My classmates chose martial arts and fantasy, but I chose the prehistoric world.

A large crowd had gathered around the jade tablet bearing the reward.

The disciples, deacons, and even a few elders who had nothing else to do gathered in front of the jade tablet, staring at the newly appeared text with different expressions.

"Zhao Wuji the Black Gun...was he really killed?"

"It's only been a few days? It's been less than a month since the bounty was posted, right?"

"Guest Elder Meng Chuan... I've never heard of this name before?"

"I remember there was a guest elder on Wanfa Island surnamed Meng, who seemed to be the one who deciphered the seventy-seventh stele in the Wanfa Stele Forest... Could it be him?"

"Wanfa Island? Wasn't Wanfa Island destroyed by the Underworld King Sect? Elder Meng is still alive?"

"Not only did he survive, he also killed Zhao Wuji... That's Zhao Wuji! One of the top three ruthless figures among the mid-level Saints of the Underworld Sect!"

"Unbelievable... Absolutely unbelievable..."

Amidst the murmurs, a figure in a green robe walked steadily and calmly from afar.

It was "Meng Chuan".

The crowd automatically parted to make way, and all eyes turned to him.

There was curiosity, scrutiny, admiration, and also skepticism.

Ignoring the stares, Meng Chuan walked straight to the jade tablet, raised his hand and placed it on the surface, taking Zhao Wuji's corpse out of his inner world and sending it into the verification array of the jade tablet.

The jade tablet emitted a soft light, and after a moment, a mechanical voice rang out:

"Verification successful. Target: Black Gun Zhao Wuji, kill confirmed."

"The reward is being distributed—three drops of Myriad Laws Soul Fusion Liquid and one Great Dao Spirit Fusion Pill have been deposited into Elder Meng Chuan's contribution account."

As soon as he finished speaking, another commotion broke out in the crowd.

Three drops of Myriad Laws Soul Fusion Liquid plus one Great Dao Spirit Fusion Pill—this reward is enough to make any mid-level Saint envious.

Meng Chuan felt a surge of joy as he sensed the extra resources within his identity token.

But he remained expressionless, simply nodding slightly before turning and leaving.

Instead of rushing to exchange for those rare elixirs, he returned to his temporary cave dwelling at the headquarters of the Hall of Ten Thousand Laws.

After closing the cave door, Meng Chuan sat down cross-legged and took out Zhao Wuji's storage ring.

He probed into it with his divine sense and scanned it carefully.

Zhao Wuji was quite wealthy—he possessed approximately eight hundred high-grade divine crystals, various refining materials, pills, cultivation manuals, and jade slips, as well as a high-quality defensive treasure.

But for Meng Chuan, who already possessed the Heaven-Opening Axe and fragments of the Chaos Pearl, these things were merely icing on the cake.

What truly interested him was a jade slip in Zhao Wuji's storage ring.

The jade slip contained a set of spear techniques practiced by Zhao Wuji—the "Nine Nether Thirteen Spears".

This marksmanship technique is based on the law of death, and incorporates the application techniques of the laws of darkness and slaughter, making it extremely powerful.

Zhao Wuji's ability to rank among the top saints in the Underworld Sect is largely due to this spear technique.

Although Meng Chuan did not use a spear, understanding the techniques of force application and the principles of this spear technique supplemented his combat experience.

After carefully putting away the jade slip, Meng Chuan checked the other items to make sure nothing was missing before finally putting away the storage ring.

Then, he took out his identity token and probed his contribution account with his divine sense.

Three drops of the Myriad Laws Soul-Melting Liquid, one Great Dao Spirit-Melting Pill.

Meng Chuan did not immediately use these rare and precious medicines.

He has now integrated five laws, but is still some distance from integrating the sixth. Using the powerful elixir rashly could destabilize his foundation.

He planned to first select the sixth law, comprehend it to perfection, and then consider taking these great medicines to help him integrate the sixth perfect law.

In addition-

He has other things to do now.

He stood up, walked out of the cave, and headed back towards the council hall.

There are still fourteen names on the bounty list.

"Next..."

"Next."

……

one year later.

In the coastal area, there is a medium-sized island controlled by the Underworld Sect—Snake Coil Island.

late at night.

The council hall in the center of Snake Coil Island was brightly lit.

A middle-aged man with a sinister face sat in the main seat, holding a glass of blood-red liquid in his hand, which he gently swirled.

He was thin and wore a black robe embroidered with scorpion patterns, exuding a chilling aura.

It was the second-ranked person on the Underworld Sect's bounty list—

Poisonous Scorpion, Liu Rushi!

"That good-for-nothing Zhao Wuji was actually killed by an unknown guest elder of the Myriad Laws Hall..."

Liu Rushi took a sip of wine, sneered, "I've always considered him a competitor, how shameful."

Below, a subordinate of the Underworld Sect cautiously spoke up: "Lord Liu, Meng Chuan was able to kill Zhao Wuji, which shows that his strength should not be underestimated. Do you think... we should request reinforcements from headquarters?"

"reinforce?"

Liu Rushi put down her wine cup, glanced at her subordinate, and said, "A mere mid-level sage dares to ask me to request reinforcements?"

He stood up, walked to the window with his hands behind his back, gazed at the dark night sky outside, and said softly, "He'd better not come looking for me. If he does..."

A cruel smile curled at the corner of his lips. "I'll show him what true despair is."

Liu Rushi had barely finished speaking—

boom!!!

The roof of the council hall suddenly exploded!

A figure in a green robe descended from the sky, carrying an unparalleled pressure, and crashed straight down towards Liu Rushi!

Liu Rushi reacted extremely quickly. The moment the roof exploded, his body turned into a black shadow and retreated dozens of feet backward!

At the same time, he raised his hands, and two poisoned daggers flew out of his hands, turning into two streams of dark green light, which pierced straight at the figure in the green robe!

However, when the two poisoned daggers flew to within three feet of the figure in the green robe, they were blocked by an invisible spatial barrier and bounced away with two clangs!

"What?!"

Liu Rushi's pupils contracted, and a strong sense of alarm went through her mind!

Without hesitation, he formed a hand seal, and a black poisonous mist erupted from his body, instantly filling the entire council hall!

The poisonous mist contained the power of the laws of toxicity and corrosion. Even a mid-level saint of the same level would lose his fighting ability in a short time if he inhaled a single breath of it!

However, the figure in the green robe seemed completely unaffected, passing straight through the poisonous fog and appearing in front of Liu Rushi!

A fist rapidly magnified in Liu Rushi's vision!

Liu Rushi had no time to dodge, so she could only cross her arms and block in front of her, while simultaneously activating all the power of the laws in her body to condense a thick defensive barrier in front of her!

boom--!!

The fist slammed into the defensive barrier, producing a deafening roar!

The defensive barrier trembled violently, and cracks appeared on its surface!

Liu Rushi felt a sudden numbness in her arms, and was so shaken by the terrifying force that she staggered backward, her feet carving two deep furrows in the ground!
