The daily life of a max-level immortal cultivator

Chapter 154 Xiao Lu 1 hand

Three days is enough time to do a lot of things, such as finding the bounty hunter on the wanted poster and figuring out how to kill that Yama Butcher.

The Fengye Mountains are teeming with magical beasts, so it's not surprising that many people die at any time. But it's difficult to make it seem reasonable for someone to die at the hands of the bounty hunter while still gaining public approval.

There are many people who want to protect the Dharma to die these days, but Liu Jun was still somewhat surprised when she saw that person. He was an even more ordinary person than the face she had created with her illusion magic.

Her face wasn't outstanding, her abilities were mediocre, and she didn't look like an old man. Liu Jun was curious how she could afford such a high reward.

Upon their sudden encounter, both of them curiously sized each other up.

"how did you find me?"

The person on the other side spoke first.

Liu Jun smiled and said, "How could I dare to take this job if I didn't have some ability?"

As he spoke, he pulled out the somewhat worn-out reward notice from his pocket.

The person opposite frowned, glanced at what Liu Jun was holding, then looked at her again: "You can kill Yan Tu?"

Without denying it, since she had said so, she must have found the right person. Liu Jun calmly put the things back in her pocket.

Whether I can kill him or not is my business. Now I'm starting to doubt whether you can afford the price.

Liu Jun glanced at the person opposite him, as well as the surrounding environment and the half-eaten pancake in the person's hand, all of which spoke volumes about the person's predicament.

"You dare to post bounty notices so recklessly? Aren't you afraid that the hunters who accept the job will come after you if they don't get their reward? Do you... have a grudge against Yan Tu?"

With just a few glances, Liu Jun guessed the general idea.

Xi Ling lowered her eyes, seemingly mocking herself, and said, "This bounty has been up for a year now, do you think anyone would dare to take it? Besides, how do you know I can't afford this price..."

Liu Jun chuckled and stared at her silently for a while before saying, "Tell me, how do you want to pay? You probably can't afford the money, so I suppose it's something of equal value?"

"I always do things one thing at a time. If what you offer isn't worth the price, I have no reason to make a move."

Xi Ling looked up at the woman opposite her a few times: "I don't believe you."

"I'm just a bounty hunter, not here to make friends with you. I don't need your trust. You just need to know that I have the ability to kill Yan Tu. As for you..."

"Since you've posted a reward, you should know the rules of this trade. I won't do anything for you unless I see the deposit."

Xi Ling was naturally aware of this, but the bounty had been posted for a year, and suddenly someone appeared claiming she could do it, so she naturally had to be cautious.

Xi Ling carefully wrapped the cake in her hand and put it back into her pouch: "Why don't you tell me first what method you have to kill him?"

Liu Jun crossed his arms and scoffed, "A second-class demon envoy, working under Qing Liye, was assigned two days ago to Yan Tu's forces to purchase a batch of goods from the Fengye Mountains. Are you qualified?"

Xi Ling frowned: "A second-class demon envoy? Are you sure you can kill him? He's a protector."

"It's just a position. What, do I need to explain my capabilities to you? I'm in a very advantageous position. If you still ask so many questions without any real sincerity, I think there are plenty of people eyeing Yan Tu's head."

Liu Jun raised an eyebrow, as if she would leave immediately if she didn't show sincerity.

Xi Ling was silent for a moment, then took out another item wrapped in silk from her pouch and carefully opened it: "A sixth-tier water-type beast core, is that enough as a deposit?"

Liu Jun stared at the item in her hand: "Sixth rank? That's a good item, enough as a deposit. But, you didn't hunt it, did you?"

Xi Ling's expression turned slightly cold as she handed the item to Liu Jun: "Don't ask questions you shouldn't ask. Just tell me, what do you want me to do?"

Liu Jun glanced at Xi Ling silently, raised his eyebrows, and smiled inexplicably. He accepted the gifts and then said seriously, "Tomorrow I will go to Fengye Mountain Range with Yan Tu."

Liu Jun took out a small square wooden block and tossed it to Xi Ling: "Input demonic energy into it, and my location will be displayed on it. Just follow behind me from a distance."

"With this, you'll be protected from monsters once you enter the mountains. If I succeed, the green dot on it will turn red, and then you can come up and take his head."

Xi Ling examined the small cube for a moment, then raised her hand and infused it with a wisp of demonic energy. However, the cube remained unchanged, lying motionless in her hand. Xi Ling looked up at Liu Jun.

