C437 A Very Cruel Place
He learned that although the Sunset Village looked simple and poor on the surface, there were many warriors and merchants coming and going, and the economy was very developed.
In addition, there was a special force in the Sunset Village. It could be said that it was a large force formed by many small forces, and that was the Adventure Group.
At first, even if the Sunset Village was a large village that had been merged with many small villages, it was still difficult to resist the invasion of Demonic Beasts in the mountain range.
Later, as the trade economy continued to develop, several big businessmen were unwilling to give up such a developed trade village. They established a force called the Adventurer Group and specially recruited powerful warriors from the surrounding towns to resist the invasion of Demonic Beasts.
However, the more people there were, the more contradictions and conflicts there were. The Adventurer Group was the same.
Therefore, gradually, a large Adventurer Group split into many independent small forces.
Even so, they were still collectively called the adventure group.
Thinking of the warriors who went to the Sunset Mountain Range to train, they would usually go through the Sunset Village first and join some group of adventurers.
"However, the warriors here are generally not strong. No wonder they want to form an adventure group."
Bai Qingfeng looked around and found that all the warriors around him were at the Imperial Profound Stage realm. There were only a few of them who were at the Lesser Heaven realm.
According to Bai Qingfeng's guess, the strength of the medicinal Sunset Mountain Ranges in Sunset Mountain Range should be about the same as the Demonic Beast mountain range in Chaotian City, or even a little higher.
If the martial artists here did not stick together, they would have long been eaten by the medicinal Demonic Beasts.
Right at this time, Bai Qingfeng suddenly heard a familiar voice coming from a courtyard not far away.
"Zhang Chen, don't go too far!"
This voice was... Mu Rong Kui?
Why was he here?
Bai Qingfeng immediately recognized the voice that came from the courtyard not far away. It belonged to Mu Rong Kui.
However, this was the Sunset Village of Sunset Mountain Range, very far from Desolate Heaven City.
"No wonder I haven't seen Mu Rong Kui in the past few days. So he came here. I should go and take a look and see what's going on inside."
Bai Qingfeng's mind moved as he walked towards the courtyard where the sound was coming from.
Hearing what he said just now, it was obvious that Mu Rong Kui must have encountered something bad.
...
A few minutes ago, in the courtyard where the Greencloud Adventure Group was located.
There was no one at the entrance of the courtyard or the courtyard. It was quiet and quiet, but the house was very noisy.
At this moment, in the house, the leader of the Greencloud Adventure Group, Liu Pingfeng, and the deputy leader were confronting a group of burly men with fierce looks on their faces.
If Bai Qingfeng was here, he would definitely find out that the deputy leader of the Greencloud Adventure Group was Mu Rong Kui.
In front of the group of burly men, stood a luxuriously dressed young man with an arrogant smile on his face.
"Liu Pingfeng, since your Greencloud Adventure Group has attached itself to our Black Wind Adventure Group, isn't it perfectly justified for you to provide gold coins to our Black Wind Adventure Group every month?" The young man stared at Liu Pingfeng in front of him with a proud tone.
"Young Master Zhang, your Black Wind Adventure Group has doubled the amount of gold coins offered this month. Isn't this too much?" At this time, behind Liu Pingfeng, a young woman with many pimples on her face and an ordinary appearance wearing armor stood out and said indignantly.
"I'm talking to your leader. Who do you think you are to dare to interrupt me here?" The young man's eyes were as sharp as blades as he glared at the woman. His cold tone carried a trace of disdain.
The young woman's cultivation base was only at the ninth level of the Imperial Profound Stage realm. Her face instantly turned pale.
At this moment, Liu Pingfeng stood in front of the young woman and finally asked, "Young Master Zhang, last month, your Black Wind Adventure Group had just raised the number of gold coins offered by 10,000 to 20,000. Why did it double again this month, and directly increase to 50,000?!"
"Liu Pingfeng, this Sunset Mountain Range is a very cruel place. If your Greencloud Adventure Group doesn't have the protection of our Black Wind Adventure Group, I'm sure you know what will happen to you."
The young man said with disdain, "So, it's only natural for me to collect 50,000 gold coins from your Greencloud Adventure Group."
"50,000 gold coins might just be a small number to you all. But for our Greencloud Adventure Group, it's completely different!"
Liu Pingfeng forcefully suppressed the anger in his heart and said with a gloomy face, Our Greencloud Adventure Group is a weak adventurer group. We don't earn much gold coins every month. How do you expect us to take out such a huge amount of gold coins?"
"Liu Pingfeng, if you can't take out gold coins, it's not like there's no other way."
In response to Liu Pingfeng's question, the young man just smiled faintly, "If all of you from the Greencloud Adventure Group are willing to belong to the Black Wind Adventure Group, you won't need to offer anything in the future. What do you think?"
As soon as the young man's words came out, it immediately caused all the members of the Greencloud Adventure Group to resist.
"Captain, we can't surrender to them. At worst, we'll fight them to the death!"
"That's right, Captain. If we still have 50,000 gold coins, after we give them to them, our Greencloud Adventure Group will be separated from them. We can no longer be exploited by them!"
"That's right. Now that the deputy commander has joined us, the strength of our Greencloud Adventure Group is no longer the same as before. Even if we don't rely on the Black Wind Adventure Group, we can still live a good life here."
“ ...
"Guild Leader..." Murong Kui, who had been silent the entire time, looked at Liu Pingfeng with a worried expression, but he didn't know what to say.
"I know."
Liu Pingfeng was silent for a moment, then he said to the young man, "The Greencloud Adventure Group will not belong to you. We can only take out 20,000 gold coins now, and we will make up for the rest later.
But from now on, our Greencloud Adventure Group will no longer belong to the Black Wind Adventure Group! "
"Alright!"
Well said, Captain!"
“ ... ""
All the members of the Greencloud Adventure Group in the room cheered.
The young man smiled coldly and said, "You can leave the Black Wind Adventure Group if you want, but...
That fifty thousand gold coins should be enough to sell all of your belongings."
Mu Rong Kui was stunned for a moment. Then, he realized what the young man meant. He shouted angrily, "Stop!" Zhang Chen, don't go too far! "
