Chapter 68: Mystic Realm Barrier

It was only after Xia Muqing entered, that she could see the entirety of the barrier. The entire barrier was transparent and there were ripples across the surface. It resembled a cicada’s wings, but everyone couldn’t see what was happening inside the barrier.

It was said that when the barrier opened, a halo would appear. One could be transported to the mystic realm by standing in the halo.

The teleportation spot was very likely to be next to a ferocious beast. This proved how dangerous it was.

But when opportunities arise, people were willing to take risks regardless of the danger.

Xia Muqing first circled the barrier. This barrier covered the entire east side of the Sunset Mountains, except for one area.

She stopped walking, her gaze landing on a small hill.

She was very focused and didn’t notice that a group of people was staring at her in an unfriendly manner.

A burly man walked over. He had bulging muscles and he stared at Xia Muqing angrily. “Hey, what are you looking at!”

Xia Muqing snapped back to reality. It turned out that there was already a group of people camping at the foot of the mountain. It seemed to be a mercenary group.

She didn’t want to cause trouble, so she replied politely, “I’m sorry, I just think that this hill is a little special.”

Seeing her demure behavior, the burly man snorted and ignored her. “We’ve already occupied this area. Go find another place.”

It wasn’t their fault for being so vigilant. In order to enter the mystic realm as soon as possible, everyone had already engaged in many battles to get their hands on the territory before Xia Muqing arrived. All of them were feeling paranoid.

Before Xia Muqing could leave, another group of people walked over and said, “Hu Da, give up your territory. My master has his eyes on it.”

The man looked like a villain and he spoke arrogantly with a group of mercenaries behind him.

The burly man just now, who was also known as Tiger, had a sullen expression. However, he didn’t chase away the man like how he treated Xia Muqing. It was obvious that he was still afraid of that man.

Hu Da said with a stiff expression, “Wang San, we took this territory first, and besides this, there’s no other place. Where do you want us to go?”

Wang San’s attitude was even more arrogant. He laughed loudly with the people behind him, and said, “So what? If you don’t have a territory, then don’t participate. With your Tiger Mercenary Group’s current weak strength, even if you enter the secret realm, you’ll only be sending yourselves to death. It’s better if you obediently join our Sword Wolf Mercenary Group.”

Hu Da was enraged and was about to say something when he was interrupted by an impatient voice.

“Is it not resolved?”

A middle-aged man in silk satin and a gold crown walked over. He had a goatee and a fan in his hand. He thought he looked confident and suave as he waved his fan.

This person didn’t look like he was here to explore. Instead, he looked as though he was here for an outing.

Hu Da looked at that person with hatred. He was the one who injured his brothers and broke his brother’s leg. A mercenary who injured his leg could only wait for death in the future.

Wang San changed his arrogant attitude from before, nodding and bowing as he flattered this man, “Old Master Xiao, these people from the Tiger Mercenary Group really don’t know how to appreciate favors. I already said that you wanted this territory, yet they still resisted.”

Old Master Xiao kicked Wang San and hissed, “You useless thing. If you can’t even handle this matter, what use do I have for you?”

Wang San scrambled to his feet with a grunt, and the smile on his face was even more flattering.

Hu Da looked at the spineless Wang San with contempt, and his gaze enraged him.

Wang San immediately straightened his back and pointed at Hu Da. “Did you see that? Old Master Xiao is already here. Bring your people and scram now.”

Hu Da looked a little conflicted, but Old Master Xiao was a rich man in the Sunset Mountains. They couldn’t afford to offend him.
