Chapter 2471 Blue-Clad Woman; Becoming a Ranked Name

Lin Xun gave it some thought, and his overall appearance swiftly changed.

At his current level, no one would be able to see through his true face unless they had an innate talent in this regard or were an Ancestor of a Path.

He then teleported toward Tiger’s Den City.

The entrance was guarded by a group of soldiers. Like in Origin City, all of them were Emperors with a powerful aura.

In particular, their leader was a Ninth Realm Ancestor, which made one wonder what mistake this expert had made that demoted them to this situation.

Before the gates, many people had gathered to read the black talismans posted on the city wall.

As Lin Xun got closer, he saw a lifelike portrait drawn on each black talisman, and under the portrait were the details of the criminal.

The talismanic notices were all stamped with different rune seals.

“These seals represent the authority of different Immortal Imperial Clans, and each clan has a unique seal. From the one stamped on a notice, people would know which Immortal Imperial clan issued it,” the green sparrow informed Lin Xun through transmission.

In the Great Thousand Battle Domain, the forty-nine Immortal Heavenly Passes were controlled by different Immortal Imperial Clan forces.

They were like the makers and enforcers of laws and order, the kind of existences that countless cultivators had to look up to with awe!

The people wanted on these black talismans were all menaces who had violated the rules in the Immortal Heavenly Passes and were regarded as sinners.

“There have been more and more of these wanted savages recently.”

“Heh, aren’t you a bumpkin? Every once in a while throughout history, there would be a bunch of Emperors who come here from the Great Thousand Worlds. It's inevitable that there are menaces among them who completely disregard rules and regulations.”

“Makes sense. They are Great Emperors who call the shots in their respective world like overlords. How could they stand being tied by the rules of the Great Thousand Battle Domain?”

The people in the area discussed in low voices without scruples.

“Look there, the number one wanted criminal is still Cang Fusheng. This hasn’t changed in eight thousand years...”

"According to the rumors, he was already a supreme eighth realm Emperor when the bounty on his head was posted due to him killing some Eternal True Realm’s nobles in the eighteenth Immortal Heavenly Pass. But up until now, after eight thousand years, no one has been able to deal with him. On the contrary, he has continued to kill quite a number of formidable experts from Immortal Imperial Clans. Truly a top elite among menaces!”

“The number two, Blade Bearer, has remained in this rank for a long time as well. His identity is the most mysterious among all the wanted criminals. So far, no one knows where he's from, we only know that his terrifying blade cultivation knows no bounds, and he can slay Ninth Realm Ancestors like killing chickens!”

Listening in on the people's discussion, Lin Xun also realized that the talismanic notices were arranged in a specific order.

The highest ranked was a person called Cang Fusheng. The portrait depicted an unrestrained man with long flowing hair who wore a wide-sleeved white robe. His feet stepped on a broken world while a seven-inch golden-colored bronze coffin floated above his head.

At a glance, this person radiated a lofty and arrogant air as though he was the only hegemon in the whole wide world!

Cang Fusheng’s wanted notice said that he came from Manjushri Starfield, which was ranked third in the Great Thousand Worlds, and that he was extremely powerful at the peak of the supreme eighth realm.

The reward for him was thirty million first-grade cosmic origin crystals!

Lin Xun pondered, “It’s been eight thousand years and he still hasn’t left. Is there an even deadlier hunt waiting for him in the Eternal True Realm?”

Below the highest notice was the bounty for the mysterious second ranked Blade Bearer. This person wore a bamboo hat and was covered in an obscure aura of chaos, making it impossible to see his appearance. The thing that stood out was the rusty battle blade on his back.

According to what was written on this black talisman, Blade Bearer was only a supreme seventh realm Emperor. However, in the last one thousand years, he had frequented different Immortal Heavenly Passes and killed many formidable Ninth Realm Ancestors.

No one knew his background and origin, so he was simply known as Blade Bearer.

The reward for him was twenty-seven million first-grade cosmic origin crystals.

This fellow...is also a ruthless one...

Lin Xun commented in his heart.

With his current cultivation, he no longer paid attention to people around his generation, but this Blade Bearer was different, for one could tell at a glance how extraordinary he was.

Lin Xun continued to look through the list.

There were over a hundred of black talismans with profiles of different wanted criminals. The reward for each of them was huge.

“It's been eight thousand years and Cang Fusheng still hasn’t stepped into the ninth realm. If he had, then he would have gone to the Eternal True Realm...” rang a pleasant voice as Lin Xun was viewing the notices.

He turned his head and saw a woman clad in blue next to him. Dressed up as a man, she was fiddling with the folding fan in her hand. Her eyes were bright, her teeth pearly white, and her skin was smooth and fair. The way she was dressed up added a sprightly, unbridled air to her demeanor.

Noticing Lin Xun's gaze, the blue-robed woman didn't care and just continued, “As for Blade Bearer, whose movements and whereabouts are always secretive, I'm afraid that he has already stepped into the eighth realm. He cannot be as simple as stated in the wanted notice.”

Lin Xun was startled. This blue-robed woman seemed to know the situation of the Great Thousand Battle Domain like the back of her hand.

