After the goods were parked, it was free time for the mercenaries to move around. At the same time, it was also time for everyone to rest. However, because they had been traveling day and night without rest for the past few days, everyone was very tired. So when everyone was dismissed, they scattered. Most of them didn't even have time to eat and found a restaurant to sleep. Some of them who were injured also hurried to treat their injuries.
Jianchen tied up his horse and glanced around. Finally, he stopped at the back of a person wearing simple clothes. Then, he cautiously looked around and finally walked towards the back of the person.
Jianchen came to the back of the person wearing simple clothes and said in a low voice, "Mu Yun, the fact that you have a combat skill has been known by many mercenaries. Now, you should take this opportunity to leave quickly. Otherwise, I'm afraid that they will do something unfavorable to you."
Hearing Jianchen's words, Mu Yun looked back at Jianchen and said with a smile, "Don't worry, it's not that easy to get my combat skill."
Hearing this, Jianchen frowned.
Xiao Chen frowned slightly and gave Mu Yun a deep look. He smiled faintly and said, "Since that is the case, I will not waste any more words." Speaking up to here, Jianchen paused for a moment and then continued, "Since we have successfully arrived at the Blue Wind Kingdom, then I will also leave the mercenary group. We won't be able to travel together for the rest of the journey. Brother Mu Yun, take care." Jianchen cupped his fist at Mu Yun. Although it was the first time that Jianchen and Mu Yun met, the two of them had a good relationship and could talk to each other. Moreover, in order to save Jianchen, Mu Yun exposed the fact that he had a combat skill. Therefore, in Jianchen's heart, Mu Yun had a good impression. However, this was not enough for Jianchen to include Mu Yun in his list of friends.
"You also take care!" Mu Yun also cupped his fist and replied.
"Two friends, are you planning to leave? Everyone has worked hard along the way. We have already prepared good food and wine. Why don't we all have a good meal together? "At this moment, a deep voice suddenly came. A big man wearing black clothes walked towards Jianchen and Mu Yun with a smile on his face.
Looking at this big man, Jianchen was slightly stunned, but he quickly recovered and immediately cupped his fist, "So it's Leader Lang Tian!" In the past few days, Jian Chen had become much more familiar with the people of these three mercenary groups. As for the large man in black, he was precisely the leader of the mercenary group, Lang Tian. He was a Great Saint Master expert.
As soon as he saw Leader Lang Tian, Mu Yun also put down what he was doing and cupped his fist towards Leader Lang Tian with a smile, which could be considered as a greeting.
"My two friends, may I know how to address you? It's really our fault that we were attacked by the Boundless Bandits this time. Fortunately, we managed to repel the Boundless Bandits in the end. During this period of time, we have to thank the both of you for your help. Otherwise, I'm afraid our casualties would have been even greater." Leader Lang Tian had a gentle smile on his face, looking like a kind uncle.
"I'm Jianchen. Leader Lang Tian, you're too polite. This time, we were able to successfully repel the Boundless Bandits because Leader Lang Tian led the team to kill the experts in the opposing camp." Jianchen had a faint smile on his face as he replied with a light chuckle.
"I'm Mu Yun. Brother Jianchen is right. This time, we were able to successfully repel the Boundless Bandits because Leader Lang Tian killed the experts in the opposing camp. Otherwise, I'm afraid that even we wouldn't have a chance to survive." Mu Yun also said with a smile.
After hearing Jianchen and Mu Yun's words, a look of shame flashed across Leader Lang Tian's eyes, but he quickly concealed it. He then said, "Jianchen, Mu Yun, these two friends are too polite. No matter what the final result is, I still want to thank you on behalf of the entire Lang Tian Mercenary Group. These days, everyone was worried that the Boundless Bandits would catch up to them, so we've been hurrying along day and night. It's really been hard on the two of you. Now that we've prepared good food and wine, why don't we all have a good meal and then have a good rest for a few days to ease the fatigue of these days?"
"Alright. These days, I've been eating rations all day. I've almost forgotten what meat tastes like. It just so happens that I'm planning to have a good meal later. Since Leader Lang Tian has already prepared food and wine, I'll save on the cost of a meal." Mu Yun very straightforwardly agreed. He then looked at Jianchen and said, "Brother Jianchen, why don't we go together? These days, you've been eating rations all day. I'm sure you're tired of it."
Hearing this, Jianchen shook his head slightly and said, "I appreciate Leader Lang Tian's kindness, but I still have important matters to attend to, so I have to leave immediately. I won't be able to accompany you brothers to drink. If I've offended you in any way, I hope Leader Lang Tian can forgive me."
A trace of regret appeared on Leader Lang Tian's face. However, since Jianchen had already said so, he couldn't continue to urge him to stay. He could only cup his hands and say, "Since Brother Jianchen has important matters to attend to, then I won't delay Brother Jianchen's time to avoid disturbing you."
Afterwards, Jianchen directly left after bidding farewell to Leader Lang Tian. For a mercenary like him who had joined the caravan midway, his freedom was not restricted in any way. Therefore, Jianchen could leave whenever he wanted. There was no need for him to report to anyone.
