At the Yanfeng Hall, the unfamiliar Divine Lord "Cleaving Edge," who had just arrived yesterday, reappeared, this time being led by a servant to a secluded palace far from the main building, where he met the Vice Master of the Yanfeng Hall.
After all, Cleaving Edge had just taken on a large number of assassination missions in Highrock City yesterday through the Dark Hall Token. Now, only one night later, Yanfeng Hall had confirmed through the bounty cause and effect that over a hundred of these mission targets had died. Moreover, no powerful figures or forces in the entire Highrock City had noticed any movement. This was enough to pique the interest of the deputy guild master.
He wouldn't value an ordinary Eternal True God unless they had a powerful background, but now, he's quite interested.
Based on Ye Muxuan's understanding and perception, this smiling deputy master should be an energy being, leaning towards the kind of Chaos Thunder. Moreover, Ye Muxuan sensed the aura of three Chaos Treasure on him.
Even richer than Dusk Cloud Tree.
His ability to pinpoint the leaders of various factions within the vast Highrock City, aside from the intelligence he acquired at the Yanfeng Hall, stemmed primarily from this intuitive ability. Regardless of their faction's Controller, those in Highrock City typically carried their secret treasures with them at all times, given that this was the front lines of war. For an Eternal True God to possess two Chaos Treasures, yet publicly identify as Pharmacist, is he not a spy?
Therefore, Ye Muxuan went to "visit" those members who possessed numerous secret treasures that were disproportionate to his status, and basically killed them one by one.
"Nightfall Divine Lord, please have a seat." The smiling deputy director looked at Ye Muxuan. With the intelligence capabilities of the Yanfeng Hall, he already knew Ye Muxuan's identity when Cleaving Edge.
He was merely an Eternal True God, and neither the Yanfeng Hall nor even the Vice Guild Master himself cared about him. His sudden desire to meet this Nightfall Divine Lord was simply out of curiosity.
Ye Muxuan sat opposite him, and the deputy master stood up and poured wine into the glass in front of Ye Muxuan.
"This is a fine wine made from the blood of the God King Level beast, the Myriad Worlds Ice Wind Beast," the deputy curator said with a smile, not in a hurry to hand over the mission to Ye Muxuan. "How about you try this wine?"
Ye Muxuan's expression turned serious, his gaze fixed on the wine in the glass, which faintly reflected the illusion of a strange beast roaring to the sky.
Using the blood of God King Level alien beast as material?
Whether it tastes good or not doesn't matter; given its rarity, he'd even taste it to see if it's salty enough!
He knew about the Myriad Worlds Ice Wind Beast; it had been mentioned in the Duan Donghe Inheritance, the God King of Jin, and the Great Sage Xihe, and that a single scale on its body was a universe. However, he had only heard of the fine wine made from its blood, but had never tasted it.
Ye Muxuan picked up his wine glass, took a sip, and savored it. A cool sensation spread throughout his soul, bringing him immense comfort.
"This wine has a nourishing effect on the soul; drinking one cup can enhance one's comprehension for a whole day," the deputy curator said with a smile, looking at Ye Muxuan.
Enhance comprehension?
Ye Muxuan did indeed feel a "cool" and "relaxed" comfort deep within his soul, which even subtly improved the efficiency of his soul's circulation. However, having been taking the Time-Space Liquid for some time, while he enjoyed this feeling, it wasn't enough to aid his cultivation.
"Indeed, excellent wine." Setting down his glass, Ye Muxuan nodded, acknowledging the wine's effects.
Upon hearing this, the deputy curator was slightly taken aback, and his smile, which had previously seemed to indicate complete control, faded somewhat.
Those who can endorse the effects of this fine wine without batting an eye have either tasted it before or have tasted something even better.
Of course, he didn't consider this thing as a cultivation resource. Fine wine is ultimately just a pastime and enjoyment. Only Ye Muxuan, who came from the barren Universe Ocean, would value everything in terms of cultivation.
If it can't be used for cultivation or to increase strength, what's the difference between it and trash?
Born into the lineage of the Emperor Lord of the Yanfeng Ancient Kingdom, how could he, as the deputy head of the Yanfeng Hall, lack cultivation resources? He was merely traveling and relaxing, and incidentally taking on the role of deputy head of the guild.
"To be able to kill Dusk Cloud Tree so silently, Nightfall Divine Lord very strong." The deputy curator's face returned to its usual smiling expression as he changed the subject, saying, "So, Nightfall Divine Lord is here to collect the bounty, right?"
