There were many ways to earn divine stones in the city. For example, one could join the city guards after reaching the Heavenly God stage. Once one became a city guard, one would receive a large amount of divine stones every once in a while. One could also go out to hunt. There were many shops in the city that bought all kinds of demon beast meat, fur, demon souls, or soul orbs. One could also take on missions and receive a handsome reward after completing the mission.
Xiao Lingyu hadn't reached the Heavenly God stage yet, so he wouldn't join the city guards.
Although the income from being a city guard was stable, it wasn't high enough for Xiao Lingyu. He didn't have the patience.
Going out to hunt was a good idea. With his abilities and the Yin Yang Mirror, even if he encountered a Heavenly God stage demon beast, he would still be able to fight it.
Heavenly God stage demon beasts couldn't be sold for many divine stones. Only by hunting Heavenly God stage demon beasts could he increase his wealth quickly.
Moreover, he could also take on missions while hunting. He had more freedom and wasn't restricted by any restrictions. This was more suitable for Xiao Lingyu.
After a few days, Qi Hongxuan didn't come to find Xiao Lingyu. He seemed to know that Xiao Lingyu hadn't thought it through, or that Xiao Lingyu wasn't willing to go to the Qi Clan to help him.
Xiao Lingyu first went to the place where missions were given out in the city. He didn't find any suitable missions so he left the city.
The place where the missions were issued in the city was actually a plaza filled with stone tablets. Any cultivator could enter the missions they wanted to issue into those stone tablets. The stone tablets would then scroll, displaying the detailed information of all the missions one by one.
Going out to hunt usually took a long time. After all, demon beasts were rarely seen in the vicinity of Kun City. If one wanted to hunt, they would have to travel a long distance.
Behind Kun City, which was the opposite direction of Kun City's main gate, one could reach the edge of a forest after traveling a hundred thousand miles.
It was said that this forest was a primeval forest that had existed for countless years. It was extremely vast and very few cultivators dared to enter it.
At the edge of this primeval forest, there were countless Heavenly God and Heavenly God stage demon beasts. Many hunters in Kun City liked to come here to hunt.
There was a clear path between the back gate of Kun City and the forest. Everyone followed the path and walked to the edge of the forest, which was the end of the path.
At the end of this road, there was a small tavern called "Home of Hunters". Almost every cultivator who came here would go in and sit for a while. After eating and drinking to their heart's content, they would enter the primeval forest to hunt.
Xiao Lingyu also felt that the journey was a little boring, so she also entered the Home of Hunters.
From afar, the Home of Hunters looked like a thatched cottage in the countryside. However, upon entering, the interior was quite spacious. Furthermore, there were two floors. However, the two floors weren't completely separated. The middle of the second floor was mostly empty.
The first floor was filled with small wooden tables and benches. On the second floor, there was only a circle of tables and chairs against the wall.
If this Home of Hunters was placed in Kun City, it would definitely be a place that no one would be interested in. This was because the environment was rather bad and the decorations were too simple and crowded. However, beside the primeval forest, it was like a hunter's paradise. It was only so big, but there were already hundreds of people squeezed inside.
Xiao Lingyu didn't like this kind of environment. After looking around, he frowned and went up to the second floor. Then, he sat down in a corner and called the waiter to order some food and wine.
The food and wine here were very cheap. A few low-grade divine stones were enough to buy a table. This was probably one of the reasons why everyone liked to come here.
However, although the food and wine were cheap, they had to pay the bill first.
Just as Xiao Lingyu sat down, someone came over to chat him up. He asked if he wanted to join the group and hunt together.
Xiao Lingyu politely rejected him. After that, a few more people came over. He smiled and rejected them all.
It seemed like this Home of Hunters had another use. It was convenient for everyone to find a group to hunt together.
Just as Xiao Lingyu's food and wine were delivered, a group of cultivators wearing leather armor suddenly walked into the Home of Hunters before he even touched his chopsticks.
If one looked carefully, they would realize that there were many people behind this group of cultivators. Moreover, they were wearing the same attire as them.
"Today, the Raging Flame Group has booked the entire Home of Hunters. Unrelated people, quickly leave!" A burly cultivator stood at the entrance and shouted loudly.
The entire Home of Hunters immediately quieted down. Everyone looked at the entrance.
"Why are you telling us to leave? We haven't finished eating yet!" A young-looking cultivator suddenly spoke up.
"Kid, shut up!"
A middle-aged cultivator sitting next to the young cultivator hurriedly covered the young cultivator's mouth. Then, his table of people hurriedly left through the side door.
Following that, most of the cultivators stood up and left through the side door.
