The road is vague

Chapter 303 Unstoppable (Part Two)
Li Mo looked at the two identity tokens.

"Rank B: Zhao Liwen; Rank C: Zhao Liwu."

Li Mo thoughtfully put the two people's identity tokens into the storage bag and continued flying forward.

As a bounty hunter in the Great Qian Kingdom, in addition to the military merits that can be obtained by hunting down disciples of the Lu Kingdom based on their cultivation level and reputation, there are also additional rewards for traitorous disciples of the Earth Element Sect.

Since Li Mo was new to the area and knew nothing about the disciples of Lu, he could not determine whether the two had special bounties on their hands. However, their cultivation at the mid-Foundation Establishment stage was genuine. Yet, in less than a quarter of an hour, the two were killed by Li Mo.

During this process, Li Mo hardly used any magical artifacts or techniques. He relied solely on the elusive nature of his lightning transformation after cultivating both body and life to make the two lose their will to fight.

Another half incense stick's time passed.

Li Mo arrived near a stream.

The number of poisonous insects emerging from the mist nearby had increased significantly. A winged centipede silently drifted toward Li Mo, and with a flash of the Wind-Controlling Cloak, the foot-long poisonous insect was blown away without a sound.

Li Mo didn't pay any attention to this.

He stopped and looked to his left.

About forty or fifty feet away in the depths of the mist, seven people were gathered together.

These seven people were mostly disciples of the State of Lu. They were gathered together, and it was unclear what they were discussing. However, according to intelligence, they were probably setting up an ambush here, setting up flag formations or traps, waiting for the disciples of the State of Qian to walk into their trap.

So Li Mo extended his right index and middle fingers and gently pressed them on his left eye.

With a flash of lightning in its left eye, it vanished into the thunder, and the next moment, the eyeball reappeared more than twenty feet in the air, looking around.

The cultivation levels of the seven people who had set up the ambush here gradually came into Li Mo's view.

"They are all at least at the tenth level of Qi Refining."

Then the eyeball flashed with silver light, like a sky full of stars, and looked around, and sure enough, it saw the flag array hidden there.

The runes in this flag formation were exceptionally clear in the eyes of the Dao, like countless fireflies twinkling.

This flag formation has a total of twenty-one array bases. If a Foundation Establishment cultivator were to fall into it unexpectedly and be surrounded and attacked by seven people, it would be extremely dangerous.

After gathering the intelligence, his eyeballs turned into lightning and disappeared.

As the eyeball transformed back into lightning and dissipated, one of the seven people lying in ambush there frowned slightly.

Did you hear that?

"what?"

"do not scare me!"

After taking out the mirror artifact and looking around, the man breathed a sigh of relief.

"We've only been here a short time setting up our flag formation. How could the people from the Qian Kingdom have arrived so quickly? Stop being paranoid and conserve your energy. If a big fish takes the bait, we'll probably have to put in some effort."

"Hehe, if I can trap and kill one more person, I can exchange for another Foundation Establishment Pill."

the other side.

Li Mo's empty left eye flashed with electricity, and countless bolts of lightning gathered there.

After reverting to his eyeball form, Li Mo slightly rotated it to adjust. He smiled gently, used earth-遁术 (earth-遁术 is a type of magic that allows one to escape from a distance), and disappeared silently from the spot, appearing in the ground beneath the feet of the seven people in the blink of an eye.

With only seven people at the Qi Refining stage, it wasn't worth him making a big fuss.

As long as he doesn't actively fall into their trap, these seven people will hardly pose a threat to him. So he stretched out his right hand and pointed lightly, a flash of dark golden light disappearing in an instant.

puff!
The middle-aged cultivator, who was lying on the ground staring intently at the trap, suddenly widened his eyes as a dark golden stream of light shot from the ground pierced through his chest.

Those around them were completely unaware of this.

It wasn't until the dark golden light flashed past rapidly in the air that another female cultivator's body stiffened, her round head sliding down with wide eyes. Only then did the other five people turn pale with fright and summon their magical artifacts.

