The night fell like thick ink, the glass curtain walls reflecting the fragmented neon lights.

A black sedan pulled into the skyscraper's main entrance, its taillights trailing two crimson tracks on the stone steps.

"Qing-ge!!"

Old Qiao and Lv Chen stood at the doorway waiting.

As the figure stepped out of the car, they immediately approached.

Besides the two of them, another person also walked up with a smile.

"Hello, I am Xiao Yunliang, one of the executives of the Purple Stone Commerce Association."

Fang Qingyu first greeted Old Qiao and Lv Chen, then extended his hand.

He looked at Xiao Yunliang, who bore the title in red.

"Fang Qingyu."

"Come on, let's go inside and talk."

Old Qiao scratched his head after the greetings and pointed at the skyscraper entrance with a goofy grin.

This was, after all, Fang Qingyu's first time meeting an executive of the Purple Stone Commerce Association.

He wasn't sure what they needed from him today.

He followed the three of them inside.

The elevator silently ascended to the top floor.

As the doors opened, the city's neon galaxy spilled in through the curved floor-to-ceiling windows.

It was truly luxurious.

"Mr. Fang, have a seat."

Reaching the top, it became Xiao Yunliang's domain.

Old Qiao and Lv Chen were in charge of brewing tea for the two.

"Why did you ask me here this time?"

Fang Qingyu took a sip; even though he wasn't much of a tea drinker, he found it quite pleasant. He set the cup down and looked at Xiao Yunliang.

He hadn't been part of the Purple Stone Commerce Association for long.

He hadn't done much for the association nor received significant benefits from it.

The deepest connection.

Was that, during the process of acquainting with the extraordinary, Old Qiao and Lv Chen had helped him quite a bit.

"Mr. Fang, do you know what is the most profitable after stepping into the extraordinary?"

Seeing Fang Qingyu get straight to the point, Xiao Yunliang didn't seem annoyed.

"Hunting Life Ghosts?"

Fang Qingyu knew that even a Martial Disciple Level Life Pearl was very valuable, let alone a Martial Artist's.

"Life Pearls are indeed valuable and are rarely available, but... their price has an upper limit."

Xiao Yunliang shook his head.

"For instance, if the price of a Martial Disciple Level Life Pearl exceeds its intrinsic value too much, it will be hard to sell."

"Then?"

Fang Qingyu showed a hint of curiosity.

"The most lucrative is actually bounties."

Old Qiao suddenly spoke up from the side.

"Like you, Qing-ge, stepping into the extraordinary doesn't mean every Martial Artist joins the Divine Management Bureau; some choose to be freelancers."

"And those freelancers... Qing-ge, you can imagine how terrifying they are in regular society."

Fang Qingyu listened, somewhat pensive.

Indeed.

If a Martial Artist wanted to commit crimes, not to mention anything else, robbing would be ridiculously easy.

"So, the most lucrative is actually capturing those extraordinary criminals?"

"Yes, criminals with bounties."

Old Qiao nodded.

"People like those in the Divine Management Bureau usually spend their time and energy on Life Ghosts or Alien God believers, but they'd also choose to join a commerce association to take bounty jobs for extra earnings."

Fang Qingyu suddenly twitched his mouth slightly.

"...Would the Federation entrust such matters to a commerce association?"

Old Qiao looked naturally certain.

"Yes, commerce associations are under Federation jurisdiction, and if those Martial Artists choose to hide, it's very troublesome. Only commerce associations have the time, money, and energy to arrange people to find their traces."

"President Xiao even holds a position in the Military Department, and for some special personnel arrangements, the Federation always gives us green channels."

"Indeed."

Xiao Yunliang nodded from the side.

With that logic, it makes sense.

Fang Qingyu, looking thoughtful: "So, you're here to offer me a bounty job?"

To be honest, he wasn't short of money... not very interested.

Old Qiao knew Fang Qingyu's character well; hearing this tone, he sensed trouble.

Ignoring President Xiao's presence, he grabbed Xiao's phone from the side.

He turned on the screen to show Fang Qingyu.

"Yes, Qing-ge, you could pursue both paths simultaneously, and taking bounty jobs earns bounty points. This is a reward all commerce associations modeled on merit points."

"You can also exchange them for extraordinary cultivation resources."

Fang Qingyu took it and looked.

Indeed, there were Qi Blood Crystals, Meditation Flowers, and such items...

But when he clicked the 'My Options' below.

Fang Qingyu's eyes slightly brightened, quickly returning to normal.

He casually asked, "Is this app anonymous?"

Old Qiao shook his head, his eyes showing hope.

"It is anonymous, so those who don't want to reveal their identities can also take on bounty tasks, ultimately promoting justice and eliminating evil."

"Alright."

Fang Qingyu pondered for a while.

Finally, he nodded in agreement.

This anonymity was enticing indeed...

Currently, his Martial Artist's Path was flourishing, yet as a Divine Cultist, he had to toil in cultivation daily.

He barely managed to step into the extraordinary now.

Compared to others, his pace was quick, but it fell behind the speed of Martial Artists' advancement.

If he could exchange for cultivation resources for believers through this channel.

That would be quite comfortable.

Upon leaving the skyscraper, it was already close to midnight.

Fang Qingyu politely declined Xiao Yunliang's invitation to hang out together.

Old Qiao and Lv Chen didn't go either, joining him on the way out.

"Qingzi, your pace of taking off is too fast."

Old Qiao looked at the night with a face full of wistfulness.

Fang Qingyu teased him back, "Why aren't you calling me Qing-ge now?"

Old Qiao returned to his rogue self, "With knowledgeable people around, it's better to call you Qing-ge. Now that no one's here, of course, I'll call you Qingzi."

