Imperial God Emperor

Chapter 741 - Good news

“How is that possible? This... how could he be so strong? Didn't they say he's a nobody from a lower domain? He broke through the formation!”

“Don't let him escape... chase after him!”

“Ridiculous, he dares to resist the arrest.”

“Ye Qingyu, stop, absconding is a serious crime!”

Roars of anger reverberated throughout the void.

But Ye Qingyu’s figure did not stop at all, vanishing instantly without a trace.

The dozens of black-robed experts bellowed repeatedly, anxious and furious, and then turned into masses of Black Demon qi and whizzed through the Black Demon qi-filled Void like bolts of lightning in the direction where Ye Qingyu had disappeared.

……

“Damn it, the ghost really does not go away.”

Ye Qingyu walked across the wilderness like a ghost, carefully concealing his tracks.

It had been an hour since he ran into the Black Demon Race's arrest team.

During this hour, Ye Qingyu was spotted five times by other members of the Black Demon arrest team and was surrounded three times.

In addition to this, there were a number of times he was chased by experts after the bounty from the Domain Alliance, which was more frequent than the Black Demon arrest team. Ye Qingyu was in a constant state of fatigue, and sometimes in order to avoid these people, had to change his route. As a result, even after an entire hour later, he still had not yet entered the 17th district of the Black Demon Abyss.

“Why was I discovered?”

This was one of the most confusing questions that troubled Ye Qingyu.

In the past hour, he had changed his appearance at least thirty times——not only his appearance, he also deliberately changed his figure, tone of speaking, way of walking, clothing and so on. Ye Qingyu had even mixed into a group of demon experts, and grew sharp teeth and claws, in order to disguise himself as part of the Demon Race...

But it didn't work.

No matter what the changes were, the crazy hunters easily found him within an hour.

Whether it was the arrest team composed of the black-robed experts, or the crazy ‘bounty hunters’, they all seemed to have some sort of special method to very quickly track down Ye Qingyu within a certain range. The capture process was increasingly dangerous than it was before. But because Ye Qingyu had scruples about attacking, he did not kill nor wounded anyone at all.

During a battle among experts, a moment of kindness may lead to a huge difference in the outcome.

Ye Qingyu's mercy did not make the hunters more rational. Instead, they were absolutely more unrestrained.

It was precisely because of this that Ye Qingyu, in the course of two escapes, had sustained substantial injuries.

After another hour.

The declining wilderness valley near the entrance of the 17th district.

This was a small valley with low lying ground, formed from the erosion of the underground river. The terrain in the valley was odd, and from afar resembled a labyrinth of mud blocks. The ceiling of the labyrinth was shrouded in thick black fog all year round.

Ye Qingyu, who was evading the pursuit of people, mistakenly walked into the valley.

After a careful investigation and confirming that there were no other creatures around and no signs that experts had come, he set up a defensive formation within ten meters of him before he seated himself down on a black boulder to take a break.

He changed his appearance to that of an old man, looking incomparably thin and dripping with blood all over. His limbs and back were marked with several bone-deep arrow scars, and his entire robe was blood-drenched. He looked extremely miserable.

Because of the three forces in Ye Qingyu's body, his injuries recovered very slowly, whether it was the injury sustained in his battle against Jiang Xioahan, or the ones suffered in the past two hours. As a result, Ye Qingyu looked very miserable, like a prisoner who had escaped from the execution site.

“Damn, those things are really ruthless.”

Ye Qingyu initiated changes in his muscles and bones, restoring them to their original appearance.

He understood why so many hunters were frantically trying to chase after him.

As a nobody from a lower domain, without any impressive successes nor any cultivation base, backer and background, to suddenly appear in the Domain Alliance's list of wanted criminals and also be ranked at the top twenty, in the eyes of many other forces he was simply a piece of fatty meat.

A piece of fatty meat that could be easily eaten by anyone.

Everyone wanted to eat this fatty meat, and were afraid that others would beat them to it, so they became even frantic.

“I must think of a way to get rid of these crazy pursuers.”

After several moments, Ye Qingyu slowly opened his eyes.

He was very clear that, if these pursuers continued to interfere, even if they did not kill him, he would be annoyed to death and have no time and energy to find the Black Demon Herb to complete the assessment task.

“I wonder whether these hunters and the Black Demon Race's arrest team use the same method to discover my tracks?”

Ye Qinyu knitted his brows in deep thought.

It was definitely not due to his physical appearance and other factors, because he had already considered those.

He sat down on a rock, and after an hour finally made a speculation.

“They must have sensed my whereabouts from the fluctuation of yuan qi. Different martial artists, even if they cultivate yuan qi of the same attributes and use the same cultivation techniques, the fluctuation of their yuan qi would be absolutely different. In theory, due to the difference in aptitude, level of cultivation, cultivation habits and other reasons, every martial artist's fluctuation of yuan qi would be unique. I have revealed my strength in Sunrise City, as well as the battle of Clear River Domain. It is very simple for the Domain Alliance to want to get my fluctuation of yuan qi...”