Not long after Jianchen left, Leader Lang Tian, who was dressed in black, gathered with several mercenaries in a room of a restaurant. They were discussing something in low voices.
"Kabu, are you sure that the mercenary called Mu Yun had a battle skill on him?" The one who spoke was a middle-aged man wearing a white gown who was sitting beside Leader Lang Tian. The middle-aged man had a medium build. His long black hair was tied behind his head with a string. On his bronze skin, there was an exceptionally sinister wound. From the blood scars that had yet to completely fall off, it was very obvious that this wound had been inflicted recently.
"Yes, Leader Bai Feiyun. When that mercenary called Mu Yun used his battle skill, many people here saw it. It definitely wasn't fake." A mercenary immediately opened his mouth to reply.
"Yes, Leader Bai Feiyun, Leader Lang Tian. I believe that as long as our brothers who survived this matter, they can all testify to this matter. Mu Yun definitely used a battle skill, and it was a battle skill of quite a high grade." Someone immediately agreed.
Originally, these mercenaries would have reported such an important matter long ago. Unfortunately, at that time, they could have encountered the Boundless Bandits' troops at any time. It was uncertain whether they would be able to keep their lives. Therefore, at that time, no one cared about the battle skill. After all, even if you obtained a battle skill, if you did not have the life to enjoy it, then in the end, it would all be for naught.
But now, it was different. They had entered the Blue Wind Kingdom, which meant that they were temporarily safe. At this time, they finally spoke of the battle skill that Mu Yun possessed.
Although they were a group of mercenaries, the living environment of the Tian Yuan Continent was extremely cruel. Even some mercenaries would act like bandits when they saw something that made them jealous. Things like this were not uncommon on the Tian Yuan Continent.
Hearing the words of the two mercenaries, the other people in the room frowned at the same time.
The middle-aged man in a white robe looked at Leader Lang Tian, who was dressed in black, and said, "Leader Lang Tian, what do you think about this matter?"
Leader Lang Tian frowned and thought for a while. Then, he slowly opened his mouth and said, "I think Mu Yun himself should know that the matter of his battle skill has been leaked. But what I don't understand is, with his strength as a Great Saint, after knowing that the matter of his battle skill has been leaked, why didn't he choose to escape from here at the first moment? Instead, he continued to stay with us. Isn't he afraid that we will have designs on his battle skill?"
"Taking a step back, even if he believes us, isn't he worried that the matter of his battle skill will be leaked from our mouths? It will cause him endless trouble and even cause him to lose his life. " Leader Lang Tian analyzed. Although he looked more like a simple-minded burly man, he was not stupid at all.
"If that's the case, then this mercenary named Mu Yun is either an idiot with a screw loose in his head, or he has something to rely on that makes him so fearless." The middle-aged man in the white robe muttered to himself.
Hearing this, Leader Lang Tian spoke again, "I've been in contact with Mu Yun before. In my opinion, Mu Yun is not an idiot with a problem in his head. Moreover, he seems to be an experienced veteran mercenary. How could such a person make such a fatal mistake?"
"Do any of you know the origin of this Mu Yun?" The middle-aged man in a white robe continued to ask.
"This Mu Yun joined us midway and traveled with us. As for his background, we don't know. After all, some mercenaries who want to travel long distances will almost always join a caravan to ensure a smooth journey. For such a person, it's not good for us to get to the bottom of the matter." The one who spoke was a middle-aged man in a green robe. His face was slightly pale. If Jianchen were present, he would definitely recognize this middle-aged man with a single glance. He was the person who had agreed to let him travel with the caravan in the Kingdom of Gesun.
The mercenaries in the room fell silent. After a while, a mercenary finally could not help but ask, "Leader, are we going to do it or not? If we successfully obtain the battle skill, it'll be quite the fortune for us. Even if we don't use it, if we sell it, it'll definitely fetch an astronomical price with how precious battle skills are on the Tian Yuan Continent. Moreover, this battle skill is of quite a high grade."
"Leader, why don't we take a gamble?" Another mercenary suggested as eagerness flickered in his eyes.
Leader Lang Tian frowned, but he did not agree immediately. Instead, he looked at the middle-aged man in white robes beside him and asked, "Leader Bai Yunfei, may I ask if you have any ideas about this matter?"
The middle-aged man who was referred to as leader Bai Yunfei frowned. The light in his eyes flickered as he hesitated.
After a long moment of thought, Bai Yunfei finally spoke. "Captain Lang Tian, I'm sure you remember when we were fighting with the Boundless Bandits a few days ago. In the end, there was a mysterious person who helped us from the shadows, right?" Bai Yunfei's voice was heavy with emotion.
The expressions of the mercenaries in the room changed slightly when they heard what leader Bai Yunfei had said. Apart from the five people who had returned, no one else knew about what had happened, so they naturally did not know. Originally, these mercenaries believed that the Boundless Bandits had been killed by their leader and a few other experts working together. However, it seemed that this was not the case at all.
