Jianchen's expression instantly became gloomy, his cold eyes filled with a strong killing intent. He immediately turned around and led everyone towards the city lord's mansion.
Seeing Jianchen's sudden change in expression, Kyle and the other three felt very puzzled. They didn't understand what had happened to make Jianchen's expression become so ugly.
Although they were very puzzled, the four of them didn't dare to ask Jianchen anything when they saw his gloomy expression. They could only quietly follow behind Jianchen.
The city lord's mansion was located in the center of Wake City. Jianchen and the others were riding on Class 3 Magical Beast mounts as they passed through the busy streets, attracting many curious and envious gazes. In this small Wake City, Class 3 Magical Beast mounts were already very rare. Normally, it was very difficult to even see one. Now that there were seven of them, they naturally became the focus of attention on the streets, causing many passersby and mercenaries to discuss in low voices.
"They're able to ride Class 3 Magical Beast mounts at such a young age. And look at the clothes they're wearing, they're all high quality goods. These people must be disciples of some large family."
"Look, look, the girl walking in the middle is so beautiful. She's like a fairy from the heavens. I, Buttface, swear that she's the most beautiful girl I've ever seen in my life. She's so beautiful that I'm almost suffocating."
"Eh? Aren't the four people walking at the back the four leaders of the Flame Mercenaries? Strange, no matter how I look at them, they seem to be servants."
"I just heard that the leader of the Raging Flame Mercenary Group suddenly returned last night. Could it be that one of the people riding Class 3 Magical Beast mounts is the leader of the Raging Flame Mercenary Group?"
"I heard that the leader of the Raging Flame Mercenary Group is very strong and very young. Could that be the youth walking in the front?"
"I heard someone say this morning that the leader of the Heaven-Defying Mercenary Group, One-armed Hero, was killed by the leader of the Flame Mercenary Group. The other experts were also killed by the Flame Mercenary Group. Now, the Heaven-Defying Mercenary Group has disbanded. I just don't know if it's true …"
Jianchen's group rode their Class 3 Magical Beast mounts through the streets in a high profile manner. Everywhere they passed, a buzz of discussion could be heard. However, Jianchen's group turned a deaf ear to this phenomenon. They were already used to being the center of attention.
Jianchen's group quickly arrived at the city lord's estate. Kyle immediately went up to negotiate with the guards at the gates, "The captain of our Flame Mercenaries has come to pay a visit to the city lord. Quickly notify him!"
The Raging Flame Mercenary Group was very famous in Wake City. When the guards at the gate heard that the leader of the Raging Flame Mercenary Group had personally come, they didn't dare to be negligent. They immediately sent out a few people to respectfully invite them in and inform the city lord at the same time.
When the city lord received news that Jianchen had personally come, he hurriedly put down the matters at hand and personally came out to greet them. After exchanging a few pleasantries, Jianchen's group was warmly invited into the main hall by the city lord.
"Brother Jianchen, I didn't think that you would actually personally come to my city lord's estate. Your presence brings light to my humble dwelling." The city lord chuckled, his expression incomparably warm.
Jianchen's gloomy expression had already returned to normal. He faintly smiled, "I wouldn't have come without a reason. This time, I came because I have a matter that I hope the city lord can help me with."
"Hahahaha, brother Jianchen, you're too polite. If there's anything you need from me, please don't hesitate to ask. With our friendship, there's no need to be so polite." The city lord laughed heartily.
Jianchen muttered to himself for a while before saying, "Sir city lord, a few days ago, our Flame Mercenary Group obtained a Class 5 Magical Beast cub. Unfortunately, it was stolen by a powerful and mysterious person at night. Furthermore, that person even killed one of our founding members. Although our Flame Mercenary Group has spent a great deal of effort to find this mysterious person's whereabouts, we haven't found the slightest clue. Thus, I hope that sir city lord can assist our Flame Mercenary Group in finding the culprit as soon as possible!"
"No problem. Brother Jianchen, don't worry. I'll immediately send people to search the entire city and do my best to help you find the culprit." The city lord waved his large hand and agreed without hesitation to cooperate with Jianchen in finding the culprit.
"Then I'll have to trouble you, sir city lord." Jianchen cupped his hands and smiled.
The city lord chuckled, "It's no trouble at all. Brother Jianchen, I, Yun Li, am older than you by twenty years. If you don't mind, let's call each other brothers. In the future, if brother Jianchen needs anything from me, I'll definitely do my best to help you."
Hearing those words, Kyle, Qingfeng, Mo Tian, and Charles all snorted inwardly. Their gazes towards the city lord were filled with disdain.
Although they didn't know what realm Jianchen's strength had reached, since Jianchen could even take out a Heaven Tier Battle Skill, his strength couldn't be underestimated. The position of such an expert was completely different from that of a mere city lord like Yun Li.
"Sir city lord, let's talk about other matters after we find the culprit. This culprit killed one of my Raging Flame Mercenaries' senior figures. No matter who he is, I, Jianchen, will definitely not let him off. So right now, I'm in a hurry to find this culprit." Jianchen's tone was indifferent. It was equivalent to rejecting City Lord Yun Li's offer.
