Xu Yan found this to be reasonable; his junior sister was a medic martial artist, adept at refining medicine. The power of the Bloody Hellfire contained within the skull staff might be usable by her.

Besides, even if it couldn’t be used, it could serve as protection for his junior

sister.

After all, the skull staff contained the power of a secret technique from a Great

Grandmaster.

“Then let’s give it to junior sister!”

Xu Yan nodded and said.

Meng Shushu, however, spoke, “Senior Brother Xu, actually the three big nations, as well as some other great forces have put a bounty on the Living Corpse. Whoever manages to kill him can go claim the reward.

Xu Yan was instantly invigorated, asking anxiously, “How much is the reward?”

“Added up, it should also be two to three million Spirit Crystals. The Living Corpse didn’t kill few people in the past, all the major forces have martial artists who have been brutally killed by him, the reward has always been there.

“Just that no one was able to claim this reward. As Senior Brother Xu has killed him now, taking his token should entitle you to the reward, right?”

Meng Shushu thought for a moment and then said.

“The token of the Living Corpse?”

Xu Yan looked at the skull staff, this was naturally the best token, but if he planned to take it back to his junior sister, it wasn’t suitable as a token

anymore.

His gaze swept across the ground, seeing the scattered pieces of a shattered

robe.

With a wave of his hand, he picked up one of the fragments, which had an incomplete pattern embroidered on it.

“Can this be used as a token?”

Meng Shushu was about to say something but stopped short. How could this serve as a token? No one would believe it!

“I got it!”

Xu Yan slapped Meng Shushu on the shoulder, saying, “I have a task for you. Spread the news that I killed the Living Corpse. Say that I, Swordsman Xu Yan, eradicated this demon for the forces offering the reward, even at the risk of offending Demon Lord Huo Tu.

“Do you understand? I killed the Living Corpse for them, since they’ve issued a reward, they can’t just renege on their word, right?

“I, Xu Yan, went through great pains for their reward, daring to offend the Demon Lord Huo Tu, they can’t possibly go back on their word, can they?”

“Don’t worry, Senior Brother Xu, 1 will take care of this, and make sure the entire Inner Domain knows that it was for those forces that you dared to offend Demon Lord Huo Tu and kill this demon.

Meng Shushu quickly agreed.

“Tell them, I’ll pay them a visit in a few days.”

An excited expression appeared on Xu Yan’s face, it seems his efforts weren’t wasted after all.

The three continued on their way, arriving in Lanping Prefecture City, where Meng Shushu disguised himself and left, having agreed on a way to communicate, they went their separate ways.

Xu Yan and Meng Chong then went to Iron Mountain County, in order to avoid being tracked, both of them concealed their aura and avoided populated areas. They did not encounter any attacks all the way, and eventually made it back to

Iron Mountain County.

“junior brother, you go back first and inform our master and junior sister that I’ll be back within a month. 1 need to collect the bounty, the spiritual medicine

I deposited, and the spiritual medicine junior sister has listed.

Upon parting, Xu Yan instructed Meng Chong.

“Senior brother, don’t worry, once junior sister refines the medicine, I’ll deliver it to Uncle and Auntie.”

Meng Chong nodded.

“Thank you, junior brother, you can go now. I’ll stay here to see if anyone manages to track us here.”

Xu Yan nodded.

“Okay!”

Meng Chong carried a large bag of spiritual medicine on his back, the Heavenly Dew Marrow and the rest of the rank six spiritual medicine were wrapped in small packages and hung in front of his chest. A Sword hung at his waist, and in his other hand, he held the skull staff.

With a flash, he plunged into the endless mountains, heading back to the borderlands.

Xu Yan sat down on a large tree, quietly waiting, just in case someone chased them here.

Three days later, no one had tracked him, Xu Yan glanced back towards the borderland direction before turning around to leave without looking back. His next destination was to claim the bounty for killing the Living Corpse.

The martial arts world in the Inner Domain was buzzing.

The infamous, murderous Great Grandmaster from the Demon Sect, the Living Corpse had been killed!

The killer was Swordsman Xu Yan, that monstrous, unique genius who had stunned the Seven-star Study Palace!

Rumor has it that he saw the rewards posted by the three big nations and various forces, was angered by the brutality of the Living Corpse, was not afraid of offending Demon Lord Huo Tu, tracked down the Living Corpse and killed him.

According to an unidentified individual who was fortunate enough to witness the intense battle, Swordsman Xu Yan was filled with hatred towards the Living Corpse’s brutality, in his anger, he executed his unparalleled swordsmanship, with a single stroke, he turned the Living Corpse into ashes. Only a piece of the robe worn by the Living Corpse was left, embroidered with a broken pattern of Demon Lord Huo Tu’s insignia, purposely left behind by Xu

Yan as a token.

Countless prodigies and many Grandmasters were all shocked.

Does Swordsman Xu Yan not fear Demon Lord Huo Tu?

Can it be, he’s the prodigy of Sword God Cliff, hence he isn’t afraid of the Demon Sect?

With regards to Xu Yan’s feat of killing the Living Corpse, rumors ran rife, while the person involved, Xu Yan, had started on his journey to claim the reward, and arrived at the first Sect to collect his reward.

In the Seven-star Study Palace, inside a small courtyard.

Du Yuying was in the middle of practicing. Her aura had become somewhat unusual, her body exuded a shiny white light, making her look saintly and radiant.

And her strength had also risen to a First Grade Strength.

Given her age and this level of strength, she could be considered an exceptional prodigy.

At one moment, Du Yuying lightly coughed, her face turned a few shades paler, her eyebrows slightly furrowed, she slowly ended her cultivation exercise and opened her eyes.

She appeared deep in thought, “My body still has some issues, breaking through to become a Grandmaster, still seems far off!”

She sighed inwardly, and the picture of that handsome young man involuntarily surfaced in her mind, stirring her heart again..
