What does Chapter 152 explain?
"You look unfamiliar, you're definitely not a hunter from the guild. How did you know I'm Ghost Nightmare?"
I've heard of Ji Shen, the headhunter.
"Liar! If you knew me, why did you need the gatekeeper's identification before coming to find me?"
Ji Shen's eyes were sharp, as if he could tear her apart if she told another lie.
Unexpectedly, Ji Shen was quite shrewd. Liu Jun glanced at the fierce-looking Ji Shen a few more times, then suddenly smiled:
"Headhunter Ji is quite meticulous. In that case, am I not qualified to join you? I'm really short of money."
Bounty hunters are often of dubious origin and unwilling to reveal their identities; Ji Shen is well aware of this rule.
This girl may seem weak, but her aura is in no way inferior to others. Moreover, she has no demonic energy and is not a runaway fairy slave with any spiritual power. She is truly a strange person.
Ji Shen has seen his fair share of strange people, but the fact that she could see through his strength at a glance suggests that she is no ordinary person.
Ji Shen plopped back down in his original spot: "Okay, I agree to you joining."
Bazo couldn't believe it: "Brother, how could you agree to this? This is a tricky situation. What use is a little girl like her?"
"That's right, brother! If we fail, we might not only lose the money, but we could also lose our lives!"
Ba You glared at Liu Jun, who was standing there, and said, "Brother, are you blinded by this kid? I don't agree to this! Let her go and find another demon envoy instead of just making up the numbers!"
Ji Shen was swayed by what he was being said. He glanced at Liu Jun, who was watching the show from the sidelines, and realized that he really couldn't afford to gamble.
Liu Jun also saw it, raised his eyebrows and said with a smile, "Forget it, it seems I won't be able to make this money. Time is short, so I won't delay the three of you from making your fortune. Farewell... forever."
Everyone has their own considerations and there's nothing wrong with that; it's just a pity about that large sum of money.
Liu Jun returned to the bulletin board, but this time she went directly to the middle of the bulletin board.
The list posted above only had about twenty items, which contrasted sharply with the odd number at the beginning and end.
Each of the orders listed above is unusually expensive, with no expiration date. Similarly, there are detailed requirements from the bounty hunter and the level of danger of the task.
"Oh, so there's one who tried to assassinate the Ten Protectors..."
That's quite unusual. I've heard that the mastermind behind the Bounty Hall also has the involvement of the Ten Protectors, but I don't know which one it is.
Since "brothers" are involved, why is it allowed to post such a reward on the bulletin board? And judging from the appearance of this notice, it hasn't been posted for just a day or two.
But then again, the position of the Ten Protectors is reserved for the most capable, and there are quite a few people who covet this position. Who knows, it might just be someone who lacks the ability but still wants to sit there.
The hunter got the bounty and he got the position—a win-win situation.
Liu Jun examined the list. He didn't ask for much; he wanted the position of Seventh Protector. He wanted to kill the Seventh Protector himself when he was half-dead and barely clinging to life, and he wanted to do it in front of everyone so that he could rightfully take the position.
The reward is substantial, enough to buy the six-bead divination chart and the materials needed to establish a bloodline connection.
What to do? I'm so tempted! Maybe I should just take this one. Liu Jun tore down the list, folded it, and put it in his pocket.
This matter can't be rushed; she needs to find out what kind of person this Seventh Protector is first.
The Demon Lord has ten protectors, ranked by ability and importance. The first protector is Mo Chu, whose cultivation is second only to Qing Li Ye. The second protector is a fallen demon cultivator whom no one has ever seen before.
As for these seven protectors, their whereabouts are easy to find out.
Information about the Ten Protectors is basically public knowledge in the Demon Realm; everyone knows who sits on them and what their strength is.
Of course, the original three leaders are an exception.
Those three people seemed to be of average strength, but they never revealed their trump cards. No one knew how many tricks they still had up their sleeves. Even the remaining seven guardians dared not underestimate them.
Rather than having the ten positions of Dharma Protector equal, it's more like a clear division of three to seven, with the difference being far more significant than just a small one.
The Seventh Protector is one of the latter three, but although he is one of the latter three, his strength is comparable to the early stage of the Nascent Soul realm. Killing him will probably require some effort.
The Seventh Protector, Yama, is as his name suggests. He is a big, burly man with broad shoulders and a thick waist, but he is not very bright and is often sent to do mindless killing jobs.
I definitely can't beat him in a head-on fight, and even using a trick probably won't be that easy.
