C2475 Bounty!
C2475 Bounty!
After all, they were all cultivators at the Mortal Separating Stage. Normally, they would travel around the outside world. With their cultivation, they could protect themselves, so they did not need their master to worry about them.
They arrived at the nearest town. They originally planned to leave, but they heard that evil cultivators were going to cause a disaster. Their methods were cruel, and now that their cultivation had increased, they wanted to show off their skills and try their own skills. Thus, they stayed here to gather information.
When they found out that the Heaven Pavilion had released a reward, they had sent Xing Chou to the Heaven Pavilion to collect the reward. They had stayed here to eat, which was why the scene just now had happened.
Xing Qiu said directly, "It's not because of that. Look at the reward order."
Zhao Xin picked up the reward order from the table. When he opened the reward order, he was stunned. His eyes twitched, and he was obviously very shocked.
He Yu, who was at the side, looked at the contents of the reward order and said.
"Impossible!"
Xing Qiu said, "Now you know why I did that, right? How could he do that? Furthermore, he only separated from us for a short while. According to the records of the Heaven Pavilion, this matter appeared twenty days ago. At that time, we were still in the trial. Unless he had a cloning technique, how could he have done it?"
Wu Fan sat opposite Zhao Xin. He could not see the contents of the reward order, but from the three people's reactions, they had obviously guessed something.
He swallowed the thing in his mouth.
"Don't tell me that Jiang Fann is the one on the bounty."
After hearing that, He Yu quickly said, "Keep your voice down!"
Wu Fan frowned at He Yu and said unhappily, "What is the background of Heaven Pavilion? Is it possible to issue a bounty without investigating? Why don't we go to Heaven Pavilion now and explain the situation? We can't let a group of experts surround him, right? That guy is still in the forest outside the city? "
Xing Qiu nodded his head and said, "It is indeed in the forest outside the city. However, I heard that a few experts at the eighth level of the Mortal Separating Stage and above have already accepted the bounty. There are also some experts at the peak of the Mortal Separating Stage. They are all the seniors and masters of the dead cultivators. They should have already left the city. There will probably be more experts arriving. If the news of the Nine Heavens Pavilion is spread casually, then Jiang Fann will be in trouble."
Wu Fan frowned and asked, "Is the Heaven Pavilion very strong?"
He Yu said, “You don’t know what’s going on outside. The Heaven Pavilion is spread across the entire Upper Nine Heavens, and the currency used is also issued by the Heaven Pavilion. Even the various dynasties might not be able to do anything to them. If the Heaven Pavilion is wanted by the Nine Heavens, then he will have a hard time in the Upper Nine Heavens.”
Wu Fan stood up, "What are we waiting for? Whoever is familiar with the Heaven Pavilion, hurry up and go to the Heaven Pavilion and explain the situation. I'll bring people to the city and find him. If he is attacked, we can also help him."
Zhao Xin said to Wu Fan, "Don't be agitated. We all know Jiang Fann's situation. Don't worry too much. With his combat strength, ordinary experts can't do anything to him. That day, he killed the three Overlord-level demonic beasts. There are no restrictions here. The cultivators who came here won't be able to pressure him much. The most important thing is to figure out what happened. Let's go to the Heaven Pavilion first."
He Yu frowned and said, "Do you really not need to help him? He's very dangerous. After all, the methods of the Human Clan are different from the demonic beasts. If he doesn't know, he might fall into a trap. That would be very dangerous."
Zhao Xin thought for a moment, then looked at Wu Fan and said, "How about you and Wu Huan go together and use Jiang Fann's Spirit Attached Jade to contact him? Tell him the current situation. Don't act rashly, in case you give him trouble."
Wu Fan frowned and said, "Trouble? How could I possibly give him trouble? We're going to help him."
"If you guys are too reckless, and people know that you're going to help him, then the ones who will be attacked will most likely be you guys. Elder Brother Jiang will definitely help you guys out. You guys should keep a low profile. We'll contact you at any time."
Although he was unhappy with Zhao Xin's words, Wu Huan still nodded.
"Alright, we understand. Let's go."
After saying that, Wu Fan ate a few mouthfuls of meat on the table, then stood up and pulled Wu Huan to walk out of the door.
Zhao Xin said to the crowd, "Eat quickly, then we'll go to the Heaven Pavilion together to check out the situation. I really want to know what happened during this period of time."
Because of this matter, everyone no longer had the mood to eat. He Yu went to check out the bill, and the others had already walked out of the door. He Yu chased after them.
The small city was not considered big, and the group of people quickly arrived at the branch of the Nine Heavens Pavilion. This place was usually very lively, and many missions were posted here. However, there were not many cases of cultivators at the Mortal Separating Stage traveling together. After all, most of the missions here were not too difficult, and the rewards were not attractive to cultivators at the Mortal Separating Stage.
