"Mo Yu!?"
Upon hearing this name, the five mercenaries' expressions immediately changed, and they quickly drew their weapons.
For this young man who had crippled the Wolf Head Mercenary Group's young leader, killed the Wolf Head Mercenary Group's second leader, and enraged a Great Dou Master expert, all the mercenaries in Qing Shi Town had listed him as an extremely dangerous individual.
Therefore, the moment they heard Mo Yu introduce himself, the two good-looking female mercenaries were so flustered that they couldn't even hold their weapons properly.
"Mr. Mo Yu, we mind our own business. May I ask why you have come?" The middle-aged man spoke first.
Raising an eyebrow, Mo Yu smiled slightly and said, "It's none of my business that you're camping here, but the main character you were just discussing seems to be me."
Hearing this, the mercenaries exchanged glances, a hint of awkwardness flashing in their eyes. It was just idle chatter; who would have thought the person himself would show up?
However, observing Mo Yu's demeanor and words, they concluded that the young man didn't seem as ruthless, sinister, and vicious as the Wolf Head Mercenary Group had claimed.
"Hehe, Mr. Mo Yu, we didn't intentionally discuss you behind your back. We are deeply sorry for this." After saying that, led by the middle-aged mercenary, they all bowed to Mo Yu.
This person before them was capable of killing Gan Mu, the second leader of the Wolf Head Mercenary Group, who possessed the strength of a nine-star Dou Zhe. The strongest among them was only this middle-aged mercenary, who had the strength of a five-star Dou Zhe, so they naturally acted extremely humble.
Seeing this, Mo Yu waved his hand and said, "Since that's the case, then let's forget about it. However, I want to know more about Qing Shi Town, and also, I'd like to borrow your place for a night's stay. Is that alright?"
Hearing Mo Yu's words, the mercenaries looked at each other, exchanged glances, and then the middle-aged mercenary nodded and said, "Of course, you can. My name is Ka Gang. Welcome, Mr. Mo Yu."
The middle-aged mercenary named Ka Gang then turned to the young girl beside him and said, "Ling'er, set up a tent for Mr. Mo Yu."
"Oh, oh… okay." The young girl named Ling'er looked quite young. Upon hearing Ka Gang's words, she quickly nodded, a hint of curiosity in her eyes as she looked at Mo Yu.
At Ka Gang's invitation, Mo Yu also came to the campfire and learned the names of the other three mercenaries.
"How is Xiao Yi Xian?" As soon as he sat down, Mo Yu immediately asked the question he most wanted to know.
When he had parted ways with Xiao Yi Xian, he had specifically given her a flying messenger token to notify him in times of danger. Mo Yu's Soul Power had just explored the storage ring, and the mother token was still there. So why hadn't Xiao Yi Xian notified him if something had happened to her?
"Xiao Yi Xian?" Hearing Mo Yu's words, the mercenaries fell silent for a moment. Finally, the young girl named Ling'er, who had returned, spoke up, "Sister Xiao Yi Xian has been captured and held at the Wolf Head Mercenary Group headquarters for several days. My father revealed that in a few days, the Wolf Head Mercenary Group plans to publicly execute Sister Xiao Yi Xian to force you to appear."
"Who is your father?"
"Oh, Ling'er's father is a high-ranking member of our Blood Battle Mercenary Group and knows many people from the Wolf Head Mercenary Group." Hearing Mo Yu's question, Ka Gang immediately explained.
"Blood Battle Mercenary Group, huh…" Mo Yu murmured softly. Like the Wolf Head Mercenary Group, the Blood Battle Mercenary Group was also one of the three major mercenary groups in Qing Shi Town.
Since the young girl's father was a high-ranking member of the Blood Battle Mercenary Group, what she said should not be wrong.
Thinking of this, a cold glint flashed in Mo Yu's eyes. Mo Yin and the Wolf Head Mercenary Group had truly angered him this time. If they used Xiao Yi Xian to threaten him, Mo Yu would make them pay a heavy price!
"Um, Mo Yu, are you going to rescue Xiao Yi Xian?" At this moment, another woman in a green dress gathered her courage and asked.
Standing up, Mo Yu's dark eyes calmly glanced at the woman in green, but he did not answer the question. Instead, he turned around and slowly walked towards his tent.
Looking at Mo Yu's silent back, Ling'er and the woman in the green dress couldn't help but show a hint of disappointment. Although they didn't know what relationship Mo Yu and Xiao Yi Xian had, they heard that Xiao Yi Xian hadn't revealed any information about Mo Yu these past few days, yet Mo Yu seemed to be ignoring her, which felt too cold-hearted and selfish.
Just as they were thinking this, with a hint of disdain appearing on their faces, Mo Yu, who had reached his tent and pulled open the outer zipper, suddenly stopped in his tracks, turned his head, and spoke to the middle-aged mercenary behind him.
