In the next three days, what Gu Yunhe was worried about inevitably happened.
Although he strictly ordered the people in the City Lord's Mansion to go out as little as possible to reduce the chance of encountering danger, purchasing activities were still necessary due to daily needs.
However, in these short three days, the City Lord's Mansion lost at least a dozen innocent lives.
Gu Yunhe knew that the culprit of all this was the bloodthirsty mercenary group, but he was unable to take action against them due to the lack of conclusive evidence, which made him feel irritated and helpless.
Whenever he thought of those innocent lives lost, his heart was filled with anger and grief.
At this moment, the entire city lord's palace suddenly shook violently, as if the earth was shaking.
Immediately afterwards, a terrifying flame rose from the city lord's palace, straight into the sky, and actually condensed into a huge fire dragon in the air.
The fire dragon was so lifelike that it seemed to tear the sky apart, and its power was so powerful that it made people palpitate.
This scene lasted for more than ten breaths before gradually dissipating. However, the shock it left lingered for a long time.
Gu Yunhe was stunned by this sudden turn of events. He was filled with doubts and uneasiness: "What happened? Could it be that the bloodthirsty mercenary group finally attacked?"
At this moment, the housekeeper hurried over and said breathlessly: "City Lord, it seems that there has been a change in the place where the boy named Yu Hua practices..."
After hearing the butler's words, Gu Yunhe breathed a sigh of relief.
It turned out that it was not the bloodthirsty mercenary group that was attacking, but Yu Hua's practice that caused some kind of strange phenomenon. Although there were still many questions in his mind, at least there was no need to worry about the safety of the city lord's mansion for the time being.
After a while, Gu Qingyao led Ling Xiao into the main hall of the City Lord's Mansion.
The afterglow of the setting sun poured in through the windows, illuminating the hall in a golden color.
Gu Yunhe sat in the main seat, his brows furrowed and his face solemn, as if he was carrying a heavy burden. His eyes revealed deep worry, which was the fear and uneasiness of the coming storm.
Ling Xiao walked into the hall, his eyes were like torches, as if he could penetrate all illusions.
He glanced around the hall, finally landed on Gu Yunhe, and said calmly: "I already know about the bloodthirsty mercenary group. Leave this trouble to me."
As soon as he finished speaking, the butler on the side couldn't help but interjected: "You solve it? How do you solve it? The leader of the bloodthirsty mercenary group Zhang Pojun is a strong man at the peak of the divine transformation realm. Even our city lord is not fully qualified.
Defeat him with certainty.”
His tone was full of doubt and disdain, and he seemed to be very puzzled by Ling Xiao's confidence.
However, Ling Xiao was not swayed by the steward's words.
He smiled slightly, as if everything was under control. He said calmly: "Let the bloodthirsty mercenary group disappear from this world. This is my way to solve it."
Although his voice was not loud, it was full of determination and confidence. His eyes flashed with sharp light, as if he had seen the moment when the bloodthirsty mercenary group was destroyed.
Gu Qingyao looked at Ling Xiao's confident look, and the worries in her heart could not help but lighten a bit.
She knew that although the young man in front of her was young, he had extraordinary strength and courage. Maybe he could really solve this problem.
After all, she had seen Ling Xiao take action before in the Fire Cloud Mountain Range.
"Dad, just leave it to him, he will definitely do it."
Gu Qingyao smiled.
"Then I'll do it, little brother, but don't force it. If you're pushed too hard, I'll just kill the bloodthirsty mercenary group."
Gu Yunhe said.
"No need, those people are looking for death, I will give them a satisfactory answer."
Ling Xiao cupped his hands and turned to leave.
Looking at Ling Xiao's leaving figure, Gu Yunhe sighed. To be honest, he still didn't quite believe that Ling Xiao could destroy the bloodthirsty mercenary group, but seeing the excitement on his daughter Gu Qingyao's face, he also slightly
Looking forward to it.
…
In the busy city, the streets are bustling and noisy, with people coming and going in an endless stream. The sun shines through the clouds and onto the bluestone slabs, reflecting mottled light and shadow.
The air is filled with the aroma of various snacks, and the sounds of hawking, talking, laughing, and bargaining come and go, creating a lively picture of life.
Suddenly, a burst of rapid and heavy footsteps broke the harmony.
Several figures covered in blood rushed into the street in embarrassment. Their faces were pale, their eyes were frightened, their clothes were ragged, and their bodies were covered in blood, as if they had just escaped from a bloody battlefield.
The crowds on the street were frightened by this sudden turn of events and fled in all directions. The originally lively atmosphere instantly became tense, and there was a chilling atmosphere in the air.
Those people covered in blood stumbled around and knocked down pedestrians, but they didn't seem to care and just tried their best to escape in one direction.
Their breathing and footsteps intertwined with the surrounding noises, forming a thrilling symphony of escape.
Soon, they came to a majestic gate. Hanging on the door was a plaque with the five characters "Bloodthirsty Mercenary Group" engraved on it. The writing was sharp and imposing.
Looking at the heavy door, their faces finally showed smiles of relief.
"Finally... finally escaped here!" One of them gasped, his voice revealing endless exhaustion and joy.
"Yes, this is our home base, and that kid will definitely not dare to chase us here." Another person echoed, his eyes shining with pride and joy.
They seemed to have forgotten their physical fatigue and pain, and were just glad that they could escape the terrifying pursuit.
Suddenly, a figure flashed out of the darkness and appeared in front of them like a ghost.
Everyone took a closer look and saw that it was the handsome young man who had been chasing them - Ling Xiao.
His appearance was like a bomb that exploded in everyone's hearts, and panic and despair surged into their hearts again.
Ling Xiao stood there, the sun shining on his delicate face, but it failed to dispel the cold chill in his eyes. He smiled faintly, as if he was appreciating a tragedy that had been doomed for a long time.
"Do you think you will be safe if you escape here?" His voice was calm and cold, but it carried an irresistible majesty.
Everyone's hearts trembled, and a look of horror appeared on their faces. Only then did they realize that no matter where they fled, they could not escape the pursuit of this young man.
They wanted to open their mouths to call for help, but Ling Xiao's movements were faster.
Ling Xiao raised his hand and waved, his movements light and swift. A bright sword flashed across the air in an instant, striking everyone like lightning.
"Pfft!"
Blood flew out, dyeing the air red.
More than a dozen mercenaries from the bloodthirsty mercenary group fell in a pool of blood. Their eyes were full of fear and unwillingness, but they didn't even have time to shout for help.
This scene was too sudden, too bloody, and made people shudder.
