Sect: Starting with Comprehending Thunder Skill Chapter 1316 - 565: Thirty Billion Bounty

The tall and thin old man was surrounded by swirling black mist, and he laughed sinisterly, "The ’Shenxiao Dao Sect’ is used to being domineering; having once had an advantage, have they completely forgotten?"

He raised his hand to grab at the air, and the chains on the ’Demon Flood Dragon’ suddenly expanded. Even within the ’Celestial Net’, the old man managed to pull the flood dragon close, saying, "This beast was merely assisting the actions of the ’Impermanence Envoy’ and the ’Demon Control Sect’! I didn’t expect, however, that you possess such skill to withstand even this ambush!"

Li Yunjing’s pupils constricted, and scenes from the cryptic Chapters of the ’Shenxiao Jade Scroll’ flashed through his mind.

"So, the news about the mineral veins on Turtle and Snake Island was also spread by you?"

Li Yunjing seemed to have thought of something, and asked in a deep voice.

"Smart enough."

The old man smiled sinisterly, and behind him, ghost soldiers simultaneously raised bone blades, reflecting chilling arcs of light at the seabed. "’Shenxiao Dao Sect’ seeks to form an alliance to oppose ’Celestial Net Dao Sect’, which is intolerable!"

"Without ’Celestial Net Dao Sect’ charging ahead, my ’Ghost Shadow Hall’s’ arrangements in the East Sea would become meaningless."

"Not to mention..."

He paused, his gaze fixed tightly on Li Yunjing, "Your reputation has spread, and we of the Demon Sect have long been aware of you! You are a serious threat, and the major figures of the Demon Sect have already decided to place a bounty for your death! We surely won’t let this opportunity slip by!"

The Netherworld Shadow Soldiers suddenly let out a unified shout, and the sound waves condensed into a tangible black vortex, which stirred the seawater into viscous ink.

The defensive barrier surrounding Li Yunjing rippled, and the brilliance of the six great treasure artifacts was dimmed as they were swallowed.

The ’Demon Flood Dragon’ took the opportunity to struggle violently, and twisted flesh buds sprouted at its severed tail.

"Hum! Now I’m quite curious, just how much am I worth in your Demon Dao?"

Li Yunjing coldly surveyed everything before him, raising his hand to unleash a ’Five Elements Divine Thunder’ blast near the ’Celestial Net’. The shockwaves shattered the Netherworld runes on the bodies of the ghost soldiers.

"Li Yunjing, you’re clearly priced at thirty billion Spirit Stones on the Demon Sect bounty list!"

The old man let out a piercing laugh, the black mist converging around him into a giant maw lined with fangs, "If you can be captured alive, they’ll additionally reward a Tier Four Treasure Artifact!"

Before the words were out, the black vortex formed by the Netherworld Shadow Soldiers suddenly accelerated, countless bone blades swept along with toxic mist, like torrential rain shooting towards Li Yunjing’s defensive barrier.

Li Yunjing’s lips curled into a cold smile, and his Three Heads and Six Arms moved simultaneously, intertwining the sound waves emitted by the Ancient Bronze Bell with the Five Elements Divine Thunder to pulverize the incoming bone blades into dust.

"Thirty billion Spirit Stones? That’s giving me too much credit."

Li Yunjing finally revealed a satisfied look.

This price wasn’t low.

And he was only at the Golden Core Realm Second Heaven Cultivation.

With such cultivation, it was impossible for a high bounty to appear.

Thus, it was clear that Li Yunjing was already a heavyweight in the eyes of the Demon Sect, a thorn in the flesh, a dangerous individual for whom they would spare no effort in killing.

Having discerned some secrets, Li Yunjing suddenly swung the ’Purple Gold Gourd’ around, aiming its mouth at the ’Demon Flood Dragon’.

"But compared to my head, the secrets this beast knows might be even more valuable."

As he spoke, a surge of suction was released from within the ’Purple Gold Gourd’, sweeping towards the ’Demon Flood Dragon’.

"Lord Judge! Save me!"

The ’Demon Flood Dragon’ sensed a mortal threat and furiously twisted its body, its four claws gripping the golden threads of the ’Celestial Net’, attempting to break free.

But unexpectedly, the ’Celestial Net’ tightened further, being pulled back under Li Yunjing’s control.

The ’Demon Flood Dragon’ was being dragged away from the emaciated old man.

"I am still useful! The Ghost Shadow Hall has five secret bases in the East Sea, hiding the ’Soul-Capturing Pearl’ to control the Sea Race!"

It roared, its scarlet vertical pupils full of begging, "Lord Judge is still plotting..."

"Shut up!"

The old man, the Judge, shouted angrily, a chain shot out from the black mist aiming straight for the ’Demon Flood Dragon’s’ throat.

This Lord Judge was simply enraged!

What kind of thing was this ’Demon Flood Dragon’?

So cowardly and afraid!

In the Judge’s eyes, Li Yunjing and the others were all doomed.

But for the ’Demon Flood Dragon’ to openly betray him was unforgivable!

Did the Judge have any intention of saving it?

He only thought of killing this beast to eliminate future troubles.

"Hehe! This beast is my prisoner, you want to kill it, you must have my permission!"

Li Yunjing reacted swiftly, the ’Yin Yang Five Elements Celestial Derivation Sword’ slashed horizontally, and as the chaotic Sword Qi severed the chain, he fiercely jerked the ’Celestial Net’, yanking the ’Demon Flood Dragon’ back hard.

"Ah..."

The ’Demon Flood Dragon’ let out a miserable scream as it was sucked into the ’Purple Gold Gourd’.

The Judge’s face changed drastically, and he emitted a sharp whistling sound, while deeper grooves erupted with more intense Yin Qi, "Li Yunjing, today you must die!"

Accompanying the sharp whistle, a giant hand from the Netherworld reached out from the rift, and the black liquid dripping from its fingertips corroded the surrounding seawater, causing the space to ripple everywhere it passed.

At the same time, the Netherworld Shadow Soldiers formed the battle array, encircling Liu Yu and the ten others completely, the bone blades emitting lethal poison gas.

"Humph!"

Li Yunjing’s expression was tense, knowing full well that the enemy he faced this time was far stronger than he imagined.

That Judge’s cultivation had actually reached the Half-Step Nascent Soul Realm!

The likes of him were the future big figures!

Facing this formidable enemy, Li Yunjing’s eyes held no hint of fear; instead, they burned with intense fighting spirit.

"Just right! Today, I will see what the two Demon Sects can do to me!"
