269: Chapter 266 The Exorbitant Bounty

"So many top-rated Martial Artists?"

"Only 30 people came, and 6 of them have strengths reaching the mid-level Sky Patroller?"

If Fang Yu, Zhuang Yiliu, and the others only felt shocked and not too fearful, after all, their own strength was not weak either.

Then the teams from dozens of other civilizations trembled completely in their hearts.

How could anyone contend against such a powerful team?

"6?"

Molv Lan and the leaders of the other few Marquis families all found it tricky; the strength of the Shangyuan Family team also exceeded their expectations.

"You two."

Molv Lan's voice suddenly rang out.

"Your Highness?"

Molv Bu and Molv Bern both looked at Molv Lan.

"This is why I want to win over Fang Yu and the others."

Molv Lan said softly,

"The strengths of all teams are already clear on the table. Aside from our few major Family teams, only the Blue Moon Civilization has extremely strong strength... If we can ally with them, our chances of winning will be greater when we need to confront the Shangyuan Family."

"Hmm."

"Your Highness is wise."

Molv Bu and Molv Bern had to admit this point.

Although the teams from dozens of other civilizations were numerous with thousands of people... Martial Artist duels were determined by top powerhouses, and a single powerhouse could rival hundreds or thousands of people.

It could be said.

Whichever side possessed more superior-rated and top-rated Martial Artists would have absolute say... The Blue Moon Civilization has three top-rated Martial Artists, which destined them to be a force that could not be ignored.

At the location of the Yunshui Civilization and Shangyuan Family teams.

Everyone surrounded a tall man in black.

The man wore luxurious attire, looking dashing and full of nobility. His gaze swept across the entire plaza:

"It seems everyone is paying attention to us."

"Your Highness Xiu."

Eves, whose appearance and temperament were extremely exceptional, lowered her posture greatly and flattered him,

"The participants from these weak civilizations are all shocked by the power of the Shangyuan Family."

"Correct, Your Highness."

Another burly warrior in black armor said in a deep voice,

"I just investigated. Among all participants, besides us, there are only 18 who reached top-rated status, and they are scattered across various teams."

The man in black nodded slightly.

His name was Shangyuan Xiu, and he was the leader of the Shangyuan Family team participating this time... Although people like Molv Lan and Fang Yu did not know him, his reputation among the younger generation of the Shangyuan Family was immense. Although he was only 22 years old, his martial arts talent was peerless, and the strength of his power was beyond doubt.

"Eves, where is the Blue Moon Civilization?"

Shangyuan Xiu said softly.

"Your Highness, right over there."

Eves's eyes lit up, and she quickly pointed out the location of the Blue Moon Civilization team to Shangyuan Xiu, introducing them one after another:

"That one is Fang Yu."

"The other two with top ratings are Williams and Zhuang Yiliu."

Eves said consecutively.

"Fang Yu? Top-rated? No wonder your Yunshui Civilization is willing to spend 100 tianlan coins to buy his head."

Shangyuan Xiu nodded slightly:

"Zhuang Yiliu?"

When Shangyuan Xiu's gaze swept across Zhuang Yiliu, his eyes lit up slightly.

Merely in terms of appearance, Eves could already be called top-notch, but Zhuang Yiliu possessed a unique temperament that made Shangyuan Xiu's heart flutter... With his status, he had seen the beauty of many planetary races.

"The Rift Star Butterfly Star Phase is indeed extraordinary. What a pity, compared to 70 tianlan coins, tianlan coins are still more heart-stirring."

Shangyuan Xiu sighed softly.

"Williams? A top-rated Martial Artist is also worth 30 tianlan coins."

"Alright."

"Eves, I have recorded their Soul auras."

Shangyuan Xiu said indifferently:

"Once we enter the Hundred Beasts Mountain Range, if there is a chance, I will kill them."

"I hope the tianlan coins you promised will arrive on time."

"Your Highness Xiu, rest assured."

Eves quickly said:

"As long as those three die, the agreed-upon tianlan coins will be delivered to Your Highness's account at the very first moment."

Shangyuan Xiu nodded slightly.

He also didn't believe the Yunshui Civilization would dare to deceive him.

"In this battle, with the help of the Shangyuan Family's power, we must slaughter the younger generation of the Blue Moon Civilization entirely."

Eves thought to herself.

Half a year ago.

After the news of the rise of Fang Yu, Zhuang Yiliu, and Williams spread, the upper echelon of the Yunshui Civilization was furious... When the Shangyuan Family team arrived.

The upper echelon of the Yunshui Civilization immediately communicated with Shangyuan Xiu.

Thus, both parties reached an agreement.

At the price of 200 tianlan coins, they hired Shangyuan Xiu to make a move and kill the three of them in the Hundred Beasts Mountain Range.

"Your Highness, do you really want to help the Yunshui Civilization?"

The burly black-armored warrior transmitted via Soul:

"These three from the Blue Moon Civilization all have decent strength, possessing mid-level Sky Patroller strength... It is very likely they will cause trouble for us."

The other few top-rated Martial Artists of the Shangyuan Family also looked at Shangyuan Xiu.

This trip.

Shangyuan Xiu was the absolute leader of the team.

"Kill if there's a chance."

Shangyuan Xiu responded via Soul transmission:

"My goal is to condense 10 Golden Beasts. According to my teacher's meaning, this time in the Hundred Beasts Mountain Range, if 10 Golden Beasts can be condensed, there will be unexpected changes after entering the inner domain... 10 Golden Beasts require 100,000 points."

