Even to the Luo family, ten million high grade spirit stones was not a small sum. But the Luo family head had already made up his mind to not reveal any information about Tie Niu.
Seeing the Luo family head's insistence, the Heavenly River Marquis' eyes flashed with coldness. "Since that's the case, then I'll take my leave."
The Heavenly River Marquis' figure flashed and he disappeared from the Luo family's residence.
"Hmph, I don't believe I can't find Tie Niu."
The Heavenly River Marquis sped away as he muttered to himself. He quickly left the imperial capital and chose a direction to travel in.
It had already been several days since he had left the imperial capital. Fang Chen had always been heading in a certain direction. According to the address the Luo family head had given him, it would take another five or six days before he could reach that secret location.
At a certain moment, Fang Chen stopped. That was because there was a group of bandits chasing a woman on a wide plain in front of him.
Seeing this scene, Fang Chen shook his head slightly. Then, he directly acted to save the woman.
"Brat, who are you? How dare you obstruct our Icicle Bandits!" One of the leaders roared furiously when he saw Fang Chen suddenly appear.
"Scram."
Fang Chen didn't want to waste any time.
"Hmph, brat, you're courting death." The leader coldly snorted. "Go, kill him!"
Bang bang bang!
Before the people of the Icicle Bandits could even get close to Fang Chen, they were instantly suppressed by the wild aura around Fang Chen and were unable to move.
"Who are you?!"
With his body suppressed, the leader revealed a look of fear on his face as he spoke fearfully.
"Leader, I think I've seen him somewhere before." Suddenly, a bandit member whispered.
"Where?" asked the leader.
"He seems to be called Tie Niu. The Heavenly River Marquis is looking for him. As long as you can tell him his exact location, you can become his personal disciple."
"What, he's Tie Niu?!" The leader was incomparably shocked. Then his body began to tremble.
Tie Niu was able to kill a Martial Marquis expert. How could these small bandits compare to him?
"Lord Tie Niu, please let us go!" The bandit group was terrified and begged for mercy.
"Scram."
Fang Chen growled. These people were too strong. They weren't worth Fang Chen's time.
In an instant, the bandits quickly dispersed from the plains.
At this moment, Fang Chen looked at the girl. She was also a warrior, but her strength was not strong. She was only at the sixth level of the Qi Hai realm.
"They're gone. You're safe now," Fang Chen said.
He had only saved this woman in passing.
"Thank you, benefactor, for saving my life." The woman looked at Fang Chen gratefully.
Fang Chen shook his head slightly and turned to leave.
There was a mountain peak in the middle of an endless mountain range. This mountain peak was the territory of the famous Icicle Bandits.
Within the Icicle Bandits, within a large hall, the bandit leader, Icicle, was lying on a rattan chair, leisurely enjoying himself.
All of a sudden, a group of bandits rushed back. Their faces were filled with fear.
"Boss, something bad has happened." The leader ran to where Icicle was resting and knelt on the ground.
"What happened?" Icicle saw the leader's reaction and frowned.
"Boss, we just met a warrior. He was very strong and almost killed us all." The leader said.
"I told you not to go out and provoke others." Icicle said unhappily.
"Boss, his name is Tie Niu." The leader said softly.
"I don't care what kind of bull he is." Icicle's face suddenly changed. He quickly asked: "What did you say? What's the name of the warrior you just met?"
"His name is Tie Niu." The leader said again.
"Tie Niu? Is he the warrior wanted by the Tianhe Marquis?" Icicle asked with an excited smile.
"Yes, that's him. He looks exactly like the picture." The leader said.
"Where is he now?" Icicle asked directly.
"He's in the Tianyan Plains." The leader said softly.
"Hahaha, I didn't expect that I, Icicle, would meet Tie Niu. Even the heavens are helping me." Icicle laughed wildly.
In the next moment, Icicle got up from the rattan chair and hurried to a dark palace in the territory of the Icicle Bandits.
There was a small black altar in the palace.
Icicle walked up to the altar without hesitation and injected his Spiritual Qi into the altar. Suddenly, the altar emitted a black light.
"What's the matter?"
