Chapter 543: 543

You and Mo Nian are you? Long Chen felt it was a bit inconceivable .

Where did your thoughts stray? Its not like that at all . Mu Xue was a bit resentful . Our Muxue Mercenary Unit was very weak when we were first established . We were always suppressed by the other powers .

During that time, our unit almost completely collapsed . However, those people still didnt let up, forcing us to the brink of despair .

It was Mo Gate who couldnt bear to see that happen and warned our enemies that in the next three years, they were not allowed to do anything to us . Without Mo Gate, wed have been destroyed before ever maturing .

So we owe Mo Gate a great debt . It was Mo Gate who made the request to the Mercenary Guild, causing them to create this mission for the Hidden Ground Spiders core . Furthermore, it is extremely urgent .

Ive heard its something theyre preparing for their junior gate master, Mo Nian . Mo Gate has treated us with kindness, but Mo Gate is too large, and we dont even have the qualifications to return the favor . This is our only chance to repay them, so no matter what, we have to obtain the Hidden Ground Spiders core .

Long Chen understood now . These people were all open and candid . They didnt like owing favors, but it was impossible for them to repay Mo Gates favor . That was a constant knot in their hearts .

So even though this Hidden Ground Spider was extremely powerful, and this mission was extremely dangerous, their honor did not allow them to turn back .

That made Long Chen feel a kind of respect for them . Within the cultivation world, where schemes and inner strife were everywhere, where it was either you deceive me or I deceive you, such people had already almost gone extinct .

In truth, you should have given this information to Mo Gate, and Mo Gate would have sent several Xiantian experts to fight with you . Wouldnt that be much easier? Why must you risk this danger? asked Long Chen .

There are two reasons we came to attack it on our own . The first is that we noticed the Hidden Ground Spider a year ago, but the Hidden Ground Spider often switches territories, so no one can be sure whether or not it will still be there .

The second is that Mo Gate has now offended the Pill Tower, and the Pill Tower has stopped selling medicinal pills to them . Furthermore, it seems there are people targeting Mo Nian from behind the scenes .

Other than Mo Gate, Qing Prefecture has three powerful sects . They stood up to publicly challenge Mo Gate at the same time, beginning to fight with them over Qing Prefectures natural resources . Right now, Mo Gate is in an extremely disadvantageous position and is very busy . Otherwise, they wouldnt have asked the Mercenary Guild to set up this mission, sighed Mu Xue .

Long Chen narrowed his eyes . Was the Pill Tower trying to show their prestige? After being cut by the Huayun Sect, they raised their own blade against Mo Gate, cutting them off from medicinal pills .

Furthermore, now those other sects were fighting against Mo Gate . That would sever Mo Gate not only from the medicinal pills, but from all their other resources . They really were vicious .

As for the three large sects Mu Xue mentioned, Long Chen did have some impression of them . Back in the Jiuli secret realm, Mo Nian had been entangled by three powerful experts . It seemed they were very familiar with each other, and they should have each come from their own powerful sect .

But in the end, two of those experts had been cut down, while the last ones situation was something he wasnt aware of because the battle had been too chaotic .

He really hadnt expected the three huge sects to challenge Mo Gate now . It was without a doubt that there was a powerful backer behind them . And the power supporting them was very likely the Pill Tower .

Recently, the Pill Tower had lost all their prestige because of the Huayun Sect . Now, it seemed they were planning on using Mo Gate to retrieve that prestige and warn the other sects of their power .

Definitely looking to die, said Long Chen lightly .

Whether or not were looking to die, we still have to pay back our favor, especially now that Mo Gate is in such an urgent state . We can only do this much . Mu Xue bitterly smiled .

Im not talking about you . Long Chen shook his head . Although my own combat strength is the weakest of everyone here, I know a great deal about Magical Beasts habits and characters . I can probably help you a bit .

Really? Mu Xue was a bit startled .

Yes . I often have to deal with brutes and animals, so Im very familiar with them . This time, I was chased down miserably by a group of brutes, so dont worry, this is my specialty, laughed Long Chen .

Senior apprentice-sister, weve set up the tents and food . One of the women ran over .

Good, then we should eat . Long Chen, I dont want to wrong you, so how about you change into our clothes too? Otherwise, itll feel odd, said Mu Xue .

Long Chen was currently wearing blue robes, while they were all wearing black training clothes . He truly did stand out .

Other than that, he was also covered in dust and blood . However, although he had all kinds of various things in his spatial ring, he didnt have an extra set of robes for himself .

Then Ill have to thank you .

Long Chen naturally wouldnt refuse . This woman took out a new set of clothes for him .

Your face is a bit dirty . Let sister help you clean up a bit . Ill also tidy up your hair . The woman suddenly brazenly pulled Long Chen over to the lakeside .

Hey this is a bit inappropriate . Long Chen really hadnt expected this woman to be so direct .

