"Leader, we've been stationed here for two days. When are we going to set off?"
Inside the largest barracks, a group of mercenaries were idly complaining to Yu Tu.
"Let's go, let's go? What do you mean by 'let's go'? Do you even know how to get out of here?" Yu Tu shouted.
It's no wonder she got angry, because ever since she became the leader of the alliance, she's had a lot of troubles, and the most pressing of all is the mercenaries' endless questions about when she's going home.
Go home! Are you kidding me?! The tomb of the warlord is closed, and you still want to go back to Haicheng?
You had the guts to come here back then, but now you don't have the guts to stay?
"That's precisely because I don't know, that's why I came to ask the Alliance Leader!" Geng Ge said sheepishly, shrinking his head.
Despite being scolded, these people didn't show any anger. They all knew what happened in Echo Valley that day: their leader, along with a few others, swept through the entire valley, killing not only a group of traitors among the mercenaries, but also causing all the Holy Spirits to disappear without a trace after that day.
As for the Spirit King! No one knows whether he is dead or not, but they have given up hope, because judging from their leader's leisurely demeanor, the Spirit King is probably dead.
"Don't bother me, or don't blame me for not understanding the proper etiquette between men and women!" Yu Tu threatened through gritted teeth.
However, when they heard that men and women should not touch each other, the facial muscles of the mercenaries trembled uncontrollably, as if recalling the fear of being dominated.
Just the day before yesterday, the six idiots from Desert Eagle got together to drink because they had nothing to do. You know, what kind of behavior can men have after a few drinks? They started bragging, joking, and looking for beautiful women. As a result, the six idiots ended up with the most attractive one, An Xiaoyu.
Good heavens! Everyone in the Mercenary Alliance exclaimed in disbelief. These six idiots not only got a good beating from the shield warrior next to An Xiaoyu, but when they woke up the next day, all six of them had dropped nine levels in cultivation!
They dropped to the ninth rank! All six of them, who were originally at the super ninth rank, dropped back to the ninth rank. Instantly, the Desert Eagle, a top-tier mercenary team, was forced to retire.
Reason for retirement: Teasing the leader of the alliance!
Since then, rumors have circulated about the leader of the alliance, the Devil Man-Eating Flower.
"Who is this, throwing such a tantrum so early in the morning!" Jiang Yuan stretched and walked in from outside, the little dumpling on his shoulder looking around adorably.
Having rested for two and a half days, Jiang Yuan was now in high spirits. Since all the Holy Spirits were dead, there was no need to wear a mask to hide anything. He was in an exceptionally good mood because he didn't need to pretend.
"Isn't this that scumbag!" Qing Shuang raised an eyebrow. She had seen this guy before. An Xiaoyu was with this man when she went to buy the news from Huiyin Valley.
"Brother Yuan!"
Little Fatty was overjoyed to see Jiang Yuan come out and immediately gave him a bear hug.
"It's him!" Takesuke's face darkened. He might forget that person, but he would never forget that panda.
Jiang Yuan had not shown his face since returning from Echo Valley, so the Mercenary Alliance had no idea that he existed.
"Finally, you've decided to come out!" Yu Tu pouted, feigning arrogance.
"I think I just heard that someone wants to leave. Where do you want to go?" Jiang Yuan's gaze swept over the group of people in front of him.
These people were a great help to him. If it weren't for the mercenaries blocking the two exits of Echo Valley, he would never have been able to kill so many alien beasts. So Jiang Yuan was grateful to them from the bottom of his heart.
"What help can an eighth-rank person like you be!" Quick Gun said coldly. Although he had been demoted to the ninth rank, his inherent arrogance remained, so why would he talk to an eighth-rank person like him?
"Boss, this guy dated the Alliance Leader until he reached the eighth rank, so his actual combat strength is very strong!" Wu Jie explained to Quick Gun with a dark face.
In their eyes, An Xiaoyu was the real monster, the number one killer of men.
"Like us?" A hint of sympathy flashed in Quick-Gun's eyes.
The fastest way to make friends in this world is undoubtedly through shared misfortune!
"I guess so!" Takesuke looked completely bewildered. What did he mean by "the same as us"? We were flirting with them, they were flirting! How could they be the same?!
"Brother, I didn't realize!" Quickgun bowed to Jiang Yuan, as if they were kindred spirits. "My apologies for my earlier rudeness. Let's get to know each other again, Quickgun!"
"They're all ninth-tier!"
Jiang Yuan noticed the cultivation levels of the Desert Eagle group and looked at Yu Tu in astonishment. There was really no one here who could make a man's cultivation level drop except for this Heavenly Demon.
"Forget it, don't pursue it. They were just joking!" Yu Tu subconsciously grabbed Jiang Yuan's arm. He still vividly remembered the last time Jiang Yuan killed someone because of him. Now that he was the nominal leader of the alliance, it wouldn't be good for him to kill his subordinates again.
"Are you so sure I'm here to avenge you?" Jiang Yuan teased, looking at Yu Tu and Little Fatty. He laughed and said, "I only stepped in before because no one else was there to help you. Now that someone is helping you, you probably don't need me anymore!"
Yu Tu's expression instantly turned indifferent, and he loosened his grip.
Seeing this, Jiang Yuan turned around gracefully and said, "I am Jiang Yuan, greetings to all of you! I just heard that you are in a hurry to leave, but do you know where this place is? And what is your way of leaving this place?"
Quick Gun and Deadly Shot all shook their heads. Among them, Frost stepped forward and said, "When we accepted this mercenary mission, the information from headquarters indicated that this place was an ancient ruin. As long as we stayed for seven days, we could choose to leave on our own!"
“Yes, that’s what we were told when we accepted the mission, but seven days have passed and we still don’t know how to leave!” Huo Yun said, glancing at Jiang Yuan.
In her mind, this man's identity overlapped with that of the masked man, and everything felt so natural. Even the battle in Echo Valley three days prior seemed plausible; only the man who had so earnestly sought her guidance on the Flame Domain could have created such a domain, encompassing half of Echo Valley.
“Same as always!” Deadly shrugged. Almost every mercenary who came here received the same information.
"I regret to inform you!"
Jiang Yuan pursed his lips and revealed a mysterious smile. He sighed with a smile, "You're probably not going to leave here!"
"What!"
The group panicked and wanted to get an answer from Jiang Yuan.
Jiang Yuan had no intention of keeping the secret of the Tomb of the War Lord any longer, and in fact, there was no need to.
“This place is a cemetery, a deadly place in itself, and we are tomb raiders. Do you think the tomb owner would easily let go of those who offend him?” Jiang Yuan sneered.
"Impossible, how could this be a tomb!" Quick-Gun immediately retorted.
If this is a tomb, how powerful must the person buried there be!
"What if this is the tomb of an being close to a god!"
After Jiang Yuan finished speaking, he stared intently at the group of people. His plan was simple: to overturn the entire tomb of the warlord.
His blood spirit can only be condensed in the inner sanctum, but once he enters the inner sanctum, he will be at the mercy of others. Therefore, before entering the inner sanctum, he needs to find the key points of the five elements rebirth method, namely wood and earth.
