Lu Ye unsheathed the Inviolable Saber and ran it across his finger. Using his blood, he wrote down a name on the Tracking Disc. At the same time, he thought about the target’s information in his mind.
The next instant, the Tracking Disc radiated a red glow as the compass needle spun momentarily before stopping.
Looking in the direction where the needle pointed, Lu Ye said, “Let’s go.”
Three figures shot through the Void. Around two hours later, they hovered somewhere above the Passionless Mountain.
Presently, the Tracking Disc in Lu Ye’s hand kept spinning. It wasn’t that it had malfunctioned. It showed that their target was right below them.
After keeping the Tracking Disc, Lu Ye looked down but couldn’t discover anything.
“All of you, stay here,” Lu Ye ordered and descended. Soon enough, he landed on the ground and activated his Divine Ego to scan his surroundings.
A while later, he detected the aura of a living person deep beneath the ground. The person was their target this time. He then looked around and saw a rock face with some Wards in front of it.
However, these Wards were simple and crude in Lu Ye’s eyes. It was obvious that the target wasn’t well-versed in the Way of Wards.
He wasn’t in a hurry to make a move. Instead, he kept surveying the area. A moment later, he beckoned to Xiao Xinghe and Lin Yinxiu, who were waiting in mid-air. He told Xiao Xinghe to stay there and took Lin Yinxiu to another place.
The target this time was pretty shrewd, so there was more than one exit in his hiding place. Every exit was well-hidden. An average Real Lake Realm Master might not discover anything. However, as Lu Ye scanned the surroundings with his Divine Ego, the routes of the passageway were easily exposed.
Soon enough, Lin Yinxiu was ready as she waited in front of that exit.
Only then did Lu Ye head to the third exit and gently knock on Amber’s forehead.
Yi Yi emerged from Amber’s body. Without a need for an exchange of words, she knew what was on Lu Ye’s mind.
“Be careful,” Lu Ye said.
“Yes,” Yi Yi replied meekly and snuck into the ground.
It was in the middle of the night. The sounds of reptiles and birds reverberated across the place.
All of a sudden, Yi Yi was heard shouting from underground, “I’m from the Law Enforcement Hall. You’re busted, Chu Yue. Surrender right away!”
Lu Ye found it funny as he could imagine Yi Yi barking out such an order with her adorable appearance.
She must’ve been influenced by Geng Wuwang. The last time Lu Ye tagged along with Team A3 to carry out a mission, Geng Wuwang had said something similar.
As soon as Yi Yi finished speaking, violent fluctuations of Spiritual Powers could be felt coming from underground. Lu Ye sensed it with his Divine Ego and discovered that, after the guy named Chu Yue attacked Yi Yi, he madly ran in a different direction.
That direction was where Lin Yinxiu was waiting, so Lu Ye hurriedly went over.
As soon as he arrived, he saw a figure leaving the exit covered with Wards. Following that, Lin Yinxiu summoned something.
It was a treasure that looked like a net. Although Chu Yue was well-prepared, he still couldn’t fend it off. He was instantly caught up in the net.
Just as he was ready to struggle out of it, Lu Ye charged forward and landed a kick on him.
Struck by the attack, Chu Yue, who was trapped in the net, crashed into a tree with a boom and broke it in half.
“Tighten!” Lin Yinxiu shouted. As she activated her Spiritual Power, the net started tightening. Regardless of how hard Chu Yue tried to resist, it was futile.
A saber was unsheathed as Lu Ye placed it at Chu Yue’s neck and demanded, “If you dare resist again, I’ll kill you right here!”
Those from the Law Enforcement Hall had a right to kill the targets, especially when the targets refused to be cooperative. Therefore, it was fine for Lu Ye to end this person’s life right there and then.
When Chu Yue detected Lu Ye’s murderous intent, he finally stopped resisting. Restricted by the net, he glanced at Lu Ye and let out a sigh of relief. “The day has come at last…”
Clothes could be heard flapping in the air. When Xiao Xinghe arrived and saw what was going on, he set his mind at ease.
Lu Ye looked at the exhausted Chu Yue and said impassively, “Behave yourself if you don’t want to get killed. If you dare resist, I’ll kill you straight away. Do you get it?”
“Since I’ve been captured, I’ll stop struggling.” Chu Yue nodded. He had resigned himself to fate. “When I go to jail, I still stand a chance to survive. But if I resist here, I’ll be doomed. I understand that fully well.”
Lu Ye nodded and put his saber back into the sheath.
Since they had captured the target, there was no longer a need for them to stay there. Lu Ye then led his team to return to Grand Sky City even though it was in the middle of the night.
Chu Yue had indeed resigned himself to fate. He didn’t try to struggle along the way while confined to Lin Yinxiu’s net.
He didn’t even speak either. Perhaps he felt it was pointless to talk to those from the Law Enforcement Hall.
Two days later, they arrived at Grand Sky City. Since they had captured the target, the person naturally had to be sent to jail.
The three of them parted ways. Xiao Xinghe and Lin Yinxiu were responsible for sending Chu Yue to the prison while Lu Ye headed straight to the Hunting Pavilion.
“Huh?” The chubby old man was shocked to see Lu Ye. “Why are you back so soon? The task…”
“The task has been completed.” Lu Ye passed him the jade slip he had picked up from here previously.
The old man was startled. “You’re pretty lucky.”
He understood how difficult the task was and felt that if Lu Ye and the others wanted to complete the task, it would take them ten days to half a month at the very least. It was also likely that they would fail. Much to his surprise, Lu Ye and his team returned in just five days.
Excluding the time they had spent travelling between the two places, they were amazingly efficient. It could be said that they were extremely lucky.
“Senior, how many battle points do we get for completing such a task?” Lu Ye asked.
“Around 50,000 battle points,” replied the old man.
Lu Ye felt his eyelids twitching. They only earned around 50,000 battle points for the task, but he had used a Tracking Disc which cost 30,000 battle points. In other words, they had spent five days carrying out the task, but they only earned about 20,000 battle points, which had to be shared among three people. The gain was meagre.
One had to know that he could earn 5,000 battle points a day by making Explosive Fire Spirit Stones.
However, his earnings couldn’t be regarded as the norm. To other Real Lake Realm Masters, such a gain was pretty good.
It was easy for Lu Ye to earn battle points, but it was a different story for Xiao Xinghe. Some things couldn’t be measured in numbers.
