent Soul cultivators isn’t something we little shrimps can report? Those who know would likely stay silent."
No one spoke now; it was really like that. No one dared to speak. The one hundred thousand spirit stones weren’t anything they could dream of.
The family of four left Kui City, heading towards True Monarch Jing Ling’s abode. They were going to confront him, disliking him immensely.
