Yang Ye was not an expert of the First Heaven Realm, it was something that was beyond doubt. The reason he had suddenly become strong was because Baldy Qiang had walked towards him, and he had been secretly slapping a high-grade Strength Talisman on himself all along. Under the encouragement of his high-level Strength Talisman and his golden Profound Energy, his strength instantly increased by many times.
Moreover, Baldy Qiang and the others had underestimated him, and it allowed him to launch a surprise attack successfully. Otherwise, with his normal strength, Baldy Qiang should have been defeated, yet it was extremely impossible to directly annihilate Baldy Qiang!
Yang Ye casually swung his sword before staring at Xiu Yuan who had a ghastly pale face and was slightly trembling. Just when he intended to handle this trash, Xiu Yuan suddenly said, “Yang, Yang Ye. You can't kill me. My brother is a First Heaven Realm expert. If...if you kill me, then he will definitely not let you go. ”
An idiot! You still trying to threaten me at a time like this? Yang Ye cursed in his heart. With a swift attack, his sword left behind a series of shadows as he arrived before Xiu Yuan.
Xiu Yuan was stunned in his heart, and he raised the sword in his hand to block instinctively.
Clangs!
Xiu Yuan's sword broke in two before Yang Ye's sword pierced through his chest.
After he put down his sword, Yang ye turned around and looked towards the Snake Forest before he said in an indifferent tone, "Could it be that you intend to play the role of oriole?" [1]
When they heard Yang Ye, Man'zi and the others were greatly shocked. There are more people around here?
The three of them suppressed the shock in their hearts and walked to Yang Ye's side while their faces were covered with wary expressions.
“What an incredible Divine Sense!” After a moment of deadly silence, along with this voice, three figures suddenly jumped out from within the Snake Forest. These three figures were extremely fast, and they closed the distance of over 100m in a few moments to arrive 9m before Yang Ye.
It was two men and one woman. Men are handsome while women are beautiful, and all of them are around 17 or 18 years old. All of them were wearing white and plain robes, and a small silver-colored crescent moon was embroidered on their left chest.
Even though they were young, Yang Ye's expression was very serious. Because even though they had yet to reach the First Heaven Realm, their strength was definitely much stronger than Baldy Qiang whom he had just killed just a moment ago. The reason he made such a conclusion was because their speed was really too fast, and it was simply not something ordinary mercenaries could have.
"Brightmoon Sect!" As he looked at the silver crescent moon on their chests, Qing Hong exclaimed in shock. Clearly, he was warning Yang Ye.
When he heard Qing Hong, Yang Ye quickly recalled everything he knew about the Brightmoon Sect. Other than giants like the Great Qin Empire, there were six incredible powers in the southern region. These six extraordinary powers were separated into one school, two palaces, and three sects. The single school among them was the strongest among the six outstanding powers, the Origin School. The two palaces were respectively the Snow Palace and the Flower Palace. As for the three sects, it was the Ghost Sect, Brightmoon Sect, and Sword Sect.
Of course, this was simply the power that was on the surface. The southern region was huge, and there were countless hidden clans and small sects. However, Yang Ye knew nothing about those hidden powers.
When they heard Qing Hong, a man who looked slightly older among the three disciples of the Brightmoon Sect took a step forward, and he nodded to Yang Ye's group before he said, "I am the outer court disciple of the Brightmoon Sect, Ming Hao. The two by my side are Junior Brother Ming Xiu and Junior Sister Ming Yue. Previously, we had just left the Snake Forest when we saw you fighting with others, and for the sake of avoiding suspicion, the three of us did not show ourselves. However, I never expected that your Divine Sense would become so formidable, and you actually noticed the three of us. "
When they saw the disciples from this sect acting so courteously, Man'zi and the others were a little unaccustomed. After all, all the disciples of this sect were filled with arrogance when they met mercenaries in the past, and they looked at the mercenaries as if they were insignificant ants. Of course, the three of them knew that the disciples of this Brightmoon Sect were very polite because of Yang Ye.
The strong are respected in the southern region. Previously, Ming Hao and the others were greatly shocked as they watched Yang Ye fight from the shadows. This was not because they had never seen such a fast sword in the past, but a sword as fast as it that carried such a powerful force was rare. Especially since Yang Ye had noticed them, and this caused them to feel even more shocked.
When he saw them acting so courteously, Yang Ye did not give them a cold attitude. He nodded lightly and said, "I am Yang Ye, an independent cultivator, and these few people by my side are my friends."
When they heard Yang Ye, Ming Hao and the others were a little surprised. They originally thought Yang Ye was a disciple of the Sword Sect, but they never expected that Yang Ye was actually an independent cultivator. However, this was not important to them, and the most important thing was Yang Ye's strength.
"I wonder if Brother Yang is interested in training yourself with us?" Ming Hao smiled as he invited. No matter whether Yang Ye was an independent cultivator or a sect disciple, having such strength at such an age was enough for them to treat him as an equal.
Yang Ye hesitated for a moment, then shook his head lightly before saying, "Sorry, there's still some business I have to deal with."
Yang Ye had left the sect to put himself in a life and death battle, and he had a great secret. So, he really did not want to let others find out.
