I thought that with the Hundred-Eyed Golden Bull Dog being privately conquered by Xu Yang's team, and the two blind large mercenary groups allied with Xu Yang, they were all wiped out in anger, and the conflict on the local battlefield came to an end.

However, just when the four members of Xu Yang's team were planning to move further and advance deeper into the Kunlun Abyss, a special situation that they had not expected occurred again.

Dozens of stalkers dressed in black suddenly appeared one after another. In a flash, like a stream of light, dozens of people surrounded Xu Yang and his four companions.

Soon, a black shadow moved in the air several times and landed in front of Xu Yang. The aura of this masked man was very strong, much stronger than those mercenary warriors who were turned into ashes by Xu Yang's flick of the hand.

When Xu Yang took a closer look, he happened to see the level seven mark on the medal on this guy's shoulder.

"He is actually the owner of the seventh-level mercenary medal. It seems that he must be a very famous mercenary leader in Jialan City."

Long Kun couldn't help but say this, but the other party just glanced at him and then turned his gaze to the team leader Xu Yang.

“I can see that you are the strongest of this team, the absolute leader of the other three, so I will conduct this negotiation with you.

The Hundred-Eyed Golden Bull Dog is the result of a transaction that our Black Duke family exclusively authorized to the two mercenary groups. In other words, the two mercenary groups paid us a considerable amount of gold coins.

Only then did I obtain the hunting rights for the Hundred-Eyed Golden Bull Dog, a seventh-level demon lord, because the place where you are now is a stronghold in the Kunlun Abyss that our Black Duke family has been operating for many years.

You four seem to be outsiders, and you don't know that most of the plains outside the Kunlun Abyss are occupied by the noble families of Jialan City all year round. If foreign mercenaries want to hunt in this place, they have to pay us a certain amount of compensation.

"Of course, people like you who have just obtained the qualifications to establish a mercenary group and do not have much income can pay the corresponding amount by transferring the profit share."

Hearing what the black-masked man in front of them said, Xu Yang and the other three couldn't help but frown.

"What?

From what you said, this Kunlun Abyss has become your family's business. I think what I said is probably correct."

Long Kun was clearly suppressing his anger, and asked a question in a sarcastic tone with a half-smile.

However, the masked man in the dark actually nodded calmly.

"If you insist on understanding it this way, the general meaning is quite appropriate.

There is no other way. The major aristocratic forces in Jialan City rely on such means to maintain the operation of their families.

No one can break this balance.”

Just when Long Kun was about to turn hostile and teach these people a lesson, Xu Yang gently raised his hand to stop the other party.

Firstly, Xu Yang had already judged that these dozen or so black shadow stalkers dared to surround the four of them so blatantly, and they must have come prepared. He thought that there should be a cultivator base belonging to the Black Duke family stationed outside this place.

If a conflict really breaks out between the two sides, then countless top-level cultivators from the Black Duke family will come to support in a very short period of time, and things will get out of hand.

Of course, Xu Yang and his three companions are not afraid of these low-end cultivators who are as weak as ants. However, if they want to obtain the fifth-level mercenary medal according to the rules of Jialan City, they cannot ignore the exclusive channel of exchanging points of the Jialan City Mercenary Association.

With the Black Duke family being a top noble force in the entire Jialan City, it should be easy for them to use their influence to interfere with the subsequent redemption of points by Xu Yang's team.

Therefore, out of this consideration and in order to keep a low profile as much as possible, Xu Yang did not immediately turn against these people. He was still looking for a win-win way to solve the problem.

"It's understandable that you have to abide by the rules of the place you go. I just want to find out where your Black Duke family's territory is located, and how much of the so-called spoils of war you mentioned will be shared."

The masked leader snorted and laughed, as if he had gained a slight advantage in arrogance because Xu Yang and the other three had changed their attitude. He also seemed to naively believe that it was the power and influence of his Black Duke family that really overwhelmed Xu Yang and the other three.

"Haha, it's very simple. We only need to take the profit from the points on the fourth floor, and the remaining 60% will be yours."

Hearing what he said, Ling Yao did not speak for a long time. The girl flew into a rage on the spot and directly drew out the dazzling sword light from behind her. The materialized sword light aura condensed in the palm of her hand and immediately pressed against the neck of the masked black shadow in front of her.

“Are you kidding us?

Or does your Black Duke family have to give such a high percentage of the share to all outsiders? Don't you think it's unfair to give you such a large portion of the spoils we fought so hard for?

In this way, the several noble forces in Jialan City can reap the benefits and unscrupulously exploit the spoils of war that the ordinary people of Jialan City have worked so hard to risk their lives to obtain!"

The masked man sneered, "I am not here to reason with you. The Black Duke Family has its own rules. If you are not satisfied, you can challenge us in your own way, and you will bear all the consequences.

Oh, by the way, I forgot to tell you that even in the current mercenary association of Jialan City, the Black Duke family is one of the five seats in the Elders' Council behind the scenes.

In other words, the Black Duke family is also one of the behind-the-scenes manipulators of the entire mercenary interest chain in Jialan City. If our Black Jue family issues an order, it should be easy to erase all qualifications of your mercenary group.

At that time, even if you kill all the monsters in the Kunlun Abyss, you will not be able to obtain the medal level, let alone the status of a walker. "

Originally, Xu Yang really didn't intend to be angry with this guy, but once this tone appeared, it was obvious that the other party was threatening Xu Yang, and Xu Yang, the boss, could never tolerate such an attitude of several people.

"Haha, are you threatening our Invincible Mercenary Group?

I really don't believe that your Black Duke family has the guts to disqualify our Invincible Mercenary Group.

To tell you the truth, the Hundred-Eyed Golden Bull Dog is our own trophy. If you want to share it, there is no possibility.

Of course, we are not the one who initiated the war.

If you agree, the four of us will immediately leave the Black Jue Family's territory and head to other families' areas to search for monsters, and will no longer disturb your family's forces."

After Xu Yang finished speaking, he was about to leave with his three teammates, but he didn't expect that the masked man in black would still not give up and directly issued a very special order.
