If you think about it carefully, it is not strange. The Xuanming Sect has to guard against the other two major forces on the one hand, and stabilize the internal territory on the other hand. There are not enough practitioners. Naturally, there is not much manpower and material resources to eradicate those demons in the more chaotic areas such as the border areas.
Therefore, Xuanming Sect made public the bounty missions for the demons who had committed evil in the territory of Xuanming Sect, just like the cultivation forces in Zichen Continent had directly offered a bounty to eliminate the remnants of the Corpse God Sect in order to deal with the Corpse God Sect. Any cultivator could accept the bounty, and as long as they completed the mission requirements, they would get the reward. Although this would cost more, it would also be more deterrent to those demons, making them dare not easily enter the sphere of influence of Xuanming Sect to commit evil.
"I wonder where I can accept these bounty missions?" Yang Qi asked hurriedly.
Killing the devil can not only hone oneself but also gain considerable rewards. It is simply the best way to hone oneself. Yang Qi will naturally not miss such an opportunity.
"These bounty missions can be accepted at any branch of our Xuanming Sect." As the burly man spoke, his hand moved and a heritage crystal appeared. He then continued, "This is a star map to several nearby branches."
Yang Qi took the inheritance crystal and said gratefully, "Thank you, fellow Taoist."
Although it was easy to inquire about the several branches of Xuanming Sect, the burly man took the initiative to give him the star map of the destination, which was considered a favor.
"It's just a piece of cake."
The burly man smiled calmly, then looked at Yang Qi and said solemnly, "But there are some things I want to remind you, fellow Taoist."
Looking at the burly man with a serious face, Yang Qi was stunned, and then said seriously, "Fellow Daoist, please speak."
"I see that you are very powerful, but the demons in the border area are not just at the Martial King level, there are also demons at the Martial Emperor level. Even our Xuanming Sect team will suffer losses occasionally." The burly man paused before continuing, "Moreover, the evildoers in the border area are not only demons, but also some practitioners from the Qingxuan Sect. These people are secretly colluding with the demons."
"The people of Qingxuan Sect are colluding with the devil?"
Yang Qi was stunned, looking at the burly man in disbelief.
Qingxuan Sect is a cultivation force with a mid-level Martial Emperor in charge, and there is more than one Martial Emperor. Such a cultivation force actually colluded with these evil demons. With the foundation of Qingxuan Sect, there is no need to do this? After all, once the news spreads, the image of Qingxuan Sect in the hearts of ordinary practitioners will inevitably plummet.
"The people from Qingxuan Sect colluded with the devil not for resources, but just to make it more difficult for our Xuanming Sect to stabilize." The burly man explained.
After hearing the burly man's explanation, Yang Qi also understood that the practitioners of Qingxuan Sect really did not need to do the evil things, but if it was to deal with Xuanming Sect, that would be a different matter.
Compared with the two major powers, the Xuanming Sect itself is more stable, prosperous, and has a deeper foundation. In addition, the leader of this generation has worked hard to govern, and the strength of the Xuanming Sect has grown a lot. As one of the three major forces, how could the Qingxuan Sect watch the Xuanming Sect grow stronger
The Qingxuan Sect certainly cannot interfere in the territory of the Xuanming Sect. Although they secretly collude with the devil, they can constantly harass and destroy, thus restraining the Xuanming Sect. In this way, it is not difficult to explain why the Qingxuan Sect secretly colluded with the devil.
“No matter whether they are practitioners of Qingxuan Sect or demons at the Martial Emperor level, their strength should not be underestimated. Fellow Daoist, you must not be careless.” The burly man reminded.
"I understand."
Yang Qi nodded slightly. With his current strength, practitioners below the Martial Emperor level posed almost no threat to him. However, practitioners at the Martial Emperor level were still not something he could contend with.
After parting with the burly man and his group, Yang Qi immediately rushed to the nearest branch of the Xuanming Sect in the nearest star field. Compared with other places, the cultivation world where the Xuanming Sect branch is located is obviously much more prosperous, which is inseparable from the Xuanming Sect's own active maintenance of stability and development of exchanges.
When Yang Qi arrived at the branch of Xuanming Sect, he immediately saw a huge bounty list. This was not surprising. Xuanming Sect itself was a cultivation force, and the branch here was established to deal with Qingxuan Sect. The internal area was inaccessible to other practitioners. Ordinary practitioners who came to the branch of Xuanming Sect could only come to this bounty list and could not go anywhere else.
There were already quite a few practitioners in the hall, but most of them were in groups of three or five, and they were all quite strong, mostly nine-star martial kings. This star field was relatively chaotic, and if one did not have any strength, accepting a bounty mission might not only result in failure to complete the mission, but also cost one's life.
"To kill the Blood Demon Ancestor, one must be a Martial Emperor..."
"To kill the Corpse Gu Master, one must have the strength of a Martial Emperor..."
Yang Qi's eyes fell on the bounty list. The bounties at the top basically required the strength of a Martial Emperor. Since those demons were all at the Martial Emperor level, of course the rewards were also quite generous.
The bounty missions are not only issued by the Xuanming Sect, but also by some practitioners who have been oppressed by those demons. However, the identity of the demons needs to be confirmed. The bounty missions on the bounty list are only for the demons who have committed many evil deeds, and no bounties will be issued for ordinary practitioners!
With Yang Qi's current strength, he is unable to carry out those bounty missions for killing Martial Emperor-level practitioners, so he soon set his sights on bounty missions for killing Martial King-level practitioners.
"The Ten Thousand Wizard Kings, Wizard Cultivators, and the Peak Martial King..."
"The Thunder Dragon King, a member of the demon beast clan, is a Thunder Dragon with dragon blood, at the peak of the Martial King level..."
Yang Qi's eyes quickly searched for bounty missions at the Martial King level, but the bounties he searched for were all at the Martial King Peak level, and they were all for relatively powerful Martial King Peak demons.
For example, the King of Ten Thousand Witches is a wizard cultivator, and the King of Thunder Dragons is a member of the monster clan. These kinds of demons at the peak of Martial King level are more powerful than ordinary Martial King peak practitioners, and they also offer the most difficult bounty missions at the Martial King level.
"The King of Ten Thousand Wizards is fine!"
Yang Qi's eyes focused, and he quickly determined the target of the bounty mission, which was the famous Wanwu King among the peak demons of the Martial King. According to the bounty list, the Wanwu King once slaughtered nearly half of the creatures in the cultivation world in order to study the way of witchcraft. Compared with this kind of big demon, the big demon king Fike and the corpse ancestor are not on the same level at all!
There were more than billions of living beings in the cultivation world, but they were slaughtered by the Ten Thousand Witch Kings. If a Martial Emperor who passed by hadn't discovered them, I'm afraid that whole cultivation world would have been slaughtered completely!
Yang Qi quickly came to the bounty mission acceptance point and said directly to the practitioner in charge of mission acceptance, "Daoyou, I want to accept the bounty mission to kill the Ten Thousand Witch King."
"Are you going to accept the mission to kill the King of Ten Thousand Witches?"
Hearing Yang Qi's words, the man was slightly stunned. (To be continued)
