"That's my business, no need to worry about it." Ye Xingchen grinned. "And I also want to thank you for telling me all this. In return, I will leave you with a whole corpse."
"Ye Xingchen... Ye Xingchen..." Jin Xiang gritted his teeth.
These past few days, he had been thinking that Ye Xingchen wouldn't dare to do anything to him because he had Jin Luocheng standing behind him.
He had always believed that someone would come to rescue him, but over the past few days, his emotions have gone from calm to panic, from panic to fear, from fear to terror, and now to sheer terror.
The fear of death now loomed over him, suffocating him.
"Let's go," Ye Xingchen said simply, and the group turned and got into the car.
Of course, Jin Xiang was still alive in the car, so keeping him around was still somewhat useful.
The vehicle had already been informed by the border control, and they allowed it to pass directly.
Driving forward, we bypassed a no-man's-land and drove for several dozen kilometers before reaching the area of Wuyin Mountain.
Misty Mountain served as a forward base for Jinluo City, acting as a warning and defense force, primarily targeting the Chinese.
Jinluo City is indeed powerful and has a strong background, but the pressure from China is giving them a real headache.
Moreover, apart from the natural barrier of Wuyin Mountain to the north, the three other directions around Jinluo City are easily accessible. The Jin clan had long been fully prepared and would retreat immediately should anything go wrong.
Ten kilometers away from Wuyin Mountain, there were already early warning posts. Upon seeing the vehicle from China, a roadblock was quickly set up, followed by dozens of guns pointing at the convoy, including a heavy machine gun.
"Get out of the car and identify yourself," a guard wearing a red armband ordered sternly.
The insignia on their sleeves is the symbol of Jinluo City. The garrison of Jinluo City all have this red sleeve insignia, so they are also known as the Red Sleeve Army.
"We are mercenaries from abroad, returning from rescuing the city lord," Ye Xingchen said, sticking his head out. "Now I want to see your highest commander of Misty Hidden Mountain."
"Our message is that all five mercenary groups have been wiped out. Who exactly are you?" The guard stared coldly at Ye Xingchen. His men were fully prepared, and the safety on his gun was already off.
If Ye Xingchen's answer does not satisfy him, they will open fire immediately.
"Your information is wrong. Look, isn't this your young city lord?" Ye Xingchen gestured, and the car door was opened.
Two Red Sleeve Army soldiers went forward to check, and sure enough, they saw Jin Xiang sitting in the car, looking completely at ease.
"Young City Lord." The two Red Sleeve Army soldiers were taken aback and quickly bowed, then said, "It is the Young City Lord."
"Let them pass. Immediately notify Chief Chaer that the young city lord has returned." The leader of the Red Sleeve Army was slightly taken aback. He sensed that something was wrong, but he couldn't quite put his finger on it.
However, the person sitting in the car was indeed Jin Xiang. He waved for them to leave, but no one noticed the look of fear in Jin Xiang's eyes.
The car continued forward, traveling smoothly along the mountain road to the Wuyin Mountain Command Post.
A leader carrying several stars on his shoulders walked over. He was Cha'er, the garrison leader of Wuyin Mountain, and also Jin Zhihuan's confidant.
"Young City Lord, you're back?" Chaer was excited. He stumbled and almost fell to the ground because he was walking too fast. His subordinates quickly helped him up.
He shook off his subordinates, strode forward, and reached out to firmly grasp Jin Xiang's hand.
"It's good that you're back, it's good that you're back." Char's tone was excited, and he kept repeating the sentence: "These past few days, the city lord has been unable to eat or drink, and is very worried about the young city lord."
Jin Xiang's body trembled; he was controlled by the Body-Sealing Curse and couldn't utter a single word.
"Young City Lord, what's wrong? Are you injured? Are you feeling unwell?" Char sensed that something was amiss.
Suddenly, Jin Xiang spat out a mouthful of blood and collapsed to his knees with a thud, blood gushing from his mouth.
"Young City Lord, what's going on?" Chaer glared angrily at Ye Xingchen and the others.
"Ye, Ye Xingchen..." After spitting out a mouthful of blood, Jin Xiang's binding spell was finally broken, and he pointed at Ye Xingchen with trembling hands.
"Ye Xingchen?" Char's pupils contracted. He quickly reached for his waist to draw his gun, shouting at the same time, "Take them down!"
However, he cried out too late. Several hidden weapons floated in mid-air, locking his throat. If he moved even slightly, they would kill him immediately.
All his subordinates stood there motionless.
“Are you all dead? Kill them, don’t worry about me,” Char roared.
However, his subordinates remained standing there motionless, as if they were nailed to the ground.
He then discovered that his subordinates had been placed under a spell and were completely unable to move.
He took Char's gun from his hand and slowly walked forward. He smiled and said, "General Char, I have long admired your name. Your name has appeared in the Xuan Yu Pavilion of China more than once. You are also the person Jin Zhihuan trusts the most."
“Ye Xingchen?” Chaer looked at Ye Xingchen angrily: “You actually dare to leave the border of China and come to our Jinluo City’s territory. You have a lot of nerve.”
"Your city lord dares not set foot in China because a master from Xuanyu Pavilion once nearly crippled him with a single palm strike, causing his cultivation to stagnate for five years without any progress," Ye Xingchen said leisurely. "So since then, he has never dared to enter China's territory again."
"So I had no choice but to take the initiative to find him."
"You've got guts, huh? Since you've come to our Jinluo City, then stay here." Chaer laughed angrily, "We have over a thousand soldiers guarding Wuyin Mountain, and we're surrounded by artillery and heavy snipers. Do you believe that with just one signal, the weapons on Giant Spirit Peak ahead will fire all at once and blast this place to the ground?"
Yes, heavy firepower has been deployed on the main peak of Misty Hidden Mountain, Giant Spirit Peak, for defense. The artillery on the position is loaded, and as soon as Chaer gives the signal, the command post will be blasted to the ground.
"Wouldn't you die too?" Ye Xingchen said with a smile. "General Chaer, your life isn't that bad. You'd better take it easy."
"Haha, I'm just a worthless life. It's only because the city lord values me that I have my current status." Chaer sneered, "For the city lord, I've long been prepared to perish together with him."
"You can die, but what about him?" Ye Xingchen pointed at Jin Xiang, who was lying on the ground. "What about your city lord's precious son? Are you going to drag him down with you?"
