Secretly, he circulated the Heaven Devouring Poison Skill and released a poison that caused one to fall into a deep slumber.
As the colorless and tasteless poison entered Zhan Ruxue's nose, his eyelids began to grow heavy. Soon after, his head felt heavy and his feet felt light. He slowly fell onto the table and fell into a deep slumber.
After Xiao Yang had confirmed that Zhan Ruxue had fallen into a deep slumber, he opened his eyes and a bright light flashed in them.
According to the investigation of his Divine Sense, he had already captured the people that the Liu family had contacted and were heading in the direction of the inn. Once they formed an encirclement and launched a surprise attack, unless his identity and cultivation strength were exposed, everyone, including Zhan Ruxue and himself, would die.
It was because of this tragic outcome that Xiao Yang had no choice but to resort to despicable means. He had drugged Zhan Ruxue and planned to carry out the operation alone.
"Brother Zhan, have a good rest. I'm going out for a while."
Xiao Yang stood up and spoke softly to Zhan Ruxue. Then, he opened the window and used his movement technique. His figure instantly disappeared from the spot.
He took out a piece of black cloth from his Storage Ring and covered his face. At the same time, he changed his aura and released his cultivation level without restraint. He was at the peak of the seventh level of a Martial Great Master, which was equivalent to a half-step to the eighth level of a Martial Great Master.
At the West City Gate.
A mercenary group called the Snake and Scorpion Mercenaries were pretending to be ordinary peasants as they entered the city. They were all dressed in peasant clothes. Some carried carrying poles while others carried large baskets. No one suspected their identity and no one recognized that they were the famous Snake and Scorpion Mercenaries.
There were seven or eight of them in total. The highest cultivation level was at the fourth level of a Martial Great Master while the lowest was a Martial Great Master.
"Boss, this time, we've mobilized all our forces. We'll definitely be able to snatch the Heavenly Flames from that kid. We can't let anyone else take advantage of us."
One of the lackeys smiled as he spoke to the leader.
The Liu family had already informed them of the specific operation plan. It was because they knew that fire-type demonic beasts and many demon hunters would participate in the operation that they dared to enter the Flame City openly and planned to snatch the Heavenly Flames.
"We'll act according to the circumstances. It's best to let the demon hunters and the Liu family fight until both sides are injured. Then, we'll sit back and reap the benefits."
The leader of the mercenaries confidently instructed.
"You're right, boss. We understand."
The lackeys communicated with each other through their eyes and quickly set the tone for this operation.
They had already entered Flame City and were taking a shortcut towards the inn. Their goal was obvious and their actions were decisive.
When they entered an alley, a figure covered in black cloth blocked their way. This person was Xiao Yang.
"Brat, you want to cause trouble? Why don't you take a look at who we are? Let me tell you, we are from the Snake Scorpion Mercenary Group. If you want to live, then scram. Otherwise, once we get angry, you won't be able to bear the consequences. "
The follower stood still and spoke to Xiao Yang, who was releasing his hostility.
The leader of the group also frowned and looked at Xiao Yang in confusion. Logically speaking, this operation was very confidential, and only a few of them knew about it. But why would someone intercept them here? Why would someone help Xiao Yang, Zhan Ruxue, and the others? Moreover, from the cultivation aura released by this person, he was very strong, strong to the point of reaching the heavens.
This made the leader of the mercenaries want to retreat.
They were here to reap benefits, not to throw away their lives.
"Son of a b * tch, do you know how to speak properly? Scram." The leader of the mercenaries glanced at the follower and slapped him. After asking the follower to leave, he looked at Xiao Yang and said, "Senior, I wonder what orders you have. Don't worry, we will take care of it for you."
Xiao Yang's lips curled into a smile and he said calmly, "We Yao Hunters will take care of this business. It won't be your turn to do it. If you know what's good for you, then scram from Flame City. Otherwise, don't blame me for being rude."
This time, Xiao Yang played the role of a Yao Hunter in order to intensify their internal conflict. This way, no one would be able to guess Xiao Yang's identity.
The leader of the mercenaries' expression turned ugly. Looking at Xiao Yang, he forced a smile and said softly, "Senior, the Yao Hunters, the mercenaries, the fire type beasts, and the Liu Family are all working together. This is something we have discussed long ago. Do you Yao Hunters plan to take all the benefits for yourselves? Then you will have to ask the others if they agree. "
Xiao Yang curled his lips. He was too lazy to explain too much to them. The time he could come out was not unlimited. Once Supervisor Zhang, Baldy Fang, and the others returned to the inn and didn't see him, they would definitely be suspicious.
He had to end this quickly.
"I gave you face, but you don't want it. What four working together? In this day and age, strength is everything. "
Xiao Yang coldly snorted. His expression was cold as he released the unique aura of a Yao Hunter. Then, he used the mental attack of the Traceless Dream. A majestic divine sense swept out like a tsunami, affecting the Sea of Knowledge of these mercenaries.
In less than half a blink of an eye, these mercenaries let out miserable screams. They held their heads with both hands and cried out in pain. Some of them even slammed into the ground and walls as if this could lessen the pain.
Xiao Yang took a deep breath and used his movement technique. He took a step and his figure instantly disappeared. In the next moment, it was as if he had split into seven or eight identical figures. Each of them attacked a heavily injured mercenary. With a palm strike, they directly crippled their cultivations.
Then, he directly used greater teleportation and threw them a hundred thousand feet away from Flame City.
After easily dealing with these mercenaries, Xiao Yang quickly left in another direction.
According to the probing of his divine sense, he already knew the direction of the Yao Hunters.
They were very close to the inn and had yet to make a move. They were just lurkers. Some were acting as street vendors, while others were acting as beggars. It was impossible to tell if they were real or fake.
Yao Hunters were basically independent individuals. They disdained to form groups. Unlike mercenaries, they were basically a team.
Even if there were five Yao Hunters acting together, their actions were independent. They were not under anyone's command nor were they influenced by anyone.
Xiao Yang laughed softly and pretended to be a buyer. He took the lead and walked in front of a Yao Hunter who was acting as a street vendor. He pretended to be buying something and then moved at lightning speed. His finger tapped a few times on the Yao Hunter's body and directly sealed his cultivation.
The Yao Hunter was only a third-level Martial Arts Grandmaster. Xiao Yang was four levels higher than him. Both parties had no chance of retaliating. It was a one-sided massacre.
After Xiao Yang dealt with the street vendor and the Yao Hunter, he got up and walked further away. He saw a very pitiful beggar. He hesitated for a moment and stopped in his tracks. After thinking for a while, he walked towards the beggar and took out some silver, intending to give it to the beggar.
