“Haha, we’ll reach Red city after passing this hill. Once we reach Red city, we’ll be entering Misty Rain Tower’s territory. No one will dare to attempt to trouble us. This is an awesome mission; I earned 20 mortal restoration pills from doing almost nothing!”
Wang Ting and the rest of the mercenaries were all happy and relaxed. When they reach Red city, they would be done with this mission.
A few of the mercenaries had excited looks on their faces, imagining the mortal restoration pills that would soon be in their hands. None of them had noticed the expression on Yan Meng’s face.
Jiang Chen had sharp senses, and he had developed his Divine Sense, allowing him to use mind force. He discovered that Yan Meng was increasingly looking more tense. The other two men from the Yan family were also nervous.
“I knew it wouldn’t be so simple.”
Jiang Chen smiled secretly. Yan Meng was not an idiot. If this wasn’t a dangerous mission, then he wouldn’t have spent so much money hiring so many Qi Hai warriors. He didn’t even start the journey until they had more than 8 men.
Furthermore, after using his Divine Sense, he discovered that the carriage was empty. There was nothing in it. It was being used as a disguise.
“Stay on guard everyone.”
Yan Meng reminded everyone. The mercenaries didn’t really mind what he said.
“Brother Wang, can I ask you a question? How is the relationship between the Misty Rain Tower and the Lee family?”
Jiang Chen whispered.
“It’s a pretty obvious answer for that question. Two tigers cannot live in the same mountain; our two families are enemies. It’s a matter of life and death.”
Wang Ting said.
“Do you know what treasure is in that carriage?”
Jiang Chen looked at the carriage and asked with an even lower voice.
“I don’t know. The old man didn’t want to tell us about it, and we can’t ask either. That is one of the mercenary rules. If I had to guess, I’d say it has something to do with the young lady of the Yan family.”
Wang Ting said.
“Young lady of the Yan family?”
Jiang Chen was surprised.
“Brother Jiang Chen, this is your first time coming to Red city, so you probably don’t know that the chief of the Yan family only has one daughter. She is a sweet apple in everyone’s eyes, but the young lady was born with a weak body, so she is always sick. The Yan family has hired many well-known physicians and many alchemy masters, but they were all clueless. They had all come to the conclusion that this young lady cannot live past 15. As she is now 14 years old, so I’m guessing that there must be some treasure in the carriage that has something to do with the sickness of the young lady. Of course, this is all just a guess.”
Wang Ting whispered.
“That’s a pity, do you know what kind of sickness this young lady has?”
Jiang Chen asked curiously.
“I don’t know about that, but people have told me that every time the sickness strikes the young lady, she would suffer from a chilling cold so bad it would almost kill her. It’s such a pity, she is only 14 years old.”
Wang Ting sighed and shook his head, he looked like a man with a caring heart.
“Let’s go.”
Yan Meng looked at the mountain range shrouded completely in darkness in front of him as he shouted to everyone.
Crack!
The wheel on the carriage made cracking sounds when it started spinning. The group was now moving forwards again.
The sky had gone completely dark after walking for another seven to eight miles. Jiang Chen could feel that the expressions on Yan Meng and the other two men’s faces had become even tenser than before, even their breathing had quickened.
At the same time, Jiang Chen used his Divine Sense and discovered dozens of men were hidden in front of them, all of them emitting powerful killing intent.
Jiang Chen looked up into the moon in the dark sky, a curve appearing on his mouth. A dark, windy night was a night destined for bloodshed.
“Haha, Yan Meng, I’ve been waiting here for long time.”
A loud laugh was heard up ahead. A group of men wearing black suits charged out of their hiding, all of them striking with the intent to kill. They completely blocked the path of Yan Meng and the others.
Jiang Chen scanned them with his Divine Sense, discovering the presence of 11 enemies in front of them. Two of them were at the late stage of the Qi Hai realm, four at the mid stage, and the rest were all at the early stages.
It didn't matter if it was the enemy’s strength or numbers, they were completely outnumbered.
Yan Meng’s expression changed. He had thought to himself that they would be safe after passing the hill, but danger had still come for them.
“Lee Long, your Lee family has put in a lot of effort to do this.”
Yan Meng said with a sneer smile on his face.
Wang Ting and the others had all lost their relaxed state of mind. Looking at the situation in front of them, they started to curse in their minds. They thought that this mission
