Chapter 1729 - The Pen That Kills (1/2)
Translator: Larbre Studio Editor: Larbre Studio
“Why aren’t there Supreme Saints on the Bounty Rankings?” Zhang Ruochen asked.
Ji Fanxin replied, “Without hundreds of millions of Saint Stones, one is not even qualified to order the a.s.sa.s.sination of a Supreme Saint. Even for ancient dynasties, that would be financially difficult. Moreover, even if there is really such a bounty ranking, it would not be something that we could easily see at our level.”
At this moment, a thin lady dressed in black carried a metallic plate and walked to Zhang Ruochen and Ji Fanxin.
On the plate, there was a thick stack of paper and bronze pens.
Life and Death Runes!
Every Rune would indicate an order to kill someone.
Ji Fanxin stretched out her two fingers and picked up a piece of the rune paper, and started writing.
After a short while, she gracefully put the pen down, and threw the rune towards the Life and Death Cliff.
Boom!
The rune paper exploded while near the cliff, and turned into a rain of light.
Following this, a name appeared on the cliff – Liancheng Baili.
Next to the name, there was a description:
Liancheng Baili, a member of the Heavenly a.s.sa.s.sination Organization with a cultivation level of Eight-step Saint King. He is ranked 84 on the Killer Heavenly King ranking, and has completed 14595 out of 14600 missions.
Liancheng Baili has a total of 3 Death Emissaries.
The first is….
…
The description was detailed, and included even the Saint Weapons that Liancheng Baili used, the cultivation techniques he practiced, and the Saint Spells he had mastered.
After seeing these descriptions, Zhang Ruochen’s eyes lit up, and he mumbled to himself, “Seems like that day he was the one who helped Shang Ziyan to attack me. Being able to enter the rankings of Killer Heavenly Kings, he isn’t a simple character.”
Not only that, but the person who tried to a.s.sa.s.sinate Pill Spirit King was actually Liancheng Baili’s third Death Emissary.
Seemed like Ji Fanxin had already checked these thoroughly before ordering this a.s.sa.s.sination.
The bounty she gave was a hundred million Saint Stones.
Before Ji Fanxin ordered, there were already two orders under his name, for bounties of thirty-five million and fifty million respectively. Evidently there were others who wanted him dead.
With that, Liancheng Baili’s life was already worth one hundred and eighty-five million Saint Stones, and his ranking on the Bounty Ranking rose to 67.
Such a price was rather attractive, and many Nine-step Saint King would be tempted to kill him.
“To put a bounty of one hundred million, who is she?”
“To be able to name such a price, she must be from a big faction. It would be better that we stay away.”
…
Below the Life and Death Cliff, many gazes were fixed on Ji Fanxin. Their gazes were all different. Some were that of doubt, some were cautious, and some were deep in thought.
Although Ji Fanxin had cautioned Zhang Ruochen to stay low, what she had done was not staying low either.
Ji Fanxin looked at Zhang Ruochen, and lightly smiled. “It’s your turn! Just write your target on the Life and Death Rune along with the price.
“After throwing the rune out, the information will be recorded and reflected on all other Life and Death Cliffs of the G.o.d of Death Palace in other regions as well.”
Zhang Ruochen picked up a Life and Death Rune on the plate and started writing.
Boom!
As the rune exploded, there was a new name that appeared on the Bounty Ranking.
Tenth on the Bounty Ranking, s.p.a.ce Divine Pavilion Leader, Gong Ziyan. Bounty: Three hundred million.
Below the usually quiet Life and Death Cliff, that new name raised havoc.
“Three hundred million! If I had so many Saint Stones, I could even raise an army to fight for a city, and establish a country!”
“Gong Ziyan has had good connections all along. Not only that, but many factions are in need of his help. Who would put such a high bounty on his name?”
“Gong Ziyan must have really screwed up. Surely he has offended a super big faction.”
Countless eyes swept onto Zhang Ruochen.
Some people even used their spiritual powers to scan him, hoping to see his face that was hidden under disguise.
Some others’ gazes were serious, and if this wasn’t in the territory of the G.o.d of Death Palace, they would have already attacked Zhang Ruochen.
That would be no surprise. Given the number of people here, surely some of them would be Gong Ziyan’s friends, and perhaps even Gong Ziyan himself was here.
Zhang Ruochen did not seem affected, and picked up another Life and Death Rune. He started writing again.
Boom!
The rune paper flew out, and one more name appeared on the Bounty Ranking.
Bounty Ranking, number 10, Soul Field Leader, Lian Xi. Bounty: Three Hundred Million.