"By the way, Uncle Ka Gang, please trouble you to guide me tomorrow. I need to return to Qing Shi Town as soon as possible. If possible, it would be best to take me to the Wolf Head Mercenary Group headquarters."
After speaking, Mo Yu turned and entered the tent, slowly zipping it up.
"He's going to the Wolf Head Mercenary Group headquarters? There's a Great Dou Master waiting for him there?" The young girl named Ling'er said in shock upon hearing Mo Yu's words.
"Mr. Mo Yu, he… he should be going to rescue Xiao Yi Xian…" Thinking of the young man's calm and composed demeanor just now, Ka Gang slowly speculated.
Hearing this, the others present were instantly shocked.
Rescuing Xiao Yi Xian would be like snatching food from a tiger's mouth under the nose of a Great Dou Master; it was simply courting death.
Although they had just scorned the young man's selfishness and cold-heartedness, they did not consider him timid or cowardly, because few people would dare to venture into the tiger's den when facing a Great Dou Master.
But Mo Yu's current actions, one couldn't tell whether to call them loyal and righteous, or simply foolish and reckless.
After getting the information he needed, Mo Yu went into the tent and immediately fell asleep. He didn't care much about Mo Yin and the Wolf Head Mercenary Group with his current strength.
Not to mention his powerful Soul Power, which was halfway to a fourth-grade Alchemist, even the Little Purple Crystal Winged Lion King alone would be enough to give Mo Yin a hard time.
Under the rotating watch of Ka Gang and the others, the night passed safely. As dawn broke, Mo Yu emerged from his tent feeling refreshed.
"Mr. Mo Yu, you're awake. Once things are packed, we can set off." Seeing Mo Yu come out, Ka Gang ran over and said respectfully.
"Hmm," Mo Yu nodded and, seeing Ka Gang's hesitant expression, asked, "What's wrong?"
"Well, Mr. Mo Yu, the Wolf Head Mercenary Group is hunting you, and there's a Great Dou Master at their headquarters. Isn't it too…" Although he didn't know Mo Yu well, the kind-hearted Ka Gang still warned him.
Waving his hand, Mo Yu said confidently, "Thank you for your kindness, but I will save Xiao Yi Xian, and I will destroy the Wolf Head Mercenary Group. What I say, even a Great Dou Master cannot stop!"
Seeing this, Ka Gang shook his head with some regret, not quite believing the young man's bold words.
At Mo Yu's insistence, half a day later, they successfully returned to Qing Shi Town.
Seeing the crowded and noisy town, a smile also appeared on Mo Yu's lips.
He then looked towards the south of the town, where the Wolf Head Mercenary Group's headquarters was located.
"Uncle Ka Gang, thank you for guiding the way." Looking at the Wolf Head Mercenary Group's gate about a hundred meters away, Mo Yu took out a black cloth bag from his storage ring, containing several thousand gold coins, and handed it to the middle-aged man in front of him.
Guiding the way should come with a fee; Mo Yu was not someone who bullied others with his power.
"This, Mr. Mo Yu, it's not necessary." Ka Gang was about to refuse, but Mo Yu directly threw the money bag onto him, then waved his hand and turned to walk towards the Wolf Head Mercenary Group's gate.
Seeing Mo Yu's departing back, Ka Gang and the others' expressions also turned to admiration.
Regardless of whether Mo Yu was reckless or righteous, to face a tiger's den so calmly and gracefully was something not many people could do.
"Let's go, we should head back too." Ka Gang turned to leave.
"Where to?" The young girl Ling'er asked curiously.
"To notify our Blood Battle Mercenary Group's leader. I have a faint feeling that Mr. Mo Yu… might bring us an unexpected surprise…"
Meanwhile, on the other side, as Mo Yu gradually approached the Wolf Head Mercenary Group's gate, the mercenary guarding the gate was about to shout to expel him, but when he clearly saw the young man's face, his expression froze, and then a surge of joy immediately welled up in his heart.
"Mo Yu, Mo Yu is here!"
However, before his shout could spread, a crimson bolt of lightning flashed across the sky at some unknown moment. In an instant, this five-star Dou Zhe expert was electrocuted as if charred, dying silently…
At this moment, inside the main hall.
Mu She, the leader of the Wolf Head Mercenary Group and a renowned expert in Qing Shi Town, was bowing respectfully to a Black Robed Man, acting like a subordinate.
"What's going on? So many days have passed, and there's still no news of that little bastard?" The Black Robed Man was naturally Mo Yin. After failing to hunt down Mo Yu last time, he came to Qing Shi Town, first to heal his broken arm, and second to use the Wolf Head Mercenary Group's forces to find Mo Yu's whereabouts.
And Mu She, the leader of the Wolf Head Mercenary Group, had a grudge against Mo Yu for injuring his son and stealing his Treasure Trove, so he was naturally happy to oblige.
