With the support of the Extreme Speed Wings, Xiao Lingyu's speed immediately soared, leaving behind a series of afterimages with each attack.
With the help of the Extreme Speed Wings, Xiao Lingyu's attacks were a threat to the young true demon cultivator. However, the other party was still able to narrowly avoid the attacks, but it was not as easy as before.
"I don't believe that you can continue to use this kind of movement technique without consuming any energy!"
Although Xiao Lingyu couldn't defeat his opponent in a short period of time, he was relying on his body to fight, so he didn't consume much of his strength. The Wings of Extreme Speed only consumed the Space Force contained within them, so it didn't consume much of Xiao Lingyu's strength. He could fight such a long battle.
The two were deadlocked for about an hour before the other party finally could not hold on any longer. His movements were slightly slower, and he was almost hit by Xiao Lingyu several times.
Knowing that the situation was unfavorable for him, the cultivator turned into a breeze and began to escape.
Unfortunately, Xiao Lingyu had already used the Extreme Speed Wings, so how could the cultivator escape so easily?
After Xiao Lingyu blocked the breeze again, the young cultivator was revealed again. However, this time, he was gasping for breath. His face was pale and his aura was weak. It seemed that he had consumed a lot of energy.
"Alright, let's stop fighting. I'll tell you, okay?"
The other party bent over and waved his hand at Xiao Lingyu.
"If you had told me earlier, you wouldn't have been so tired and I could have saved some time," Xiao Lingyu said noncommittally.
The young cultivator straightened his body and fed himself a pill to recover his energy. After his complexion recovered a little, he asked, "What is your relationship with the bandits of the Demon Scorpion Valley?"
"You don't need to know that. You just need to tell me why you're following me," Xiao Lingyu said indifferently.
"If you have a grudge with those bandits, perhaps we can cooperate once," the young cultivator said.
"Oh? What kind of cooperation? "Xiao Lingyu pretended to be very interested.
"Some time ago, I discovered that the marquis of the Meng Family in Mengzhi City was chasing after a child, and that child was hiding among the bandits in Devil Scorpion Valley. However, after investigating, I found that there was also a True Demon Early Stage cultivator in the Devil Scorpion Valley. In addition, there were also many Devil King Stage bandit leaders. I couldn't go in and rescue them, so I have been guarding outside. If brother works with me, we can definitely heavily injure that true demon primary stage bandit. You can easily deal with those bandits, and I can take the child to get the reward. All the treasures looted by the bandits will belong to you, and I will only go to the Meng Family to receive the reward. This is a win-win situation for us. "The young cultivator suggested with a smile of exultation.
Xiao Lingyu pretended to think for a while before nodding. "That's good. But when we reach the Demonic Scorpion Valley, don't keep using your strange movement technique to dodge instead of fighting head-on."
"Don't worry, bounty hunters like us won't slack off at a critical moment," the young cultivator assured while patting his chest.
"Bounty hunter?" Xiao Lingyu frowned slightly because this term was a bit fresh.
Seeing Xiao Lingyu's strange expression, the young cultivator's eyes flickered. He laughed and said, "It's the kind of person who helps others solve their problems first and then receives the reward."
"Haha, bounty hunter is good. Although it's dangerous, you can choose the target, and you have more freedom than bandits."
Xiao Lingyu responded with a smile, and then continued to go to the Devil Scorpion Valley.
In Xiao Lingyu's view, although this young cultivator's movement technique was strange and his ability was good, he was still not a qualified bounty hunter. This was because the other party's mind seemed to be a bit simple. Not only was it too easy to get the truth, but it was also easy to believe others.
Of course, it was not ruled out that this kid was very good at acting and could deceive Xiao Lingyu.
However, Xiao Lingyu at least knew that the Meng Family of Mengyi City would indeed pursue Zhu Jin. In addition, this was the first time she met this young cultivator, and this kid definitely didn't know her relationship with the bandits of the Devil Scorpion Valley, so Xiao Lingyu had reason to believe that this kid didn't deceive her.
Even if this kid deceived her, Xiao Lingyu had already figured out the other party's background, so she wasn't afraid of this kid's tricks.
The two traveled together, and it only took two cups of tea's time to arrive at the entrance of the Devil Scorpion Valley.
"I'll use my movement technique to sneak into the valley and wait for an opportunity to create chaos. When you see the battle cries inside, just go in and help."
After the young cultivator said this to Xiao Lingyu, he turned into a breeze and floated to the entrance of the valley. On the way here, he had already recovered his cultivation with the help of medicinal pills.
When the young cultivator entered the valley, Xiao Lingyu took out her communication bead and sent a message to Zhu Jin.
Xiao Lingyu only waited for a while before the battle cries came out from the valley. Xiao Lingyu also entered the valley with a smile.
Due to Xiao Lingyu's reminder, the bandits in the valley did not fall into chaos. Instead, they arranged themselves in an orderly formation, surrounding the young cultivator who had transformed into a gentle breeze and was constantly drifting about.
And Cang Ju was also in the encirclement, dealing with the breeze.
Cang Ju wasn't good at speed, so he naturally couldn't do anything to the young cultivator. He could only chase after the breeze with his own body.
