The one walking at the front should be the leader of the Wolf's Fang Troop, Cang Lang. He was a burly warrior. Behind him was a heavy crossbow that was almost as tall as a person. The crossbow was black in color, and it was shining with a light that was not inferior to the sun.
The one in the middle was a female hunter, and an extremely outstanding one at that. She was not even thirty years old, and was at the most attractive age for a woman. She had brown hair and held a magic scepter in her hand. There were four magic soul stones embedded on the magic scepter.
Behind the female hunter was a male hunter who looked a little pale. Among the three of them, he was the youngest.
When he saw Yun Canglang and his niece sitting in the middle of the tavern, the male hunter's eyes almost spat fire. He subconsciously pressed on the scabbard on his waist, but his hand was pushed away by the female mage beside him with her magic scepter.
When Yun Canglang was sizing up the three people from the Wolf's Fang Troop, Cang Lang and the deputy leader of the Wolf's Fang Troop, who was also the female hunter Huo Nu, were also observing Yun Canglang.
When they realized that the other party only brought a hunter as an assistant to negotiate, that there were no ambushes near the tavern, and that the Martial Sage of Zhou State, Yun Bahe, was not nearby, the two of them relaxed a little. At the same time, their impression of Yun Canglang was much better.
It was rumored that Yun Canglang, one of the two heroes of Zhou State's military, was a righteous and upright person. Looking at him now, it was indeed so.
Even though they were on bad terms with the Yun's Residence, the Wolf's Fang Troop still avoided Yun Bahe's reputation.
"Leader Yun." Cang Lang walked forward and cupped his hands as a form of greeting.
The beginning of the negotiation between both parties seemed to be quite harmonious.
"Leader Cang." Yun Canglang also stood up and bowed.
"Deputy Leader Huo, don't stop me, I want to kill that bastard!" Just as the two of them were greeting each other, the young hunter suddenly broke free from the magic scepter of the female mage beside him, and his hand went to his waist.
The young male hunter's attire was a little special. Most of the martial artists in the Boundless Continent liked to hang their swords on their waists, but on his waist, there was a row of small knives and daggers that were only the length of a finger.
With a flick of his wrist, a silver light flashed and five to six concealed daggers flew towards Tang Yu.
The way he shot out the concealed weapons was extremely fast, it was obvious that he was an expert in this area. Every concealed weapon was wrapped in a layer of Dou Qi. Five to six of these daggers, linked together, were all aimed at Tang Yu's vital acupoints. If Tang Yu was really stabbed, blood would definitely splatter on the spot.
On the other hand, Yun Canglang was unhurried. His hand was several times faster than the dagger. He picked up Tang Yu and the five, six, eight hidden weapons missed their target.
The hidden weapon pierced the wall of the tavern, and suddenly, five or six knife marks appeared on the wall.
After Yun Canglang dodged the dagger, he threw Tang Yu back to his original position. The entire process was smooth and fluid. If one were to look at it from the side, it would seem as if Tang Yu's butt had never left his seat.
If Tang Yu hadn't been so frightened that his eyes had rolled back, no one would have realized what had just happened.
Cang Lang and Huo Nu, who were at the side, also looked calm on the surface. However, at this moment, their hearts were in turmoil.
Back then, Yun Canglang was considered a top figure in Zhou State. Even Cang Lang and the others, who were hunters, avoided Yun Canglang's name.
Previously, there was a rumor that Yun Canglang had abandoned the army to become a hunter after being crippled for many years. His originally crippled hands had miraculously recovered.
However, Cang Lang and the others didn't really believe it. They thought that it was impossible for a broken hand to recover. Even if it recovered, his skills would definitely be greatly reduced.
Therefore, this time, when they heard that Yun Canglang had stepped forward to resolve this matter, Cang Lang and the others still had some thoughts of testing him.
After testing, they immediately realized that Yun Canglang's skills didn't deteriorate compared to back then. In fact, they seemed to have improved.
