The youth had one hand outstretched forward and everyone could see the last bit of blood being sucked into his palm whilst Teng -[who had the same expression of shock he had when the strike was about to land plastered on his face]- was standing to his side unhurt…
"I hate people who hit others from behind!"
[Damn, that came out wrong!]
Min Hong almost keeled over in laughter at the irony of his statement, considering how many girls he had screwed from behind…
But this was not the time to be thinking of that, thus, he glided forward at a leisurely pace with occasional flaps of his artistic wings…
The moment Min Hong moved, Teng followed right behind him, and it was only then that everyone noticed that there was another figure of a boy who was just about Min Hong's mate on every level except for the fact that Min Hong seemed a bit grander, compact, full and vault-like; it was like as if 99.999 percent of Min Hong was still locked away…
The very sense of the unknown Min Hong was radiating was what struck a subtle and subconscious sense of fear into everyone who was resent, bar Gong Yi…
They didn't know who Min Hong was and which side he was going to pick, or even if he was going to pick any, but as far as they were concerned, they could only sense that he was in the 7 Star Nascent Soul stage, but whenever Fao Hai looked into Min Hong's eyes, he always got this faint sense of gazing into the eyes of a reaper sent to harvest his soul…
Furthermore, he also got this feeling of having a massive guillotine hanging over his neck and Min Hong's eyes seemed to carry the vibe of someone who had witnessed several eons and millennials, the rise and fall of several civilizations and all; probably because he carries the experience of Daniel and Little Fei within himself, causing him to be thrice as mysterious as an average person…
Min Hong simply maintained a slight smile on his face, one that didn't signify if he was an enemy, friend or passerby, and this level of unpredictability was driving the entire crowd nuts, as the experts from the Diamond Crust mercenaries began to take a step backwards with every single foot Min Hong advanced…
Fao Hai seemingly regained his confidence when Min Hong moved closer to him as he was able to sense his cultivation very well and became more convinced that Min Hong was only in the 7 Star Nascent Soul stage, and whilst that was very OP when one leveraged his power level with his appearance…
But to Fao Hai, he believed that the name of their mercenary group and their leader should be able to strike fear into whatever expert or elder was protecting Min Hong from the shadows, and he also believed that whoever it was that was probably protecting Min Hong wouldn't want to fight against ten Saint Stage expert and the entire host of the Diamond Crust Mercenaries…
Thus he stepped forward and spoke;
"Little kid, we are with the Diamond Crust Mercenaries, and I hope you don't interfere with our business here…" Min Hong paused and responded;
"We don't plan on doing so, thus, please carry on with whatever it is you were doing…"
Min Hong didn't know why but despite his true age [15], and his young appearance, he still felt somewhat pissed at being called a 'Little Kid', and Gong Yi seemed to sense it and as a result he quickly stepped forward to speak…
Min Hong initially planned to speak, but since Gong Yi had stepped forward, he didn't bother to say anything else, but the entire crowd including Fao Hai took that for weakness, as they began to frown annoyingly at Min Hong seemingly out of their distaste for how they had cowered backwards in the presence of someone who they thought was a powerful expert…
Fao Hai looked back at Jun Tao, and just as he was about to bring his mission to an end, Jun Tao blurted; "Young master, if there is anything you need within the land of stones, I will tell you as long as you can help me out of here…"
Though Jun Tao didn't know the full extent of Min Hong's cultivation base power, but he was sure that if his friend [Gong Yi] was in any way as strong as Min Hong [Who appeared to be in the 7 Star Nascent Soul Stage], then if they both joined hands together, then they might just be able to survive their current predicament…
Fao Hai gave a ridiculing laugh at Jun Tao as he muttered;
"You have become so miserable desperate that you are willing to drag anyone you can find into your predicament…" Fao Hai sighed, but then Min Hong simply spoke from the sides;
"I am actually looking for someone, if there is any way you can help me let me know… I never allow anyone who helps me to suffer loss…"
Min Hong who maintained a neutral stand, expression and intent revealed spoke not particularly towards the injured Jun Tao, but more as an open invitation to anyone who were prepared to help him out or strike a deal with him;
"Little Kid, we have both decided to mind our own matters and here you are doing what you just said you won't, just some minutes after you gave your word…"
"Firstly, I didn't give my word… Secondly, I am merely asking questions, and I don't see how that prevents you from doing whatever it is you want…"
"Lastly, I just wanted to ask about someone and their whereabouts… Is this how you treat everyone who asks for directions?"
