On the broad streets of Qinghe Prefecture’s capital city, an apparently ordinary carriage was slowly advancing.
Inside the carriage.
Cui Jinpeng, wrapped in a black robe, had a gloomy expression and eyes filled with murderous intent.
“The Blood Blade Tavern, with such a grand reputation, dares to act so dishonorably!” Cui Jinpeng gritted his teeth. “Fine, if the mission failed, but to kill Dongbo Qing Shi, they want me to pay a second bounty?”
Early that morning, he had gone to the Blood Blade Tavern to await the outcome of the mission.
The Blood Blade Tavern had responded—
“The Dongbo Xueying’s strength far exceeded our expectations. Our assassins suffered heavy losses. This mission is hereby canceled.”
“Canceled? Then what about the reward?”
“No refunds!”
“I…” Cui Jinpeng was furious at the time.
What he didn’t know was that the Blood Blade Tavern was equally dissatisfied. This mission was too disadvantageous. Three Silver Moon-level assassins dying was one thing, but Feng Mo and Xiang Pangyun had also perished! Xiang Pangyun was a monster in human disguise, so his death was acceptable. The most critical point was that Dongbo Xueying was only twenty-two but already so astonishingly talented.
Such talent had a very high chance of one day becoming Transcendent! For such a prodigy, to place a bounty on his head, the Blood Blade Tavern wouldn’t accept mere gold—they demanded rare Transcendent treasures!
This mission was a terrible loss!
“How much will it cost to place another bounty on Dongbo Qing Shi?” Cui Jinpeng asked.
The Blood Blade Tavern replied, “Now that the Xueshi Castle is under the attention of Transcendent beings, if Dongbo Qing Shi is assassinated within a month, it will cost one million gold coins; if assassinated after a month, it will cost five hundred thousand gold coins.”
Cui Jinpeng immediately turned and left!
…
“Fifty thousand gold coins just to assassinate Dongbo Qing Shi after a month?” Cui Jinpeng was nearly beside himself with rage inside the carriage. “The Blood Blade Tavern is obsessed with money, nothing but money!”
He was nearly bankrupt already, having spent most of his savings on the previous bounty.
“Just a weak little mage. If that’s the case, then I’ll have to personally bring some assassins myself.” Cui Jinpeng clenched his teeth. As the leader of the underworld in the prefecture city, he naturally had his own assassins and loyalists. He had hired the Blood Blade Tavern only to ensure absolute success! He hadn’t expected such an outcome… In truth, he didn’t realize how fortunate he was.
With just a million gold coins, Feng Mo had died, even someone like Xiang Pangyun had perished, Dongbo Xueying had fallen into the Black Wind Abyss, and even Transcendent beings had been alerted!
“Neigh~”
Suddenly, the carriage stopped, making Cui Jinpeng’s expression shift slightly. He barked, “Why did we stop?”
“Come out, Cui Yegou,” a hoarse voice came from outside.
Cui Jinpeng’s face changed as he quickly opened the carriage door. He immediately saw three dark-clothed figures in front of the carriage. The leader was an elderly man with graying hair and a golden tooth, his eyes cold.
“Ahh, Steward Liu.” Cui Jinpeng immediately flattered as he got off the carriage.
The old man with graying hair gave a cold glance. “Seize him and take him away.”
“Steward Liu, what’s going on?” Cui Jinpeng was bewildered but dared not resist, allowing two dark-clothed men to shackle his arms. He knew very well that this Steward Liu was the personal steward of the Si Clan’s Ancestor, Si Lianghong, holding an extremely high status. The reason Cui Jinpeng had become the leader of the entire underworld of the prefecture city was precisely because of Si Lianghong’s approval.
“The Master wants to see you.” Steward Liu said briefly, without further explanation.
“The Ancestor?” Cui Jinpeng’s face turned pale.
Moments later.
In a garden, Cui Jinpeng saw the Si Clan’s Ancestor.
“Ancestor.” Cui Jinpeng knelt down fearfully.
