Chapter 554 Is this really my dad?
Black Corner Domain, Maple City.
Since Han Feng's death, there has been no owner here and it has fallen into chaos.
As the residence of Han Feng, the sixth-grade alchemist, the location here is naturally not bad. Adjacent to the vast mountains, you can immediately receive various medicinal materials, magic cores, and other materials with unique effects from the mountains.
Many Sanren cultivators will bring what they harvest in the mountains and forests to sell here, and merchants from all over the world will also gather here, bringing a variety of goods.
The prosperous trade has brought infinite vitality and vitality to the city. Even if it loses its owner, everything in the city is still running, but it is slightly chaotic.
Maple City's daily tax revenue is a large amount, enough to make the major forces in the Black Corner Region jealous.
After receiving the news of Han Feng's death, forces large and small immediately dispatched troops to the city. The big forces try to dominate the city, and the small forces also hope to gain a foothold in the city and get a piece of cake that matches their appetites.
The two young men hurriedly crossed the street and entered a small alley with complicated twists and turns at a corner.
One young man was wearing white clothes, with a scholarly elegance, and the other was wearing dark blue to almost black clothes, it was Xiao Ding and Xiao Li.
After they recovered from their injuries at Canaan College, they came to the Black Corner Territory to explore together.
After they heard about the situation in Maple City, they resolutely decided to join the whirlpool, with the mentality of success or failure, honing themselves in life and death.
The chaos in Maple City caused various forces to start recruiting troops to replenish their manpower. Some will also hire some mercenaries to outsource less important tasks to save their own strength.
Xiao Ding and Xiao Li relied on their previous experiences to regroup a group of people here and established a small mercenary group with only a dozen people.
They accepted the mission of a medium-sized force "Lion's Tooth Gate" to help guard the edge stronghold. As a result, this stronghold was attacked by hostile forces, and all the remaining members of the mercenary group were killed. Only two of them escaped.
At this moment, they are on the run.
What chased them was a great Dou Master and three Dou Masters. This was a powerful enemy that was difficult to resist for the two people who only had the strength of Dou Masters.
At this moment, the cry of killing rang out, and a group of people suddenly rushed out from one side and killed those who were chasing them.
There were three great fighting masters and five fighting masters in this group, and they were obviously well prepared...the leader they knew was a hall master of the medium-sized force "Lion Fang Sect" who hired them.
"Master Wu Hall? Damn it, they are using us as bait." Xiao Li reacted immediately, with a gloomy look on his face.
Although he didn't have much affection for the assembled companions, he was not trustworthy towards the forces in the Black Corner Region, and he was mentally prepared for intrigues, but he still felt very angry inside after being betrayed.
After Wu Hall Master solved the target, he looked at Xiao Ding and Xiao Li with cold eyes, and an ugly smile appeared on his face that was as dry as tree bark:
"Captain Xiao, you failed to complete our commission and lost your base."
Xiao Li couldn't restrain the anger in his heart and said in a deep voice: "Master Wu, you said before that this is just an unimportant place. Why did the 'Wild Wolf Gang' send such a powerful force to attack?"
"The stronghold is indeed not very important. Maybe it was the things inside that attracted them." Hall Master Wu smiled coldly.
He paused and continued: "In short, since you have collected our money, you have to do things well for me.
"Your negligence has caused us serious losses. Next, we will go to retake the stronghold... You also have to come together. If you perform well, I will not hold you accountable."
Are they using us as bait and then as cannon fodder? Xiao Ding's face was as dark as water and he said:
"I am willing to return the commission I collected before as an apology. We also have to be responsible for the compensation for the families of the fallen mercenaries, and we will not be involved in the next thing."
Hall Master Wu smiled coldly: "This is not a simple matter of returning the commission... There is a three-marked Qingling Pill in the stronghold from the hands of Master Yan Xiao... This is a fourth-grade pill that has a probability of improving the fighting spirit by one star. Pill.
"You failed to protect the stronghold and caused this loss! What do you think we should do?"
As he spoke, the people around him gathered around him, with a vague attitude of taking action if they didn't hear a satisfactory answer.
The owner of the Lion Tooth Sect did indeed buy the Three-Pattern Green Face Pill from an auction in Black Seal City a few months ago, but the pill had been used up long ago, and what was released was just false news.
He doesn't care whether he can fool his opponent or not. It's not a big problem if he can be the best or not. Anyway, the people guarding the stronghold are hired mercenaries.
Even if the opponent is more skilled and eats the bait and fails to respond in time, the loss will only be a team of mercenaries.
The leader of the Wild Wolf Gang might have been blinded by greed, or maybe he didn't care about the life and death of his men... He really sent people to attack this stronghold.
Lion Tooth Gate was well prepared. After Hall Master Wu realized that the force sent by the other party was within the range that he could handle, he made a prompt decision and launched an attack, surrounding and killing the people who were chasing Xiao Ding and Xiao Li.
Their Lion Tooth Gate also wants a reputation. Although it is not an uncommon operation to use the mercenaries they found as bait, it will have some impact.
Therefore, Hall Master Wu had no intention of letting Xiao Ding and Xiao Li leave alive. He just wanted to extract the last value from them... As long as all the hired mercenaries were wiped out, there would naturally be no news.
It might not be easy to escape now, so I can only agree first and see if there is a chance to escape in the chaos later... With this idea in mind, Xiao Ding's eyes flickered and he nodded, "Okay."
The smile on Wu Tangzhu's face became stronger, and then it quickly solidified. He, his men's bodies, and the space where their bodies existed suddenly twisted, like a vortex-shaped abstract painting.
They were forcibly kneaded into a bloody mess and fell to the ground.
Spatial strangulation! A method that can only be used by Dou Zun strongmen!
Xiao Ding and Xiao Li looked at this scene with horror, which was somewhat beyond their cognition, and couldn't help but step back a few steps.
A middle-aged man with slightly thick eyebrows walked out of the twisted space, looked at the two people with a bit of frosty face, and said in a gentle tone: "Ding'er, Li'er, you have suffered..."
"Dad... Dad?" Xiao Ding and Xiao Li looked at Xiao Zhan with their eyes wide open, with shock that could not be concealed in their expressions.
Was the scene just now caused by their father?
They looked at each other and saw the doubt and confusion in each other's eyes.
Isn't Dad an ordinary great fighting master?
"Why, are you unhappy to see your father?" Xiao Zhan had a smile on his face.
"Dad, is it really you?" Xiao Li's voice was a little suspicious and excited.
"It's me, absolutely." Xiao Zhan smiled and nodded. He glanced at the corpse on the ground and continued, "You must have a lot of doubts in your hearts. Come back to the family with me first. There are some things that I will tell you in detail after I go back."
A dark crack appeared behind Xiao Zhan. The elder came out with a look of astonishment, still wondering if he was dreaming. He said to Xiao Zhan: "Patriarch, I'm done here."
"Then go back." Xiao Zhan casually grabbed the void and built a space channel leading to the Xiao family's land in the Warcraft Mountain Range.
The eyes of Xiao Ding, Xiao Li, Xiao Yu, Xiao Ning, and Xiao Mei met in the air, and they all showed a bit of confusion.
Is the Xiao family in their cognition the real Xiao family? Is there a slight deviation?
In the boundless void, deep darkness enveloped everything, and in the darkness, silver lines and rich color blocks flashed from time to time.
Xiao Zhan was in the front, Xiao Ding, Xiao Yu and others were in the middle, and the last was the great elder of the Xiao family.
It didn't take too much time for them to cross the long distance from the Black Horn Region to the Magic Beast Mountain Range of the Gama Empire.
