After walking around the hall on the first floor of the Bounty Hunter Branch, Xiao Lingyu arrived in front of the counter.
"Is there anything I can help you with?" The beautiful female cultivator behind the counter politely asked Xiao Lingyu.
"I want to issue a mission," Xiao Lingyu calmly replied.
"What mission? Let me record it for you, "the female cultivator asked again.
"I'm currently being chased by a Demon Monarch. I want to ask the Bounty Hunter Branch to dispatch an expert to help me block that Demon Monarch. As long as I can leave the Liuhong Continent through the transportation formation, the mission will be considered complete," Xiao Lingyu said in a deep voice after thinking for a moment.
"Demon Monarch?" The female cultivator seemed a little surprised.
"Yes, the Demon Monarch. Can't you issue this mission?" Xiao Lingyu nodded and asked.
"You can issue it, but …" The female cultivator clearly hadn't recovered from her shock.
"But what?" Xiao Lingyu asked again.
"But there may not be anyone who dares to accept this mission. Currently, I haven't heard of any Senior Hunters coming to the Liuhong Continent. I'm afraid it will be very difficult for anyone to accept your mission in a short period of time," the female cultivator said with a troubled expression.
"Hehe, this mission doesn't have a time limit. I can wait in Liuhong City for a while longer," Xiao Lingyu said with a smile.
"In that case, I can issue this mission for you. However, to invite a Senior Hunter Branch Bounty Hunter to take action, you will need at least a thousand demonic crystals as a reward …"
"There are a thousand five hundred demonic crystals here. That should be enough, right?"
Before the female cultivator could finish speaking, Xiao Lingyu had already thrown a storage pouch onto the counter.
The female cultivator carefully held the storage pouch in her hand and used her demonic sense to examine it. She nodded and said, "Your mission will appear on the wall in a moment. Please wait a moment."
Then, the female cultivator took out a jade tablet and placed it on the counter, saying, "Please leave a strand of your soul imprint here. If a Senior Hunter accepts the mission, your soul imprint will be transferred to his communication magic treasure. At that time, he will be able to contact you and help you safely leave the Liuhong Continent."
Xiao Lingyu nodded and sent a strand of her soul imprint into the jade token. Then, she left the counter and waited quietly in the hall.
Not long after, Xiao Lingyu saw her mission appear on the left wall. She was very satisfied when she saw the bounty hunters in the hall pointing at her mission.
Demon Monarch Tao had also seen the mission, so his face was ashen. He had never expected his opponent to come up with such a plan.
In the eyes of Demon Lord Tao, this was a bad plan, but to Xiao Lingyu, who did not want to waste blood crystals, this was definitely the best choice.
After smiling at Demon Lord Tao, Xiao Lingyu walked out of the Bounty Hunter Branch and headed towards the restaurant beside the City Lord's Mansion.
Generally speaking, the largest restaurant next to the City Lord's Mansion was the property of the City Lord's Mansion. It was absolutely safe to eat and drink there.
As for the price of the restaurant, Xiao Lingyu did not care at all. In any case, the Devil Stones on her were stolen from others.
When he arrived at the restaurant, Xiao Lingyu didn't choose a private room. Instead, he casually found a seat in the hall on the first floor and sat down. He ordered a few dishes that weren't too cheap or too expensive and leisurely enjoyed himself.
Although Demon Lord Tao was infuriated, he could only suppress the anger in his heart. He also found a seat and ordered some dishes.
After eating and drinking, Xiao Lingyu went to the teahouse. After that, she went to a few material stores to purchase materials that could help her transform her body.
In short, Xiao Lingyu wandered around in crowded places and did not stray too far from the City Lord's Mansion. Furthermore, she was always on guard, not giving Demon Lord Tao any chance to kill her.
What Xiao Lingyu did not expect was that her Communication Pearl had already started vibrating after she had wandered around the city for less than a day.
She sank her consciousness into it to take a look. Someone had indeed accepted her mission.
In order to restrain a Demon Lord expert, the bounty hunter who accepted the mission had to be at least at the early stage of the Demon Lord realm. Once one's strength reached the Demon Lord realm, they would be considered a Hunting King in the ranking of the bounty hunter organization.
It was rare to see a Hunting King in the ordinary Demon Realm Continent. Therefore, Xiao Lingyu was very happy that someone had accepted her mission so early. After all, 1,500 Devil Crystals should not be considered a generous reward for a Hunting King.
After replying to the message, Xiao Lingyu walked toward the bounty hunter branch. Demon Lord Tao naturally followed closely behind her.
When she reached the hall on the first floor of the branch, Xiao Lingyu sent another message, explaining her location and characteristics. Not long after, a middle-aged cultivator walked over.
"You are the employer, right?" the middle-aged cultivator asked Xiao Lingyu.
"That's right." Xiao Lingyu nodded.
"Please exchange the code word," the middle-aged cultivator said again.
"The fragrance of falling flowers, the flowing water traceless," Xiao Lingyu replied.
"That's right. When do you plan to leave the Liuhong Continent?" the middle-aged cultivator asked again.
"The sooner the better," Xiao Lingyu replied.
"Then let's do it now." The middle-aged cultivator seemed to be a straightforward person. He immediately led Xiao Lingyu toward the city gate.
