46: Chapter 46: Mercenary Family 46: Chapter 46: Mercenary Family “You Ding Family dogs, let go of Xiao Xiang!

If there’s anything, come at me!”

Chen Yongnian said angrily to several men dressed in black leather.

“Chen Yongnian, you have decent martial arts talent, but unfortunately, you angered our Young Master Ding.

No one can save you, whether from heaven or earth.”

“Today, you and this little girl must die!”

One man said as he tightened his grip on Xiao Xiang’s neck.

The woman named Xiao Xiang, dressed very plainly, had a flushed face and seemed unable to breathe.

“Let her go!

I’ll fight you!

The Divine Martial Pavilion won’t let your Ding Family off the hook!”

Chen Yongnian rushed over with a limp.

Upon hearing “Divine Martial Pavilion,” the black leather men instantly looked panicked, but soon regained their composure.

“Chen Yongnian, who are you trying to scare?

Our Mercenary Family would be afraid of the Divine Martial Pavilion?

What a joke!”

“Moreover, you’re unfamiliar with the area.

How could you possibly know how to contact the Divine Martial Pavilion?

Utter nonsense!”

“Cut the crap, Xiao Wu, go kill him.

I’ll deal with this little girl right now.”

The man speaking looked vicious, intending to break Xiao Xiang’s neck.

Just as Chen Yongnian was in despair, a leaf flew rapidly, and the man who was holding Xiao Xiang fell to the ground instantly.

Xiao Xiang quickly ran to Chen Yongnian, supporting him.

“Brother Yongnian, are you okay?

They’re bad people, you should leave!”

Xiao Xiang said anxiously, looking at Chen Yongnian.

“Killing with a leaf, must be an expert, brothers!”

One of the black leather men said fearfully.

Chen Yongnian looked to the side and saw Ye Tian, hands in pockets, slowly walking over.

“Late at night, you all are fighting in front of my house, I’m going to call the police!”

Ye Tian said playfully in the direction of Chen Yongnian.

“You…who are you?

You better not meddle in Ding Family’s affairs, or even if you have some skills, you’ll surely die!”

The remaining black leather men looked nervously at Ye Tian.

“I don’t know what the Ding Family is, but I’ve heard you’ve done some heinous things, so I have to intervene.”

“You better tell me everything!

Otherwise, once the Divine Martial Pavilion investigates, you’ll be in trouble.”

Ye Tian’s voice was cold.

“So it’s you!”

The remaining black leather men exchanged glances.

Then, they formed a snake-shaped line, with the people behind placing their hands on the backs of those in front.

The men began to tremble, with bloodshot eyes.

In the end, only one man remained with bloodshot eyes and bulging muscles, while the rest turned to ashes.

“Hehe, I now have an indestructible body and immense strength.

You all will die here, aaagh!!”

The man turned terrifying, making Chen Yongnian shiver with fear, concerned for Ye Tian.

Ye Tian smiled and suddenly produced a sword covered in red rust.

He swung forward, and a black sword shadow struck the man.

“Boom!!!”

The man fell heavily, unable to move.

Chen Yongnian was bewildered; Ye Tian’s Shadowless Sword Skill was incredibly fast – only Heaven Rank experts could barely catch the sword shadow.

How could Chen Yongnian, with his spirit vein crippled, possibly see it?

Chen Yongnian looked at Ye Tian in shock, his reverence growing deeper.

“You can stay at my apartment tonight.

I will make arrangements for you tomorrow.”

Ye Tian initially intended a cool turn, but noticed Lin Chumo walking over.

Ye Tian thought, “No, I can’t let Chumo see this.”

Ye Tian quickly ran to Lin Chumo, picked her up princess-style, and carried her back to the apartment.

Lin Chumo, still in shock, was already inside the apartment.

“Tian, what were you doing outside?

I was looking for you!”

Lin Chumo said, eyes wide, looking at Ye Tian.

“It’s nothing, Chen Yongnian wanted to leave, but I saw he was badly injured and brought him back to stay for a night.”

“You should reward your kind husband.”

Ye Tian said, looking into Lin Chumo’s eyes.

“Alright, you’re the best, happy now?”

Lin Chumo smiled and praised Ye Tian.

“It’s late, let’s sleep.

I need to treat Chen Yongnian’s injuries.”

Ye Tian said, carrying Lin Chumo to the bedroom.

Outside.

Chen Yongnian watched Ye Tian’s lack of formality, almost believing he was hallucinating.

He then took Xiao Xiang back to the apartment.

“Here, take this elixir, it’ll heal your injuries.

Healing your spirit vein is complicated; we’ll talk about it later.”

“You can rest in that room downstairs; I’ll be going now.”

Ye Tian pointed to a vacant room downstairs, and then went upstairs to his room.

Ye Tian closed his door, his eyes serious, and took out his phone, dialing a strange number.

“Hello, Xing, it’s me.”

“My dear Pavilion Master, after the last incident, you haven’t called me, how heartless!”

The voice on the other end was androgynous, giving goosebumps.

“Alright, I’m serious now.

Do you know of the Mercenary Family?

Why haven’t I heard of them!”

Ye Tian asked, standing by the window.

“Boss, you found out?”

“In recent years, ancient relics have frequently appeared in the Mortal World, and some ancient martial arts families have emerged.

The Mercenary Family is a top-tier martial arts family, consisting of many smaller families.”

“You’ve been in retreat for years; the martial arts world has changed drastically.

Yinkui Sect, Wutian Sect, Mercenary Family, Situ Family, Wang Family, their strength is unfathomable!”

“Don’t be misled by the name Mercenary Family; they don’t actually do mercenary work.”

“On the surface, they make ordinary weapons, but secretly they study spiritual artifacts, treasures, and even counterfeit martial arts weapons.”

“The Mercenary Family reportedly has support from there, strong enough to act recklessly in the Mortal World, seldom provoked.”

“So, boss, why are you inquiring about them?

You want to buy weapons?”

The voice sounded curious.

“No, I need you to find the Mercenary Family’s base and research the Ding Family’s activities over the past few years.”

Ye Tian’s voice was cold.

“Ah, boss, you’re making me work again!”

“The Ding Family is the leading family in Mercenary Family, a challenging task, but it’s a small matter for the Star Pavilion; I’ll report back in a few days.”

“Alright, that’s all; I’m going to sleep.”

“Hey, wait, boss, chat a bit more!!”

“Beep…beep…beep”

The call was already disconnected.

Ding Family.

“Congratulations, Young Master, your cultivation has reached a new level.

I think anyone on the Heavenly Pride List is trash before you.”

Someone bowing, said to a luxurious, bloodshot-eyed young man with bloodstains at the corner of his mouth.

“Haha, you can’t say that.

Last time I met Mo Yanjin, the first on the Heavenly Pride List, she defeated me with one sword.

It’s not gentlemanly to leave this vengeance unaddressed; I’ll marry her.”

“But she’s rumored to like that broken Pavilion Master, foolishly infatuated without ever seeing him.”

The man licked his lips.
