Chapter 443: Chapter 149: Hunting the Acupoint Realm

The Cyan Snake rolled her eyes and said, "It’s nothing like that. The person I saw was a woman, I’m absolutely certain of it... Don’t you dare tarnish his good name!"

"Wait..." Cao Yan was the first to snap out of it, not knowing whether to laugh or cry. "Why are we talking about all this nonsense... Sister Bai, how is Chu Fan doing? Where is he? Hurry up and tell us!"

Even Cao Yan, who had remained composed while being pursued earlier, was now in a complete panic.

"Judging by Xiaobai’s expression, he must be fine." Cao Feng breathed a sigh of relief.

The Cyan Snake then cleared her throat and recounted the entire story from beginning to end.

She described everything, from Chu Fan leaving the city to cultivate, to encountering the pursuit of Mo Yunzi, and finally to how he turned defeat into victory and subjugated the Witch...

A more senior Demon Suppression Guard cried out in shock, "I know of that Mo Yunzi! She’s a disciple of the Yin Demon Sect, known for her vicious methods, and she’s at the Fifth Level of the Divine Power Realm! She was... subjugated by Chu Fan? Are you certain it was Mo Yunzi?"

"How would I recognize any Mo Yunzi?" The Cyan Snake waved her hand. "Chu Fan was the one who told me her name."

The Demon Suppression Guard quickly asked for Mo Yunzi’s description.

The Cyan Snake then described Mo Yunzi’s appearance and build in detail.

After listening, the group of Demon Suppression Guards looked at one another, all sucking in a sharp breath.

’It really was that Witch, Mo Yunzi?’

’An expert at the Fifth Level of the Divine Power Realm went to hunt down Chu Fan, only to be subjugated by him instead?’

’This was simply unimaginable!’

Before Chu Fan arrived in Qing Province, they had heard the rumors about him slaying multiple Divine Power Realm experts in Cyan Yang City.

But they had all dismissed such rumors as gross exaggerations.

After all, stories tend to get distorted as they’re passed from person to person; they change over time.

It was plausible for a junior in the early Spirit Awakening Realm, relying on a Divine Weapon, to hold his own for a short while against an expert in the Early Stage of the Divine Power Realm.

But the Primordial Qi of someone in the Spirit Awakening Realm was nowhere near enough to power a Magical Treasure for a long time. Killing an expert in the Late Stage of the Divine Power Realm was nigh impossible.

As for crippling and then subjugating a Demon Dao master at the Fifth Level of the Divine Power Realm—that was utterly inconceivable, completely beyond their comprehension!

"Sister Bai, please continue," Cao Yan said, suppressing his shock and urging the Cyan Snake to go on.

The Cyan Snake continued, saying she had told Chu Fan that an expert at the Second Heaven of the Acupoint Realm was hunting Baili Bing, and she had urged him to return to Qing Province City at once.

However, Chu Fan didn’t seem concerned and said he wanted to continue cultivating outside for a while longer.

Upon hearing this, several of the Demon Suppression Guards slapped their thighs in agitation.

"How foolish! He must not understand how formidable the Acupoint Realm is!"

"That Mo Daozi is incredibly ferocious! The Demon Suppression Bureau and the Six Gates have been after him for some time now, and they still haven’t been able to catch him!"

Baili Bing glanced at those few Demon Suppression Guards, a look of guilt on her face.

’How could Chu Fan not know how formidable the Acupoint Realm is?’

’Back then, she, an expert at the First Heaven of the Acupoint Realm, had pursued Chu Fan for half a day without catching him. In the end, Chu Fan had actually managed to break through mid-escape, and with a massive boost in speed, he turned around and chased her until she was in a sorry state.’

’Still, Baili Bing felt that Chu Fan was indeed being too arrogant this time.’

’With Chu Fan’s Body Technique, it was true that she, at the First Heaven of the Acupoint Realm, would have a hard time stopping him.’

’But the man hunting her was at the Second Heaven of the Acupoint Realm! And his Martial Arts were overwhelmingly powerful!’

’Furthermore, he had two Demon Puppets with him, each comparable in strength to the Second Heaven of the Acupoint Realm!’

’Could it be that the Cyan Snake didn’t tell Chu Fan these details?’

Just as she was about to speak, a Demon Suppression Guard asked the question for her: "Didn’t you tell him that the person hunting Baili Bing is at the Second Heaven of the Acupoint Realm and has two Demon Puppets, each with strength comparable to that level?"

"I did..." the Cyan Snake replied. "Even if I hadn’t, he would have known, because that man is Mo Yunzi’s senior brother. But he said he has a way to handle it and told us not to worry."

Everyone fell silent.

Those who were familiar with Chu Fan, such as Cao Feng and Li Qingxue, actually calmed down after the initial shock.

Although they were still worried, they knew Chu Fan’s personality well.

Chu Fan sometimes acted crazily, even a bit unhinged, but he was actually very steady and rarely did things he wasn’t confident about.

Since he said he had a way to deal with it, he must truly have a sufficient Bottom Card.

But the group of Demon Suppression Guards from the Demon Suppression Bureau furrowed their brows and sighed repeatedly.

Some said Chu Fan was young and reckless, unaware of how formidable the Acupoint Realm was, and had grown careless, thinking it was only slightly stronger than the Fifth Level of the Divine Power Realm.

Others guessed that Chu Fan might possess some powerful Exotic Treasure, which was why he was so fearless.

But someone immediately refuted this, arguing that even if he had an Exotic Treasure, his Spirit Awakening Realm cultivation would make it difficult to activate. How could he possibly stand against an expert at the Second Heaven of the Acupoint Realm?

At this moment, the previously silent Demon Suppression Captain, Li Mubai, spoke in a deep voice.

He said, "The person subjugated by Chu Fan is Mo Yunzi of the Yin Demon Sect, and the one hunting Baili Bing is her senior brother, Mo Daozi."

"Mo Yunzi is one thing. Though she’s also a famous Witch, she isn’t on the Demon Suppression Bureau’s blacklist. But that Mo Daozi is bloodthirsty by nature and has committed countless evil deeds. He has long been on the bounty lists of both our Demon Suppression Bureau and the Six Gates!"

Hearing this, the Cyan Snake suddenly perked up, her eyes shining. "Mo Daozi is on a bounty list? How much is the reward?"

"..." Li Mubai was speechless.

He had meant to emphasize Mo Daozi’s terrifying strength.

But the Cyan Snake’s attention was fixed on the bounty...

Li Mubai said slowly, "Fifty thousand taels of silver, ten Spirit Jades, and a three-hundred-year-old Four-Hearted Lotus."

The moment he spoke, everyone in the room was stunned!

While fifty thousand taels of silver was a large sum, the cultivators present weren’t particularly moved.

But ten Spirit Jades and a three-hundred-year-old Four-Hearted Lotus... a reward like that would make even Acupoint Realm experts drool with greed!

’No, no, we’re all getting sidetracked by the Cyan Snake...’
