Chapter 703: Must Not Let Her Enter the City Alive

Since he had accepted her into the United Mercenary Regiment after knowing that she was being hunted by Bailan Alliance, he should be prepared to face the reign of terror that was coming up.

“It’s better this way. We can’t keep on living like this. Those people will find us sooner or later. Instead of living like this, why not get stronger lest when the time comes, it will not be her who troubles the United Mercenary Regiment, but us troubling her instead.”

Feng Tianlan didn’t know that the five people that she had unintentionally saved and the mercenary group that she had joined would become her greatest backup besides Si Mobai.

A gentle breeze was blowing the curtains of the pavilion on water, making the person inside partly visible. One could not see that person clearly but could tell that her slender hands were extremely beautiful.

A figure was kneeling on the ground outside the curtain. “Miss, she is missing.”

“We sent more than ten groups of killers, yet you’re telling me that she is missing?” A delicate yet angry voice was heard from inside.

“The last assassination was ten miles away from the Eagle Nest Mountain Ridge. She has not been seen anywhere ever since.”

They sent more than ten groups of killers, however, only eleven groups managed to find her. Although they were assigned to assassinate her, not a single person from those eleven groups of killers managed to return. Not even a single piece of information was heard from them.

“Good-for-nothings!” A wind blade flew out of the curtain abruptly. The person who was kneeling outside the curtain was struck down as blood flowed all over the place.

A few people appeared immediately to clean up the corpse and the bloodstains. Another person then kneeled at the same spot.

“Find her. We must not let her enter Lin’an City alive.”

That person replied with a ‘yes’, then disappeared on the spot.

The lady inside the curtains raised her slender hand that was holding a teacup and took a gentle sip. Her pretty eyes were filled with indifference. It was impossible to tell she had just killed a person.

Feng Tianlan, Azurite, and He Lianhuang had changed their appearance. With the mercenary regiment escorting them to Dongshu Nation, their journey was smooth. They didn’t come across any assassinations along the way. However, they often heard people asking about her whereabouts.

The closer they were to Lin’an City, the greater the number of people who were looking for her. If they didn’t mention that she was missing, people might take her as a wanted criminal.

They hurried on with their journey and reached Kaiyang City. They still needed to travel for half a month to reach Lin’an City. At that moment, a huge reward notice was posted on the city gates. The portrait on the notice was obviously hers.

“Brother Lan, the person on that poster looks so much like a wanted criminal.” Xiao Xiao raised her head and looked at Feng Tianlan’s portrait. If that wasn’t a reward task, she might think that it was a wanted poster.

Feng Tianlan giggled. “It actually does.”

As she was currently being hunted, she didn’t show people her true appearance. When she came across people who were looking for her, she didn’t dare to reveal her true identity. This was because she didn’t know if people were really looking for her or hunting her down.

The city gates were strictly guarded. There were a lot of inspections. They even inspected the storage rings. Fortunately, all of Feng Tianlan’s stuff was hidden in the Pill Scroll Realm. Besides, she was now dressed as a man, therefore, she was allowed into the city in a short amount of time.

For the past month, she had only revealed her true identity to the United Mercenary Regiment and nobody else. However, there still wasn’t anyone who knew about her whereabouts. No one from the United Mercenary Regiment revealed her identity. She couldn’t help but felt emotional. Just how steadfast were they?

In the middle of the night, fighting noises were heard at the center of Kaiyang City.

It wasn’t far from the inn Feng Tianlan was staying in. Besides, the fighting noises were getting closer and closer to her, as if they were fighting their way to them.

“Big Brother Lan, there is a fight outside,” said Xiao Xiao, sitting up on the edge of her bed while straining her ears.

Feng Tianlan replied with a soft ‘uh-huh’. Just as she had decided to not be a busybody, a familiar voice was heard from outside.
