The sun hung high in the sky, and the clouds floated leisurely.
In a small tavern in Red Rock City, Lin Xuan sat by the window, drinking the low-quality liquor in the tavern as he leisurely watched the people on the streets.
He did not have any special plans today. The only reason he came out was to drink some liquor, bask in the sun, and relax.
Ever since he came down from Dragon Boundary Mountain, he spent most of his time escaping, killing, scheming, and cultivating. Lin Xuan's identity seemed to be destined to not have a moment of leisure.
And today, he was Chen Huang, a reclusive and cold disciple of Golden Arrow Sect.
However, Red Rock City was now filled with martial artists and soldiers. It had long become a military city, a rumbling war machine. Other than Lin Xuan, the people on the streets were all hurried. Everyone's face was full of fatigue after a battle, and they were a little lacking in entertainment.
Lin Xuan drank a mouthful of liquor, squinted at the sun in the sky, and smiled faintly. It felt good to have half a day of leisure.
Suddenly, a commotion attracted his attention.
"The Thunder Lion Army has issued a notice! It's a recruitment notice signed by the Crown Prince of the Spirit King! "
"Get out of the way! Let me see! "
"…"
Beside a wall at the corner of the street, two fully dressed Thunder Lion Army soldiers pasted a blood-red notice on the wall and left silently.
The martial artists who had gathered around were soon in an uproar.
"Anyone who joins the Thunder Lion Army will receive three Blood Vitality Pills per month for True Energy Realm martial artists and thirty Blood Vitality Pills per month for God Astral Realm experts! What kind of elixir is this Blood Vitality Pill? Why haven't I heard of it? "
"Tsk! How ignorant and inexperienced! The Blood Vitality Pill is a Blood Path Elixir refined from the blood and essence of fierce beasts. Its effect is not inferior to the Condensing Vitality Pill! "
"In that case, three Blood Vitality Pills are enough for a beginner True Energy Realm martial artist to raise his cultivation by one stage?"
"Look! This is just the basic salary. If there are gains in battle, there will be additional rewards! The Crown Prince is so generous! "
The surrounding people discussed animatedly, and they couldn't help but become restless.
Most of the martial artists in this world had mediocre aptitude and were at the bottom of the hierarchy. Three Blood Origin Pills a month was like a pie falling from the sky.
If it was in the Daqian dynasty, an ordinary True Element Boundary martial artist might not be able to earn a single Condensing Essence Pill even after working hard for one or two years.
In the pub, Lin Xuan couldn't help but be secretly surprised. It seemed that Yu Guangqi was determined to win the Scarlet Mountain Mountain!
There were probably tens of thousands of True Energy Realm martial artists and thousands of Divine Astral Realm martial artists gathered in Crimson Stone City. Even if half of them joined the Thunder Lion Army, the monthly expenditure would be more than 100,000 Blood Vitality Pills. How could a mere Spirit King Manor afford it?
Even a fool wouldn't believe that Yu Guangqi had seized the Scarlet Mountain Mountain just for the righteousness of the Human Clan!
Lin Xuan looked out of the window and whispered, "Investigate Yu Guangqi's purpose as soon as possible. Furthermore, investigate the source of the Blood Origin Pellet."
At the next table, an average-looking thin martial artist nodded gently and left without saying a word.
At this time, a Golden Arrow Sect disciple came over and said respectfully to Lin Xuan, "Senior Brother Chen, the Young Master invites you over."
"Hmm? What's the matter? "Lin Xuan asked.
"I'm not sure," the disciple said cautiously.
Lin Xuan's eyes moved slightly. After Zhuo Shaoyu joined him, he was quite honest and active. He had shown some potential as a henchman. Perhaps he had discovered something.
"Lead the way!"
"Yes!"
Under the guidance of the disciple, Lin Xuan came to a private room on the third floor of a high-end brothel.
Zhuo Shaoyu was hugging two beautiful girls at the moment and was flirting with them.
Seeing Lin Xuan come, he smiled casually and said, "Chen Huang, the girls in this brothel are not bad. Do you want me to call a few for you to play with?"
Lin Xuan sat down on a chair and looked at him indifferently, "If you have something to say, say it. If not, I'm afraid you will be in trouble."
"Eh?"
Zhuo Shaoyu's expression changed slightly and he quickly smiled, "Of course, I have something to say!"
He pushed the girls aside and ordered coldly, "You can all go down and close the door!"
"Yes, Young Master!"
Everyone retreated in fear and trepidation, closing the door behind them.
Zhuo Shaoyu eagerly walked over and poured a cup of wine for Lin Xuan. He said with an obsequious smile, "Master, this subordinate was worried that someone would notice your identity, so I had to trouble you to make this trip. Over the past few days, this subordinate has been diligently investigating and has found something interesting. "
"What is it?" Lin Xuan's eyebrows twitched.
Zhuo Shaoyu quickly said, "This subordinate found that although Yu Guangqi has been pursuing our Golden Arrow Sect's female disciple, Yu Qianrou, he has been paying more attention to Yin Xueqiao than Yu Qianrou."
"Eh?"
Lin Xuan narrowed his eyes.
He had found out that Yu Qianrou and Yin Xueqiao were known as the Golden Arrow Duo. They both had rare beauty and talent and were surrounded by countless people.
However, because of Yin Xueqiao's special identity, she wasn't very popular in the upper echelons of society.
Apart from a few spoiled brats, most of the disciples of aristocratic families kept a respectful distance from her.
Yu Qianrou was different. Whether it was the young masters of the upper echelons of society or the geniuses of the martial world, anyone who saw her would fall in love with her and never forget her.
Since the Golden Arrow Sect's disciples came to Que Province a month ago, Yu Guangqi had taken a liking to Yu Qianrou at first glance and started pursuing her crazily.
Zhuo Shaoyu continued, "My lord, it's impossible for Yu Guangqi to not know about Yin Xueqiao's background. This is a little strange.
In this subordinate's opinion, although Yin Xueqiao is as beautiful as a fairy, with Yu Guangqi's status, he wouldn't disregard his own life just because of her beauty. He might have other motives for paying attention to Yin Xueqiao! "
Lin Xuan asked curiously, "Putting aside her beauty, Yin Xueqiao is only a beginner God Astral Realm cultivator. What motives does Yu Guangqi have for her?"
Zhuo Shaoyu's eyes flickered, "My lord, this subordinate has a guess. Yu Guangqi paying attention to Yin Xueqiao might have something to do with the Dayin Kingdom's treasure. He has now placed no less than twenty hidden experts around Yin Xueqiao. Every one of them is a God Astral Realm expert. If it wasn't for my people being vigilant, we wouldn't have discovered them. "
"Oh?" Lin Xuan had a thoughtful look on his face.
At this moment, there was a sudden commotion on the street outside.
Lin Xuan and Zhuo Shaoyu walked to the window and looked out.
They saw five young girls riding on ferocious beasts heading out of the city. However, they were stopped by the Thunder Lion Army on the street.
The young girl in the lead was riding on the back of a tall, snow-white winged tiger. Her beauty was peerless and her temperament was like that of a fairy. She was Yin Xueqiao.
Following closely behind Yin Xueqiao was another young girl. She was her personal maid, Que'er. The three young girls behind her were also wearing the Golden Arrow Sect's uniform.
Yin Xueqiao looked coldly at the Thunder Lion Army in front of her and asked, "What are you trying to do?"
"Miss Yin, may I ask where you are planning to go?"
