Chapter 667: The Super High-Priced Bounty
After satisfying one's appetite.
Mu Qingyu then led Gu Heng to the place where the forging competition was about to be held. In the central square of Muyue City, the arena had already been set up, and there were many onlookers.
Gu Heng chose a spot that was on the edge of the field, but still offered a good view.
"That's... uh, the most famous young blacksmith in your Twilight Immortal Demon Kingdom?"
Gu Heng carefully recalled what Mu Qingyu had told him. On the arena, there was only one figure at the moment. It was a young demon, or rather a young fox, who was standing in front of his forging platform with a burning gaze, as intense as metal!
Although they look thin, they are already cultivators, so their physical appearance is not very meaningful.
Even if he were as thin as a bamboo pole, he would probably still possess immense strength.
He seemed well-prepared and very confident for this competition!
"Yes, that's him. Actually, he's my cousin, named Mu Qing."
"Then why didn't you just tell me directly before?"
"Whether I say it or not doesn't seem to make any difference..."
Mu Qingyu secretly glanced at Gu Heng's expression.
She had indeed intentionally concealed it at the time. After all, it was their first meeting, and she didn't know Gu Heng very well. Mu Qingyu didn't want to reveal her true identity to avoid any complications.
It seems that Gu Heng doesn't mind now.
"It seems so."
"Never mind, what about the other person? The opponent is already here waiting, he can't possibly be putting on airs, can he?" Gu Heng was getting impatient.
The disciple that Immortal Venerable Fang Chen took in the Xuan Tian Realm has not yet appeared.
However, it seemed that everyone was willing to wait a little longer, so he stopped complaining.
Half an hour passed.
The first to arrive were the elders of the other Nine-Tailed Celestial Fox Clan, and even the Nine-Tailed Celestial Venerable herself appeared. As soon as she appeared, exclamations of surprise spread throughout the central square. Only then did Gu Heng realize that a great figure had arrived!
And this important figure...
It wasn't actually that different from what he imagined.
Over the past two days, he and Mu Qingyu have gradually become more familiar with each other, and their conversations have expanded from trivial personal experiences. He asked Mu Qingyu what kind of tribe the Nine-Tailed Celestial Fox Clan was, and what kind of being the Nine-Tailed Immortal Venerable was, and so on...
Of course. Mu Qingyu's answers were all somewhat ambiguous, mixing good and bad comments.
The same applies to the description of the Nine-Tailed Immortal Venerable Mu Miaoying. However, nothing is more convincing than seeing it for yourself.
Now, he sees it.
A mature fox beauty with long legs, a slender waist, and a shapely figure, with nine tails swaying back and forth behind her.
Wearing a simple dress, yet unable to conceal her fiery and alluring curves, each step she took exuded a captivating charm that could make anyone submit.
Gu Heng quickly gave his assessment.
This is the most beautiful woman he has ever seen!
Although Gu Heng was very confident in his little girl, he had to admit that a mature charm wasn't something that could be acquired at will. If he wanted time to give her that kind of allure, he would have to wait patiently.
Even in a few more years, Qin Yiyao will not lose to her.
"Have you looked enough?!"
Mu Qingyu, unable to stand it, poked Gu Heng next to her with her paw, her little eyes almost bulging out.
"Cough, the Nine-Tailed Immortal is quite beautiful."
Gu Heng gave an awkward laugh.
He definitely glanced at it a few more times; that's just how the love of beauty is—it's beyond our control.
Mu Qingyu snorted, clearly not pleased with his praise.
Even she found it hard to explain why she was unhappy that Gu Heng's gaze lingered on Mu Miaoying, but she just had that feeling in her heart, and she was too ashamed to say it out loud.
"How could this competition attract such an important figure as her?"
Gu Heng was a little surprised. "Hmm, she's probably just bored and wanted to kill some time. Besides, she probably also wants to see what's so special about the disciple that Immortal Venerable Fang Chen personally took in."
Mu Qingyu understood "Sister Ying's" thoughts very well. For example, this nine-tailed fox who was not willing to admit that she was old had always liked to get involved in exciting things.
And it's quite lively here.
