Chapter 215: 207 Being disproved on the spot, everyone went crazy【One more update】

Nearby, Yun Shan had not yet realized what had happened.

In his view, neither milk tea nor desserts were important things.

At least, not when compared to life.

The Hidden Alliance never really had any laws or regulations; the place was mixed and chaotic.

It was crowded with hunters, mercenaries, spies, and often ruthless criminals from all over the world.

Generally speaking, it was frowned upon to start a fight in the Central District, this was an unwritten rule among the members of the Hidden Alliance.

But it didn’t include all members.

After all, as long as there was no bloodshed, the management of the Hidden Alliance wouldn’t intervene.

Also, this was a place even IBI wouldn’t touch.

It was said that the Hidden Alliance and IBI had struck a deal.

What this deal was, aside from the leaders of both sides, nobody knew.

Yun Shan saw the girl stop and lowered his voice, “Miss Ying.”

The tall young man was keenly aware and noticed immediately.

“Hey, you–” he also stopped, his lips curled in a smirk that was cold and scornful, “What’s with that look?”

As he stopped, the dozen or so other people also came to a halt and turned around.

Yun Shan became vigilant, standing in front of the girl.

Ying Zijin’s gaze was indifferent, “Pay for it.”

What she referred to was the spilled milk tea and desserts.

The young man seemed to have heard some kind of joke, finding it amusing.

He stepped forward, placing his foot directly onto the dessert and grinding it into the ground.

The flesh of the mango pancake mixed with the dirt, and the milk tea completely overflowed.

Utterly ruined.

The young man withdrew his foot and smiled, “Satisfied now?”

He raised his hand, pointing at the girl with a mocking smile, “We can’t fight in the Central District, but if we were outside, if you dared to look at me with that kind of gaze, your eyes—”

“—you might as well say goodbye to them,” he didn’t get the chance to finish this sentence when a hand clamped onto his shoulder.

No strength was used, just a simple gesture.

“Bang!”

The young man didn’t even have time to react before he was thrown to the ground.

A resounding crash shook the area.

All the clamor stopped in an instant.

“…”

The faces of those who were with the young man lost their smiles bit by bit, their expressions turning grim.

Like a storm was approaching.

Ying Zijin ignored them.

She crouched down and, not wanting to dirty her hand, she deliberately put on a white glove on her right hand.

Then she reached out and picked up the remaining milk tea from the ground, slowly pouring it over the young man’s head.

The people around her were no longer shocked but terrified.@@novelbin@@

Anyone who had been to the Hidden Alliance knew about Dark Gold.

Dark Gold was the name of a mercenary squad.

Mercenaries aren’t quite like hunters; they work in a team.

Whereas hunters are usually lone wolves, no groups of hunters gather together.

Only when taking on bounty missions would a few hunters cooperate, and once the job was done, they would go their separate ways.

The Dark Gold Mercenary Squad was not the most powerful, but definitely the most brutal.

They had a notoriously bad reputation.

So other people on the island would generally avoid them if possible.

As for the rest, they just couldn’t be bothered with the Dark Gold Mercenary Squad.

The Dark Gold Mercenary Squad also knew their limits and would not provoke the real power players.

It had always been Dark Gold bullying others, and no one had stepped on their heads before.

“Newcomer? Just arrived on the island?” The leader was a foreigner, speaking English, “Don’t know the rules? Want to die?”

He walked forward, the gruesome scar on his neck becoming more distinct.

“Miss Ying,” Yun Shan’s expression also grew cold, “Please step back, I’ll handle this.”

They had no conflicts of interest with the Dark Gold Mercenary Squad, so there had been no need to fight.

It didn’t mean they couldn’t handle them.

Ying Zijin raised her hand.

It was a gesture to tell him not to move.

But how could Yun Shan really stand still?

He was assigned to protect Ying Zijin, and if something really happened, even ten lives wouldn’t be enough to make amends.

However, Yun Shan hadn’t expected that he truly wouldn’t make a move.

Because he didn’t have the chance to.

The girl moved.

She simply raised her hand, bent her elbow, leaned forward, and lifted her leg.

Very simple movements, violent and direct.

But impossible to defend against.

“Thump!”

“Thump!”

“Thump!”

On the street, one could only hear the sound of heavy objects hitting the ground.

Intermixed were the crisp sounds of breaking bones.

It all happened within three minutes.

Eighteen mercenaries, all lay on the ground.

One looked more miserable than the next, in so much pain they couldn’t even make a sound.

Meanwhile, the girl beside them hadn’t even broken a sweat.

