"Senior Hong you…"
The young man looked at this scene. There was surprise in his eyes as well as deep emotion.
He truly had not expected that in such a dangerous situation the other party would still dare to speak up for him.
However Liu Bai saw everything very clearly. Just now he had only revealed a slight look of interest toward the young man and that old man had keenly sensed it. Only then did this plea for mercy occur.
It had to be said that the saying people grow shrewd with age was indeed correct. At the very least among everyone present only this old man could tell that Liu Bai had no killing intent toward the young man.
Liu Bai did not feel any disgust toward this. It was merely the way small figures survived. Perhaps others would despise it but there was no need to make a big issue out of it.
At the very least this time the other party had once again saved his own life.
Liu Bai raised his hand and five colored radiance burst forth. In an instant it enveloped everyone present. There were no screams and no pleas for mercy. When the light dispersed nothing remained at the original spot.
Several hundred people in the area were now reduced to only one young man and one old man standing before him.
"You two will follow me from now on."
Liu Bai did not ask for their opinions and directly announced his decision.
The young man looked somewhat unhappy but the old man beside him was overjoyed. He immediately tugged at the young man's sleeve then took the lead and knelt on one knee while loudly saying "Hong San thanks my lord for taking us in."
Seeing that the young man still had no intention of speaking Hong San immediately became anxious. "Yun brat Yun brat hurry and kneel. You little rascal do not be stubborn at a time like this."
With a single raise of his hand the other party had instantly killed a group of First-Grade and Second-Grade Sovereigns. Leaving the two of them alive meant they probably could not even withstand a single glance from him. Being stubborn at such a moment would truly only lead to death.
"Oh. You are unwilling?"
Liu Bai narrowed his eyes slightly. His voice carried no fluctuation but Hong San was already drenched in cold sweat. His old face kept twitching as he cried out inwardly that his old life was finished.
Faced with the pressure rushing toward him from Liu Bai the young man's mind trembled as well. Still he took a deep breath and said "I bear a great enmity. My enemy's power is immense. Taking me in may bring you trouble."
The young man had originally thought that after hearing this the terrifying figure before him might hesitate. What he did not expect was that the other party only smiled lightly and spoke.
"Oh. Then tell me. Is there any force in the North Region that I dare not provoke?"
This sounded like bragging but in truth Liu Bai really was not afraid. At worst it was merely one of the seven top tier forces. Liu Bai did not believe those existences would fall out with the Great Heavenlaw Domain over a mere Second-Grade Sovereign.
Moreover the Great Hunting Battle was not far off. When the time came the North Region would inevitably undergo another massive reshuffling. If his planning was done well it might even allow the Great Heavenlaw Domain to become the hegemon of the North Region even earlier.
Seeing Liu Bai like this the young man no longer hid anything and directly said "My true name is Zhan Taiyun. My enemy is the strongest among the seven top tier forces the Divine Pavilion. May I ask whether my lord is still willing to take me in or will you hand me over to the Divine Pavilion to claim merit?"
It was clear that Zhan Taiyun already had a broken pot broken throw attitude. Even his speech no longer trembled.
Liu Bai frowned slightly. "Zhan Taiyun Divine Pavilion…"
A name appeared in his mind. Zhan Tai Liuli. A genius girl whose battle intent could rival Mu Chen. She was also the strongest battle intent genius within the Divine Pavilion. Even many of the Divine Pavilion's armies had been trained by her personally.
Recalling the information about this battle intent genius girl it seemed that Zhan Tai Liuli's family had indeed been destroyed by the Divine Pavilion. Afterward the Divine Pavilion used her younger sister as leverage and forced her to serve them.
However during the Great Hunting Battle the Pavilion Master of the Divine Pavilion was killed and the Divine Pavilion was destroyed. Zhan Tai Liuli was rescued by Mu Chen and joined the Great Heavenlaw Domain.
At present Zhan Tai Liuli should already be within the Divine Pavilion. Because of her special status outsiders were still completely unaware of such a person.
"It seems the Zhan Tai clan truly has extraordinary talent to be able to give birth to so many battle intent geniuses. They are worth cultivating."
At this moment Hong San beside them tried his utmost to curl his body inward and reduce his presence.
How could he have known that the young man he had taken a liking to actually possessed such a special identity and even had enmity with a colossal force like the Divine Pavilion. If he had known earlier he would never have dared to get involved even if beaten to death.
