Volume 1_Chapter 358: Wealthy and Powerful



Unlike the bustling Great Temple in the distance, the path that Hachimu took him on was obviously not known by many people. Zhang Mu asked and found out that only the leader of the Eight War Riders knew the location of this place.

The Eight War Riders and the Epoch Agent Merchant reached an agreement that the Epoch Agent Merchant would be responsible for guarding this place and strictly guarding the entrance to the temple, which is the Epoch Store. The Eight War Riders are not allowed to interfere with the entire area near the temple.

It is equivalent to giving up a core location in the heart of Hohhot capital, on the condition that the Eight War Riders must regularly deploy the resources in the hands of the Epoch Agent merchants. Of course, this is exactly what they want, so even if this place is given up, transactions must still be conducted normally.

The big temple above is used for show. In the end, they will come back here from the big temple and show the food and weapons that appear out of thin air in front of the people to show their miracles and win the hearts of the people.

When Zhang Mu saw the four Evolver guards who were armed to the teeth and exuding the aura of the second level, he knew how much those Epoch Agents valued this Epoch Store. The strong men who could obviously dominate a region were willing to guard a door for them. It would take a lot of price to make them lower their proud heads.

Four second-level guards, wow, they are really rich.

These second-level guards all wore black masks. Their weapons varied, but they were all melee weapons. Their aura exuded a murderous aura, and the number of lives they had on their hands must have exceeded three digits.

"Stop now!"

One of the black-faced guards raised the Mongolian dagger in his hand and pointed it at Zhang Mu, as if the blade would be unsheathed in the next instant if Zhang Mu took another step forward.

It was because he saw Hachimu, otherwise he would have taken action long ago. The area near the Jiyuan Store is a restricted area. Ordinary people who get close to it will be killed directly in order to prevent the secret from being leaked.

"What the hell are you doing?"

Ha Chimu also got angry, and lowered his giant axe from his shoulder to sweep away the guard's dagger. This was the second time Zhang Mu was stopped, which made him feel very embarrassed.

"City Lord Hachimu, there is an order from above that the temple is about to open. No one is allowed to enter in the next few days, including you, City Lord Hachimu."

Although he kept calling him City Lord Hachimu, there was no respect at all in the words of the black-faced guard.

They were directly employed by the group of Epoch agent merchants, and the city lord of the Eight War Riders could not afford to hire them. In addition, even if their individual strength was not as good as Ha Chimu's, the four of them were absolutely confident that they could kill Ha Chimu here when they joined forces.

"This is still the capital of Hohhot."

The veins on Ha Chimu's arms were already bulging, and Zhang Mu could feel the energy fluctuations in his body beginning to surge, a sign that he was about to use his abilities and go berserk. Too many people had dared to provoke him these days.

At this moment, Zhang Mu reached out and held down Ha Chimu's axe-holding arm, and said slowly, "Brother, there's no need to be angry. You also said that this place has been booked by that gang from you."

Ha Chimu was a little puzzled. He didn't understand why Zhang Mu didn't let him take action. Even these mercenaries ignored his words.

Zhang Mu gave him a reassuring look and pulled Yuan Rui forward.

Seeing Zhang Mu coming up, the black-faced guard shook his wrist and a cold light came out of its sheath, attacking Zhang Mu's face. He had to be cautious about Hachimu himself, but even if he killed the young man with a calm face on the spot, the leader of the Eight War Riders would be unable to do anything to them.

The black-faced guard who attacked now seemed to have talked too much. Seeing their companion attack, the other three also attacked without hesitation, attacking the vital points of Zhang Mu and Yuan Rui at the same time.

However, Zhang Mu just gently raised his right hand, with his fingers facing the direction of the four people, and shook his palm slightly, which forced the four people to twist their bodies in the air and stop attacking. They all stared at the position of Zhang Mu's right ring finger with surprise.

Seeing Zhang Mu's action, Yuan Rui also winked playfully and raised her right hand as well. The two black rings flashed alternately. In the eyes of these four people, it was as if they had seen the most terrifying thing, and they subconsciously put away the weapons in their hands.

There was no way they would mistake the black ring on the ring finger. They were actually agents of Jiyuan, and there were two of them at once?

“Are you one of the adults??”

The black-faced guard asked tentatively. Zhang Mu did not say anything.

, just pulling Yuan Rui forward.

Someone behind him spoke slowly, "He is not one of the adults. He should be the same kind as them."

"No one is allowed to enter without the permission of an adult."

One of the three people who had not spoken just now stood up and spoke to Zhang Mu, but Zhang Mu did not seem to take his words to heart. He continued to move forward on his own, getting closer and closer to the entrance.

The man's voice gradually turned colder. He raised his weapon, a sickle, and slowly raised it, pointing it at Zhang Mu and said, "Without the adults' orders, no one is allowed to approach the temple."

At this time, Zhang Mu seemed to have finally heard what he said. He turned his head and looked at him and said, "I wonder if your adults have said whether we can let people of the same kind as them in?"

"this......"

The black-faced guard holding the sickle was stunned for a moment, it seemed that he really hadn't said that.

In the moment they hesitated, Zhang Mu and Yuan Rui's figures had been absorbed into the distorted overlapping space and instantly disappeared from everyone's sight. After the ripples in the space disappeared, no trace was left.

They are agents of Epoch Store, so naturally they are not restricted by the requirement to actually enter the core. Normal people would not be able to find anything even if they walked to the door of Epoch Store, but as long as they are within the coverage of Epoch Store, they can enter directly.

"So they really are..."

The black-faced guard, holding the Mongolian dagger tightly, looked at the disappearing backs of Zhang Mu and the other man and muttered to himself.

The man holding the sickle behind him urged him, "Hurry up and tell the adults this news!"

Just as they were saying this, a strong wind suddenly blew up in the air, and a black shadow quietly landed on the ground amid the whistling wind.

He was wearing a black robe, his face was covered with a thick black veil, his head was lowered, and only a pair of eyes were revealed.

But this look revealed a cold indifference to everything, as if he didn't notice Hachimu's existence. He slowly walked in front of the four black-faced guards, raised his head and looked in the direction of the underground temple, and slowly said, "I already know."