In fact, halfway through, she even took out a hair tie and put her hair up in a high ponytail because it was getting in the way.

Ying Zijin tossed her gloves into the trash can, indifferent, “Trash.”

“…”

Time seemed to have stopped.

Everyone was going mad.

Yun Shan: “???”

He instinctively took a few steps back, his throat rolling with difficulty.

He rubbed his eyes, then rubbed them again.

His gaze was fixed.

In the Dark Gold Mercenary Squad, there were mostly foreigners.

They might not understand Hua Country’s ancient martial arts, but their combat power was not low, at least enough to tie with an ancient martial artist who had trained for fifteen years.

Otherwise, they wouldn’t have the qualifications to come to the island.

Yet, these were the very people Ying Zijin had single-handedly defeated.

And she made it look effortless.

Ancient martial artist!

Yun Shan’s heart chilled.

This fragile-looking young lady undoubtedly possessed impressive inner strength!

Within the Ancient Martial World, she was definitely a formidable figure.

At her age, just cultivating inner strength was already an outstanding achievement, so how could she possess such formidable skills?

Yun Shan himself was an ancient martial artist, and he knew all too well how difficult it was to become one.

The diminishing numbers of ancient martial artists weren’t only because the 21st century was an era of rapid technological advancement.

There was another very important reason.

It concerned the survival of the entire Ancient Martial World.

That’s why ancient martial artists withdrew from public view and all returned to the Ancient Martial World.

“Alright, stop following me,” Ying Zijin said after buying another dessert, letting her sleeve fall back in place, “Go help him.”

“How can that be okay?” Yun Shan didn’t even think before responding, “It’s too chaotic here; I must follow you.”

No sooner had he finished speaking than he received a “You’re only making things worse by following me” look.

Yun Shan: “…”

He felt a bit disheartened.

Then he recalled what Fu Yunshen had said earlier, “Her orders are as good as mine,” and Yun Shan immediately stopped in his tracks.

To defeat the Dark Gold Mercenary Squad on his own was something he was capable of too, but certainly not with such ease.

Ying Zijin, carrying her bag, paid no mind to the expressions of the people around her and just walked away.

In the Hidden Alliance, it was also taboo to inquire about the identities of other members.

Of course, one could check as they pleased, as long as they were able to find any information.

Yun Shan stood in place for quite a while.

After a long moment, he took out his phone, an old-fashioned black flip phone.

Two seconds later, the call was connected.

Yun Shan’s expression was solemn, and he spoke very sincerely, “Young master, I think I’m the one who needs protection.”

“…”

**

On the other side of the island.

This was a dry cave facing the sea.

Sunlight poured onto the ground like molten gold, and the sea breeze blew in waves.

Fu Yunshen absentmindedly tapped his fingers on the table, nonchalant, “Then let the Dark Gold Mercenary Squad disappear for good.”

After he ended the call, a hint of helplessness withdrew from his peach blossom eyes.

The young man standing by his side was named Yun Wu.

Noticing the mood, he cautiously asked, “Young master, what did Second Brother say?”

Yun Shui, Yun Shan, and Yun Wu were three brothers.

Yun Shui had always been following Fu Yunshen around, but he recently returned, and Yun Shan took his place.

Although Yun Shan and Yun Wu didn’t know what exactly had happened, they were clear it must’ve been a fatal mistake made by Yun Shui.

“He said—” Fu Yunshen lifted his eyelids slightly, “My little friend is really impressive.”

Yun Wu: “???”

“Young master, it’s him,” two other young men brought a middle-aged man into the cave, “He placed that topographical map with our things, trying to frame us.”

Fu Yunshen slowly raised his eyelashes, “Oh?”

“I didn’t succeed!” The middle-aged man was not too panicked at first, but when he saw the man, he immediately panicked, “I didn’t do it on purpose; I was just carrying out a mission, I’m not the mastermind!”

Yun Wu stepped forward, pressing down on his shoulders with a cold sneer, “Stay put.”

With a “click”, cold sweat broke out on the middle-aged man’s forehead.

“I can make a deal with you!” He shouted, “Just let me go and I’ll give you the real topographical map!”

“I can also tell you their objective!”

Upon hearing this sentence, Fu Yunshen’s gaze finally settled on the middle-aged man.

In that moment, all traces of frivolity were gone from him.

An overpowering presence enveloped the space, like the deep sea, suffocating and overwhelming.

He tilted his head slightly.

The shadowy light blurred his features, yet couldn’t obscure his handsome eyes and brows.

In the stillness of the cave, a light laugh fell.

“Do you think, I’m negotiating with you?”
