Bzzt!

Leader Tian Lang's brain had temporarily shut off. His pupils widened and he seems to be muttering to himself.

"How could this be? I've hit you with severe wounds. How could you possibly have recovered so quickly?"

Could it be...

Suddenly, Leader Tian Lang seemed to remember that Gu Ruoyun had fed something to the flaming lion. His body then trembled greatly as the shock in his eyes deepened.

Only one item could heal a dying spiritual beast who had suffered such a severe loss of blood with such rapid speed.

That was... A legendary pill!

Is this little girl really Gu Ruoyun, whose reputation had risen since the Medicine Sect's general meeting?

Leader Tian Lang's body trembled even more when he thought of this possibility. He then shook his head vigorously, trying to force himself away from believing this fact.

"Human, you're really dumb. One day, you'll end up dead and you won't even know how it had happened!"

The flaming lion scoffed and paced haughtily as he spoke in a hoarse voice.

If these guys ever hurt Lord Gu Ruoyun, my King would immediately lead every spiritual animal from Nemesis Forest and hunt them down to avenge her!

At the end of the day, they might not even be aware of their own cause of death !

"I've told you, she isn't the kind of person whom you should humiliate."

Ye Ying shook his head and sighed when he saw the look on his rival of many years' face.

It was a good thing that he had met Gu Ruoyun first.

Otherwise, he might be the one in shock instead.

"Ye Ying," said Gu Ruoyun as she slowly turned. She then calmly continued, "The issues surrounding the World Destruction Mercenaries have nothing to do with me nor am I willing to step into the grudge between the two of you. However, my brother has been dragged into your business today so I can't just sit idly by!"

Ye Ying looked absolutely ashamed, "My apologies, Miss Gu. I didn't know that this would happen. Don't worry, I'll destroy the Heavenly Wolf Mercenaries one day."

Gu Ruoyun smiled as she said, "I had not wanted to get involved but I will send someone to help you. This will be considered as the price they'll have to pay for crossing Yu'er!"

She paused before she continued to speak, "Lan Ge, if you want to be my disciple, it won't be that easy! I still want to put you through a test first! The first test will require you to lead the World Destruction Mercenaries and defeat the Heavenly Wolf Mercenaries in one day."

Lan Ge?

Ye Ying's face filled with astonishment. Lan Ge is the help that Gu Ruoyun is sending to me?

Lan Ge was mildly shocked. His eyes blinked gently but he did not reply.

Gu Lan had continued to observe Gu Ruoyun and Lan Ge with a very curious look on her face. She could not understand what was happening. Why is Lan Ge coming with us to destroy the Heavenly Wolf Mercenaries?

"Yu'er."

After Gu Ruoyun had given her order, she then turned her attention towards Xia Linyu. Her expression softened as she smiled gently, "You're tired as well. Let's go get some rest first."

She did not need to do anything for whatever happens next. With Lan Ge around, destroying the Heavenly Wolf Mercenaries would not be a problem.

"Alright."

Xia Linyu smiled gently and glanced at Gu Lan before he followed Gu Ruoyun into the courtyard.

Gu Lan did not know why but when she had accidentally locked eyes with Xia Linyu, she felt a jolt in her heart which soon steadied.

She gently rubbed her chest as her sweet and beautiful features filled with confusion, "What was that feeling? Could it be due to my attempt to lift the seal earlier on which has caused an issue to happen in my body? It seems that I'll need to have a good rest after we destroy the Heavenly Wolf Mercenaries."