"Sir, Mo Yu seems to have hidden deep within the Magical Beast Mountain Range. There are many high-level Demonic Beasts there, and their strength is formidable. My mercenaries dare not go too deep, so…" Mu She explained respectfully.
"Useless! All useless!" Before Mu She could finish his words, Mo Yin's hoarse, sinister roar immediately erupted.
Narrowing his eyes, Mo Yin looked at his empty right sleeve. He suddenly recalled the mysterious technique Mo Yu displayed at the edge of the abyss that day, and a slight chill went through his heart. Then, a deep killing intent surged in his eyes: "No matter what, Mo Yu must be found within three days, or the Wolf Head Mercenary Group will cease to exist!"
Hearing this, Mu She's heart trembled, and cold sweat continuously broke out on his forehead. What this Great Dou Master expert said clearly meant to annihilate his Wolf Head Mercenary Group!
Thinking of this, Mu She quickly said, "Sir, we can use Xiao Yi Xian to force Mo Yu out?"
"Oh? That lowly maid refused to say anything, didn't she?"
"Hmph, she doesn't need to say anything. Mo Yu and Xiao Yi Xian explored the Treasure Trove together, so their relationship must be extraordinary. As long as we use a public execution, I don't believe Mo Yu won't show up!"
Speaking of this, a ruthless glint also flashed in Mu She's eyes. If this vicious idea were implemented, with Xiao Yi Xian's influence in Qing Shi Town, their Wolf Head Mercenary Group would likely find it difficult to establish itself in Qing Shi Town in the future. However, to kill Mo Yu, everything was worth it.
By obtaining the Treasure Trove that Mo Yu acquired, their Wolf Head Mercenary Group could even achieve better development.
Just as Mu She was calculating this, a mercenary figure suddenly rushed in, crashing through the main gate. He urgently said, "Leader, Mo Yu has broken in through the main gate!"
"What?" Hearing this, Mu She was instantly dumbfounded.
Mo Yin was also stunned by the news. He immediately sat up, quickly walked a few steps, grabbed the reporting mercenary, and demanded, "How many people did he bring?"
"Just him!" The mercenary replied with a strange expression.
"One?" Mo Yin's face twitched; he seemed to have misheard. He had thought Mo Yu had invited some of the Great Dou Master from the Xiao Family, or that terrifying Dou Wang expert who made Mo Yin shiver.
But when he heard it was just Mo Yu alone, he was immediately astonished and said, "You mean he charged into our headquarters by himself?"
The mercenary nodded hurriedly.
"Did this little bastard get his head smashed by a rock? Does he think he can deal with me by himself? Then let him witness the terror of a Great Dou Master expert!"
His mouth twitching slightly, Mo Yin sneered, then his face darkened as he strode out of the main hall, saying in a hoarse, sinister voice, "It's good that he came; it saves us the trouble of sending people to search for him. Mu She, send your subordinates to block the gate for me. I want him to know that this place will be his grave!"
"Understood!" Mu She nodded heavily, a grim smile appearing on his face, and then he quickly called a subordinate and ordered him to carry out Mo Yin's instructions.
"Let's go, let's see what gave this little bastard such courage!" With a wave of his hand, Mo Yin sneered, walked out of the main hall first, and then quickly headed to the front courtyard, followed closely by Mu She and a large group of subordinates.
The group quickly passed through the front hall and arrived at the front courtyard, where they saw the young man in green robes standing with a smile at the main gate.
At his feet lay over a dozen Wolf Head Mercenaries, their bodies charred black as if by electricity, and the sturdy main gate was now shattered into pieces.
"Mo Yin, hehe. Long time no see." Seeing the Black Robed Man walk out with a gloomy face, the young man slowly raised his head, glanced at Mo Yin's empty right arm, and sneered.
"Today, little bastard, you can stay here forever!"
Looking at the ravaged courtyard, Mo Yin didn't even glance at it. His sinister eyes fixed tightly on Mo Yu. He took a step forward, pointed a finger at the young man, and the expression on his face instantly became incredibly distorted and venomous.
At his declaration of death, a strange arc curved on the young man's lips.
"Mo Yin, old bastard, your opponent today is not me."
Hearing this, Mo Yin was startled, then his expression became wary as he looked around. Could it be that the Xiao Family really sent someone? Damn it, I should have asked the Family for help earlier; it would be best if the Grand Elder could come personally!
Seeing Mo Yin's instant vigilance, a hint of disdain appeared in Mo Yu's eyes. Stroking the beast ring on his right hand, the next moment, with a thought from Mo Yu, a huge Demonic Beast suddenly appeared in the courtyard.
The moment the Little Purple Crystal Winged Lion King appeared, the originally empty courtyard instantly became crowded. Looking at the huge Demonic Beast, and the strong wind and terrifying Aura brought by the fanning of its purple wings, the expressions of the Wolf Head Mercenary Group, including Mo Yin, instantly turned as gloomy as frost.
"third-order magical beast!"
