Mercenaries in Two Worlds

♂』At night, the Wang family mercenary group excitedly gathered together. Suddenly, they had three more alchemists. It was time for the mercenary group to consider expansion. After all, Zhang Qian spent his days painting a picture of the world's number one mercenary group, bewitching everyone, and with Ye Mei's strong support, the results were quite significant.

Just as everyone was leaving in high spirits, Hong Miaoxian suddenly arrived, looking very serious. Compared to his radiant appearance on the previous day, he exuded an unconcealable anxiety.

Hong Miao arrived late at night, clearly not wanting anyone to know. After some discussion, it was learned that he intended to hire the Wang family mercenary group to guard the Hong family, which would only take five days.

The Wang family mercenary group had never taken on such a dangerous mission before, and hesitated, not wanting to do it but unable to refuse. Hong Miao had also made it clear that he would only reveal the reason if they accepted the mission, and the reward was three Xuan-grade weapons.

This Xuan-rank weapon is exactly what everyone urgently needs. The Wang family mercenary group is also eager to gain some experience, but they are always concerned about the lives of their companions and want to discuss it for a night before giving a reply.

As Hong Miao was leaving, he stammered, looking like he wanted to say something but couldn't.

It turned out that he wanted Xia Yun to refine a batch of Bursting Yuan Pills to help the Hong family overcome this crisis.

The Bursting Yuan Pill can boost cultivation in a short time, but the side effects are equally severe. At best, one will be weak for a few days; at worst, one's cultivation will be completely destroyed.

Everyone was shocked. Just how desperate must the Hong family be to resort to such a pill?

Before Xia Yun could even consider it for a moment, another unexpected event occurred.

"Oh no...it's...bad." Wang San rushed in, "Second...Second Brother...has been...taken away."

"What?" Everyone was shocked. How could Wang Er have been arrested for no reason in such a short time? She's not a virgin.

Seeing Wang San's terrified expression and his incessant panting, it was impossible for him to be faking it.

Wang Yi's chest was flaring with anger. Ignoring whether Wang San was breathing properly, he shook Wang San's shoulder and demanded, "Explain yourself clearly, what happened?"

"Just now, my second brother and I went out to the river to collect our nets when suddenly three men in black appeared and..."

"I'll go out and take a look first." Before Wang San could finish speaking, Zhang Qian had already rushed out.

It was pitch black outside, not a soul in sight, and no one knew which way to go. The group that arrived searched together, but there was no trace of Wang Er.

Hong Miao hesitated for a moment, then said in a deep voice, "I might know who did it."

"Who?" Wang Yi gritted his teeth in anger. His three brothers had relied on each other since childhood and had never encountered such a mess. At this moment, he was furious, and the others were no better off, all anxious and worried.

"The Three Swords Mercenary Group".

"What? Didn't you say you'd already taken care of it for us? Why are you suddenly making things difficult?"

Seeing that no one believed him, Wang Miao revealed the whole story. It turned out that since successfully forming his core after consuming the Jin Yuan Pill, his mind had become more active. He had been recruiting people from all sides and planting spies in various forces, hoping to further develop his family. Unexpectedly, he uncovered a shocking secret: Ci Yan of the Three Swords Mercenary Group had acquired a wicked technique called Divine Blood Refinement a few months ago. This technique allowed him to rapidly increase his cultivation level by using the blood of those with savage beast bloodlines. Recently, the Three Swords Mercenary Group had been capturing people with savage beast bloodlines, and it was said that they had already captured five or six such individuals.

Xia Yun frowned and said, "Why is the Divine Blood Refining here? Wasn't it destroyed three hundred years ago?"

The Divine Blood Refinement is a cultivation technique created by the once-powerful evil cult, the Blood Sect, three hundred years ago. It uses the blood of those with savage beast bloodlines as a medicinal bath, combined with other techniques, to rapidly enhance one's cultivation and even allow the inheritance of some bloodline heritage, making one incredibly powerful. However, it is excessively bloody and cruel, intolerable to the righteous path. Moreover, this technique has extremely severe side effects, easily causing one to go into qi deviation and become a mindless, killing machine.

