Chapter 29
Xiao Xuan and Xiao Xun'er stayed at the inn for an entire night.
Soon, the night passed, and before long, it was the next morning. After leaving the inn, the two of them walked along the streets of Green Mountain Town.
Xiao Xun'er looked at the bustling stalls throughout Green Mountain Town, her eyes full of curiosity.
"Brother Xiao Xuan, there are even more things for sale here than in Wutan City's Marketplace."
Xiao Xuan said nothing.
As the two walked, a burst of commotion suddenly came from ahead.
A woman in white was surrounded by several mercenaries. They all wore matching uniforms, with a wolf head emblem embroidered on their chests.
The Wolf Head Mercenary Group.
The woman in white had delicate features and a gentle temperament, her long hair draped over her shoulders.
"Move aside."
The lead mercenary let out a lewd chuckle.
"Xiao Yi Xian, our young leader has taken a liking to you. That's your good fortune. Come with us to the Wolf Head Mercenary Group, and the young leader won't treat you badly."
Xiao Yi Xian's expression grew even uglier.
"I already said it. I'm not going."
The mercenary's smile faded somewhat.
"Not going? Then don't blame us for being rude."
He gave a signal, and several mercenaries immediately closed in.
Xiao Xun'er frowned at the sight.
"Brother Xiao Xuan."
Xiao Xuan had already walked over.
He came up behind the mercenaries and said flatly,
"Get lost."
The mercenaries turned around. Seeing a fifteen- or sixteen-year-old youth standing behind them, they immediately laughed.
"Where did this brat come from? You dare meddle in the Wolf Head Mercenary Group's business?"
Xiao Xuan looked at him calmly.
"I'll say it one more time. Get lost."
The mercenary's expression darkened.
"Kid, do you know who we are? Ever heard of the Wolf Head Mercenary Group? You dare stop us when our young leader wants someone?"
His gaze fell upon Xiao Xun'er behind Xiao Xuan, and his eyes immediately lit up.
"Oh, this one's not bad either."
He sized Xiao Xun'er up and down, his eyes filled with greed.
"Take this one back too. The young leader will definitely like her."
The mercenaries exchanged glances and laughed together.
Xiao Xun'er's face turned cold.
Xiao Xuan raised his right hand and struck with his palm.
The mercenary who had spoken flew backward, crashing heavily to the ground. He spat out a mouthful of blood, closed his eyes, and stopped moving.
The remaining mercenaries froze.
"You dare kill someone from the Wolf Head Mercenary Group!"
Xiao Xuan ignored him and struck out with another palm.
All the mercenaries flew backward. They landed on the ground and did not move.
Every one of them was dead.
Xiao Yi Xian stood where she was, utterly stunned by the sight.
The mercenaries on the street all retreated at once. No one dared approach.
Xiao Xuan lowered his hand.
Xiao Yi Xian came back to her senses and walked over to him.
"Thank you for saving me."
Xiao Xuan glanced at her.
"No need."
Xiao Xun'er walked over to Xiao Yi Xian's side.
"Are you all right, Sister?"
Xiao Yi Xian shook her head.
"I'm fine. Thank you."
"Why were those people trying to capture you?"
Xiao Yi Xian gave a bitter smile.
"Mu Li, the young leader of the Wolf Head Mercenary Group, saw me in town a few days ago. He's been sending people to harass me ever since. Today, they even tried to take me back by force."
Xiao Xun'er frowned.
"The Wolf Head Mercenary Group is far too overbearing."
Xiao Yi Xian sighed.
"Green Mountain Town is close to the Magic Beast Mountain Range, far from imperial reach. The Wolf Head Mercenary Group has been acting tyrannically here for so long that no one dares provoke them. You killed their people just now, so Mu Li won't let this go. You should leave quickly."
Xiao Xun'er turned to look at Xiao Xuan.
Xiao Xuan's face showed no expression.
The Wolf Head Mercenary Group.
Inside the main hall, Mu Li sat in a chair with a cup of wine in his hand.
He was the young leader of the Wolf Head Mercenary Group and Mu She's son.
