Contracting divine beasts, refining divine pills, and the gods worshipping the Ninth Young Master

But this time, I didn’t expect such a big gossip to appear.

In a lively tavern in Leiming City, Luo Jiusheng sat in a corner, quietly listening to the discussions around him.

"Have you heard? The leader of the Scarlet Mercenary Group, Fu Zhangtian, is dead."

"I heard about it, I heard about it. Such a big thing has already spread all over Thunder City."

"It is said that not only Fu Zhangtian died, but also his daughter, the vicious woman Fu Yehong, died, and the leader of the Bloody Mercenary Group, the Fourth Elder, also died."

"I've heard about it, but this is very strange. If he's dead, why didn't the Scarlet Mercenary Group announce the death for so long? The other people in the group act as if nothing happened."

"Oh, your information is still incomplete. Didn't you feel the extremely powerful aura outside the city three days ago?"

"Of course I felt it. What do you mean? Could this incident be related to the death of the leader of the Scarlet Mercenary Group?"

Someone asked curiously. Almost everyone in Thunder City had sensed the aura three days ago. However, they were weak and did not dare to go and check it out immediately no matter how curious they were.

After the smell had lasted for a long time, mercenaries with cultivation levels below that of Spirit God went there, but they found nothing. All traces of the scene had long been wiped out by the first group of people who rushed there.

Many people came back empty-handed and could not find any other clues, so they turned their attention to other things.

Unexpectedly, such a big thing really happened. The news came from somewhere, saying that the leader of the Crimson Mercenary Group, Fu Zhangtian, died inexplicably.

No one believed it at first, but the Crimson Mercenary Group never refuted the rumor, and Fu Zhangtian never showed up, so no one could help but believe it.

However, the leader of one of the three major mercenary groups died. Logically, the other mercenary groups should have taken some action, but those two mercenary groups were very quiet, accepting missions as required, and their style of doing things did not change from usual.

Therefore, the ordinary mercenaries who did not know the truth became even more confused.

In the past few days, people everywhere in Leiming City have been discussing whether Fu Zhangtian is dead or not, and whether Leiming City will be managed by two major mercenary groups in the future.

"Shh, all of you keep your voices down. I just found out about this. I don't dare announce it loudly, but I'm really feeling very uncomfortable. It's enough for only a few of us to know about it. You must keep it a secret." The person who mentioned the breath three days ago lowered his voice and spoke softly.

"What? What? Tell me now. With all our relationships, do you still not trust us?"

"That's right..." the others quickly echoed.

The man stopped keeping the secret and whispered, "I heard that the leader of the Blood Mercenary Group, Fu Zhangtian, went out of the city three days ago to look for a treasure. That treasure was the powerful aura from three days ago.

It is said that he is not dead, but he lied and said he was dead because he was afraid that the treasure would be snatched away by others. He will show up when he has conquered the treasure and his strength has reached a higher level. "

"Really? No wonder the other two major mercenary groups didn't act rashly."

"That's not right. I've also heard about the treasure. But there's another version, saying that Fu Zhangtian really died. The treasure was a divine beast, and Fu Zhangtian wanted to snatch it, but was killed instead."

"What? A divine beast? What kind of divine beast can kill two spiritual masters in seconds? The four elders of the Blood Mercenary Group were there at the time. There shouldn't be such a powerful divine beast in the Fallen God Continent, right?"

"Yes, no matter how powerful that divine beast is, in our Luoshen Continent, at best it is equivalent to the strength of a peak spiritual god. No matter how strong its physical body is, it is impossible to kill two spiritual gods in one second."

"Oh, this is the point I'm going to talk about next." The man who first said that Fu Zhangtian was not dead had a serious expression on his face and lowered his voice to continue. "You have all heard of what I just said. But you definitely don't know what I'm going to say next."

"What? Stop keeping us in suspense and tell us now." The others urged.

The man caught enough attention, with a hint of pride in his eyes, and then he continued: "That beast, I heard it was the ancient beast Void Dragon! That's why the two spirit gods couldn't defeat it."

As soon as the man finished speaking, the originally bustling tavern suddenly became quiet.

These mercenaries usually speak casually and most of them don't care about details, so no one would be so pretentious as to set up a barrier when talking in the tavern. Most things are just listened to as gossip and then passed by. No one will really take these things to heart.

After all, for mercenaries, it is more important to complete missions and survive. They tend to be straightforward and few people would go around in circles.