Min Hong was already getting more and more repulsed by Fao Hai's behavior and more annoyingly him using the term ''Little Kid' once again…
"Alright, ask whatever you want to and skid off immediately!"
Fao Hai was also getting pissed by Min Hong's nonstop interruption and knowing that a fight was going to break out if they didn't leave the place on time, Gong Yi stepped forward and asked;
"We are looking for a man named Jun Tao, does anyone know where we might be able to find him?"
Gong Yi was replied by a stunned silence and a very awkward gaze from the crowd…
On Jun Tao's side, they didn't know if the duo were looking for their leader for bad or good reasons, and it was the same for Fao Hai's side also, but then Teng who Min Hong had saved earlier then spoke;
"Young master, I believe the person you are looking for is our leader over there, and please, if he has offended you in any way, allow me to take his punishment in his place…"
Min Hong and Gong Yi looked to the man who ha d been stabbed in the back and were slightly stunned…
They hadn't been given any information about the person they were looking for because Jun Tao was a spy for the Empire, and no one knows if these people from the land of stones also had a spy within the Empire...
Thus as a result, they only had a question to ask anyone they felt was Jun Tao and thus Min Hong proceeded with the question;
"If you claim to be the Jun Tao I am looking for, then you should know there is a question you are supposed to answer right?"
Jun Tao was a little bit stunned at first, then joy gradually began to surface on his face;
"Sure, young master!" Jun Tao responded;
"Alright then, here we go…"
"What happens when an unstoppable force meets an immovable body?"
Min Hong asked as the rest of the crowd felt a little befuddled and stumped by the question…
On one side was an unstoppable force; which means; nothing can stand in its way, but on the other hand; was an immovable body which just like it is pronounced wouldn't move even if all existence were to get destroyed…
Even Fao Hai didn't know when he began to think about the question, but no matter what they did or how they looked at it, they couldn't come up with a simple, concise answer, and as a result, they all looked towards Jun Tao who was the one that was going to answer the question…
Fao Hai saw the stumped expression on Jun Tao's face and instantly became elated; If Jun Tao couldn't answer the question, then the youth would probably leave and then he can finish him off before Gu Ming; the leader of the Diamond Crust Mercenaries realize that he was doing all these things behind his back...
This was part of his grand plan to take over the Diamond Crust Mercenaries for the strongest expert within the Land Of Stones, who didn't want Gu Ming to suspect a thing even after he was done taking over the entire region…
But then Jun Tao looked up and spoke;
"They surrender!"
He blurted with slight pain as everyone looked towards Gong Yi who nodded towards Min Hong who then looked towards Jun Tao and spoke;
"Correct!" Then he proceeded to blatantly add;
"We were sent here by the Empire and we are core disciples of the Desert Sun Sect!"
Min Hong revealed as Jun Tao looked towards the duo with an incredulous expression;
"Desert Sun Sect unh…. I guess a lot has changed since I last saw the Sect Leader…"
He said with a funny smile as he looked towards the duo and spoke;
"But you have come a little too late…"
"This guy has slaughtered 80 percent of all the Desert Sun Sect disciples that risked their lives to come out here to help the Empire…"
The middle-aged Jun Tao spoke with a crestfallen expression and pained tone but Min Hong simply responded;
"Well then, he would have to supplement our loss with some of the members of their so-called Diamond Crust Mercenaries…"
Min Hong spoke with the same flat expression and tone he had used since he got here as Fao Hai frowned in fury as he commanded with a strong bellow;
"Members of the Diamond Crust, show this little charlatans why the Diamond Crust Mercenaries shouldn't be crossed!"
Fao Hai bellowed with strong killing intent towards the Min Hong duo...
Please report us if you find any errors so we can fix it asap!