At this moment the two of them waited quietly for Liu Bai's decision. Whether they lived or died depended entirely on a single thought from the man before them.
Zhan Taiyun clenched his fists tightly. His heart was filled with hatred. He hated the Divine Pavilion. He hated himself. But toward Liu Bai who now decided his life or death he did not harbor that much resentment.
He even hoped that the other party would kill him now. That way he would no longer have to shoulder such a hopeless hatred and continue living on in disgrace until he was completely crushed.
Sometimes death was not necessarily a form of release.
"Zhan Taiyun is it…"
Liu Bai's abrupt voice rang out causing both of their hearts to tremble.
"You are very good especially in terms of battle intent. I am currently lacking talents like you. As for the Divine Pavilion you do not need to worry. Although the Divine Pavilion is powerful my Great Heavenlaw Domain will not fear it. Cultivate diligently from now on. If you can nurture an army strong enough there may not be no chance for revenge."
"What?!" Zhan Taiyun's eyes widened as he stared at Liu Bai with an expression of utter disbelief.
"Y You are willing to take me in?"
Knowing that he had offended the Divine Pavilion yet still daring to accept him and even speaking of an opportunity for revenge. At this moment Zhan Taiyun felt as if his ears were playing tricks on him.
As for Hong San beside him he was already so excited that his eyes nearly popped out.
"It is the Great Heavenlaw Domain. Wonderful truly wonderful. Looks like this old man has finally come into his luck."
Since the other party came from the Great Heavenlaw Domain there was naturally no need to fear the Divine Pavilion. Moreover he was so young yet possessed such cultivation and strength. His status within the Great Heavenlaw Domain must be extremely high. He might even be a peerless genius like Fang Yi of the Divine Pavilion who represented an era. To serve under such a person was an opportunity one could only dream of.
Ignoring the emotional upheaval of the two Liu Bai raised his hand and summoned it back. The Heaven Heart Seal which was originally as massive as a mountain peak rapidly returned and finally landed lightly in Liu Bai's palm.
The earlier test had been quite good. Although the Heaven Heart Seal had a single function its power was indeed terrifying and fully worthy of its status as a divine artifact. However since this place had already been exposed it could no longer be used. Thus after a brief cleanup he directly left the area with Zhan Taiyun and Hong San.
When others later arrived at this mountain range they discovered that it was already completely deserted. Only the half collapsed mountain peak remained along with the empty mountain belly exposed by the collapse.
This instead made people even more convinced of the rumors regarding a relic treasure. It was just that they had arrived too late and the treasure had already been taken by someone else.
During the flight, Liu Bai did not pay attention to the quiet whispers behind him. He knew that with Hong San's shrewdness, he would definitely take the initiative to help Zhan Taiyun sort through some matters. This was also one of the reasons Liu Bai had kept him.
As for Liu Bai himself, he turned his attention to his attribute panel.
He had killed a large number of people, but most of the First-Grade Sovereigns provided pitifully little experience. Only the Second-Grade Sovereigns had some value. Even with several hundred people in total, they had only given him a little over six hundred thousand experience points, averaging not even five thousand experience per person.
However, with the sheer number involved, Liu Bai had gained quite a few spiritual pulse awakening points. After the Conquest War, his spiritual pulse awakening points had already exceeded nine thousand. Now they had directly reached twelve thousand, enough for him to awaken 5th-Grade Heavenly Pulse.
"5th-Grade Heavenly Pulse. That is only just reaching Ji Xuan's level of talent. It still looks pretty weak."
Liu Bai curled his lips.
The improvement of spiritual pulse had almost no effect on Liu Bai at his current stage and only served as preparation for the future. Thus, he did not really care. He still had plenty of time to raise his spiritual pulse level.
Several months had already passed since Liu Bai's previous closed door cultivation. He estimated that the matter of him killing the Golden Crystal Beast King had already fully fermented by now. He wondered what kind of situation the Myriad Beasts Plain was in at present.
Arriving at a nearby city, Liu Bai found an inn and the three of them stayed there. He then sent Hong San to take Zhan Taiyun out to gather information.
With Hong San's experience, this task was absolutely effortless for him.
The facts proved exactly that. The two of them returned very quickly.
