But even with so many people they sent out, there was still no news.

"What's going on with the Flame Mercenary Group?" Han Jue turned around and asked Qin Yang.

Qin Yang replied immediately.

“We investigated as soon as Miss had her accident last night. Zhu Yan of the Flame Mercenary Group was at Lingwu Tower all night, and the other vice-leaders were also under our surveillance without making any moves. It seems that the Flame Mercenary Group was not responsible for what happened yesterday.”

Upon hearing Qin Yang's answer, Han Jue narrowed his eyes and muttered, "If it's not the Flame Mercenary Group, then who could it be?"

Qin Yang continued, “The man who kidnapped Miss last night, although we didn’t stop him, judging from his strength at the time, was at most a Dou Shi. However, he had a very strange white flame in his hand, which caused heavy losses to our brothers.”

"Battle Master? White flames?" Han Jue fell into deep thought after hearing Qin Yang's words.

The flames that ordinary Battle Masters conjure from their Battle Qi are yellow. Only some alchemists can produce flames of other colors, such as white flames. Could it be a strange fire?

Han Jue was suddenly startled.

"That's right. If it's a strange fire, then the person who came must be an alchemist. Damn it, how did I get involved with an alchemist?"

Han Jue's heart sank to the bottom.

What's most terrifying about alchemists isn't their strength, but their influence. Once an alchemist calls upon his friends, Han Jue, with his own strength as a Great Dou Master, simply wouldn't be able to defeat them.

Just as Han Jue was pondering, hurried footsteps came from outside, and then a mercenary walked in and said to Han Jue.

"Commander, this is where someone shot an arrow at our gate just now. He said it says 'Young Miss's place' on it."

Upon hearing the visitor's words, Han Jue abruptly raised his head, like a furious lion. He then concealed the murderous intent in his eyes and took the letter from the mercenary's hand.

Han Jue glanced at the letter in his hand, then laughed angrily. "Haha, very well indeed! I'd like to see who you are!"

As expected, the letter not only mentioned that the other party knew about the Devouring Herb, but also asked Han Jue to take the Devouring Herb alone to make the exchange.

Han Jue had made up his mind. Even if the other party was an alchemist, he would not hand over the Devouring Herbs. Moreover, the other party had actually risked his life alone last night, which meant that he was alone now. As long as he killed him, even if the other party called for reinforcements, he could deny it to the death. After all, he had a powerful background, and no one would risk making a blood feud with him for a dead man.

After reading the letter in his hand, Han Jue said sternly.

"Withdraw all the brothers outside, prepare for battle, prepare horses for me, and once you see my signal, everyone come to my aid as quickly as possible!"

"Yes!" Qin Yang looked at Han Jue, a glint of passion flashing in his eyes.

Soon, Han Jue rode a fast horse towards a remote place outside Mo City.

On the city wall of Mo City, Xiao Fan looked down at Han Jue, who had left the city, and smiled slightly. Everything was proceeding according to his plan.

Under the scorching sun, a tall, chestnut horse galloped wildly across the desert. This man was none other than Han Jue, who was heading to the location Xiao Fan had mentioned.

Along the way, Han Jue carefully observed his surroundings to prevent any ambush. Although he was a Great Dou Master, Han Jue was naturally vigilant, which is why he had his mercenaries prepare before he set off.

As soon as Han Jue returns the money, he immediately sends a distress signal. This way, the Iron Cavalry Mercenary Group can arrive very quickly. With his strength as a Great Battle Master, even if he is ambushed, he can hold out until reinforcements arrive.

pat!

The chestnut horse's hooves crushed the sand crabs that had just emerged from the desert. Sand crabs were a type of low-level magical beast in the Tagor Desert, which usually hid in the desert and ambushed its passing prey.
