Chapter 207 What a fucking joke!

Xu Shi’s father, the City Lord of Xuanqiang City, King Xuanqiang, and the Xu Family’s External Affairs Elder, Xu Wangxuan, were currently suspended in mid-air atop the highest Skytower.

His voice, like a roll of thunder, echoed throughout the entire city.

All the Cultivators within Xuanqiang City were startled.

In the past, any bounties or wanted notices were always handled by the Cultivators of the City Lord’s Mansion.

The City Lord, let alone making an appearance, might not even issue a direct order once in several decades or even a century.

Now, he was personally proclaiming a bounty and wanted notice to the entire city, indicating that the matter was of great importance.

Everyone subconsciously stopped what they were doing and listened intently.

“A King Realm Cultivator ignored this King’s Incarnation’s dissuasion and insisted on killing my son, Xu Shi!”

“Wantonly harming my Xu Family’s Prodigy is a provocation to Xuanqiang City, and also a provocation to the Xu Family’s prestige!”

“This person has severely threatened the safety of my Xu Family’s Prodigy Disciples when they travel and gain experience outside. This King, in the name of the Xu Family’s External Affairs Elder, now offers a bounty for information on this person to all Cultivators!”

“If anyone can provide useful clues, this King will grant him the right to choose any position in Xuanqiang City and reward him with a Low Grade King Dao Weapon!”

“If anyone can capture and detain him, this King can provide a ten-thousand-year Earth Spirit Marrow, plus a Medium Grade King Dao Weapon!”

The grand voice spread throughout Xuanqiang City, and an enormous human-shaped illusion condensed in the sky above the city. Cultivators in any corner of the city could see the image just by looking up.

This person was tall and slender, clad in a light cyan embroidered robe, possessing an ineffably noble and mysterious aura. It was Li Xuanfeng.

“Who exactly is this King Realm? How dare he kill a Xu Family Prodigy?!”

“He must have a significant background, otherwise how could he be so audacious?”

“But he looks very unfamiliar. As a King Realm Cultivator, if he truly had a great background, he wouldn’t be so obscure, would he?”

“Perhaps he cultivated in seclusion, having been in closed-door cultivation for hundreds or thousands of years. It’s normal for him to be unknown!”

“This bounty is truly tempting, directly rewarding King Dao Weapons!”

“After all, the bounty is for a King Realm expert. Cultivators below the King Realm don’t need to consider it. Even just providing useful clues isn’t something ordinary Cultivators can participate in!”

“The bold thrive, the timid starve. In the face of a reward like a King Dao Weapon, there will always be people who take risks to keep an eye on his whereabouts.”

“Heh heh, you are still too young and haven’t witnessed the terror of the King Realm. If he doesn’t want to be seen, you wouldn’t even notice him standing right in front of you!”

“Even if you do see him, the moment you harbor hostility, he will detect it immediately!”

As soon as the bounty and wanted notice were issued, all the Cultivators in the city fell into heated discussion.

Xu Wangxuan’s son died at Li Xuanfeng’s hands, which was originally a personal vendetta, but he used the banner of the Xu Family to pin the crime of threatening the Xu Family’s Prodigy and provoking the Xu Family’s prestige on Li Xuanfeng.

This undoubtedly directly pitted Li Xuanfeng against the entire Xu Family.

Of course, as a key pre-King Realm Prodigy nurtured by the Xu Family, Xu Shi’s death outside would have prompted the Family to send people to investigate, even without his father, the City Lord Xu Wangxuan.

Xu Wangxuan issuing the bounty and wanted notice in the name of an Elder allowed him to mobilize more of the Family’s power to search for clues about Li Xuanfeng.

However, Li Xuanfeng was, after all, a King Realm Cultivator, and all information about him was still unknown. It might not take too long to investigate his background and origins clearly.

But locating his exact position would not be an easy task.

It would be difficult for Xu Wangxuan alone to achieve this; he could only rely on the Family’s power.

Soon after his bounty and wanted order were issued, his subordinate forces began to operate.

The Sky Spear Domain was vast, and each cultivation city was incredibly far apart.

It was extremely difficult for Cultivators below the King Realm to travel between two adjacent cities, requiring a long time.