You two hurry up . Dont make us wait too long, called out Mu Xue .

An incense sticks worth of time later, Long Chen was wearing their black clothes, and his face had also been cleaned up . When he entered the tent, everyone was startled, as they no longer even recognized him .

Oh, how handsome!

The other woman in the squad couldnt help letting out a startled cry .

Long Chens sword-like eyebrows framed his starry eyes, and a special aura came from his body that possessed an extremely fatal attraction to women .

More importantly, the other men here all had bulky builds, which made his regular build even more eye-catching .

As soon as he entered, everyones gazes landed on him . The other womans arm was wrapped around his, and her immensely pleased expression made him feel very unnatural .

Sit . Mu Xue quickly recovered and pointed to a seat .

About that, I see there are a lot more wine over there . I think Ill sit with those brothers instead . That way itll be more convenient for me to drink . Otherwise, I really would feel a bit unwilling . Long Chen smiled .

His words caused those two women to be a bit disappointed, but Mu Xue nodded with approval . Long Chen clearly wasnt a thoughtless person .

Haha, brother Long Chen, quick, come over! Come, lets properly drink . Long Chens actions also won him the good opinion of quite a few others .

Long Chen wasnt afraid of anything, but he did feel that as a person, it was best not to be so ostentatious . Furthermore, he had no romantic feelings for these three, so there was no need to provoke anyone .

Haha, thank you, thank you . Long Chen cupped his fists and sat down next to that person .

There was a large, circular table in the middle of over twenty people . The table was filled with wine and meat . It was very rich, and just seeing it made Long Chens stomach rumble . To tell the truth, he hadnt eaten anything in the past few days, so seeing all this laid out before him made him stealthily gulp down his saliva .

I have a good announcement to make . Brother Long Chen has temporarily joined our Muxue Mercenary Unit to help us handle the Hidden Ground Spider, announced Mu Xue .

Haha, welcome, welcome . Dont worry brother Long, when the time to handle the Hidden Ground Spider comes, stand by my side and Ill protect you . Zhang Wu patted Long Chen on the shoulder grandly .

Long Chen didnt know whether to laugh or cry . Zhang Wus cultivation base was only at the mid Meridian Opening realm . Just what did he plan on using to protect him? It was unknown just who would be protecting who .

This place is a safe zone . We dont need any guards tonight . Just eat and drink as much as you want .

After rushing for nearly a month, Im sure youre all a bit tired . So just relax today so that youll be in your peak condition for tomorrow . Then well take down that Hidden Ground Spider . Come, cheers! Mu Xue raised her glass .

The current Mu Xue was truly grand and heroic . She was not lacking compared to any man and was truly worthy of being their squads leader .

Everyone cheered and gulped down three cups in one go . Only then did they begin eating and drinking . Long Chen was truly hungry, and he followed along with everyone else, holding a chicken leg in one hand and a chunk of meat in the other, crazily devouring them both .

Long Chen, come, let me offer you a cup!

Another one!

Long Chens mouth was full of food, but no matter who came to offer him a cup, he would down his cup . This was extremely refreshing, and after a few dozen cups, everyone began to become a bit noisy .

This wine was no ordinary wine, but wine made for cultivators . It was extremely potent; thus, they were starting to get drunk .

What Long Chen hadnt expected was that these fellows were actually conspiring against him to get him drunk . He laughed and drank over and over again, never refusing anyone . In less than two hours, the only ones who were still capable of sitting were just Mu Xue and the other two women . The others had already collapsed, their snoring shaking the tent .

Long Chen knew these fellows hadnt circulated their qi to resist the alcohol . They were borrowing the wine to make themselves completely relaxed .

After continuous days of weary travel, they were about to face a Xiantian Magical Beast tomorrow . To say they werent nervous would be a lie . That was a battle in which the slightest mistake could cost them their lives .

After drinking and eating to his full, Long Chen sat cross-legged, continuing to insert his Blood Qi into his new meridians .

Mu Xue and the other two women were meditating to preserve their strength . Although this place was a safe zone, there were no absolutes . It was always best to not be careless .

After expanding his meridians to their limit, he began to circulate his two stars to urge on the primal chaos space . Although the growth was slow because there were too many trees, this investment would definitely lead to a bountiful harvest in the future . He couldnt waste his time .

When the sun finally spilled its light over them, the Muxue Mercenary Unit all stood up completely refreshed .

The drinking yesterday had completely calmed their nerves, and then their sleep had been incredibly refreshing . Their mental state had reached a peak .

After the tents were put away, Mu Xue led them towards the west . After four hours, they arrived at a mountain range .

Then after several dozen miles, Mu Xue raised her hand, causing everyone to immediately stop . Everyone held their breaths, because they saw a mountain-like figure ahead of them that emitted an aura that chilled them to the bone .
