Half a day later, Tan Sheng, dressed in a blue robe, appeared on the Spirit Peak. He had rushed all the way here because he was afraid he would be late.
The Hunting Ground had been open for half a month and could close at any time. Once the Hunting Ground closed, even if he obtained that thing, it might not be of much use.
Moreover, once the Hunting Ground closed, the rankings on the Hunting List would be fixed, and many rewards would be issued at once.
Standing in the air, he took out the Ten Minute Map and checked it. After confirming that this was the agreed location, he immediately sent out a message.
After waiting for a while, he received a reply. After checking it, he whispered, "Sun and Moon in the sky, two rivers parallel."
He cursed in his heart, [What kind of secret code is this …]
As soon as he finished speaking, he saw two figures walking out of their hiding place below.
His figure flickered and he rushed over, instantly landing in front of the two men.
Jiang Liuzi stepped forward and cupped his fists, "Are you Senior Brother Tan Sheng?" They had never seen Tan Sheng before, so they didn't know what he looked like. However, the secret code was correct, and his cultivation corresponded to it, so it shouldn't be wrong.
Tan Sheng nodded, "That's me. Where is it?"
Jiang Liuzi took out a compass-like object from his storage bag. The compass-like object looked quite old and was extremely simple. Moreover, the compass-like object itself didn't have any Spiritual Energy fluctuations. If such an object was encountered in the wild, no one would take a second look at it.
However, this compass-like object was the key to accurately finding Lu Ye's whereabouts. It was also an opportunity obtained by Jiang Liuzi and his brother before.
"Give it to me." Tan Sheng stretched out his hand. This object looked no different from the rumoured one, but whether it was real or not, he still had to verify it.
Jiang Liuzi shook his head and said, "Senior Brother Tan, our cultivation base is not high and we have offended a powerhouse from the Haotian Alliance. Now that we are in a precarious situation, we need Senior Brother Tan to protect us."
This object definitely couldn't be given to Tan Sheng. If they really gave it to him, he wouldn't take them with him. Only by holding this object could they ensure their own safety.
As for asking Tan Sheng to help avenge Senior Brother Lu Shu, that was simply unrealistic. Tan Sheng was a Ninth Order master, but the person who killed Senior Brother Lu Shu was also a Ninth Order master. Everyone's cultivation was the same, so even if Tan Sheng agreed, he didn't have the ability to do so, so Jiang Liuzi simply didn't mention it.
As for the matter of revenge, they would do it themselves. Both of them were talented and had the confidence to surpass the enemy who killed Senior Brother Lu Shu in terms of cultivation. When the time came, they would teach him a lesson.
"In addition, if we can really kill Lu Yiye, we want 40% of the reward." Jiang Liuzi made another request.
A cold glint flashed across Tan Sheng's eyes. "Your appetites aren't small. Aren't you afraid of being stuffed?"
Jiang Liuzi spoke with fervor and assurance, "Senior Martial Brother Tan must have heard of the bounty offered by the various sects in the Myriad Demons Ridge. With such a huge amount of resources, even if you give us forty percent, it will be enough for Senior Martial Brother Tan to enjoy for a lifetime."
Almost every First Grade, Second Grade, and Third Grade Sect had offered a bounty for Lu Yiye. The bounty offered by any one of them wasn't small, so it was hard to imagine how much it would be when added together.
Hearing this, Tan Sheng remained expressionless. After a while, he said, "Give me the things and I'll give you forty percent."
Jiang Liuzi shook his head. "I want to use it myself." The most important thing right now was to follow Tan Sheng. Only then could they borrow his power to prevent the Grand Heaven Alliance Master from acting rashly. Otherwise, if Tan Sheng took the things and ran away, leaving the two of them behind, they wouldn't be able to resist at all.
If they died, they would lose everything.
Therefore, even though Jiang Liuzi felt that Tan Sheng was getting impatient, he couldn't relent. As for whether Tan Sheng would rob them directly … the probability wasn't high. They were all from the Myriad Demons Ridge. Tan Sheng had no reason to do such a tasteless thing. Even if he did rob them, he could make the compass in his hand lose its effect before he did so. At that time, no one would benefit from it.
Seeing that Tan Sheng was still hesitating, Jiang Liuzi said, "Senior Martial Brother Tan, the Hunting Ground has been open for half a month. It might close at any time. If that's the case, Senior Martial Brother Tan won't be able to count on the reward for the first place on the Hunting List. Moreover, once the Hunting Ground closes, even with this item, we might not be able to kill Lu Yiye."
Putting everything else aside, if that guy hid in the Tianji Merchant Union or returned to the Nine Prefectures, where could they kill him?
Tan Sheng finally relented. "Twenty percent. You can use it. I'll take you with me!"
Jiang Liuzi frowned. However, it wasn't good for him to bargain anymore. Twenty percent of the bounty was enough for the two of them. He immediately nodded. "Alright."
"Let's begin." Tan Sheng urged.
Jiang Liuzi immediately raised his hand and bit his fingertip. Then, with his blood, he wrote the words' Lu Yiye 'on one side of the compass.
The dark red blood was quickly absorbed by the compass, and the ancient compass immediately bloomed with light. The needle in the middle of the compass spun wildly, and in just a moment, the needle suddenly stopped and pointed in a certain direction. At the same time, a blood-red light rushed out of the compass and quickly swept in that direction, disappearing without a trace.
