Chapter 91

The next day, the outer sect of the Starry Sky Sect became bustling with activity.

In November, the three days of the Devil, as people had expected, began ahead of schedule with the announcement of a hunt for Wang Chen at midnight. However, these three days of the Devil seemed different from the past, with the protagonist becoming the confrontation between Wang Chen and Zi Ye. As for the others, it seemed they had entered a period of rest, with the frequency of battles decreasing significantly.

"Hey, have you heard? Wang Chen defeated another one of Zi Ye's people!"

"Really? That would be the third one, right!"

"I think this time Zi Ye has met his match. With consecutive failures, I wonder how they will end this!"

"Let's go, I heard he appeared in the western hunting ground!"

In the valley, voices of discussion could be heard again.

In the past, the first thing people would do upon meeting was to plunder, but today, it was rare to see these people gather and calmly discuss the matter.

Such a situation had already occurred several times in the morning. Each time Wang Chen appeared, the news would spread to every corner almost immediately.

Zi Ye indeed carried out the announcement they had issued the night before, starting the hunt for Wang Chen.

In just one morning, there had already been three encounters, but unfortunately, Zi Ye's luck seemed to be bad. All three encounters ended in failure, and as a result, Wang Chen's reputation soared. He consecutively defeated six members of Zi Ye, plundering six Starry Pearls.

"Not necessarily, Zi Ye's strength is not something Wang Chen can match!" Some people who were on good terms with Zi Ye began to protest.

"Yeah, Luo Sen and the others haven't even joined in yet. I wonder what they're thinking. Wang Chen, though at the ninth stage of Body Tempering, is even beyond Bai Chen's ability to handle. Does Zi Ye really think the people below can take him down?"

"Just now, we received news that Kong Jie has already set out. I wonder if he will succeed this time!"

Discussions were widespread, and every corner of the Yin Feng Valley where there were members of the Starry Sky Sect was buzzing with such talk.

"Let's go to the west, I heard he appeared there!" Immediately, several people quickly ran toward the west.

With the battle between Wang Chen and Zi Ye fully underway, everyone's interest had shifted entirely to this.

Especially the older members, who seemed to have found that sense of excitement again.

At the beginning of the year, there was once a large-scale team hunt, when three major teams joined forces to pursue a madman. That battle was intense and lasted a whole month. In the end, the madman, who had stayed in the top ten of the Starry Sky List for eight months, was defeated and lost his chance to enter the inner sect at a critical moment.

Now, what about Wang Chen? Many people couldn't help but be curious. So whenever Wang Chen appeared and engaged in battle with Zi Ye, it would inevitably draw a large crowd, all eager to see the spectacle.

Of course, there were also those with ulterior motives, hoping to pick up some small benefits.

For example, if Wang Chen failed or someone else was caught, they would take the opportunity to plunder. This was the most dangerous part of the hunt. If Wang Chen failed and was injured, he would surely become a target for others to kick while he was down, until all his Starry Pearls were taken.

Back then, the madman suffered greatly because of this.

Of course, the audience wouldn't remain quiet either. There would inevitably be some plundering battles among them, after all, such a concentrated gathering of people was rare.

"Hehe, kid, don't blame me. Who made you offend Zi Ye? I told you not to come out, but you still did. Since you're going to be found anyway, why not leave this benefit to me? I'll give you a few Starry Pearls as compensation later, so you'll suffer less. Isn't that enough for a brother?" In the western part of the Yin Feng Valley, a fat figure stood in an open area, a cunning smile on his face.

This person was Xiang Qiankan. Every time Wang Chen appeared, the news would be spread immediately, and he was the one responsible for it.

In the entire Starry Sky Sect, perhaps only he had the ability to spread news like this.

He weighed the heavy bag filled with Starry Pearls in his hand, his eyes shining brightly, and his mouth almost reaching his ears.

Such a lively scene was rare. In recent years, such large-scale team hunts had only happened three times. The first time, he didn't manage to catch up, as he had just entered the Starry Sky Sect. The second time, during the hunt for the madman, he made a substantial profit by selling information that month.

That month, he first entered the top ten of the Starry Sky List and also established his reputation for selling information.

Tasting the sweetness, Xiang Qiankan naturally wouldn't miss this opportunity.

He originally thought Wang Chen would follow his advice and not appear in the free zone for a few days. Who knew he would still show up today.

In this situation, Xiang Qiankan could only resort to his old trade and betray Wang Chen. In his view, at least he could make a substantial profit and give the kid a little compensation, achieving a win-win outcome.

"Hehe, kid, don't disappoint me. Hold on, I believe in you. I'll share more of the spoils with you later!" Thinking this, Xiang Qiankan chuckled to himself, put away the bag of Starry Pearls, and with surprising agility for his fat body, quickly moved forward.

As long as Wang Chen could hold on for another day, even half a day, he would make a substantial profit.

Especially now, with Wang Chen consecutively defeating the people Zi Ye sent to hunt him, making Zi Ye angry and raising the price, this was a great opportunity to earn Starry Pearls.

...

"Does Zi Ye really think they can deal with others relying on those small fry? How long can you remain arrogant? Wang Chen, hehe, interesting. How many more surprises can you bring me? I hope you don't get taken down by Zi Ye's people too quickly!" In a secluded valley, a man looked up at the sky, a cold smile on his face, muttering to himself.

In front of him lay the corpse of a beast the size of a small mountain. If someone were there, they would be surprised to find that this beast was a high-level second-stage Fiery Beast, equivalent to a sixth-stage True Martial practitioner.

After a moment, the man collected the materials from the Fiery Beast, wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth, and smiled, looking toward the western hunting ground of the Yin Feng Valley.

He suddenly exerted his strength, moving like a gust of wind toward that direction.

...

"Xin'er, Zilan, there's new news! Wang Chen defeated the fourth wave of people sent to intercept him. Zi Ye has suffered a setback this time! Ha, so far, out of the thirteen ninth-stage Body Tempering members they sent to hunt Wang Chen, eight have failed. I heard Kong Jie has personally set out!" In another part of the Yin Feng Valley, Ke'er, with a joyful smile, told Liu Xin and Zilan.

As one of the three major teams, they had always been in fierce competition with Zi Ye, and there had been many conflicts and contradictions.

Now that Zi Ye was suffering, they were naturally the happiest to see it. So, Ke'er was quite gleeful.

"Four waves? Hehe, it seems Wang Chen is really strong. Zi Ye will probably have to get serious this time. They can't afford to lose face like this!" Hearing Ke'er's words, Zilan's eyes lit up, and she said with interest.

"A bunch of idiots, really think they can take down Wang Chen with those ninth-stage Body Tempering people? If that were the case, Bai Chen wouldn't have sought them out. Do they really think Wang Chen could have entered the top twenty with just ordinary ninth-stage Body Tempering strength, and now has the capital to compete for the top ten?" Liu Xin, standing nearby, said with a cold smile, though there was a hint of worry in her eyes.

"Hehe, Xin'er, Zilan, should we go and see?" Ke'er, curious, suggested, as such intense hunts were rare to witness.

"Sure, let's go and see!" Hearing Ke'er's words, Liu Xin nodded in agreement.

Zilan didn't object either, and the three of them set off toward the western part of the Yin Feng Valley.
