"Have you heard? That kid Zhou Yuan actually managed to s.n.a.t.c.h away a little Heaven Genesis technique from the hands of Xiao Tianxuan and his squad!"

　　"That can't be, right? Isn't Zhou Yuan only at the Qi Nouris.h.i.+ng stage?"

　　"I heard that he took advantage of the moment when Xiao Tianxuan's group and the grade 4 Genesis Beast exhausted each other."

　　"Tchtch, what great luck. That's a little Heaven Genesis technique!"

　　"Heh, Xiao Tianxuan has promised 3 million Genesis crystals to anyone who can catch Zhou Yuan. Many have already went to the area he was last seen in hopes of capturing him, taking the little Heaven Genesis technique and then the bounty on his head."

　　"What a case of treasuring a jade ring becomes a crime. He's so weak and yet he still dares to have designs on a little Heaven Genesis technique, that's practically courting death."

　　"Shall we go and try our luck too? If we somehow meet him, it will be akin to striking lottery."

　　"Heheh, that's exactly what I had in mind. He's only at the Qi Nouris.h.i.+ng stage, it should be easy to deal with him if we encounter him."

　　"Quick then, let's go!"

　　"......"

　　......

　　Xiao Tianxuan stood with his hands behind his back on a certain mountain top. As he gazed at the figures that seemingly covered the sky and land as they searched for a particular individual, a chillingly eerie look emerged in his eyes.

　　"He is really good at hiding!"

　　Xiao Tianxuan frostily said. He had done as Gu Ling suggested, and sure enough, many individuals had been drawn over to search for any traces of Zhou Yuan. Although there was a lot of activity, they were still unable to find Zhou Yuan.

　　"No need to be anxious. Zhou Yuan is definitely still in the area." Gu Ling consoled from behind. Her long and narrow eyes stared at the vast mountain forests like a viper as she said, "He is now merely a rat that has already been caught in our net. As long as we continue to tighten the net, he will eventually appear."

　　"When that happens, his Qi Nouris.h.i.+ng stage strength will not be able to save him from death!"

　　Xiao Tianxuan nodded, before forcefully expelling a long breath of air as he wanted to get rid of all the resentment he had towards Zhou Yuan.

　　His path had been smooth sailing for many years, and his status as the junior city lord of Saint Remains City made it such that praise and compliance were all he would meet wherever he went. He never imagined that he would actually succ.u.mb to a ploy from a Qi Nouris.h.i.+ng stage kid.

　　No matter what, he would not take this lying down.

　　Gu Ling softly said, "Come on, a rat is not worth getting angry over. How can such a person compare to you? Even when you discount your status, you're still someone who has already stepped into the realm of the advance Heaven Gate stage, and is even an elite amongst those of the same cultivation level. Besides those few individuals, who else amongst the entire younger generation of the Cangmang Continent can match you?"
