Jin Lie was driving, Xia Shi sat in the passenger seat, Bai Xiao and Jiang Jing sat in the back. The core disciples all used one car for travel.
Next to him, Jiang Jing asked Bai Xiao about the battle with some excitement.
Bai Xiao responded intermittently, his main attention on his cellphone. It was a group notification from the Huaisui City Martial Arts Association’s chat group.
"Starting tomorrow, all Martial Arts Association members will be free to hunt and capture Void Realm Creatures that have strayed into Huaisui City. The following bonus points will be doubled from the usual. In addition, the Martial Arts Association has appointed professional hunters, a total of thirty people, whose names are as follows..."
Bai Xiao saw his own name on the list.
This was his request, because appointed hunters would get their bonus points quadrupled, making it four times the usual amount. These internal personnel were all true experts, and they had to achieve results within a short time.
Otherwise, their qualifications would be revoked.
Bai Xiao participated because he felt that being officially appointed as a hunter might offer certain benefits in terms of professional experience.
After all, there’s no penalty for a misstep. If he’s right, he would make a fortune.
Bai Xiao got distracted for a moment.
With a ding, a message came through.
One tap, and he was in the chat interface.
Chen Liao: You kid just wait, the Sect Leader is very pleased with your performance this time. When you return to headquarters, you’ll definitely be rewarded. I’ve already hinted and inquired for you, it’s an Elixir, one of Yan Laoqi’s treasured elixirs! Hahaha...
Chen Liao: It’s definitely something great, you hit the jackpot this time!

Bai Xiao felt a slight joy in his heart and quickly sent a message back.
As he was responding, the convoy had already started, gradually leaving the area where the Martial Arts Association was located. The subtle engine sound accompanied them along the way.
He tapped on his cellphone, having just finished typing a message.
He sent it off, but suddenly noticed it was still spinning at the end.
"Hmm? Bad connection?"
Bai Xiao pulled down the status bar, indeed there was no internet connection.
Pulling it back up, he saw a red exclamation mark next to the chat interface.
He lifted his head, his brow slightly furrowed.
The next second, Bai Xiao felt his brain dull for an instant. His consciousness rapidly receded, as if he had fallen into a dream state.
The sounds around him became muffled, as if through a window, completely indistinct. His vision was also as though shrouded by gauze, seemingly with golden-red flames leaping and burning fiercely, spreading voraciously over the buildings on both sides of the street.
The sky above turned dim, as if they had entered a mountain tunnel.
The car abruptly came to an emergency stop, its tires fiercely screeching black marks on the ground. It seemed to be trying to prevent hitting something ahead.
However, in the next second, with a bang.
That thing actively slammed into them!
The front half of the sedan exploded instantly, parts and flames flying everywhere.
Four figures, with a whoosh, burst out of the windows.
Bai Xiao landed on his feet, his eyes sharply fixed on what was ahead.
"Is this the Deep World!?"
In the distance, figures in black robes rapidly approached. The sound of their cloak hems flapping in the wind was like the ghastly wailing of ghosts and wolves, full of grievances and lamentations.
Within the encirclement,
A formidable shadow moved with each step, each flicker.
The figure seemed to teleport, arriving with incredible speed.
A sense of danger surged to the skies.
It was like a deep blue wave, over ten meters high, crashing over with a roar and vibration, leaving no room to breathe.
A pair of bloody red eyes slowly lit up under the pitch-black hood.
The person in the black robe scanned Bai Xiao and the other three, as if looking at lambs in a pen waiting to be slaughtered, consuming their flesh and blood was nothing simpler. A morbid smile crossed his lips, ghastly and ferocious.
"To think I would encounter you tasty little things..."
"I love torturing the weak the most!"
