Chapter 92: Yao Ye's Shock

"Defeating a team of two thousand people whose highest strength is only Dou Shi is not difficult. As long as you reach the Dou Ling level, you can do it, but you can only defeat them. Wanting to kill them all is not very possible. Only by reaching the Dou Wang level, you can fly quickly, can you easily kill two thousand people, but you will definitely leave traces. Wanting to do it without leaving a trace, even a Dou Huang would be very reluctant to do it, so the subordinate guesses that the person's strength is at least at the Dou Zong level, or even higher." This guard, who was called Liang Ye by Yao Ye, thought for a while, then analyzed seriously.

"At least a Dou Zong powerhouse! Hehe, even Great-Grandfather hasn't reached Dou Zong! This is a bit troublesome. I just wanted to use some means to win over Nie Feng. But if his master has been by his side, it will be counterproductive." Yao Ye secretly smiled bitterly in her heart.

At this time, Yao Ye felt quite regretful in her heart. She didn't expect that the mysterious powerhouse had been by Xiao Yan's side all along. If he came to the Imperial Palace to settle accounts with them, who could resist?

"But a person with such strong strength, why still tease these weak mercenaries! Even if you want to kill, it's just a matter of a slap, why be so troublesome. This way of doing things is a bit inconsistent with his identity!" Liang Ye muttered in a low voice.

"What did you say?" Yao Ye turned around suddenly, her eyes widened as she looked at Liang Ye.

Liang Ye was startled by Yao Ye's reaction. He had never seen Yao Ye so excited, but he still replied: "I just have some doubts. This powerhouse's strength has reached at least the Dou Zong level, but his style of doing things is a bit weird. To be honest, if I were that Dou Zong powerhouse and knew that the three mercenary groups took action to deal with my disciple, I would directly settle accounts with the leaders of the three mercenary groups, instead of killing so many low-strength mercenaries. These mercenaries are scattered in every corner of the Magical Beast Mountain Range, and it is very troublesome to kill them."

"Using poison is also a possibility, but how powerful poison can a mere 3rd-grade alchemist refine? Even the poison that can be used on a large scale refined by those poison masters in the Chuyun Empire only makes our soldiers feel physically uncomfortable, which will reduce the combat effectiveness of our soldiers. This is also a trick commonly used by the Chuyun Empire on the battlefield. But I haven't heard of any poison that can be used on a large scale and has very terrifying lethality." Liang Ye nodded, but still couldn't believe that this was done by a fifteen or sixteen-year-old youth.

"That's not necessarily true!" Ling Yun said with a smile.

"Tell them, as long as they send a few squads as bait, they can secretly follow behind. As long as they find out how those people died, they can leave the Magical Beast Mountain Range directly. And don't let them think about escaping. I have already sent 50,000 iron cavalry distributed at every exit of the Magical Beast Mountain Range. They can't escape." Just when the man in black was about to turn and leave, Yao Ye added.

"At first, we all thought that the people in our mercenary group were done by the mysterious person behind Nie Feng, but the one in the Imperial Palace obviously discovered something and wanted us to test this Nie Feng to see if he had the ability to kill so many of us." Ling Yun said indifferently.

"What? Don't talk nonsense. A person who is only a Dou Zhe can kill more than two thousand of our mercenaries in a row? Are you crazy?" Hearing Ling Yun's words, the other three shook their heads repeatedly.

"How to say?" The leaders of the three major mercenary groups looked at Ling Yun in unison.

However, fortunately, they only need to find out the cause of death of the two thousand mercenaries sent out, and they don't need to take action themselves. They only need to send a few more squads and then secretly follow behind.

Hitting a stick and giving a sweet date is the usual trick of the Imperial Family.

"Whether it was you who did it, it will be known soon. I also really want to know how you used one night's effort to kill more than two thousand people. And I don't believe that when they find out you are only a Dou Zhe, they can really restrain the desire in their hearts and not take action against you! As long as they take action, my goal will be achieved." Yao Ye narrowed her eyes and muttered in a low voice.

"Yes!" The man in black replied respectfully.