The latter simply smiled and said, "It will only be useful when we set off into the mountains tomorrow. It will disappear on its own after the mission is completed."

Xi Ling then looked at the other person seriously. The person who could make such an ingenious thing was indeed not simple. This time, it might really be going to succeed!

Xi Ling put away the cube, her previous dejection gone, and bowed solemnly to Liu Jun with a radiant expression: "Xi Ling awaits good news!"

Liu Jun watched the figure bowing to her without saying a word or telling anyone to get up. Instead, she turned and left.

……

The Seven Divisions' headquarters are not far from the Demon King's Palace, but only for cultivators. If an ordinary person were to walk there, it would take two or three hours to get there.

Moreover, the people of the Seven Tribes do not live in houses like other demons, but in caves.

There are countless caves formed by natural weathering on a rock wall that is tens of meters high. They live in the caves. They do not make any protection or climbing tools outside the caves. They are completely natural. If you do not have cultivation, you cannot get up there.

However, although there were no external devices outside, the interiors of their caves were interconnected. When Liu Jun arrived, one of their people led her through a long tunnel from the bottom of the mountain to the main tomb, ah, I mean the main cave.

Yan Tu would naturally not allow a stranger to roam freely on his territory, so all Liu Jun saw and knew was so little.

Upon arriving at the main cave, which was their designated place for entertaining guests and discussing matters, Liu Jun saw not only Yan Tu but also several other unfamiliar people. They, too, were scrutinizing this newcomer.

There were men and women, young and old, all sitting in rows to the left and right of Yan Tu, who was probably discussing something until she, an outsider, arrived.

"These are the people the Demon Lord sent with his protector? They don't seem to have any special skills. Hey little girl, what makes you think you've caught the Demon Lord's eye? Is it just this face? Hahahaha!"

A young boy with red hair spoke up without any politeness, his words full of frivolity and contempt.

Liu Jun glanced at the red-haired boy sitting quite close to the front, tilted his head slightly, and curled the corners of his mouth. Before the boy could finish speaking, Liu Jun appeared in front of him and grabbed his throat tightly with one hand. If he exerted any more force, his throat would be crushed immediately.

The red-haired boy belatedly realized and looked at the woman who had suddenly appeared in front of him with horror. The few people watching the show were also very surprised, some even stood up and looked at her warily. Only Yan Tu, the leader, remained calm and sat firmly in his seat.

The next second, Liu Jun smiled and let go of him, even thoughtfully straightening his collar:

"Do you really think I'm just all talk and no action, someone who can serve the Lord?"

"I underestimate you."

Yan Tu, who was in charge, then spoke up.

Liu Jun turned back to look at Yan Tu, and simply cupped his hands as a greeting: "Guardian, it seems you don't have many capable people around you. I'm not exaggerating, but among those present, apart from you, there is no one who can match me."

An old man sitting in the front row immediately slammed his fist on the table and stood up: "Arrogant!"

Liu Jun glanced at the old man who seemed quite angry and smiled contemptuously, then turned his gaze back to Yan Tu: "Whether it is true or not, the Protector should know, right?"

The old man also glared angrily at Yan Tu, waiting for his explanation.

In terms of both position and strength, Yan Tu is the highest-ranking person here, so not only the old man, but everyone is also waiting for Yan Tu to give an explanation.

Yan Tu is not shrewd and his mind is simple, but strength is strength, and he is the most undeniable existence. This woman has no demonic energy or spiritual power, and her aura is so faint that she doesn't seem like a living being at all. However, the speed she just displayed was something that even he himself could not achieve, and there was no trace of any external assistance. It could only be her own.

She was right. No one present could beat her. Even he himself wasn't entirely confident he could. What kind of being was this unclear thing, which was neither a demon nor a human nor a monster nor a ghost?

The Demon Lord is indeed powerful; he managed to find something like this.

"Alright, today's purpose was to discuss the matter of this trip into the mountains. We've covered most of the details. Silver Demon Envoy will just join one team as a scout, and there's no need to say anything more."

Yan Tu changed the subject, avoiding the main point, but no one knew how much cold sweat had broken out on his back.

The unknown is always frightening.

Liu Jun simply laughed it off and didn't intend to get to the bottom of it.

The old man was furious, and with a cold snort, he sat down angrily.
