Chapter 1369: Chapter 871: Mo Wentian 3

The young sect leader also wouldn’t, after all, what he wanted was this Hundred Demons Coffin Clothes on himself, and he couldn’t bear to be killed by others and have his treasure taken away.

Suddenly, Yang Xiao frowned, a dead person appeared in his mind.

Elder Pu.

He understood immediately, knowing who had offered such a high bounty for him.

It was Yiling Academy.

More precisely, it was the Dharma Sect behind Yiling Academy.

His group destroyed the secret camp of the Dharma Sect, rescued the former dean of Yiling Academy, Sheng Yanlin, killed over a hundred members of the Dharma Sect, and even took down a city lord, taking away the opponent’s protective magical artifact. If it were Yang Xiao in their place, he would have considered it a failure not to dig up the other party’s ancestral grave overnight.

Similarly, the Dharma Sect felt the same, harboring intense hatred for Yang Xiao. Previously, he was under the protection of the Esoteric Sect, and the Dharma Sect could do nothing to him. But now that he’s returned to the country, they issued a high bounty directly, planning to use the martial arts world’s forces to eliminate him.

The attitude towards Yang Xiao is the same for both the Dharma Sect and Yiling Academy; they both want Yang Xiao dead.

But he is a member of the Patrol Defense Office among the three major forces, and a director-level figure at that, so Yiling Academy dared not act openly, thus resorting to such tactics.

Regarding Yang Xiao’s suspicions, the Second Demon Taoist also felt he was likely right. This group of people could send assassins to wipe out Qiu Huai De’s family, which shows the extent of their craziness.

As expected, these petty people showed their true colors; without the late Dean Sheng Yanlin overseeing matters, Yiling Academy had utterly fallen into decay. The current dean, Sheng Jingxuan, and his grandson, Sheng Youjun, were worthless.

Yang Xiao also noticed that although Yiling Academy still bore the name of Upper Three Bookshops, its reputation and influence in the martial arts world were far behind the other two academies.

Even Sheng Jingxuan, the strongest currently in the academy, was nothing more than a jumping clown in the eyes of truly powerful figures like the Second Demon Uncle, who continually looked down upon him.

The Second Demon Uncle had even declared that if that Pseudo Realm Sheng Jingxuan dared to come to Xiang Ma Town to make trouble, he would take action to keep him there.

In this world, strength is still paramount. In the eyes of the Second Demon Uncle, Sheng Jingxuan wouldn’t even have the chance to escape, completely outmatched.

"Junior Brother, you don’t need to worry too much; these bounty orders are new and haven’t been issued yet, plus your hotel won’t send them out," introduced Senior Brother Qingfeng.

Upon hearing this, Yang Xiao felt grateful and bowed to the Second Demon Uncle and Daoist Qingfeng, "Thank you, Uncle. Thank you, Senior Brother Qingfeng."

Unexpectedly, Daoist Qingfeng waved his sleeve and shook his head, "No need to thank me, this has nothing to do with me. It’s the hotel’s regulation. The Peace Hotel only places bounties on people in the martial arts world and generally does not place bounties on people from the three major forces, especially those from your Patrol Defense Office’s staff."

"Understood, the hotel also doesn’t want to cause trouble." Yang Xiao nodded. ƒгeeweɓn૦vel.com

"Yes, but while that may be so, you should still be careful when you return. Although the hotel won’t issue the bounty, it still exists, and many people will undoubtedly see it through other channels," Qingfeng advised.

"A magic artifact rated close to a half-step Netherworld Level is enough to drive many masters crazy. Ordinarily, people wouldn’t dare to provoke you, but if someone does dare, setting aside those reckless ones, the rest will surely have some skill."

"Especially those with power levels surpassing the middle Ghost Level, reaching the upper Ghost Level, or even the peak of the Ghost Level. These envoys, many of whom lack handy magic artifacts, might take the leap."

"I understand." Yang Xiao took a deep breath, fully understanding what this bounty meant for him.

But he wasn’t entirely without recourse. He would promptly report this matter to the Provincial Office, as issuing a bounty on a Patrol Defense Office deputy director was no small matter.

Following the trail back to the person who issued the bounty order, he was curious to see how Yiling Academy would explain.

If they threw Sheng Youjun under the bus as a scapegoat, Yang Xiao dared to block the gates of Yiling Academy and strike Sheng Youjun down.

He just did not want a direct confrontation with Yiling Academy for the time being, as the timing was not right. But if they considered him an easy target and repeatedly attempted to kill him, then Yang Xiao was not to be trifled with either.

He would show Yiling Academy what the Ming Emperor Night Owl of Yu Yuan Sect could do!

This would not disrupt Elder Sheng’s plans anyway, as the Dharma Sect’s intelligence would also be shared with Yiling Academy, and both sides were almost plainly obvious now.

As long as Yiling Academy wasn’t foolish, they must also know that Old Monster Pu was killed by them, but with Yiling Academy wronged first, they wouldn’t dare to speak up and would have to swallow this unjust loss.

"This time, when you returned from the Yin Temple, you brought back some magic artifacts. Show them to me,"

the Second Demon Uncle spoke dully, the figure seated behind the curtain hardly moved. Since Yang Xiao knew his uncle, he had always maintained this posture.

Yang Xiao focused his mind, activating the Soul-Capturing Mirror, and in the next second, the Mirror Ghost appeared in the chamber.

Yang Xiao controlled the Mirror Ghost to reveal the armor, and as the dim light flowed over the armor, the Second Demon Uncle uncharacteristically nodded, "Not bad, it’s a good thing."

"Uncle, this is the protective magical artifact of the Demon Sect Vajra, one of the Nine Great City Lords of the Dharma Sect," Yang Xiao truthfully introduced.

"Him?"

"You know of him?" Yang Xiao was somewhat surprised since this place was far from the Dharma Sect’s reach. freёwebnovel.com

"Yes, the man has quite a reputation. It’s said that he possesses strength close to the Half-step Nether Realm, and relying on his suite of protective magical artifacts, he could withstand the Netherworld Envoy without defeat."
