Chapter 114 Heading to Yancheng
Xiao Yan actually wanted to come over and throw the Wind Fury Dragon Flame directly, but his rationality made him count down to ten.
I gave them a chance, but they didn't cherish it. They shouldn't blame me for being ruthless, especially since it was the other party who started the conflict first.
When the opponent is stronger than themselves, Xiao Yan doesn't believe they will show mercy.
"And those who are still alive, go back and tell your master to wash his head clean and wait for me. I will come to take his dog's head in three days!"
After leaving these words, Xiao Yan left the place, and all that remained of the original Storm Mercenary Group's base was a large pit that had sunk dozens of meters into the ground!
After returning to the Mo Tie Mercenary Group, Xiao Yan helped clean up the wounded members and treated them.
In this battle, a total of thirty-two members of the Mo Tie Mercenary Group died, and almost all of the survivors were injured to some extent.
Fortunately, his eldest and second eldest brothers were still alive. Previously, Xiao Yan's eldest brother had acted with the third leader, Luo Bu. Luo Bu's cultivation was at the three-star Great Dou Master level, making him the toughest nut to crack in the entire Mo Tie Mercenary Group. Xiao Ding, who was with him, only suffered some minor injuries.
"Actually, everyone had anticipated death from the first day they became mercenaries, but we never expected that we would die not at the hands of monsters and snake people, but at the hands of humans."
Looking at the thirty-odd graves within the mercenary group's territory, Xiao Ding couldn't help but express his feelings.
Xiao Yan had some impression of these brothers; some he had drunk with, and others he had helped dig up the burial site of the strange fire.
Now, some of them lie here forever, and the mercenary group will never see them again.
"I'm sorry, brother. If I had arrived earlier, they might not have died."
Xiao Yan looked guilty, thinking that if he had arrived sooner, he might have been able to change everything.
"No, it's not your fault. Life and death are unpredictable. Every brother who died here was prepared for this. I will also bring a generous compensation to their families."
"And you, Little Yanzi, have something more important to do: bring Qinglin back!"
Over the past few months, most of the mercenary group's attitude towards Qinglin has changed, and her existence, along with that two-headed snake, has even saved the lives of countless brothers.
Everyone already regards her as everyone's little sister, but for Xiao Yan, Qing Lin is even more important.
"I know, I promised her that I would be there for her whenever she needed me."
Now that Xiao Yan has figured out the location of the Mo family in the past two days, it's about time to settle everything.
"Go, Xiao Yanzi! Even though we are far weaker than you, we will always support you!"
Xiao Ding and Xiao Li stood side by side, showing Xiao Yan unconditional trust.
Xiao Yan nodded: "Don't worry, eldest brother and second brother, I will definitely bring Qing Lin back alive and kicking!"
Salt City is the largest city in the eastern part of the Gama Empire. Its main source of income is the production of salt. Its salt and iron business accounts for almost 70% of the entire Gama Empire. Its wealth is so great that many forces in the entire Gama Empire are envious.
However, those in the know prefer to call this city Mo City, for no other reason than the name of the Mo family.
The Mo family was originally just one of the major powers in Yancheng, but thanks to the Yunlan Sect, they had a smooth journey.
Of the more than 180 shops on the street, more than 150 belonged to the Mo family.
Today, the entire city of Yancheng is decorated with lanterns and colorful streamers because it is the birthday of Mo Cheng, the Grand Elder of the Mo family.
As a prominent family in the Jia Ma Empire, the Mo family received numerous offers of congratulations, and it was even rumored that members of the Yunlan Sect would come to offer their congratulations.
To demonstrate the power of the Mohists, they spent a fortune booking all the hotels in the city, and during Mo Chengshou's birthday celebrations, all the hotels only accepted guests from the Mohists.
Only the Mohists were qualified to do such a powerful and domineering thing.
At the gate of Yancheng, dozens of guards were on high alert, and during this time, no outsiders were allowed to enter or leave except for guests of the Mo family.
Everyone who wanted to enter Yancheng had to present an invitation from the Mohist school.
"Are you guys out of your minds? You dare to check my car? I think you don't want to stay in Yancheng anymore!"
Ahead of Xiao Yan, a spoiled female voice came from a luxuriously decorated carriage.
Beneath the black curtain, a young woman in red is angrily berating the guards at the door.
"I'm so sorry, it's Miss Linglin. That young man was new here and didn't recognize you. Please feel free to come in!"
The leader of the guards hurriedly came over to apologize, explaining that his men were all new recruits and hadn't recognized Mo Linglin, the second young lady of the Mo family.
Finally, after she apologized profusely and the other party rushed to congratulate the Grand Elder, Mo Linglin finally let it go.
"Halt! Do you have an invitation?"
When it was Xiao Yan's turn, the guards who had just been humiliated immediately changed their expressions and looked at Xiao Yan coldly.
He was all alone, and at only twenty years old, he didn't seem like someone with profound cultivation.
As for the wealthy young men who offered their congratulations, which wealthy young man is so poor that he has to walk into the city by himself?
Xiao Yan was stopped by these guards. They were only Dou Zhe level, and the captain in charge was only Dou Shi level. They were not worth mentioning to Xiao Yan.
However, he is a person who always has a grievance against someone and a debtor against someone he owes a debt to, so he won't vent his anger on unrelated people.
"Invitation? What invitation?"
"Nonsense, of course it's an invitation from the Mohists. Without an invitation, outsiders are prohibited from entering Yancheng."
Xiao Yan inwardly scoffed at the other party's words. The Mo family had quite the grand display, having booked an entire city.
Those who know the area assume that Yancheng is under the jurisdiction of the Jia Ma Empire's royal family, while those who don't might think that Yancheng was built by the Mo family.
"Oh? I didn't have an invitation, but I know that the entire Gama Empire has a clear rule that alchemists can freely enter and leave any city in the empire."
Or are you all planning to defy the laws of the Gama Empire and be treated as traitors?
After speaking, Xiao Yan revealed his first-grade alchemist badge. Of course, he was now strong enough to successfully refine third-grade pills, but he just hadn't had time to take the alchemist guild's assessment.
"He's an alchemist!"
In fact, these guards were still under the jurisdiction of the city lord's mansion. However, since everyone in the Yancheng city lord's mansion had received benefits from the Mo family, they were naturally willing to work for the Mo family.
However, these guards actually knew that doing so was against the rules, but ordinary people had no way to resist.
They were well aware of the significance of an alchemist. In the entire Gama Empire, the Alchemist Guild was a transcendent entity, comparable to the Gama Empire's royal family and the Yunlan Sect. Naturally, they were not people they could afford to offend.
"My apologies, my apologies! So you're the Alchemist, sir. Since you wish to come in, please feel free. We were blind to your abilities before!"
These guards changed their expressions very quickly. As for what would happen if outsiders were let in, a first-grade alchemist probably wouldn't have much of an impact.
Yancheng will remain the same as before he went in, and naturally no one will hold his brothers accountable.
"snort."
Xiao Yan snorted coldly and walked past the guards into Yancheng.
