C1493 A Cripple
"Zhao Cheng, regardless of whether you admit it or not, our Dead Souls Mercenary Group also registered at the Mercenary Headquarters in Lin Xi City. And now, he is the employer of our Dead Souls Mercenary Group. If you attack him, even if your father managed to protect you, it will be a public violation of the Mercenary Treaty. The reputation of Eagle Mercenaries will be tarnished. " Fan Juan said righteously.
Although she didn't know how strong Zhan Tianming was right now, she knew that Zhan Tianming had offended Zhao Cheng because he wanted to help them.
Therefore, no matter what, Dead Souls Mercenary Group couldn't just sit and watch.
As expected!
Being held back by Fan Juan's words, Zhao Cheng and his subordinates did not dare to act rashly.
Usually, with the help of the Eagle Mercenaries's power and influence, they could suppress the Dead Souls Mercenary Group, but no one dared to say anything.
However!
Breaking the Mercenary Treaty was equivalent to putting the Eagle Mercenaries to death.
"Captain, what should we do?" Niger hesitated.
"Hmph!" Zhao Cheng snorted in annoyance. "Kid, consider yourself lucky. You'd better not let me meet you in the La Manya desert. Otherwise, you'll die a horrible death."
"Let's go!"
With a trace of displeasure, Zhao Cheng and the other members of the Eagle Mercenaries left in a grandiose manner.
Fan Juan only let out a long sigh of relief when the people of the Eagle Mercenaries had left.
"Brother Zhan, long time no see." Fan Juan cupped her fists and said. She looked like a heroine.
"Miss Fan, Brother Li..." Zhan Tianming asked.
Fan Juan frowned and hesitated for a moment before saying, "It's a long story. Let's find a place to sit and chat."
Since Zhao Cheng had caused such a ruckus, Fan Juan knew that even if she continued to stay here, it would be the same as usual. There would not be any business coming to her.
She might as well entertain this old friend of hers first.
Zhan Tianming glanced at Li Hunfei and found that even though the latter saw him, he still seemed to be meticulous, as if he had lost his soul.
This was not like the Li Hunfei he knew back then.
Wait a minute...
Suddenly, Zhan Tianming frowned.
Li Hunfei's cultivation... Gone?
At first, Zhan Tianming thought that Li Hunfei was wearing some kind of treasure that could conceal his cultivation base. That was why he didn't notice it at first glance. However, when he took a closer look, he realized that Li Hunfei wasn't wearing a treasure that could conceal his cultivation base. Instead, his cultivation base had completely vanished.
He had been crippled?
Or had something unexpected happened that caused his Martial Ancestor Stage cultivation base to disappear?
At this moment, Zhan Tianming came to a realization.
It turned out that the reason Li Hunfei had become so dispirited was because his cultivation base had disappeared.
After thinking for a moment, Zhan Tianming did not say anything. He followed Fan Juan and the others into a nearby restaurant.
Everyone ordered a private room and ordered some dishes and wine.
Li Hunfei still looked listless, as if he was carried in by two mercenaries.
"Waiter, quickly serve me some wine. I want ten pots!" Li Hunfei shouted at the top of his voice.
Fan Juan shook her head helplessly.
"Miss Fan, the last time we parted in the Southern Region, I remember that Brother Hun Fei said that he would go to the Nine Dragons Imperial Domain, but there was no news about you guys after that. Why did you guys come to the Wind Field?" Zhan Tianming asked.
The last time he saw Li Hunfei and Fan Juan was after the Kun Xu Battle in the Southern Region ended.
At that time, Li Hunfei was ready to rebuild the Dead Souls Mercenary Group, and his face was full of enthusiasm.
But now...
What Zhan Tianming saw was a cripple who looked like he was half dead.
"Sigh..."
Fan Juan let out a long sigh and slowly began to narrate.
It turned out that Li Hunfei was planning to bring Fan Juan to Nine Dragons Imperial Domain at that time, but he did not have enough spirit stones. He could only take a merchant ship and fly slowly.
But who would have thought that the news of Li Hunfei carrying the Hundred Royal Medallion had already reached the ears of the people in power in Twin Dragon Empire.
The other side sent a large number of experts to hunt him down, wanting to take back the Hundred Royal Medallion.
After all, the Hundred Royal Medallion was the symbol of the supreme imperial power in Eastern Region.
How could this thing fall into the hands of an abandoned son who had been chased out of the imperial family?
In that battle, although Li Hunfei and Fan Juan managed to escape with their lives, Li Hunfei was seriously injured.
Although his body recovered in the end, his cultivation was completely crippled.
Finally, the two of them arrived at the west city by accident.
For the sake of living, Fan Juan supported the Dead Souls Mercenary Group by herself, recruiting and training new people.
Unfortunately, in the end, because the young master of the Eagle Mercenaries, Captain, had taken a liking to Fan Juan, the Dead Souls Mercenary Group, which was built with great difficulty, was once again trapped in a difficult situation.
"I have some understanding about the situation in Twin Dragon Empire. It is almost like the overlord of the entire Eastern Region. If they sent assassins, they would at least be at the Emperor level. How can it be as simple as injuring Brother Hun Fei? " Zhan Tianming asked doubtfully.
After all, no matter how weak the Eastern Region was, it wouldn't be a problem for the imperial family of Twin Dragon Empire to send out a few monarch grade assassins.
Otherwise, why would they talk about the overlord of Eastern Region?
It was estimated that there were even some Semi-tao Stage assassins.
"Sigh..." Fan Juan could not help but let out a long sigh, "Actually, there was really a 9-star Sovereign expert among the killers that came. The killer could have killed us, but that person did not. Instead, he deliberately injured Hun Fei, snatched the Hundred Royal Medallion, and deliberately let us go. It was all for the sake of humiliating Hun Fei. "
Crack crack crack...
Fan Juan could not help but clench her fists tightly. She gritted her teeth so hard that cracking sounds could be heard.
"It is precisely because of this that Hun Fei became like this."
Hearing this, Zhan Tianming frowned slightly.
This method of crippling the other party on purpose, not killing him, and even letting him live in pain and despair was truly ruthless.
This was even more ruthless than killing Li Hunfei.
He reckoned that if Fan Juan wasn't by his side, Li Hunfei would have long sought his own death.
"Twin Dragon Empire?"
Zhan Tianming's eyes narrowed slightly, and a cold light flashed through his eyes.
"Humph! Hun Fei is my brother. Since you have humiliated him so much, don't blame me for it."
After a while, Zhan Tianming withdrew the coldness in his heart and looked at Li Hunfei.
"Brother Hun Fei, do you want to stand up again?"
Li Hunfei did not respond. He just drank the wine crazily, one bowl after another. When he heard Zhan Tianming's question, he lifted up a jar of wine and poured it down.
Crash...
Hualala...
The wine spilled all over the floor. The table was also wet. Li Hunfei's shirt was also wet. However, he did not care at all. He just kept drinking his wine.
Fan Juan wanted to step forward to stop him, but was stopped by Zhan Tianming.
"Let him get drunk. After getting drunk today, he should wake up tomorrow."
