Chapter 550: Chapter 550: Talk to Them_1

Zhang Xian and Yao Rao have no idea about the thoughts of the young man, and they are chatting idly.

The young man glances a few times, smacks his lips, and does not pay attention anymore.

After a while, the speed of the business vehicle suddenly picks up, leaves the city, and turns into a relatively narrow, winding asphalt road.

"Iron Head, where are you going?"

Yao Rao turns her head and looks out the window, her eyebrows furrowed, "Don’t tell me we don’t even have a headquarters now."

"Isn’t that the truth?" Iron Head said with a bitter smile.

Yao Rao slapped her forehead, looking distressed, "I mean, how did you guys manage this? I just lived in Huaxia for a while, how did you lose our headquarters?"

"Elder Sister Yao Rao, you can’t blame us. If we hadn’t discovered the other party in time, we might have been completely wiped out by now." Iron Head gave a bitter smile and said, "You don’t know, they brought two Grandmaster powerhouses. We only had two Innate experts on our side. How could we stand against them? We suffered heavy losses in this battle!"

"Two grandmasters?" Yao Rao exclaimed.

When they had called earlier, her subordinates hadn’t given her the details and had hung up in a hurry. Seeing Iron Head smiling, she thought there was no need to worry.

But now, hearing Iron Head’s words, she was shocked. Those god’s envoy bastards had actually taken their headquarters.

"Where are you taking us?" Zhang Xian asked.

Iron Head laughed, "We’ve found a temporary place in the mountains. Right now, we can’t stay in the city anymore, a lot of people are looking for us."

"What about DK and Death Scythe? Have they been attacked?" Yao Rao asked.

Iron Head said, "Not yet, those guys seem to want to clean up the smaller organizations first. The three major mercenary organizations haven’t been touched. Among them, the Snow Dragon guys seem to have gone over to the side of God’s Envoy. If this continues, DK and Death Scythe won’t last long either. God’s Envoy sent two strong Grandmaster level characters the moment they stepped out, they have the power to sweep through our mercenary world!"

"Damn, how could this happen?" Yao Rao was a bit of a headache.

She had thought this was just a minor skirmish, at least there wouldn’t be a major battle. Now it seems the so-called "God’s Envoy" is trying to consolidate the mercenary world, bringing it under his control.

Zhang Xian listened quietly, his face expressionless.

However, his heart was not as calm as it appeared. The God’s Envoy first infiltrated the underworld, then surged into the mercenary world. There must be a huge plan behind this. Otherwise, they wouldn’t have expanded and made such a high-profile move. In doing so, they were undoubtedly making enemies with all the dark factions.

Now the dark forces have been infiltrated, and the white forces will not be let go by God’s Envoy. To what extent this had been achieved, he did not know.

"This is a big mess," sighed Zhang Xian to himself.

Before, he thought that God’s Envoy was just a mysterious organization. Now he realizes that he had vastly underestimated them. The organization was far stronger than he had thought.

The business vehicle raced along, quickly drove into a mountain road, and finally stopped by a clear stream.

After getting out of the car, Iron Head said, "Elder Sister Yao Rao, Brother Zhang, follow me."

Zhang Xian and Yao Rao nodded and followed him.

Before long, a picturesque little valley appeared before them, the lush vegetation adorned with bright flowers, a misty fog wafted among the trees, looking like a fairyland on earth.

"This place is beautiful."

Yao Rao looked around the valley, then asked, "Iron head, how did you guys find this place? The scenery is really good."

"One of our brothers brought us here." Iron Head smiled.

Yao Rao nodded and did not say anything more.

Zhang Xian followed Yao Rao, occasionally glancing around the valley. Apparently, the spiritual energy here was much stronger than outside.

Unfortunately, the training conditions on Earth were just too poor. Even if this valley had a richer spiritual energy than outside, it was far from meeting the minimum requirement for cultivation. It didn’t help with cultivation.

"We’re here."

After a short while, Iron Head led Zhang Xian and Yao Rao to the edge of a pool.

At this moment, quite a few people were sitting by the pool, each with their heads down, chatting listlessly.

"Elder Sister Yao Rao, are you back?"

Suddenly, a middle-aged man saw Yao Rao and immediately stood up.

The others also cheered up when they saw Yao Rao. Without Yao Rao, they seemed to be without a backbone. They really didn’t know how to handle the current situation.

"Mm, I’m back."

Yao Rao nodded and looked at two middle-aged men, "Big Bear, Sen Tu, how are we doing now?"

"Sigh, not very optimistic." A muscly man, Big Bear, said with a bitter smile, "Now, there are Snow Dragon mercenaries everywhere outside. As soon as we go out, we get caught. Our Enchanting Mercenary Organization is down to just this small group of people. The others, dead or surrendered..."

"Damn it, I won’t let those bastards go." a middle-aged man said angrily.

