Just as Jianchen's group left Lore City, thousands of miles away in Yellow Pavilion City, the head of the Xiao family, Xiao Yun, sat on the main seat in the spacious meeting hall. Below him, there were more than a dozen young men kneeling. If Jianchen's group were here, they would definitely recognize them. These young men were the ones who tried to capture Qiu Yue in Iron Tower Village.
"Master, we have found out that these people offended the Fourth Young Master of Changyang Prefecture." A burly middle-aged man cupped his hands and said to the head of the Xiao family.
The head of the Xiao family, Xiao Yun, stared at the people below with a gloomy face. His sharp eyes made the young men not dare to look at him.
"Master, please spare us, please spare us. We didn't know that person was from Changyang Prefecture. We just saw a beautiful girl in the mountain village and wanted her to enter the Xiao family to serve the First Young Master. We did all this for the First Young Master."
"Master, please spare us, please spare us, we won't dare to do this again …"
"Patriarch, please give us a chance. Please let us go …"
The young men also knew that they had made a big mistake, so they all knelt there and begged for mercy.
Xiao Yun snorted and said, "Drag them out and break their legs."
"Yes!" The middle-aged man answered and then immediately asked a few guards to drag the young men out and break their legs.
"Tie them up and bring gifts. We will go to the mountain village to apologize to the villagers." The head of the Xiao family ordered again. The head of the Xiao family personally went to the countryside to apologize to the villagers. It was enough to show that the head of the Xiao family attached great importance to this matter.
…
The Cross Mountain Range was the largest Magic Beast Mountain Range in the Tianyuan Continent. It crossed the entire continent and almost divided the Tianyuan Continent into two. It occupied an extremely vast area.
Countless magical beasts lived in the Cross Mountains. It was a paradise for magical beasts, a place where they gathered. Most of the Class 6 Magical Beasts on the Tian Yuan Continent were gathered here. Only a small portion of them lived in the outside world. There was also a legend on the Tianyuan Continent. Not only did a large number of Class 6 Magic Beasts live in the depths of the Cross Mountain Range, there were even many Class 7 Magic Beasts that had already taken human form. It was a forbidden area for humans. None of the human experts who entered the depths of the Cross Mountain Range could come out alive.
As a result, the depths of the Cross Mountain Range had become a forbidden area in the hearts of humans thousands of years ago. Even Heaven Saint Masters did not dare to enter this forbidden area.
At this moment, in the depths of the Cross Mountain Range stood a three-meter-tall, bare-chested, middle-aged man. The middle-aged man was burly, and his upper body was embroidered with a layer of golden lines under the sun. His bronze muscles bulged high, and he was very well-developed. On his lower body, he only wore a pair of shorts that only covered his knees, and his feet were bare.
The middle-aged man's hands hung by his sides as he stood there hesitantly. The light in his eyes flickered as if he was making up his mind about something. He was standing at the border between the Cross Mountain Range and the outside world.
"I've already searched the depths of the Cross Mountain Range. There's no presence of the Winged Tiger at all. Even Rum Guinness' presence has vanished. Looks like Rum Guinness has left the depths of the Cross Mountain Range with the Winged Tiger long ago. They've gone to human territory. The only way to kill the Winged Tiger is to enter human territory," the middle-aged man muttered to himself as he frowned.
"Rum Guinness has already violated the treaty we made with the humans. Do I have to spread the news and let the humans deal with her?" The middle-aged man pondered, but soon shook his head and said, "No, this matter involves the ancient divine beast, the Winged Tiger. It's a matter of great importance. We can't let the humans know. Otherwise, if the humans tamed the Winged Tiger in its infancy, it would be a huge disaster for us magical beasts in the future. It looks like the Winged Tiger can't stay in human territory for long. We have to kill it as soon as possible. But once I step into human territory …" The middle-aged man's voice gradually faded away as a deep fear appeared in his eyes.
A moment later, the middle-aged man's eyes flashed. The light emitted from his eyes made the space in front of him tremble. He seemed to have finally made up his mind and said in a low voice, "Almost all of the human powerhouses are in seclusion. As long as I hide carefully, they won't find me." The middle-aged man suddenly stepped forward and crossed the border between the Cross Mountain Range and the outside world. Then his body shook slightly and shot forward at an incredible speed, disappearing in the blink of an eye.
… …
Two days later, at the border fortress of the Blue Wind Kingdom. A group of mercenaries escorted a large number of carriages into the fortress. In the crowd, seven Class 3 Magical Beasts were riding side by side. They followed the flow of people at a leisurely pace. Six men and one woman sat on the Magical Beasts. Although some of them wore simple clothes, they had an imposing appearance. With a glance, one could tell that they weren't ordinary people.