As soon as he finished speaking, their figures flashed and disappeared in the distance.
Yang Ye was really a little surprised by their attitude. As far as he was concerned, the sect disciple should be an arrogant, domineering, and haughty person. However, the three people from the Brightmoon Sect showed no signs of this at all, and they did not even show the slightest hint of arrogance. It felt a little unexpected to him.
Actually, it was because Yang Ye was too experienced. There were many arrogant and domineering disciples from the sect, yet they were mostly brainless. Those who were able to become sect disciples mostly had good natural talent and disposition. In addition, most of them are very intelligent, and they understand very well that rather than adding another enemy to the list, it is better to have another friend alone.
"Brother Yang, what should we do with them?" Meanwhile, Man'zi looked at the corpses around him and asked.
Yang Ye glanced at them before he said with a smile, "We should definitely collect their things first!"
Man'zi and the others immediately laughed hearing this.
After a few short quests, Yang Ye obtained some valuable items. They were each a small-scale spatial ring, a middle-class Yellow Ranked sword, two low-grade Yellow Ranked daggers, and over 10,000 gold coins. However, Yang Ye did not attach much importance to these things. Want to know how else, the requirements of him who was already a Level One Talisman Master had become higher due to this achievement.
As he looked at the spatial ring in his hand, Yang Ye was slightly disappointed. Because compared to the spatial ring it had, it was much lower, but better than nothing.
After she put on the spatial ring, Yang Ye glanced at the three Yellow Rank weapons inside before glancing at Man'zi and the others. He hesitated for a moment before his wrist flipped over, and three weapons appeared in his hand. He handed the weapons in his hands to Man'zi and the others before he said, "These weapons are useless to me, so all of you can have them!"
Man'zi was first stunned, and then he hurriedly shook his hand and said, “Brother Who has saved our lives more than once, and those three people were killed by you. We don't contribute at all, so how can we take it away from you? ”
Qing Hong said from the side as well, “Save those things. Although we are really tempted, we have our own principles, and if we take them from you, then we will humble ourselves. "
Yang Ye smiled and said, “I didn't give it to all of you for free. I heard you all say last night that apart from hunting and killing Darkbeasts, mercenaries can also be hired, right? ”
He was most worried about his little sister and mother right now. Although Elder Qian had warned the Liu Clan, Elder Qian could not be in Southpeace City the entire time. If the Liu Clan were to play a trick to deal with his little sister and mother, then they would definitely be in danger. So, he intended to hire these three before him to protect his little sister and mother in Southpeace City, and he had been thinking about this since last night.
Man'zi nodded and said, “In addition to hunting and killing Darkbeast, we also received some work related to being bodyguards or helping others to transport goods. Brother Yang, you mean, you intend to hire us? "
Yang Ye glanced at Xiu Yuan's corpse on the ground and said, “Xiu Yuan has been killed by me. However, if all of you return to Green Hornet City, then his elder brother will definitely not let go of all of you. If you want, then I want you all to protect my little sister and mother in Southpeace City. As for the time period, we will make it half a year. What do you think?"
The three of them were moved when they heard this. As Yang Ye said, once Xiu Yuan died, they would definitely be in danger if they returned to Green Hornet City. Although the laws were extremely strict in the Great Qin Empire and big brother Xiu Yuan would probably not dare to take action against them while they were in Green Horney City, what about outside the city? Moreover, they were unable to continue hunting and killing Darkbeast now that there were only three of them.
When they thought up to here, Man'zi glanced at Qing Hong and Xiao Hei, and when he saw them nod, he immediately said, "Brother Yang, we are willing to accept your request!"
When he heard them agree, Yang Ye gave the three weapons in his hand to them, and then he pulled out 10,000 gold coins and gave them as well. When he saw Man'zi intending to reject the gold coins, he immediately said, "Not all of these gold coins are for the three of you. 5,000 gold coins is your compensation, and I want you to give another 5,000 to my sister and mother. "
Hearing that, Man'zi hesitated before nodding. Three Yellow Rank weapons were already worth no less than 40 or 50 thousand gold coins. Coupled with these 5,000 gold coins and their own savings, it was more than enough for them to gain a foothold in Southpeace City.
Yang Ye continued after Man'zi took the gold coins. “After you all go to Southpeace City, let Brother Qing Hong contact my sister and mother. Man'zi and Xiao Hei, the two of you should not show yourself, and that's enough if the two of you hide in the shadows. If the danger that the three of you are unable to solve arises, then write me a letter in the Sword Sect, and I will hurry as fast as I can! "
Man'zi said with a smile, "Don't worry, Brother Yang, we've done a lot of protection-related work. If the danger we cannot resist really arises, we still have some methods to deal with it. In short, as long as it is not an expert of the First Heaven Realm, we can definitely guarantee the safety of Brother Yang's family! "
"Good!" Yang Ye nodded, then he glanced at Qing Hong who was standing beside him.
When they saw Yang Ye glancing at Qing Hong, Man'zi and Xiao Hei acted very wisely and left first, whereas Qing Hong originally intended to follow them as well, instead, but he was stopped by Yang Ye.
