After leaving Wu Ta, Ye Guan sat on the stone steps and let out a low sigh.

  A bit disappointed!

  He thought he could meet the master of human swordsmanship!

  But things turned out to be contrary to his wishes.

  At this time, Xiaotou suddenly spoke out after being silent for a long time, "If you can't see it, then forget it!"

  Upon hearing this, Ye Guan hastily saluted and then said: "Ta Ye, why didn't you speak up earlier?"

  The little tower fell silent for a moment before saying, "There is an extremely powerful expert here, I'd better not speak out loud."

  Ye Guan's eyes widened in shock as he glanced around, "Ta Ye, an extremely powerful expert?"

  "Yes!" said Xiao Ta Dao.

  Ye Guan wanted to ask more questions when suddenly, that fatty Xu Qin and Li Qian appeared in front of Ye Guan not far away.

  Two men walked up to Ye Xuan's front, Xu Qin smiled and bowed his fist, "Yang brother, congratulations on getting the first place!"

  Ye Guan shook his head and smiled, "The other party hasn't arrived yet, so it can only be said that luck is good!"

  Xu Qin was somewhat perplexed, "The other party hasn't arrived?"

  Ye nodded his head, "Yes! I waited for a whole incense stick time, but the other party didn't show up either, so it's really just luck!"

  Xu Qin and Li Qian exchanged a glance, both of them somewhat perplexed that the other hadn't shown up!

  At this time, Li Qian suddenly smiled and said: "Yang brother, we came to find you this time, wanting to invite you to join our 'Hao Han' mercenary group!"

  Upon hearing this, Ye Guan was taken aback for a moment, "Hao Han Mercenary Group?"

  Li Qian nodded, seeing Ye Guan seemed to not understand the mercenary corps, so he explained: "Yes! In our Zhongtu Shen Zhou, there are tens of thousands of mercenary corps, and our Haohan Mercenary Corps is ranked second, its strength is extremely powerful!"

  Ye Guan thought for a moment, then asked, "What's the benefit?"

  Upon hearing this, both of their expressions froze, but they quickly burst out laughing.

  Li Qian burst out laughing and said: "Yang brother, you're so direct! There are benefits to this, for example, we can take on some bounty missions together!"

  Ye Guan suddenly became somewhat curious, "Bounty mission?"

  Li Qian nodded and continued to explain: "In the Mercenary Guild, there are all sorts of bounty tasks with extremely high rewards."

  "How high?" Ye Guan hastily asked.

  Li Qian stared at Ye Guan, "The highest-level bounty mission, with 30 million gold crystals!"

  "Thirty million!"

  Ye Guan heard this and his expression immediately changed, he slapped his thigh and exclaimed, "I've got it!"

  Li Qian rolled her eyes, "Get a grip, do you even know what the mission is about?"

  Ye Guan smiled wryly, "I'm getting a bit excited!"

  Li Qian smiled and said: "This task is to go to Suī Yuān to capture the number one demon of Zhong Tu, Ji Xuan!"

  When he heard this, Ye Guan was stunned on the spot!

  Quiet and mysterious!

  He naturally knew that when he and Xiao Guo rushed through the pass in the lower realm, their speed was not the fastest at that time. The fastest one was this silent and mysterious person!

  Li Qian nodded, "This person is not only the number one demon of the previous generation in Zhongtuguo, but also the head of Guanxuan Academy. She is also one of the two most beautiful women in Zhongtuguo. With a promising future ahead of her, she inexplicably killed her master and many elders and strong practitioners within Guanxuan Academy that year. Since then, she has been wanted by the academy!"

  Ye Guan's eyebrows slightly furrowed, "She betrayed the Guanxuan Academy?"

  Li Qian nodded slightly, "Yes!"

  Ye Guan was somewhat puzzled, "In the academy, is there no one who is her enemy?"

  Li Qian shook his head, "She not only killed her master, but also dozens of elders... She's really abnormal!"

  "Where is the person from the General's mansion?"

  Li Qian said in a low voice, "The General Hospital also sent people to look for her back then, but she fell into the Crime Abyss! That place is extremely complicated, and the people from the General Hospital who went in couldn't find her either. In the end, they had no choice but to return empty-handed. What's even more strange is that for some unknown reason, the General Hospital stopped caring about this matter afterwards, as if they intentionally suppressed it. Afterwards, the Academy issued a wanted notice."

  Quiet and mysterious!

  It seems there's something fishy about this matter!

  Just then, Li Qian smiled and said: "Yang brother, are you interested in joining our Haohan Mercenary Group? This time, we received a mission to hunt down an Emperor-level demon beast. If we can kill it, the Demon Clan will not only give us 10 million gold crystals but also 20 Heaven-level demon beast cores."

  10 million!

  Ye Guan's heart skipped a beat!

  And there were also twenty Heaven Rank demon beast inner cores!

  "Good!" Ye Guan said immediately.

  Upon hearing this, Li Qian was overjoyed. He hastily took out a badge and handed it to Ye Guan, "Yang brother, from now on, you are a member of our Haohan Mercenary Group! You are the fourth one, so we'll call you Fourth Brother!"

