Chapter 73

At this moment, Huang Yu was still unaware that the Zhongyuan Sword Sect had already issued a bounty on him.

The secret technique, the "Bone-Attached Leech," had been temporarily suppressed, so he heaved a sigh of relief, no longer worrying about being hunted down by experts of the Life and Death Realm. It was as if a heavy burden had been lifted from his heart.

Little did he know, the caster of the "Bone-Attached Leech" had no time to deal with him personally at the moment.

...

As Huang Yu made his way toward the Kaiyuan Sect, the Zhongyuan Sword Sect had already discovered his whereabouts and was preparing to capture him to complete the sect's mission. This was an S-rank mission, and not just ordinary inner disciples, but even those at the peak of the Essence Spirit Realm and even the Thunder Tribulation Realm had come out.

"I laugh with satisfaction, I laugh with satisfaction..."

Huang Yu hummed a tune as he walked, feeling very relaxed. He had resolved some of his previous troubles and felt extremely relieved.

"Master, be careful. The situation is not as optimistic as you think," Lulu said.

"What do you mean?" Huang Yu was taken aback and stopped in his tracks.

"It means you're about to have some trouble," Lulu replied.

"Trouble? Powerful mystic beasts ahead? Or bandits and marauders?"

"People from the Zhongyuan Sword Sect," Lulu said.

"Them?" Huang Yu's face instantly changed. "Has my identity been exposed? Or did the 'Bone-Attached Leech' not get completely blocked?"

"Ask one of the Zhongyuan Sword Sect members, and you'll know," Lulu said. "I don't know much, just the general situation. If it weren't a matter of life and death for you, I wouldn't have gotten this information."

"Alright, I'll see what's going on," Huang Yu nodded, becoming more cautious. He was no longer as relaxed and carefree as before.

After Huang Yu arrived at a small town, he found that many people had gathered there. What surprised Huang Yu was that the disciples of the Zhongyuan Sword Sect seemed to be searching for someone, holding portraits in their hands. They looked familiar. Upon closer inspection, my goodness, wasn't this the appearance he had after altering his face?

It seemed they were looking for him. Had his identity been exposed?

If it weren't for Lulu's reminder, he would have been caught off guard. He really hadn't expected this.

"Lulu, didn't I already kill Liu Sanbian and Liu Wu? How did my identity still get exposed?" Huang Yu asked helplessly.

"It must have been a Life and Death Realm expert who used a secret technique to deduce it," Lulu said.

"Deduced? Then... then my identity is exposed?"

"Not exactly. They can only deduce that you killed Liu Sanbian, but they don't know your true identity," Lulu explained.

"Looks like I need to change my identity," Huang Yu slapped his head. He hadn't thought of this. It seemed that since he came to this world and obtained the All-Powerful Cultivation System, his brain wasn't working as well as it should. After all, he was a young man of the new century, influenced by modern knowledge. How could he rely on Lulu for everything? That would be too embarrassing, lacking any initiative. What if Lulu wasn't around? He would be in a dead end.

Thinking about this, Huang Yu made up his mind to solve problems on his own as much as possible without asking Lulu.

Looking at the Zhongyuan Sword Sect disciples who were discussing, Huang Yu decided to take care of these people. As for changing his appearance, he wasn't in a hurry. After all, this was also a form of training. Besides, he hadn't gained any experience points for a long time. These people were like meat delivered to his door; there was no reason not to take them.

...

...

"According to the report, that kid should be here. Why can't we find him?"

"That kid dared to kill Liu Sanbian, so he must have some skills. We can't be careless. Besides, this is an S-rank mission. If it were easy to complete, it wouldn't be rated S. You're being too naive. That kid may appear to be only at the Human Infant Realm, but I'm sure he's not that simple," a square-faced youth said with a slightly serious tone. "One mistake, and we might end up losing more than we gain."

"Hmph, Gao Yu, don't boost their morale and undermine your own. I think you're trying to scare us so you can act alone and claim all the benefits," another youth with a pockmarked face and wearing a black vest said discontentedly.

"Are you looking for death, Pockmark?" Gao Yu roared, his imposing aura surging toward the pockmarked youth.

"Fight if you want to, Feather, I've put up with you for too long," the pockmarked youth said angrily, instantly drawing his long sword and pointing it at Gao Yu. "Others may fear you, but I don't. Don't think you're the only one at the Essence Spirit Realm. I've broken through too."

"Good, good, good. I see why you're so bold today, Pockmark. You've broken through," Gao Yu laughed in anger. He had been at the Essence Spirit Realm for a long time, while Pockmark had just broken through. The gap between them was significant.

"Senior Brothers, calm down. If you fight, it will only benefit the other academies," a handsome youth quickly stepped in, trying to mediate.

"Right, right. If we fight, our Wind Academy will suffer," another disciple added.

"Little Junior Brother, move aside. I'm going to teach him a lesson today," Gao Yu said.

"I'm not afraid of you," Pockmark didn't back down.

These people were all disciples of the Wind Academy of the Zhongyuan Sword Sect. Among them, Gao Yu was the strongest, having reached the Essence Spirit Realm a year ago. Pockmark, Zhao Ying, was the second strongest, having broken through to the Essence Spirit Realm just a month ago.

These two had always been at odds. Even before they became inner disciples, they had a grudge against each other, always clashing. It wasn't until Gao Yu broke through to the Essence Spirit Realm that he gained the upper hand over Pockmark, bringing some peace to the Wind Academy.

"Let's see who is the strongest new inner disciple of the Wind Academy." Zhao Ying moved, his long sword transforming into a shadow, thrusting toward Gao Yu. The sword technique was like a lotus blooming, mysterious and wondrous.

Gao Yu didn't back down either. He coldly snorted, his long sword trembling and transforming into a rainbow, piercing through Zhao Ying's lotus sword qi.

Huang Yu watched the two of them from a distance. He didn't know much about the Zhongyuan Sword Sect, but he was clear that their sword techniques were extremely powerful. The Zhongyuan Sword Sect had seven major sword academies, and the Wind Academy was one of them.

"Indeed powerful. The Zhongyuan Sword Sect lives up to its reputation."

In a short time, Gao Yu and Zhao Ying had already exchanged nearly a hundred moves. Their sword techniques were graceful and mysterious, captivating Huang Yu. The Golden Ancient Pupil Technique activated unconsciously, trying to memorize these sword techniques.
