All cultivators knew that news was rarely hung on the trunk of the News Tree.

However, if news was posted there, it would mean that something big enough to stir the entire West Infinity World had happened!

Presently, there was a single snow-white leaf the size of a palm leaf hanging from the trunk of the ancient News Tree.

Hazy light overflowed from it, transforming into a screen.

On the screen, a battle for the ages was unfurling.

It was a duel between a young man and woman.

The man resembled a young demon god. His black eyes shone fiercely as a brilliant glow spread around him, exuding an aura of overbearing tyranny and disdain as he wove through the sky.

The woman wore a silver mask. Her beautiful figure resembled a fairy but her attacks were simply astonishing. The horrifying sword qi she unleashed was unparalleled in sharpness and could cut even the nine heavens itself!

Although the image on the screen was shaky and blurred, it didn’t diminish the attention of the cultivators present. They looked deeply shocked and were completely drawn by the battle.

Meanwhile, an elderly voice sounded from the screen, introducing the battle―

"This is an earth-shaking battle that took place a month ago in the Flame Capital of the Fire Spirit Province which caused the entire Fire Spirit Province to fall into an uproar. The moment we found out, our Windspeaker Clan immediately started investigating all the details about the battle..."

"Regretfully, all that we’ve managed to ascertain so far is that the demon-god-like youngster is named Lin Xun and was seen at one of the inns in the Flame Capital. It’s also rumored that he has quite a close relationship with the Star Dome Sect’s successor, Xia Xiaochong, and the Eight Extremes Blades Temple’s successor, Fang Linhan. "

"Despite spending many days investigating, our Windspeaker Clan has failed to uncover Lin Xun’s origins. However, we are certain that he is someone who can be called a supreme heaven pride among the West Infinity World’s younger generation!"

Lin Xun?

The name was so unfamiliar that it left the cultivators present baffled. When had such a supreme heaven pride appeared in the Fire Spirit Province?

Yu Xuejiao’s heart trembled violently. She had recognized in a single glance that the demon-god-like man depicted on the screen was the same youngster she had met several hours ago!

"It turns out that he is far stronger than I thought..." Yu Xuejiao was unable to remain calm.

She secretly rejoiced that she had not used strong-arm tactics on Lin Xun back then. Otherwise, the consequences would have been unthinkable.

Yu Xuejiao's younger brother, Yu Xuetian, was dumbfounded. His expression fluctuated indeterminately, not daring to believe his eyes.

He had also recognized Lin Xun. The thought of how he had rudely provoked Lin Xun drenched his body in a cold sweat. It was scary to think how close he had been to incurring a big disaster!

The elderly voice continued to speak from the screen, "As for the lady, her origin is even more mysterious and terrifying. It is taboo for us to say more, and we have no choice but to keep it a secret..."

An uproar immediately ensued.

Lin Xun was already mysterious enough, but it turned out that the girl in the silver mask had even more scary origins. It was genuinely alarming that even the Windspeaker Clan did not dare to reveal her identity.

"The battle for the great age is fast approaching, and many hidden monsters have begun to reveal themselves to the world."

"In the future, things will only become more and more lively. Many heaven-defying geniuses are destined to emerge from the younger generation like the young man named Lin Xun, whom no one had ever heard of before!"

Many cultivators sighed and lamented.

"Such a peerless duel is indeed a rare event. It is likely that Lin Xun's name will soon spread throughout the entire West Infinity World! "

Some people predicted.

"Yeah, such a monster can probably compare to the five younger-generation inner true disciples of the Feather Sword Sect. Someone like him will definitely become famous throughout the world."

The comments and judgments from the nearby cultivators caused Yu Xuetian's complexion to become increasingly pale as he grew uneasy and anxious.

The Yu Family was only a major power in Snow Maple City. Although they had strong foundations, how could they possibly compare to a supreme heaven pride who could shake the entire West Infinity World?

"Little Brother, this is a lesson you must remember. Do not act so recklessly in the future. Otherwise, you’ll sooner or later bring disaster to yourself!"

Yu Xuejiao took the opportunity to caution and teach Yu Xuetian.

Yu Xuetian nodded. He had learned his lesson this time.

"Make way, make way!"

Suddenly, a Windspeaker Clan expert squeezed into the crowd with an excited expression. "Something even more astonishing has happened, and it's related to Lin Xun. If you guys don't get out of the way, don’t blame me for the news being delayed!"

Related to Lin Xun?

Even more astonishing news?

The surrounding cultivators immediately gave way, urging the Windspeaker Clan expert to hurry up and release the news.

The Windspeaker Clan expert was very pleased with the result. He leisurely strode forward with his head held high like a king being worshiped by the people.

Members of their clan not only loved to seek out news but also adored attention. It was a sensation that could not be bought with money and greatly satisfied their vanity.

No matter how much the crowd wanted to strangle the Windspeaker Clan expert for making them wait, they could only restrain themselves and helplessly wait for the news to be revealed.

