Chapter 550
They couldn’t help being startled . The newcomers all had powerful auras, and there were over a hundred of them who had at least reached the Meridian Opening realm .
Furthermore, there were six elders who emitted a particularly powerful pressure, one that made it seem as if they had merged with heaven and earth . It was actually six Xiantian experts .
“Zhang Qingyun, what do you think you’re doing?!” Mu Xue shouted angrily . She had already unsheathed her sword .
These people were the Muxue Mercenary Unit’s sworn enemies . They were the oldest mercenary unit in Qing Prefecture: the Ironblood Mercenary Unit .
Zhang Qingyun was the Ironblood Mercenary Unit’s leader . He appeared to be in his thirties, and his build was stocky . There was a long scar on his face that made him give off a savage feeling .
Zhang Qingyun was a true Xiantian expert who had reached the mid Xiantian realm . When the Muxue Mercenary Unit had just been formed, he had intentionally suppressed them .
In truth, Zhang Qingyun looked favorably upon Mu Xue’s talent and beauty . He wanted to take her as his own, but that matter had been ruined by the experts from Mo Gate .
Although he was very famous in the mercenary world, within the eyes of sects, mercenaries were all just second-rates, not much better than beggars . He didn’t dare do anything to Mo Gate; otherwise, he would probably die without even realizing how it had happened .
Although he had given the Muxue Mercenary Unit quite a bit of trouble behind the scenes, he hadn’t been able to stop their growth . A month ago, the Muxue Mercenary Unit’s strength had placed them within the top ten of the mercenary world .
Furthermore, what shocked him even more was that Mu Xue had reached the Xiantian realm . That was a grave threat to his position .
Within Qing Prefecture’s mercenary world, only three units had Xiantian experts within them, and they took the top three spots . Now that Mu Xue had reached the Xiantian realm, her mercenary unit would have to rank at least fourth .
Furthermore, Mu Xue had only just reached her twenties . On the other hand, Zhao Qingyun appeared to be in his thirties, but he was actually over fifty years old . That made him feel intense envy .
“Mu Xue, I wasn’t the one looking for you today . It was someone else who wanted to see you . ” Zhang Qingyun looked icily at Mu Xue with an expression that seemed to delight in her misfortune .
“I’ve long since heard of junior sister Mu Xue’s beauty and unsurpa.s.sed talent . Seeing you today is really my life’s greatest fortune . ”
Suddenly, another group of people arrived . The person at the front was a young man, and there were five Xiantian experts stood behind him .
That young man appeared to have just reached his twenties . He wore long robes with a jade belt . Although he was only at the Meridian Opening realm, his aura was extremely condensed .
The Muxue Mercenary Unit’s Meridian Opening experts were all suppressed by that aura .
“Luo Zhongsheng!”
Mu Xue’s pupils shrunk upon seeing this person, and she turned slightly pale . She immediately understood what was going on .
“Hahaha, I hadn’t expected junior sister Mu Xue to recognize me . It really is my blessing . ” Luo Zhongsheng was smiling sinisterly . Examining Mu Xue, a perverted light appeared in his eyes .
Mu Xue’s hair stood on end, but she forced herself to ask, “It couldn’t be that the junior master of the Giant Eagle Stronghold has come to find trouble for me, right?”
The Giant Eagle Stronghold was one of Qing Prefecture’s three great powers . Other than Mo Gate, no one could suppress them .
“How could I find trouble for you? It’s simply that I feel sad seeing you rus.h.i.+ng around bitterly all day, so I came to accept you as a concubine . With my Giant Eagle Stronghold’s resources, I’m sure you’ll get much better treatment than staying with these idiots . How about it? Do you agree?” laughed Luo Zhongsheng .
“f.u.c.k off!”
“You’re the idiot!”
“You really are garbage!”
“f.u.c.k your grandmother, you really are looking to die!”
Luo Zhongsheng’s words caused the Muxue Mercenary Unit to erupt in a flurry of curses . They almost charged forward and attacked .
Luo Zhongsheng was clearly insulting them . They tightly clenched their weapons, prepared to fight at any moment .
“Luo Zhongsheng, for the grand junior master of the Giant Eagle Stronghold to bully us, do you even have any dignity?” raged Mu Xue, her body trembling with fury .
If it was just the Ironblood Mercenary Unit, she wouldn’t feel any fear . Although she hadn’t had time to refine the crystal bone, she wasn’t afraid of Zhao Qingyun .
Although they might be lacking numbers, the Muxue Mercenary Unit was only filled with elites unafraid of death . They wouldn’t lose in a fight .
But with the Giant Eagle Stronghold sticking their hands into this matter, it was completely different . With their five Xiantian experts, the Muxue Mercenary Unit would definitely perish if they offended them .
“Hahaha, there’s no need to say any useless words . I heard that you accepted Mo Gate’s mission . I’ve been waiting for you this entire time .
“I don’t care whether or not you managed to obtain the darkness attribute core . Right now, I’ll give you two choices: return with me to the Giant Eagle Stronghold, or, hehe… die!” sneered Luo Zhongsheng .
“Your Giant Eagle Stronghold really is intolerable! We aren’t even a part of your struggle! Just what do you think you’re doing by targeting us?” raged Mu Xue .
“I don’t have the energy to argue with you . The cultivation world is just like this . In front of the strong, the weak don’t have any power to quibble . I’ve already asked you the question . So tell me, do you want to die or live?” sneered Luo Zhongsheng .
“Leader, you should run for now . We’ll block them . Once your cultivation base advances, you can get revenge for us . ”
The Muxue Mercenary Unit’s members all fully released their auras, ready to charge forward at any moment .