Many cultivators were discussing in low voices. From their discussion, Xiao Lingyu learned that the Raging Flame Group was a hunting group belonging to one of the four great clans of Kun City, the Kong Clan. Not only did they have a large number of people, but almost all of them were Heavenly Gods. Their leader was even a Late Heavenly God expert. Thus, the Raging Flame Group had always been very domineering.
Most cultivators were afraid of the Raging Flame Group. It wasn't because of their strength, but because the Kong Clan was the leader of the four great clans of Kun City. In Kun City, no one dared to provoke the Kong Clan, not even the other three great clans.
As one of the four great clans, the Kong Clan's overall strength was stronger. Moreover, the Kong Clan's disciples were brave and decisive. It was because of this advantage that the Kong Clan could become the leader of the four great clans of Kun City.
After receiving this information, Xiao Lingyu, who didn't want to cause trouble, put away the food on the table like the other cultivators. Then, he walked to the first floor.
Most of the cultivators in the Home of Hunters left for the side door. Only two cultivators at a table in the corner of the first floor didn't stand up. They were still drinking.
Xiao Lingyu was the furthest away from the side door. Thus, he was the last one to reach the side door.
Just as he walked out of the side door, he saw four cultivators from the Raging Flame Regiment walk up to the two cultivators who were still drinking in the corner of the first floor. One of the cultivators slammed the table and shouted, "Are you deaf? Didn't you hear what I said? "
The strange thing was that this cultivator from the Raging Flame Regiment had used quite a lot of strength. This ordinary wooden table should have immediately turned into powder under this palm, but not only did the wooden table not break, even the wine and dishes on the table did not even tremble.
"Is this Home of Hunters owned by the Raging Flame Group?" One of the cultivators drank another cup of wine and asked the man who slammed the table.
"Although it isn't, we own it now! If the two of you don't leave, then we'll have to ask the two of you to leave. "The man who slammed the table sneered.
At this moment, the cultivators from the Raging Flame Group who were outside all entered the Home of Hunters. There were actually a hundred of them.
They all wore leather armor with a blazing emblem on their chests. Moreover, each of them had a valiant aura and dense killing intent. Just the aura and presence they exuded was enough to make many cultivators in the Heavenly God stage feel suffocated.
The two men did not pay attention to the strong man's warning. Instead, they clinked their wine glasses again without fear, and then leisurely drank.
"You're courting death!"
The man shouted. He grabbed the edge of the table with both hands and suddenly exerted force, wanting to overturn the table.
However, although the man seemed powerful, he couldn't make the table shake at all.
The other three cultivators from the Raging Flame Group went up to help. However, even with the four of them, they couldn't make the table shake. It was obvious that the two of them were exerting force to control the table. However, the two of them looked very relaxed.
"Brothers, let's attack together!"
The man shouted. Nearly a hundred people each drew a long saber and slashed at the two people who were drinking without saying a word.
The two of them suddenly changed their expressions. At the same time, they released a powerful aura, pushing back the twenty or so cultivators from the Raging Flame Group who were charging at the front.
"Late-stage Heavenly God!" The man who slammed the table earlier exclaimed.
"Late-stage Heavenly God, so what?"
A red-haired cultivator brandished a golden saber enveloped in blazing flames and slashed at one of the cultivators with great ferocity.
"He's the leader of the Raging Flame Group … Kong Lie, a Late-stage Heavenly God expert!" A cultivator standing next to Xiao Lingyu said.
One of the two cultivators stood up and drew a long sword. He first dodged Kong Lie's saber, then stabbed his sword at Kong Lie's wrist.
Kong Lie quickly raised his arm and slapped the cultivator's head with his golden saber.
The other cultivators from the Raging Flame Group brandished their weapons and attacked the other cultivator.
In just a few moments, the Home of Hunters that didn't have any protective measures collapsed. Xiao Lingyu and the other spectators all retreated.
Kong Lie and one of the cultivators fought into the forest. Although the other cultivator was facing nearly a hundred Heavenly Gods from the Raging Flame Group alone, he wasn't at a disadvantage at all. He used his extremely fast movement technique to move among the Raging Flame Group's troops. Every time he attacked, he would mercilessly take the life of a cultivator from the Raging Flame Group.
Apart from Kong Lie, the cultivators from the Raging Flame Group were all early-stage and mid-stage Heavenly Gods. Although the gap between them and Late-stage Heavenly Gods wasn't large, it was actually very difficult to make up for it with numbers.
However, the Raging Flame Group was also experienced in battle. After losing a dozen or so people, they tacitly retreated with the cultivator at the center and formed an encirclement.
When the cultivator rushed to one side of the encirclement, a hole immediately opened in the encirclement. The circular formation immediately turned into a half-moon …