[It's really the rumored item.] Tan Sheng's eyes lit up. [With this item, Lu Yiye won't be able to escape.]
"Let's go!"
Tan Sheng shouted and took the lead to fly in that direction. Jiang Liuzi and his brother followed closely behind.
Somewhere on the ground, a figure was watching quietly. It was the expert from the Haotian Alliance who had killed Lu Shu. He had been searching for traces of Jiang Liuzi and his brother nearby. Unfortunately, the two of them hid very well, and he couldn't find them.
Until now, the two brothers took the initiative to reveal themselves. However, there was a Ninth Order beside them, which made him feel quite helpless.
"Tan Sheng?" The man whispered softly, "When did New Moon Sect and Eternal Heaven Sect get together?"
Tan Sheng was from New Moon Sect, while Jiang Liuzi and his brother were from Eternal Heaven Sect. They were both big Sects in Myriad Demon Ridge.
[I don't understand. Forget it. It's just two Fifth Order. If I can't kill them, I won't kill them.]
At the same time, in another part of the Hunting Ground, Lu Ye, who was hiding in the dark, suddenly frowned. Just now, he felt an inexplicable throbbing in his heart, as if someone was secretly monitoring him.
This made his heart tremble.
He hid his body with the help of the Concealment Spirit Tattoo, which was similar to the concealment of Ghost Cultivators. He didn't dare to say that his concealment was perfect, but if someone wanted to see through his concealment, their cultivation had to be at least Seventh Order and above. Moreover, they had to be close enough to him.
[Is someone lurking around me?]
Lu Ye was secretly shocked. He hurriedly activated his Insight Spirit Tattoo to enhance his eyes and looked around.
In the end, he found nothing. There were no traces of anyone lurking around.
Thinking about it for a moment, Lu Ye turned his head and whispered to Yi Yi. Yi Yi immediately flew out of Hu Po's body and dove into the ground to search around.
After a stick of incense worth of time, Yi Yi returned and slowly shook her head at Lu Ye. She carefully searched the surrounding five thousand meters but found nothing.
At this time, the inexplicable feeling of being watched suddenly disappeared, which made Lu Ye very puzzled.
[Was it just an illusion?]
Lu Ye calmed his mind and probed for a while to make sure there was nothing strange.
However, after obtaining the golden spirit tag, his luck wasn't very good. After lying in ambush for half a day, he still didn't gain anything.
Looking up at the Hunting List, Lu Ye didn't know why Tan Sheng's hunting points had stopped moving for a long time. It was very strange. This caused the gap between the third place and Tan Sheng to be constantly narrowed. By now, that person was less than a hundred hunting points behind Tan Sheng.
Time passed by, and after more than an hour, Lu Ye suddenly felt that he was being watched again, and this time, the feeling was much stronger than before.
His face became dignified.
Something was not right.
If it was only once, he could say it was an illusion, but now it was happening again. What was this?
He quickly constructed his Insight Spirit Inscriptions and scanned his surroundings, but still found nothing. However, he instinctively felt that something was wrong, as if if he continued to stay here, a great crisis would descend.
Thinking so, Lu Ye quickly sent a message to Li Baxian, telling him to prepare to evacuate.
Whether or not someone was secretly monitoring him, there was nothing wrong with being careful.
Just as he was sending a message to Li Baxian, more than ten kilometres away, three figures were rushing over under the guidance of the compass. As the distance between them grew closer, the light on the compass gradually became red and its colour became deeper.
"He's nearby!" Jiang Liuzi's eyes flashed with joy. The Hunting Ground was so big that he thought that even with the guidance of this compass, it would take some effort to find Lu Yi Ye, but he hadn't expected the distance between them to be so small. It only took them a little more than an hour to arrive.
This was really a pleasant surprise.
On the ground, Lu Ye and Li Baxian finished communicating and were about to pack up their Array Flags and leave when three streams of light suddenly appeared in their field of vision.
The Spiritual Energy fluctuations of the leader were extremely powerful, indicating that he was a Ninth Order cultivator.
[Ninth Order cultivators are starting to act together?] Lu Ye was secretly shocked, but when he probed the Spiritual Energy fluctuations of the two, he found that they were only Fifth Order cultivators.
He guessed that these three probably belonged to the same Sect, otherwise, it wouldn't make sense for a Ninth Order cultivator to bring two Fifth Order cultivators with him.
Seeing the three streams of light fly over his head, before Lu Ye could breathe a sigh of relief, the three streams of light suddenly stopped.
In the air, Jiang Liuzi held the compass and looked at the needle that suddenly changed. He shouted in a low voice, "They're down there!"
Tan Sheng's eyes lit up and he immediately flew down, followed by Jiang Liuzi and his brother.
The moment they landed, Jiang Chengzi disappeared. He was a Ghost Cultivator, so he had his own means of concealment.
At this time, Lu Ye was staring at Jiang Chengzi.
He never expected that in this Hunting Ground, not only would he meet Wei Que, but also these two brothers. They were really haunting him.
What made Lu Ye even more vigilant was the compass in Jiang Liuzi's hand. As he continued to approach, the warning in Lu Ye's heart became stronger and stronger. Somehow, that compass seemed to have some inexplicable connection with him.
For some reason, Lu Ye always felt that these three were looking for him. Otherwise, it wouldn't make sense for them to land after flying over. Moreover, Jiang Liuzi was obviously looking for something with the help of that compass. (To be continued)
