Witnessing this scene, Zhang Dafa rembered the words Feng San had cautioned him with two days before his departure. If sothing happens, do not engage in prolonged combat, make sure to preserve your life.
At that ti, he hadn’t taken Feng San’s words too seriously, since they were in Qinghe City with Soldier Inn in charge, and Underworld Market couldn’t cause too much of a stir.
Unexpectedly, Soldier Inn was bought off.
"I don’t know what we did wrong that you have to capture my brother and ."
Zhang Dafa waved his hand, signaling Zhang Erfa not to get agitated and asked with feigned concern.
Soldier Inn obviously ca prepared today with dozens of people; even combined, he and Zhang Erfa might not stand a chance against them. They had to catch the enemy off-guard and think of a way to escape.
"How dare you ask? Do you know about the Heavenly Stone incident? A few days ago, Underworld Market was transporting Heavenly Stone to Wei Mountain, and several rcenaries from Phoenix Chamber of Comrce were responsible for escorting it. During the escort, they stole a significant amount of Heavenly Iron. Miss Changsun Rou from Underworld Market has already reported this matter to the Yueshan Inn Master, who has ordered us to capture you for questioning."
The rcenary said impatiently.
What an act by Changsun Rou, she must have heavily bribed Yueshan.
As soon as Zhang Dafa heard this, he knew what was going on – the disappearance of Underworld Market’s Heavenly Iron was being pinned on them.
How could Phoenix Chamber of Comrce steal Heavenly Iron from Underworld Market? He knew about the escort of Heavenly Stone because Feng Luochen and the three had helped transport it, but those three rookie youths, how could they possibly steal soone’s Heavenly Iron?
This was clearly Underworld Market having lost their Heavenly Iron and deliberately framing them.
"Gentlen, we are being wrongfully accused. Moreover, the three related rcenaries are currently participating in the Competition Among Ten Countries. If you gentlen wish to clarify the details, better wait for their return."
The rcenary scoffed.
"You still dare to make excuses; I think you just want to stall for ti to escape. I’ve already inquired; you are the big boss and the second boss of the Phoenix Chamber of Comrce, capturing you will suffice."
Scores of rcenaries surged forward, and Zhang Dafa knew he couldn’t avoid it today. He gathered his breath and with a fierce palm strike emitted a strong Gang Qi from his palm, forcing those rcenaries to retreat.
But before they could surround him again, Zhang Erfa had already drawn a Heavenly Weapon,
The Heavenly Weapon was extrely sharp. Zhang Dafa and Zhong Erze brothers each held a Heavenly Weapon; leveraging their advantage, they swiftly fled from the Phoenix Chamber of Comrce.
"Run fast, these guys are full of murderous intent. If we fall into their hands, we will undoubtedly die."
Having escaped the Phoenix Chamber of Comrce, Zhang Dafa and Zhang Erfa saw more rcenaries chasing them on the streets.
Underworld Market intended to kill them today. The brothers couldn’t be careless; they were seasoned rcenaries with excellent coordination. Also, due to following Feng Bailing, he would intermittently give them so Spiritual Spring and Monkey Wine. Plus, before this trip, Feng Bailing had given them a pair of Heavenly Weapons for self-defense.
The brothers repeatedly dodged the rcenaries’ attacks, but there were too many rcenaries dispatched by Soldier Inn, and the brothers were nearing the city gate.
But the gate was tightly closed, with no further escape route.
"Erfa, I’ll handle this, you get going."
Zhang Dafa said gravely.
"Big brother, I won’t go."
Zhang Erfa was unwilling to leave Zhang Dafa alone.
"Go find Feng San, she will definitely find a way to save ."
Zhang Dafa said, swinging his palm out, breaking through the city wall ahead, then lifting Zhang Erfa and throwing him out.
At the city gate, rcenaries hurriedly sward in upon hearing the news.
With no other choice, Zhang Dafa turned his head and headed back into the city.
With tears in his eyes, Zhang Erfa fled from Qinghe City.
Forced to return to Qinghe City, Zhang Dafa, alone, was quickly overwheld by Elder Liu and a host of rcenaries from Soldier Inn, suffering multiple injuries.
He staggered to the edge of a ditch, the water inside dark as ink, impossible to gauge its depth.
"Zhang Dafa, you have nowhere to run."
Elder Liu had removed the bandages from his face. Originally unattractive, his face was now covered with lumps from Hong Xuan’s poison; although the poison had been cured, the lumps made him resemble a toad.
Elder Liu looked at the wounded and trapped Zhang Dafa, and let out a dry laugh.
"Boss Zhang, I advise you to surrender peacefully. Just co back to Underworld Market with us, clarify the whereabouts of dical Buddha and the source of that dicine liquid, and we at Underworld Market promise not to mistreat you."
Zhang Dafa spat.
"Keep dreaming. I will never betray Phoenix Chamber of Comrce."
"Why do this to yourself? I know you are not the real boss of Phoenix Chamber of Comrce, you are rely a runabout. Join us at Underworld Market, our young master won’t mistreat you, and will offer you more money than Phoenix Chamber of Comrce ever did. And about your family, your younger brother, we will take good care of him. Both you brothers joining Underworld Market can guarantee a prosperous future, much better than being with Phoenix Chamber of Comrce."
Elder Liu had thoroughly investigated the identities of the Zhang Brothers, who were previously insignificant rcenaries with poor strength and bad reputation, who joined Phoenix Chamber of Comrce after failing to make it in the rcenary world.
Sohow, they established a relationship with dical Buddha and together with Li Mubei, a person nad Feng San and Nanshe, and Ouyang Chenchen from Daye who contributed so money, they established Phoenix Chamber of Comrce.
Originally an insignificant entity, Underworld Market wouldn’t have taken notice of Phoenix Chamber of Comrce, but unexpectedly, Phoenix Chamber of Comrce thrived within a few months.
Changsun Rou believed that it was ultimately due to the dicine liquid developed by dical Buddha. Unfortunately, despite their efforts, they couldn’t find out dical Buddha’s origins or whereabouts.
"You’re wrong, Phoenix Chamber of Comrce has given not just money, what it offers, you simply can’t afford."
The acceptance and recognition were sothing the Zhang Brothers never experienced before.
"Dream on about betraying Phoenix Chamber of Comrce. I’d rather die than join Underworld Market."
With no escape, Zhang Dafa didn’t look back and leapt into the ditch.
A splash of water resonated, and Elder Liu cursed under his breath.
"This guy really is a stubborn one. What are you waiting for? Go down there and get him up."
The ditch was Qinghe City’s drainage channel, about two to three persons wide, its flow direction unknown. Despite Elder Liu’s orders, the surrounding rcenaries remained motionless.
