Chapter 879: Thousand Illusion Demon

Chapter 879: Thousand Illusion Demon

The Life and Death Pavilion was as dark and deserted as usual.

“Oh, it’s Nephew Disciple Liu. It took you more than half a year to come back this time.” A middle-aged man in a gray robe in the hall smiled when he saw Liu Ming walking in from the door.

The yellow civet cat on his shoulder glanced lazily at Liu Ming, then it continued to snore again.

“Elder Jiang is polite.” Liu Ming said with a smile, then he lifted his hand, and a blood-stained cloth bag.

The middle-aged man in a gray robe glanced at the cloth bag, and he smiled even more. He released a silver light at the cloth bag.

Compared to the indifferent attitude when Liu Ming first came, he was now more polite toward him.

But this was also because Liu Ming had killed 6 wanted evil cultivators in 2 years. As the deputy elder of the Inner Door Life and Death Pavilion, he had already been rewarded by the sect once.

At this moment, the middle-aged man in a gray robe opened the cloth bag and saw a monk head with 2 rows of scars on it.

“This… this is the lewd monk Chang Ji of Xian Kong Island in the South Sea Region! This man had reached the Real Pellet State intermediate stage and had been doing wicked acts in the South Sea Region for a long time. Due to his cautious and suspicious nature, he was wanted by the Taiqing Sect and Nature Work Sect for almost a hundred years, but no one had been able to kill him. Nephew Disciple Liu is really capable!” The middle-aged man in a gray robe said with great joy.

“This person is really cunning. It took me a lot of effort to force him into a desperate situation.” Liu Ming said.

Speaking of which, Hell Soul Search had helped a lot to successfully kill this Chang Ji. He had been chasing him for months, only then he found his hiding place in a sect in the South Sea Region.

In the past year, all the evil cultivators on the life and death list seemed to have sensed a situation. They were getting increasingly hard to find. Besides, the information provided by the sect was really little. When he traced using that information, these evil cultivators had long been gone.

The Middle Sky Continent was too vast. 2 different regions were separated by tens of thousands of miles. Even if he used the Daiyue Jade Boat and teleportation array, it also consumed a lot of time.

Now, if he wanted to continue earning contribution points through the life and death list, it was getting harder and harder.

“This lewd monk is not low on the life and death list. The sect has offered a reward of 300,000 contribution points.” The middle-aged man in a gray cloth checked the head carefully, then he put it away.

Liu Ming nodded and handed over the identity token. The middle-aged man in a gray robe took out a small silver stick and launched a silver light into the identity token.

Liu Ming checked the token. Now he had accumulated more than 900,000 points, but it was still a long way from 1.5 million points. He could only sigh in his mind.

Although the contribution points rewarded by the bounty on the inner door life and death list were higher, it seemed less as the strength of the bounty target had increased exponentially.

However, there was no other way around. The inner door life and death list was originally opened for inner disciples above the Crystallization Period. Even if the outer disciple wanted to take the bounty, he was not qualified at all.

“Looking at Nephew Disciple Liu’s expression, it seems that you urgently need sect contribution points?” The middle-aged man in a gray robe asked abruptly after seeing Liu Ming’s expression.

“Elder Jiang is right. I indeed need a lot of sect contribution points for something.” Liu Ming replied calmly without concealing it.

“That’s fine. I have a bounty here, offering a reward of 350,000 contribution points. This person killed a great-great-grandson of a Celestial State elder decades ago. The elder cannot revenge himself due to the rules of the life and death list. He made a promise that if any disciple can kill the evil cultivator, he will add an additional 100,000 contribution points.” The middle-aged man in a gray robe said slowly.

“450,000 contribution points! Elder Jiang, please tell me about it!” Liu Ming’s heart pounded.

“That person’s name is Fei Yi, a solitary demonic cultivator who cultivated to the Real Pellet State more than 200 years ago. He is proficient in illusion techniques. According to rumors, this person has an extremely rare thousand illusion spiritual body, which enables him to morph at will. He is known as the ‘Thousand Illusion Demon’ among the evil cultivators.” The middle-aged man in a gray robe saw that Liu Ming seemed very interested, so he took out a jade slip.

“However, regarding this person, the sect is unable to trace his specific whereabouts. Here is the information about the ‘Thousand Illusion Demon’ that the Celestial State elder sent people to collect in the past few decades. This is 1 of the copies. If you are interested in this, this should be helpful.” The middle-aged man in a gray robe said as he threw the jade slip over.

