Chapter 474: Chapter 474

At the same time as Qin Wushuang and his friends were training at the Crest Mountain, in one of the corner of the yard in the Heavenly Luo Daoist sect, a black clothed man entered the courtyard swiftly. He stopped his footsteps before a small bamboo forest and let out three whistles, as crisp as the cry of the black-naped oriole.

In a moment, with the sound of footsteps, a young man walked out form that bamboo forest. This person had a handsome appearance. Only, on top of his tall and straight nose, his moving eyes inside his deep eye sockets gave people a sense of harsh feeling.

“Black Panther, do you have the most recent news?” This young man asked lightly.

“Young Master, there are many news from the Orderly Mountain prefecture.” Clearly, this man in black clothes was this young man’s most trusted subordinate.

“I hope that I will hear the information I need!”

“Young Master, there are at least three item of news that might interest you.” Black Panther bowed and said.

“Speak all of them, with details and do not leave out anything!”

Black Panther nodded and started following that young man into that bamboo forest. This bamboo forest seemed simple. In fact, secret formations and other mysteries were hidden in here.

“Speak, even if you were to tear your throat apart by roaring, the outside world would never hear any movements and conversation from this bamboo forest.” This young man said lightly.

“Young Master, the first matter is related to that Qin Wushuang!” With a stern expression, Black Panther talked while observing the reaction from that young man.

Indeed, when he heard the name of “Qin Wushuang,” a trace of unique color had shone from the young man’s thoughtful eyes.

“The information claims that he has already infiltrated the Xuan Yuan Mound. And from the outside rumors, this person is highly possibly related to the Heavenly Emperor Qin Clan.”

“Heavenly Emperor Qin Clan?” That young man was clearly stunned, “Have you heard anything about the Heavenly Emperor Qin having any branches in the human countries?”

“I had never heard about it. However, the Heavenly Emperor Qin Clan had occupied the Heavenly Emperor Mountain for a few thousand years and had millions of disciples. It’s not entirely unreasonable if they had a branch in the human countries.”

That young man nodded and asked again after a moment of silence: “That Qin Wushuang has entered the Xuan Yuan Mound? Is this information reliable?”

“It should have high reliability. The person who spread this information was a freelance martial artist that specialized in selling information at the Orderly Mountain prefecture. And, the person who had questioned him was Mu Rong Qianji! Under the power of the Floating Snow House Lord, that freelance martial artist did not dare to speak lies, nor did he have the qualification to lie! He said that he had acquired the information from the Red Maple Human Clan of the Dispersed Praying Mountain. Before Qin Wushuang entered the Xuan Yuan Mound, the last place he had been active was the Dispersed Praying Mountain. And his actions were dealing the Red Maple Human Clan! Thus, this information is highly trustworthy!”

“Entering the Xuan Yuan Mound, isn’t that just good?” The smile on the face of that young man appeared somewhat willful as he said with an eerie tone, “Did someone pick up that second-class assassination warrant?”

“Young Master, since ancient times, there are too many freelance martial artists who would risk their lives for money. As soon as that second-class assassination warrant went out, of course there were a great number of people as many as the clouds. However, the problem was that these freelance martial artists were ignorant. Up to this point, they had no information regarding Qin Wushuang. I think that relying on those freelance martial artists would not solve the problem.”

That young man nodded lightly with a gloomy expression as if he was thinking about something.

After a while, he asked again: “What about that second matter?”

“For the second piece, it was mentioned earlier. Mu Rong Qianji of the Floating Snow House has arrived at the Orderly Mountain prefecture. It seems that this Mu Rong Qianji is searching for his precious daughter.”

“Mu Rong Qianji…”That Young man slowly spoke this name, “He is putting on a show for us to watch!”

“Young Master, it’s not news that Mu Rong Qianji about going to the Orderly Mountain prefecture. The new information is that he had also issued a one hundred thousand crystal bounty for information related to Qin Wushuang.”

The words of Black Panther instantly caused this young man’s eyebrows to twist. He inhaled a breath of air and asked solemnly: “He is also giving the bounty, and it’s one hundred thousand crystals?”

“Yes, but this Mu Rong Qianji issued bounty for information. And he claimed that he must see a living person, not a dead one. Young Master, Mu Rong Qianji’s interruption would turn our assassination warrant into something of dubious worth. Is this Old Mu Rong showing us his attitude or secretly restraining us?”

The expression on that young man’s face kept changing indefinitely as he had no clue. Mu Rong Qianji had always been peculiar at doing things. It had always been unpredictable and would not allow one to guess his motivation.

However, regardless of Mu Rong Qianji’s motivation, as soon as he had issued the rewards, it had made the bounty issued from the Heavenly Luo Daoist sect become insignificant in comparison.

Everyone knew that the second-class assassination warrant from the Heavenly Luo Daoist sect only offered eighty thousand gold crystal stones as a reward. To acquire these eighty thousand gold crystal stones, they must bring Qin Wushuang’s head.

In contrast to this, if they had truly grasped information regarding Qin Wushuang, in comparable to a fight to the death with Qin Wushuang for the eighty thousand crystals, how could it be any easier than simply gathering this information in exchange for the one hundred thousand crystals from Mu Rong Qianji?

Even an idiot knew how to calculate such cost, not to mention those intelligent martial artists.

