Seeking Death? I'll Send You to the Western Paradise!

The Amethyst Winged Lion King was, after all, a sixth-tier magical beast, equivalent to a human Dou Emperor. The terrifying pressure emanating from it made the mercenaries present, who were only at the Dou Practitioner level, tremble uncontrollably!

Fortunately, the Amethyst Winged Lion King merely glanced at them before lying down and closing its eyes to rest.

The young Amethyst Winged Lion King wobbled down from the sky, landing on the ground and looking around curiously.

It was a third-tier magical beast. With its fire-attributed physique, it was more than capable of contending with a human Grand Dou Master, so naturally it did not fear these weak humans.

Upon seeing the young Amethyst Winged Lion King, the surrounding mercenaries all retreated, afraid of catching its attention.

The little fellow seemed to find things boring, so it walked over to its father's side and lay down to rest.

Jia He descended as well. Mitchell hurried over to him and asked, "Your Highness, why is a sixth-tier magical beast here?"

Jia He smiled. "It's coming back to the imperial capital with us, so it left the Magical Beast Mountain Range with me!"

Mitchell looked at Jia He in astonishment. "Your Highness, this sixth-tier magical beast is really coming back to the imperial capital with us?"

Jia He nodded. "Of course. It's the Amethyst Winged Lion King, one of the stronger sixth-tier magical beasts. Its overall strength is no weaker than Yun Yun of the Misty Cloud Sect. Joining the imperial family will bring plenty of benefits!"

Mitchell looked at Jia He with admiration. "Your Highness is truly formidable. Oh, right—the medicinal ingredients you had them search for have all been found, and they were mostly refined right in front of us!"

Jia He nodded. "Good. I'll settle the payment for the medicinal ingredients collected by the mercenaries of Green Mountain Town first!"

Upon hearing this, Mitchell stepped aside.

Jia He walked up to the mercenaries and said, "Now, hand over your medicinal ingredients one by one. I'll pay you in gold!"

After casually finding a table, Ya Fei took out the gold coins while Little Fairy Doctor recorded the medicinal ingredients. The two divided the work and cooperated seamlessly.

Although most of the medicinal ingredients found by these mercenaries were first-tier, they made up for it in quantity.

After the weaker mercenaries handed over their ingredients, some lone mercenaries brought out second-tier ingredients, and two of them even produced third-tier ingredients.

It seemed there were indeed hidden experts among these mercenaries.

After settling all their medicinal ingredients, more than two hundred thousand gold coins had been spent. It was still fairly cheap, since there was no middleman taking a cut!

"The Blood Battle Mercenary Group is here!" a mercenary shouted when he spotted them.

The leader of Blood Battle soon walked over and said in a muffled voice, "These are the medicinal ingredients from our Blood Battle Mercenary Group!"

Most were second-tier medicinal ingredients, with a few third-tier ones. However, among them was a Seven-Star Lake Grass. It was highly poisonous and a fourth-tier medicinal ingredient!

"You actually managed to pick a Seven-Star Lake Grass?" Little Fairy Doctor looked at the Blood Battle leader in surprise.

The magical beast guarding the Seven-Star Lake Grass was a fourth-tier Seven-Star Spear Snake. It was also highly venomous, incredibly fast, and extremely difficult to deal with. Among the Blood Battle Mercenary Group, only their leader had reached the level of a two-star Dou Master!

The Blood Battle leader said somewhat sheepishly, "We were lucky. The Seven-Star Spear Snake seemed to be away, so we got to take advantage of the opportunity!"

This Seven-Star Lake Grass was worth nearly forty thousand gold coins. Though highly poisonous, it was the main ingredient for the fourth-grade healing pill, the Returning Heart Pill!

"A fourth-tier medicinal ingredient! I saw it—that Seven-Star Lake Grass is worth forty thousand gold coins. The Blood Battle Mercenary Group has struck it rich this time!"

"Yeah, why couldn't we have had such luck?"

"Forget it. What if you accidentally ran into a fourth-tier magical beast? You wouldn't even know how you died!"

While the crowd discussed it, two other mercenary groups arrived as well.

Mu She, leader of the Wolf Head Mercenary Group, along with deputy leader Gan Mu and young leader Mu Li, all arrived. After hearing the others' words, their gazes turned toward the Blood Battle Mercenary Group.

A trace of ruthlessness flashed through Mu She's cold eyes, as though he were plotting something.

Meanwhile, Gan Mu and Mu Li behind him both looked toward Little Fairy Doctor and Ya Fei, who were seated at the table.

Gan Mu stared at Ya Fei with a somewhat lecherous gaze. His look disgusted Ya Fei, and she swept a cold glance over him.

Mu Li, meanwhile, was looking at Little Fairy Doctor, though who knew what he was planning.

After receiving the gold coins, the Blood Battle leader left with his men.

The Wolf Head group moved closer. Jia He shifted slightly, blocking Gan Mu's gaze. A curve lifted at the corner of his lips as he asked, "What are you looking at?"

Although Jia He wore a smile, his eyes were icy enough to send chills down one's spine. Anyone familiar with him knew that Jia He was angry.

"What the hell does what I'm looking at have to do with you, you little bastard?" Gan Mu had already been displeased when his line of sight was blocked.

Hearing Jia He's words, he immediately cursed aloud.

Mu She, standing nearby, wanted to stop him, but it was already too late!

Boom!

Jia He lightly clenched his hand toward Gan Mu, and flames suddenly surged from Gan Mu's body.

The intense pain made Gan Mu scream, yet he could not break free no matter what he did!

"I don't like you. I'm taking your life," Jia He said without a trace of emotion.

Because Jia He had held back, Gan Mu was burned by the flames for more than ten minutes before finally dying.

Then Jia He waved his hand, and a streak of sword qi instantly whistled out, slashing open Mu Li's eyes.

"Ahhh!" Mu Li's vision went black as agonizing pain erupted from his eyes. Covering them, he dropped to his knees and wailed!

Mu She was both shocked and enraged. Looking at Jia He, he roared, "What is the meaning of this?"

"He looked at something he shouldn't have. I'm giving him a lesson. Otherwise, he would have ended up like that man just now," Jia He said indifferently.

The members of the Wolf Head Mercenary Group who witnessed this immediately felt a chill rise from the depths of their hearts toward the young man before them.

Then Jia He looked at Mu She and slowly said, "Get lost. I don't want your mercenary group's medicinal ingredients!"

"No!" Mu She's first reaction was to refuse.

He looked at Jia He, suppressing the rage in his heart as he slowly said, "Our mercenary group spent a whole month struggling through the Magical Beast Mountain Range to find these medicinal ingredients. You killed one of our deputy leaders, and my son has gone blind. Now you say you don't want them just because you don't?"

Jia He looked at Mu She, a mocking smile flashing across his lips. "I said I don't want them, so I don't want them. If you want to die, you can keep standing here!"

As he spoke, the terrifying aura of a Dou Emperor erupted from Jia He's body, directly suppressing Mu She and the others to their knees.

The Wolf Head Mercenary Group members all turned pale. At that moment, they wanted only to escape from this place.

"We don't want the gold coins anymore. Please let us leave!" one mercenary pleaded!

Jia He looked at Mu She with a cheerful smile. "See that? Your own people don't want them!"
