Fantasy: Immortality Begins with Absorbing Demons

Chapter Forty-Four: Reward

"It's developed, it's developed!"

"The ancients were right, the gold belt for killing and setting fires was not wrong to me!"

Inside the package were several crumpled silver notes, soaked in water.

The banknote was printed with the words "one hundred taels" and "Da Xuan Money Shop".

Han Yi had also seen the Da Xuan Money Shop in the market. It was a money shop opened by the imperial court, with a powerful background and abundant funds. It was basically distributed in all cities in the country.

Han Yi carefully took out the silver notes that had been washed into a mess by the stream, and counted them carefully. There were five in total.

"This is five hundred taels of silver?" This was the first time Han Yi had ever seen such a large sum of money since he came to this world!

I really don't know how Wu Awei, a petty flower thief, could have so much money on him!

Moreover, with so much silver, why not go to the 'Drunken Immortal Pavilion'?

Han Yi didn't understand, and he didn't want to understand. All he knew was that he had struck it rich!

Excited heart, trembling hands.

Han Yi carefully smoothed out the silver note, gently shook off the water droplets, and then put it into the cloth pocket close to his body.

Wu Awei's remaining possessions were unremarkable, containing nothing of value.

As for the bamboo tube that Wu Awei used, even though it was empty inside, Han Yi felt dizzy after just one sniff.

"It's nothing good either!" Han Yi buried the bamboo tube along with the pile of miscellaneous junk in a wetland.

-------------

The black sky gradually faded, and the air was still filled with the fragrance of the forest. The sky began to brighten.

With his bundle on his back, Han Yi nimbly strode towards Anyan City.

Han Yi hadn't felt anything during the fight and the cleanup, but now he was completely exhausted.

After all, he had stayed up all night, and all he wanted to do now was go back and get some rest.

咕噜 咕噜

Han Yi woke up from his deep sleep.

"Did I sleep until noon?" He rubbed his eyes sleepily, then looked at the sun outside.

"Let's collect the reward money first, then go get something to eat!" Han Yi quickly made the decision.

It's still twenty-five taels of silver, even a mosquito bite is still meat!

"Selling steamed buns! Cheap and delicious, big and round steamed buns!"

"Jianbing guozi, jianbing guozi, would you like one?"

"Roasted chestnuts, roasted chestnuts..."

Just then, the restaurant was located in Qiuzhu Alley. The street outside the alley was filled with various food stalls, and the vendors kept shouting their wares. Pedestrians walked and stopped, making the already narrow road completely blocked.

The sounds from the street were noisy, yet full of life, and to Han Yi's ears, they sounded quite pleasant.

"Which wanted poster on the wanted list has been torn down?"

"I wonder, could it be Blood Butcher, the leader of Black Wind Stronghold?"

"You're dreaming! That Black Wind Stronghold leader comes and goes without a trace. I don't think anyone in Anyan City can do anything to him..."

The crowd on the street watched as a martial artist, completely wrapped in a black robe and carrying a black cloth bag, walked by, and they began to discuss it amongst themselves.

This person was none other than Han Yi.

After all, the missions in the Martial Alliance are not specifically designed for demons like those in the Extraordinary Affairs Bureau.

Especially with bounty missions like this, the person you kill might have some connection to a master or a family, so wearing a hood to hide your identity is essential.

Even many martial artists in the Martial Alliance wear masks and change their body shape, making it impossible for others to tell whether they are male or female.

Although An'yan City has been at peace for a long time, the people living here are no strangers to the bounty missions offered by the Martial Alliance.

Han Yi was carrying a black cloth bag specially made by the Martial Alliance, and inside the bag was a round object.

Although no blood was seeping out, everyone was very perceptive and made way for them.

If you looked down from the city wall of Anyan, the streets that were originally packed with people were suddenly cleared up like a whale shark crashing into a school of silver fish. Wherever Han Yi went, a blank road was instantly formed.

Only after Han Yi had passed by would passersby start gossiping behind him.

"If only that lecherous thief Wu Awei had died at the hands of this great hero..."

Several women said through gritted teeth.

"That Wu Awei is highly skilled; I think he's at most a clueless, stupid thief..."

A passerby chimed in.

He was met with angry glares from several women. He gave an awkward smile and quickly left.

"Alas, no matter what kind of world it is, the common people always suffer," Han Yi thought to himself. "I never imagined that one day I would become a chivalrous hero..."

He shook his head, stopped thinking about random things, and quickened his pace.

The Martial Alliance, in the back hall.

The back hall is a place specifically set up by the Martial Alliance for bounty missions.

Although it was daytime, the bustling scenes in the back hall and the front hall were completely different.

Inside the back hall, there were only a few masked martial artists, each carrying a black cloth bag. They moved swiftly, unlike the sluggish and hesitant movements in the front hall.

Roll, roll

Han Yi raised his hand and placed the black cloth bag on the table in front of the official.

The officer dared not delay. After untying the bag, a pungent smell of blood wafted out. But he remained unfazed, holding Wu Awei's arrest warrant in one hand and examining the head with the other.

Clearly, the official was already used to this kind of job.

"What is this gentleman's name?"

The official bowed slightly and said respectfully.

"You're too kind. My name is Niu Li."

Han Yi, completely shrouded in a black robe, lowered his voice and spoke in a deep tone.

"Lord Niu, this is your reward money, please accept it."

The official smiled slightly and presented the twenty-five taels of silver with both hands.

Niu Li, this name sounds like a fake name, but this official has been here for a long time, what kind of people haven't he seen?

The Martial Alliance offers freedom of mission and identity, and there are quite a few people like Han Yi who hide their identities and use aliases.

There are quite a few martial artists who disguise themselves as women to collect bounties; it's just a matter of using a false name...

"Lord Niu, I wonder if 'Silver Sword' Wu Awei possesses any secret manuals?"

"Don't worry, Lord Niu, our Martial Alliance buys back all kinds of martial arts techniques at high prices. We will definitely give you a fair price."

Seeing that Han Yi remained silent, the officer continued.

"I didn't find any secret techniques on Wu Awei..." Han Yi said in a low voice.

"Would Lord Niu be interested in selling the silver sword he carries?"

"Our Martial Alliance also buys all kinds of rare and precious materials, and the prices are definitely higher than the market price. Even the Hundred Treasures Pavilion can't compare to our conscience!"

"I'm sorry, I have no intention of using that silver sword for the time being."

Han Yi bowed slightly, his tone full of apology.

His thoughts raced: "I definitely can't sell the Blue Jade Sword. I still need a better weapon, but it's too conspicuous. If I want to use it, I'll have to find a way to disguise it..." Seeing Han Yi's resolute attitude, the officer stopped trying to persuade him and turned to attend to other matters.

Han Yi then left as well.

After walking a few steps, the officer arrived at the main hall and casually tore down Wu Awei's wanted poster from the wanted list.