Just as they reached the edge of the plaza in front of the City Lord's Mansion, Demon Lord Tao suddenly blocked Xiao Lingyu and Xiao Lingyu's path. He said to the middle-aged cultivator angrily, "You want to protect her and leave the Liuhong Continent?"
"Brother Tao, I'm a bounty hunter. Can't I accept a mission?" the middle-aged cultivator asked with a smile.
Xiao Lingyu recognized this middle-aged cultivator at first glance. When she had just entered the city, this person had blocked Demon Lord Tao.
"Of all the missions you could have accepted, you just had to accept this one. Are you deliberately making things difficult for me?" Demon Lord Tao asked angrily.
"Brother Tao, I don't need you to care about what mission I accept, right? You also know that even a Hunting King has to complete a mission every once in a while. I'm in charge of Liuhong City's city guards and am usually very busy. I don't have the time to leave the city to do missions. Now that there's such a simple mission for me to use to make up the numbers, why wouldn't I accept it? "the middle-aged cultivator said with a cold smile.
It turned out that this middle-aged cultivator was the city guard commander of Liuhong City, an expert who had reached the Demon Lord realm.
"Do you know that this person killed my nephew and grandson?" Demon Lord Tao asked with a glare.
"I'm only in charge of accepting missions. As for what the employer has done in the past, it has nothing to do with me," the middle-aged cultivator replied indifferently.
"Hmph! Since that's the case, let's leave the city and see who's the real deal! "Demon Lord Tao said hatefully.
"Hehe, the last time I sparred with Brother Tao should have been 30,000 years ago. I wonder if Brother Tao is still as powerful as before after 30,000 years. Today, I'll have a taste of it!" The middle-aged cultivator laughed fearlessly.
"You!"
The corner of Demon Lord Tao's mouth twitched a few times. Then, with a flick of his long sleeve, he strode toward the city gate without any intention of wasting his breath.
After leaving the city, Xiao Lingyu and Demon Lord Tao discovered that Demon Lord Tao was already standing in the air above the teleportation array with a grave and stern expression.
"Sir, please wait for the teleportation. If an accident happens, I'll help you," the middle-aged cultivator said to Xiao Lingyu.
Xiao Lingyu didn't say much. After nodding, she slowly walked to the side of the teleportation array and waited for the teleportation with many other cultivators.
At this time, almost all the cultivators at the teleportation array square were staring at Demon Lord Tao in the air above the teleportation array, not understanding what was going on.
Many of the cultivators who weren't in a hurry to leave could feel that there was something wrong with the aura fluctuations on Demon Lord Tao's body. They could guess that an accident might happen in a while, so these cultivators didn't continue waiting for the teleportation array. Instead, they hurriedly left the group and walked to the city gate.
Originally, they needed to wait for two hours, but because many cultivators had already left, only fifteen minutes passed before it was Xiao Lingyu's turn to be teleported.
Naturally, Demon Lord Tao wouldn't give Xiao Lingyu the chance to teleport away. He immediately shook the teleportation array, causing it to temporarily lose its effect. Then, he suddenly descended and slapped his palm at Xiao Lingyu.
Xiao Lingyu's expression remained unchanged. She didn't even try to dodge. Instead, she waved her hand and sent a Chaotic Demonic Seal into the sky.
The Chaotic Demonic Seal completely dispersed the opponent's palm wind. However, when it exploded, it also shook the mountains and the earth.
Before Demon Lord Tao could attack again, the middle-aged cultivator had already leaped into the air. He held a black spear and stabbed it at Demon Lord Tao.
"Disciple of the Tao Family, what are you waiting for? End this thief!"
Demon Lord Tao shouted. Then, a pair of iron hooks appeared in his hands and blocked the middle-aged cultivator's spear.
Just as Demon Lord Tao shouted, several Mystic Demon cultivators surrounded Xiao Lingyu.
"Look, the Grand Commander is making a move!"
"Brothers, the Grand Commander is definitely going to kill the enemies of Liu Rainbow City. Everyone, attack together!"
Without the middle-aged cultivator's command, the city guard experts who had rushed over after hearing the news all rushed forward. It wasn't that these city guard experts didn't know what was going on, but that they wanted to show off in front of their Grand Commander.
"You actually mobilized the city guards for your own mission!" Demon Lord Tao said angrily after forcing the middle-aged cultivator to retreat.
"Hehe, I didn't ask them to help. They did it willingly," the middle-aged cultivator replied with a smile.
"You've gone too far!"
Demon Lord Tao and the middle-aged cultivator started fighting again.
On the other side, a large number of city guard experts rushed over. The Tao Family disciples were unable to deal with them and could only retreat as they fought. Soon, they were slaughtered out of the teleportation array plaza.
Xiao Lingyu didn't make a move. He waited for the city guards and Tao Family experts to retreat before walking towards the teleportation array.
However, just as he reached the teleportation array's entrance, Demon Lord Tao took the middle-aged cultivator's attack head-on and shot a black beam of light at Xiao Lingyu.
Although Xiao Lingyu didn't sense any powerful energy fluctuations from the black beam of light, he still dodged to the side.
However, his cultivation realm was inferior to Demon Lord Tao's. Demon Lord Tao could lock onto his attacks and his dodging was useless.
Sensing that the black beam of light was still chasing after him, Xiao Lingyu suddenly stopped and threw out the Chaotic Demonic Seal that he had formed.
