The caravan smoothly entered Wake City, and Jianchen officially parted ways with the Brotherhood Mercenary Group. After returning his mount to the Brotherhood Mercenary Group, he left by himself.
Seeing Jianchen gradually disappear into the crowd, Herdoff revealed a hesitant expression. He lowered his head and pondered for a moment. Then he gritted his teeth as if he had made up his mind about something. He turned to the Brotherhood Mercenary Group and said, "Brothers, when the goods are delivered to the destination, don't disperse. I have something to announce to everyone."
"Yes, Leader!"
The members of the Loyal Mercenary Group answered in unison. Although they were all very puzzled, no one asked.
… …
Jianchen leisurely strolled through the streets. He didn't know why, but he felt that the atmosphere in Wake City was more solemn than the last time he was here. It was as if something big was about to happen.
At this time, Jianchen passed by a restaurant. A fragrant smell wafted out of the restaurant and into Jianchen's nose.
Smelling the unique aroma that could only be found in food, Jian Chen stopped subconsciously before making his way into the restaurant. After living in the Huang Family Village for more than a month, Jianchen had only eaten simple tea and plain food. It had been a long time since he had eaten delicious food.
Under the warm greetings of the restaurant's waiter, Jianchen sat down at a table near the window and casually ordered some food.
It was almost noon, and the originally empty restaurant was soon full. A large group of tall and sturdy men sat in front of a table and talked loudly. The entire restaurant was in a clamor.
"I wonder when this wave of demonic beasts will come and how long it will last."
"The City Lord's Mansion has already announced that the demon beast wave will come in a few days. But according to the previous situation, the demon beast wave will last for a few to ten days."
At this time, a few conversations entered Jianchen's ears. Hearing this, Jianchen slightly frowned. After thinking for a while, he muttered, "Demon beast wave, could it be that the demon beasts in the Magical Beast Mountain Range are coming to besiege Wake City? No wonder I felt that the atmosphere in Wake City was much more solemn than before. "
After that, Jianchen sat in front of a table and ate while listening to the conversations of the people in the restaurant. From them, Jianchen obtained a lot of useful information.
"Hey, look, aren't those people from the Zhou Mercenary Group?"
A voice suddenly entered Jianchen's ears. When he heard this voice, Jianchen's hand froze in midair. He slightly raised his head and stared at the entrance of the restaurant. He saw four armored mercenaries walking in.
The armor of these four mercenaries was exactly the same. On the left side of their chest, there was an identical emblem. Aside from not wearing a helmet, they were exactly the same as the Zhou Mercenary Group that Jianchen met in the Magical Beast Mountain Range a year ago.
The four members of the Zhou Mercenary Group sat down at an empty table not too far away from Jian Chen. After ordering their food, they began to whisper to each other.
When the four of them walked in, the people in the restaurant immediately changed the topic of conversation to the Zhou Mercenary Group.
"I heard that the leader of the Zhou Mercenary Group, Zhou Yun, broke through from the High Level Saint Master realm to the Great Saint Master realm three months ago. With a Great Saint Master in the group, the Zhou Mercenary Group's strength is now much stronger than before. In Wake City, the Zhou Mercenary Group can do whatever they want."
"That's right. Ever since Zhou Yun broke through to the Great Saint Master realm, the Zhou Mercenary Group's strength has been rapidly increasing. Right now, their mercenary group already has over a hundred people. In addition, they have the support of the Zhou Clan behind them. I'm afraid that the Zhou Mercenary Group's strength can easily squeeze into the top three in the entire Wake City."
Many people in the restaurant were discussing in low voices. Although their voices were very soft, everyone present had a certain level of strength, so they could easily hear these discussions.
Hearing everyone talk about their mercenary group's achievements, the four Zhou Mercenary Group members sitting not far from Jianchen couldn't help but reveal a proud expression. In this small Wake City, a Great Saint Master was enough to be considered a peak expert. Their leader's strength had broken through to the Great Saint Master realm, and as a member of the Zhou Mercenary Group, their status had also skyrocketed.
"The Zhou Mercenary Group. I didn't think that I would meet you guys as soon as I arrived in Wake City." Jianchen's gaze was somewhat cold as he stared at the four Zhou Mercenary Group members. A strong killing intent flashed through his eyes.
Slowly putting down the chopsticks in his hand, Jianchen stood up and walked in front of the Zhou Mercenary Group members. His gaze swept over the four of them, and his voice was somewhat gloomy as he asked, "The four of you are from the Zhou Mercenary Group?"
Hearing this, the four Zhou Mercenary Group members' gazes all landed on Jianchen. From the tone of Jianchen's words, they could already tell that he didn't have good intentions. Their gazes immediately became somewhat fierce.
"That's right, we are from the Zhou Mercenary Group. Brat, who are you? Tell us your name." One of the Zhou Mercenary Group members with a somewhat explosive temper immediately shouted at Jianchen.
The four people from the Zhou Mercenary Group were originally the most popular table in the restaurant. Coupled with this person's angry shout, it immediately attracted the attention of some of the mercenaries who were eating in the restaurant. Everyone's eyes were gathered on the table of the Zhou Mercenary Group, ready to watch a good show.
"Hmph!" Jianchen coldly snorted. The corner of his mouth revealed a trace of a sinister smile. He didn't say anything else, and the silvery-white Light Wind Sword suddenly appeared in his right hand. With a flash of white light, the Light Wind Sword's sharp tip had already pierced through the Zhou Mercenary Group member's throat at an extremely fast speed.
Seeing that their companion's throat had already been pierced through, the other three Zhou Mercenary Group members were stunned for a moment. However, they quickly recovered and were all enraged.
"You dare to oppose our Zhou Mercenary Group? You're courting death!" Following an angry shout, the other three Zhou Mercenary Group members immediately took out their Saint Weapons and slashed towards Jianchen.
In a flash, the Light Wind Sword was pulled out from the Zhou Mercenary Group member's throat. Following that, a silvery-white sword light flashed. Just as the three Zhou Mercenary Group members were about to swing their Saint Weapons, the Light Wind Sword had already cut through two of their throats. Finally, it came to a stop at the neck of the last Zhou Mercenary Group member.
Seeing that his opponent's weapon was already at his neck, the last surviving mercenary hurriedly pulled back his Saint Weapon in fright. His face paled as he stared at Jian Chen's face that was only in his twenties in disbelief. He really found it hard to believe that with his current strength as a beginner Saint Master, he was actually not the opponent of this brat who seemed to be in his early twenties at most.
Turning his eyes slightly, the mercenary Group member's gaze moved towards the other two Zhou Mercenaries. All he saw was a streak of red liquid flowing out from their necks. Following that, the two Zhou Mercenaries' bodies simultaneously fell backwards.
Seeing this scene, the remaining Zhou Mercenary Group member was immediately scared to death. His heart was filled with panic as he hurriedly begged for mercy, "Don't kill me, don't kill me. Great hero, please spare my life. If you have something to say, we can talk it out. If you have something to say, please don't kill me. I'll do whatever you want me to do."
