“I’ll take it back to drink.”
Lin Yuan packed the tea along with the cup into his bundle.
The hunchbacked old man was taken aback upon seeing this but dared not say more.
If Lin Yuan could kill the Yunshan Eighteen Thieves with such ease, even if he was not at the level of the Witch Emperor, he must be close to it. Even in a place like the Capital where strong figures were many, he would be capable of commanding respect.
“Blood Rain Tea comes from the Blood Rain Tea Tree, which is a heritage object of the Xueyu Ancient Country, existing ever since the Ancient Country was founded.”
“Drinking Blood Rain Tea can slowly improve one’s physique, and it’s also beneficial for cultivation over a long period.”
Thinking Lin Yuan was interested in the Blood Rain Tea, the hunchbacked old man immediately began to introduce it.
“Blood Rain Tea Tree?”
Lin Yuan memorized this name, considering that if its “leaves” contained a mysterious aura, then the Blood Rain Tea Tree as the source must be similar to the Bronze Compass, an “oddity” capable of resisting the dimensional suppression of the Two-dimensional World.
“Here is the seventy million witch crystals reward.”
The hunchbacked old man swiftly produced a witchcrystal note, issued by the twelve kingdoms’ bank and “universally accepted.”
“We’re even.” Lin Yuan nodded and took the witchcrystal note.
“Would you be interested in joining us at the Xueyu Tavern? With your strength, just by joining, you would become a Grade A member of the Tavern, enjoying priority in taking on bounties, and even higher commission rewards,” the hunchbacked old man said immediately.
The Xueyu Tavern could issue any bounty, taking a cut from the bounty to sustain its daily operations.
For example, the bounty for the Yunshan Eighteen Thieves was as high as seventy million, but in reality, the Xueyu Tavern took at least twenty million witch crystals as its cut.
That is to say, by joining the Xueyu Tavern, Lin Yuan would receive a reward of ninety million witch crystals.
“I’ll think about it.” Lin Yuan had no intention of joining the Tavern but did not reject the offer outright.
The hunchbacked old man stood up to see Lin Yuan off.
Only after Lin Yuan’s figure had disappeared did he return and sit down again.
a man with white hair and beard appeared beside the hunchbacked old man.
“Master of the Tavern,” the man with white hair exclaimed, “The bounty for the Yunshan Eighteen Thieves has been claimed?”
“Yes,” the hunchbacked old man nodded.
The white-haired man was curious.
The Yunshan Eighteen Thieves were cautious and crafty; there had been Witch Emperor-level figures who tried to catch them in the past, but often they would escape before the Witch Emperor-level figures even arrived.
To the outside world, the Yunshan Eighteen Thieves seemed to have almost a terrifying intuition, often able to sense danger ahead of time and take the most prudent escape route.
“Unclear,” the hunchbacked old man shook his head.
“Unclear?” The white-haired man was even more astonished.
Such a strong individual, and even the well-informed hunchbacked old man had no idea?
“Is it not very normal that I don’t know, given how vast this World is?” the hunchbacked old man glanced at the white-haired man and, after a moment of thought, continued, “I guess he must be a strong figure from outside the Xueyu Ancient Country.”
Inside the Xueyu Ancient Country, the hunchbacked old man considered himself quite knowledgeable, but he knew nothing about Lin Yuan. The only possibility was that Lin Yuan came from outside the Xueyu Ancient Country.
The bounty for the Yunshan Eighteen Thieves could be taken up not only by the strong figures within the Xueyu Ancient Country but also by those from other Ancient Countries, triggering widespread attention.
“Let’s stop here with this matter,”
“Do not mention that strong figure any further,” the hunchbacked old man stood up and said, “Also, take down the bounty for the Yunshan Eighteen Thieves.”
Since the Yunshan Eighteen Thieves were already dead, there was no need for the bounty to remain.
The white-haired man was startled inside but responded with respect immediately.
deep in the primordial jungle,
the valley where the Yunshan Eighteen Thieves had once holed up.
Over a dozen figures appeared there.
“According to the information, the Yunshan Eighteen Thieves should have made a brief stop here,” said one of the sharp-eyed men in a low voice.
They were bounty hunters who roamed among the twelve Ancient Countries, specializing in hunting those with lucrative bounties.
They were recently focused on the Yunshan Eighteen Thieves because, after all, a bounty of seventy million, plus the treasures that the Eighteen Thieves had looted from the Prince of the Northern Town’s treasury.
Such a huge fortune was enough to attract their pursuit.
“A battle took place here.”
At that moment, a chubby man, after observing carefully for a while, suddenly spoke up.
The others were slightly stunned.
Could it be that someone had beaten them to it?
the chubby man corrected, “a slaughter.”
everyone exchanged looks of puzzlement.
A battle and a slaughter,
although only one word apart,
meant entirely different things.
who slaughtered whom?
“The Yunshan Eighteen Thieves should be almost all dead,”
the chubby man continued to scrutinize the subtle traces left at the scene, finally coming to a conclusion, “Among the eighteen, one fled in that direction, while the other seventeen are dead.”
“The attack must have been carried out by a single person,”
the chubby man said in a calm tone,
but the brutality and terror he implied were palpable.
Everyone imagined a fearsome scene: a strong figure suddenly appearing just outside this valley, then one by one, the Yunshan Eighteen Thieves fell dead. Despite any resistance they might have attempted along the way, escape from death was unlikely.
In the end, one of the Yunshan Eighteen Thieves managed to flee in that direction while the rest were being slaughtered.
The chubby man glanced in that direction and set off after the trail.
at the base of an ancient tree, the chubby man came to a stop.
