"Thank you!" Yuan Ye bowed his head, but didn't go in. "Big brother, it's so late and still raining heavily, are you going out?"

  "Hehe, the newly appointed governor is re-selecting officials, and today the list of successful candidates was announced. I'll go take a look. Brother, have you noticed that our Gucheng City hasn't had any rain for several months, but it's raining today? Is this an omen that I might return empty-handed?"

  Yuan Ye was taken aback, suddenly thinking of a sentence: "Last night I heard the sound of rain, travelers asked about the journey ahead. Dazed and confused, but only said, ding dong ding dong..."

  "Don't worry, big brother, this rain isn't just for you." Yuan Ye smiled slightly and then shot up into the sky, ignoring the middle-aged man's shocked expression behind him, flying directly towards the governor's mansion.

  In the state capital, a sixty-year-old man in a green robe was sitting in the position of the state master. This old man was also a martial emperor, and when the martial emperors in Gu Yang City were almost wiped out, he was sent by Wu Song from elsewhere to become the new state master. The old man had strong abilities and great talent for governing the city, and after coming here after the great disaster of Gu Yang City, his governance ability could also be seen.

  "What? Where is Jiang Yuanfeng?" Yuan Ye's sudden appearance startled the old man in green robes.

  "He has arrived right before us, and I didn't notice at all. A master, an absolute master!" The old man's thoughts were racing, not daring to slack off, immediately saying, "Jiang Yuanfeng was taken away by Wushuang a month ago, and I temporarily took over as the lord of Gūyáng State."

  "Take away? Why?" Yuan Ye frowned and asked immediately.

  "The old man immediately replied, 'I don't know what's going on down there, I just vaguely heard something about a map.'"

  "A map!?" Yuan Ye was taken aback, and as he regained his composure, he felt a connection to the map that was like a blood oath. At the time, Yuan Ye hadn't paid much attention to it, but now that the old man in green robes mentioned it, Yuan Ye suddenly became interested.

  "I have 100,000 gold coins here, please take them out for the construction of Valley City, it's also my first step to atone for my sins. Where can I save more people?" Yuan Ye's spatial ring lit up, and 100,000 gold coins appeared instantly, illuminating the entire hall. The 100,000 gold coins were equivalent to 80 million, which was the money Yuan Ye had won back when he gambled on himself. Now, he gave it all to Valley City.

  "Give 800 million, and still want to save more people?" The old man in the green robe listened and immediately admired Yuan Ye, "To save more people, we must go to where the most people die. On the edge of Lieyan Continent and Bingpo Continent, there are battles every day. Those masters themselves don't die easily, they can fly thousands of miles, and if they accidentally flew to that small city, one big move might take away the lives of tens of thousands of people. It's just that the intersection of the two continents is too dangerous, even the legendary masters have a high probability of death."

  "The border area between the Blazing Continent and the Frostbite Continent. Alright, from today on, I'll change my name to Redemption, hoping to save more people and comfort my own soul." Yuan Ye said as he swung his sleeve and flew out directly.

  Above the sky, Yuan Ye rapidly flew towards the intersection of the two continents. At the same time, with a movement of his mind, thousands of miles away, in a secret room within Hope City, a middle-aged man with double pupils and six fingers on each hand looked at the map in his hand flying quickly, but without any intention to stop him.

  "Wu Song, look, I told you so. This map has indeed been claimed by someone who shed blood on it first. That person is Yuan Ye. I originally wanted to present the map to you, but once a treasure is claimed with blood, its owner's thoughts will summon it back to their side. We can't stop it even if we try... So..." In front of these two men stood a middle-aged man heavily restrained by iron chains, and this man was none other than Yuan Ye's arch-nemesis Jiang Yuanfeng. And the person Jiang Yuanfeng faced was Cui Zhihao's master, the Tian Sheng-level expert Wu Song.

  "So... so you've been hiding for five months, waiting for Ben Sheng to come and get you himself?" Wu Song sneered.

  "Th...th..." Jiang Yuanfeng was speechless.

  "You say Yuan Ye can defeat three Martial Emperors without being defeated. Although you haven't seen him, it seems he also has the strength of Tian Sheng. I will find an opportunity to deal with him. As for you, how dare you secretly keep my disciple's treasured item? I want you to cripple your cultivation and make you wish you were dead!"

  "Senior, senior!" Jiang Yuanfeng's face turned pale white as he wanted to call for help, but Wu Cong directly walked out of the secret room. At the same time, outside the secret room, two men with detestable faces and fat upper bodies walked in. These two men were Wu Cong's subordinates who specialized in punishing people, their methods making it impossible for one to live or die. On the surface, Wu Cong was a fierce warrior, but in private, he was extremely cruel and brutal. Cui Zhihao had killed nearly a thousand pregnant women, all on his orders. Now that Wu Cong had finally opened the treasure's seal after much difficulty, but it was obtained by Yuan Ye, Wu Cong would certainly take action against Yuan Ye.

  On the other side, Yuan Ye had already obtained the treasure map. At the same time, due to the Blood Covenant, he also had an understanding of this treasure map. The treasure map of the divine artifact Shooting Sun Divine Bow was obtained by a quasi-sage, but unfortunately that quasi-sage died before having a chance to search for the treasure. Before his death, the quasi-sage divided the treasure map into six pieces and set up layer upon layer of seals. Yuan Ye had obtained the third piece of the treasure map.

  "Xiao Qiang said that his spatial ring also had a treasure map of the Solar Arrow, unfortunately, his spatial ring was sealed by someone and he couldn't retrieve it. This means there are still four pieces with unknown whereabouts, which I can sense the general location of. Forget it for now, let's head to the intersection of the two continents." Yuan Ye thought for a moment before speeding up.

  The land of Lianyue and the land of Bingpo intersect, this is the most famous place in the entire Xuanji border. The chaos and killing here have reached an unimaginable level. No matter who you are, no matter what you did before, as long as you are from the opposing continent, you can be surrounded and killed directly without any reason.

  The places where the two continents intersect are actually not many. The Lihuo Continent only has three states, Guyang, Fenxiang, and Bianxia, that border the Bingpo Continent, while the Bingpo Continent also only has four states at the intersection. However, if you think that the places of slaughter are only this much, then you are greatly mistaken. The two continents are so vast and open, apart from the land borders, there is also the boundless ocean that stretches for tens of thousands of miles. Land has boundaries, clear divisions, but the ocean is not easy to divide, it's unclear who belongs where, making the slaughter between the two continents even more brutal.

  At this moment, the sea surface less than a thousand miles away from Guyangzhou is blown up by strong winds to form tens of meters high waves. The waves are rushing towards the mainland like a vast expanse of land, with another huge wave behind them, pushing forward in an extraordinary spectacle! Above the sea, the sky is clear and cloudless, with faint clouds drifting lazily. Occasionally, a few seagulls fly by.

  Above the sea surface, among the clouds, a figure in a long blue shirt slowly flew by.

  The notorious demon's evil reputation precedes him, so Yuan Ye knows that going to find Rui Xi and the others now would only drag down these closest people. Therefore, Yuan Ye can only proceed alone. Since this borderland is where the most people have died, then Yuan Ye will come here to rescue them.

  "Redemption" is now Yuan Ye's name.

  "My goodness, how can we fly for over ten miles without seeing a single person, not even a small village? I'm here to rescue people, but there's not even a feather, what's the point of rescuing anything?" Yuan Ye muttered to himself.
