Chapter 164 – Taking Revenge (1/2)

Even though it was night, the entrance to the city was still very crowded, and there were groups of people appearing on the teleportation platform at every single moment.

“Brother Yang is probably not coming!” Man’zi looked into the city from the entrance, and he spoke when he saw that Yang Ye’s figure still hadn’t appeared.

At noon just now, Yang Ye had said that he would come to look for them once he’d dealt with the matters Sword Sect. So, the three of them hadn’t left.

“If you want to head to the Courtyard of Joy, then go ahead. No one asked you to wait!” Qing Hong glared angrily at Man’zi as she spoke.

Man’zi blushed, smiled embarra.s.sedly, and didn’t speak further.

Right at this moment, a group of guards in silver armor had arrived at the city entrance to conduct a patrol. One of them suddenly stopped upon noticing Qing Hong’s group of three, and his brows knit together tightly. After a short while, his face suddenly turned savage as he walked over towards Qing Hong’s group.

“Xiu Yan, what are you doing!?” The middle aged man in the lead shouted in a deep voice when he saw this person suddenly leave the group.

The man called Xiu Yan stopped moving, and then he glanced resentfully at Qing Hong’s group of three before he took a deep breath and said, “Commander Huang, I saw the people that murdered my younger brother!”

“Hmm?” Commander Huang glanced at Qing Hong’s group of three before he said, “Are you sure?”

Xiu Yan shook his head and said, “When my younger brother died, I’d gone to the Grand Myriad Mountains to investigate, and I discovered that my younger brother had entered the Grand Myriad Mountain with the three of them. My younger brother had died without any apparent reason within the Grand Myriad Mountain yet these three had suddenly vanished. So, my younger brother was definitely killed by these three people. Otherwise, why would they have gone missing?”

Xiu Yan’s younger brother was Xiu Yuan that had entered the Grand Myriad Mountains with Qing Hong’s group. At that time, he’d searched all the cities around the Grand Myriad Mountains yet hadn’t found any news of Qing Hong’s group. It was like the three of them had evaporated into thin air, and this caused him to be even more certain that his younger brother had perished at their hands.

Unfortunately, he was unable to find them after spending a very long amount of time. In the end, he had no choice but to abandon his search because the Imperial Guard in the Imperial Capital was about to start its yearly recruitment.

Sure enough, Xiu Yan who’d advanced into the King Realm had pa.s.sed it.

However, he’d never imagined that he would actually see these three mercenaries in the Imperial Capital!

“What do you intend to do?” asked Commander Huang.

“I want living to be worse than death for them!” Xiu Yan stared fixedly at the three of them.

Commander Huang said in a low voice. “Could it be that you intend to make a move against them on the streets? Don’t forget that this is the Imperial Capital!”

Xiu Yan took a deep breath and forcefully restrained the thoughts in his heart. Commander Huang was right, this was the Imperial Capital of Qin, and his future would definitely be over if he killed them on the streets.

Besides the group of madmen from the Talisman Master’s a.s.sociation, no one dared to break the laws of the Grand Qin Empire within the Imperial Capital!

After a short while, Xiu Yan looked at Commander Huang and said, “I’ll support you during the selection for the Head of the Guard this year!”

Commander Huang smiled when he heard this, and then he gestured to one of the guards behind him and said a few words by the guard’s ear. The guard glanced at Qing Hong’s group of three before he nodded and left.

“Brother Xiu Yan, even though we can’t make a move against them arbitrarily, what if they break the laws of the Grand Qin Empire?” Commander Huang smiled spuriously.

Xiu Yan glanced at Commander Huang while a trace of vigilance arose in the depths of his eyes. The Imperial Guard consisted of numerous members, and there were naturally many commanders as well. The Head of the Guard was a position above the position of Commander. In order to become a Head of the Guard, one didn’t just need strength, one had to possess the support of these members of the Imperial Guard. He didn’t support Commander Huang before this. However, he had no choice but to change sides for the sake of taking revenge.

However, the way he does things…. I must be extremely careful in the future. Xiu Yan thought in his heart.

.......

Qing Hong was just about to look around at the direction of the city and search for Yang Ye’s figure. Suddenly, a middle aged man arrived before her. He sized up her attractive figure and bluntly revealed l.u.s.t and greedy in his eyes. After that, he cracked a smile and said, “Tsk, tsk. What a beautiful figure. This figure… this face… it’s much better than the best woman in the Courtyard of Joy! If I’m able to….”

The middle aged man hadn’t finished speaking when a curved saber whistled through the air as it slashed down at the middle aged man.