"Your tone sounds very disrespectful to your elders," Gu Heng said in a low voice.
"She doesn't care."
Mu Qingyu waved her hand.
"...Is that the master that Qingyu mentioned, Gu Heng?"
Mu Miaoying's gaze drifted to a corner of the square. Beside Mu Qingyu stood a seemingly ordinary young man. Apart from his face suggesting a slight tendency to be a kept man, there was nothing particularly special about him. This was her first impression of Gu Heng.
Apart from his face, he seemed quite ordinary, as ordinary as an ordinary person. If there were anything unusual about him, she should have been able to tell.
but.
Can she really tell?
If what Mu Qingyu said is true, and based on the facts, it is indeed true, then this Gu Heng is someone who can refine elixirs of the Immortal Emperor rank!
Then.
She was only a half-step Immortal Venerable, so naturally she couldn't see through this powerful being.
Interesting.
The fact that such a person exists in the Lesser Mystic Heaven Realm, and that they were completely unaware of it...
Did he come from another world, or has he always stayed in the Lesser Mystic Heaven Realm, simply having no interest in the so-called "Thirteen Immortal Venerables" reigning supreme, not wanting to be in the limelight, and not wanting too many people to know about his existence?
I don't understand.
"Clan leader, there's some new information from Immortal Venerable Gu Yun."
At this moment, an elder came to Mu Miaoying's side and whispered something.
"What kind of work is Old Dragon up to now?"
Mu Miaoying was not in a good mood.
In the past, she would have been willing to give the Dragon Palace Lord some face, but everything that has happened since the Little Mystic Realm was forced to be born seems to be proving that Gu Yun's judgment was not only wrong, but seriously wrong!
Although the Ancient Immortal Venerable still seems to have some prestige, he is far less powerful than before.
Moreover, everyone's patience is limited. Since he had become the leader, he had to take responsibility and bear the blame if things went wrong. "He personally issued bounty orders for five cultivators from the Xuan Tian Realm."
The elder said.
At the same time, he took out a scroll and handed it to Mu Miaoying.
Mu Miaoying raised an eyebrow: "Huh?"
"He's actually that idle? Cultivators from the Xuan Tian Realm? Aren't they all unlucky worms who can't even reach the Immortal Rank? What makes him worthy of personally issuing bounties?"
She took the scroll, and the elder added, "I don't know about that. Anyway, it's said that the Ancient Fallen Immortal Venerable was extremely anxious. It's just that our Twilight Immortal Demon Kingdom is too far from the Dragon Palace, so the news only reached us a few days later."
"Do you think we should post the bounty notice?"
This matter is neither a major nor a minor one, because it involves the decree of another immortal venerable, and cannot be neglected.
Of course. These bounty notices will most likely be posted. If Ancient Immortal Venerable Gu Yun cares a lot about this matter, then the Twilight Immortal Demon Kingdom has no reason to refuse, since it has nothing to do with them. They can just pass the message down.
If it were the same Immortal Venerable Yunshang, she probably would have truly ignored Gu Yun's meaning.
"What price did Gu Yun offer those five people?"
Mu Miaoying asked casually.
"A Celestial Venerable-level pill, a secret martial art from the Dragon Palace, a position of honor in the Dragon Palace, and a Celestial Lord-level magic weapon."
"What? He really quoted that price?"
Mu Miaoying was stunned.
These are all rare treasures! Not to mention the Immortal Venerable-level pills and the Immortal Lord-level magic treasures, anyone with eyes can see that these two things are extremely valuable and will definitely cause a bloodbath!
The enshrined position in the Dragon Palace and the secret martial arts techniques are extremely valuable rewards for ordinary cultivators. It's equivalent to clinging to the coattails of an ancient, fallen immortal!
"What's so special about those five Xuan Tian Realm cultivators he wanted that would make him go to such lengths..."
Mu Miaoying had initially shown little interest, but now she was filled with curiosity and immediately unfurled the scroll in her hand, eager to see the true faces of the five wanted individuals.
This look.
Her nine tails immediately stood upright like sticks.
The first four were all human women, but the last one was a man...
Isn't that Gu Heng?!