"This... this can't be, right! His strength is only a Dou Zhe, how could he kill so many people? And there are dozens of Dou Shi powerhouses among these people. Even a Great Dou Master wouldn't be able to do it." Liang Ye heard Yao Ye's words and felt it was a bit of a fantasy. This was not as reliable as his guess!

"Go and tell the leaders of the three major mercenary groups that I will give them three days. If they cannot find out the cause of death of the more than two thousand people who entered the Magical Beast Mountain Range within three days, then the three major mercenary groups will cease to exist. Wanting to drag time, how can it be so easy." Yao Ye said to the man in black under the hall.

"This..." The three leaders heard Ling Yun's words and all frowned.

In the central tent of the Kuang Shi Mercenary Group camp, the bitter melon quartet gathered again. The four people looked at each other, and at this time, they all felt an invisible pressure. They thought that as long as they paddled, they could survive this disaster, but at this time, the knife was already on their necks, and they couldn't run even if they wanted to.

"If these people were really killed by you, then you must be kept in the Imperial Capital this time, or at least erase your hostility towards the Gama Empire. At only fifteen or sixteen years old, you are so cruel, killing more than two thousand people just like that. A person like you is simply too terrifying! Once you know that it was our Imperial Family who spread the news, then our Imperial Family people won't be killed by you!" Yao Ye felt a bit terrified in her heart.

"Now it is people as knives, I am as fish meat. Only by following that person's meaning can we have a way to live. This time we have to dispatch all the mercenaries, and then follow closely behind. After finding out whether it was Nie Feng who did it himself, and then cooperating with the Imperial Family to perform a play, we can hand over the job. Although we will suffer heavy losses this time, the conditions promised by the Imperial Family are not low, enough to make up for all our losses." Ling Yun said seriously.

"The one in the Imperial Capital has already sent word that only three days have been given to us. This time we have to take action even if we don't want to. I didn't expect her to have such a big hand, sending out 50,000 large armies and blocking all the exits of the Magical Beast Mountain Range. Now we can't run even if we want to. Everyone, tell me what to do!" Kuang Shi Mercenary Group leader Laman said in a deep voice.

"Exclude all impossibilities, the remaining one, no matter how bizarre, is the only possibility." Ling Yun said decisively.

"Then what if poison is used? Nie Feng's alchemy was praised by President Fama and Master Gu He. Alchemists don't just refine pills that are beneficial to people; they are also proficient in refining poison." Yao Ye asked rhetorically.

Suddenly, Yao Ye stopped her steps, narrowed her eyes, turned around, and asked Liang Ye: "You say, is it possible that these people were killed by that person named Nie Feng."

"Haven't heard of it, doesn't mean it doesn't exist. Just like the magical pill Longevity Pill, I have rarely heard of it before. And the magical pills he refined, I have never seen before either." Yao Ye said indifferently.

After Yao Ye heard Liang Ye's words, she began to ponder with her brows lowered, constantly pacing slowly in the hall.

Just as Yao Ye's voice fell, a man in black knelt in the center of the hall.

"Although I don't believe it either, and I also think it was done by the mysterious powerhouse behind Nie Feng, but after thinking about it later, I feel that there are many suspicious points. Powerhouses have the rules of conduct of powerhouses. You let a Dou Huang powerhouse kill some low-level mercenaries, and kill them so secretly, how you think it feels unreasonable. If he directly found us, or threatened, or killed directly, it would conform to the style of conduct of a powerhouse, but secretly killing so many of us without letting us discover it. Does this conform to the style of those powerhouses?" Ling Yun analyzed.

"Then what should be done now?" Seeing Ling Yun speak so decisively, the three leaders couldn't help but believe a few more points in their hearts.

"Sigh! We can't afford to offend either family. No matter who we offend, it's a dead end." Dali sighed helplessly.

"Come here!" Yao Ye shouted outside the hall.

"That can only be so!" Laman sighed and said.

"If so, let's lead all the mercenaries in the mercenary group into the Magical Beast Mountain Range." Ji Lei said.