Si Lianghong, though she had lived many years, still had a remarkably beautiful appearance, like a seductive beauty. She wore a blood-red robe, her hair also blood-red, and her skin was fair. Seeing her would naturally stir desires, for she possessed the “Blood Demon Body,” naturally exuding charm.
“It’s because of you?” Si Lianghong looked at Cui Jinpeng. “Because of you, a mere insignificant wretch, Xiang Pangyun, who had been secretly sent in by the Witch God Temple, died, and Dongbo Xueying, a prodigy destined to become Transcendent, fell into the Black Wind Abyss and perished?”
“Fate is unpredictable. Two powerful figures were undone by a mere insignificant wretch.”
Si Lianghong sighed.
Her Si Clan was the undisputed overlord of Qinghe Prefecture, ruling with absolute power. Even in the dark underworld, she had countless informants. Cui Jinpeng was known as the Si Clan’s loyal hound! The Si Clan had placed spies in his mansion, and he dared not oppose them in the slightest. Thus, the death of his son, “Cui Hu,” was quickly known to the Si Clan, even knowing that Cui Jinpeng had visited the Blood Blade Tavern!
“Sometimes, great heroes fall because of insignificant people.” Si Lianghong sighed. “Alright, Old Liu, you’ve seen him. Take him away and dispose of him cleanly.”
“Yes.” Steward Liu respectfully replied.
“Ancestor! Ancestor! I’ve always been loyal to the Si Clan!” Cui Jinpeng cried out in terror.
But Si Lianghong couldn’t be bothered to even glance at him.
Because she knew that Transcendent beings would come this time! Therefore, the Transcendent would certainly investigate the matter thoroughly. As the origin of the incident, “Cui Jinpeng,” she wanted to prevent him from speaking recklessly later, so it was better to eliminate him early. Moreover, this matter was indeed unrelated to the Si Clan—it was entirely Cui Jinpeng’s own idea.
“A prodigy destined to become Transcendent Just like that, he died.！ Although the Temple of Witches lost a hidden pawn， but has already made a fortune.。” Siliang Hong felt a bit nervous.，“ This supreme powerhouse must be utterly enraged.！ Qinghe County is the territory under the governance of our Si family.， I hope they don’t take their anger out on our company’s family.。”
The Si Family， Among mortals, he is a ruler of his own domain.。
Before the extraordinary？ yet can be effortlessly obliterated。
……
That day， Silang Hong quickly arrived at the Blackwind Cliff in Qinghe County.， Personally waiting there。
To her surprise， She waited until the third day.， Only then did the arrival of the transcendent powerhouse come.。
“ Rip——”
Above the Black Wind Cliff， The sun shines.， Cracks suddenly appeared in the fabric of space.， A figure stepped forth from within.。
Silang Hong remained seated in meditation atop the Blackwind Cliff.， She was surrounded by spells of preservation.， Shielded from the Gale， Sensing the spatial disturbance, she immediately looked up.， Then, with a look of astonishment, he immediately rose to his feet with utmost reverence.：“ Paying respects to Lord Changfeng。”
The newcomer was none other than the most powerful transcendent being in the entire Anyang Province.—— The Longwind Knight, Chi Qiubai！
Silang Hong was very nervous.：“ I thought it was another extraordinary being arriving.， Never expected it to be Gale Knight.！ This matter has actually alarmed such a terrifying presence.。”
“ I heard you’ve already executed Cui Jinpeng.？” Chiu Bai’s appearance could be considered quite handsome.， Silver hair flowing in the wind， A figure clad in a green robe stood suspended in midair.。
“ Is。” Silang Hong said respectfully.，“ This matter began with Is Because Cui Jinpeng has issued a bounty mission.。”
“ I already know the whole story.。” Chiu Qiubai took a single step and stood directly above the Blackwind Abyss.， The once frenzied black gale was suppressed, momentarily dissipating.， He gazed down below.， Deep below, a terrifying energy faintly surges.， blocked the view， It was impossible to see what lay in the depths of the Blackwind Abyss.。
“ Alas， Our Anyang Province is finally about to witness the birth of a new transcendent.， He was killed by those scum from the Witch Temple. True Is Not worth it.” Chiu Qiu Bai shook his head lightly.“ You may withdraw now.”