"If we kill ordinary participants or Vicious Beasts, how many must we kill to collect them?"

"Killing top-rated Martial Artists is the fastest way to collect 100,000 points."

Shangyuan Xiu said indifferently, "I know what you are worried about. The Super-grade Star Phases of a few small civilizations are not worth mentioning; we can easily kill them by joining forces."

In his words, he didn't take Fang Yu and the others to heart at all.

"Moreover, the bounty of 200 tianlan coins is also a huge sum of money."

"Try your best to help me. As long as I can condense 10 Golden Beasts, all the bounty will be split equally among the five of you."

Shangyuan Xiu threw out a benefit.

This moment.

The eyes of the five people, including the burly black-armored man, lit up... Although they all received top ratings, their strength and status were far inferior to Shangyuan Xiu.

Their goal in the future was only to become Starry Sky Martial Artists.

200 tianlan coins averaged 40 tianlan coins per person... To them, this was already a very exaggerated wealth.

"Obey Your Highness's command."

"Obey Your Highness's command."

The five replied one after another.

"You don't have to be so polite."

Shangyuan Xiu smiled faintly:

"Being able to adventure together through life and death is fate. In the future, when everyone becomes Starry Sky Martial Artists, I will need everyone's help when I strive for a peerage."

Shangyuan Xiu knew very well.

Although his status was high and the Family's upper echelons had ordered that the five of them must obey commands... but managing people could not rely solely on commands; one also had to let people see solid benefits.

"Fang Yu? Williams?"

"I hope your base points are higher."

A trace of imperceptible killing intent flashed in the depths of Shangyuan Xiu's eyes, and then he was pondering the teacher's instructions before coming:

"10 Golden Beasts?"

"I wonder."

"What could the Opportunity mentioned by the teacher be?"

In Baishou City, 43 teams were quietly waiting in the plaza, and in a building not far from the plaza, nearly a hundred Starry Sky Martial Artists from dozens of civilizations gathered here.

Some Starry Sky Martial Artists were conversing.

Some sat quietly in one place, staring at the huge light screen projection in the distance. What was displayed in the projection was the scene in the plaza.

"The Shangyuan Family actually has 6 top-rated ones?"

"This?"

"Too unfair! In this operation in the Hundred Beasts Mountain Range, who can contend against them?"

"This rule clearly states it's a competition for us newly born civilizations, yet they let a major Family from the Tianshu Civilization come."

"The strength of these four major families is simply too strong."

Many Starry Sky Martial Artists from newly born civilizations frowned.

Most newly born civilizations didn't even have many superior-rated Martial Artists. Adding up the 43 newly born civilizations, there were only 10 top-rated Martial Artists, and they were still opponents to each other.

Yet the four major families added up to 14 of them.

Once competition started, the teams from the newly born civilizations couldn't possibly be opponents.

"The rules have always been like this."

A tall, thin young man wearing a green robe smiled faintly:

"Look, you are anxious, but Brother Li Jue is very calm. The three peerless geniuses with top ratings from the Blue Moon Civilization this time are definitely the absolute number one among our 43 civilizations."

"Noah, your Tek Civilization is not as good as the Blue Moon Civilization."

This time.

The Starry Sky Martial Artists of various civilizations focused their gazes on Li Jue and Ada... Indeed, the strength of the Blue Moon Civilization team this time was exceptionally powerful.

Li Jue, however, frowned.

If others said it, it would be fine, but that tall, thin young man in green robes was the leader of the Yunshui Civilization team this time.

"Kunke."

Li Jue sneered,

"There is no need to think about drawing hatred for my Blue Moon Civilization again. Which civilization has not had a time when top geniuses rose? It's just my Blue Moon Civilization's turn this time."

"Besides, watching the battle here, we cannot transmit news to the Earth Martial Artists in the plaza."

Li Jue said.

Kunke was precisely the name of the tall, thin young man in green robes.

"I'm not drawing hatred for you, my words aren't finished yet."

Kunke sneered,

"Right now, the higher the points rating, the more they will become the target of public criticism after entering the Hundred Beasts Mountain Range. After all, killing one top-rated Martial Artist is equivalent to killing 100 mid-rated Martial Artists... I hope Fang Yu and the others are strong enough to withstand it."

Li Jue sneered:

"You'd better worry more about Eves, and don't let her get jointly strangled by Fang Yu and the others."

Actually,

what Kunke said was also what Li Jue and Ada worried about the most.

At this moment,

"Li Jue, the news has come back."

Ada's voice suddenly resounded in Li Jue's mind.

Just a moment ago,

after the strength rating of the Shangyuan Family team ended, Li Jue had Ada transmit intelligence back through the Tianlan Realm to query who the powerful figures from the Shangyuan Family were.

Previously, without knowing who came from the Shangyuan Family, it was difficult to gather intelligence, as the Shangyuan Family had tens of millions of Earth Martial Artists.

Now, searching with the result to find answers made the investigation much easier.

In a short moment, the news was transmitted back.

"How is it? Have you found the information on the six top-rated Martial Artists of the Shangyuan Family?"

Li Jue asked.

"That leader should be 'Shangyuan Xiu', who has a huge reputation in the younger generation of the Shangyuan Family, so he was queried first... He should have the Super-grade Star Phase 'Purple Lightning Thunder Cloud'. According to speculation, he should have already comprehended some source intent mysteries, at least at the eighth-floor skill level of Yuanyi Tower, and might even reach the ninth-floor level of Yuanyi Tower."

Ada's voice carried a hint of solemnity:

"His strength is probably close to the high-level Sky Patroller."