To ensure the flow of Cultivators between major cultivation cities, as well as to facilitate support and management, the Xu Family had set up spatial teleportation arrays in every city.

Therefore, even if ordinary Cultivators ran errands, various important intelligence from the cultivation world could be quickly transmitted and circulated.

The bounty and wanted order issued by Xu Wangxuan spread to cultivation cities in all directions in this manner.

The allure of King Dao Weapons caused countless Cultivators to begin paying attention to news of Li Xuanfeng.

One month later.

Xu Wangxuan obtained detailed intelligence regarding Li Xuanfeng.

“Great Yan Dynasty’s Hundred Swords Mountain?”

“Condensed an invincible momentum in the King’s Fall Land?”

“At the Peak of Life and Death Realm Ninth Layer, he counter-attacked and killed King Realm Cultivator, King Chihuo? His Master is suspected of having helped from behind?”

“The Black Flame Sect’s Lijiang Branch Left Protector went to Hundred Swords Mountain, and is also suspected to have fallen at the hands of Li Xuanfeng’s Master? And King Tianfeng?”

“All these things happened within the last two or three months?”

Looking at the pieces of intelligence presented by his subordinates, Xu Wangxuan frowned deeply.

A month’s time, for a King Realm expert like him who often goes into seclusion for hundreds or even thousands of years, was merely the time it took to meditate and adjust his Qi.

However, with the power of the Xu Family’s intelligence agency, it was entirely sufficient to investigate Li Xuanfeng’s general background.

And this intelligence must have been presented to him only after multiple confirmations.

But why did it seem incomprehensible to him?

The Dao of Martial Arts was something far removed from him; he hadn’t heard of it in many years.

After all, that was something Cultivators below the King Realm needed to comprehend, but it was said that no one in the younger generation of the Eastern Barrens today could comprehend an invincible momentum.

Li Xuanfeng’s ability to comprehend it was enough to prove the terrifying extent of his talent.

Leaving that aside for now, even if he was a Prodigy to the extreme, he couldn’t possibly counter-attack a King Realm Cultivator, could he?

What “suspected his Master helped from behind” meant was that his Master must have helped from behind to achieve it!

But there was a crucial problem: his Incarnation had seen Li Xuanfeng and confirmed that Li Xuanfeng was a genuine King Realm Cultivator!

How long had it been since the events at the King’s Fall Land?

Was it that easy to Breakthrough from the Peak of Life and Death Realm to the King Realm?

Don’t look at his son, Xu Shi, being a key pre-King Realm Prodigy nurtured by the Family, but to truly Breakthrough to the King Realm, one shouldn’t even think about it without one or two hundred years.

It was even entirely possible to never cross that threshold in one’s entire life!

However, according to the intelligence, when Li Xuanfeng first entered the King’s Fall Land, he seemed to only be in the Divine Transformation Realm?

It was just that his talent was exceptionally monstrous, allowing him to counter-attack Cultivators in the Integration Realm.

If everything was true, wouldn’t that mean Li Xuanfeng Breakthrough to the King Realm from the Divine Transformation Realm in just a few months?

“This is absolutely ridiculous!”

Xu Wangxuan’s eyelids twitched.

He had never doubted the Xu Family’s intelligence agency.

But today, for the first time, he questioned the veracity of the Family’s intelligence.

“It’s impossible for such a monster to exist in this world!”

“Not even the Blood River Holy Land could cultivate such a monster. If Li Xuanfeng were truly that much of a Prodigy, even the Holy Land’s Saint wouldn’t be qualified to gaze at his back!”

“There’s a problem! A big problem!”

“Must investigate again!”

Xu Wangxuan frowned in thought.

Although Xu Shi was infertile, he was his most prodigious son, and he had expended considerable effort on him.

The grudge for his son’s murder could not be easily dismissed because of Li Xuanfeng’s bizarre intelligence.

“If he is truly that much of a Prodigy, then there’s undoubtedly one more reason for him to die. Such a monster poses too great a threat if he grows up. Since we’ve already formed an enmity, he must be eliminated as soon as possible!”

After some contemplation, Xu Wangxuan made a decision in his heart.
