Chapter 864: A Rising Storm (4)
Ling’s beautiful lips curled up. “Miss Yun, you’re really considerate, but I’m willing to help you even if it will get me busier.”
Yun Feng was extremely embarrassed. Xia Qing was chuckling on the side. She knew that her teacher was popular. It seemed that there were a lot of pursuers! “No need. Go do your thing. You don’t have to worry about me.” Yun Feng felt a bit passive every time she talked to Ling. The polite and gentle man in front of her gave Yun Feng the feeling that he was a fox that observed rabbits from afar.
“Miss Yun, I certainly won’t let you down. If you need anything, I’ll be there.”
Yun Feng nodded and turned around to leave. She saw Qu Lanyi’s handsome face that was almost as black as the bottom of a pot not far away, but Ling stopped Yun Feng. “Miss Yun, there’s still about a week to go until the Summoners’ Convention. More summoners will come here during this period of time. Please be careful, Miss Yun.”
“Alright, got it.”
After saying that, Ling bowed and left quickly. Yun Feng, on the other hand, was thinking about what Ling said. More summoners would come here. As the date of the Summoners’ Convention approached, more summoners would gather here and many powerhouses would come one after another. Thousand Peak City would soon be a place of turmoil.
Because of the Summoners’ Convention this time, many areas had been strictly divided in Thousand Peak City. The gathering place of summoners was one of them. Another area was divided in the four corners of Thousand Peak City. There was no telling what it was used for. The west and north were also two closed areas. Yun Feng walked all the way across Thousand Peak City. There weren’t many places she could visit. Most areas weren’t open. She could only wait until the Summoners’ Convention was held.
In the next few days, Yun Feng didn’t go around. More and more people had already come to the Thousand Peak City from various places. More and more summoners appeared in the Thousand Peak City. The number of people in the reception building of the Summoning Union obviously increased a lot compared to a few days ago. Some summoners were alone, while some brought one or two people. From the room on the fourth floor where Yun Feng was located, she could see the scene outside the reception building clearly, and the Thousand Peak City gradually became lively.
All kinds of people appeared in the city. Yun Feng looked at the scene outside through the window these few days. The Summoners’ Convention would officially begin in two days. As the number of summoners increased, Yun Feng was certain that there was a gap between the East Continent and the West Continent again. Among these summoners, there might not be any summoners from the East Continent other than her, and most of them were from the West Continent. Whether they had a family background or not, the West Continent could be said to have all the advantages in terms of the resource of summoners.
Even though the level of warriors on the East Continent was higher than that on the West Continent, this was something that the West Continent could completely ignore, because summoners were very strong at commanding Magic Beasts. If it weren’t for the barriers of the Ten Thousand Beast Mountain Range, the East Continent would probably have already been swallowed up.
...The East Continent and the West Continent were so different. If the Ten Thousand Beast Mountain Range lost its effect, what would happen to the East Continent… Thinking of this, Yun Feng couldn’t help but smile. The Ten Thousand Beast Mountain Range lost its effect? Unless all the Magic Beasts living inside disappeared, the Ten Thousand Beast Mountain Range would always be there.
During this period of time, very few summoners in the Thousand Peak City summoned their contracted Magic Beasts. Even if they did, they would only summon ordinary Magic Beasts. Those rare and precious species were rarely seen, or it would inevitably cause a commotion.
Xia Qing had been with Yun Feng for the past few days. Yun Feng didn’t go out, so she certainly didn’t go out alone. She also looked out of the window with Yun Feng. Xia Qing observed every summoner who passed by the reception building curiously. Some of them could be detected, while some couldn’t at all. Xia Qing also knew that there would definitely be crouching tigers and hidden dragons in this convention, but her teacher would definitely be the most powerful!
“Master! Master, look!” Xia Qing noticed something and pulled Yun Feng. Yun Feng looked over. In the middle of the road in front of the reception building of the Summoning Union, a few figures were walking over in a sorry state. Yun Feng’s vision wasn’t restricted at all at such a distance. She glanced over with her black eyes and suddenly brightened! The next second, Yun Feng had already opened the window and jumped down from the fourth floor!
Xia Qing couldn’t help but exclaim when she saw this and she also jumped down. Yun Feng didn’t attract much attention when she fell from the sky. Xia Qing also landed behind her, wondering what her teacher saw. Yun Feng didn’t say anything. She just stood there and looked straight ahead with her black eyes. Xia Qing looked over and saw those few messy people who attracted her attention!
The few people who gradually walked over were in an extremely sorry state. Their clothes were a bit tattered and their hair was also messy. It seemed that they had gone through an intense battle. The three people in the middle had a high status. The three people behind them were dressed like guards. Yun Feng’s gaze directly looked past the three people with noble status and looked at the three guards behind them. Her black eyes locked onto the badges on their chests tightly.
That was a maple leaf, the symbol of the Red Maple Mercenary Team!
Why would the warriors of the Red Maple Mercenary Team appear on the West Continent? And why would the three people they were escorting appear here? Perhaps…
“How embarrassing!” The girl with messy hair and a flushed face gritted her teeth and said. The other girl next to her tidied her clothes that were full of holes and smiled at her. “Stop complaining. We’re lucky to be alive.”
On the other side was a young man whose face was covered in a layer of soil and extremely dry blood. His clothes were also in a mess. He glanced at the complaining girl next to him with obvious disdain on his unremarkable facial features. “Who said that the mercenaries of the Cashya Empire are strong? They were all wiped out.”
The complaining girl blushed fiercely. “Ovey isn’t any better! They’re all dead!”
Seeing that the two of them were about to argue, the girl on the other side quickly stopped them. “Alright, alright. We have to thank the Red Maple Mercenary Team. If it weren’t for them, we…”
“Why are you thanking them? Are you crazy? It’s their duty to protect us now that we’ve hired them!” The complaining girl in the middle suddenly shouted, which attracted all kinds of weird and mocking gazes from the roadside. The young man’s face darkened. “You could embarrass yourself more.”