"Liu Yaomei!"

After a brief, urgent shout, the area quickly returned to calm.

Li Mo's figure emerged from the ground.

After looking around, he released his spiritual light and collected the storage bags and identity tokens of the seven people.

These seven people were only at the Qi Refining stage, so he naturally didn't care much about these storage bags and identity tokens. He turned his head and looked at the flag formation in the distance that was not being led.

This set of flags could easily sell for around two thousand spirit stones.

So Li Mo spent a little effort to put away the flag formation.

After doing all this, he determined the direction and continued walking forward.

Unknowingly.

One night passed.

As the sun rose, the mist over the narrow passage gradually dissipated.

The insects that foraged for food at night went back into hibernation, and the bounty hunters who went out hunting returned to their controlled areas as quickly as possible.

Li Mo rushed back to the area of ​​Yixiantian controlled by the Qian Kingdom.

He saw squads of Qian Kingdom patrolling disciples rushing to various places, constantly casting fireball spells to burn the corpses along the way to ashes.

These corpses were varied in nature; some had clearly died after a fierce battle, while others had died silently in dark corners.

However, since they had no tokens to prove their identity, the consequence of failing as bounty hunters was that they were burned to ashes by a fireball, leaving no trace in the world.

After witnessing this scene, Li Mo felt a mix of emotions.

However, he could finally relax and take stock of yesterday's gains.

After a night of hunting, he collected more than a dozen identity tokens, which were all basic merits.

The vast majority of these identity tokens came from low-level Qi Refining stage cultivators. There were only five Foundation Establishment stage cultivator tokens, but apart from the two initially collected, the other three were of the Ding rank.

He then briefly looked through the storage bag and put some useful materials and magical artifacts that would be easy to sell later into his storage ring. Other materials that were inconvenient to carry, whose uses were unknown, or of low value, he planned to exchange for merit points when he returned to the camp.

As this was Li Mo's first hunt, his main focus was on gaining experience, and he didn't care much about the rewards.

After he finished tidying up and returned to the main camp, the other bounty hunters who had been lying in wait at Yixiantian for the night also returned to the main camp and gathered in front of the gate.

The vast majority of them appeared listless and exhausted, seemingly having gained nothing, and headed straight for the barracks to rest. A small number, however, were in high spirits, or had narrowly escaped death from serious injuries.

In front of the camp gate, there were quartermasters responsible for registering military merits. The cultivators who had made gains gathered here and lined up in an orderly manner. Li Mo was also at the back of the line.

He turned and looked back.

The narrow passage, fraught with danger last night, has now completely cleared of its fog, revealing an exceptionally beautiful scene. It has indeed become the paradise of birdsong and fragrant flowers that others have described, and there is no trace of the perilous night before.

"Senior Brother Li?"

Someone recognized Li Mo and ran over in surprise.

Li Mo looked at the man and was surprised to see that it was Ye Fuhu.

He was a head taller than Li Mo and looked slightly tired. After coming to Li Mo's side, he couldn't help but ask a question.

"What are you doing here as a bounty hunter?"

"Oh, I just arrived yesterday. I heard the rewards here are generous. I'm not entirely confident about advancing to the Golden Core stage, so I thought I'd come here to earn merit points and try my luck."

Say it.

Li Mo looked Ye Fuhu up and down and asked, "How was the harvest last night?"

Ye Fuhu shook his head.

"I was unlucky. Yesterday I was hunting with a friend from the Puppet Sect, but we were ambushed and had to split up. I haven't seen her since. Maybe she's already... sigh."

Upon hearing this, Li Mo offered a few words of comfort to the other party.

At this time.

One person ignored the long queue and went straight to the quartermaster in charge of registration, throwing several identity tokens and storage bags at him.

Upon seeing this, the quartermaster was not angry at all; instead, he greeted him with a smile, showing great respect.

Li Mo frowned slightly upon seeing this.

