Chapter 1010 Bounty Lis
As Zhou Yuan came to the counter in the center, many people in the War Service Hall fixed their eyes on him.
A puzzled and ruminative expression crept into their eyes.
The little grand elder who rose to terrifying fame recently in the Tianyuan Region intended to take a task from the bounty list?
Interesting...the Heavenly Sun experts present all knew how troublesome the targets on the bounty list were. Moreover, many Heavenly Sun experts from the Tianyuan Region had died in their hands.
The little grand elder should have broken through to the Heavenly Sun stage. Otherwise, even if he is the so-called strongest Divine Dwelling expert, he would be nothing but cannon fodder when he steps onto the battlefield.
He, at most, would be at the initial Heavenly Sun stage and have the ability to protect himself. As for hunting down opponents on the bounty list, there is no chance he would succeed.
In the hall, several sharp-minded Heavenly Sun experts’ gazes collided. They knew what the little grand elder planned. The recent rumors must have brought him immense pressure and trouble, so he came to prove himself by hunting down powerful enemies.
It was a pragmatic approach, but...it was highly dangerous.
A little carelessness could lead to the little grand elder being buried in the battlefield, and at that time, what trouble would it bring for no reason?
Many people whispered in the War Service Hall. The majority of the Heavenly Sun experts indifferently watched the scene, suspecting the little grand elder to be pretending, and they expected someone to come out to block his seemingly reckless action just as he accepted a target.
On the second floor of the War Service Hall.
Two beautiful figures peered down.
One of the two women was tall and slender, with a bamboo-like ponytail hanging down to her feet.
It was Qin Lian.
The woman beside her, petite in stature, was a sharp contrast to her. She was another outstanding talent in the Tianyuan Region, Mu Youlan.
“What's he doing?” Qin Lian said, frowning.
“Could he really be planning to pick a target from the bounty list?” Mu Youlan’s quiet voice contained a little surprise and curiosity.
“Nonsense.” Qin Lian shook her head. “If the top five forces knew about his new identity, all the Heavenly Sun experts on the battlefield would most likely encircle him!”
She knew Zhou Yuan had broken through to the Heavenly Sun stage, but that wasn’t enough reason for him to mess around. Even if he had refined a glass Heavenly Sun...that wouldn’t be enough!
Mu Youlan suddenly said, “Could it really be just a show? Look, elder Yi Yan came out.”
Qin Lian followed her gaze and saw elder Yi Yan come to the center of the hall and greet Zhou Yuan with other people.
She couldn’t help muttering to herself, Could he have deliberately planned this show to quell the rumors?
A trace of disappointment flashed across her eyes. Although she felt it was utterly ridiculous for Zhou Yuan to enter the hunting battlefield, she still felt a little disappointed when she found that Zhou Yuan lacked such courage. After all, he was supreme sovereign Cang Yuan’s official disciple.
Could the supreme sovereign really have misjudged him?
While thoughts raced through Qin Lian's mind, Yi Yan greeted Zhou Yuan under countless watchful gazes.
“Chief pavilion master Zhou Yuan.” Yi Yan gave a cupped fist salute. Looking at Zhou Yuan, he couldn’t help feeling a little emotional. Who would have thought that the little guy who needed him to bring him to Tianyuan Utopia would be supreme sovereign Cang Yuan’s official disciple?
His status was higher than an elder’s.
“Elder Yi.” Zhou Yuan hurriedly bowed in response, and then he expressed his intention.
“Picking up a mission from the bounty list?” Yi Yan sounded surprised. Immediately after, he frowned and persuaded softly, “Chief pavilion master Zhou Yuan, don’t be reckless. I know you’re determined, but can I suggest you join the war in the periphery war zone first?”
He wanted to advise Zhou Yuan to take it step by step and not set his sights so high.
Unsurprised by Yi Yan’s persuasion, Zhou Yuan explained, “Elder Yi, don’t worry, I am not a reckless person.”
Although he spoke in a gentle tone, he was incredibly firm.
“Also...if Elder Yi won't let me, I will become a laughingstock here,” Zhou Yuan said with a faint smile.
Yi Yan scrunched his brows and swept a glance around the War Service Hall, noticing the many suspicious gazes. He, of course, was aware of the recent rumors surrounding Zhou Yuan. Ultimately, the rumors started because many Heavenly Sun experts from the Tianyuan Region were jealous of him.
