Chapter 3537 Dangerous Mission
Since the auction ended in Lone Peak City, various rumors have begun to circulate.
Some people said that Ye Liuyun had been killed by Demon Slayer, some said that Ye Liuyun had been robbed, and some said that Ye Liuyun had killed everyone because only Ouyang He went back among those who followed him.
But after Ouyang He went back, he only said that he had a draw with Ye Liuyun, and he didn't know anything else.
After Ding Yuantang's death, the Ding family has been sending people around to inquire about the situation these days. They also sent people to bribe Cheng Huofeng and other mercenary commanders to confirm that Ye Liuyun was indeed back, and that it was indeed Ye Liuyun who killed Ding Yuantang. But that was all information revealed by Ye Liuyun under instructions from Cheng Huofeng and others.
Ye Liuyun didn't want to trouble the Ding family. Ding Yuantang has almost exhausted all the family's resources in order to purchase the God Transformation Fruit, and he will not gain much if he goes there again. So he just wanted to scare the Ding family through Cheng Huofeng and others and make them be more honest.
The Ding family was not very strong to begin with, but now that they knew the truth, they did not dare to take revenge on him. They were even worried that Ye Liuyun would take revenge on them, so they immediately gathered some resources and sent them to Ye Liuyun to sue for peace.
Ye Liuyun asked Cheng Huofeng and other mercenaries to take it in for him, and also promised not to cause trouble to the Ding family, which made the Ding family feel relieved. If he doesn't take away their resources, he is still worried about these people's random thoughts.
Now that other martial arts cultivators in the city saw Ye Liuyun out and about, they all speculated that Ye Liuyun had killed everyone else.
They arrived at the mission release point. The mercenaries there saw that Ye Liuyun and others were safe and sound, and some began to inquire.
But under the control of Ye Liuyun Nuyin, Cheng Huofeng and other mercenaries were very strict. They only said that they had a fight with the Ding family and Ouyang He and it was a tie. They didn't know where the other people were.
Even Ding Yuantang's death was not admitted to be their fault, leaving the mercenaries to make random guesses. Although many mercenaries did not believe it, they were helpless.
So in the end, no one knew what happened outside the city that day. Some people speculated that it was Ye Liuyun who did it, and some speculated that it was someone else who was robbed by Mo Tu, but these were just guesses.
Ye Liuyun and others focused on checking the mission. They also look down on ordinary tasks. But a new task attracted Ye Liuyun's attention.
This task was issued by the City Lord's Mansion. The mission was to kill a seven-level Taixu flower python in Gufeng Mountain. The bounty was very high, it was actually thirty sources of power.
Moreover, it is an open task. Anyone can complete the task and receive the bounty based on the body of the flower python.
When Ye Liuyun saw this mission, his first reaction was whether the City Lord's Mansion could get such a large bounty. He was at the auction, but he didn't see that the city lord Gan Lin was so rich.
When Cheng Huofeng and Chen Qinan saw Ye Liuyun looking at this task in deep thought, they immediately reminded Ye Liuyun: "Master, this task may be a deliberate attempt by the City Lord's Mansion to trick people!
There is more than one ferocious beast on Gufeng Mountain. From the foot of the mountain to the mountainside, the ferocious beasts have reached the sixth level. After crossing the mountainside, the level of the ferocious beast was even higher.
Many mercenary teams have been there before, but none of them could get past the mountainside. So this mission is obviously something the City Lord's Mansion wants to use to trick people. "
After Ye Liuyun heard what they said, he remembered Gan Lin's evil smile at the auction, and suddenly realized in his heart.
However, he still asked Xiang Cheng Huofeng: "How can the City Lord's Mansion be sure that the flower python we killed must be from this Gufeng Mountain?"
Chen Qinan also told Ye Liuyun: "The flower python on Gufeng Mountain has a special pattern, which is easy to recognize. And people often see that kind of flower python, which is said to be the guardian beast of that mountain.
However, there are no such flower pythons on the mountainside, only on the top of the mountain. Someone had seen it from a distance on the mountainside before. But at that time, the flower python was already at the seventh level, and its body was very huge.
Pythons are social animals. Even if we find a low-level python to kill, we may be retaliated by a high-level python. "
After Ye Liuyun heard what he said, he became even more certain that this was a trap deliberately set by the city lord Gan Lin.
"What if we can complete the task, but the city lord can't come up with resources?" Ye Liuyun immediately asked the two of them.
"The mission is public. If the city lord cannot get the bounty by then, then we can kill the city lord and get the compensation ourselves, taking the city lord's place, and we will not be wanted in the future. But it is unlikely that this mission will be completed. !”
"Yes, Master, this is obviously a trap! Even if we feed it to the flower python, we may not be enough to fill its belly."
The two of them felt that it was too dangerous there. Even if Ye Liuyun had masters at the sixth or seventh level, he would not be able to match those pythons.
Ye Liuyun thought for a while and said to them with a smile: "It doesn't matter, we will take on this mission. It just so happens that I haven't been to Gufeng Mountain yet, so I will take this opportunity to have a look. If the danger is too great, we will withdraw immediately!"
Cheng Huofeng and Chen Qinan were also very helpless and could only hope that Ye Liuyun would not let them become cannon fodder.
The reason why Ye Liuyun chose this task was, on the one hand, he was considering taking the opportunity to get rid of the city lord to prevent him from making plans for himself in the future.
On the other hand, he also considered that no one in Gufeng Mountain climbed above the mountainside all year round, so there might be some good things on it. Just because there are many ferocious beasts there, it means there are abundant resources there.
Although he doesn't know what's on the mountain now, where there are ferocious beasts, there must be cultivation resources. Lei Ming and other monsters all know this. Otherwise, the ferocious beast is not stupid, why would it stay there all the time.
He also set off directly with these people and did not return to his residence. The surrounding mercenary groups were dumbfounded. From their point of view, this mission is obviously to let them die.
"Did they really go?"
"Whatever, maybe they really have that strength! Just wait and see the results!"
"If they really complete the mission, the city lord will not be able to get the reward..."
"That's not something we can consider, and they have to be able to come back! There are even ninth-level ferocious beasts on Gufeng Mountain!"
After they left, the mercenaries discussed together for a long time and did not disperse. The news spread quickly and once again the whole city became aware of it.
After the city lord Gan Lin received the news, he sneered repeatedly: "If you want to fight me, you will look good! Even if you don't die, you won't be able to come back, huh..."
After Gan Lin sneered for a while, he took out the transmission talisman and asked someone to contact Du Hansong, the commander of Pingyang Pass.
Du Pinghai, captured by Ye Liuyun, contacted Gan Lin after arriving in Gufeng City. When the auction ended, Gan Lin also saw Du Pinghai leaving with Ye Liuyun.
Now that he has not come back, there is a high probability that something happened, either he was killed by Ye Liuyun, or he was caught by Ye Liuyun, so he immediately asked Du Hansong to take credit, and he could also let Du Hansong deal with Ye Liuyun.
