"But..." The strong man said with some concern.
"What's the big deal? Hmph, are we, the Leopard Adventure Team, afraid of a little kid who still smells like milk? What can he possibly do? Bring him to me directly, I want this woman!" Chen Yong said with a frown, looking somewhat displeased as the burly man was still hesitating.
If this little guy can't even be taken care of, then what's the point! If that's really the case, then the Cheetah Adventure Team might as well disband.
As one of the great adventure teams in Tsangyue Kingdom, the Leopard Adventure Team has twenty members! Among them are seven 8th-stage True Warriors, eight 9th-stage True Warriors, two 1st-stage Spirit Warriors, one 2nd-stage Spirit Warrior, and one 3rd-stage Spirit Warrior! As the leader of the Leopard Adventure Team, Chen Xiong is also a 5th-stage Spirit Warrior! Throughout the entire Tsangyue Kingdom, being a 5th-stage Spirit Warrior is considered to be quite skilled.
Such a combination, let alone dealing with the young man Wang Chen, would be more than enough to deal with some adventurer teams! In Chen Yong's view, what good hand could the 16- or 17-year-old Wang Chen be? Adventurers of this age, at most, would have the strength of high-ranking True Martial Arts, and that would be very impressive! Could their Snow Leopard Adventure Team not handle it?
"Wang Chen? Hmph, since this 10,000 gold coins has been delivered to our doorstep, we have no reason to give up!" A hint of cold smile appeared at the corner of his mouth as Chen Yong muttered to himself.
Just today, the Leopard Adventure Team, who had just returned to Ulan Town after completing a new adventure quest, received a task from several men in black. They were asked to help find a young man on this side of Ulan Town and cooperate with them to capture him when necessary, with a reward of 10,000 gold coins! This is a rare big deal. As soon as they received the task in the afternoon, the entire Ulan Town was under the surveillance of the Leopard Adventure Team.
In Wulan Town and several nearby small towns, the Leopard Hunting Team was a top-notch presence! Under such circumstances, Wang Chen's whereabouts were naturally quickly detected.
After that, Wang Chen was under their surveillance all the time. Until night, when Wang Chen entered the bar, the information came back, and Chen Yong had nothing to do but brought two people to the bar to take a look at this guy who could bring them an income of 10,000 gold coins.
10,000 gold coins, what a staggering amount! It's even a rare good deal! Paying such a high price for this little guy makes Chen Yong sneer, did those black-clothed men get their heads kicked by a donkey? 10,000 gold coins is enough to hire an assassin organization to take out a Martial Honorable.
"Alright, you don't need to say any more. I'll take care of Father's side!" Chen Yong said, waving his hand to stop the big man from continuing to speak.
With such a small guy, what else is there to worry about! With two top adventurers by his side at the moment! One 9th-tier True Martial Artist and one 1st-tier Spiritual Martial Artist, plus himself as an 8th-tier True Martial Artist, can't three people take care of Wang Chen? It's simply a joke.
He then shifted his gaze to Xia Xue in front of him, a sly smile spreading across his face. He hadn't expected such a gain! Wang Chen actually had such a beautiful woman by his side; since that was the case, he didn't mind taking her in as well.
Upon hearing Chen Yong's words, the two burly men exchanged a glance and finally revealed a hint of bitter smile as they followed Wang Chen forward.
Behind Da Han, looking at Wang Chen who was about to disappear from view, Chen Yong hesitated for a moment before quickly following up.
At this moment, Wang Chen and Xia Xue naturally did not know what had happened.
Looking at Xia Xue beside him, Wang Chen was worried and unhappy. When would this guy stop sticking to him? At the same time, he couldn't help but think of Liu Xiangyan. I wonder if she's doing well back in Qingzhou? Thinking about it, he couldn't help but sigh. Unconsciously, half a year had passed since they parted ways. When could they meet again?
But soon, a sense of danger from behind interrupted Wang Chen's thoughts.
Feeling the presence of two auras following them from over thirty meters behind, Wang Chen's eyebrows furrowed slightly. With his current condensed Yuan Shen, his spiritual awareness had reached a range of over forty meters in all directions.
These two auras were felt just moments after they left the bar, and Wang Chen hadn't paid much attention to them before. After all, although it was already deep into the night, the small town was still bustling with activity, and many adventurers were still enjoying their nightlife.
However, as they continued to move forward, Wang Chen discovered that two auras had been following them at a certain distance, which made him feel uneasy.
Could it be someone from the Luo family? Wang Chen's eyebrows furrowed, thinking to himself. It seemed that now he had grudges with only the Luo family and the organization of that black-clothed person.
After all, it was only natural for them to chase after they had exposed their tracks in the morning. Thinking of this, Wang Chen's true yuan force quietly circulated within his body, making all preparations!
He slightly tilted his head, glanced back and saw the two sturdy figures following behind, Wang Chen's eyebrows furrowed tightly, a hint of surprise and doubt flashing in his eyes.