In the end, the Windspeaker Clan expert seemed to have finally gotten his fill and placed a crystalline, snow-white leaf on the trunk of the News Tree.

Omm!

The snow-white leaf seemed to come alive, emitting a misty light that rapidly condensed into a screen.

However, the contents displayed was a line of sinister and bloody words―

"Bounty notice!"

"A bounty for the human cultivator Lin Xun. Anyone who provides clues to his whereabouts will be rewarded a thousand high-grade aeth essences!"

"If captured or killed, bring his head as proof to be rewarded five thousand high-grade aeth essences!"

"The bounty will be valid long-term!"

The contents were simple and straightforward. However, the words flowed with a chilling killing intent that made one’s scalp turn numb.

The sight of the bounty caused the entire place to fall stiflingly silent as all the cultivators’ expressions changed drastically.

The Black Nightmare Sky Dog Clan!

To think that it was a bounty notice from the Black Nightmare Sky Dog Clan! Moreover, the wanted individual was the supreme heaven pride, Lin Xun!

A thousand high-grade aeth essences was a staggering amount that even a Cyclic Derivation expert would willingly sell their services for. In addition, this amount could even buy a King Dao aeth treasure.

As for five thousand high-grade aeth essences...

That was way way more!

"What did Lin Xun do to incur such a drastic response from the Black Nightmare Sky Dog Clan?"

"That’s a clan that specializes in tracking and killing enemies and is well-known for their brutality and savagery. I can’t believe they placed a bounty on Lin Xun. They must have suffered a humongous loss at his hands!"

After a long time passed, the silent atmosphere was finally broken by the sounds of discussion. Everyone was bewildered and shocked. After all, the Black Nightmare Sky Dog Clan was a famous faction that was both hated and feared.

They often acted without regard for anyone else and were cruel and ruthless. As such, they had committed many grave offenses that caused public outrage in the Ancient Wasteland Domain.

Now, they had even posted a bounty on a new rising star who had all the makings of a supreme heaven pride!

"Why? The Black Nightmare Sky Dog Clan is too much. Are they unable to resist exterminating a new rising star of our human race?"

Some cultivators voiced their indignation which immediately incited the rest of the crowd.

Most cultivators deeply loathed the Black Nightmare Sky Dog Clan and instinctively sided with Lin Xun as a result.

"Abominable! Those black dog scumbags are too arrogant. I can’t believe they even issued a bounty on Lin Xun in the entire West Infinity World, who even bullies others like that?"

"Just wait, arrogant and domineering people like them will sooner or later suffer retribution!"

Many cultivators also voiced their indignation one after another.

Even Yu siblings were on Lin Xun's side. After all, the Black Nightmare Sky Dog Clan was the cultivation world's ‘public enemy,’ and was infamous throughout the land!

If it wasn’t for their enormous forces and terrifying foundations, many factions would have long joined together to exterminate them.

"You Windspeaker Clan people as well, how dare you help those black dog bastards spread the bounty notice? Have you guys become their lapdogs?"

Someone angrily pointed at the Windspeaker Clan expert who had posted the bounty notice.

The latter immediately felt wronged and hurriedly said, "We have always adhered to the doctrine of neutrality and only disseminate information. We also never involve ourselves in grudges or quarrels. I’m sure this is something everyone knows."

After a pause, his eyes seemed to swivel in thought as he said, "Please do not be angry. Some of our Windspeaker Clan higher-ups have conducted a meticulous analysis of this information and came up with some amazing deductions which might make you guys happy."

Happy?

The crowd was puzzled.

It was at that moment that an elderly voice rang out from the leaf―

"It was reported that Lin Xun was pursued by experts from the Black Nightmare Sky Dog Clan for an unknown reason shortly after leaving the Flame Capital."

"The Black Nightmare Sky Dog Clan dispatched two Half-Step King experts and a real King expert. In addition, they were supported by almost a hundred elite experts and were led by a Young Master of the Black Nightmare Sky Dog Clan with the title of ‘Thousand Killer,’ Gou Xuxing."

This immediately incited a series of gasps as many cultivators felt their hands and feet turn cold as their hearts rose in their chests.

How terrifying!

A King expert dispatched to hunt down a mere youngster! This alone would already be shocking.

But they had also sent an entire group as well!

The place became deathly silent again and even the air began to feel a little heavy. The cultivators carefully listened, afraid to miss a single detail.

Such shocking and explosive news was certain to cause huge waves in the West Infinity World!

"From the information we’ve gathered, the Black Nightmare Sky Dog Clan’s operation didn’t go smoothly, and they instead suffered a series of setbacks..."

The elderly voice continued the analysis as the cultivators listened with rapt attention.

No one noticed that at one far corner of the crowd, a figure wearing a black cloak whose face was half-covered by a hat had quietly left amidst the analysis.