Three hundred years ago, the righteous path united and destroyed the Blood Sect in one fell swoop, and the Divine Blood Refining Sect disappeared without a trace.

Miao was questioned by Xia Yun, so he hurriedly explained, "There's no mistake. It's precisely because of this secret that I need to hire you to prevent the Three Swords Mercenary Group from killing us to cover it up. Doesn't Wang San also have the bloodline of a savage beast?"

The members of the Wang family mercenary group exchanged glances, already believing Wang Miaoxian's words. Given Wang Er's character, it was possible that he was boasting about his Green Dragon Lizard bloodline everywhere.

Zhang Qian just felt that something was wrong, but he couldn't quite put his finger on it.

"Now that we know who did it, what are we waiting for? Let's wipe out the Three Swords Mercenary Group." Wang Yi clenched his fists tightly, afraid that if they were too late, Wang Er would have met with misfortune.

Hong Miao quickly grabbed him, saying, "Going like this is no different from suicide. The Three Swordsmen need his blood; they won't kill him so quickly."

This reassured everyone somewhat, and they went to the Hong family to discuss countermeasures.

The Hong family mansion was still brightly lit at night, and several mercenary groups had already gathered in the courtyard. It seemed that Hong Miaoxian had indeed hired people from all over the place, just in case.

However, these mercenary groups were completely oblivious to the danger approaching, drinking and gambling in the courtyard, making a noisy scene.

A burly man, probably drunk, stretched out his foot to trip Xia Yun while playing rock-paper-scissors.

Xia Yun dodged away, coldly snorting, "What's the use of bringing these useless people here?"

Upon hearing Xia Yun's words, the burly man flew into a rage. He ripped off his greasy shirt, revealing his muscular physique, and roared, "You brat, who are you calling trash?"

He stretched out a palm the size of a cattail leaf and pushed towards Xia Yun, but the other party suddenly swayed and dodged it. At the same time, a black dagger was already pressed against his chin.

The burly man shuddered, his back drenched in cold sweat, sensing extreme danger. He stammered, "I'm useless, I'm useless, young hero, spare my life!"

He was afraid. Xia Yun's cold eyes terrified him. He believed that if he didn't beg for mercy, the dagger would plunge into his throat without the slightest hesitation.

Hong Miao quickly came to the rescue, saying, "We're on the same side, we're on the same side."

"Hmph." Xia Yun sheathed her dagger and refused to look at him again.

"Master Hong, my cultivation is too low to be of any use. Farewell." The burly man fled in disarray.

Ye Mei asked in confusion, "Most of these people are at the low level of Qi Refining, and only a few have reached the Foundation Establishment stage. How can they possibly withstand the Three Swords Mercenary Group?"

"There's nothing we can do about it. The Mercenary Center is in cahoots with the Three Swords Mercenary Group. I'm afraid those high-level mercenary groups might be connected to the Three Swords Mercenary Group, so we can only ask these small mercenary groups from remote areas."

Zhang Qian roughly guessed Hong Miaoxian's thoughts and said coldly, "I suppose the Explosive Yuan Pill you wanted is for them to take!"

Hong Miao, a Yuan Dan realm expert, looked a little embarrassed and avoided eye contact after being spoken to like that by Zhang Qian.

"I don't know how to refine the Exploding Yuan Pill, so Master Hong doesn't need to waste his time thinking about it." Xia Yun was somewhat disgusted by Hong Miaoxian's character and refused firmly.

"Didn't you just say they were all useless? What's wrong with using them?" Hong Miao was also a little unhappy, but he held back and answered coldly.

The Wang family mercenary group had always had a good impression of Hong Miaoxian, but this sentence made everyone's hearts turn cold. Zhang Qian said disdainfully, "Master Hong can use them, and one day he may also use us."
