Chapter 2770: Xieying

Chapter 2770: Chapter 2770: Xieying

Fang Bai looked carefully and found that the tasks displayed on the crystal wall included hunting a certain Divine Realm expert, acquiring a beast core from a kind of Starry Sky Behemoth, and searching for some mystical flower or exotic fruit...

In any case, out of those hundreds of tasks, none were easy for a high-rank Void God Realm expert to complete.

"I choose this one!"

Fang Bai’s gaze hesitated on the crystal wall for a moment before finally settling on one of the task bars, pointing at it as he spoke.

"Are you certain?"

The steward of the Starshine Commerce Assembly looked at Fang Bai in surprise, seemingly not expecting him to choose this task.

"This is it!"

Fang Bai laughed, "What I hate the most in my life are those who abuse women. I have no qualms about killing him!"

The task bar showed a portrait of a True God Realm expert named Xieying, with a line of small text below.

The small text explained Xieying’s background and strength, as well as his crimes against over a hundred women from the Divine Realm.

Among the women Xieying had abused was the daughter of a high-ranking member of the Starshine Commerce Assembly, which was why the assembly had posted this task and placed it prominently on the crystal wall.

Completing the task to hunt down Xieying would result in rewards, including a True God Realm cultivation technique.

Xieying’s strength was at the initial stage of the True God Realm, and he had a divine artifact to assist him, along with advanced stealth abilities, making him difficult to kill.

Over the years, many True God Realm experts had taken this task, but all had ended in failure, and Xieying remained at large to this day.

The steward of the Starshine Commerce Assembly clearly did not expect Fang Bai, with only high-rank Void God Realm strength, to take on such a challenging task.

"Xieying is extremely malevolent and murderous. If you go to kill him, you might end up harming yourself! Have you thought it through?"

The steward of the Starshine Commerce Assembly reminded Fang Bai once more.

He knew cultivation wasn’t easy, and seeing Fang Bai, so young yet already accomplished, he had developed a fondness for talent and thus kindly reminded him.

Fang Bai smiled and said, "I shall give it a try!"

The steward of the Starshine Commerce Assembly saw that Fang Bai was determined despite the advice, thinking him youthful and reckless, and sighed silently.

"The task has a ten-year deadline. Within ten years, if you cannot kill Xieying, the task will be automatically canceled. Remember, you are not the only strong one taking on this task, so be quick or be left out!"

The steward of the Starshine Commerce Assembly reminded once more.

Fang Bai nodded, expressing his understanding.

Immediately, he left his image and a wisp of his divine sense inside a Divine Crystal at the Starshine Commerce Assembly to verify his identity later and then departed with the task.

Soon after returning to the inn, Baihua, Linglong, and other gods of the Emperor’s Palace also returned in succession.

Baihua and the other gods of the Emperor’s Palace wandered around Yulong City, exchanging their Divine Crystals for some cultivation resources they liked, and then showed them off to Fang Bai.

Fang Bai’s thoughts were entirely on hunting Xieying and exchanging for the True God Realm cultivation technique, so he glanced at the treasures Baihua and the others had exchanged and shook his head with a smile: "Your luck wasn’t great. The things you exchanged aren’t very special and won’t be very helpful to your cultivation!"

Baihua and others roamed around Yulong City, exchanging their Divine Crystals at the Cultivation Resource Exchange Market, hoping to grab some valuable items that would greatly aid their cultivation, but hearing Fang Bai’s words, they felt a bit disappointed.

Fang Bai laughed heartily: "To get rare treasures, it is not easy at this Cultivation Resource Exchange Market; we must go to the depths of the starry sky where even Divine Realm experts seldom visit! All right, let’s stay here in Yulong City for now and set off in a few days!"

"Palace Master, where are we going this time?"

The Lightning Mink asked excitedly.

He loved to move around, and although Yulong City was nice, staying in one place became boring.

Fang Bai said, "I took a task from the largest commerce assembly here, the Starshine Commerce Assembly. After completing it, I can get a True God Realm cultivation technique! With a True God Realm cultivation technique, I may reach the True God Realm! In this Divine Realm, only those in the True God Realm aren’t considered bottom of the barrel!"

The Lightning Mink rubbed its hands together eagerly: "Is the task difficult? Can we complete it if we work together?"

Fang Bai said, "It’s just killing an initial stage True God Realm expert. I think it can be done! Even if I can’t do it alone, with all of you, it’s definitely possible!"

Thus, led by Fang Bai, the gods of the Emperor’s Palace stayed in Yulong City for a few days before leaving Jade Dragon Star, boarding a starship seized from the Star Pirates Group, and flying towards the depths of the starry sky.

The Jade Dragon Star System is just a small star system, consisting of ten stars with Jade Dragon Star as the main body, inhabited by billions of Divine Realm experts, primarily True God Realm experts.

According to the Starshine Commerce Assembly’s information, the person named Xieying is still active among the ten stars of the Jade Dragon Star System.

Xieying is extremely cunning and powerful. Over the years, numerous experts have attempted to hunt him down, only to be counter-killed or evaded by him.

The distances between the ten stars of the Jade Dragon Star System span millions of miles, and Fang Bai and the gods travel along these distances on their starship, searching for traces of Xieying.

"The Starshine Commerce Assembly provided me with the breath of Xieying himself. Now each of you should sense it and remember it well."

Fang Bai said, taking out a Divine Crystal and releasing a wisp of aura.

This aura belonged to a True God Realm expert, exuding an invisible pressure, and it was the aura provided by the Starshine Commerce Assembly as Xieying’s own breath.

Supposedly, Xieying was originally a member of the Starshine Commerce Assembly but fled after violating the daughter of an assembly high-ranking member, committing numerous crimes over the years.

Even now, in the Soul Hall of the Starshine Commerce Assembly, Xieying’s Soul Lamp still exists, and the wisp of his own aura was collected from the Soul Lamp.

The fact that Xieying’s Soul Lamp has not been extinguished indicates he is still alive and well, which makes the assembly’s experts grit their teeth in hatred and consider it a disgrace.

"The Jade Dragon Star System has ten stars, and we, the dozens of strong ones, will be divided into ten groups to search, increasing our chances. That Xieying, though good at concealing his aura, cannot escape our keen senses, and we may find his traces."

Fang Bai said, scanning across Baihua, Linglong, and other gods of the Emperor’s Palace, and added, "Once separated, remember to be cautious and avoid conflict with other experts. If you encounter danger, send a distress signal immediately. Also, whoever first discovers Xieying’s traces should promptly send a signal and call the others to assist, striving to eliminate Xieying in one sweep."

Hearing this, the other gods of the Emperor’s Palace nodded solemnly.

Therefore, Fang Bai and the dozens of gods of the Emperor’s Palace split into ten groups, each flying to one of the ten stars of the Jade Dragon Star System.
