“Greetings, Deputy Sect Master.” Even though the five of them were unwilling, in front of the strong, they could only obey.
The vice sect master of the Dark Night Ghost Sect raised his head and revealed a handsome but pale face. His eerie gaze swept across the faces of Eliza and the others. He smiled and said, “Just you guys are here?”
Eliza’s heart skipped a beat.
Ge Meng lowered his eyes and was about to explain when he heard One-Eyed Wolf say with a quivering voice, “The other mercenary groups might have been delayed on the way. Why don’t we wait a little longer, sir?”
“Wait?” The vice sect master sneered and said, “What right do you guys have to make me wait?!” As he spoke, that person released a domineering and gloomy spiritual energy aura. The mercenaries standing around him couldn’t withstand the suppression of this energy and knelt down.
Even Ge Meng, who was an intermediate-stage Scholar, knelt down weakly.
Yu Huang and the others had to keep up the act, so they knelt down one after another.
“I said that I want to see everyone here at eight o’clock. If anyone is late…” A sinister smile suddenly appeared on the vice sect master’s pale face. The vice sect master suddenly took off the cloth bag hanging on his right wrist and opened it. In an instant, more than a hundred mercenaries screamed and fell out of the interspatial bag.
They piled up on the ground, then shouted as they got up and ran in all directions.
The vice sect master snorted. He only stomped the cane in his left hand. Immediately, a black spiritual energy chased after the escaping mercenaries with the cane as the center. The spiritual energy turned into sharp knives that accurately pierced into the backs of the mercenaries.
“Ah!”
The mercenaries let out shrill screams and immediately fell to the ground while struggling frantically.
More than a hundred mercenaries were severely injured in an instant and their mobility was restricted by the other party.
The vice sect master looked at the injured people on the ground in satisfaction and said, “Those who don’t keep their promises deserve to be punished!”
All the mercenaries were frightened when they saw the pained looks and heard the screams of the mercenaries on the ground. Their eyes widened in shock, and everyone’s faces were contorted in fear.
The people lying on the ground were all mercenaries who had worked with them before. They fell just like that, and the person who suppressed them only used one move!
This was the power of a Grand Master!
Eliza glanced at Yu Huang, who was kneeling in the middle of the female mercenaries. She noticed that Yu Huang was calmly staring at the injured people on the ground. Eliza felt a little more at ease. At the same time, she admired Yu Huang’s performance.
The vice sect master glanced at the mercenaries who were kneeling on the ground and trembling. He said expressionlessly, “I used money to buy your lives, so you have to make my money worth it. Whoever dares to escape and leak the news will only end up worse than them!”
After saying that, the vice sect master looked at Eliza and the others and asked, “Is everyone here?”
Eliza said with a trembling voice, “Sir, you bought a total of 50 lives from the Eliza Mercenary Group. All our people are here.”
Snow Wolf also lowered his head and said, “Sir, all 60 people of the Snow Wolf Mercenary Group have arrived.”
Ge Meng also lowered his eyes and said, “All 80 people of the Sharks Mercenary Group have arrived.”
“…”
After the commanders reported the number of people in the various mercenary groups, the vice sect master’s gaze landed on the mercenaries kneeling on the ground. Seeing him look over, Donor, Xiao Shu, and the others pretended to be afraid and knelt on the ground.
“Alright, lift these people up. Their bodies are still useful.” After confirming that there were no mistakes, the vice sect master held his cane and walked towards the collapsed stone wall.
He led the way while the other mercenaries carried the corpses of the hundred or so dead mercenaries. They followed behind him as they walked into the Abyssal Origin Forest.
With a powerful Grand Master leading the way, the low-level and intermediate-level demon beasts in the abyss didn’t dare to appear in front of them.
Therefore, although Yu Huang and the others heard the roars of the demon beasts along the way, they still passed through the outer circle of the forest safely. When it was dark, they arrived at the middle circle of the abyss.
When he walked to a lake surrounded by towering ancient trees, the vice sect master raised his head and took a deep sniff of the surrounding air. He smelled the increasingly powerful demonic power fluctuations in the air and sensed that the demon beasts in front of him were getting stronger and more numerous. Realizing that it would be dangerous to continue forward, he raised the cane in his hand and gestured for everyone to stop.
Seeing this, the mentally exhausted mercenaries stopped after walking for an entire day. They gently put down the injured mercenaries and tacitly moved closer to their companions.
It was late at night, and the roars of various demon beasts could be heard in the forest. The demon beasts that could live in the middle circle had to be at least level-six demon beasts, and the highest was even level-eight and level-nine demon beasts. Hearing the roars of the demon beasts, the mercenaries looked even more terrified.
“Alright, it’s here.” The vice sect master turned around and stared at the nervous mercenaries.
The vice sect master saw the fear of death in their eyes, but he revealed an expression of enjoyment. He twirled the cane in his hand and asked casually, “Then, who should we start with?” The subordinate standing behind the vice sect master suddenly took out a dagger and looked at Eliza and the others expressionlessly.
Eliza and the others felt their hair stand on end.
They weren’t afraid of death, but just because they weren’t afraid of death didn’t mean that they wanted to die.