"Absolutely." someone agreed, "Our Enchanting Mercenary Organization has no cowards. Those who surrendered, they’ve lost face for our Enchanting Mercenary Organization."

A blond man, namely Sen Tu, looked at Elder Sister Yao Rao and asked, "Sis, what should we do now?"

After a pause, Yao Rao turned her head to look at Zhang Xian.

"Who is this?"

Sen Tu, Big bear, along with the others, all turned their eyes to Zhang Xian, somewhat surprised.

They were very clear about what kind of person their leader was. They even doubted if Elder Sister Yao Rao was made of stone.

Now, Yao Rao brought back a young man. When facing a problem, she would seek his advice, which was puzzling to them. When did Elder Sister Yao Rao change her mind?

"There are two Grandmaster experts on the other side. Just relying on us, we’re sure to lose."

Zhang Xian stepped forward and said, "Get in touch with DK and Death Scythe! Although I’ve asked others to come over and we may be able to eliminate those two Grandmaster experts, there’s no need to do so."

"Heh..."

Everyone looked at Zhang Xian in surprise, sneering.

Did this guy think he was so powerful? Or were Grandmaster experts something to be taken lightly? If it was so simple, would they hide here, afraid to step outside their shelter?

Besides, God’s Spokesman had more than two Grandmaster experts, but also several Innate masters. Such a force was strong enough to sweep across their mercenary world.

"Contact them, we first need to find a certain person. If he makes a move, we might be able to put things together." Yao Rao said.

Zhang Xian asked, "Who are we looking for?"

"The King of Mercenaries, Chris." Yao Rao turned toward the sky, "That old guy is the only one who unified the mercenary world, a legend of the mercenaries. Even though he’s retired, he still has a high reputation in our circle. If he’s willing to step forward, maybe we’ll be able to contact DK and Death Scythe."

Zhang Xian frowned, "Are DK and Death Scythe so arrogant?"

"It’s not about arrogance." Yao Rao said, "As mercenaries, there’s natural competition among us. Now that Snow Dragon Mercenary Organization is out of the mercenary field, teaming up with God’s Spokesman, we mercenaries will lose unless we team up ourselves. But, the only true partners are DK and Death Scythe. Us smaller organizations are mere side notes in their eyes."

Zhang Xian looked at Yao Rao and asked, "So you mean, we are just cannon fodder?"

"Well, yes, something like that." Yao Rao nodded, "That’s why, it would be impractical for us to go there. We could easily get sacrificed."

Zhang Xian frowned, and then asked, "How about the power of DK and Death Scythe? It seems that you are the strongest among the mercenary organizations, reaching the Peak Innate Realm."

Yao Rao said, "Both DK and Death Scythe have Grandmaster experts on their side."

"Just one Grandmaster expert?" After a pause, Zhang Xian smiled, "Let’s go find the King of Mercenaries. If he agrees to help, we will wait for his message. If he refuses, we will go directly to DK and Death Scythe. I believe they will be very willing to cooperate with us. As for using us as cannon fodder, it depends on whether they have the capability."

Yao Rao was surprised and asked, "Are you serious about going?"

Zhang Xian said, "What can we do if we don’t? We can’t handle two Grandmaster experts. Moreover, they have a lot of helpers."

Yao Rao nodded and said, "Alright! I’ll take you there."

"Eh..."

Sen Tu asked, "Elder Sister Yao Rao, are you serious? We’re really going there? Will those guys even notice us?"

"I don’t agree either."

Big Bear said, "Whether it’s DK, Death Scythe, or the defected Snow Dragon Mercenary organization, they have all been domineering and arrogant. If we go there, we’re just asking for death."

"Yes, it is very dangerous to go like this."

A middle-aged man said, "We would be nothing but cannon fodder if things go well with them. And if they don’t go well, they might kill us outright."

"How can you guys have such little faith in yourselves? Are those guys really that tough?" Zhang Xian asked with a smile.

The others glanced at Zhang Xian but said nothing.

They still weren’t clear about what kind of relationship Zhang Xian had with Elder Sister Yao Rao. However, they scoffed at Zhang Xian’s suggestion. This guy clearly didn’t understand the intrigues of their mercenary world and wasn’t qualified to make comments. Had Elder Sister Yao Rao not been there, they wouldn’t have given Zhang Xian a chance to speak at all.

"Uh..." Zhang Xian felt a bit awkward as no one was paying him attention.

If Yao Rao weren’t involved, he would certainly have walked away without any hesitation. But with Yao Rao present, he chose to endure.

"Let’s go!" Yao Rao turned to leave.

After giving Zhang Xian an irritated glance, Sen Tu and Big Bear followed Yao Rao’s pace.

The rest of them, who also didn’t have a good impression of Zhang Xian, didn’t bother with him. What made them even more confused was why Yao Rao would listen to this youngster. Going there like this would bring them no benefits.

"Damn it..." Zhang Xian let out a bitter smile. Watching everyone leaving him behind, he eventually fell to the very end of the group.
