Chapter 172: Foreign Assassins Will Soon Arrive at the Battlefield (3K for monthly tickets) !

Translator: 549690339

Mu Yuan logged into the Tai Xuan forum and found numerous bounty information.

Some bounties had been up for ten or twenty years and still existed.

This was normal. The Eternal World was so vast, with great distances between cities. As long as a wanted criminal hid somewhere within it, they could evade numerous manhunts. Not to mention, these bounty targets could leave Tai Xuan Alliance and head to neutral areas, such as Jupo City.

There were also some blacklisted players who might have died within some unknown comers, so their bounty remained for ten or twenty years.

Mu Yuan found the bounty information for Giant Hand Scar and Baimian Shusheng.

The former had led bandits, looted and destroyed an entire player territory before vanishing.

The latter committed multiple crimes in Lanxing Profound Country using supernatural power. He escaped to the border area during the pursuit by a capture team and disappeared into the Eternal World.

The other few on the wanted list were not ‘strong’ individuals with high bounties.

They were on the wanted list but were not bountied. Their heads could only be exchanged for the basic level of 20,000 Soul Sand.

“They’re quite poor, huh.”

“No, I’m really drifting off, earning 20k Soul Sand used to take so much work!”

Even now, without special income, he would have to spend one and a half days in Tianyuan Territory to earn this much money.

It’s all hard-earned money.

Moreover,

The four basic wanted criminals totalled 8ok of Soul Sand, Baimian Shusheng 320k, Scar 400k, this added up to a whopping 800k of Soul Sand.

A huge amount! Super huge!

Any rewards, equipment, treasure maps were nothing compared to this amount of Soul Sand.

Even the profits earned from selling loads of crystal corn and Snake Scale Fruits did not compare to the bounties they claimed.

So, pretending to be weaker to lure in wanted criminals was the real way to earn money!

Although he hadn’t intended to pretend to be weaker, Sophia and the others were too inexperienced. They really looked like pigs. Of course, so did Mr. Mu.

Aside from having Epic Generals, numerous Excellence troops, felling Attendant Ascendants, reigning the entire Festival Grounds and chit-chatting happily with the bosses, he was just an ordinary civilian player.

These heads in the eyes of the people were like glittering gems, they were afraid to drop them.

“But, how are we going to collect these bounties? Should we return to Shiling Town to exchange them? I saw the bounty exchange counter in the association before,” Sophia asked.

Mu Yuan shook his head, “That’s not appropriate.”

Originally, Sophia’s group was quite noticeable, hence they ran into two groups of bandits. If they were to exchange the bounties in Shiling Town, they might draw more attention and put themselves in danger.

He looked at Duo Lai, “You hold these heads and head to Pan Shi City to exchange them, I will have two Storm Falcons assist you.”

Duo Lai opened its eyes wide, not feeling troubled at all. It loved this kind of errands!

Even if this small amount of money… the large sum of money had to be handed over to the lord, it was still a happy thing to pass through its hands.

“Let’s not waste time, you guys should set off soon.”

One Duo Lai and two birds immediately took off.

Although he was unclear of the location of Pan Shi City, he could estimate its location by comparing it with Shiling Town. With Duo Lai’s combat power, flying speed, and ability to keep alive, this journey was not dangerous.

General Duo Lai had already set off.

Lu Liu and the others quickly returned.

In the afternoon of that day, Guangyuan Merchant Group, who went out for the first time, returned to Tianyuan Territory, saving a third of the time they spent going there.

Not long after their arrival, Duo Lai, with its wings – transformed by the Ever-changing Badge – fluttering, descended from the sky and made a formal bow, “General Duo Lai accomplished the mission-!”

It stretched out its hand, and a hollow appeared on its palm.

Rattle

One after another, beautiful Soul Crystals dropped down. There were hundreds of them piled like a small hill.

We have money now.

Mu Yuan was very emotional. He immediately gave Duo Lai, Lu Liu, Sophia and others a bonus, erm, symbolically. The amount was not much.

After all, Tianyuan Territory currently adopted the ‘Three Meals Policy’, which included meals, accommodation, and cultivation. There would be reforms in the future, but the territory was just starting out. Everyone didn’t have much money, and there were no places to spend money within the territory.

The only place that could be considered a ‘luxury venue’ was the territory’s large bathhouse.

With a significant sum of Soul Crystals at hand, Mu Yuan started thinking about purchasing Remnant Souls.

He had to start from reality.

The marketplace at Shiling Town is indeed richer than the Baijiang Market, but if you want to purchase in large quantities, you still need to rely on reality or intermediary realms like ‘Elf’s Courtyard’.

He plans to start with a major chamber of commerce, buying a large number of Militia’s Remnant Souls in order to push Isloa up to the Epic Tier as soon as possible.

Would this attract attention?

Perhaps it would, but not too much.

After all, the Sacrificial Black Coffin can devour the remains of monsters to produce Remnant Souls, there are naturally some items or structures that benefit from ‘Sacrificing Remnant Souls’.

He just needs to choose a reliable chamber of commerce.

“I heard Old Brother Mai Wa has a good standing in the One-Handed Chamber of Commerce, I can ask him about the market.”