Yan Tu has been the seventh protector for at least two or three hundred years. Compared to the other positions that are frequently replaced, his position as the seventh protector is quite secure.
He's simple-minded yet able to sit for so long; he must have some extraordinary abilities. He must have a capable person helping him.
Liu Jun racked his brains over the information he had gathered, but couldn't come up with any useful solutions. He also wondered if he had accepted the bounty order too hastily.
In the dimly lit room, only her sighing could be heard.
Lu Xihan did indeed take Qing Liye away as she said, and now she doesn't know if he's awake or not, but it doesn't really concern her anymore.
Liu Jun now only wants to get money as soon as possible to buy good things to find her body and leave the Demon Realm. She promised Yan Qifeng that she would heal his dantian as soon as possible, and she can't go back on her word. Besides, she really wants to find her body as soon as possible.
"Forget it, let's go and scout things out first so we can figure out what to do next."
We haven't even seen the person yet, so we can't come up with anything useful just by thinking about it.
"I'm really tired today," Liu Jun said, sprawling out on the bed and closing her eyes.
The puppet's body is indeed quite good; it gets sleepy and can even fall asleep while lying down.
……
When Liu Jun opened her eyes again, she didn't know how long she had slept. Her body felt weak all over, just like an ordinary person who had slept for too long.
Before she could even sit up, she turned her head and saw Qing Liye sitting on the edge of the bed, staring at her intently with undisguised scrutiny and inquiry.
Liu Jun was immediately alarmed and her hair stood on end, but her puppet body had no hair to stand on end.
"Why were you able to suppress my backlash?"
"what?"
Liu Jun sat up "calmly" and looked at him with a puzzled expression.
Wasn't this guy coughing up blood and fainting? How would he know that she helped suppress the backlash?
Qing Liye's expression was indifferent, and although he did not show any ruthlessness, he inexplicably gave people an extremely strong sense of pressure: "How did you know my secrets?"
Liu Jun continued to feign innocence: "What secret? Why are you squatting by my bedside asking such nonsensical questions so early in the morning, Lord?"
Qing Liye glanced at her up and down several more times. She did seem completely oblivious, but he had indeed fainted in front of this woman. Why was he awakened to find that woman surnamed Lu instead?
There's also the backlash he suffers from. After each backlash, he loses his demonic energy for a period of time, and every inch of his body feels like it's being sliced by a knife.
So every year on the seventh day of the ninth lunar month, he would go to the icy spring in the Forest of Rebirth to soak for several days to suppress the pain in his body. He would only return when the demonic energy had recovered and his body was no longer in pain.
This time, however, there was no pain as expected, and the demonic energy did not escape. When he woke up, his energy and spirit were even much better. That woman surnamed Lu could never have such abilities.
The only possibility is this woman in front of him, whose name he doesn't even know, a woman full of secrets!
"Where is your younger sister?"
Qing Liye suddenly changed the subject.
After putting on his shoes and socks and straightening his clothes, Liu Jun casually said, "Kill him."
"Oh, you're quite efficient."
Qing Liye also stood up, walked a few steps to the table with his hands behind his back, and sat down again. With a wave of his hand, a tea set appeared. Qing Liye poured himself a cup and placed another cup opposite him.
Without even thinking, Liu Jun knew what he meant. Without any hesitation, he sat down, picked up a teacup made of some unknown material, examined it for a moment, and then took a small sip of the tea.
"Hmm, not bad, refreshing and sweet-smelling. What kind of tea is this?"
Qing Liye also took a sip and said lightly, "Corpse Whispering Kite, as the name suggests, is a flower grown using the body of a human cultivator as nourishment. The flower is then soaked in blood until it is thoroughly soaked and dried using a secret method. Only in this way can the tea be brewed with a bright, clear and transparent color."
Qing Liye stared at her with a half-smile and said.
Liu Jun raised an eyebrow, smiled slightly, and gently sniffed the tea in his hand before taking a sip without changing his expression.
"This tea is made with such complexity, it is indeed a fine tea. If Your Excellency has any left, could you spare some for me?"
Qing Liye stared at her in silence for a while, then suddenly chuckled: "Alright, but you should explain your question first. I don't give away my things for free."
"What else does Your Majesty require of me?"
Liu Jun put down his teacup, rested his chin on his hand, and looked at him with a smile.
"The questions from before: your name, your methods and origins, why you drew the spirit-gathering array..."
"Oh, that's quite a story! Are you sure you want to know?"