“ Is。” Siliang Hong knew she had passed this trial.， Clearly, Qiu Bai wouldn’t take his anger out on her.， She swiftly retreated at once.， Leaping off the Black Gale Cliff。
Chiu Qiu Bai stood above the Blackwind Abyss.。
An unseen force pressed down from above.。
“ Chi Qiu Bai！” Within the surging vast energies below…， Suddenly, a vague and colossal figure emerged faintly in the distance.， Then a black dragon’s head emerged.， The colossal black dragon’s head gazed upward at the figure standing midair. Chi Qiu Bai，“ How about， Last defeat， You’re not convinced.， Want to give it another try?？ I told you so.， Want to conquer this place， Your strength is still insufficient. Still far from it.
Still Is Go back and cultivate more.”
“ A mortal fell from above.， Is he still alive?？” Chi Qiu Bai Ask the Dao。
“ Oh， Is There was a mortal youth. Whoosh—down he went.， Perhaps he fell to his death.。” The Black Dragon’s head spoke.，“ I merely Is The First Guardian！ The master’s cave palace naturally has even more powerful guardians standing watch.， I have no control over the valley’s depths.， Cannot reach the cave abode palace？”
Chi Qiu Bai Overlooking downward, a quiet sigh.
This matter regarding Dongbo Xueying Is Report immediately to the extraordinary strong person.， However‘ The Abyss of Black Wind’ Even the Transcendents find it quite a headache.
Still, is Reported upwards. Chi Qiu Bai！ That’s why it took an extra two or three days.， Chi Qiu Bai Came in person with great haste。
“ If he were alive， Please help me with the following.， See him out。” Chi Qiu Bai Speak of the devil。
“ Quite polite, aren’t you?。” The black dragon’s head let out a laugh.，“ If seen， I’ll just see him out on my way.！ After all, only Is A mortal， The master’s command is paramount. Is Targeting the Extraordinary Lives。”
Chi Qiu Bai Shaking head in the dark。
The Abyss of Black Wind Once shrouded in great mystery， Tens of thousands of years ago…， A mortal who successfully ascended to godhood， Then enter The Abyss of Black Wind Explored…… Only then did the extraordinary beings of the human world come to realize… The Abyss of Black Wind Is The palace cave dwelling left behind by an extremely powerful cultivator.。 Only by utterly defeating all the transcendent guardians can one become the supreme champion.， Only then would one be qualified to inherit the treasures left behind by this venerable predecessor.。
Although that deity， Even the later Emperor Longshan had ventured inside to take a look.， However It was not forcibly seized.。
Once upon a time， Forcibly seizing it might trigger self-destruction.！ Secondly, they have already stepped into the realm of deities.， In their respective eras, they each established unified empires.， All Is At that time, there existed an unparalleled being in the human world.， He had no greed for that treasure.。
“ What a pity。” Chiu Qiu Bai shook his head lightly.， He also felt that Dongbo Xueying was in grave danger.，“ If he were alive， Our Anyang Province will soon have another Transcendent.， Moreover, judging by his innate talent and potential… It has taken over a hundred years to produce such a one.， In the realm of fantasy, one might journey far beyond the ordinary.， What a pity What a pity。”
“ Chi Qiu Bai， Keep training and refining yourself.， I can Is It’s very nice to see you.， Perhaps one day you may have the chance to inherit the treasures left behind by my master.， However You, at this moment， Still far from it.。” Below The black dragon’s head let out a laugh.。
“ Farewell。” Chi Qiu Bai Turned his head and walked away.。
Rip。
A rift in space appears.， Chi Qiu Bai He stepped directly into the rift in space and vanished without a trace.。
