"Impossible…" Yan Yun'er's face turned pale, a look of disbelief across her face.

However, her eyes quickly darted around, scanning Lin Yun and his companions.

"These people are so fast, they don't seem ordinary. Who was that young voice that spoke earlier…"

Thought Yan Yun'er to herself.

Soon, her gaze settled on Lin Yun. Among the group, he was quite conspicuous.

"So young...so poised...so handsome...he seems to be the leader of this group...is he the one?" With her eyes fixed on Lin Yun's handsome face, Yan Yun'er felt a sense of shock in her heart.

Even if this young man was not the one who had spoken earlier, his commanding presence leading his group with a murderous air was still overwhelmingly assertive.

This young man, he was not yet thirty years old, right?

No, perhaps not even twenty-five...no, it seemed he was not even as old as her Senior Brother, who was only twenty-three. If that was the case, he was only a year or two older than her. Yan Yun'er's heart raced.

As Lin Yun's group slowly advanced, the people from the Mie family rapidly died in their path.

Angrily yelling amid screams of fear, they fell onto the bloody path.

The group led by Lin Yun looked like Grim Reapers, like demonic entities, stepping on fresh blood, walking on skeletons; harvesting lives one by one.

"Lin Yun! The young man leading them is Lin Yun!"

Identified by a high-ranking member of the Mie family who was near Wei Donglai and the Grandmasters, and a voice filled with rage echoed.

Those who died were their best soldiers from the Mie family, their kin. Their quick deaths represented a swift weakening of the Mie family, causing the man's heart to ache.

Lin Yun, the only known owner of Qingyun Company and also the current leader of these enemies, was held accountable for the Mie family's losses. Even if Lin Yun wasn't directly responsible, he was undeniably linked. Now, with his people killing so many from the Mie family, how could he not grind his teeth in fury?

Lin Yun? His name sounds like Lin Yun? Yan Yun'er silently echoed.

"That young man is Lin Yun?" There were already several Grandmasters who had suspected Lin Yun as the leader of their enemies. At this moment, they spoke with grave expressions, their earlier complacency gone.

They had recognized the strength of the nine people by Lin Yun's side.

"Grandmasters! All nine by Lin Yun's side are in the realm of the Grandmaster!" said a Grandmaster with a grave expression, emphasizing each word.

In Huaxia, the power and influence of each Grandmaster were not to be underestimated.

Seeing nine Grandmasters on the opponent's side, how could anyone not be shocked?

It was not just about having nine Grandmasters... more importantly, why did they have so many Grandmasters?

Most forces simply couldn't cultivate that many Grandmasters.

At this moment, he regretted getting involved in this matter. The enemy's power was clearly extraordinary. As a mere Grandmaster, was it wise for him to interfere? Even if they could kill all nine Grandmasters here.

Could they guarantee this force did not have other strong Grandmasters? And those other Grandmasters wouldn't retaliate against him?

He was just a common Grandmaster. If the other Grandmasters from this force sought to avenge their companions, he might not be able to withstand them.

Compared to this, the Mie family's reward, one billion Huaxia currency, felt meaningless.

"What? Nine Grandmasters?"

Upon hearing the grim-faced words of the Grandmaster, the Mie family leader, the higher-ups of the Mie family, the cohort of Dark Strength powerhouses behind the Grandmasters, as well as the two disciples of Wei Donglai, were all taken aback.

"Honorable Grandmasters, we the Mie family, are willing to double your remuneration. Please help our Mie family navigate this crisis!" Upon making this decision, the Mie family leader swiftly turned towards Wei Donglai and the other Grandmasters and hastily pleaded.

At the same time, the Mie family leader felt a sense of relief. Fortunately, they had invited several Grandmasters for the occasion, which included top powerhouses like Wei Donglai. Wei Donglai, being a respected and high-ranking powerhouse, shouldn't go back on accepted words.

As long as Wei Donglai was there, he was like a pillar of support, and the other Grandmasters should not refract as well.

So, with seven Grandmasters on their side, plus the strength of their military forces in the Mie family, as well as some arrangements… they could potentially take on the opponents' strength.

However, to prevent the seven Grandmasters from retreating, and to avoid them not giving their full capacity when the time came, he voluntarily doubled the remuneration.

In reality, as he said these words, he had ulterior motives stirring in his heart.

The opposition had nine Grandmasters and so much firepower, while they only had seven. If they really got into a fight... would none of their side's Grandmasters be lost?

If a Grandmaster did fall, wouldn't the compensation the Mie family had to pay to the opposition be lessened?

Of course, this thought only passed through his mind and wouldn't dare to vocalize it. Whether or not the Mie family would follow through on this later was also unknown.

After all, if they treat the fallen Grandmasters this way, the reputation of the Mie family would be ruined. In the future when they encounter such matters again, who would be willing to assist the Mie family?

Some people in the martial arts circles might even secretly target the Mie family members out of spite.

"Double the compensation?"

Upon hearing these words from the Mie family leader, the Grandmasters were struck with a thought.

The initial remuneration had already attracted them, but this more than piqued their interest.

The statement Wei Donglai made earlier to the Mie family leader was indeed fitting for these Grandmasters. Most of them were already of considerable age, coupled with the years of martial arts practice and their detachment from contemporary society.

Most of them do not possess substantial means of income. Martial arts is an expensive pursuit, especially when disciples and younger generations wish to learn; this demands a continuous supply of wealth.

In ancient times, they could rob the rich to aid the poor. Nowadays, with the rule of law and the rise of bank cards and passwords, making money quickly without blatantly breaking the law is challenging.

However, authorities mostly monitor individuals of their stature, and if they did dare to break the law, the best they could hope for would be leaving Huaxia unscathed, the worst, they've heard of prison in Huaxia.

This time, they were working for the Mie family, who had strong influence with the officials; they wouldn't need to fear any problems from that end. A month's worth of work for 1 billion in income, was quite a reward.

Even if they had to fight, it's worth a risk.

But the risk this time is a bit unforeseen… Continue reading at empire

However, now, a remuneration of 2 billion is also quite substantial.

Wang Zhenhai, a Grandmaster in the Middle Realm, was also struck with a thought.

His remuneration was 3 billion; doubling it would equal 6 billion, which was pretty generous income.

"If it is doubled... my master's reward... won't it reach 10 billion?" The most excited one was Zhong Nan, whose pale face had turned slightly rosy.

His heart was pounding with excitement.

10 billion, such a vast number, could surpass the wealth of many small-town tycoons. The Baji Sect had numerous incomes, but even the total profits of several industries could not reach this amount over many years.

If his master received such a hefty reward and invested a large amount of resources on him and his martial sister, his progress in martial arts would be extremely rapid.