After a night of traveling and hunting, most people were exhausted and wanted to register as soon as possible to return to camp and rest. This person's behavior really annoyed him, but when he saw that others were used to it or treated him with great respect, he couldn't help but ask Ye Fuhu a question.

"Who is this person, and why is he so arrogant?"

"Senior brother, you don't know?"

Seeing that Li Mo was indeed unaware of something, Ye Fuhu immediately began to explain.

"This is Xu Jingge, a true disciple of the Thousand Transformations Sect. She is one of the few active Class A bounty hunters in the camp. She once caused a sensation among bounty hunters by hunting down a true disciple of the Lu Guo Guo Xing Sect in one fell swoop. Three months ago, she even exchanged for the Fountain of Immortality through the military, saying that she was going to give it to her younger brother who was a mortal. It's truly astonishing..."

Li Mo was initially surprised that the other party's twin brother did not have any spiritual roots.

Then he couldn't help but think of the characteristics of the Thousand Transformations Sect's techniques, which multiply the power of various killing weapons, making them invincible in direct confrontations.

"Xu Jingge".

After noting down the man's name, Li Mo didn't say anything more.

Although the Qian Kingdom's military camp has produced more than a dozen Class A bounty hunters over the years, the vast majority of them left the military after obtaining what they wanted, with very few willing to continue serving.

After all, everyone knows that if you walk by the river often enough, you're bound to get your shoes wet.

Knowing when to retire gracefully is a wise choice.

Therefore, there are only a few Class A bounty hunters in the camp, and all of them are the most elite disciples of the Great Qian Kingdom.

Soon it was Li Mo's turn.

He placed last night's haul on the table, and the quartermaster and Ye Fuhu, who were in charge of registering it, immediately exclaimed in surprise.

"Senior Brother Li, are these all your spoils from last night?"

Seeing the look of surprise and uncertainty on Ye Fuhu's face, Li Mo didn't take it to heart.

"Most of them were Qi Refining stage disciples, and they were easily taken away after being discovered."

That being said, when Ye Fuhu saw the identity tokens of the Zhao brothers, Zhao Liwen and Zhao Liwu, from the Natural Sect, his eyelids twitched violently.

"My fellow disciples from the Natural Sect, both civil and military, Senior Brother... you actually killed them?"

"What, are they famous?"

Li Mo looked puzzled.

After all, in his opinion, these two were not particularly strong. Could it be that they were unable to unleash their true strength in the face of his sharp methods?

After a long period of astonishment, Ye Fuhu finally let out a sigh.

"It seems you don't know, senior brother. Three years ago, Senior Sister Chen Rong from the Alchemy Hall was killed by these two. Because Senior Sister Chen Rong was very popular in the sect, many senior brothers put up bounties on these two."

Li Mo was stunned for a moment, then his expression darkened slightly.

He then glanced at the military plates of Zhao Liwen and Zhao Liwu, which were being registered.

"What a cruel twist of fate."

The quartermaster first registered the identity tokens, then registered the supplies in more than a dozen storage bags. He not only promoted Li Mo to a Rank C bounty hunter on the spot and recorded his corresponding military merits, but also extended a special invitation to Li Mo.

"Since you are a true disciple of the Spirit Eye Sect and possess such strength, would you be interested in joining the Dark Night Daggers?"

"The Dark Night Dagger?"

Li Mo had never heard of this organization before, and couldn't help but cast a questioning look at Ye Fuhu.

Upon hearing this, Ye Fuhu showed a hint of excitement.

"This is a secret organization established by the Contract Department. It is said that one cannot actively apply to join; one can only become a bounty hunter and passively wait for an invitation from the Contract Department. After joining the Dark Night Dagger, one can enjoy a separate intelligence exchange center, obtain information on elite disciples and bounty-bearing disciples of the Lu Kingdom, and be assigned some special bounty missions..."

Judging from Ye Fuhu's excited expression, it goes without saying that he has not yet received an invitation from the Dark Night Daggers.

"it is good."

Upon hearing this, Li Mo immediately agreed.
