The Rising Phoenix-Chapter 134: The Mercenaries, Chang Jianjun

Bai Xifeng and her subordinates travelled through the outer part of Sophia Mountain. They walked, practised and fought various beasts around the area.

Then they met a group of mercenaries. It seemed they were here to complete the quest that they had been hired for.

The mercenaries had been attacked by a group of beasts. Bai Xifeng and her subordinates appeared and fought off the beasts.

The leader of the mercenaries, Chang Jianjun had been injured from their previous battles. That was why their fighting power decreased making they could display their power.

Bai Xifeng and her subordinates had saved them by being killed by the beasts. So, they were very grateful to Bai Xifeng.

"You really saved my life, Young Master Long." Chang Jianjun thanked Bai Xifeng once again.

"I am just doing what other people might do." Bai Xifeng just smiled.

Chang Jianjun looked at the food that Bai Xifeng and her people served him and his group made Chang Jianjun wonder about Bai Xifeng’s identity.

"May I ask you why Young Master Long is here in Sophia Mountain?" Chang Jianjun asked.

"I am travelling to Xianying City." Bai Xifeng asked.

"Oh, what a surprise. Not many people use this route." Chang Jianjun was surprised.

"Well, we are going to leave this mountain soon or later. We just came here because we want to increase our combat fighting. Not to mention, there are a lot of herbs that we can pick up." Bai Xifeng just grinned.

"Oh, Young Master Long must be a pharmacist or alchemist." Chang Jianjun said. Then he realized something. "What am I talking about? You are a pharmacist. You did heal me just now." He laughed.

"Well, I am both." Bai Xifeng said.

"Wow, impressive." Chang Jianjun said. "May I know what is your age?"

"I am 14 years old." Bai Xifeng told him her true age.

"Oh... I thought you were 16 years old and just had a small build. But you are just 14 years old. You must be talented from a young age." Chang Jianjun commented.

Then, he realized that he had been rude toward Bai Xifeng. Not many men liked people talking about themselves like that. "Young Master Long, I apologize for your rudeness."

Bai Xifeng just laughed it off. "Don’t worry. I don’t care much about that. I already have different images of you when we first met."

"Different images?" Chang Jianjun asked.

"Hmm... I always thought that a mercenary is a kind of rude person, who likes to just talk without thinking." Bai Xifeng said.

The anime that she used to watch always portrayed that kind of mercenary.

Chang Jianjun also laughed. "Yeah... Well, they were not wrong."

"Our leader is like that because he is actually from the noble family." One of the mercenaries group interrupted the conversation.

"Our leader ran away because he hates being a noble. Too much nusaince he said." Another one was added.

"Shut up!" Chang Jianjuan shouted at his teammates.

Seeing Chang Jianjuan did not get angry with his teammates, meaning he did not care much about being exposed to be noble by others.

"I understand your family." Bai Xifeng nodded.

"Oh, Young Master Long, are you a noble as well?" The mercenary asked.

"Hmm... You can say so." Bai Xifeng nodded.

"What are you going to do at Xianying City?" Chang Jianjun asked.

"I am going to see my father and brother." Bai Xifeng said.

"Are you from Xianying City?" Chang Jianjun asked.

"No. My father and brother are working there."Bai Xifeng stated.

"I see. I also come from Xianying City. But I left the city a long time ago." Chang Jianjun said.

"We are talking too much that we forget to eat." Bai Xifeng said.

They had dinner and retreated to rest. Since the mercenaries were here, Bai Xifeng did not want to use the array, afraid it might attract a lot of attention.

She told Yu Nianzu to guard them. They were changed to another person after two hours. Chang Jianjun’s group also had someone to be a guard.

Bai Xifeng jumped into a tree and leaned into their truck.

"Young Master Bai, are you going to rest like that?" Chang Jianjun asked.

"Hmm... It is much better for me." Bai Xifeng nodded.

The night went deep. Bai Xifeng was sleeping when suddenly Baishe suddenly called her name several times.

"Hmm... What?" Bai Xifeng asked.

"There are a group of beasts not far from here. They already know you people are here. They are waiting for their leader’s order to attack too. It seems no one below realizes the situation." Baishe said.

"What? A group of beasts? How many of them? How strong they are?" Bai Xifeng asked.

"Probably 50 Nightmare Wolfs. Most of them were soldiers rank. 10 of them are commander rank. One of them is the General rank. He must be the leader." Baishe stated.

"Wow. That many?" Bai Xifeng was surprised.

They only had around 20 people. It would be a tough one.

"Should we run away?" Bai Xifeng asked Baishe.

"I don’t think it is possible. You are being surrounded." Baishe stated.

The situation was worse. So, the only way to stay alive was to fight all of the beasts.

Bai Xifeng jumped down. It was Yu Xiaohui’s turn to be a watcher. So, she noticed her master wake up.

"Go and wake up others. We have beasts coming to attack us." Bai Xifeng announced.

"What?" Yu Nianzu was surpised.

The man from Chang Jianjun’s group also heard that. "Young Master Long, are you telling the truth?"

"Yes. Their side has about 50 beasts. Nightmare Wolfs." Bai Xifeng dropped another bomb.

"And we can not run away since they already surrounded the area." Bai Xifeng said more.

"I will wake up the leader." The man rushed to wake Chang Jianjun and the others.

Yu Xiaohui also went to wake her siblings and Xiao Li.

Chang Jianjun who heard the situation from his men quickly rushed to Bai Xifeng’s side.

"Young Master Long, is it true?" Chang Jianjun said.

"Yes. You can check by yourself." Bai Xifeng stated.

Chang Jianjun used his sense. His sense picked up the information right now. It was indeed a group of Nightmare Wolfs. One of them was a general rank beast. It had strength as strong as a High-Level Congealing Channels cultivator.

"We can not run away. The only way is to fight against them." Chang Jianjun stated.

"Yes." Bai Xifeng nodded.

"Everyone, we are going to fight." Chang Jianjun shouted.

"Yes." Everyone shouted back.

"They are coming." Bai Xifeng stated.

Everyone was in a ready position to fight. As Bai Xifeng said, the Nightmare Wolfs were coming. And they came in many directions.

The fight started. Bai Xifeng started to fight too. She glanced at her subordinates. It seemed they were to fight the beasts.

Yu Nianzu and Yu Xiaoqing were the long-range fighters while Xiao Li and Yu Xiaohui were the close-range fighter. They applied their skill into their weapon.

However, they were the High Level Gathering Qi rank. They needed to put more effort on killing one Nightmare Wolf. It would not be long until they drained their Qi.

Bai Xifeng approached her subordinates. She took out the bottles.

"When you don’t have any Qi, drink this." Bai Xifeng said.

Her subordinates took the bottle and thanked Bai Xifeng. Bai Xifeng continued to fight again. This time, it was a commander rank, Nightmare Wolf.

As Baishe explained before, the commander rank beast and High-Level Establishing Foundation cultivator were the same but the beasts were much more strong. But because of Bai Xifeng’s body, their powers were at the same level.

Bai Xifeng killed the commander rank, Nightmare Wolf. Then she saw a member of the mercenaries group was about to be killed by the beast, she rushed over.

The man had drained his Qi, so, he could not fight anymore. He thought it was over but he was saved.

"Thank you, Young Master Long." The man thanked Bai Xifeng.

"Here, drink this." Bai Xifeng gave a bottle to the man.

The man did not hesitate to drink this. Then he was surprised because he suddenly could feel the Qi flow entering his body. He could fight again.

"Thank you, Young Master Long." The man thanked Bai Xifeng once again.

Bai Xifeng began to check the surroundings to see whether others needed the elixir.