"Alright, I'm heading off now."

"See you tomorrow."

Fang Qingyu waved at the two with a smile.

This time, Xiao Yunliang urgently had Old Qiao find him because the association had found an additional Martial Artist criminal with an 800k bounty.

Xiao Yunliang wasn't willing to pass on this opportunity.

But he alone, he lacked confidence.

The opponent was also a Breaking Mortality Martial Artist, with the same level as him.

So I asked Fang Qingyu to meet up tomorrow night.

At that time, Old Qiao and Lv Chen will come to assist.

Got into the car.

Fang Qingyu returned to the dormitory before opening the information Xiao Yunliang gave him.

[Federal Special Wanted Order]

File Number: B-1193-Dark Crow

Wanted Subject: Zhou Minghuan (former name: Zhou Mu)

Gender: Male

Age: 34 years old

Crime Characteristics: Targets wealthy women, extorts first, then rapes and kills, always leaves a beeswax rose at the scene.

Reward: 80 million, 10 Bounty Points.

The information was very detailed.

It listed the characteristics of the Observation Method and the Qi Blood Technique.

In terms of combat power among the same level, it's still decent.

Mainly relies on the tactic of Qi Blood explosion.

But definitely a scumbag.

Killing such a person requires no psychological burden.

After reading, he put away the information.

Fang Qingyu then read the books Duan Ling brought over for a while.

It wasn't until 1 a.m. that he slowly fell asleep.

...

Rainy night.

It was already the second night after the meeting with Xiao Yunliang.

Fang Qingyu slightly relaxed today's training intensity.

Then hurried to meet up with them.

He had a pre-understanding of some bounty hunter skills.

For example, killing a Martial Artist, the hardest part is not how to kill.

But how to prevent the opponent from escaping.

After all, if a Martial Artist learns the Body Technique and you're using a special force field with a diameter of only a hundred meters, the opponent could easily escape in just two breaths.

Only by bringing the opponent into the force field.

Then you need to consider how to capture or kill them.

But generally, it's killing, since capturing alive doesn't bring much money and is more difficult.

Moreover, killing someone on the wanted list has no consequences.

In this way, it's somewhat easier.

The rain drummed tens of thousands of beats on the container.

Fang Qingyu's back was tightly pressed against the rusty iron wall, rainwater trickling down his hair into his collar.

The dock warehouse thirty meters away resembled a crouching beast, a certain window on the second floor cast a dim yellow light, blurred into the rain like a yolk.

"This rain is coming down like Heaven's prostate is out of control."

Old Qiao wiped the rain off his face, his grumble mixed with the sound of rain, the device in his arms radiating a faint blue glow.

A few red shadows squeezed together on the screen.

Zhou Minghuan was playing cards with a group of people.

Now we need to wait for the card game to end.

Lv Chen adjusted the focus of the binoculars: "Actually, it's quite good, the heavy rain should make it hard for them to spot us."

However, as soon as the words fell.

The sound of a chair being overturned suddenly came from the second floor.

Zhou Minghuan kicked open the iron door, "Damn! I'll go take a piss to change my luck before coming back to wreck you all."

He spat into the room, walked down the stairs, his boots crushing the puddles underfoot.

Xiao Yunliang's eyes lit up upon seeing this.

Unexpectedly, the opponent would come down to use the toilet.

"Three, two, one..."

As the countdown began, Fang Qingyu and the other two quickly followed the containers, swiftly approaching Zhou Minghuan's side and forming a surrounding stance with Xiao Yunliang.

"Go!"

A roar sounded, the rain suddenly condensed into transparent hexagonal grids in mid-air.

A spherical force field, with a diameter of a hundred meters, burst open.

Raindrops crashed into the force field wall and shattered into silver fragments.

The moment the force field unfolded, Zhou Minghuan's pupils shrank to points, retreating half a step and knocking over an iron drum, first panicking in his eyes.

But soon he calmed down.

"Commerce Association's little dogs!? "

His hoarse voice roared with a bizarre smile.

"Trying to play tricks!?"

Before the words were even finished, the door not far behind was suddenly kicked open.

"Get inside!!!"

Seeing this, Xiao Yunliang hastily shouted at the people over there.

The distance from where Zhou Minghuan just came out was less than a hundred meters, but he was confident he could hold Zhou Minghuan there, preventing him from threatening ordinary people.

As long as ordinary people weren't harmed in the end, this could hardly count as a violation.

Finding a time when there's not a single person within a hundred meters to use the force field is very hard.

Old Qiao and Lv Chen were there to assist, especially for this moment.

So, once Xiao Yunliang finished speaking.

The two immediately planned to go around Zhou Minghuan, heading to the second floor of the iron shed to stop any ordinary people from coming out.

However, Fang Qingyu suddenly shouted.

"Don't go!"

"???"

Old Qiao and the other two cast puzzled glances simultaneously.

Fang Qingyu frowned and didn't say anything.

Because three more of Zhou Minghuan's poker buddies had come out from the top, and they were also Martial Artists!

... Absolutely absurd, his mom opened the door of absurdity.

Absurd to the core.

Four wanted criminals, gathered to play cards!?

What leisure they must have.

"You guys hide well, I'll go."

Fang Qingyu first shouted at Old Qiao and Lv Chen, then looked towards Xiao Yunliang.

"Mr. Xiao, you hold him back."

As he spoke, he directly took over the command.

Meanwhile, beneath his boots, Crimson Gold Flowing Fire erupted in the rainy night.

The Golden Pattern swirled around him like a molten star ring, with a lava vortex in his left eye and a collapsing silver moon in his right eye.

Like a demon in the night...
