“Not the Spirit Fire Pavilion?”
“Could it be some Martial King? Impossible, even a Martial King might not be able to do this, right?”
“Wait, who is that young man? He looks unfamiliar. That Spiritual Energy fluctuation? He’s an Alchemy Master. Could it be him?”
Suddenly, a sharp-eyed mercenary noticed Qin Yichen beside Lao Xiong. When he sensed the faint Spiritual Energy fluctuations from Qin Yichen, he exclaimed in surprise.
Instantly, the gazes of dozens of Spirit Realm experts turned toward him. After Lao Xiong nodded in confirmation, waves of astonished looks swept over Qin Yichen.
“Stop shouting, Grandmaster Qin said my Father needs rest!” Finally, Che Mingxin called out with displeasure. It was only then did everyone slowly walk into the compound, freeing Qin Yichen from their penetrating gazes.
Afterward, Qin Yichen was arranged a nice room.
Inside the room, many Ice Attribute items were placed around, lowering the temperature and making it impossible to feel the heat from the outside.
After entering the Storm Mercenary Group’s base, Qin Yichen took a brief tour and had the mercenaries help him collect some materials.
The mercenaries naturally did not refuse the saviour who had rescued their Deputy Group Leader.
Qin Yichen soon returned to his room and focused fully on refining Triple Clearance Pills and Flame Repellent Pills until he rested at midnight.
Because Qin Yichen knew that after today’s events, many people would come asking questions early tomorrow. At that time, to exchange for Flame Orbs, he feared the Triple Clearance Pills and Flame Repellent Pills in his possession might far from sufficient.
As expected, that night, Flame City far from peaceful. The earth-shattering piece of news spread among the Major Forces.
In the courtyard of the Dancing Flames Mercenary Group’s base, a burly man stood straight in the yard. An extremely powerful aura emanated from his body. Even standing still, he was like a spear ready to pierce Heaven.
Most striking was his red hair that represented his identity. This person was the Group Leader of the Dancing Flames Mercenary Group… Huo Yingjun!
At this time, behind Huo Yingjun, a Dancing Flames Mercenary Group member was informing him of something.
“Are you certain the Burning Poison in Che Liangzheng’s body was all expelled?” After listening, Huo Yingjun turned around and asked.
“Group Leader, I was there. I saw it with my own eyes! But…” The mercenary paused, and when the former’s brows furrowed, he quickly added, “But, Grandmaster Lu of the Spirit Fire Pavilion said this might just be a show put on by the Storm Mercenary Group. After all, until now, no one has had the ability to remove Burning Poison.”
“A show? You too think it’s a show?” Huo Yingjun chuckled, then suddenly coldly snorted, “Absurd! After being long time rivals with the Storm Mercenary Group for so many years, don’t you understand them? You think they will be so low as to put up a play!? Hmph! A show? That’s just what the incompetent Spirit Fire Pavilion wishes it to be! Come with me to the Storm Mercenary Group tomorrow! I want to see if this young man you speak of truly has such a miraculous ability!”
…
What happened at the Dancing Flames Mercenary Group simultaneously occurring at the Blueless Mercenary Group and various other large and small Forces. The leaders of these Forces, without exception, all chose to go to the Storm Mercenary Group tomorrow to investigate the truth.
If this was just a publicity stunt by the Storm Mercenary Group, then it would amount to nothing. But if someone could really expel the Burning Poison from a Flame Demon Commander, then this matter would be earth-shattering.
After all, very few people had attempted to kill a Flame Demon Commander. One of the main reasons being their atrocious Burning Poison, which even Martial Kings were unwilling to risk exposure to.
If there was a way to neutralize a Flame Demon Commander’s Burning Poison, then Martial Kings would surely risk trying to slay one.
Just as dawn was breaking, outside the Storm Mercenary Group’s base, numerous figures were flickering about. Among these figures were even one or two Martial Kings!
If Qin Yichen had not told the Storm Mercenary Group’s mercenaries about this beforehand, they might have thought someone was coming to cause trouble.
“Lao Xiong, bring that Grandmaster out to see us!”
“That’s right, if he really can expel Burning Poison, you Storm Mercenary Group can’t monopolize him!”
“Could they have really just put on a show?”
These mercenaries waited outside the Storm Mercenary Group’s base for over an hour, and gradually some people began to grow impatient. Thus, shouts arose from the crowd.
As for these shouts, the Storm Mercenary Group’s mercenaries chose to completely ignore them. They knew very well that their Deputy Group Leader had truly been afflicted by Burning Poison from a Flame Demon Commander and had been genuinely cured. As for those shouting outside, they could wait if they pleased, leave if they were unhappy.
Seeing the Storm Mercenary Group members’ attitude, many outside became even more dissatisfied. However, until now, not a single person had left. Instead, more and more people were gathering.
Finally, until the sun was high in the sky, that room in the Storm Mercenary Group that had remained closed finally opened with a *creak*.
A young figure slowly walked out of that room.
“Group Leader, it’s that young man!”
Upon seeing Qin Yichen, those who had seen him before quietly told their respective Leaders.
Immediately, all gazes turned to Qin Yichen.
“Damn, I thought he’d have three heads and six arms to make us wait so long!”
“How is it just a kid who hasn’t even grown facial hair? How can he possibly expel Burning Poison?”
Seeing it was just a teenage youth, many frowned, and some hot-tempered mercenaries, who had waited for so long and were full of anger, began cursing.
Hearing these curses, Qin Yichen just smiled and did not bother arguing. His gaze swept over the crowd outside, discovering several powerful auras that made his eyes narrow. [Four Martial Kings. Maybe more… Flame City really has a ton of Hidden Dragons and Crouching Tigers. Guess this is not surprising though. After all, although the Extreme Flame Zone is dangerous, it comes with even greater opportunities.]
“May I ask what business you all have with me?” Qin Yichen asked, feigning ignorance.
These who traversed the Extreme Flame Zone all had Burning Poison in their bodies to varying degrees. They had seen too many people suffering from Burning Poison. This has continued on for thousands of years, so as soon as they heard someone could clear Burning Poison, they had to immediately come.
“I hear you can clear a Flame Demon Commander’s Burning Poison?” The Dancing Flames Mercenary Group Leader, Huo Yingjun, stepped forward and directly asked, getting straight to the point.
His urgency showed that the Burning Poison in his body had reached its limit. From the fact that he had not entered the Extreme Flame Zone for several months, it was clear that his internal condition was horrendous.
