."Li Guan now was dumbfounded, he hadn't expected that after just sending off the son of a Minister of Personnel, he would immediately encounter another young lord.These backgrounds are all impressive...Bai Li Xingkong pressed down the anger in his heart, his expression grim: "I've paid the money, shouldn't you let him go"

"Rest assured, I've always put my reputation first. I keep my word. If there's a price increase, it won't be this time, but you'll have to wait a little longer."

The man in black finished speaking and reached out to take Baili Hongjun's storage ring. He seemed unsatisfied, as if he wanted more.

"This outfit looks pretty good."

He proceeded to strip all of Bai Li Hongjun's clothing, leaving him in only his trousers.

"Uh..."

Everyone was dumbfounded. What kind of robber is this He's too shameless, isn't he

After receiving fifty top-grade spirit stones from someone, he even dared to strip them.

"What on earth is this guy trying to do Is he trying to get the entire Imperial family of Saint Dragon Empire killed"

"This is the crown prince, publicly humiliated like this. Doesn't this smack of slapping the face of the Holy Dragon Empire royal family"

"It's over, it's over. The Holy Dragon Empire royal family can't hold their heads up this time. Is there anything more humiliating than this..."

Bai Li Xing Kong's lungs were about to explode with anger. If it wasn't for Bai Li Hong Jun still being in the other party's hands, he would have slapped this guy to death long ago.

"My lord, are you being too much"

His voice was filled with uncontainable murderous intent.

"What's wrong with that As the saying goes, 'Love your job.' Since you're a bandit, you might as well do it thoroughly!"

The Blackguard seemed utterly indifferent. He stuffed the stolen goods into his bag, then raised his right leg and kicked Bai Li Hongjun's ample buttocks with a resounding thud, sending him flying through the air.

After finishing all of this, he disappeared in a flash and ran back the other way.

As Bai Li Xing reached out, he caught Bai Li Hong Jun. Immediately, a murderous intent surged within him.

"Get your hands on him! Grab that bastard!"

After finishing his words, he flung the prince to a subordinate beside him and himself darted forward like lightning.

Meanwhile, the palace experts who had been lying in wait immediately surged forward. Each one jostled and scrambled, afraid that they would miss out on this credit.

But the black-clad man was also extremely fast, leaping from the city wall and fleeing towards the distance.

"Want to run away again"

As a peak powerhouse of the Great Vehicle, Bai Li Xingkong's speed was astonishing. In just a few breaths, he closed the distance with the man in black.

"Leave me alone!"

Although he was seething with rage and longed to tear the man before him limb from limb, he held back. For the sake of uncovering whether there were others behind this, he didn't strike a killing blow. Instead, two sharp bursts of ki energy shot out from his fingertips, aimed directly at the black-clad man's legs.

According to his thinking, as long as he crippled this person's legs, they would naturally be unable to escape.

But unexpectedly, two streaks of wind struck the black robe, creating two holes before vanishing without a trace. The robed figure continued to dash forward, seemingly unaffected.

"Uh... what's going on"

Bai Li xing was stunned for a moment. With his cultivation, these two finger winds were enough to pierce gold and shatter stone, absolutely not something the person in front of him could withstand.

The problem is, it clearly hit them, but they weren't affected at all. What's going on

Right as he was caught off guard, the figure in black robes darted into a nearby grove of trees and vanished.

And just then, a multitude of royal powerhouses also converged, instantly completely encircling this small grove.

"Find him! I want that boy caught!"

Bai Li Xing Kong rushed forward first, but his divine sense swept across the entire forest dozens of times, yet he still couldn't find a trace of the other party.

The Grand Elder, accompanied by royal experts, stormed directly into the forest, but came up empty-handed as well.

"Your Highness, the boy is gone."

The Elder was also dumbfounded. Logically speaking, under the watchful eyes of many masters, that person would be unable to escape. But he just vanished, leaving no trace whatsoever.

"Damn it!"

Bai Li Xing Kong was almost driven mad, if this guy really escaped, what face would the imperial family of Sheng Long Empire have in the future

"Burn this forest to the ground, then dig three feet deep! I want that guy found no matter what!"

After he finished speaking, the royal experts emerged from the forest. Then several fireballs were thrown out, instantly igniting a raging inferno.

This grove of trees wasn't particularly large or small, but once ignited, the raging inferno engulfed the sky, casting a scorching heat that forced onlookers to retreat.

Bai Li walked for a hundred miles, his eyes fixed on the raging inferno. The moment the cloaked figure emerged, he would seize him instantly.

It turned out he was overthinking it. When the fire died down, leaving behind a field of charred remains, there wasn't a single person in sight.

The onlookers watched with bated breath, expecting the man to be captured after handing over the prince. However, he simply vanished without a trace.

"Damn it, where the hell did he go!"

Unexpectedly, he still couldn't find anyone. Baili Xingkong became increasingly furious. Addressing the crowd, he said, "On behalf of the imperial family of the Shenglong Empire, if any of you can find that kid just now, we are willing to offer one hundred million high-grade spirit stones as a reward. We will definitely keep our word!"

He could see clearly now that relying on the royal court to find the masked man at this point was hopeless.

Only a bounty can be offered publicly, hoping that there are experts present who can bring out the hidden person.

As the saying goes, where there is great reward, there are brave men. With a bounty of one hundred million top-grade spirit stones on offer, the scene immediately erupted in excitement.

Those who were originally there watching the drama rushed forward, vying with each other, afraid of missing this good opportunity.

These tens of thousands of people naturally included various talented individuals, each displaying their unique abilities.

Some excel at tracking, leaving no stone unturned in their search for clues.

Some took out their tamed spirit beasts, searching for the scent of the black-clad men here.

Some people have no special skills, so they simply start digging with brute force.

Even though tens of thousands of people worked for two hours straight, turning over the scorched earth under the grove, they didn't find a single person.

The previous men in black had vanished as if they were never there, leaving not a trace.

The Great Elder said: “Your Highness, that kid seems to have run away.”

Bai Li Xingkong's expression was frighteningly grim. He didn't need others to tell him; he could see for himself that the possibility of finding anyone at this point was almost nonexistent.

But no matter how hard he tried, he couldn't figure out how that person managed to escape the siege of so many powerful Mahayana cultivators.

"Who is that guy Could he really be from the Demon Sect" said the Second Elder.

Elder Three shook his head. "Unlikely, nobody would announce themselves like that. That kid is hiding his identity, covering himself up tight."

The fourth elder followed up, "That's right, if it really is the Demon Sect's Grand Elder, his cultivation would be at least at the peak of Great Ascension. How could he possibly be so weak"

That guy is clearly trying to pass the buck, using the Demon Gate to hide his identity.

In any case, that person's cultivation level was extremely strange.

Bai Li Xing Kong said, "This king clearly struck his legs, but the fellow was completely unaffected. It seems his cultivation is deep, probably on par with mine."

The Grand Elder wore a contemplative expression: "This isn't easy to say. Perhaps he practices some kind of secret technique, or uses other means."

If he really had the cultivation of a Mahayana peak, he wouldn't be so easily surrounded by us.

"That makes sense!"

As he walked a hundred miles, Bai Li's heart stirred. The other party's escape speed was indeed much slower than his own, so they shouldn't be at the peak of Da Cheng cultivation.

He turned his head to look at Bai Li Chengye beside him: "Did you have someone keep an eye on that Ye kid Has there been any movement over there"I guarantee that I'll make Bai Li Xingkuo lose his pants."After saying that, he waved goodbye to Xiaoqing and said, "Let's go!"Two people left the inn and strolled to yesterday's market stall location...
