I Fabricated the Techniques, but my disciple really mastered them? - Chapter 410

Chapter 410: 231
 

With a frown, he said, “Head to Qinglin City to inquire, and while at it, search for information. Why do Spirit Sect and the Su Family want to capture that young man? What’s their purpose?”

“Yes, Hall Master!”

The middle-aged man hurried off.

In Qinglin City, at Thundercloud Pavilion, Xu Yan’s bounty was still active.

However, it was rumored that a martial artist had provided clues about the young man and received a reward.

The deacons of Spirit Sect and Su Family had already gone to make the capture.

The martial artists within Thundercloud Pavilion couldn’t help but envy the loose cultivator. Not only had he received the reward, but he also pleased Spirit Sect and Su Family. If the deacons favored him, he might have a chance to join Spirit Sect and Su Family.

Once becoming a martial artist of a sect or family, even as a lowly affiliated martial artist, it was much better than being a loose cultivator.

The middle-aged man entered the Thundercloud Pavilion, found several martial artists of the Wanshi Alliance, and quietly communicated with them. What puzzled him was that there were no reports of the young man’s capture.

Had it not been announced, or had they failed to capture him?

The bounty was still active, not cancelled; did this mean that the Spirit Sect and Su Family hadn’t returned yet?

Or perhaps they had taken the person somewhere else and hadn’t had time to cancel the bounty?

A day later.

Two elderly men appeared in the Thundercloud Pavilion, followed by several martial artists exuding a solemn aura.

The martial artists in Thundercloud Pavilion instantly felt a chill.

These were Divine Refinement Celestials!

Moreover, they were Divine Refinement Celestials from Spirit Sect and Su Family, and the few people behind them were the martial guards responsible for chasing and executing opposing martial artists!

The middle-aged man’s heart chilled, a shocking thought came to mind.

Were the deacons of Spirit Sect and Su Family killed by the young man?

He was so young, yet capable of killing the deacons of a sect and a noble family?

It was known that martial artists from sects and families had more powerful cultivation techniques compared to those practiced by loose cultivators, thus they were generally stronger.

Of course, there were also powerful loose cultivators who could match the sect and family martial artists in the same realm, but such loose cultivators were rare.

Moreover, it was due to the opportunities they received and the powerful techniques they practiced.

“Provide the whereabouts of this person, reward one million Spirit Crystals, one bottle of Divine Soul Pills; capture this person, reward one bottle of Divine Soul Pills, one low-grade Spiritual Artifact.”

An elder of Spirit Sect said solemnly.

Instantly, the martial artists in Thundercloud Pavilion became excited.

“Provide the clues, assist in capturing this person, and you may gain entrance to the Su Family’s outer martial guard.”

An elder of the Su Family spoke up.

The loose cultivators were immediately thrilled—this was their chance to leave the ranks of loose cultivators and become a martial artist of a noble family!

In an instant, many loose cultivators hurried off to track down Xu Yan’s whereabouts.

The news spread and gradually dispersed, and within a day, the whole of Yuzhou was aware.

Spirit Sect and Su Family, jointly pursuing a loose cultivator.

This created a shakeup in Yuzhou’s Martial Arts Realm, far more shocking than Dai Family chasing Wen Yong.

Spirit Sect was the leading sect of Yuzhou, the first among the top three, while Su Family was also one of the top five families. Their joint action against a loose cultivator was an unprecedented event in the history of Yuzhou’s Martial Arts Realm!

Dai Family, after all, was only a second-rate family!

The various forces in Yuzhou were all investigating Xu Yan’s identity, wondering who he was.

They were also seeking why Spirit Sect and Su Family were pursuing this young man.

Before long, many forces and some well-informed loose cultivators knew the reason!

The Tomb of the Green Heaven Flood Dragon!

The young man had fought with the corpse of the Green Heaven Flood Dragon, and after the battle, the whereabouts of the Flood Dragon were unknown, while Spirit Sect and Su Family were tracking down the matter of the Flood Dragon.

Resultantly, the deacon who went to capture the young man died!

There was no need to ask; it must have been the young man who killed him.

That was why Spirit Sect and Su Family were provoked and issued the bounty!

“So that’s how it is!”

The Hall Master of Wanshi Alliance expressed a dawning realization.

“Search for his whereabouts. A person of such spirit, who dares to offend sects and noble families, is precisely what our Wanshi Alliance is lacking!”

“Yes, Hall Master!”

Wanshi Alliance was in action, searching for Xu Yan’s whereabouts.

As for the identity of Xu Yan, no one yet knew.

In a city, Shen Haizhou murmured to himself, “This brother, truly fierce indeed. People from Spirit Sect and Su Family, mercilessly killed by him. He is indeed the one who subdued the Green Heaven Flood Dragon.

“What an opportunity this is! This brother being pursued, if I can help him escape danger, wouldn’t our friendship be established?”

Excitedly, Shen Haizhou urgently engaged the Shen Family’s intelligence system to join the search for Xu Yan.