With this thought, Mu Yuan ‘biu’ returned to Lanxing, plugged his phone, which was left unused for several days and only had 9% battery left, into the charger, then flipped it open to take a look. 𝒻𝓻𝘦𝑒𝓌𝑒𝓫𝓷𝑜𝓋𝘦𝓵.𝓬𝘰𝓂

There were already 999+ unread messages from the Baijiang Tenglong Group. With no pressure of trials and life-and-death survival, the newcomers were indeed more relaxed and active.

He opened the chat and found messages mentioning all members.

The messages were sent by ‘Vice President Chen’, another vice president in the association. The Vice President of Jiang Cheng, it was said, had been transferred to a key location and hadn’t shown up in Baijiang for a long time.

Vice President Chen Henue,” Everyone, please take note. As the Dragon Court Competition between our Tai Xuan and Shen Yao, Yongxing, and other nations enters the preparation stage, there will be a lot of spies from the Shen Yao Empire infiltrating our Tai Xuan during this period. You guys’ territories are all on the outermost edge of the alliance, so please be vigilant, and report any irregularities immediately.”

After a pause, the Vice President continued,” Of course, the Tai Xuan Alliance is massive, infiltration by spies is only a small probability event. But relatively speaking, your territories are just starting with relatively weak defenses, so remember to first keep yourselves safe once you encounter them. The alliance will also provide you with the most timely support.”

Spies from the Shen Yao Empire?

From the Vice President, he learned that the main task of the spies is to probe the whereabouts of territories like ‘Wuji’ and ‘Kong Ming’, and conduct harassment and assassination.

In the Dragon Court Competition, each nation could only send ‘New Star Lords’ to participate. This was stipulated in the contract and notarized by the ‘Holy Griffon Empire’.

But no one said that they couldn’t cause destruction outside the competition.

If they could severely wound or assassinate a competitor from a certain country before the competition begins, they could easily gain an advantage. At the very least, they could cause some destruction and chaos within the alliance.

The competition is after all, about the nation’s comprehensive power!

Infiltration, spying, assassination, it all started long ago. But as the Dragon Court Competition draws near, the intensity will increase.

There will be more foreign assassins infiltrating from the edge of the Tai Xuan Alliance.

They, the new Star Lords, are just insignificant minnows caught up in the chaos.

“Other people might just be caught up, but for me, it might not be the case. The spies from Shen Yao Empire definitely wouldn’t mind trying to locate the Tianyuan Territory while causing destruction. If I get discovered…”

Holy crap, it’s too dangerous!

From today onwards, I must double my efforts in patrolling the territory!

As for the ‘Dragon Court Competition’? Mu Yuan has heard a little about it. He first heard it from the Vice President of Jiang Cheng, Boss Jiang, who told him casually, “Work hard, there might be a chance for you to fight for our nation in the future.”

But besides that, he didn’t know much about the Dragon Court Competition.

He wasn’t the only one curious. Many were asking a lot of questions, like Mr. Tan.

Mu Yuan slowly scrolled up, taking in the chat.

Vice President Chen: “Those who can participate in the Dragon Court Competition, are all distinguished individuals, they are the most outstanding lords from the Tai Xuan Alliance over the last few years. Not only do they bring glory to the country, participants also receive considerable cultivation from the alliance.”

“Put it this way, once the participants have been selected, they can enter various top-level Advanced Realms to study, greatly improving their strength and base. If they can win resources for our country, the rewards from the alliance will definitely not be stingy.”

Mr. Tan: [Yearning.jpg]

Mr. Tan: “Uncle Chen, how are the participants chosen? Do we have a chance?”

Vice President Chen laughed, “Selection for the Dragon Court Competition is based on the records of the naturally occurring realm ‘Challenge Land’. This realm is a top-level challenge realm, where many senior Lords will continuously challenge, proving themselves and also gaining natural gifts through passing the levels.”

“However, for you guys, this seems pretty far-fetched. Try hard, in the next round of slightly lesser competitions, there’s no way you guys cannot win glory for the country. As for this year, the Dragon Court Competition, is a battlefield for young people like Wuji and Kong Ming.”

Mr. Tan: “Wait, what about Tianyuan? Big Boss Tianyuan dominated all foes in the Festival Grounds, showing an invincible posture.”

Vice President Chen: “We generally believe that Tianyuan will be able to rule the battlefield in the next Dragon Court Competition with an invincible posture, but… Tianyuan is too young this year. Even if his potential is limitless, his own combat power and his generals’ combat power are far from matching Kong Ming and Wuji, which is a bit frustrating.”

“Even though Tianyuan has already recruited the top-tier heroine ‘Star Queen’, her level is still a lot lower. Furthermore, one person can’t support the whole situation, however strong a single individual is. You were talking about Lord Wuji? He indeed does not have any outstanding generals, but the troops and elites of his territory are not weak at all. Otherwise, how could he be considered as one of the most promising New Stars.”

After reading the chat records, Mu Yuan let out a long sigh.

He knows his own worth, and does not delude himself into thinking that he is comparable to the likes of Lords Wuji and Kong Ming in terms of comprehensive power. His strength lies in his potential, and although Wuji and these lords also have high potential, they have already actualized it by half.

However, he did generate a thought to try and contest, to give it a go.

At least to see the gap.

“But the premise to try is to get into the ‘Challenge Land’, where can I go to burst out the key to this top-level realm?

“I heard that many powerful players have been desperately hoping for a key but to no avail.”

Mu Yuan looked melancholy at the moon outside the window, letting out a soft sigh-
