"Lord Lin is too kind. That little devil was destined to be killed by our Inverse Immortal Sect anyway. This was merely a simple task!" the man in the golden mask said indifferently.
It turned out this man in the golden mask was none other than Chen Tianmao, a protector of the Inverse Immortal Sect.
"It's just a shame that little beast mastered so many heaven-defying techniques, and managed to escape from under my nose!" Chen Tianmao continued with a sigh.
Chen Tianmao was naturally very interested in the bounty offered by the Lin family, as it included a Half-Emperor weapon and an Emperor technique. If he could obtain them, it would undoubtedly enhance his strength significantly.
"It matters not. The entire Pine Forest Valley is now sealed. Even if he possessed the ability to traverse heavens, he wouldn't be able to escape!" Lin Xiong said coldly, his eyes filled with endless killing intent. Jiang Li had killed his son, Lin Mo, which had undoubtedly driven the Lin family to madness. Now that Jiang Li was about to fall into their clutches, Lin Xiong wished he could capture Jiang Li immediately and torture him countless times.
"By the way, Protector Chen, do you know the situation in the Central Continent? Do you need our Lin family to intervene!" Lin Xiong asked, as if remembering something.
"Hahaha, the Shi Mo Sect and the Chaos Holy Land in the Central Continent are all useless. Under the onslaught of the dark races, they don't even have the courage to resist. We will soon conquer the entire Central Continent!" Chen Tianmao let out a hearty laugh.
"It seems the Chaos Holy Land and the Shi Mo Sect are indeed a rabble. However, those dark races are still to be wary of; they have no bottom line whatsoever!" Lin Xiong said gravely.
Chen Tianmao nodded. The dark races were indeed a group of people without any moral boundaries. However, since they had chosen to cooperate with the dark races, they had made thorough preparations long ago. Even if the dark races harbored any undesirable intentions, they had contingency plans. Moreover, there were things the Inverse Immortal Sect was doing that the dark races could not refuse.
"Rest assured, we have our plans. Lord Lin, don't forget what your Lin family needs to do when our Inverse Immortal Sect finally takes that crucial step!" Chen Tianmao said.
...
Song Tian Mountain.
In a forest elsewhere on Song Tian Mountain, filled with scorching heat.
Ye Xingwen, along with many elders from the Qiankun Holy Land, was searching all over the forest.
"Divine Son, perhaps we should search elsewhere. We've been here for two hours and haven't found any trace of Jiang Li!" an elder frowned. They had already searched all the areas of Song Tian Mountain without finding any sign of Jiang Li. If Ye Xingwen were not their Divine Son, they would have started scolding him long ago.
"Jiang Li is in the void of the jungle to the right. Quickly, capture him!" Just then, a hurried voice echoed in Ye Xingwen's mind.
Ye Xingwen's pupils constricted. Without hesitation, he launched a fierce attack into the void of the jungle to the right.
"RUMBLE!!!"
With a violent burst of energy, a handsome young man with an extremely pale complexion was blasted out of the void.
"It really is Jiang Li! Quick, capture him!" an elder nearby exclaimed. The others were also excited. They had actually found Jiang Li right beside them; how fortunate!
"WHOOSH WHOOSH WHOOSH!!!"
Ye Xingwen remained silent and directly produced a restraining Holy Weapon, binding Jiang Li. The captured Jiang Li looked pale and weak, as if he were about to perish at any moment. Ye Xingwen himself was somewhat incredulous. Had they captured Jiang Li so easily? Was that person truly as powerful as rumored?
"Now, go claim the bounty and bring it to me!" a cold voice echoed in Ye Xingwen's mind again. Ye Xingwen snapped back to reality. This was not the time to be lost in thought; he needed to quickly claim the Lin family's bounty to exchange for his junior sister.
...
Pine Forest Valley.
A dense jungle, with the sun shining brightly in the sky. The piercing sunlight continuously poured down, making the environment within the jungle oppressively hot. Many cultivators were searching for any sign of Jiang Li around.
In another shaded and hidden area of the jungle.
A distinguished cultivator wearing a silver mask, accompanied by an exceptionally beautiful woman, was resting near a large tree. The stunning woman looked pale and was worriedly massaging the shoulders of the silver-masked cultivator. She wondered how her senior brother was doing and if he could really capture Jiang Li. If he couldn't, then they would truly be in dire straits.
"Rub harder, haven't you eaten?" Just then, a cold voice rang in Tang Yuxuan's ears. Tang Yuning gritted her white teeth and gently bit her red lips. This fellow was truly detestable. Not only was he threatening her senior brother to capture Jiang Li for the bounty, but he was also making her serve him. He was utterly despicable. As the Divine Maiden of the Qiankun Holy Land, Tang Yuning was revered by thousands and was the dream goddess for countless disciples of the Qiankun Holy Land. Even throughout the Northern Plains, she was a highly popular goddess-level figure. Now, to have to serve someone like this, and be ordered around, Tang Yuning felt an unspeakable sense of frustration.
"Is this satisfactory?" Tang Yuning took a deep breath and slightly increased the pressure as she massaged him. When you are under someone else's roof, you have no choice but to bow your head. Her life and her senior brother's life were in this person's hands... She couldn't anger this fellow.
"Good, good, just like that!" the silver-masked cultivator said lazily. Tang Yuning gently bit her lips and continued to massage the silver-masked figure.
"That Jiang Li has been captured. Too late, damn it..."
'Really? He's been captured? Who captured him? That was too fast! I haven't even made my move yet, how could he be captured...'
"I heard it was the Divine Son of the Qiankun Holy Land. He captured Jiang Li on Song Tian Mountain. Now Jiang Li has already been handed over to the Lin family..."
'Song Tian Mountain, my heavens! So that Jiang Li was hiding on Song Tian Mountain! No wonder so many people couldn't find him. This Jiang Li is truly a talent, hiding there...'
"What good is being a talent if he's still captured? What a pity. If only I had captured Jiang Li..."
"You? Think you could capture Jiang Li? You're dreaming too big. Do you think everyone is the Divine Son of the Qiankun Holy Land..."
"...￥...**()￥#@@#"
...
From not far away, a murmur of voices could be heard, interspersed with many sighs and exclamations of regret. Tang Yuning, who was massaging the shoulders of the silver-masked cultivator, looked shocked. Jiang Li had really been captured. Who exactly was this person...
