After more than ten days, Lu Xiaoguan returned exhausted to the Qin Family Residence. After exchanging meaningful glances with Qin Yichen, indicating that it was done, Qin Yichen’s group finally began preparations to leave.
After all, while Soaring Joy Chamber Of Commerce was developing steadily, this time nearly all the Chamber’s high-ranking members had returned to the Heavenly Unicorn Dynasty, to attend Qin Yichen’s homecoming celebration. Although several Feng Family Elders helped oversee operations while they were away, they still needed to return.
After personally inspecting the Array, Qin Yichen expressed great satisfaction.
Lu Xiaoguan truly had not disappointed him. Somehow transporting numerous massive boulders without using a single Spirit Seed, he had managed to establish a natural Array across an expansive territory, concealing it from prying eyes.
Subsequently, after bidding farewell to his Family and others, under countless respectful gazes, Ye Liangchen and the Soaring Joy Chamber Of Commerce delegation once again mounted their Flying Demonic Beasts, heading towards Heavenly Dragon Imperial Dynasty.
However, Qin Yichen and Feng Qianxue didn’t accompany them. Instead, without attracting any attention, they quietly departed from the Qin Family Residence.
“Brother Yichen, I want to know everything you’ve experienced before meeting me…” Along the way, Feng Qianxue held Qin Yichen’s arm. Their appearance clearly identified them as a couple deeply in love.
However, they deliberately restrained their auras without the slightest leakage. Ordinary observers would merely perceive them as distinguished individuals, with no one recognising their true identities.
Qin Yichen maintained an attitude of doting affection towards Feng Qianxue. Immediately, he nodded in agreement.
After leaving Heavenly Unicorn Royal City, unconsciously, the two had reached the outskirts of Misty Forest.
Now, this forest, once considered an extremely challenging training ground, held not the slightest threat in Qin Yichen’s eyes. After all, he was no longer that youth who could merely match against a Martial Grandmaster.
Just as Qin Yichen prepared to enter with Feng Qianxue, several figures suddenly burst from behind, fleeing desperately into the forest.
“Run? Let’s see where you can escape! Today, not a single person from Dawn Mercenary Group will survive!”
As those figures had barely entered the forest, a loud shout erupted from behind. Immediately, five or six figures swiftly flashed past, intercepting those fleeing.
Surrounded in the centre were four figures: two men and two women. Both men appeared to be middle-aged, around forty-odd years, their faces bearing weathered expressions, clearly seasoned mercenaries who had survived countless battles. However, currently their auras seemed somewhat depleted, despair marking their features.
Behind them, two young women appeared extremely youthful. The older one seemingly no more than twenty-two or twenty-three, the younger one seemed merely eighteen or nineteen. They possessed slender figures and remarkably beautiful appearances. Yet now, those lovely faces appeared somewhat pale, their beautiful eyes reflecting panic.
“Xiao Ya, Xiao Xuan quickly flee! Old Zheng and I will hold them off!” One middle-aged man protecting the two women stared fixedly at his interceptors ahead, speaking in a heavy, low murmur.
“No, we won’t leave!”
However, upon hearing this, the two women behind not only refused to flee but even drew weapons from their waists.
“Quickly leave! Any later and we will no longer be able to leave!” The middle-aged man sternly roared.
“Stop your nonsense. Xiang Wu, worry about yourself first. Those two girls won’t die immediately. After our Group Leader finishes enjoying them, then it’s our Brothers turn to enjoy them. It is only after we have our fill that they will be allowed to leave with you!”
Opposite the middle-aged man, a figure emerged bearing an ugly scar across his forehead. He spoke with a savage grin, his pair of lecherous eyes continuously scanning the two women.
“Even if I die, I won’t let you beasts defile my Daughters!” Xiang Wu roared furiously, his blade pointing directly at the enemy. The aura of Peak Stage Martial Grandmaster erupted forth as his form shot forward like an arrow released from its string.
“Leave those two tender morsels alone for now. Kill the two men!” Watching Xiang Wu’s explosive approach, the middle-aged man coldly sneered, his tone freezing as he commanded.
*Swoosh! Swoosh!* Upon receiving orders, those surrounding figures immediately charged towards Xiang Wu and his companion, while that middle-aged man advanced towards the two women behind Xiang Wu. A lecherous expression emerged at the corner of his mouth.
Before Misty Forest, quite a few people were currently present. Qin Yichen and Feng Qianxue stood amongst the crowd.
Originally, Qin Yichen held absolutely no interest in such conflicts. However, he constantly felt those desperately fleeing figures seemed somewhat familiar.
“The Wild Tyrant Mercenary Group is getting too outrageous…”
“No choice. Their Group Leader’s curried favour with that massive Ye Family. Allegedly, even their Group Leader has broken through the Peak Stage Martial Grandmaster Realm, stepping into the Spirit Realm!”
“*Siii…* The Spirit Realm… Then the Dawn Mercenary Group is truly unlucky!”
Hushed whispers spread outside Misty Forest.
“Dawn Mercenary Group?” Upon hearing these words, Qin Yichen’s brow furrowed slightly.
*Pfft!* Just as Qin Yichen contemplated, within the forest, the two middle-aged men already bearing considerable injuries finally couldn’t withstand multiple attackers. Immediately, both were blasted backwards, coughing blood.
Seeing that leading Peak Stage Martial Grandmaster middle-aged man already approaching the two women, desperate anguish surged in both men’s eyes.
“Father!”
Witnessing Xiang Wu being blasted away, the two women finally couldn’t restrain their tearful cries.
Hearing this voice, Qin Yichen’s brow suddenly raised. He seemed to recall certain past events.
Outside Misty Forest, numerous mercenaries shook their heads with sighs. Even hearing those soft cries, no one willingly intervened, clearly fearing the Wild Tyrant Mercenary Group and the Force backing them.
“Little darlings, even if you scream until your throat breaks, no one will come. I suggest you conserve your strength. Save it for when you’re in bed later!”
The middle-aged man wore a thoroughly lecherous smile. Combined with that ugly scar across his forehead, he appeared extremely ferocious. Subsequently, his pair of lustful hands reached directly towards the two women.
Facing this Peak Stage Martial Grandmaster, two Martial Master women possessed no ability to resist whatsoever. Therefore, they could only helplessly watch as that perverted hand reached towards them, desperate misery surfacing in their beautiful eyes.
“Beast! Kill me first!”
Severely wounded Xiang Wu and the other veteran mercenary displayed grief-stricken despair, roaring hoarsely.
However, all this merely made that middle-aged man’s unrestrained laughter grow increasingly loud, having not the slightest effect.
