In a state of confusion, Kuan Shangtian finally issued a global wanted notice for Guan Yue from Leap Ridge Pavilion. The order demanded the capture of Guan Yue throughout the Dragon Python Celestial Domain, offering a reward of one hundred taels of Golden Red Sand for his live capture and fifty taels for his corpse.
In no time, Guan Yue's portrait appeared across the entire Dragon Python Celestial Domain, and surprisingly, it was Leap Ridge Pavilion, one of the top two factions among the Six Great Halls, that was pursuing him.
Guan Yue himself noticed his portrait displayed at the city gate and in bustling areas. Even some well-known inns and taverns posted the wanted notice from Leap Ridge Pavilion. Many disciples glanced at the notice, and the reward of one hundred taels of Golden Red Sand certainly caught their attention. However, no one specifically sought to capture him, although there were still some opportunists who might ambush him if they discovered his identity, as one hundred taels of Golden Red Sand could accomplish a lot.
Guan Yue had no choice but to change his appearance, disguising himself as a twenty-year-old scholar with a sword. With a sword at his side and dressed like a scholar, he looked quite peculiar.
One day, not having left Seasand City, Guan Yue went to the most famous Spring Breeze Tavern in Seasand City to drink. As he reached the third floor, he suddenly spotted Xiao Wudi, a disciple from the government whom he had once severed an arm. At that moment, Xiao Wudi was arguing with several prominent figures about something.
Guan Yue found an empty table nearby and sat down loudly calling for drinks and food while eavesdropping on what Xiao Wudi was saying.
"Two gentlemen, this Guan Yue wanted by Leap Ridge Pavilion is my enemy. His greatest skill is the Invisibility Technique. This technique, long lost to our demon race, has been acquired by him, which is why he is so audacious. I don't know why he has gone against Leap Ridge Pavilion this time and is being pursued. I suggest we also issue a royal bounty for this person, offering a reward for his live capture just like Leap Ridge Pavilion does. With such a generous reward, there will surely be brave souls willing to act. If we can obtain the long-lost Invisibility Technique from the demon race, then we—ha ha—will be in great fortune."
Xiao Wudi lowered his voice, but Guan Yue still heard him clearly. Xiao Wudi's words stirred excitement among the officials he was addressing.
A middle-aged man with a goatee agreed, "Indeed, the reappearance of the long-lost Invisibility Technique poses a significant challenge for us. It would certainly be detrimental to the safety of the royal family. We can publicly pursue the traitor Guan Yue in the name of the royal family; however, our bounty must be higher than that of Leap Ridge Pavilion to attract someone to bring Guan Yue to us."
A young strongman added, "If we take action, we must significantly increase the bounty. Otherwise, capturing Guan Yue alive will not be easy."
Xiao Wudi said insidiously, "Let’s set the bounty at ten thousand taels; when it comes time to redeem it, we can offer the Invisibility Technique as a reward. That way, no one will have any objections! Ha ha."
The middle-aged man with a goatee chuckled and said, "Xiao brother's plan is brilliant; we can take his bones while boiling his flesh without spending a dime ourselves and end up with Guan Yue while pocketing some bounty. Ha ha! What do you all think?"
The young strongman nodded in agreement: "I think it’s feasible. Anyone capable of capturing Guan Yue must be extraordinary; if they can learn the Invisibility Technique from him, they won’t have to worry about Golden Sand in their future."
Finally, the middle-aged man with a goatee concluded: "In that case, it’s settled. We will pursue Guan Yue in the name of the royal family with a bounty of ten thousand taels of Golden Red Sand for his live capture only! And we want living people—not corpses!"
"Yes, yes! No corpses!"
Guan Yue listened to their conversation and felt furious—no corpses! I'll make you all corpses!
Thus, Guan Yue followed these men closely, intending to eliminate them before they issued their wanted notice. However, they soon split up as they walked away from each other, leaving Guan Yue feeling quite frustrated.
Guan Yue decided to continue tracking Xiao Wudi, as Xiao Wudi was the only one who had seen him in person. That night, Guan Yue attempted to ambush Xiao Wudi. However, eight bodyguards from the Great Dao Realm surrounded Guan Yue, and he barely managed to escape. The ambush was unsuccessful, resulting only in a leg injury to Xiao Wudi.
Guan Yue's actions greatly alarmed the officials who had met with Xiao Wudi that day. Consequently, a Bounty Order issued by the Ocean Harmony Empire was released throughout the empire, stating that capturing Guan Yue alive would earn a reward of ten thousand taels of Golden Red Sand. The accompanying image used was that of Leap Ridge Pavilion, which further frustrated Guan Yue.
Meanwhile, Ruyi Girl, who had entered the Dragon Python Celestial Domain with Guan Yue, was among the strongest in combat power among their group. She managed to land first in the territory of Waydao Empire.
At this moment, she could not care about appearances and made herself look utterly ordinary, resembling a village girl. In the Dragon Python Celestial Domain, she did not dare to act recklessly and had to live cautiously in a remote village while waiting for news from the Western Celestial Law Ancestor.
One day, she came across a series of wanted notices and discovered that Leap Ridge Pavilion had issued a global wanted order. Not only did it specify Guan Yue's name and age, but it also included his image and stated that he was from the Lower Realm. This left Ruyi Girl extremely shocked.
While the heavenly court had not yet located Guan Yue, Leap Ridge Pavilion had already found him and released the wanted order first. Now, Guan Yue was in serious trouble!