Of course, Yi Yan understood their jealousy, because after he learned about Zhou Yuan’s identity, he also couldn’t help but sigh emotionally. Therefore, how could Heavenly Sun experts do any better?
The scene of someone reaching the sky in a single bound usually only appeared in dreams, but it had happened with Zhou Yuan.
Yi Yan carefully studied Zhou Yuan's face and saw no signs of impulsivity in his clear eyes. He hesitated and finally nodded reluctantly.
“Since chief pavilion master Zhou Yuan insists, I also can’t force you.”
Yi Yan turned around and led Zhou Yuan to a wall in the War Service Hall. Many pieces of parchment paper were hung on the scarlet wall with steel nails. The paper fluttered with the wind, and faint Genesis Qi light flowed around them and seemed to transform into a figure.
A bloody smell seeped out.
“Those are the bounty lists...
“Every parchment describes an extremely difficult and fierce Heavenly Sun expert...and the higher they are hung, the stronger they are and the more Heavenly sun experts they have killed,” Yi Yan explained.
Zhou Yuan's expression tensed, and he then shifted his line of sight to the hall’s scarlet wall and ran his eyes over the parchment papers fluttering in the wind.
“Cao Ying, intermediate Heavenly Sun stage, silver-snow Heavenly Sun, estimated to have a foundation of 440 million Genesis Qi stars and has killed three intermediate Heavenly Sun experts from the Tianyuan Region.”
“Liu Xueshou, intermediate Heavenly Sun stage, silver-snow Heavenly Sun, estimated to have a foundation of 470 million Genesis Qi stars.”
As Zhou Yuan ran his eyes across the wall, he only found intermediate Heavenly Sun experts and above listed.
He suddenly looked up to see who the trickiest opponent was.
There were two smiling pale faces on a gently fluttering parchment.
“It’s two people?”
“Wang Qingshan, Wang Haiyuan, twin brothers with advanced Heavenly Sun stage strength and purple-gold Heavenly Suns. They have never separated no matter how strong or weak their opponents are, and their joint attacks are always well-coordinated and astonishing. It is rumored that even Heavenly Sun experts with glass Heavenly Suns have died in their hands.”
Zhou Yuan was surprised to hear the two were twin brothers, but what surprised him the most was that the twin brothers had killed experts of the same level with glass Heavenly Suns.
Given that they each only possessed a purple-gold Heavenly Sun and they could still kill experts with glass Heavenly Sun, they clearly possessed a terrifying combined strength.
“They are my targets. I was transferred to Chiyun Prefecture just to kill the two because they've killed a lot of our people,” a voice sounded behind Zhou Yuan.
Zhou Yuan turned around to see that Qin Lian had come to stand behind him without him knowing.
“Have you succeeded?” Zhou Yuan asked with a smile.
Qin Lian shook her head. “They are extremely cunning and had fled during our battle.”
The twin brothers’ strength shouldn’t be underestimated since they could escape from Qiu Lian, who was ranked sixth on the Tianyuan Region’s Heavenly Sun List. It was no wonder that everyone said that there were hidden dragons among the Heavenly Sun experts in Hunyuan Heaven.
Qin Lian looked at Zhou Yuan and let out a sigh. She then said helplessly, “If you must, choose from the silver-snow Heavenly Sun experts at the bottom.”
“Thank you, elder Qin Lian, for warning me,” Zhou Yuan said with a smile.
He knew Qin Lian had good intentions, but silver-snow Heavenly Sun experts couldn’t satisfy his appetite. He didn’t have so much time to give experts of that level a hard time.
As he lifted his palm, three nails in the center of the wall vibrated, and three parchments floated down.
Many Heavenly Sun experts couldn’t stop their expressions from changing.
The three targets listed on the parchment were all intermediate Heavenly Sun experts with purple-gold Heavenly Suns!
Not only did Zhou Yuan select three targets at once, but they were also all intermediate purple-gold Heavenly Sun stage experts!
More than 80% of the Heavenly Sun experts in the hall wouldn’t dare to accept those targets.
Zhou Yuan, however, selected them without any hesitation.
Inhaling sharply, the onlookers gazed at each other.
Zhou Yuan...is crazy!
