The Dragon God of Destruction
Hunted by the Enemy
Tianyu Star, Sword Sect
After Jie Yan said he wanted to take on the mission of hunting down a mysterious existence who was thought to be a spirit beast, the Elder fell silent because it was the most difficult mission even than taking down a small Kingdom.
This was because the number of intermediate stage Immortal Ruler level cultivators missing was overwhelming, compared to other missions, other missions only needed to take down one intermediate stage Immortal Ruler level cultivator, a medium stage one, it is also in the weakest category.
“Good. I'll process the mission you took. Moreover, this mission will reward you with 1,000,000 high-end spirit stones if completed within one year.” the Elder said as he processed the mission directly for Jie Yan.
Jie Yan just waited and a few moments later, a copy of the mission was given to him and he immediately left the Mission Hall after saying goodbye to the Elders.
“Jie Yan, why did that Yun Che enter the Main Sword Sect while you who won the competition did not go there? Hm! This sect really has no eyes to see someone!” xia Yue'er said in a dissatisfied tone.
Jie Yan smiled when he heard what Xia Yue'er said. “Yue’er, it doesn't matter at all because from the start, I won't focus too much on a Sect. I just want to increase my strength to a certain point in order to be able to travel freely in the Eternal Realm.”
“At least I have to reach the level of an Immortal King. It will be easy for me to travel to the other high-level Immortal Realm.” Jie Yan said.
Hearing that, Xia Yue'er could only shut up.
Jie Yan immediately rushed towards the gate of the Sword Sect. The mileage to the Shi Empire if not using the means of air transportation took several weeks using his current strength. If he had reached the level of an Immortal Sovereign, it could be certain that it might only take him a week to reach the Shi Empire.
While exiting the gate of the Sword Sect, some figures who were near the gate noticed Jie Yan then directly went over from that place to provide information about Jie Yan who had left the Sect.
With his full speed, Jie Yan continued to move towards the direction the Shi Empire was located in. He could have flown, but he preferred to move on land because he felt the unpleasant feeling of flying.
**
Somewhere not far from the Shi Empire, there was a simple building in a small town, many strong cultivators were there. Most of them were peak stage Immortal Soul level cultivators. And nearly a quarter of them were early stage Immortal Ruler level cultivators.
A cloaked figure suddenly appeared in front of that simple building. He entered slowly into a simple building but was quite spacious and long.
And that place was an information gathering place for cultivators. The cloaked figure also walked towards a certain place, there was a man who sat a chair with liquor on the table in front of him.
“Target has exited the Sword Sect. Aside from that, there was news that the Fifth Elder sent his disciple to hunt down the target.”.
The man sitting in the chair took the bottle of drink at the table and drank it nonstop until the bottle was empty. After that, he slowly stood up and threw the bottle towards the floor.
No one cared about the man's actions because such a thing was common in the place.
“Bos has already said that he has received a deposit from the Fifth Elder. But it seems that he wants to try to kill the target so that the remaining payment fees are not counted. No problem, let's go! The target was worth 20,000,000 top grade spirit stones. If the disciple of the Fifth Elder gets in the way, we just need to clear him up!” said the man who looked drunk and walked to the outside of the building followed by the man in robes.
The two of them immediately moved towards the direction the Sword Sect was located, both of them wanted to search for the route taken by Jie Yan because both of them wanted to clear Jie Yan on the way.

Meanwhile, in the Sword Sect, Qing Mu who had currently reached the cultivation level of an intermediate stage Immortal Ruler, had already taken on missions outside of the Sword Sect. But in fact it was just a facade because he wanted to chase after Jie Yan who had not been away for long.
“My current cultivation level has reached the intermediate stage Immortal Ruler! Even if my strength doesn't reach that level, that bastard Jie Yan won't be able to fight me!” said Qing Mu coldly. At this moment an evil-looking aura seeped from within his body involuntarily.
The pill that Qing Mu had consumed was indeed an evil pill, it also gave off a stray personality after he finished taking the pill.

Jie Yan had no idea that the hunters had moved to go after him. From the start, when he felt a bad premonition, he instantly changed the route several times. He did not know why he felt he had to do that but he followed his instincts.
Xia Yue'er also realized that Jie Yan was constantly changing the route of the trip. But he didn't ask at all about it.
Time continued to pass, unknowingly Jie Yan had been moving for over a week from the Sword Sect. On the way, he met with bandits several times and then he took care of it.
Due to the alertness that suddenly appeared in his heart, Jie Yan never passed through small towns or villages.
“Are we still long at the mission place?” Xia Yue'er asked in a bored tone who was sitting in her VIP seat.
“More than a week. I changed the route a few times so the journey will definitely take longer.” Jie Yan replied. He was in no hurry because he had one year to complete the mission so that the reward received was greater. Although it was completed in two years, it did not affect him becoming a core disciple. Only, the reward will be smaller.
“Why did you change route several times?” Xia Yue'er asked in surprise.
“I feel that someone is after us right now. First of all, I suspect that it must be related to the Fifth Elder. I also intend to buy some time so that I can break through cultivation to the next stage. Maybe in another week, I will be able to re-break through.” Jie Yan said.
“You want to break through again?” Xia Yue'er was slightly dissatisfied. He also wanted to break through but Xiao Ziya would definitely bother him and say that it was not yet the time.
“Yes. This is also a mission. If it comes to missions, maybe in half a year I will reach the level of an Immortal Sovereign. However, since I feel a bad premonition, I want to break through as soon as possible.” Jie Yan replied.
“If it is true that someone was sent by the Fifth Elder, we only need to clean it up!” xia Yue'er said proudly as she wanted to show off her current level of strength.
Jie Yan did not speak anymore and continued moving. When night fell, because it had been a week he moved non-stop, he decided to stop to rest replenish his energy.
After making a fire and burning some meat, after eating after a long time, Jie Yan meditated on restoring his strength. As for Xia Yue'er, he simply lay boredly on Jie Yan's lap.
As Jie Yan was meditating, Xiao Ziya who was in the Soul Room opened her eyes and stared in a certain direction. He frowned slightly and then tried to track towards the distance.
“Not good..!” Inner Xiao Ziya and directly contacted Jie Yan.
“Jie Yan, from the North, there is one cultivator approaching. I've felt his aura. His cultivation was at the level of an intermediate stage Immortal Sovereign! And also, there was an extremely evil aura on his body!” xiao Ziya said.
Jie Yan who was meditating, directly opened his eyes. It stood up directly which made Xia Yue'er surprised.
“What happened?” Xia Yue'er asked seriously when she saw Jie Yan's slightly grim face.
“Yue’er, something is approaching! He had the cultivation level of an Intermediate-stage Immortal Ruler! It's not something we can fight at the moment!” jie Yan replied as he picked up Xia Yue'er then took out his wings. He immediately flew towards the Shi Empire at his full speed.
Meanwhile, at a distance not too far away, a figure that was none other than Qing Mu continued to fly. His intuition said that Jie Yan passed through the place because several times, he saw several bandit groups that were sorted out in the middle of the road.
After moving fast enough for ten minutes, Qing Mu saw below that there was a small bonfire and he grinned viciously. He immediately spread his spiritual power as far as possible and tracked down some of the auras he was familiar with.
“I finally found you! You won't be able to escape my hands, Jie Yan!” said Qing Mu and instantly increased his speed to the maximum level to catch up to Jie Yan who left not until ten minutes ago.
