Chapter 1523: Riding on the Team

Then the short twin came out of the tent. He had lost one leg and was hopping as he walked, leaning on a cane.

The tall man hurried forward to support him.

Perhaps Ruan Yu's gaze was too obvious, the tall twins turned around suddenly and stared at Ruan Yu.

After seeing that the other person was just an unattractive woman dressed simply, he looked away.

What a strong insight!

Ruan Yu couldn't help but sigh inwardly. Fortunately, she had changed her appearance when she came out. Otherwise, she would have run into these two people and not been able to enter the Imperial City Ancient Realm. Instead, they would have started a fight outside.

"Brother, what should we do? Should we continue waiting here? We've already waited for so many days in vain!"

"I'm so annoyed. Are these people from Qingyang Sect dead? If they're not dead, can they come out earlier? Isn't our time enough?"

"Now that he's dead, it's our turn to go in!" The people in the team deliberately shouted loudly so that the guards at the entrance could hear it.

The guard didn't move, as if he hadn't heard.

Besides this team, there were also many independent cultivators nearby. Like Ruan Yu, they all wanted to use the team's momentum to enter the ancient realm of the Imperial City.

Of course, they will also pay certain remuneration and benefits.

"I'll go and tell him." The tall twin couldn't wait any longer. His brother's leg needed a magical medicine inside to heal.

After handing the shorter twins over to the rest of the group, he approached the guards alone.

"What are you doing? Back off!" The two guards who had just stood there like stone statues immediately drew their swords, pointed at the tall twins, and ordered them to step back.

"No one is allowed to approach until the people inside come out!"

"What if they never come out? Are we supposed to wait outside forever?!"

After the words fell, the two guards looked at each other and said, "Tomorrow morning at the latest, if they haven't come out yet, we'll let you in."

Apparently, the guards were tired of waiting.

Upon hearing that they were about to be released, several independent cultivators couldn't wait to run to the team and took out their valuables as if they were offering treasures: "Can you join the team for a while?"

"We promise that after we get in, you'll get to take any goodies first! We'll pick up the ones you don't want!"

The attitude of the casual cultivators is already very humble.

However, the people in the twins' team did not intend to treat them well.

"Get lost! How dare you bring out such trash and embarrass yourself like that?"

"With just the few of you, do you think you're worthy enough to join our team? You're not even as powerful as one of my little fingers! Hahahahahahahaha..."

"Get out of here right now, or you'll die without even knowing how!" the team members threatened.

A casual cultivator, unwilling to be humiliated, clenched his fists in anger and said, "If you don't agree, then don't agree. Why are you saying such hurtful things?"

"I'm scolding you. Don't you agree? Let's fight!" The team member who was scolding rolled up his sleeves, raised his fist, and glanced at the tall twins.

Ruan Yu noticed this detail and thought that this person didn't seem to be a bad person.

The tall twins were ruthless and unpredictable. He did this to protect the life of the wandering cultivator.

As the saying goes, whatever you fear will come.

The tall twins were now looking at the wandering cultivator with a deadly gaze.

The casual cultivators hadn't noticed him at first, because he was really hard to attract attention. He was tall and thin, and didn't look very capable.

Who would have thought that his eyes were as cruel and dark as a poisonous snake.

The casual cultivator only felt that his body was entangled by the giant python, unable to move and having difficulty breathing.

None of the team members dared to stand up. They knew the vice-captain's temper too well. If they dared to speak up for others, not only would they die, but they would die too!

Just when the casual cultivator was about to suffocate to death, Ruan Yu walked over.

"Hurry up!" Several team members saw her and mouthed words to her.

I want to persuade her to leave.

Ruan Yu ignored him and walked over to the tall twins: "I want to join your team."

"Do you want to die?" The tall twins withdrew their pressure on the wandering cultivators, sneered, and turned to face Ruan Yu.

He is very tall, condescending, and very oppressive.

Ruan Yu pretended to be frightened, but still mustered up the courage to say: "I, I don't want to die. I can prove my worth."

She flipped her hand, and the divine powers of fire and wood appeared in her palm.

"I'm an alchemist and can help you heal your injuries."

The murderous intent in the taller twin's eyes diminished. "There's a healer on the team."

"A healer can only treat common injuries. What if they encounter poison? Or some more serious injuries?"

"Okay, you can join, but if you can't show your value, I will take your life at any time!" The tall twins said in a threatening tone after weighing the pros and cons.

Then, he ignored Ruan Yu and helped the shorter twins into the largest tent.

The wandering cultivator who had escaped death cast a grateful look towards Ruan Yu.

He turned around and followed several other wandering cultivators, leaving reluctantly.

Only designated forces can enter the ancient imperial city. For independent cultivators like them, the only chance to get in is to blend into the group of these people.

If you can’t join this team, then join the next one.

"Are you crazy? We all advised you to leave just now, why did you still come here?" Several team members came over and hinted to Ruan Yu to go with them with their eyes. After they walked a little further away, they said in a very low voice.

"You saw it all. The deputy captain is a very dangerous person. That random cultivator just wanted to join the team, but he almost got killed. Sigh...! Staying here will only lead to death. Listen to me and leave quickly."

"If he is really as scary as you say, why don't you leave?" Ruan Yu knew that the two twins had been watching this place.

Even if you walk far away and deliberately lower your voice, you can't hide it from their ears.

"We...we are mercenaries."

"The current captain and deputy captain killed members of the original team, and many of our brothers also lost their lives."

Ruan Yu was surprised and asked, "Then you won't expose him?"

"It's useless." A mercenary shook his head, a look of helplessness on his face. "The guards only look for the token. Whoever comes here with the token will be the next group to enter the ancient imperial city."

So, these two twins killed people and stole treasures, and then forced these mercenaries to accompany them into the secret realm?

Okay, that’s bad enough, and it fits Ruan Yu’s impression very well.

"Before you go in, there's still a chance to escape. Go quickly. We'll cover you."

Ruan Yu: "Why don't you leave?"

The mercenaries had already prepared themselves for death: "We won't leave until our blood feud is avenged. Even if we run, where can we go? The difference in cultivation level is too great, and we can't escape. Besides, these two won't let us go, so we might as well find a chance and kill them!"
