Chapter 2478: Chapter 2468 Ten Thousand Beasts Sect
Long Yan looked at Zhang Si, whose face was ashen, and just gave a cold smile. Long Yan initially only uttered those words out of displeasure at Zhang Si’s comnts and hadn’t really intended to demand Zhang Si’s arm. He only wanted to discipline him, but Long Yan hadn’t expected Zhang Si to continually play dirty tricks.
First it was Dan Qinghu, and now Zhang Si was brazenly using hidden weapons to launch a surprise attack on him. If Long Yan hadn’t had a breakthrough in his Martial Path at a crucial mont, he would have failed already. Indeed, even with Dan Qinghu, Long Yan knew it was Zhang Si behind it. A normal Earth-level assessnt wouldn’t be so difficult; every move of Dan Qinghu was executed with full force, without holding back.
Initially, Long Yan was puzzled since he hadn’t offended Dan Qinghu when he first arrived. After thinking it over, it could only be Zhang Si’s mischief.
“You have done this ti and again, and it’s really infuriating .”
As Long Yan slowly spoke, Zhang Si’s body trembled violently, as if facing a judgnt, too scared to raise his head to look into Long Yan’s eyes.
“So, in accordance with the bet, leave behind an arm and your tongue and roll away.”
After saying this, Long Yan didn’t look back and followed the receptionist. Just now he had handed in his Human-level rcenary Badge, and the rcenary Guild asked him to wait a while as they altered his badge.
Only Zhang Si was left standing in the sa place, almost scared to tears. If he had a bit of luck earlier, now he was completely desperate. Not only would he lose an arm and his tongue, but he had also disrupted the rcenary Guild’s rules, and the guild would surely not let him off easily.
Zhang Si was truly frightened now, afraid that his fate would be grim. Seeing Long Yan’s departing figure, he wanted to plead for rcy, but just as he took a step, two burly n ca up on either side and held him in place.
“The Vice Chairman requests your presence!”
With just these simple words, the ashen-faced Zhang Si was forcibly taken away by the two burly n. Everyone could roughly imagine his fate.
The rcenary Guild is always strict with rcenaries who dare to break their rules. As for those who faced severe punishnt?
The best outco for one is rely resting at ho. The rest might have long been thrown into the Demon Beast Mountain Range as feed for the demon beasts.
Long Yan looked at the luxuriously decorated room in front of him. The chairs inside were made of soft fabric, and such style of furniture was rare in the rcenary Guild. The room’s owner must be an influential figure within the guild.
However, Long Yan felt at ease. The comfortable chairs and quiet environnt allowed him to relax. As for Zhang Si’s matter, Long Yan didn’t need to worry; the rcenary Guild would naturally deal with him.
“So, how do you find this old man’s study?”
A cheerful voice ca from the doorway, prompting Long Yan to open his eyes.
“Senior, this study is indeed a tranquil place.”
Long Yan curved his lips into a smile, offering a bland complint. He gave off a sense of promising youth, while the person standing at the doorway was the elderly man who had previously observed Long Yan secretly.
“However, there is one thing I don’t quite understand, and I hope Senior can enlighten .”
“Oh?”
The elderly man walked slowly to a chair opposite Long Yan and sat down, curious to hear what Long Yan had to ask.
“I just want to know what benefits this town has that makes normally high and mighty people converge here.”
Long Yan’s golden eyes gazed at the elderly man in front of him. Although he wasn’t knowledgeable about such luxurious furnishings, he could sense that the room was akin to stacks of gold. However, that was exactly the problem: rcenary Town was rely a poor town, with its entire economic source stemming from the nearby Demon Beast Mountain Range.
Why would such luxury exist here? Even in Qin Chu or the Qi Dynasty, it would count as top-tier luxury, let alone in this small town. Naturally, this was out of place, so Long Yan made a bold guess: this elderly man must be an influential figure from outside the rcenary Guild.
Additionally, the respect shown by the person who brought him here for this elderly man only deepened Long Yan’s suspicion.
“Hahaha, it seems these furnishings have exposed this old man.”
The elderly man laughed heartily, feeling a nostalgic resonance while conversing with the young man before him. The youngster’s casual remarks amused him greatly.
“Truly, youth is full of promise. I’ve summoned you here today for no other reason than to discuss a business deal.”
Long Yan’s face remained unchanged in response to the elderly man’s words. There must be a reason for calling him here; if it was just to recruit him, they could have sent soone directly. But since the elderly man ntioned a business deal, he probably realized that Long Yan wasn’t there to make ends et as a rcenary.
“If that’s the case, then I see no reason to hide. I rely wish to beco the King of rcenaries in this small town.”
Long Yan’s words were extrely bold. From the shadows, many people clenched their fists, wanting to beat up this kid upon hearing him dismiss the title of King of rcenaries so casually.
“Indeed, that’s a bit beneath you. But becoming the King of rcenaries isn’t as easy as you think. The waters in this small town run deeper than you can imagine.
“Oh?”
Long Yan raised an eyebrow, confirming his suspicions. The rcenary Guild counted as one faction, while the Mayor and the forces behind the monstrous Zhao Wuhun counted as another. Indeed, the rcenary town seed deceptively deep.
“The forces aligned with the Mayor are called the Ten Thousand Beasts Sect. This is a powerful First-Class Sect native to the area, using the rcenary town’s proximity to the Demon Beast Mountain Range to study transplanting demon beast flesh onto humans.”
As if understanding what Long Yan was pondering, the elderly man’s face regained its calm, but his words carried a hint of anger. Such experints are indeed against natural order, and although the rcenary Guild generally doesn’t ddle, they can’t stand idly by in such cases.
The elderly man volunteered to oversee this border town, and while the rcenary Guild knew the town thoroughly, it’s difficult to suppress local powers. Adding the Ten Thousand Beasts Sect to the mix makes the rcenary Guild sowhat powerless, rely driving the experints underground without tackling the roots of the issue.
“This is rather challenging.”
Long Yan wasn’t familiar with the Ten Thousand Beasts Sect, only having clashed with its disciple Thunder Leopard in the past. However, a sect capable of producing a cunning figure like Thunder Leopard likely wasn’t reputable. If this matter were exposed, the Ten Thousand Beasts Sect might be directly classified as an Evil Cult.
But without evidence, how can they prove the Ten Thousand Beasts Sect has already fallen into the ranks of an Evil Cult?