In the next moment, a wild aura came from the altar. Then, a hoarse voice came out.
"I found Tie Niu." Icicle said directly.
"Where?"
"In the Tianyan Plains." Icicle said.
"Okay, we'll send people over immediately. If it's true, we'll give you all the rewards you deserve." After the voice finished speaking, the altar fell silent again.
Icicle's face was full of excitement as he looked at the altar that was gradually falling silent.
He was very excited when he thought about the large amount of resources they would give him.
"This information is still useful."
Icicle pondered for a moment, then left the dark palace and came to a room in the Icicle Bandits' headquarters.
Icicle picked up a communication jade pendant and said, "I found Tie Niu's location."
After a second, the voice of Sky River Marquis came out of the communication jade pendant. "Five million Upper Grade Spirit Stones."
"In the Tianyan Plains." Icicle said.
"Okay, I'll contact you when I arrive. Five million Upper Grade Spirit Stones, not one less." Sky River Marquis said.
After cutting off the connection with Sky River Marquis, Icicle fell into a state of madness.
A piece of information actually allowed him to earn two portions of resources. This time, he was really rich. He might even be able to break through to the Condensing Reality Realm.
"Tie Niu, you can only blame yourself for appearing in my territory." Icicle said eerily.
Fang Chen had no idea that releasing the members of the Icicle Bandits would actually lead to such a thing.
He said goodbye to the girl and left the Tianyan Plains. After walking for about three hours, he suddenly stopped.
Because at this moment, he suddenly realized that the golden heart was suddenly beating rapidly, and it was wildly absorbing his Spirit Qi.
"What's going on?"
Fang Chen looked at the golden heart and was puzzled.
In the next moment, Fang Chen realized that the golden heart had started to transform again and needed a large amount of energy.
Fang Chen took out ten thousand Upper Grade Spirit Stones and threw them to the golden heart for it to absorb. After a while, the golden heart absorbed all ten thousand Upper Grade Spirit Stones and fell into silence.
"It's probably transforming."
Fang Chen was looking forward to it. Every time the golden heart transformed, it would give him a big surprise. He wondered what kind of surprise it would give him this time.
Because of the golden heart's transformation, Fang Chen couldn't move forward for the time being. So he found a small hill and sat down cross-legged, waiting for the golden heart to transform.
At that moment, Ancestor Bronze, who was still inside the python sword, suddenly said, "Kid, your heart is very strange."
"I've lived for so long, but I've never seen such a strange heart," Patriarch Bronze said softly.
Fang Chen didn't say anything. The golden heart was related to his secret, so he naturally wouldn't tell Ancestor Bronze.
Once the secret of the golden heart was revealed, it would definitely bring a bloody disaster to him.
While Fang Chen and Ancestor Bronze were chatting, two groups of people were rushing toward the Tianyan Plains from two different places.
On a certain plain, the Tianhe Marquis was rushing forward when he suddenly received news of the icicle. His face was full of smiles.
"Iron Bull, let's see where you run this time," said the Tianhe Marquis sinisterly.
He wasn't far from the Tianyan Plains. With his speed, he could reach it in at most a day. Even if Iron Bull continued to advance, he wouldn't be able to get far.
"This time, I'll definitely kill you."
While the Tianhe Marquis was rushing toward Fang Chen's location, in another hidden place, in a pitch-black cave.
"I've discovered news of Iron Bull. This time, the two of you will go and kill him. You must kill him at all costs," said the one-armed protector sinisterly.
During this time, the one-armed protector had been secretly searching for Iron Bull. Now that he had news of Iron Bull, he naturally wouldn't let it go.
Sending the two Yellow Spring Sect Hall Masters, who had recovered to their peak, would be enough to kill Iron Bull.
The Heavenly Hall Master and the Ghost Hall Master weren't the strongest among the 72 Hall Masters, but at their peak, they were stronger than the majority of the Martial Marquis List experts.
The one-armed protector believed that sending them to kill Fang Chen was foolproof.
After all, Fang Chen had only killed the Black River Marquis, who was ranked 72nd on the Martial Marquis List. There was nothing to fear.