With this thought, Ye Qingyu's eyes lit up.

If that's the case... he thought and decided to seal his yuan qi.

Because of the purple, green and silver, the three powers, the majority of yuan qi in Ye Qingyu's body had been solidified, but still was not completely sealed. His limbs, bones and meridians still contained solidified yuan qi, which allowed the outside world to perceive his aura.

Reverse mantra.

Ye Qingyu endured the sharp pain that felt as if his body was being tear apart, and forcibly activated the semi-solidified yuan qi into the barren dantian world, and then eventually into the yuan qi ocean, and completely sealed in the yuan qi ocean. Even the brilliance on the Yuan Qi True Self Doppelganger was instantly gone.

This was self-sealing.

Once a martial artist initiates self-sealing, his yuan qi cultivation would disappear completely.

With the yuan qi gone, naturally there would be no fluctuation of yuan qi.

But this would also make a peerless expert become a strong ordinary person. After all, the inner yuan was a martial artist's strongest force which they cultivated during their lifetime, as well as the foundation of formation martial arts.

But Ye Qingyu did not have to worry about that.

This was because he also had [Supreme Ice Flame], Power of Wind and Chaotic Thunder Liquid, the three forces. No matter which, each was enough to prevent the strength of Ye Qingyu from declining.

“That's it, I hope my guess is right.”

Ye Qingyu drew a long breath then walked out of the rocky forest.

This time he changed into a big-eyed and thick-browed young man. He did not do too much to disguise himself this time. He simply looked calm and was neither fast nor slow. He did not cover his traces as he continue into the 17th district of the Black Demon Abyss.

……

At the edge of a cliff in the wilderness.

A figure that had concealed his aura and yuan qi, and had completely integrated with the Void produced a cold hum.

“What's going on? The aura of the little bastard is gone... Has he been killed? How could he die so easily? It's not good news. Only when he's alive, he's more valuable to me...”

This figure was namely Huang Tayun.

After the battle in the [Fallen God Abyss], the news of Jiang Xiaohan had completely shocked Huang Tayun. He had secretly been following Ye Qingyu, and from time to time had posted his whereabouts on the reward list.

But just now, he was surprised to find that Ye Qingyu's aura had disappeared.

……

Ye Qingyu revealed a smile on his face.

He was incredibly happy.

In the past two hours, the pursuers and the Black Demon Race arrest team had not managed to find him.

His speculation was right.

The bounty list of the Domain Alliance indeed relied on the fluctuations of yuan qi to locate his whereabouts, and those crazy hunters as well as the Black Demon Race's arrest team traced him down using the token and list. Once he was within a certain range the token and sub-list would produce a response.

Now that Ye Qingyu had sealed himself, the token and the list had lost their effectiveness.

Ye Qingyu finally breathed a sigh of relief.

He could continue to do what he wanted to do.

Along the way, Ye Qingyu also saw experts from the major domains and races. The eruption of the demon tide had attracted countless people and various evil monsters. All kinds of news were spreading wildly, and from them Ye Qingyu also obtained some extremely useful news.

The exact location of the demon tide this time was indeed in the depths of the 17th district, in a place called Taowu mountain range.

There was no record of the Taowu mountain range in the Administrative Hall, but Ye Qingyu had heard Elder Yan Wushuang mention it before.

The martial arts emperor of the Black Demon Race who founded the Black Demon Abyss thousands of years ago had once domesticated a spiritual beast, called [Taowu]. It was shaped like a tiger, with thick whiskers and human-like facial features. Its four claws were like those of tigers. Its fangs were incomparably sharp and it was a very terrifying beast in the ancient times. During the God and DevilAge it was known as one of the [Four Fiercest] beasts.

Legend has it that [Taowu] was extremely ferocious, powerful and fearless, and had accompanied the Black Demon Race emperor around the world. It was said that every expert that its fangs had ripped into would collapse and die on the spot. For thousands of years, it had devoured many great sages and experts. Most importantly, during the most important battle before the establishment of the Black Demon Abyss, it was said that a quasi-emperor demon expert had died under its fangs.

The name of this fierce beast had sent the world quaking in the past.

Later, after the disappearance of the emperor of the Black Demon Race, the spiritual beast remained in the Black Demon Abyss, guarding the huge city that its master had left behind.

The place called Taowu mountain range was named as a result due to the shape of the mountains which resembled the legendary spiritual beast.

In the past three days, there was a large number of treasures being spurted out of the Taowu mountain range. The scene was extremely spectacular.

It was reported that among the treasures spurted out, there not only were divine weapons and spiritual jewels, but also various medicinal herbs that were rarely found in Black Demon Abyss, including the Black Demon Herb that Ye Qingyu had been searching for.

This news made Ye Qingyu incredibly excited——
