Xiao Ding returned to the Great Yan Sect and pinned all the blame on Jiang Chen. The people of the Great Yan Sect were furious, so they issued a kill order for Jiang Chen. No matter who it was, as long as they brought Jiang Chen's head, the Great Yan Sect would pay a generous reward.
The size of these rewards set countless hearts pounding.
That was because the price on Jiang Chen's head was now comparable to that of a powerhouse in the Martial Saint Realm, Fourth Level.
The key was that Jiang Chen was only in the Martial Venerable Realm, yet the price on his head had reached that of a powerhouse in the Martial Saint Realm, Fourth Level.
Many people were itching to make a move, eager to earn this fortune. Large numbers of mercenaries wanted to kill Jiang Chen.
The Great Yan Sect issued the bounty through the Mission Hall. Jiang Chen's head could be turned in at the Mission Hall or directly to the Great Yan Sect.
Although the sect's higher-ups were furious when Xiao Ding returned to the Great Yan Sect gravely wounded, they punished him only by making him face the wall for three months and withholding half a year's wages.
Xiao Ding had no objections to such punishment.
After all, losing so many elite disciples was also a considerable loss for the Great Yan Sect.
Xiao Ding had to take responsibility for it. The punishment was light only because he was a powerhouse in the Martial Saint Realm and was of tremendous value to the sect.
If someone in the Martial Venerable Realm had made such a grave mistake and caused the sect such a huge loss, the punishment would definitely have been harsher than this.
The world had never been fair.
