Chapter 721: Chapter 18 Supreme Weapons? (Please subscribe)_3
“The one who escaped has also died,” the chubby man solemnly reported.
Upon hearing this, a chill rose in the hearts of the others around him.
Even though they had planned to target the 18 Bandits of Yunshan, they had never considered capturing all 18 at once.
That was not realistic.
The 18 Bandits of Yunshan were not fools. Once they realized they were overmatched, they would definitely scatter and flee.
With 18 men scattering, how could one capture them all at once?
…
Moreover, according to the intelligence they had gathered, the 18 Bandits of Yunshan possessed astonishing intuition, able to elude those stronger than them who often hadn’t even arrived before they had fled.
“Really dead?”
Just then, the leading man spoke.
This man’s skin was black and he stood solid like a mountain, his gaze cold and steady.
“According to the traces left behind, all 18 Bandits of Yunshan should be dead,” the chubby man said.
“Can you tell anything about the background of the one who made the move?” the leader continued to inquire.
“I can’t tell.”
“The 18 Bandits of Yunshan died quickly, without even managing to struggle,” the chubby man explained.
If there had been a struggle, the traces of the fight might have given them some clues about the background of the attacker.
But with no struggle, the 18 Bandits of Yunshan were slaughtered by that powerful being, one slap per person. How could they discern the attacker’s background from that?
Just then.
A slim figure sprinted over.
“Xueyu Tavern has withdrawn the bounty on the 18 Bandits of Yunshan,” the slim figure immediately declared.
Xueyu Tavern had withdrawn the bounty several days ago, but the spread of the news was delayed, and the group only received the message just now.
“It seems the 18 Bandits of Yunshan are indeed dead,”
The leading man nodded.
Xueyu Tavern would only withdraw the bounty when absolutely certain that all of the 18 Bandits of Yunshan were dead.
“What a pity.”
“We crossed six or seven Ancient Countries, only to return empty-handed?”
…
Everyone glanced at each other, unsure whether to feel regret or relief
Although it was frustrating that another powerful being had intercepted their target, when they saw the traces of that being’s slaughter of the 18 Bandits of Yunshan, they actually felt relieved to have been preempted.
Otherwise, wouldn’t they have had to face that mysterious powerful foe?
Given how easily this person had slaughtered the 18 Bandits of Yunshan, they had no confidence in resisting.
…
While the others had their complicated thoughts,
The leading black-skinned man was lost in deep thought.
“The one who could kill the 18 Bandits of Yunshan so effortlessly must be at least a Witch Emperor…”
“Yet a Witch Emperor,” the black-skinned man pondered with a hint of doubt, “how have Witch Emperor-level beings become so numerous in the last two decades?”
Having traveled through many Ancient Countries, he faintly realized that in the last twenty years, Witch Emperors, who usually took hundreds or even thousands of years to emerge, have started appearing ‘frequently’?
Especially in the Capitals of the great Ancient Countries, Witch Emperors who had never been heard of before, one after the other, seemed to appear like they were free.
If not for the heritage left by the Witch Ancestor in these Ancient Countries, the current twelve Ancient Countries would likely have seen major upheavals already.
…
Luo River gather site.
Deepest part of the cave dwelling.
Lin Yuan sat cross-legged.
“This operation should have been perfect.”
Lin Yuan began to reflect, from taking on the bounty at Xueyu Tavern to the killing of the 18 Bandits of Yunshan, he had left no traces that could potentially expose his identity.
The bounty on the 18 Bandits of Yunshan was rich, attracting the attention of the majority of bounty hunters from the twelve Ancient Countries. Lin Yuan’s intervention at this time would only be considered the act of a strong being from the twelve Ancient Countries.
That broadened the range.
The only oversight was that Lin Yuan had once sent Zha Ran Gu to investigate the traces of the 18 Bandits of Yunshan.
It was not that Zha Ran Gu would betray him.
Lin Yuan had conquered Zha Ran Gu, leaving a trace of blood essence in his mind.
With a thought, he could detonate it, controlling Zha Ran Gu’s life and death, leaving no room for betrayal.
But the act of Zha Ran Gu investigating the tracks of the 18 Bandits of Yunshan for Lin Yuan was not foolproof.
Lin Yuan thought about it and realized that this couldn’t really be considered a hidden danger,
Zha Ran Gu, as the acknowledged leader of the Luo River gathering site, became aware that the 18 Bandits of Yunshan had scattered to nearby areas.
Taking a slight interest by investigating the bandits’ traces everything made sense.
…..
After much pondering,
Lin Yuan flipped his right hand.
A teacup appeared before him.
The teacup was crafted from expensive jade.
Just this teacup alone was worth a Witch Crystal.
But Lin Yuan’s attention was not on the teacup, but rather on the blood-red tea inside it.
“Blood Rain Tea?”
Lin Yuan observed carefully.
At Xueyu Tavern, Lin Yuan had not dared to drink this tea, worrying it might contain something tricky.
Though the likelihood was low; Xueyu Tavern was renowned, and if they were to engage in underhanded tactics just because Lin Yuan took a bounty on the 18 Bandits of Yunshan,
how could they possibly have grown to such a scale?
“There’s no poison.”
After repeated testing, Lin Yuan cautiously took a sip.
The cold tea flowed down his throat, infusing his limbs and bones.
Throughout this time, Lin Yuan remained extremely alert, ready at any moment to isolate all the tea in his stomach should anything unusual occur.
“It indeed has a slight beneficial effect on the body,”
Lin Yuan nodded slightly.
It must be because Lin Yuan’s physical body was too strong at this moment. If a Witch King-level being drank this cup of Blood Rain Tea, it would probably not be a slight benefit but a significant boost to their physique.
“Blood Rain Tea water?”
Lin Yuan pondered, eventually taking out that bronze compass.
“Still exhibiting a distinct mystical aura despite the dimensional suppression of the Two-Dimensional World…”
Lin Yuan’s mind fluctuated, his suspicions growing.
Even the most powerful Tier 11 life forms could not manifest any extraordinary powers in this Two-Dimensional World.
Yet this bronze compass did.
Which meant,
this bronze compass,
could very possibly be one of the Supreme Weapons.