“If all goes well, this brother should be fleeing Yuzhou, and most likely, he would escape through the wilderness of Mang Mountain.”

Shen Haizhou speculated.

Mang Mountain on the frontier of Yuzhou was the obligatory route for countless fleeing loose cultivators.

Once entering Mang Mountain, one could use its vastness to evade pursuit and have a greater chance of escaping Yuzhou.

Although the loose cultivators all knew that the sects and families would focus their search on Mang Mountain, escaping from other places offered even slimmer chances.

Only Mang Mountain offered a chance.

Moreover, spanning thousands of miles, Spirit Sect and noble families could not guard it thoroughly.

Shen Haizhou set off for Mang Mountain, his heart brimming with excitement, “I have a premonition that this brother is definitely a fierce one, just like the Blood Demon back then!”

Xu Yan advanced, heading straight for Mang Mountain.

“I feel some trouble brewing. Yu Shen Sect and the Su Family might block you at Mang Mountain!”

Yu Xiaolong said worriedly.

“How would they know that I’m going to Mang Mountain?”

Xu Yan frowned.

“Mang Mountain is the escape haven for Loose Cultivators, all who have offended the Spirit Sect and noble families flee from Yuzhou through Mang Mountain.”

Yu Xiaolong said helplessly.

Xu Yan furrowed his brow and said, “Where in Mang Mountain is the Dragon Spirit Energy? Could it be discovered?”

“Mang Mountain is vast; it wouldn’t be easily found. As long as you can enter Mang Mountain, there should be no big problem.”

Yu Xiaolong spoke somberly.

“Entering Mang Mountain is not difficult.”

Xu Yan said confidently.

Suddenly, his expression changed, and he looked sideways at a figure not far away.

There, a martial artist held a scroll, glancing at him while also looking down at the scroll.

“Quick, kill him!”

Yu Xiaolong exclaimed urgently.

Without needing his prompt, Xu Yan already slashed with his sword.

His figure moved, appearing instantly before the man.

Puff!

The martial artist was killed instantly, and from his attire, he seemed to be from a third-rate noble family.

Xu Yan seized the scroll; the depicted figure was handsome and held a sword to his chest.

“Very well, Yu Shen Sect and the Su Family, I remember you now!”

Xu Yan said coldly.

True Yuan surged, and the scroll instantly turned to flying ash.

Xu Yan pondered for a moment. It wouldn’t do to be so conspicuous, flying through the air made it too easy to be noticed.

Descending from the air, Xu Yan changed his clothes and controlled his True Yuan, causing his facial muscles to twitch and his appearance to alter.

“You changing your face won’t fool anyone.”

Yu Xiaolong said gravely.

“If they don’t scrutinize closely, they won’t notice.”

Xu Yan smiled nonchalantly.

Unless someone came close to scrutinize, they would not detect his altered appearance.

Then, he used the Dust Technique. His aura changed, blending in with the surroundings.

Yu Xiaolong was a bit amazed; it wrapped around Xu Yan’s wrist, feeling some changes in Xu Yan’s air but thought no more of it.

“Let’s go, head to Mang Mountain quickly.”

Xu Yan felt some urgency in his heart; the Tongxuan Realm was ultimately too weak.

Now being pursued by Yu Shen Sect and the Su Family, he must breakthrough Divine Intent Realm quickly, as only after breaking through the Divine Intent Realm would he truly have the confidence to face the pursuit from these two major powers.

Moreover, after breaking through the Divine Intent Realm, his Sudden Wind Sword Intent would also transform, becoming even more powerful—even the Divine Soul of a Divine Refinement Celestial might not be unbeatable!

The Divine Intent Realm was a critical barrier; after breaking through, the profound abilities of martial artists could truly unleash their powerful capabilities.

Walking through the forest, Xu Yan maintained a brisk pace.

Swoosh!

A Celestial martial artist searched from above.

Xu Yan used the Dust Technique, and the other party did not notice his presence; in the Celestial’s search, Xu Yan was no more than a piece of wood next to a large tree.

In the following days, more Celestial martial artists continued their search and pursuit.

“It’s just like Yu Shen Sect and the Su Family to keep sending one Celestial after another; they really think highly of me, Xu Yan.”

Xu Yan exclaimed.

Was it just for killing two Deacons that they mobilized so greatly?

“Perhaps, it’s not because I killed their people, but for the Azure Heaven Flood Dragon.”

Xu Yan reflected aloud.

Continuing towards Mang Mountain, more martial artists came to inspect, and Xu Yan had no choice but to keep moving toward the wilderness, a land of tall mountains and dense forests.

He also understood why Loose Cultivators chose to flee Yuzhou through Mang Mountain.

It was because the journey to Mang Mountain was characterized by numerous mountains and dense forests, providing ample cover.

Suddenly, Xu Yan’s expression changed.

His hand reached into his sleeve, grasping Yu Xiaolong by the neck, and he instantly hid amongst a cluster of thorny weeds and grass.