Zhao Xin immediately found a cultivator from Heaven Pavilion and asked for the reward.
"Is this bounty issued by your headquarters, or by your side?"
The cultivator glanced at the bounty and said, "This is issued by our side. The manager has already confirmed its authenticity. Is there any problem with you?"
"We want to meet the manager and find out some things. I hope we can be recommended."
After saying that, he took out a piece of spiritual stone and handed it to the other party.
The cultivator did not accept the spiritual stone, but pushed it back to Zhao Xin and said, "It's just to meet our manager. Please wait here for a moment. I'll call him down right now."
"Thank you."
Soon, the manager who was in charge of the meeting with the cultivators came down from the second floor. When he saw Zhao Xin and the others, he was a little puzzled.
"Are you here for the bounty?"
Zhao Xin nodded her head and went straight to the point. "I want to know how you guys determined that what happened outside the city was the work of this person. We know this person, and he is not the murderer. Is there a misunderstanding?"
Hearing Zhao Xin's words, the manager's expression did not change as he replied directly, "I have already asked for instructions. There is no problem with the evidence. Since you guys know him, I hope you can stay away from him. Otherwise, you might get yourself burned. It will not be good for you."
He Yu was a little excited. "Nonsense! We were training with him a while ago. The time of what happened outside the city is not the same. How can the Heaven Pavilion casually put such a crime on a single person?"
The manager looked at Zhao Xin and the others. He felt that they did not seem to be lying. Furthermore, these people's cultivations were very high, so it was not good for him to offend them. He was also afraid that these people would cause trouble here.
Therefore, a piece of spiritual jade appeared in his hand and was handed over to Zhao Xin in front of him.
"You'll know if you look at it yourself. You guys came at the right time. The spiritual jade will be sent to the big city in the afternoon, so you won't be able to see it."
Zhao Xin did not hesitate and directly injected her Spiritual Strength into it. Then, the scene of the memory appeared in his mind.
When he saw the familiar face, he was also stunned for a moment. No matter if it was his appearance or his dressing, the figure was exactly the same as Jiang Fann. However, his eyes were obviously more evil.
Zhao Xin came back to his senses, and the spiritual jade in his hand was snatched away by He Yu.
Xing Qiu and the others looked at Zhao Xin's strange expression and frowned.
Before Zhao Xin could say anything, He Yu had already said with a resolute tone.
"It's not him. Although his appearance and dressing are the same, he definitely isn't the same person!"
The manager looked at He Yu with a puzzled expression. "This memory was left by a survivor. That person is still alive, so there shouldn't be a mistake. Although there are indeed many disguising techniques, cultivators who survived are still cultivators at the Dao Understanding Stage. They should still have some ability to distinguish between them."
Zhao Xin said, "Although his appearance is similar, his eyes are completely different from the one we know. We hope that you, the Heaven Pavilion, will investigate this matter seriously and make a decision. Otherwise, it will bring a series of negative effects to our friends."
"This is the work of evil cultivators after all. I don't need to say anything about their methods. You all know them very well. To experts, it is not difficult to transform, let alone that survivor who is only a cultivator at the Dao Understanding Stage. It's no wonder he can't recognize them."
The manager said, "Then how can you prove that the evil cultivator is not your friend?"
Zhao Xin and the others were stunned. Not to mention where Jiang Fann was, even if he was here, how could he prove it?
The steward looked at their reactions and continued, "I am only following the rules. I paid for this clue, so please don't make things difficult for me."
Zhao Xin hesitated for a moment, then said, “If I give this jade to the Heaven Pavilion in the big city, will the bounty be completely made public?”
The steward did not hide anything and nodded.
"Theoretically, it is indeed so, but I am not sure how the higher-ups are going to do it. I only know this much."
Zhao Xin took the jade back from He Yu, but she did not plan to give it to the steward.
He said, "I hope you can give me a few days to investigate this matter clearly, then send this thing to the big city. At that time, I will definitely not say anything."
The steward was not nervous at all, and he was still very calm.
"Don't you think that you can leave as you please after taking away the things from our Heaven Pavilion? I don't want to make things difficult for you. I am already able to cooperate with you and return the spiritual jade to me. I will not pursue this matter. If not, I can only offend you all."
The steward emitted a trace of aura of the realm. He was not angry, but he was mighty. He had actually reached the eighth level of the Mortal Separating Stage.
As expected, none of the people who managed to get a position in the Heaven Pavilion were weaklings.
Zhao Xin and the others did not seem to be too nervous. Of course, they knew the rules of the Heaven Pavilion. At this moment, they were just trying to help Jiang Fann out, and they could only do so for a short while.
Two disciples of the Heaven Pavilion near the main door leaned over, their intentions obvious.