  Fourth brother!

  Ye Guan shook his head and smiled.

  Fat man Xu Qin was also excited, laughing with his fat shaking wildly.

  Li Qian suddenly said: "Let's set off now!"

  After finishing speaking, he took out a scroll and crushed it, in an instant, the three people disappeared directly on the spot.

  Shortly after the three disappeared, a middle-aged man suddenly appeared on the scene.

  A middle-aged man wearing a clean Chinese robe, with some gray hair on the sides of his head, next to him is the old tower guard holding a pipe.

  A middle-aged man said in a low voice: "No wonder Chief Ye attaches so much importance to this person... Breaking through ten layers with one breath, he's indeed a freak!"

  The old man guarding the tower nodded, "This person's sword is incredibly fast, surpassing two levels, it should be an easy task! Moreover, he has not used his full strength yet!"

  A middle-aged man said in a low voice: "The first two generations of the head of Zhongtu Shen's state were both fools! The last generation lost that Ji Xuan, and this generation lost Ye Guan, it's really foolish!"

  The old man guarding the tower looked at the middle-aged man and said, "Gu Yuan, are you going to win him over?"

  Long live the principal!

  This man is none other than Gu Zhao Yuan, the newly appointed head of the Zhongtu Divine State's Xuanyuan Academy!

  Gu Zhouyuan shook his head and smiled, "I'll tell you a secret, do you know why Chief Ye was transferred away, and why the hospital transferred me here?"

  The old man shook his head.

  "Because I am representing our family!"

  The old man was stunned.

  Gu Chao Yuan smiled and said: "Before Ye Shou Xi left, did he see this young master Ye Guan?"

  The old man nodded, "Yes!"

  Gu Zhouyuan shook his head and smiled, "She's warning me that if I dare to help Anjia and the Ancient Heavenly Dragon deal with Ye Guan, she'll never let me off!"

  The old man let out a soft sigh.

  The Shuyuan has already begun internal strife!

  Gu Chao-yuan said in a low voice, "This time, although Ye Shou-xi was suppressed by the aristocratic families, it's not something I can afford to offend. So, I came here, not seeking merit, but just hoping to avoid mistakes. In short, pretend to be stupid and muddle through, don't offend either side, and that's it!"

  The old man said in a low voice: "In this great struggle for the fate of the Tao, our academy..."

  "Fight for what? The geniuses and freaks have all been offended by the first two courtyard owners! Now you give me a mess, what can I fight with?"

  The old man was silent.

  Gu Zhouyuan let out a low sigh, "Originally, Ye Guan was an excellent candidate, but... to be honest, although I represent the Gu family, I have to say that what the An family did this time is really somewhat unbecoming! It's supposed to be a fair fight, if you lose then just admit it! Yet they still pulled off this stunt, this really loses face for the ancestors of the An family!"

  He shook his head slightly, "And this True Dragon clan, they're just a bunch of fools. Even if you want to curry favor with An Jia, there's no need to risk your life for it! Bootlickers! They've licked their way to having nothing left!"

  After he finished speaking, he turned around and left.

  ...

  After several hours, Ye Guan followed Xu Qin and two others to a desolate plain, where he saw another person, a woman.

  The woman had a tall and slender figure, wearing a tight-fitting long dress, with two broken knives at her waist, and a knife scar on her neck.

  Her eyes were sharp and piercing, like the edge of a knife.

  When he saw the woman, Xu Qin immediately ran over and smiled: "Fourth brother, come, let me introduce you, this is our mercenary group leader, also known as Big Sister!"

  The leaf glanced at the woman and then clasped his fists together, "Good day, miss!"

  Girl!

  Xu Qin nodded and then hastily said: "Call Big Sister!"

  The woman stared at Ye Guan, saying nothing.

  Ye Guan thought for a moment and then said: "She... is too young! Calling her 'older sister' doesn't sound quite right!"

  Xu Qin's face suddenly changed, and at this time, the woman smiled, "Young?"

  He nodded his head and said seriously: "So young!"

  The girl's mouth corners slightly raised, "You're quite eloquent!"

  Xu Qin's expression froze, staring at Ye Guan in shock.

  Damn it!

  Are you kidding me? Are you just trying to flatter?

  The woman suddenly asked, "Are you a Swordsman?"

  He nodded in agreement.

  The woman nodded slightly, "Since you've already joined our mercenary group, then you're one of us now!"

  As she spoke, she took out a silver ring and handed it to Ye Guan.

  Inside the ring were two Heaven-tier demonic beast inner cores!

  "What's this?"

  The woman smiled and said: "Consider it a meeting gift!"

  "Damn it!"

  Xu Qin jumped up on one side, "Sister, why didn't we have a meeting gift? This is too unfair!"

  The older sister said in a soft voice: "Others are not only handsome, but also sound good when speaking, what about you?"

  Xu Qin's face was covered in black lines, "Judging people by their appearance is not good!"