The surrounding people didn't dare to get too close to them. They all stayed far away from them, afraid that they would accidentally offend these people who were obviously not simple people with a single glance.
After two days of trekking, Jianchen's group finally arrived at the Blue Wind Kingdom. After entering the territory of the Blue Wind Kingdom, Jianchen's group didn't stop at all. They hurried on their way to Wake City.
The Class 3 Magical Beasts ran on the ground at an extremely fast speed. Along the way, they kicked up clouds of yellow dust. From afar, it looked like an earth dragon.
Just like this, after half a day of travel, Jianchen's group finally arrived at Wake City when the moon finally set in the west. At this time, it was already evening and the horizon was covered in a dusky color. In the distance, only a small portion of the fiery red sun was left outside. However, it still emitted a bright red light that illuminated half the sky.
At the wide city gates of Wake City, there were very few people going in and out. There were only a dozen tired looking soldiers guarding the city gates.
Jianchen's group slowly approached Wake City on their Magical Beast mounts. Seeing the damaged walls of Wake City because of the Magical Beasts, Jianchen's expression became complicated. There was a trace of nostalgia in his eyes.
Wake City. Although it was a small third grade city, Jian Chen's struggles and hard work had been left behind here. Here, Jian Chen had left behind far too many deep memories, fragments of memories of him growing up step by step.
Ming Dong and the others were also curiously sizing up the somewhat old walls of Wake City. Ming Dong suddenly opened his mouth and said, "Jianchen, your Mercenary Group isn't in this city right?"
Jianchen nodded and said, "They used to be, but it's been a while now. I don't know if they're still in Wake City."
As they spoke, Jianchen's group had already entered Wake City. They stopped a passerby and asked, "Brother, is the Raging Flame Mercenary Group still in Wake City?"
"That's a strange question. The Raging Flame Mercenary Group has always been stationed in Wake City. If they're not in Wake City, where else could they be?" The passerby looked at Jianchen with a strange expression.
Hearing this, Jianchen's face lit up and he said, "That's great. I didn't think that the Raging Flame Mercenary Group would still be in Wake City. I was worried that they would move elsewhere. Brother, may I know the exact location of the Raging Flame Mercenary Group?"
"They're in the Kai Clan's courtyard in the southwest." The passerby replied.
"Thank you for telling me!" Jianchen cupped his hands towards the passerby. Then he mounted his Class 3 Magical Beast mount and led the six of them towards the Kai Clan. .
At this moment, there was already a large group of tall and sturdy men gathered outside the Kai Clan's entrance. Each one of them had a murderous look on their faces. There were about two hundred of them.
In front of them stood three middle-aged men and an old man. The four of them stood side by side, blocking the entrance. Through the gaps between the four of them, one could vaguely see a large group of people gathered in the Kai Family courtyard. Each and every one of them had a serious expression on their faces, and their eyes were cold.
"One-armed man, your Heaven Defying Mercenary Group is going too far. Although our Raging Flame Mercenary Group is not as strong as before, we're not so easy to bully. Do you believe that we can make your Heaven Defying Mercenary Group suffer heavy losses before you destroy us?" The old man standing at the entrance stared at the group of people in front of him with a sharp gaze and said in a deep voice.
The middle-aged man standing at the very front, who only had one right arm, sneered and said, "Raging Flame Mercenary Group, if it was half a year ago, you might have had the ability to contend against our Heaven Defying Mercenary Group. But now, to be honest, I, the one-armed man, don't put you in my eyes. If you don't want to die, then obediently cooperate with us. From now on, you'll join our Heaven Defying Mercenary Group. Our Heaven Defying Mercenary Group will definitely not mistreat you."
"Hmph, the Heaven Defying Mercenary Group wants to swallow our Raging Flame Mercenary Group with just your Heaven Defying Mercenary Group? You must be dreaming. Our brothers of the Raging Flame Mercenary Group are not cowards who are afraid of death." The middle-aged man standing at the entrance of the Kai Clan's courtyard coldly said.
"Qingfeng, I, the one-armed man, know that you are not a coward who is afraid of death. You are a true man. I, the one-armed man, respect you, but your Raging Flame Mercenary Group is not a match for our Heaven Defying Mercenary Group. Why not join our Heaven Defying Mercenary Group and strengthen our Heaven Defying Mercenary Group together? Once we become the number one mercenary group in the Blue Wind Kingdom, all of you will have contributed greatly. From then on, you will enjoy endless glory and wealth. Why not? It's not worth it to lose your life over something like this." The one-armed man laughed.
"Hmph, if it wasn't for the fact that our Raging Flame Mercenary Group's leader isn't here, how could we allow your Heaven Defying Mercenary Group to run rampant in Wake City? We would have driven you out long ago." Mo Tian gnashed his teeth and said.