But this time, although the person's voice was low, we were all cultivators, so we could still hear it if we wanted to.

The Void Demon Dragon! That is thousands of times more precious than ordinary mythical beasts!

Therefore, the mercenaries who heard these words intentionally or unintentionally fell silent, and their breathing subconsciously became faster.

If they could possess this ancient mythical beast, they would be able to walk sideways in this Fallen God Continent...

If you can make a contract with the Void Dragon, who would want to be a dangerous mercenary?

......

Most people in the tavern thought the same. After a while, one of the people who had discussed the matter at the beginning came to his senses and asked cautiously, "Is it really the Void Dragon?"

"I think it's eighty percent likely. The Void Dragon's innate ability is to control space. Only when it's there, the two spirit gods won't be able to tear the space apart and escape." Someone expressed his guess.

"It's very possible. There's no smoke without fire. No wonder the three major mercenary groups didn't come out to explain the news this time. They probably want to secretly snatch it for themselves."

"I think so. Fu Zhangtian is definitely not dead, otherwise the Eagle and War Owl Mercenaries would have discussed annexing the Scarlet Mercenaries a long time ago, and it wouldn't be as peaceful as it is now."

"So, Fu Zhangtian's death was just a smokescreen released by the Bloody Mercenary Group. He has not shown up yet. Is he secretly trying to recapture the Void Dragon?"

......

There were several versions circulating in Leiming City about whether Fu Zhangtian was dead or not. Some said he was dead, some said he was seriously injured, some said he was hiding, and some said he was controlled by the other two mercenary groups...

But privately, most people believe in the existence of the Void Dragon.

Therefore, in the past few days, and in the days that followed, many more people had joined the Crimson Mercenary Group to investigate the situation, both openly and covertly. Spies planted by other forces inside the group were also ready to move, and several powerful elders in the group were extremely worried.

Not only do they have to conceal the news of Fu Zhangtian's death, but they also have to deal with outside investigations. Not only that, as it involves a change of power, they also have to be on guard against each other.

It can be said that they were really exhausted both physically and mentally. Many people even blamed the deceased Fu Zhangtian. As the team leader with such a high level of cultivation, he didn't know what to provoke and what not to provoke.

If the elders had not known about the existence of the blood pool and felt confident, the Crimson Mercenary Group would probably have been in disarray.

Of course, the members of the Blood Mercenary Group also knew about the existence of the Void Dragon, and they were sure that Fu Zhangtian was dead, so they were even more excited about the strength of the Void Dragon. They were also secretly looking for the disappeared ancient beast.

In short, although there was no major movement in the entire Thunder City on the surface, there were turbulent waves in secret.

Luo Jiusheng, who caused all this, calmly left the tavern after learning the current situation and that no one suspected her small Netherworld Mercenary Group. She went to Duobao Pavilion in Leiming City and exchanged the gains of the Netherworld Guards in the past few days except for the mission for other usable training resources.

As for the blood pool of the Crimson Mercenary Group, Luo Jiusheng was not in a hurry to find out the truth.

Let Leiming City be in chaos for a while because of Fu Zhangtian’s death. Her Nether Mercenary Group can take advantage of the situation and upgrade themselves.

And the fact was just as Luo Jiusheng had expected. By the time the high-level mercenary groups in Leiming City noticed Luo Jiusheng's Netherworld Mercenary Group, the Netherworld Mercenary Group had already become a seventh-level mercenary group.

Moreover, they were promoted to the seventh-level mercenary group within a month, which broke the historical record of the promotion speed of the mercenary group.

After a month of investigation, apart from confirming that Fu Zhangtian was really dead, the two major mercenary groups, Eagle and War Owl, did not find any trace of the Void Dragon, and even there was no news of the person with the aura of the Spirit Lord that day.

It's as if it appeared out of thin air.

As for why Fu Zhangtian was chasing that man and how he discovered the Void Dragon, they couldn't find out no matter what.

The spies planted in the Scarlet Mercenary Group were unable to find out the reason.

They intuitively felt that the Crimson Mercenaries must be hiding something, but they just couldn't find it out yet.

This is also the reason why the two mercenary groups never took action against the Crimson Mercenary Group after confirming that Fu Zhangtian was dead.

In their current position, if they are not careful, they will be doomed, so before they are completely sure, they will not openly break off relations with the Scarlet Mercenaries.

Just when they focused their attention on the Void Dragon and the Crimson Mercenary Group, such a promising mercenary group suddenly emerged right under their noses.
