Chapter 687: The Emergence of Murderous Intent
Translator: StackThatCoin Editor: Hitesh_
The immortals in Gourd Immortal Market had gathered together in a great hall .
It was an ordinary-looking building constructed with wood boards at the bottom of Gourd Immortal Market . All boards were cut from ordinary pine wood, and although the material was simple, the construction took a lot of effort and resources . Together, the lines of the boards made up a large image of dragons soaring in clouds . Some bored immortal had once estimated that in order to gather so many wood boards and create such a perfect image, the cost was ten times it took to build a hall entirely with immortal stones .
A large number of hassocks were arranged at random in the spacious hall . Lu Buwei, Patriarch Yuan Hua, and all the other immortals sat on these hassocks in groups of different sizes, according to their relationship . At the end of the hall was a three-feet-high wooden dais, on top of which sat a lean, pale-faced Daoist in a yellow robe . On his bun stood a gourd the size of a fist . He was none other than the person in charge of Gourd Immortal Market, Immortal Gourd .
Lu Buwei looked at Immortal Gourd curiously . After running his business here for several years, it was the first time he had seen this man in person .
After giving Immortal Gourd a casual glance, Patriarch Yuan Hua told Lu Buwei via voice transmission, "He's a Gold Immortal . Let's leave him alone for now . When I've gathered enough blood essence and souls to regain all of my cultivation base, I can kill him with one finger . "
Lu Buwei's heart gave a violent jerk . Immortal Gourd was a Gold Immortal? So, what tier was he at now? And, who on earth was behind him, so that he could run his business here peacefully even when the war was raging across Pangu Continent now?
Gradually, more immortals arrived . When the immortal in charge of Myriad Immortal Palace arrived with several attendants, Immortal Gourd flicked his sleeve to place twenty iron boxes in front of everyone, each of which measured six feet in length, width, and height . The lids of the boxes lifted silently, revealing the neatly arranged immortal stones within . Glancing at the immortals in the hall, Immortal Gourd said in a flat tone, "If you can kill that Tan Lang, you'll be handsomely rewarded . These are only the deposits the client placed with me . "
He paused for a moment, then went on, "The client has a high reputation at Gourd Immortal Market, so I can't disclose his identity . But, as long as any one of you can kill Tan Lang, I guarantee that you will get all the rewards that are promised . "
With a flip of his palm, a purple strand of energy, about three feet in length and as thick as a thumb, appeared on Immortal Gourd's hand, twisting like a snake . Then, with a flick of his finger, the energy flew like a bolt of lighting through the crowd . The immortals studied the energy with their divine senses, and were shocked to find that it was actually a very pure immortal energy of excellent quality . The immortal energy contained in it was almost equal to the total immortal energy of an upper-grade immortal stone .
"This strand of energy was randomly extracted by the client from the cave abode he has promised as the reward . " Waving his hand, Immortal Gourd recalled the streak of purple energy and put it away, then said with a smile, "The cave abode is situated in a secret place . The client will swear a mental demon oath that whoever can capture Tan Lang alive and deliver him to me, he will properly transfer the ownership of the cave abode and ensure that no third person knows of its exact location . "
Lu Buwei and Patriarch Yuan Hua looked at each other, and the latter smiled and nodded in agreement . It looked like their best bet was to capture that fellow named Tan Lang alive and deliver him to Immortal Gourd . Although he was some King Yang Qiu's personal guard, it was worth the risk for the reward of a cave abode of excellent quality . If their target was a Great Yu's prince, the risks would certainly be high . But, what would be at stake in dealing with a small guard?
Mountains of immortal stones, countless rare treasures, and a cave abode…
There was a saying that 'if you have money, you can make the devil push the millstone for you', and that was exactly the case here . Almost at the same time, all the immortals from different powerhouses in Gourd Immortal Market had decided that they would employ their own strength and means to capture Tan Lang alive . One after another, they received a jade slip from Immortal Gourd, containing Tan Lang's current location — it was actually not his exact location, but where King Yang Qiu's army was stationed . As King Yang Qiu's personal guard, where else could he be?
In addition to the location, the jade slip included a clear portrait of Tan Lang, so clear that every hair on his face was drawn . Beside the portrait was some information about him, such as the divine abilities and magic he was good at, his cultivation of the True Body of Heaven and Earth Scripture having nearly reached the realm of Second Pangu Heaven, and his cultivation of the various magic and curses also reaching a very advanced level . However, it did not mention his exact cultivation level .
But, it was clear that he was a military officer who cultivated both magic and body . After reading this information, some immortals from weaker powerhouses immediately frowned . In general, military officers and Oracles in the Great Yu dynasty were relatively easy to deal with . But, once they encountered a freak who was cultivating both magic and body, they would have to send ten times as many immortals with the same level of cultivation base as him to kill him . And if they were to capture him alive, it would require a lot more effort and cunning strategies .
But, Lu Buwei and Patriarch Yuan Hua had already left the hall with a big smile on their faces, while those immortals from major powerhouses such as the one from Myriad Immortal Palace had also left confidently within beams of light . They must report this matter as soon as possible to the forces behind them, so that they could quickly send powerful immortals to capture Tan Lang . Any delay was likely to result in someone else taking away this substantial reward .
Great Yu's armies were now carrying out a devastating attack on Myriad Immortal Alliance, which had caused many innocent itinerant immortals and cultivators to suffer greatly . If the cave abode was truly situated in a location as secret as Immortal Gourd claimed and could evade the search of Great Yu's armies, it would be too valuable for any powerhouse to skip .
Just as thousands of powerhouses in Gourd Immortal Market were preparing to tackle Wu Qi, he was provoking Yu Qingcheng with a slightly mocking tone at King Yang Qiu's field headquarter . His rhetorical question made Yu Qingcheng's face turn purple at once . Judging by that, Wu Qi knew that this old fellow must have suffered in that formation, and he had no way to crack it .
