I See the Aura of the Great Emperor in All My Disciples

Chapter 274: Accepting The Mission And Leaving The City!

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

The night was over and day broke.

Ye Qiubai and the other two arrived at the entrance of the Mercenary Association early.

The members of the Scaled Armor Mercenary Group, led by He Lin, slowly walked over.

There was mockery in his eyes.

He smiled and said, “Kid, I’ll give you one last piece of advice. Don’t embarrass yourself with your current strength.”

“I can also let bygones be bygones since you’re newcomers.”

“Perhaps I can even guide you on other missions.”

Ye Qiubai smiled and shook his head. “Guide us? Doesn’t that mean we have to split the rewards too?” Ye Qiubai rejected the offer outright.

Behind He Lin, a lean man shouted, “Don’t be so shameless! They’re just a group of newbies. Thankfully, our leader has a good temper. If it were any other mercenary group with a bad temper, do you think you could still enforce the rules of the Mercenary Association?”

“I’m afraid you won’t even be able to get out of the Mercenary Association!”

Hearing the man’s words, Blackie took a step forward and revealed a murderous intent!

He Lin, on the other hand, stopped the lean man and said, “They’re just juniors. Is there a need to be angry with them? Can’t they act like martial cultivators?”

Hearing this, the lean man pursed his lips and took a step back.

However, He Lin’s words clearly looked down on Ye Qiubai and the other two.

They thought that they were just juniors.

“Alright, let’s go.”

With that, the six members of the Scales Mercenary Group took the lead and walked towards the east.

The biggest force in the Rising Clouds City was the City Lord’s Manor.

Under the City Lord’s Manor, were three aristocratic families.

The Yang family, the Li family, and the Kang family.

The Yang family was the employer this time.

When the group arrived at the Yang family, there were already two carriages waiting at the entrance.

Beside the carriage were 10 guards.

The guards were all at the Peak Stage Qianyuan Realm.

One of the elders was at the half-step Void God Realm.

Just the guards alone had such strength.

Moreover, this was only a small city aristocratic family at the border of the Boundless World.

It could be seen how big the difference between the Wilderness Region and the Boundless World was.

As expected of the first region of the lower latitudes!

In front of the door, a young man saw He Lin and the others.

Frowning, he said, “What took you so long? Is the Mercenary Association so inefficient now?”

He Lin was not angry. He went forward and spread his hands with a smile. “Young Master Yang, please forgive me. I was delayed by some matters on the way.”

Obviously, He Lin knew this so-called Young Master Yang.

Yang Qi asked curiously, “What is it that is more important than the mission?”

Hence, He Lin briefly recounted what had happened between him and the Cottage Mercenary Group.

At the same time, he said, “This will depend on Young Master Yang’s judgment. Do you want our Scales Mercenary Group to escort you or those newcomers?”

Ye Qiubai naturally wouldn’t remain silent. He walked forward and said in a neither servile nor overbearing manner, “We accepted the mission first. According to the rules, we will naturally escort you.”

“Of course, there’s no need to worry about our strength.”

Hearing this, Yang Qi sized up Ye Qiubai slightly before sneering, “How can people in the Qianyuan Realm not be worried? They’re even inferior to our Yang family’s guards.”

“Alright, i’ll give you 10 crystals. Leave now…” He Lin also smiled.

Ye Qiubai shrugged and prepared to leave with Blackie and Shi Sheng.

Since the other party had said so, they could not shamelessly beg the other party to accept them.

Just as Yang Qi was about to bring out the crystals…

A pleasant female voice sounded from the carriage.

“Big Brother, forget it. Let them escort us as well. The more people we have, the safer we will be.”

Yang Qi frowned slightly and walked to the side of the carriage, saying, “Little Sister, even though that’s the case, how should we calculate the remuneration?”

“Whoever contributes the most will take the hundred crystals. Do you have any objections?”

Clearly, this last sentence was asking Ye Qiubai and He Lin.

Under normal circumstances, He Lin naturally wouldn’t accept this condition.

You must be joking. Isn’t this making the mercenaries work for free?

However, he naturally couldn’t let Ye Qiubai and the other two newcomers laugh at him now, so he nodded and smiled. “Miss Yang, you’re good at scheming.”

Ye Qiubai saw this and also nodded.

Yang Qi was also very satisfied with this result.

It was not bad to have three more hired thugs.

They might not be strong enough, but at least they could charge forward as shields at the critical moment.

At the thought of this, Yang Qi sneered and said, “Since you’ve nodded in agreement, you must listen to our orders and arrangements when you’re carrying out the escort. Do you understand?”

Ye Qiubai and the other two didn’t answer.

Yang Qi took it that they had agreed.

“Alright, let’s go.”

The group set off towards the outskirts of Rising Clouds City.

Even though the Boundless Realm was publicly acknowledged as the number one realm in the lower latitudes, there were still bandits and assassins.

Outside Rising Clouds City, were some bandit forces.

They specifically intercepted merchants from Rising Clouds City or merchants who wanted to enter.

It was precisely because of this that the Mercenary Guild had an escort mission, but the Yang family was not a merchant, but a cultivation family.

They were not afraid of those bandits.

Instead, it was the obstruction of other families and factions.

The purpose of their trip was heading to Dragon Enlightenment City, which was adjacent to Rising Clouds City!

The Yang family had a marriage alliance with the City Lord’s Manor of Dragon Enlightenment City, which was the Long family.

Once the Yang Family and the Long Family had a marriage alliance.

It would definitely cause the Yang family’s strength to increase greatly!

The Long Family’s strength was in all the cities at the border after all.

It could be ranked in the top two.

Therefore, the aristocratic families competed with the Yang family.

It would definitely stop this marriage.

Naturally, they would be intercepted outside Rising Clouds City!

This was also why the Yang family, as a cultivation family, had to hire someone from the Mercenary Association.

In Rising Clouds City, with the help of the City Lord’s Manor and the Yang family, no one would attack in the city.

After leaving the city, all the guards entered a state of nervousness.

Even though He Lin was usually arrogant, he was qualified as a mercenary, after leaving the city, he also entered a combat state.

The six members of the Scales Mercenary Group raised their spiritual qi slightly to guard against the other party’s sneak attack.

Only Ye Qiubai and the other two had calm expressions.

They were even discussing Lu Changsheng.

“I wonder how Master is doing?”

“He must miss us.”

“That’s what I thought…”

He Lin sneered when he saw this scene.

Newcomers indeed.

When Yang Qi saw this scene, he shouted angrily, “What are you doing? Is this how you become mercenaries? What if someone launches a sneak attack? Can you bear the responsibility?!”

Ye Qiubai looked at Yang Qi and replied calmly, “There’s no ambush around at the moment.”

Even though Ye Qiubai and the other two were chatting, but Ye Qiubai could use the sword domain to detect the hidden aura around him.

That was why he seemed so relaxed.

Yang Qi said angrily, “If anything goes wrong, be careful not to lose your heads!”

Just like that, they walked on.

Night gradually fell…