  Sister smiled and said: "You can still lose some weight, there's still hope for you!"

  Xu Qin: "......"

  At this time, Li Qian smiled and said, "Let's set off!"

  The elder sister nodded slightly, "Follow me!"

  As she spoke, she turned and walked away into the distance!

  Ye Guan put away his ring and followed him. On the way, he glanced at a distance of 100 meters away, where there was a transmission array.

  Ye Guan felt somewhat curious, "Where are we going?"

  Big sister laughed and said: "Guilty!"

  Heinous crime!

  Ye Guan's expression changed slightly, and then he said: "Isn't that place supposed to be very dangerous and chaotic?"

  Sister nodded, "It's indeed very dangerous and chaotic, but we're not weak either!"

  Xu Qin smiled and said: "Yes!"

  Ye Guan nodded slightly and then asked, "This time our mission is to hunt down a Tier 1 demonic beast, but as far as I know, haven't humans and demonic beasts always been at peace?"

  Elder sister said: "The ones who issued the wanted notice for this Emperor-level demon beast are not just the Guanxuan Academy, but also the demonic tribes of the demonic realm. This demon beast actually swallowed a small city with tens of thousands of people in order to cultivate! This enraged the academy, so they demanded that the demonic tribe give an explanation. The demonic tribe, in order to shirk responsibility, issued a wanted notice... However..."

  She said with a slight shake of her head, "Neither the Academy nor the Demon Realm has sent strong pursuers to chase after this Emperor-level demon beast!"

  Ye Guan didn't understand, "Why?"

  The elder sister smiled and said, "Because it's not worth the effort! Although there are strong people in the academy, those are imperial-level demon beasts, their combat power is extraordinary. They have been living a life of luxury for too long, how dare they go to the knife's edge? As for the demon realm, although that demon beast swallowed a city of humans, it swallowed humans, not demons, so they won't possibly go after killing their own kind."

  Ye Guan said in a low voice: "The Academy is indeed the maintainer of the world's order!"

  Elder sister lightly smiled, "For the group of administrators in the academy, as long as their positions and interests are not affected, let alone tens of millions of people dying, even if hundreds of millions of people die, they won't care too much. But if this matter gets to the head office, and the head office investigates and holds them accountable, threatening their official positions, do you believe that within half an hour, the Zhongtu Xuanxian Academy can get rid of that Emperor-level demonic beast?"

  Ye Guan nodded slightly, "I understand!"

  The elder sister smiled and walked into the transmission array, Ye Guan and the other two also hurriedly followed in!

  The teleportation array activated, and in an instant, several people vanished into thin air!

  A moment later, Ye Guan felt himself come to a stop. He opened his eyes to find the light around him somewhat dim. He lifted his head and looked up, and at the end of his line of sight, he faintly saw an ancient city, and only one ancient city.

  Big sister said: "That is Sin City, it's the only safe place in Sin Abyss, and staying inside for a day costs 1 million gold crystals!"

  Upon hearing this, Ye Guan suddenly felt some heartache!

  That's ridiculous!

  The means by which the upper class makes money is simply terrifying!

  The older sister looked around and whispered: "Where is he?"

  At this moment, a man suddenly came from afar, very fast, and in the blink of an eye he arrived in front of the four people.

  The man looked at his older sister and said, "Let's go!"

  After finishing speaking, he turned around and flew away into the distance!

  The four elder sisters followed immediately.

  On the road, Big Sister said: "This is a contact, he knows where that Emperor-level demon beast is!"

  Ye Guan nodded slightly.

  Before long, the man brought four people to a large mountain range. After passing through a dense forest, the man suddenly stopped and pointed to a distant valley, "The monster is in it! It was seriously injured before and is now recovering!"

  The older sister stared at the man, "I'll pay you after I'm sure!"

  The man's eyebrows slightly furrowed, "You have to give it to me now!"

  Elder sister calmly said: "If it's not inside, didn't I give in vain?"

  The man had not spoken yet, when Ye Guan suddenly pulled his elder sister behind him. The next moment, a sword was already pressed against the man's brow, "You dare to deceive us!"

  The man subconsciously said: "How did you know..."

  As soon as he finished speaking, his face changed drastically and he hastily stopped.

  The three sisters' faces changed drastically!

  This is a pit!

  Ye Guan stared at the man, "I'm just trying."

  Exposed, the man didn't get angry, he suddenly burst out laughing, "You're very clever, but from the moment you arrived here, your fate was sealed. Do you know who I am? I am..."

  Ye Guan directly thrust his sword in!

  Hmph!

  The man's head was instantly pierced, and fresh blood gushed out along the sword!

  Ye Guanping calmly said: "Who are you? I don't want to know!"

  As he spoke, he suddenly took back the man's nascent ring and looked at the three sisters, "Withdraw!"

  After finishing speaking, the four of them turned around and ran!

  Ye Guan was also speechless at this time, and I still have the interest to know who you are?

  The man fell straight down, his face full of incredulity.

  Can you let me finish what I'm saying?