Although he was rejected by Jianchen, City Lord Yun Li wasn't angry at all. He smiled and said, "Since brother Jianchen is in such a hurry to find the culprit, then I'll definitely do my best to help you. At least in Wake City, there's nothing that I can't solve." After saying that, City Lord Yun Li immediately found a soldier and said with a serious expression, "Quickly go and inform Commander Duo Li. Have him lead a group of city guards to search the entire Wake City. Pay close attention to any unknown foreign experts."
"This subordinate obeys!" The soldier replied and then retreated.
"Wait!" Jianchen suddenly opened his mouth, "Sir city lord, there's no need to go through so much trouble to find the culprit. That mysterious expert is wearing a mask and none of us know what he looks like. However, one thing we can be sure of is that the mysterious expert is after the Class 5 Magical Beast's young. So, we should focus our efforts on finding the Class 5 Magical Beast's young. That way, we'll have a much bigger target."
"That's right, that's right!" City Lord Yun Li said in agreement, "Brother Jianchen is really smart. You came up with such a good idea so quickly. This way, the difficulty of finding the culprit will be much lower. Since the mysterious expert is after the Class 5 Magical Beast, he definitely won't abandon it. As long as we find the Class 5 Magical Beast, we'll find the culprit."
"Sir city lord is right. As long as we find the Class 5 Magical Beast, we'll find the culprit who killed the Senior Elders of the Raging Flame Mercenaries. Sir city lord, you're the most well-informed. I wonder if you've heard anything about the Class 5 Magical Beast in the past few days?" Jianchen stared closely at City Lord Yun Li as he smiled.
City Lord Yun Li's expression was very natural. He sighed and said, "Brother Jianchen, you think too highly of me. Although I'm well-informed, I can't find out everything. As for the matter of the Class 5 Magical Beast, I don't know. Perhaps the person who stole it has already left Wake City."
"Left Wake City? Really? "Jianchen muttered in a low voice. A cold light flashed in his eyes as he said," Everyone, follow me! "After saying that, Jianchen walked out of the hall without greeting City Lord Yun Li.
Seeing Jianchen's departing figure, City Lord Yun Li's expression changed a few times before he quickly regained his calm. He hurriedly chased after him, enthusiastically urging him to stay, "Brother Jianchen, why are you leaving so quickly? You're too lazy to come here, so why don't you stay for a while? I'll immediately prepare a banquet to celebrate Brother Jianchen's triumphant return from Mercenary City."
"Who said I'm leaving? I just want to walk around a bit. City Lord Yun Li, if you don't mind, why don't you accompany me for a walk?" Jianchen said expressionlessly, his tone suddenly becoming cold.
"Haha, then let this old brother be Brother Jianchen's guide. Brother, the garden is over there, let's go sit there." After saying that, City Lord Yun Li pulled on Jianchen's arm and tried to pull him towards the garden.
Jianchen's arm shook lightly, shaking off City Lord Yun Li's hand as he said, "Who said I'm going to the garden? City Lord Yun Li, it's better for you to stay by my side quietly." Jianchen didn't even look at City Lord Yun Li, his tone became very cold as he directly walked towards a small building.
City Lord Yun Li's expression also became somewhat ugly after hearing Jianchen's words, but when he saw the direction Jianchen was heading, a trace of shock flashed through his eyes. He hurriedly chased after him and said, "Brother Jianchen, that's where I rest, what are you doing there?"
This time, Jianchen didn't pay any attention to City Lord Yun Li. City Lord Yun Li wanted to stop Jianchen from approaching his bedroom, but how could he stop Jianchen's footsteps?
City Lord Yun Li seemed to be angered by Jianchen's actions, the smile on his face had completely disappeared. He looked at Jianchen with an ugly expression and said, "Jianchen, what do you want to do? State your intentions."
"You'll know in a moment." Jianchen sneered, and at this time, he had already arrived in front of the small building. He directly kicked open the door and strode in.
City Lord Yun Li's expression changed greatly as he moved to block Jianchen and shouted, "Jianchen, what is the meaning of this? This is my city lord's mansion, how can I let you do as you please!"
Jianchen sneered, and his hand made a grasping motion, and a majestic world's Yuan Qi quickly gathered in his hand. Then before City Lord Yun Li could react, he suddenly bombarded the ground.
With a loud bang, the whole ground shook violently, and dust filled the room, blocking everyone's vision.
A gust of wind blew through the room, carrying away all the dust. When everyone's vision became clear, they saw that in the center of the room, there was a dark hole that led to the basement.
Seeing this hole, City Lord Yun Li's expression changed greatly, and his whole body became sluggish.
Jianchen looked at City Lord Yun Li with a sharp gaze and coldly snorted, "Kyle, Qingfeng, Charles, Mo Tian, the four of you go in!"
"Yes!" Kyle and the other three responded and jumped into the hole at the same time, entering the basement.
