"Hall Master Wang!"
In the car, Ye Cang spoke respectfully.
"You killed Xue Qing?"
Wang Xu grunted and then asked casually.
"Yes!"
Ye Cang replied calmly.
"Do you know Xue Long?"
"Yes, I heard he's become a War Venerable now?"
Ye Cang leaned back in his seat, his tone perfectly even, completely unfazed by the title 'War Venerable' or what it represented.
But beside him, Wang Xu's expression faltered as he glanced at Ye Cang's indifferent look.
A few moments later.
"Don't worry! You're a member of our Divine Firmament Martial Arts Hall. As long as I'm here in Crimson Cloud City, Xue Long won't dare to do anything to you."
"However, once you leave the city, it will be troublesome. Our Divine Firmament Martial Arts Hall doesn't have any War Venerable experts stationed in Crimson Cloud City, so I can't protect you."
"Therefore, you can't go back right now, nor can you reveal your whereabouts, lest you attract unwanted attention."
Wang Xu explained in a deep voice.
Ever since his falling out with Xue Long, he had rushed back and immediately investigated the entire affair.
Then, he paid extreme attention to Ye Cang's information.
When Ye Cang's Warrior account received income, he hurried over.
"You can comprehend Artistic Conception with just Warrior-level strength. Your martial talent is truly heaven-defying, so I've reported your situation and received a reply."
"In a few more days, an expert from the Martial Arts Hall in Vermilion Bird King City will come to bring you to the King City for training. So, for this period, don't think about anything else, just stay in the Martial Arts Hall and cultivate with peace of mind."
Wang Xu spoke unhurriedly, having already arranged everything.
"Thank you, Hall Master Wang!"
Hearing this, Ye Cang felt a warmth in his heart and expressed his gratitude.
Soon, the two arrived at their destination.
The Divine Firmament Martial Arts Hall!
On the floor where Generals were located, Wang Xu directly arranged a room for Ye Cang.
"Rest here for now. Daily necessities and meals for the next few days will be handled by dedicated staff. You don't need to worry."
After giving his instructions, Wang Xu turned and left the room.
As soon as Wang Xu left, Ye Cang collapsed onto the large bed and fell asleep.
He had been out for a day and a half, and coupled with the confrontation with the Scorpion Three, his nerves had been constantly on edge.
Only now could he truly relax.
Before long, he had already fallen into a deep sleep.
Meanwhile.
Wang Xu, who hadn't reached his office yet, looked at the two messages on his phone, a look of horror flashing in his eyes.
One was a push notification.
The image attached to the message showed three dead figures with scorpion tattoos on their bodies.
The surrounding area depicted a brutal battle scene.
The three had died not far from Crimson Cloud City, so it was only natural that their bodies were discovered.
Moreover, to claim the bounty, their identities needed to be verified by the Martial Arts Hall, so Ye Cang hadn't destroyed the bodies.
"Well killed! These three scourges have finally been dealt with!"
Looking at the information in the report and the characteristics of the Scorpion Three, Wang Xu was ninety to ninety percent certain that these were the infamous Scorpion Three Generals.
These three had roamed the surrounding subordinate cities, hunting and killing many Warriors who returned from the Gray Mist zone, including many from the Divine Firmament Martial Arts Hall.
However, these three had always worn masks to conceal their faces, hiding their identities extremely well. Even the information passed back made it difficult to ascertain their true identities.
This had always been a headache for him.
He hadn't expected them to fall within the territory of Crimson Cloud City this time.
Looking at the report, Wang Xu's mood greatly improved.
He then opened the second message.
This message came from the 'Divine Firmament Palace'.
Upon opening it, he saw it was a claim for the bounty of the Scorpion Three Generals.
"Hmm? They're already claiming the bounty so quickly. It seems the news of the Scorpion Three Generals' deaths is even more reliable. However, the process still needs to be followed."
Wang Xu flipped through the submitted materials while muttering to himself. When he reached the end and saw the applicant's name, his pupils constricted sharply.
Ye Cang!!!
The moment he recognized the name, Wang Xu's hand trembled violently, nearly dropping his phone.
The next day.
Ye Cang slept until noon before slowly waking up.
He stretched, feeling refreshed and invigorated.
Looking into his sea of consciousness, his mental energy was full.
Hearing the movement, someone knocked on the door.
He opened it to find personnel arranged by Wang Xu, bringing various supplies and the prepared lunch.
After washing up and eating, Ye Cang lay on the bed and opened his phone.
Logging into 'Divine Firmament Palace', he checked the status of his bounty claim and was surprised to find the reward had already been credited.
The reviewer was Wang Xu.
"Huh? The review was quite fast!"
Ye Cang exclaimed in surprise, then checked his assets.
[Contribution Points: (One-star)
Currency Balance: 180.8 million Huaxia Coins]
"Still quite a bit short of buying a Dragon Marrow Paste!"
Ye Cang sighed, but his eyes quickly lit up. He searched for 'Dragon Marrow Paste' in the item shop.
Soon, a listing appeared on the screen.
[Dragon Marrow Paste: 240 million Huaxia Coins (full price) or 180,000 Contribution Points]
Looking at the price, a hint of joy appeared in Ye Cang's eyes.
The internal price was a 20% discount.
While it seemed like a small discount, it saved him sixty million Huaxia Coins.
"If I exchange using Contribution Points, it's 60% of the external price. It's actually so cheap."
However, Ye Cang quickly realized.
Contribution Points could only be obtained by hunting fierce beasts. If he could hunt a fierce beast worth 180,000 Contribution Points, the materials he obtained would be more than enough to buy a Dragon Marrow Paste.
"One more trip out, and Wu Guang can fully recover."
Muttering to himself, Ye Cang continued to browse 'Divine Firmament Palace'.
Supplementing his knowledge of martial arts.
Suddenly, a notification caught his attention.
In the Combat Skill section, he saw a book about Psionic Energy.
[Detailed Explanation of Psionic Energy, Category: Psionic Energy. Rating: General. Price: 100 million Huaxia Coins (full price) or 50,000 Contribution Points]
Looking at the brief description, Ye Cang casually clicked on the cover of the combat skill.
The page flipped, displaying a detailed introduction to this combat skill.
After reading for a while, Ye Cang was filled with excitement.
Comparing it with the description, his current use of Psionic Energy was very crude.
Normally, a Psionic Energy General could simultaneously control nine Psionic Energy weapons to unleash their peak combat power.
For example, with his current cultivation as an intermediate Psionic Energy General, he could control nine 'King Slayer Flying Swords' to simultaneously unleash seventy thousand kilograms of force.
Then, manipulating these 'King Slayer Flying Swords' to attack would be equivalent to nine Warriors at the early stage of High-level General surrounding and beating an enemy.
But now, he could only control one 'King Slayer Flying Sword' at a time to unleash seventy thousand kilograms of force.
Although many flying swords were involved in the battle with the Scorpion Three Generals, only one was ever truly unleashing its ultimate power at any given moment.
The gap between the two was indeed enormous.
If he could have unleashed the ultimate power of nine 'King Slayer Flying Swords' simultaneously as described in the book, then annihilating the Scorpion Three Generals would have taken mere seconds, and he wouldn't have had to fight so arduously.
"This book is simply a guiding light for my Psionic Energy cultivation!"
Without hesitation, Ye Cang directly selected and paid for it, completing the transaction in one smooth motion.