In Green Mountain Town, no woman he had set his sights on had ever dared reject him.
Only Xiao Yi Xian had refused to come, no matter how many times he sent people to invite her.
Mu Li slammed his wine cup heavily onto the table.
"You don't know what's good for you."
Just then, a mercenary rushed inside.
"Young Leader, something terrible has happened!"
Mu Li frowned.
"What are you panicking about?"
The mercenary dropped to his knees with a thud.
"Young Leader, all the brothers we sent to capture Xiao Yi Xian have been killed."
Mu Li shot to his feet.
"What did you say?"
"They were all killed. Not a single one survived."
Mu Li's face instantly turned livid.
"Who did it?"
A glint of killing intent flashed through Mu Li's eyes.
"Anyone who dares kill my men, Mu Li, must be tired of living."
At the inn.
Xiao Xuan sat in a chair while Xiao Xun'er and Xiao Yi Xian sat nearby.
Xiao Yi Xian looked at Xiao Xuan, her eyes full of curiosity.
This youth looked no older than fifteen or sixteen, yet the aura he displayed when he acted was nothing like what a youth should possess.
He had killed several Dou Zhe-level mercenaries with a single palm strike.
Just what level was his strength?
A burst of commotion suddenly came from outside the door.
"Xiao Xuan, right? Get the hell out here!"
Mu Li's voice came from outside.
Xiao Yi Xian's expression changed.
"It's Mu Li. He brought people with him."
Xiao Xuan rose to his feet and walked out of the room.
Xiao Xun'er and Xiao Yi Xian followed behind him.
Outside the inn, Mu Li stood at the entrance with dozens of mercenaries, blocking the way.
When he saw Xiao Xuan emerge, Mu Li swept his gaze over him.
"So you're the one who killed my men."
Xiao Xuan looked at him without speaking.
Mu Li's gaze fell on Xiao Xun'er behind Xiao Xuan, and his eyes lit up.
He licked his lips.
"Kid, hand over the girl behind you, and I'll leave you an intact corpse."
Xiao Xuan looked at him calmly.
"Finished?"
Mu Li paused in surprise.
"Then get on your way."
Mu Li's face darkened.
"Get him! Kill this brat!"
The mercenaries behind him immediately charged forward.
Xiao Xuan did not move.
Only when the leading mercenary was about to touch him did he raise his hand.
He struck out with his palm.
Bang.
The mercenary's body flew backward and slammed onto the ground. He spat out blood and died on the spot.
The other mercenaries froze for a moment, exchanged glances, and charged again.
Xiao Xuan raised his hand once more.
The charging mercenaries flew backward one after another. They fell to the ground, all motionless.
In the blink of an eye, half of the dozens of mercenaries had fallen.
The remaining mercenaries went pale and no longer dared charge forward.
Mu Li's expression changed as well.
"You..."
Xiao Xuan walked toward him.
Mu Li instinctively stepped back.
"Xiao Xuan, stop right there."
Xiao Xuan walked up to him.
He threw a punch, striking Mu Li squarely in the chest.
Xiao Xuan followed with a kick.
Mu Li rolled several times across the ground before crashing into a wall and finally stopping.
He struggled to his feet and looked at Xiao Xuan, his eyes filled with terror.
Xiao Xuan raised his right hand and struck with his palm.
The force of the palm hit Mu Li in the chest.
Mu Li flew backward and fell to the ground, great mouthfuls of blood pouring from his mouth.
He stared wide-eyed at Xiao Xuan.
"Spare... spare me..."
Xiao Xuan looked at him calmly.
Another palm strike.
Mu Li's chest caved in. His eyes closed, and he never moved again.
Mu Li, the young leader of the Wolf Head Mercenary Group, died on the spot.
The remaining mercenaries turned and fled at the sight.
Xiao Yi Xian stood at the doorway, staring at Mu Li's corpse in utter shock.
Mu Li was the young leader of the Wolf Head Mercenary Group. He had tyrannized Green Mountain Town for so many years, yet he had died just like that?
She suddenly thought of something, and her face changed slightly.
