There is a remote town in the northwest of the Lieyang Empire. It is close to the northwest coast of the mainland. It only takes ten minutes to walk from the town to the cliff.
In a restaurant in a small town, a middle-aged man in an apron in the kitchen was cutting a piece of ham with a kitchen knife. His movements were very graceful, and from time to time he even chewed a piece of it in his mouth.
Two people stood respectfully behind him. They watched quietly, not daring to express their anger.
Finally, after cutting another piece of ham and stuffing it into his mouth, the middle-aged man nodded with satisfaction, put down the slender ham knife, picked up the plate on the side and walked to the table.
The other two people quickly followed, carrying milk and dinner for the middle-aged man.
"Charcoal seller, let's sit down and try it together. My latest cured ham tastes very good." The middle-aged man said expressionlessly.
The charcoal seller trembled slightly and shook his head nervously.
"Look, it's all my fault. You forgot about your bad teeth." The middle-aged man picked up two slices of ham and stuffed them into his mouth without any apology on his face.
"I'm sorry, Lord. It was my incompetence that led to the capture of the stronghold and heavy losses. Please punish me!" The charcoal seller knelt on the ground and said with his head lowered.
"Don't you know? I never talk about work when I'm eating?" the middle-aged man said softly after taking a bite of bread.
"Yes... I'm sorry..." The charcoal seller lowered his head.
The other man standing had a very natural expression on his face. He was just watching the middle-aged man eating expressionlessly.
After the middle-aged man swallowed the ham in his mouth, he sighed and said, "How long have you been following me?"
The charcoal seller replied tremblingly: "Twenty...twenty-three years."
"Well, it's not long. It's been more than twenty years. Get up. I can't blame you completely this time. Get up."
This elegant middle-aged man is the leader of the Resurrection Society of the Lieyang Empire and the top king in the underground world - Kun Nan.
"Thank you, Lord Kunnan..." The charcoal seller stood up tremblingly.
"Tell me about it..." Kun Nan took a sip of milk and said softly.
"The day before the incident, a well-known subordinate came back to report that the young master of the Du family in Shangzhou County asked us to kill a person. After confirmation by the killer, the target was also on our reward list. After several confirmations, the killer started the assassination, but The man dodged it, and he came back to report after the attack failed."
"I looked through the bounty list, and after identifying it with my subordinates, I confirmed that he is number 85. The reason for the bounty is that he participated in the Lieyang Divine Martial War. The target seems to have a close relationship with the young princess Chu Qianxue."
"I immediately sent my men into the city to search for him, but I didn't see the man again. The next day I received your order to complete the emergency mission. When I returned to Shangzhou County, I found that the stronghold had been destroyed and all the believers were gone. Death, the treasure house has been emptied."
"In addition, I also met Zhao Yaohui. He said that the person who committed the crime was a distinguished guest of his chamber of commerce, and that there was more than one strong person in the Creation Realm behind that person."
The charcoal seller did not dare to tell the story without any concealment.
"Well, I guess the assassination attempt by one of your subordinates was exposed, and that person held a grudge. He attacked him high and improved his ranking!"
The young man who had been silent for a long time nodded and asked: "My lord, how high will it be?"
"Well... promoted to the eleventh place, the bounty is 10 million." Kun Nan thought for a while and said.
"Follow your orders!" Gao Xi's expression was as usual, but he was extremely shocked. He was ranked eleventh, second only to the top ten. The top ten had bounties of more than 50 million, and each of them was a great threat to the Resurrection Society. .
For example, the first place, Emperor Chu Haotian of the Lieyang Empire, has a bounty of 100 billion.
"Okay, Charcoal Seller, please find a way to find the information on Eleven. We must find what we lost. We don't have much left in the meeting." Kun Nan waved his hand to signal the Charcoal Seller to leave first.
The charcoal seller was relieved. When he left the room, he realized that his back was soaked with cold sweat.
In the silent room, Kun Nan leaned on the chair with his eyes closed.
Gao Xi still stood upright beside him.
"Will there be any gains from going to Tielong County this time?" Kun Nan slowly spoke after a long time.
"Back to my lord, the old man from Tielong County still doesn't agree to join us." Gao Xi bowed slightly and said.
"Okay, since he is so stubborn, let's inform the Tiedang Gang and launch an attack on them." Kun Nan said with a sneer.
"My Lord, by the way, I have something to report to you."
"explain!"
"When I was in Tie Rong County... I thought I saw a young man with a similar figure to Bounty Number 11... but his face was different..."
"Have outsiders entered Tierong County?" Kun Nan thought about it, paused and continued: "Can you feel the level of cultivation of that young man?"
"I'm not sure about his cultivation level, but I can feel that his physical body is very strong... not much worse than mine... Do you need me to confirm again?" Gao Xi asked.
"No, I'll go there myself. You can concentrate on dealing with Tierong County. We need them to make equipment for us." Kun Nan waved his hand, stood up and walked out.
Gao Xi kept bowing and didn't straighten up until Kun Nan left. He took a deep breath. Facing the king of the underground world, even he felt a little oppressed.
Gao Xi reached out and picked up the remaining ham on the plate, stuffed it into his mouth, and then swallowed it expressionlessly.
"To be honest, it's really average." After saying that, Gao Xi disappeared directly from the spot.
………
Three hundred miles to the west of Tirong County is the Donglin Mountains.
"Master! I'm a little annoyed about the forest. Can you understand the map?" Daolin handed the map to King Thunderbolt with a worried look on his face.
"Let me take a look." King Thunder Flash chuckled and took the map.
"Look...go straight in, turn left when you encounter a big rock, turn right when you encounter a crooked neck tree, and then go straight..." King Thunderbolt said, gesturing on the map with his fingers.
"If you don't know the way, it's not suitable for you to travel far away..." Suddenly, a voice sounded above the head, and a middle-aged man in an apron landed from the sky in front of the three of them.
King Thunder Flash narrowed his eyes and stared at the visitor.
"Your Excellency is very unfamiliar. I don't know what to call you?" The person who came was none other than Kun Nan. He bowed slightly and asked gracefully.
"Thunder Flash!" King Thunder Flash said coldly.
"I've never heard of it. Are you this little guy's helper?" Kunnan asked Daolin, pointing to King Thunderbolt.
"Who are you! You are so rude!" King Thunder Flash shouted softly.
"Blame me, blame me, it's my fault, I apologize." Kunnan said, clasping his fists.
King Thunderbolt frowned slightly, feeling a little uncomfortable with this man's behavior.
"I've already apologized to you. Can the three of you grant me a small wish?" Kun Nan straightened up and said.
Seeing that the three of them were silent, Kun Nan smiled and continued: "Looking at the three of them, they look very good. To be honest, I want to make specimens of them and store them in my room. What do you think of them?"