“Young Master, although the third matter is not related to Qin Wushuang, it concerns the Heavenly Emperor Qin Clan. It’s about that Hundred Leaf Qin Clan.”

Immediately, this Black Panther explained the sequence of events regarding the recent situation to the Hundred Leaf Qin Clan. The “Young Master” he was addressing was obviously Luo Ting, one of the most exceptional young men of the Heavenly Luo Daoist sect.

This Luo Ting had another identity, he was the fiancé of Miss Mu Rong Xu of the Floating Snow House. This relationship had been determined by the generation before the previous generation when Luo Ting and Mu Rong Xu were still infants.

The Heavenly Luo Daoist sect and the Floating Snow House were on par regarding strength and position in the Xuan Yuan Mound. This marriage engagement could be said to be well-matched.

Because of this marriage engagement, this Luo Ting had been close to the Floating Snow House. Since his younger years, he seen Mu Rong Xu often.

Luo Ting was extremely satisfied with Mu Rong Xu’s temperament and appearance. He had always wished for the date of engagement to arrive sooner.

However, one did not know whether the god of destiny was making a fool of people or because Mu Rong Xu’s rebellious personality, since her childhood to now, Mu Rong Xu neither detested Luo Ting, nor felt close to him. She had been deliberately keeping her distance to a courteous limit. Initially, Luo Ting thought this was due to a young girl’s shyness and reserve.

However, as he grew older and the more deeper of an understanding he had of Mu Rong Xu, he realized that she was not an immature girl. Her nature and unrestrained personality did not make her a lady who would not dare to see people due to shyness.

Although Luo Ting detested such thoughts, he had to admit that genuinely, Mu Rong Xu did not show much admiration toward Luo Ting.

This made Luo Ting feel incredibly depressed and at a loss inwardly. Over many years, such dejected and defeated feeling had gradually turned into a form of anger and resentment. He felt that this Mu Rong Xu was using some means of looking down on him to hurt his pride, which made him feel extremely annoyed.

For your information, although Luo Ting had not come from the Heavenly Emperor Eight Gates, across the entire Xuan Yuan Mound, his talent and passion were among the peak.

If this wasn’t the case, how else had he been able to train all the way to the Profound Void Martial Stage at such a young age? Even if the Heavenly Luo Daoist Sect had cultivated him intentionally or if he had encountered some fortuitous opportunities, these could not deny his talent.

His talent and reputation had brought Luo Ting a lot of attention from other girls. In the Xuan Yuan Mound, there were numerous young girls who admired him. Even within the Heavenly Luo Daoist sect alone, how many of these young girls at the suitable age of the other two major surnamed families wanted to marry him all the time?

However, these attractions did not help to improve Luo Ting’s position inside Mu Rong Xu’s heart. In the end, Mu Rong Xu remained at a courteous distance.

Luo Ting was not a generous young man by nature. Gradually, Mu Rong Xu’s attitude made his personality become somewhat distorted. Inside his heart, a seed of hatred had been planted and the flowers have steadily and gradually bloomed.

“Black Panther, nicely done.” Instantly, countless thoughts flashed across Luo Ting’s mind.

“Young Master, I think…” After following Luo Ting for several years, Black Panther knew his personality more or less.

Seeing Black Panther wanted to say something but hesitated, Luo Ting said lightly: “Black Panther, speak of what’s on your mind. No need to hide anything between us.”

“Yes, Young Master. After having served you for all these years, I have watched you grow, gaining your reputation and achieving the position you are in now. in the future, I will for sure serve you until I can no longer contribute…” Finally, Black Panther entered the main topic after taking the roundabout route, “It’s not me taking advantage of my seniority, but the truth is, I feel that with your talent and passion, in the future, you will for sure become a one of a kind Lord in the Xuan Yuan Mound. It’s highly likely that you will become one of the ruling figures in the Heavenly Luo Daoist sect. Why don’t you spend all your time and effort on training. Why not let the higher-ups take care of the matter regarding the Mu Rong Clan going against the engagement?”

Black Panther’s point was simple. He did not want Luo Ting to accumulate too much mental pressure because of Mu Rong Xu. These mental pressure was already gradually turning into devilish energy to control Luo Ting. Although it still did not pose a significant influence at this point, as time passes, the harm would become evident.

With a cold gaze, Luo Ting glared at Black Panther: “Black Panther, I admit that in the Heavenly Luo Daoist sect, even my family is not as reliable as you. However, I want to say that I am an adult. I have my assertions and boundaries in conducting any business.”

Inwardly, Black Panther gave a long sigh as he knew that in the end, Luo Ting did not take his words to heart. At this point, he knew that it would be meaningless to say anymore. As a subordinate, he could only do this much. If he had spoken anymore, he might get punished for offending the young master.

“Black Panther, make some arrangements, I am going to leave the sect for a while.” Luo Ting glared at Black Panther with a pair of sharp eyes as he issued another order.

Black Panther raised his head with surprise: “Young Master…”

“Don’t worry about my training. It does not mean I am putting aside my training plans by leaving the sect. I am only curious, could that Qin Wushuang know how to shrink into the ground and make himself invisible? Since he has entered the Xuan Yuan Mound, how could all those freelance martial artists discover no trace of him? In this case, I will go myself to see whether that remote and desolate human countries could truly cultivate a giant devilish figure.”

“Young Master…”

“Speak no more, I’ve already made the decision, go arrange it!” Luo Ting’s tone was unquestionable.
