Chapter 825: Even Sunmoons Need To Piss Off (2)

This chapter is updated by JustRead.pl

The Soul Expanding Hammer descended. Su Yu also reached out and snapped a random neck he caught. In the blink of an eye, only one out of the four Skysoars was left.

Looking at the final survivor, Su Yu asked, "Is this interesting? Do you have that list of bounties? Show it to me. Am I only worth a thousand points?"

Were they looking down on him? As a top-tier weaponsmith, if he wasn't worth tens of thousands of points, the bounty should at least reach five digits, right? Only a thousand points? Were they insulting him?

"Lord...I..."

Su Yu kicked the cultist's head apart without waiting. He searched the bodies around him before burning them all away, leaving nothing behind. By the time he was done with everything, he was holding a jade talisman in hand.

And there was indeed a bounty ranking inside the talisman. The pictures of the wanted individuals were also provided.

Sunmoon Kill List

Xia Longwu: Peak ninth-stage Sunmoon, pseudo Invincible, Sky Sundering Saber...

Reward: Three million contribution points, a hundred drops of sunmoon profound yellow liquid, one heaven-grade weapon, one Eternal inheritance, one heaven-grade cultivation method...

Even Su Yu was tempted to go and cut Xia Longwu down.

Xia Longwu sure was valuable. His bounty started at three million points. Additionally, there were numerous other rewards, such as the sunmoon yellow profound liquid that was extremely helpful for the advancement of Sunmoons.

Xia Longwu was ranked first on the list of Sunmoons. Anyone capable of killing him would probably be set for life. Of course, it was more likely that anyone attempting to claim this bounty would have no need to worry about anything else anymore. Why? Because they would be dead.

Second on the list was Zhou Polong with generous rewards for his head as well. Third on the list was Qin Zhen of Great Qin.

Not all thirty-six prefects were on this list. Only about seven or eight of them were there. Su Yu couldn't help but shake his head when he thought about the other prefects. How embarrassing must it be if he was one of these perfects who couldn't even get onto the wanted list? They were so worthless that not even the myriad races cared if they were dead or alive.

Great Ming's Zhu Tiandao was on the list as well. Good for him. However, he wasn't on the list because of his threat level. Rather, he was only there as a form of revenge after he got five Sunmoon cultists killed.

The list was quite detailed with all sorts of information about the targets provided. Of course, most of the names here were unrealistic to aim for. It was way too hard to kill a prefect.

Su Yu continued reading the list. Before long, his eyes changed.

Xia Yunji: High-stage Mountainsea. Unknown combat strength.

Reward: A hundred thousand contribution points, three drops of sunmoon yellow profound liquid, one earth-grade weapon, one heaven-grade secret technique...

Zhao Mingyue: High-stage Mountainsea...

People like Zhao Mingyue, Xia Yunji, and Hu Ping were all on the list. Natually, Hong Tan and Liu Wenyan were there as well.

Even Chen Yong was there. And he was worth more than Xia Yunji.

According to the list, he was a high-stage Mountainsea with unknown combat strength. It was possible that he had the combat strength of a peak Mountainsea. That was the judgment they had reached from the many murders committed by Chen Yong. As for Chen Yong's so-called recent breakthrough, who knew if that was the case? Perhaps he had been hiding his true cultivation level all along.

Su Yu continued reading. When he reached the Skysoar list, he saw his own name at the very top of the list.

Su Yu: Ninth-stage Skysoar, combat strength of a seventh-stage Cloudbreach

Reward: Eight hundred thousand contribution points, thirty drops of sunmoon profound yellow liquid. Double the rewards if captured alive.

Su Yu laughed smugly. Just look at his bounty! He was worth a lot, especially when captured alive. In fact, he was only slightly cheaper than Xia Longwu and the others! He was basically worth as much as those pseudo Invincibles! He was worth as much as the likes of Zhu Tiandao!

The second person on the Skysoar list was actually Shan Xiong.

And he was quite expensive as well. But of course, there was no comparing him and Su Yu. Nevertheless, he was worth as much as some Mountainseas. A bounty of a hundred thousand contribution points was attached to his head. Three hundred thousand contribution points would be rewarded to those capable of bringing his character in.

How impressive.

"Shan Xiong..."

Su Yu smirked. That fellow would probably not dare to roam around anymore after this. This was quite an attractive bounty. Eventually, he even saw Bai Feng's name on the list.