It was those two adventurers who were with the young man I met at the bar before! How did they follow me here? It seems like I didn't have any grudges against them.
"What's wrong?" Xia Xue asked in puzzlement, sensing the change in Wang Chen beside her.
"Someone is following us, you go back to the hotel first!" Wang Chen said in a deep voice to Xia Xue after hearing her question.
Nowadays Xia Xue is just an eighth-rank True Martial Artist, staying here won't be of much help either.
"Is someone following us? Who is it?" Upon hearing Wang Chen's words, Xia Xue furrowed her brow and subconsciously turned around to look behind.
Wang Chen hastily pulled her back and held her in his arms: "Don't look!"
"Is he your enemy?" After being held by Wang Chen, Xia Xue struggled slightly and then calmed down, asking Wang Chen.
"It's unclear, you go back to the hotel first, I'll handle this side!" Wang Chen said in a low voice.
"But... no way, I'll go with you!" Upon hearing Wang Chen's words, Xia Xue felt a bit anxious.
"You can't help with anything!" Wang Chen frowned and directly refused.
"But I... whereas you..."
"Don't worry, nothing will happen. If I were to leave, there aren't many people in this town who could stop me!" Wang Chen comforted Xia Xue, knowing she was worried.
This sentence is actually true. Nowadays, Wang Chen's strength as a first-level spiritual warrior is already very good. With the speed of Ghost Steps, even mid-level spiritual warriors would find it difficult to block his path, unless they were high-level spiritual warriors, perhaps there might still be a possibility.
Once Wang Chen activates the Eight Gates Escaping Technique, his speed can even surpass that of an ordinary high-ranking Spiritual Warrior. No one below the rank of a Honorable Warrior would be able to withstand him. Even when facing a Ninth-Stage Spiritual Warrior, Wang Chen still has a chance to escape.
In such a small town, how can there be several martial artists?
Even if you look at the entire northern border, a good hand like Zun Wu is considered top-notch. In a small town like this, having one or two is already very good. Of course, even if there are, Wang Chen and these people have no grudges against him, they don't need to oppose Wang Chen, the only concern is that black-clothed middle-aged man.
Fortunately, the black-clad middle-aged man did not appear nearby. In that case, Wang Chen had nothing to worry about.
"Alright, I'll head back first, you come back quickly!" Looking at Wang Chen's changing expression and hearing his words, Xia Xue hesitated for a moment before speaking softly, with some loss.
An eighth-rank Zhen Wu practitioner like her was nothing in a place like this. Her strength was still too small. This made her suddenly feel that she was useless.
As soon as he finished speaking, Xia Xue left Wang Chen and walked forward, while Wang Chen slowed down a bit and kept a distance from Xia Xue.
"Deputy Captain, that little girl has left first. Has Wang Chen discovered us?" A big man in the back asked Chen Yong as he saw Wang Chen and Xia Xue separate from the front.
"Separated?" Looking at Xia Xue walking away in the distance, Chen Yong's eyebrows also furrowed tightly. A hint of hesitation appeared in his eyes: "First get rid of Wang Chen, and put this little girl aside for now!"
Soon, thinking of the temptation of 10,000 gold coins, Chen Yong made a decisive decision.
Wang Chen, this is actually their main purpose for this trip, as for that girl, she can only be considered an unexpected gain.
Now that the girl has left first, the target of choice is naturally Wang Chen.
Settle with Wang Chen, and the 10,000 gold coins are as good as mine! As for that girl, can she still grow wings and fly? Besides, with 10,000 gold coins, Chen Yong will have no problem finding a better woman.
Until Xia Xue walked far away, Wang Chen discovered that the three people behind him were still following himself, and he let out a sigh of relief, with a cold smile at the corner of his mouth, turning to walk towards the remote area of this small town.
Ten minutes later, Wang Chen arrived at a secluded alley on the edge of the town and stood inside with his back to the front, staring coldly ahead.
In less than half a minute, the silhouettes of three people appeared in Wang Chen's line of sight.
"You've finally arrived?" Wang Chen sneered, looking at the three of them.
"Wang Chen... Hmph, didn't expect him to be so vigilant and actually discover us!" As for Wang Chen's discovery, Chen Yong didn't feel anything out of the ordinary, after all their tailing wasn't subtle in the least! The moment Xia Xue left, they realized this.
"Who are you?" Hearing the other party call out his own name directly, Wang Chen's eyes turned cold and he asked in a low voice.
At the same time, I felt that something was off about this matter. Could it be true that these people were really members of the Luo family? Otherwise, how would they know my name?
"Hmm, you're worth 10,000 gold coins! How could the Leopard Adventure Team miss out on this? If you don't want to suffer, it's still not too late to surrender now. Otherwise, once we take action..." As he said this, a reckless smile spread across Chen Yong's face.
"Ten thousand gold coins? Is it the Luo family that hired you?" Chen Yong's answer made Wang Chen realize something, and he narrowed his eyes slightly to ask.