"Yes." Ye Muxuan replied, and with a wave of his hand, the enormous corpse of Dusk Cloud Tree appeared in the palace. Its divine body was completely unharmed, but its consciousness had long been severed. At this moment, it was as if it were asleep, but there was no trace of life.
The deputy curator glanced at the corpse, expressionless, but a sense of dread quietly crept into his heart.
As revealed in the intelligence, those powerful beings who fell at the hands of the Nightfall Divine Lord, whether they were weak Void True God or Eternal True God of the same level, were all killed by their consciousness, their divine bodies remaining completely unharmed.
With the methods of the Yanfeng Hall, the time it took Ye Muxuan to travel from Snowfield City to Highrock City was enough to transmit the information he revealed to all the cities with branches throughout the Origin Continent.
As the highest commander on the front lines of the battle between the two God Kingdom, Dusk Cloud Tree was merely the leader of these spies, but his will had absolutely reached the Chaos Master Level. Even so, he was still easily killed by the Nightfall Divine Lord, and it was by Will Execution.
The methods of the Nightfall Divine Lord were unfamiliar and terrifying.
He has definitely cultivated some kind of secret technique for killing with his will, and it is at least God King Level inheritance.
A thousand thoughts raced through his mind, but the deputy curator merely glanced at it before saying, "It is indeed the Dusk Cloud Tree. The target is correct. Nightfall Divine Lord can receive the full bounty for the Twilight Dusk Cloud Tree."
The bounty on Dusk Cloud Tree was second only to Gao Yanzheng in Highrock City, with a total bounty of 950,000 Cosmic Sand, which now all belonged to Ye Muxuan.
"The Nightfall Divine Lord has completed more than one mission, hasn't he?" The deputy curator looked at Ye Muxuan with a smile and said, "The karma here has dissipated from more than just one Dusk Cloud Tree."
"If you see any that look good on the road, just kill them all." Ye Muxuan waved his hand, and hundreds of corpses, large and small, appeared in the hall. They were all different in appearance and race, but the only thing they had in common was that their consciousness had been severed.
The deputy curator stared at the hundreds of corpses, then looked at Ye Muxuan, and the fear deep in his eyes finally turned into solemnity.
There are a total of 77 Void True God and 42 Eternal True God here, including four Eternal True God and thirteen Void True God. Although they are all familiar to the Yanfeng Hall and there is information about them, Yanfeng Hall had not received any information about their entry into Highrock City before seeing their corpses!
"The Nightfall Divine Lord truly lives up to his reputation." The deputy curator's gaze shifted from one of the Eternal True God to Ye Muxuan, his attitude changing from condescension to apprehension, and now to caution. This corpse was once an extremely ancient Eternal True God active within the Shi Kingdom's territory, but he had fallen into seclusion for a long time. Most of the powerful figures who knew of his existence assumed he was in seclusion preparing to challenge for the Chaos Overlord, never expecting him to perish in this small Highrock City.
"The total bounty for these targets is 4,658,500 Cosmic Sand." The deputy curator looked at Ye Muxuan, waved his hand, and a cyan jade bottle appeared in the hall. He then said, "The high-ranking members of the Shi Kingdom's spies in Highrock City have basically been removed. It seems that Nightfall Divine Lord has quite a few grievances against the Shi Kingdom."
In Snowfield City, the Nightfall Divine Lord made a sudden move, killing only the leader of the city's dark forces. But this time in Highrock City, he wiped out the entire group of the Shi Kingdom's secret agents in one fell swoop. No one would believe the Nightfall Divine Lord didn't do it on purpose.
"I had a good friend who died because of some legion-type Mechanical Flow Treasure," Ye Muxuan said, looking at the deputy curator. "So I have to do something about it."
"Would Nightfall Divine Lord be interested in working for the Yanfeng Hall?" Although the Yanfeng Hall is backed by the Yanfeng Ancient Kingdom, it also recruits members throughout the continent. "I can make the decision; I'll give you a steward position right now."
In each branch of the Yanfeng Hall, the two highest-ranking members are the guild masters, followed by sixteen stewards. In Highrock City, a steward is considered second only to the two masters and above millions of others.
Even if the Shi Kingdom is able to break through Highrock City, and knows that Dusk Cloud Tree died at Ye Muxuan's hands, as long as he is still the steward of the Yanfeng Hall, even the Tiankun Kingdom Lord will have to cover his eyes and pretend not to know about this!
Members of the Yanfeng Hall treat all "strong individuals" from outside the Ancient Country with equal disregard.
