But the risk of such behavior was that it would lead to premature contact with the Myriad Tribes’ Powerhouses.

Shooting the leading bird, revealing oneself too soon, could easily draw the attention of those with intent.

“At the Witch Emperor Peak, my true combat strength should not be weaker than a Witch Emperor,” Lin Yuan thought to himself.

Compared to the indigenous powerhouses, Lin Yuan was an outsider, with a broader perspective, and his mastery of strength left the indigenous Witch Emperors of the same level far behind.

In fact, over the years, Lin Yuan had created various combative arts, using his Against-Heaven’s Understanding, elevating his methods of killing to an astonishing level.

“The upcoming Witch Emperor Realm… according to my deductions, is a crucial stage, related to fully unleashing my potential once I step into the Ancestral Witch Realm.”

*Lin Yuan mused silently to himself. From the beginning of his cultivation, Lin Yuan had used his Against-Heaven’s Understanding to start deducing the path beyond the Witch Ancestor Realm.* He clearly understood the importance of the Witch Emperor Realm.

Actually, from the Witch Emperor Realm onward, Lin Yuan had been gradually abandoning the original cultivation system of this world; instead, he started creating a cultivation method completely suitable for himself and adaptable to this world.

“I still need to draw upon a large number of this world’s cultivation methods. Otherwise, when transitioning to the Witch Emperor level, I might waste a lot of time.”

*Lin Yuan thought to himself.*

The Martial Tao’s evolution path was created by observing a large number of other evolutionary paths.

Just as Lin Yuan was deep in thought,

a voice suddenly came through.

“Sir.”

“Come in,” Lin Yuan glanced toward the door.

Very soon,

a thin man walked in.

This thin man was named Zha Ran Gu, the controller of the Luochuan settlement, a Witch King Level powerhouse.

Twelve years ago, when Lin Yuan stepped into the Witch Emperor Realm, he easily subdued Zha Ran Gu, becoming the true master of this large settlement.

Of course, outsiders did not know Lin Yuan’s identity, as everything was done in secret.

“Master,” Zha Ran Gu said respectfully.

Only he knew how terrifying Lin Yuan’s strength really was.

When Lin Yuan first appeared before him, saying he wanted to take over the settlement, Zha Ran Gu paid little heed. But everything that happened afterward made him shiver to this day.

The strength Lin Yuan exhibited far exceeded that of a Witch King. Years ago, Zha Ran Gu had once seen a Witch Emperor level powerhouse by chance, but he seemed no match for Lin Yuan.

“Any results from what I asked you to investigate?” Lin Yuan asked calmly.

Since he was in hiding at the Luochuan settlement, the entire settlement had to be under his control, which was the reason Lin Yuan subdued Zha Ran Gu.

After becoming the true master of the Luochuan settlement, at least in terms of cultivation resources during the Witch Emperor stage, many challenges were alleviated.

But it was only a relief; going forward, Lin Yuan needed to step into the Witch Emperor Realm, requiring resources that the Luochuan settlement could not provide.

So, not long ago, Lin Yuan had instructed Zha Ran Gu to keep an eye on the surrounding information.

“Sir, the whereabouts of the Yunshan Eighteen Bandits have been confirmed,” Zha Ran Gu whispered.

The Yunshan Eighteen Bandits were known as eighteen notorious Witch Kings.

These eighteen Witch Kings were all at the Witch King Peak, committing all kinds of evil, carrying many bounties and rewards on their heads.

Calculating roughly, the bounty for each Witch King exceeded two million Yuan Crystals, and for the eighteen Witch Kings, it was close to a sky-high price of forty million Yuan Crystals.

Lin Yuan needed a lot of resources for cultivation, but how to get them?

The fastest way was plundering, but it posed a huge risk and was too high-profile.

Thus, taking up the ancient country’s bounties to hunt down those high-bounty fugitives was the safest method Lin Yuan could think of.

Killing those fugitives would not be questioned afterward, and responding to the ancient country’s bounty ensured his identity would remain confidential.

In this situation, he could also earn a large sum in rewards, perfectly aligning with Lin Yuan’s expectations.

This did not even include the wealth carried by the Yunshan Eighteen Bandits themselves.

“I know,” Lin Yuan nodded.

The Yunshan Eighteen Bandits recently committed another major crime, pursued by Witch Emperor level powerhouses, eventually fleeing to the surrounding areas.

As a local power in the Luochuan settlement, Zha Ran Gu, having operated there for many years, was the first to lock onto the approximate current area of the Yunshan Eighteen Bandits.

“If you plan to deal with the Yunshan Eighteen Bandits, be cautious. They have practiced a coordinated attack technique. Together, even a Witch Emperor has to give way…”

Zha Ran Gu whispered.

The bounties on the Yunshan Eighteen Bandits were close to forty million Yuan Crystals, a fortune that even a Witch Emperor yearned for.

But for all these years, the Yunshan Eighteen Bandits had remained at large. Many Witch Emperors had hunted them down, but none succeeded.

Fewer still, several Witch Emperors had been injured by those bandits and suffered considerable losses.

Zha Ran Gu held immense respect for Lin Yuan’s strength, but faced with such formidable bandits as the Yunshan Eighteen Bandits, one could never be too cautious.

…

Dongyuan City.

This was the nearest city to the Luochuan settlement, and a rare large city.

On the bustling and lively streets, Lin Yuan strolled leisurely, his face and figure having undergone significant change.

Since planning to kill the Yunshan Eighteen Bandits, Lin Yuan naturally accepted the bounty in advance.

If he killed them first and then accepted the bounty, disputes could easily arise.

Xueyu Tavern.

This was the bounty release point established by the official forces of Xueyu Ancient Country.

It was specifically for manhunting those extremely wicked individuals, and anyone could issue a bounty targeting someone here.

Lin Yuan walked into Xueyu Tavern, and soon someone appeared specially to greet him.

“Are you here to accept a bounty, or to issue one?” The person receiving Lin Yuan was a hunched old man, his eyes deep as he quietly observed Lin Yuan.
