Chapter 3948: Without Hesitation

As battles increased, they grew more and more impressed with the Wolf Hunt Mercenary Corps.

Ye Liuyun and his companions not only have strong individual combat abilities and abundant experience, but their teamwork is also seamless.

They also admire Ye Liuyun even more; whether defense or offense, everything is arranged methodically. Ai Dou reads a book.

His quick response to the fire spirit today alone makes Leng Qingwu and Xiao Wufeng sigh that they fall short.

"No wonder he's the team leader!"

Ye Liuyun reacted correctly in an instant, without any hint of panic.

So gradually the other two mercenary groups, the Black Armor Guards, and even Fu Wushuang began to follow his orders.

With unified command over the team, Ye Liuyun found himself much more at ease.

After so many battles he has come to understand everyone's combat abilities, allowing him to allocate strength more effectively and reduce casualties.

In later fights he rarely rushes to the front line, instead staying by Fu Wushuang's side while remotely controlling the whole situation.

His clone fights ahead for him, protecting Ye Tiandao and Tang Xinyao.

Two months later they finally landed in a Human Race star system, able to rest for a while.

Ye Liuyun and his group have become accustomed to navigating the Xingkong and need no supplies. Moreover, they notice that the further they go, the higher the Martial Cultivator realms seem to be, so they all stay within the Cave Heaven World to devote time to cultivation.

The other two mercenary groups go out to relax, and Fu Wushuang also takes the Black Armor Guards to purchase some supplies and Flying Boat Parts.

However, a day later Fu Wushuang suddenly returned to the Flying Boat with four Black Armor Guards, urgently calling Ye Liuyun.

"What's wrong?"

Ye Liuyun also stepped out at once to inquire.

"Leng Qingwu and the others have gotten into trouble; a rescue message has been received!"

Fu Wushuang, holding a Transmission Talisman, said.

Only Fu Wushuang possesses the three team leaders' Transmission Talismans, enabling contact with them; the others cannot reach each other.

At this moment, Xiao Wufeng also returned to the Flying Boat with his men. He had received Fu Wushuang's message and came back immediately.

"What's happening?" he asked Fu Wushuang upon his return.

"I'm not sure exactly what occurred, only that they were detained by the City Lord's Mansion! The rescue message was brief and urgent! I've already sent four people to the City Lord's Mansion to scout the situation."

Fu Wushuang said anxiously, urging Ye Liuyun and Xiao Wufeng to act and rescue them.

Technically, their mercenary groups are only responsible for protecting Fu Wushuang's safety and have no obligation to rescue others.

But Ye Liuyun immediately went back to summon people without a word, while Xiao Wufeng hesitated.

One concerns payment, the other because Leng Qingwu's group has offended the local City Lord's Mansion; mishandling it could provoke the star system's authorities to intervene and besiege them.

When Ye Liuyun led his men out, Xiao Wufeng also voiced his concerns.

"Then I'll pay; hire you to rescue them!" Fu Wushuang hurriedly said.

He already regards these people as his own and doesn't want to abandon Leng Qingwu's group.

"It's not just about the rescue fee; have you considered what trouble could arise if you provoke the City Lord's Mansion?"

Xiao Wufeng's temperament is cautious, and he weighs many considerations.

Ye Liuyun didn't think he was wrong. After all, becoming a mercenary is just to earn a living; no one wants to die for others.

But rescuing now is urgent; lingering too long could cause trouble.

So he immediately said, "Xiao Wufeng's men stay to guard the Flying Boat; I'll go with you to rescue them. Time is tight, let's go!"

"Alright!" Fu Wushuang said no more, rushing with Ye Liuyun toward the City Lord's Mansion.

As they walked, they also kept in contact with the people they had dispatched.

"Apparently, Leng Qingwu's group went to the trade guild to buy goods, was harassed by the City Lord's son, whose subordinate insulted that son, and the two sides ended up fighting!"

Fu Wushuang also relayed the information gathered by his subordinates to Ye Liuyun.

"If that's the case, there's no other way; we have to storm in directly! Otherwise they won't hand them over!"

Ye Liuyun has encountered this many times and knows that dealing with a domineering City Lord's Mansion requires sheer force. If you go in politely first, the result is the same, only wasting time.

If the delay is too long and the City Lord's son further defiles Leng Qingwu, regret will be too late.

"Alright, I'm following your lead!" Fu Wushuang was decisive, trusting Ye Liuyun's judgment.

"Then have your men act immediately, storm the City Lord's Mansion at once, guide us, and I'll lead my men forward."

Ye Liuyun also promptly ordered Fu Wushuang's people to act.

"Act, storm the City Lord's Mansion and rescue them; we'll be there immediately!" Fu Wushuang instantly issued the command via the Transmission Talisman.

Immediately, Ye Liuyun and his group heard the sound of Zhen Yuan Gong Ji.

"We'll go first!" Ye Liuyun said.

Ye Liuyun gave a brief order, immediately using Space Translocation and his clone to rush over. The others also began to wield their Spatial Power, hurrying there at full speed.

"I'll go rescue them!"

Upon arrival, Ye Liuyun told his clone to vanish into the void, using Gold Eye Search to locate Leng Qingwu and the others, while the clone unleashed a full‑force strike on the City Lord's Mansion, creating a huge commotion.

In the City Lord's Mansion Back Yard, Leng Qingwu was bound and tossed onto a bed, her True Essence sealed within a Yuan Dan, rendering her unable to exert any strength.

A Talisman Paper was stuck on her Sea of Consciousness, likely a seal imprisoning her Soul.

A middle‑aged man stared at her with a lecherous grin, about to pull down her clothing.

He muttered, "I, the young master, love taming stubborn wild mares like you. Today you'll truly taste what it means to be a woman…"

At that moment, the sudden clash of battle distracted him. He opened the door and used Divine Sense to scan, discovering that the attackers were several Black Armor Cultivators, all at the Hédào Yīchóng realm.

He promptly shut the door without concern and also activated the courtyard's Defense Array.

He snarled at Leng Qingwu, "Your allies have come to save you! Heh, but they're no match; coming here is just a death sentence."

"After I finish enjoying you, I'll give you to the servants so they can watch how my men toy with you beneath me. Let them, before they die, know the fate of crossing me."

Having said that, he reached for Leng Qingwu's clothing again. If it weren't for the rope binding her, he would have stripped her completely by now.

Leng Qingwu now had no chance to die, she could only glare at him in humiliation.

Suddenly, another loud boom came from afar. The young master paused for a moment, but seeing the ravishing Leng Qingwu before him, he didn't want to bother with outside affairs anymore.

Anyway, if a fight broke out, the experts from the City Lord's mansion would handle it, so it wouldn't be his turn to act; he might as well enjoy himself here first.

But just as he was about to strike again, a violent tremor came from the Formation outside.

"Damn it, when will this ever end!"

He felt the commotion outside was killing the mood, so he swore and went to open the door to check, never expecting the Formation to be broken so quickly.