Many people nearby had also heard her remark. One of them immediately asked, “Could it be that you've seen Blade Bearer?”

“I haven’t, but it can be speculated,” replied the blue-robed woman calmly, her eyes clear. “Given the strength Blade Bearer has displayed, it would be a total joke if he couldn’t enter the eighth realm in the span of a thousand years.”

Many people inwardly agreed.

“However, whether it’s Cang Fusheng or Blade Bearer, they are ultimately wanted criminals. They may be very famous, but they aren’t necessarily the most powerful in this Great Thousand Battle Domain.” The blue-robed woman's speech took an abrupt turn that immediately aroused everyone’s interest.

“Then, Fellow Daoist, who in your opinion is the current strongest in the Great Thousand Battle Domain?” someone couldn't help but ask.

“Hard to say.” The blue-robed woman's tone then became thought-provoking, “But when the Battlefield of the Gods located near the forty-ninth Immortal Heavenly Pass shows itself, perhaps we will be able to find out who is the strongest on the Emperor path.”

The Battlefield of the Gods!

The expressions of many people slightly changed upon these words.

Lin Xun was also curious, so he just asked the green sparrow via voice transmission.

The latter quickly replied, “This is an extremely far-fetched legend that was circulated a hundred thousand years ago. It was said that outside the forty-ninth Immortal Heavenly Pass, there is a mysterious forbidden area called the Ruins of the Gods where the supreme secret treasure of the previous epoch is buried, and when the Battlefield of the Gods appears in these ruins, it means that supreme treasure is about to emerge.

“Putting aside the credibility of this legend, the Ruins of the Gods is already the most terrifying and mysterious forbidden area in the Great Thousand Battlefield. Over the past one hundred thousand years, not single person has been able to walk out of it alive, no matter their cultivation.

“As for this so-called supreme secret treasure, it has never appeared at all, so no one knows if the rumor about it is true or not.”

Upon learning this, Lin Xun wondered about the intention of the blue-robed woman for mentioning the Battlefield of the Gods. Could it be that she had gotten wind of something and thought that this battlefield was about to appear?

Right at this moment, a line of soldiers suddenly walked out from the city and stopped in front of the gate.

One of them took out a new talisman, and with a wave of this soldier’s hand, it shot out like a black streak a black stream and stuck itself above the gate.

Moreover, this brand new notice took the ninth position!

The scene instantly caused a sensation in the area, drawing all gazes.

"Ling Xuanzi? Why haven't I heard of this person before?"

“He killed the lord of Origin City three months ago? Too ferocious, that's an Ancestor of a Path!”

𝒻𝑟𝘦𝘦𝘸ℯ𝒷𝑛𝘰𝓋ℯ𝘭.𝘤𝘰𝘮

“Heavens, he's only a supreme seventh realm Emperor, yet he started a bloodbath in Origin City and trampled through the City Lord’s Residence!”

A clamor rose as everyone gawked with their jaws agape.

Meanwhile, a cold flash imperceptibly crossed the depths of Lin Xun's eyes.

Clearly, what had happened in Origin City had been spreading like a storm and reached Tiger’s Den City!

It was foreseeable that in the following period of time, his wanted notice would appear in more and more Immortal Heavenly Passes.

Lin Xun's expression was unmoving as he raised his eyes to take a closer look.

The portrait on the black talisman was him standing midair during his fight before the City Lord’s Residence in Origin City.

It came with a detailed record of the crimes he had committed, such as how he had gone on a killing spree after returning from the Trial World, and then set off a bloody storm in Origin City.

The reward was six million first-grade cosmic origin crystals, ranking ninth among the listed of the wanted.

The issuers were the Wen and Heng Immortal Imperial Clans. Both of their seals were imprinted on the notice.

“According to what’s written here, this person has only appeared in the Great Thousand Battle Domain half a year ago, yet he’s caused such a bloodshed. We definitely have an absolute monster here!”

“Can't you see, this Ling Xuanzi is actually from the Ancient Nebula Road, a declining place...”

The crowd discussed in astonishment.

The blue-robed woman suddenly said, "The Ancient Nebula Road is actually not simple. Hundreds of thousands of years ago, it was ranked first among the Great Thousand Worlds. Countless heaven-defying giants emerged from there, to the point that back then, no one in the Great Thousand Battle Domain dared to provoke a Great Emperor from the Ancient Nebula Road."

Many people were unimpressed, "So what if it was once glorious? The currents will always be dispersed by wind and rain in the end. Nowadays, the Ancient Nebula Road is even struggling to keep its position in the Great Thousand Worlds within the top one hundred."

The blue-robed woman shook her head, her voice laced with a hint of sentiment. “You are making it out to be too simple. Forget it, all these things...are indeed clouds of the past now...”

Lin Xun was a little surprised. This blue-robed woman seemed to know quite a lot of secrets about the Ancient Nebula Road, which was rare.

Hmm?

Lin Xun suddenly squinted as he sensed a bone-piercing chill quietly appearing nearby. It was extremely obscure.

However, the biting frost in its murderous intent was unrivaled.