"My lord, your guess was correct. Something big has really happened on the Myriad Beasts Plain." Hong San said hurriedly after seeing Liu Bai, his expression filled with shock and uncertainty.
"It is said that the Golden Crystal Beast King located in the Golden Crystal Mountain Range was killed. Even the many Sovereign Spiritual Beasts under it were wiped out. At present, the three great Beast Emperors in the depths are extremely enraged and have already begun searching for the culprit."
"Moreover, the Golden Lion Emperor among the three Beast Emperors has declared that if the true culprit cannot be found within one month, a beast tide will be launched, forcing all human forces within the Myriad Beasts Plain to pay the price."
Liu Bai raised his brows slightly upon hearing this.
He naturally knew of the three great Beast Emperors. They referred to the Golden Lion Emperor, the Heavenly Wolf Emperor, and the Thunder Roc Emperor who resided in the deepest part of the Myriad Beasts Plain. Their reputations were extremely renowned even within the North Region. Rumor had it that each of them possessed strength comparable to a peak Seventh-grade Sovereign among humans. Combined with their half divine beast bloodlines, even an Eighth-Grade Sovereign would not have much confidence facing them.
As for half divine beasts, it meant that they had already passed the thunder tribulation of shedding spirit and transforming into divinity. However, because the divine beast power within their bloodlines was too thin, they had not completely transformed into true divine beast bodies.
As long as such existences could later obtain sufficient divine beast power to replenish themselves, evolving into true divine beasts again was not impossible.
It was precisely because of this that the divine beast essence blood in Liu Bai's possession was far more tempting to them than any divine artifact.
Although Liu Bai had already killed the Golden Crystal Beast King and all its subordinates, the aura left behind by the drop of Ancient Flame Dragon essence blood used in the formation could not escape the perception of those powerful Spiritual beasts.
Thus, the reason the three great Beast Emperors were causing such a huge commotion was not to seek revenge for the Golden Crystal Beast King, but to seize the divine beast essence blood in Liu Bai's hands.
Of course, the human side was completely unaware of this. They only knew that if the true culprit could not be found, then the entire Myriad Beasts Plain and even the surrounding regions would suffer together.
As a result, cultivators searching for the culprit were everywhere within a radius of ten thousand miles.
Fortunately, these people knew nothing about Liu Bai. Thus, even if he appeared openly before them, no one would imagine that the person who had wiped out the entire Golden Crystal Beast King faction was actually such a young youth.
Just like that, while Liu Bai quietly watched the situation unfold and plotted how to hunt down more powerful spiritual beasts, a sudden piece of news forced him to stop.
Because the outside world had already grasped the true identity of the person who killed the Golden Crystal Beast King, and had even spread the imprinted spiritual energy image to every corner.
Inside the inn room, Hong San cautiously looked at Liu Bai, who sat there expressionlessly. He then glanced at the table, where a lifelike figure composed of streaks of spiritual light was emitting radiance. He nervously glanced around, looking as though he feared being discovered.
"You are saying that quite a few people in the city have already obtained this image and have begun tracking us based on it?"
"Yes, yes, my lord." Hong San nodded repeatedly.
Who could have imagined that their lord would be so bold, wiping out the Golden Crystal Beast King alone and then daring to come back here.
Judging by the timing, this lord had likely killed the Golden Crystal Beast King, swept everything clean, and then gone into closed door cultivation in that nameless mountain range thousands of miles away.
At this moment, Zhan Taiyun also had a grave expression as he spoke. "My lord, I think it would be best for us to leave. Although you have not shown yourself in the city during this time, when we first checked into the inn, we did not deliberately conceal our appearances. It will probably not take long before someone finds us."
Liu Bai chuckled softly upon hearing this. He looked at the two of them and said calmly, "I am afraid it is already too late. They are already here."
Before the words had even finished falling, Zhan Taiyun and Hong San suddenly felt an extremely terrifying aura erupt above their heads. Violent golden light tore apart the roof and swept toward the three of them.
Facing that horrifying aura, both of them felt the arrival of death in that instant.
The one who made the move was definitely no weaker than a Fourth-Grade Sovereign. Against such a sudden attack, the two of them had almost no chance to resist and could only close their eyes and wait for death.
Just as they believed that they would surely perish here today, a spiritual disk radiating five colored brilliance suddenly rose into the air. Streams of five colored light descended and directly enveloped all three of them.