Bai Feng: Seventh-stage Skysoar, combat strength near the Cloudbreach Realm

Reward: Thirty thousand contribution points. Double the reward if captured alive.

"Teacher will probably consider selling himself to the cult if he finds out about this bounty. He is actually worth sixty thousand points alive. This is a pretty decent price."

Before long, Su Yu withdrew his attention from the list and gazed ahead at the distant Great Wu. He sighed inwardly. This was a chaotic place. Sure enough, not even the cult was afraid of a prefecture that had lost its Invincible.

He had just stepped into Great Wu yet he had already encountered several Skysoar cultists. For him, Skysoars were nothing. But that wasn't exactly an easy realm to enter. Back when the Divine Skywing Sect attacked Nanyuan, they only had several Skysoars to spare.

But he had actually encountered five of them right after entering Great Wu. The kill character started stirring. Clearly, killing was very beneficial for this character. After removing all traces of battle, Su Yu rode off into the distance.

He did not enter any of the Great Wu cities. Instead, he stuck to the wilderness and moved around the cities. Compared to the routes from Great Xia to Great Ming, the wilderness of Great Xia was clearly a lot more chaotic.

Every merchant caravan he encountered along the way traveled in large numbers. In fact, each group would have more than a hundred members. These traveling caravans were the easiest way one could judge whether a place was safe or not.

Great Xia might be chaotic nowadays, but in the past, a caravan could travel safely with only seven or eight people in the group, including a Skysoar. At times, they could even travel under the protection of Infinite Strength cultivators. Most of the time, they would only encounter some insignificant bandits.

Large groups of powerful cultists could barely be found in Great Xia. Most of these powerful cultists would flee as far as they could from Great Xia instead of committing crimes there.

As for Great Ming, their Invincible was still around. With the relatively strict control inside Great Ming and the recent addition of the Strength Guard, Great Ming was quite safe nowadays as well. In fact, after losing five Sunmoons there not long ago, Great Ming had nearly turned into a forbidden zone for the cultists.

***

Su Yu continued traveling rapidly.

After about a day, he left Great Wu and entered Great Yuan's borders. This was a powerful prefecture, so he encountered less bandits after entering Great Yuan.

Su Yu continued sticking to the wilderness. He was aware that traveling in this manner might incite some suspicion if he was noticed, but he didn't feel like wasting his time traveling through city after city.

Cui Lang was the type of person who would stay in each city he entered for a few days. Thus, Su Yu would probably need to waste at least three months per prefecture if he traveled normally. A year would have passed by the time he reached the Allheaven Prefecture.

In fact, this was how Cui Lang had acted in the past. That was how he had been able to spend years traveling. He would frequently stay in the larger cities for half a year or even a year at a time.

Su Yu was unwilling to waste so much time. If people were going to be suspicious, so be it. He was sure nobody was tailing him. If someone was really tailing him without being detected by his jade, that person was most definitely an Invincible.

If an Invincible wanted to kill him, it wouldn't matter if the Invincible suspected him of something or not. At present, three Invincibles were already aware of his disguise. He would be absolutely helpless if they wanted to kill him.

***

He departed on the night of the 8th. On the night of the 11th, he finally reached the border of Great Jin. Three days had passed.

The Heart Calming Spring could be found inside Great Jin. After asking around, Su Yu learned that the so-called Heart Calming Spring was a natural grotto that had been formed by nature itself. It was generally useless, but it allowed one to cleanse one's mind and remove the stench of blood from one's body.

A lot of soldiers and commanders would visit this place after returning from the battlefield. The Heart Calming Spring was open for even those who were not the citizens of Great Jin. Thus, they received frequent visits from the various experts of humanity. They had even founded a Heart Calming City around the spring. This spring was one of the main sources of income for Great Jin. One had to pay to enter, but it wasn't expensive. One only needed to pay ten merit points.

That might seem like nothing for the current Su Yu, but that was actually very expensive for most people. Each year, Great Jin could earn hundreds of thousands of merit points from this spring alone.

And the visitors of the spring would also need to stay in the city and spend more money there. Some might even end up buying a property or two in the city. Thus, including the additional expenses from these visitors, the Heart Calming City would bring Great Jin millions of merit points each year.

From this, one could see just how valuable the spring was. The first youth Su Yu had killed in Nanyuan was the son of a general from Great Jin Army. That was the sole son of a Sunmoon expert.
