Chapter 486: Chapter 285: The Sun and Moon High in the Sky, the Prince Patrols the Heavens!
Simulator Forum.
As the largest virtual platform in the Main World, the various functions of the forum are extremely well-developed.
Besides daily uses like shopping, chatting, forming groups, and virtual combat, there’s also a black market specifically for gray transactions.
After all, where there’s demand, there’s a market.
Although everyone in the Simulator Forum uses aliases.
Some people with prestigious identities or powerful strength, even when hiding their identities, are still easily recognized.
And sometimes they need someone to help with dirty work or to purchase contraband that can’t be found in the Simulation Mall.
Over time, this formed a black market.
In the black market section, everyone remains anonymous, and even the Great Yan Empire has no right to view others’ identities.
For this reason,
many simulators consider the black market a paradise for trading and gold-digging, and even most King-Sealing Giants frequently keep an eye on black market trends.
As for the Will of the Heavens’ attitude towards the black market, it turns a blind eye.
As long as it’s not overdone, it won’t interfere too much.
Lu Yuan just opened the black market interface and saw bounty information anonymously posted by other simulators.
[Ten billion simulation points, bounty for the head of a Tier Six Town General, for those with the strength!]
This message was highlighted in black and red font, making it particularly striking.
Many novice simulators, seeing this, had their eyes redden, and even their breathing became heavy.
It’s known that 1 point of simulation points in the Main World is equivalent to 10,000 currency units.
Ten billion simulation points is equivalent to ten trillion currency units!
Not just those novice simulators, even Lu Yuan was slightly tempted.
However, beneath this message, an enthusiastic veteran immediately pointed out the issues within.
"A Town General is powerful enough to hold ground for a king, even within a Royal Blood Family, they are the mainstay, and this price is too low."
"Not to mention, there are differences in strength even among Town Generals."
"Without any information, you’re deliberately fooling others into a death trap?"
Many simulators calmed down after reading this analysis.
The enthusiastic veteran was right.
Some seasoned Town Generals have honed their powers at this realm for hundreds of years.
Their combat power is nearly comparable to that of a King-Sealing Giant.
If one were to rashly accept this task without understanding, wouldn’t that be courting death?
But it must be said.
The black market vividly showcases the adage "money makes the mare go."
If one is willing to pay a high enough price, even King-Sealing Giants can be targeted!
However, any King-Sealing Giant is a renowned powerhouse in this era.
Wanting to hire someone to kill a King would require a price so high that even Lu Yuan at this moment finds it hard to bear.
After browsing the market and observing a while to determine rough prices,
only then did Lu Yuan spend 100 million simulation points to post a bounty for information and intelligence on the Blood God Sect.
After all, Evil God Cultists lack simulation qualifications and cannot enter the Simulator Forum.
Moreover, many simulators in the black market were also offering bounties for information on the Blood God Sect.
These people either had past grievances with the Blood God Sect or had set their sights on the heavily injured and dying Blood God Pope, wanting to seize this opportunity for fortune.
Lu Yuan, mingling among these messages, didn’t worry about exposure.
Before long,
someone privately messaged Lu Yuan: "I know the whereabouts of the Blood God Pope and the remnants of the sect."
"How can you guarantee the authenticity of the information?"
Lu Yuan inquired.
The other party did not speak but directly sent a segment of footage.
In the footage.
The ground was soaked with thick blood light, slowly surging like viscous tides.
From afar, it looked like a blood lake, reflecting the sky in crimson.
Even across the screen, Lu Yuan could sense a heavy smell of blood wafting towards him.
Where the blood lake passed, flowers, stones, grass, and trees along the way seemed robbed of all vitality and charm, crumbling into dust.
"Is this the domain of the Blood God Pope?"
Lu Yuan half-doubtfully asked.
Under normal circumstances,
a King-Sealing Giant’s King’s Domain spans at least a thousand miles, yet the blood lake in the footage was less than a hundred miles in area.
If this were truly related to the Blood God Pope,
it would mean he was heavily injured, severely weakened, and probably on his last breath.
"I personally witnessed this scene from afar a few days ago while passing through a particular locale,"
"If you wish to strike against the Blood God Sect, I can provide you with the exact location."
The other party stated openly.
"How can you be sure the Blood God Pope will remain in place? What if he’s already left?"
Lu Yuan asked again.
"You’re quite cautious in handling matters,"
The other party chuckled, an old-fashioned air about him.
"Rest assured, the Blood God Pope cannot escape."
"See that blood lake? His injuries are too severe; he’s lost control over his King’s Domain and can only remain in place, waiting for death!"
"If I didn’t wish to invite complications or entangle cause and effect, I would have acted myself long ago."
After some explanation from the other party, Lu Yuan finally understood.
The King’s Domain of a King-Sealing Giant is a world unto itself, akin to a simulator’s small world.
It can be absorbed into one’s body or placed outside in the world.
But the Blood God Pope’s King’s Domain has already spiraled out of control; he can’t retract it, so where else can he run?
At the same time, Lu Yuan immediately realized that the person trading with him had a deep understanding of the information, clearly another King-Sealing Giant!
After confirming the authenticity of the intelligence, Lu Yuan completed the transaction immediately.
And according to black market rules, once a deal is completed, the other party cannot resell this intelligence to others.