Cang Lang pretended to be angry and said, "Liu Hao, who allowed you to make a move? Don't be presumptuous in front of Commander Yun."
"It's fine. This must be Brother Liu. This matter is also Tang Yu's fault." Yun Canglang smiled indifferently.
Yun Canglang sneered in his heart. What a good Wolf Fang Hunting Corps, they were also cunning enough.
Huo Nu's cultivation was much higher than Liu Hao's. How could she not be able to stop her impulsive subordinate?
Tang Yu, who was at the side, wanted to cry but had no tears. He was really scared to death.
"Since we agreed to discuss this matter, let's get straight to the point. This matter originally had nothing to do with our Wolf Fang Hunting Corps. However, Liu Hao is a very promising hunter in our group. Commander Yun, you should know that when a member of your group is in trouble, as a commander, you must stand up for him. "Cang Lang had already found out Yun Canglang's bottom line, so he straightforwardly spoke of the purpose of this trip.
"Commander Cang is right. Tang Yu, this matter started because of you. Brother Liu is also here today. Just tell us directly how you want to deal with this little bastard. "Yun Canglang ordered someone to bring wine.
When Liu Hao heard this, he glared at Tang Yu. When he saw Tang Yu, he thought of his fiancée who had died tragically.
He wished he could drink the blood and eat the flesh of this damn fatty in front of him. "A life for a life. I want his life!"
Liu Hao said word by word, his hand once again reaching for his dagger.
But this time, he did not act rashly. He knew that as long as Yun Canglang was here, even if he shot out a concealed weapon, he would not have the chance to hurt Tang Yu.
"I didn't kill her. She was the one who took things too hard. Why should I pay with my life? Moreover, that woman is only a commoner." When Tang Yu heard this, he also became angry. Today, his mother was not here, and his grandfather was also not here. If Second Uncle was impulsive and really wanted him to pay with his life, wouldn't he be dead?
It would have been better if Tang Yu did not open his mouth. Once he opened his mouth, Cang Lang and Huo Nu immediately glared at him.
Most of the hunters were born poor, and they could not bear to hear the sons of officials discriminating against the commoners. Not only did Tang Yu humiliate the lady, he even dared to spout nonsense after her death. Such vile behavior was enough for him to die a thousand times over.
"Shut up, you little bastard." The veins on Yun Canglang's forehead throbbed as he slammed his palm onto the table. A handprint appeared on the several inches thick surface of the table. The wine glasses on the table were all shattered.
Wine dripped down. Inside the tavern, only Tang Yu's frightened breathing could be heard.
Yun Canglang's anger caused the temperature of the tavern to drop by several degrees.
Tang Yu stole a glance at his Second Uncle. Cang Lang and Huo Nu, on the other hand, had an indifferent expression as they drank the wine in their hands.
After a while, it was Cang Lang who spoke first. He put down his wine cup and said, "Leader Yun, I respect the Residence of Yun for its loyalty and bravery. But sometimes, a piece of rat poop will spoil the whole pot of porridge. In this case, the gains will not make up for the losses."
Cang Lang's words were light but heavy at the same time. The murderous intent in his words was self-evident.
The vice leader of Huo Nu also sat at the side with a kind smile on his face. But if one took a closer look, one would realize that the magic scepter in Huo Nu's hand was shining with a moving light. She was already prepared to chant a spell.
Cang Lang alone might not be Yun Canglang's opponent. But with the addition of an extremely aggressive fire element mage, the outcome would be hard to say.
"Since we have already spoken to this point, I think Leader Yun should understand our intentions. I will make a decision on behalf of Liu Hao. A life for a life. As long as the Residence of Yun agrees, the Wolf Fang Hunting Corps will promise you that we will not cause trouble at the Residence of Yun in the future. But if Leader Yun does not agree, then the Wolf Fang Hunting Corps and the Sky Hunting Corps will be mortal enemies. "Cang Lang's words were resolute and decisive. There was no room for negotiation.