The young cultivator was surrounded, and the situation was very unfavorable. However, he was extremely confident in his movement technique, and he felt that he had a strong helper who would come in to help, so he wasn't in a hurry to break out and fight.
Xiao Lingyu arrived in front of the bandits. The bandits all shouted in unison, "Greetings, Boss!"
Many of the bandits saluted in unison. Although the momentum wasn't earth-shattering, it still caused the entire Devil Scorpion Valley to tremble. Even though the young cultivator had poor hearing, he could still hear it clearly.
At first, the young cultivator was a bit suspicious, thinking that there was still an expert hidden among the bandits. However, when he saw Xiao Lingyu greet the bandits with a smile, he could only curse himself in his heart.
At this point, no matter how inexperienced the young cultivator was, he could tell that the other party had been deceiving him. After being tricked, he had jumped into the other party's ambush.
The reason why Xiao Lingyu schemed against the young cultivator was firstly to safely capture him alive, and secondly, she purely wanted to tease this somewhat rash bounty hunter.
In his heart, Xiao Lingyu didn't plan to mercilessly kill the young cultivator because this fellow wasn't a vicious person. Moreover, Xiao Lingyu wanted to learn more about bounty hunters from him.
"You should just surrender. If we fight and we don't control our strength well, I'm afraid you'll lose your life here," Xiao Lingyu shouted loudly.
What Xiao Lingyu didn't expect was that after hearing his words, the young cultivator actually stopped. Then, he withdrew his aura and remained motionless.
Xiao Lingyu frowned slightly. Many of the bandits were also very suspicious. Since this brat had the guts to barge in, why did he give up so easily? Didn't they say that assassins were very courageous? Didn't they say that assassins would rather die than submit?
The young cultivator's reaction left everyone at a loss for a moment.
To be on the safe side, Xiao Lingyu personally walked over and used his power to imprison the young cultivator's cultivation. From the beginning to the end, the young cultivator did not have the slightest intention of resisting or doing anything.
Since the other party was so tactful, Xiao Lingyu was happy to save some trouble. He brought the young cultivator and casually found a secret room to enter.
"Sigh, I'm just a fledgling. I haven't even completed a mission and I'm already captured alive. Why am I so unlucky?"
Although the young cultivator was captured, there wasn't much fear on his face. He just looked a little depressed.
"Why aren't you afraid at all? Aren't you worried that I'll kill you?" Xiao Lingyu asked curiously. He really didn't know where the other party's confidence came from.
"If you wanted to kill me, you would have done so long ago. You wouldn't have brought me here to have a heart-to-heart talk. Moreover, if you really wanted to kill me, it's useless even if I'm afraid. Would you let me go just because I'm afraid? "The young cultivator replied calmly.
"You're quite open-minded." Xiao Lingyu praised with a smile.
"It's useless even if I'm open-minded. I'm just like that. I don't worry about things that are beyond my power. In the current situation, I don't have the power to protect myself. It all depends on your attitude. However, I don't have any secrets here and I don't know where the treasures are hidden. If you want to squeeze something out of me, I'm afraid you'll have to waste your efforts. "The young cultivator shrugged.
"Hehe, I'm not trying to get any treasures from you. I just have a few questions to ask."
Xiao Lingyu responded with a smile and then asked, "What's your name?"
The young cultivator didn't answer. Instead, he asked, "If I cooperate, will you let me go?"
Xiao Lingyu thought for a moment and said, "As long as you answer truthfully, I guarantee that I won't kill you."
The young cultivator nodded and replied, "I'm called Gong He. I have an older brother, Gong Jiang. That's right, this matter doesn't seem to have anything to do with him."
Xiao Lingyu narrowed his eyes and asked cautiously, "What's your older brother's cultivation level now?"
"This matter has nothing to do with him. Let's not drag him into this, okay?" Gong He said, a little embarrassed.
"If it has nothing to do with him, then it has something to do with you. You'd better answer honestly," Xiao Lingyu said seriously.
"Actually, I don't have a good relationship with him. He's always opposed me coming out to be a bounty hunter. He's my older brother and was born hundreds of thousands of years before me. Naturally, his cultivation level is much higher than mine. When I came out, he was at the peak of the mid-stage Spirit Demon Realm. I don't know if he has reached the late-stage Spirit Demon Realm now," Gong He said, seemingly sincere.
"The peak of the mid-stage Spirit Demon Realm!"
Xiao Lingyu, Cang Ju, and the bandit leaders in the room were all shocked. This was because this cultivation level was far beyond theirs.
Xiao Lingyu didn't even dare to face an early-stage Spirit Demon Realm expert. If he faced an expert at the peak of the mid-stage Spirit Demon Realm, he probably wouldn't be able to resist at all.
"With such a strong backing, you still came out to be a bounty hunter?" Zhu Jin asked, seemingly in disbelief.
"Everyone has their own ambitions. I don't want to grow up under my older brother's protection because I'll never be able to withstand the storm. I want to train myself, but I don't want to lose my freedom. I also don't want to be found by my older brother too early, so …"