“Thank you so much, senior. I will accept this bounty.” Liu Ming reached out to catch the jade slip and said decisively.

450,000 contribution points was really a big temptation. As long as there were some clues, it would only take at most a few months to find his whereabouts. With Hell Soul Search, he believed he would find the whereabouts of Thousand Illusion Demon.

Thinking of this, Liu Ming quickly left the Life and Death Pavilion and flew back to his cave house.

“Master, you are finally back!”

As soon as he entered the cave house, a girl in black tulle greeted him. It was Xie’er.

In the past 2 years, he went out to hunt down evil cultivators on the life and death list without bringing his spiritual pets. It was because Demon Flying Skull had been in a semi-sleeping state since he had devoured the Real Pellet State ghost creature last time, and he left Bone Scorpion to take care of him.

“Did anyone come to visit me after I left?” Liu Ming asked casually.

“Master is now a very popular figure in the sect. During this period, many people came to visit, but since master was away, most of them only left a message.” Xie’er said as she passed a stack of voice transmission talismans to Liu Ming.

Liu Ming replied softly, took it over and checked one by one.

These sound transmission talismans were all left by some inner disciples, and the content was similar. They all expressed their willingness to get acquainted. There were even several female disciples, conveying their admiration for Liu Ming between the lines.

Liu Ming was dumbfounded. His engagement with Jia Lan was known to everyone in the sect. These female disciples were really bold.

He crushed the talismans at will. He picked up the light blue sound transmission at the bottom. It was actually left by Jia Lan.

Speaking of which, they hadn’t seen each other for a while.

Liu Ming released Divine Thought into the sound transmission talisman, and he was slightly startled after a while.

In the sound transmission talisman, Jia Lan only left a few words. The general idea was that she was about to retreat and start to hit the bottleneck of the Crystallization Period later stage.

With Jia Lan’s qualifications, this speed was also normal. In the end, the woman also asked Liu Ming to be careful when traveling out there.

Liu Ming put down the sound transmission and showed a slightly complicated look. After a while, he smiled bitterly.

Jia Lan said these with her position as his dual cultivation partner.

He had feelings for this woman. After all, since he stepped into the Savage Ghost Sect, this woman was considered to have entered his world. She also followed him all the way from the Yunchuan Continent to the Middle Sky Continent.

However, every time he thought of the words “dual cultivation”, there would always be a heroic figure in white clothes in his mind.

“Ye……”

Liu Ming finally sighed. He waved his sleeve, and the talisman dissipated into blue light spots.

Seeing this, Xie’er stood by very obediently and did not disturb him.

After Liu Ming calmed his emotions, he went to the secret room to check Fei’er’s situation. He was still asleep without any danger.

Liu Ming returned to the secret room, took out the jade slip given to him by the middle-aged man in a gray robe and stuck it on his forehead to read in detail.

There was not much content in the jade slip. Most of which were all kinds of information about this “Thousand Illusion Demon”. Such as his origin, his master and the place he often appears, etc, but these were just some fragmented information.

After Liu Ming read it in detail, he also found some useful details in it.

He pondered quietly in the secret room for a while, and he roughly had a plan to find Thousand Illusion Demon.

“Xie’er, you go with me this time.” Liu Ming walked out of the secret room and said to Xie’er who was standing at the door.

Bone Scorpion’s ability to perceive and control the earth attribute power was quite good. She once helped him in Tianmen Secret Realm. This time, he might be able to use her in the pursuit of the Thousand Illusion Demon.

“Understood, Master!” Xie’er said with surprise and joy. Due to the soul contract, both Xie’er and Fei’er were reluctant to separate from Liu Ming.

However, Xie’er immediately raised her face and said hesitantly, “But Master, wouldn’t it be inappropriate to leave Fei’er alone in the cave house…?”

“It’s fine. Before I leave, I will activate all the protective enchantments of the cave house, so that no one will disturb Fei’er’s cultivation. After all, this is the Taiqing Sect.” Liu Ming shook his head and smiled.

Hearing this, Xie’er was completely relieved. She turned and flew into the soul-recovering bag.

Liu Ming didn’t stay in the cave house much, and he soon walked out. He chanted and launched a few symbols at the cave house token.

The door of the cave house was immediately covered with layers of faint green light, and all the internal defensive enchantments were activated.

After doing all this, he flew toward the teleportation hall of the sect.

TL: This Thousand Illusion Demon could even be at the later stage, will he be forced to use the Void Sword this time?
