Imperial Treasure

The Hunting Space, although large, cannot be considered a true world; the Rift Valley District lies within a thousand li.

Rift Valley District, as the name suggests, is an area with numerous surface cracks, and many caves on the mountain walls. These landscapes are not formed by a single cause; there are influences from primordial crustal movement and mountain structure, as well as the actions of wild exotic beasts using their bodies and habits to create them. If viewed from a hundred-zhang height, the Rift Valley District looks like a pockmarked face with many scars, quite unattractive. However, it is also the most dangerous place in the Hunting Space, renowned as the Death Hunting Grounds.

It’s simply because there are many caves, and the wild exotic beasts residing within are both numerous and formidable.

In the far north of the Rift Valley District, Sky Cave Mountain reaches ten thousand zhang high, with caves of varying sizes spread over its walls. It does not rise directly from the ground; instead, it emerges from the largest gorge in the Hunting Space. Surrounding is a rift valley that spans three thousand meters wide, with a bottom depth that can’t be seen. Cold winds howl, intermittently accompanied by the angry roars of powerful exotic beasts at the bottom of the valley, echoing like an abyss.

The abyss clings to knife-like mountain walls, where caves of various sizes abound. The largest among them resembles a gaping mouth, shrouded in darkness, seemingly impervious to sunlight.

Yet, at the moment, most of these wild exotic beasts are restlessly roaring or wounded, whimpering on the ground...

Because there are many people present now.

Three thousand meters away at the cliff’s edge, carts and vehicles are either parked or floating in mid-air, with numerous followers and masters already on the ground, subduing the exotic beasts they have hunted. In no time, blood is strewn everywhere, and stoves are set up on-site to cook meat and refine essence pearls.

Among them, several young masters from various noble clans gather together, casting a fierce and excited gaze towards the mountain cave, mocking it with wild laughter.

The young man at the forefront, clad in a brown robe, has his hands behind his back, with hostility in his expression, calling out to the two Void-breaking masters suspended in the sky: "Senior Zhang Xu, Senior Li Feng, can you enter the rift and capture that damned person?"

Zhang Xu hardly regards these young masters highly, but his hands are tied due to accepting their money. Moreover, Meng Yi hails from a prominent lineage within the ape faction of the Dragon Ape World. The Meng Family itself has some Void-breaking level sponsors, but this lad has some acumen and prefers not to use the family’s resources for such matters. Achieving success would earn him recognition within the family, but would also be shared among others, so he opted to hire the two Void-breaking hermits. If they could capture the Ghostly Assassin who recently caused several noble clan children to lose soldiers and be vexed, it would naturally let Meng Yi make a name for himself, directly rising among the esteemed young masters. Thus, this lad clearly has some cunning.

"The Sky Hole inside is filled with miasma; it can harm even us two at Void-breaking level, not to mention that it contains Void-breaking level exotic beasts... naturally feeding on miasma, hard to deal with."

In plain terms, they’re unwilling to go in!

Spending a hundred thousand essence pearls to hire two Void-breaking level masters, just to deal with a less than Void-breaking level woman, a matter that could be resolved with certainty, has stubbornly turned into this current situation!

Though displeased, Meng Yi dare not express anger towards the two Void-breaking masters, thus can only discuss: "Is there any other way to force out this damned person?"

Initially, Li Feng and Zhang Xu were not keen on this mission. Suddenly seeing Meng Yi also hired the opponent, they thought it was making a big fuss over a small matter, but once engaged, they realized the Ghostly Assassin was indeed troublesome, with uncanny insight and speed, especially resistance, surviving an attack from both of them yet still escaping into the Sky Hole...

It’s impossible to go in search of people; they have no wish to take the risk.

"Inside the Sky Hole, even we two cannot guarantee survival, and she is already grievously wounded and dying. Young Master Meng need not worry; she is sure to die."

The two Void-breaking masters feel there’s hardly any need to capture anyone anymore.

However, Li Feng soon notices the young master behind Meng Yi showing a subtle expression and says: "Capturing her allows venting anger and is more persuasive... otherwise, those people may not believe."

That makes sense, although Li Feng feels the group of young masters likely covet the Ghostly Assassin’s beauty... during the prior battle, he glimpsed briefly but had to admit the unknown, cold-hearted assassin was indeed striking, understandable why these young masters are intent on capturing her alive. Acquiring her would be a satisfaction, and if sold to a slave market, she could fetch a hefty price, quickly recouping the hundred thousand essence pearls...