Ruyi Girl was unable to protect herself and could not help Guan Yue at all; she could only feel anxious. She hoped that Western Celestial Law Ancestor Mo Tianwei would arrive soon and break through quickly so she could have some means of self-defense. Otherwise, living in constant fear was worse than living freely at the bottom of the sea!
Prior to Guan Yue's entry into the Dragon Python Celestial Domain, Great Wilderness Beast Spirit Lingxiao had entered and immediately broke through to the Breaking the Heavens Realm upon arrival, reaching mid-tier within that realm. If Lu Fang had not previously informed him about the existence of Breaking the Heavens Realm within the Dragon Python Celestial Domain, he would have been completely unaware of it.
After years of accumulation leading to this sudden breakthrough filled him with immense excitement; he finally joined the ranks of powerful beings in the Dragon Python Celestial Domain! Had he known it would be like this, he should have come to the Dragon Python Celestial Domain much earlier instead of staying on Yongning Continent for thousands of years!
In his excitement, he immediately captured a disciple from the Great Dao Realm and asked him to lead the way to Tai Shun Pavilion.
Finding Tai Shun Pavilion was quite easy since there were many branches located throughout various places.
When Lingxiao mentioned that Lu Fang had requested him to convey information, it immediately drew attention from Tai Shun Pavilion's upper management. Within two or three days, senior personnel became particularly concerned about two female disciples from Western and Under the Tree Yingzi who had gone out for training but had since gone missing. Just as they were growing anxious about their situation, news suddenly arrived regarding them; naturally, they were overjoyed. Using a flying ship for transportation, Lingxiao quickly arrived at Tai Shun Pavilion's headquarters and was received by Elder You Guiyang.
Upon seeing Lingxiao as a mid-tier disciple of Breaking the Heavens Realm, You Guiyang was very pleased. In the Dragon Python Celestial Domain, disciples who cultivated into Breaking the Heavens Realm were considered main combat power within their sect; thus, having more such disciples was always better.
Lingxiao reported on Lu Fang and others' current status to Wan Guiyang and informed him that only four out of five remained and there was no route back for them. He also delivered a letter from Lu Fang and his companions to Tai Shun Pavilion.
The letter specifically mentioned Guan Yue. It stated that if this person could not be utilized, he must be eliminated; otherwise, there would be endless troubles ahead. Skoda, Lu Fang, and Under the Tree Yingzi all held this view while Western only briefly mentioned Guan Yue.
Wan Guiyang immediately recalled recent information regarding a wanted individual mentioned by Leap Ridge Pavilion—Guan Yue—who had recently come from the Lower Realm. He ordered someone to bring forth this wanted notice for Lingxiao to confirm.
As soon as Lingxiao saw the image on Leap Ridge Pavilion's wanted notice, he exclaimed: "This is indeed that scoundrel! He deserves death! I must personally see him perish!"
Wan Guiyang felt a shock: "Could it be that Guan Yue truly fears death? How could he offend Leap Ridge Pavilion in such a short time? Perhaps this fellow is quite talented after all. Very well then; we shall issue our own wanted order for his capture alive. Let’s see what this young man possesses that has led Lu Fang, Skoda, and Under the Tree Yingzi to regard him as extraordinary!"
Thus, the Tai Shun Pavilion issued a bounty for Guan Yue, offering a reward of three thousand taels of Golden Red Sand for his capture alive!
Lingxiao was actively searching for Guan Yue, determined to take revenge personally! He still harbored resentment over Guan Yue forcibly expelling him from the Yongning Continent and would not rest until he was dealt with.
Guan Yue lingered in Seasand City with the purpose of finding the Eternal Snow Tree Leaf. He discovered an Auction House in Seasand City similar to the one in Yongning Continent. In the Dragon Python Celestial Domain, it was also called the Auction House.
The Auction House held an auction once a month. During this time, Guan Yue's main task was to raise funds. A significant amount of money was needed to auction the Eternal Snow Tree Leaf.
After some investigation, Guan Yue learned that in the Dragon Python Heaven Domain, disciples did not use Golden Red Sand; instead, they used Spirit Essence, which was formed from the gathering of Heaven and Earth Spiritual Energy! Particularly valuable disciple items could only be exchanged with Spirit Essence; Golden Red Sand could only be used to redeem ordinary medicines and drugs.
Guan Yue did not think too much about it; he could only rely on robbing the rich to help the poor to get through this difficult time.
He set his sights on several wealthy families. These families were very affluent but lacked protection from disciples at the Breaking Heaven realm. Therefore, Guan Yue spent five days scouting and identified two families he was ready to rob.
However, just the night before he planned to take action, as he was preparing to sleep, he suddenly heard whispers coming from the next room, which changed his mind.
"Boss, the Tiger Gate Gang is collecting Golden Red Sand in Haichuan territory and will pass through Sharp Beak Cliff tomorrow. We should ambush them there and deal a heavy blow to the Tiger Gate Gang by stealing their Golden Red Sand."
"Old Seven, is this information reliable?"
"Absolutely reliable! This was told to me by a friend who has inside information. He asked for twenty percent of the spoils once it's done, and I agreed on your behalf. Moreover, their captain, a disciple at the Breaking Heaven realm, has something to attend to tomorrow and won't catch up with their team until the day after. So they only have twelve Great Dao Realm disciples. If we launch a surprise attack and manage to kill four or five of their Great Dao Realm cultivators right away, we will have nine people plus our insider, giving us ten against their eight or nine. We definitely have a chance of winning."
