Mercenary Harem in Murim Novel

When he was about to finish his story, the girl from Wudang Sect, Rong-Yue, began to recognize who they were talking to.

"Kim Min-Gu! They... Isn\'t he on the wanted list in our sect? The Hallowed Insect Mercenary Leader, Leo!" She whispered loudly, her eyes widening with realization.

The story of how Leo annihilated the Wudang Sect force was told to all disciples to sow the seeds of hate and discord.

While it wasn\'t Leo\'s fault for destroying their force, they were just unlucky that they accidentally in his escape route, they thought that he had done it intentionally.

"What? No, no. Leader is not the person from the rumor. He is not a bad guy."

"He is, and he\'s also an Evil Cultivator!"

Kim Min-Gu tried to explain it to Rong-Yue, but she didn\'t believe it.

"He also killed the Peng Clan Young Lady as well as Tang Clan\'s Young Masters! How could that kind of guy not be evil?!"

Hearing that, Astrid twitched slightly. She was dead? What a pity.

"It was a misunderstanding! I\'ll explain it later!"

"No, no, no! We should arrest him and take him back to the Sect for questioning!"

Rong-Yue didn\'t want to listen to Kim Min-Gu\'s explanation, and she was determined to do what was right.

While the two disciples were arguing, Leo was lost in his thoughts. He didn\'t like the situation at all. It seemed that the Wudang Sect had found something and sent a group of spies to investigate.

But, what was more concerning was the fact that they found the Valley of Death. This place was hidden from the public, and it was protected by the Supreme Evil\'s followers. No one should be able to find or even know their information.

And from Kim Min-Gu\'s story, they had received a sect mission to investigate an evil cult hiding in the valley.

This meant that they at least had information about this place and what lay here. The question was...

\'Why did they send such young disciples?\'

Everyone in the Murim knew that Supreme Evil\'s Follower and their cult was a dangerous and unpredictable bunch. They didn\'t care about their own lives, and they would do anything to achieve their goal to revive the Supreme Evil.

Leo didn\'t like the situation at all. It wasn\'t a coincidence that the two disciples, and the missing two, were here. There was someone in the Wudang Sect... Someone or a group that had planned this.

While he didn\'t know why, it seemed like the Wudang Sect had a problem within them. The same problem that plagued Tang Clan and Poison Sect before.

"Enough."

Leo\'s voice was loud and clear, and everyone turned their attention toward him.

"Kim Min-Gu, right? You can return to your sect and tell them about the situation. We will deal with the problem. Don\'t worry, no one will harm you or your friends if they are still alive. I will collect the payment on a later date."

Kim Min-Gu looked at him, and a relieved expression appeared on his face. He couldn\'t thank Leo enough for his kindness and understanding.

"Thank you, Leader. I\'ll pay the price when I have the money."

"That\'s fine. Go back now. I don\'t think you have any more business with us."

"Yes. Thank you again, Leader."

Kim Min-Gu bowed his head and ran away with Rong-Yue, who showed disapproval on her face. She still wanted to catch Leo and brought him back to the Sect.

Looking at her, Leo sighed and muttered.

"Is that girl crazy?"

Surely, his strength was also shared by the higher-ups of the Wudang Sect. A person who managed to destroy an entire army of their Sect surely wasn\'t someone who could be defeated by some low-level disciples who only trained martial arts for a few months.

"Maybe it\'s the Wudang Sect\'s way to teach their disciples to be reckless." Astrid unexpectedly commented.

Both Leo and Anya looked at her in surprise, not expecting such a response.

"Wow, Peng Peng. You\'ve really grown!"

"Yes, yes. You\'ve matured a lot."

"What are you guys saying? I\'m just speaking my mind." Astrid frowned and pouted her lips. She realized that they mocked her. "Also, stop calling me Peng Peng! It\'s not my name anymore, and I don\'t like it!"

"Oh, sorry. Force of habit." Anya apologized and grinned.

While the three were chatting, a figure was lurking in the shadows. Its eyes were red, and its body was covered in a black and tattered cloak.

The figure looked at Leo and the group, its eyes glowing with a dark and sinister light.

It licked its lips, turned around, and walked to the direction of the valley. No footsteps could be heard, and it seemed to disappear into thin air.

No one realized that this figure was there all the time, spying and waiting for the perfect opportunity.

However, this figure also didn\'t realize it. It didn\'t notice the blonde girl looking at it straight into the eyes, her gaze cold and her lips curled into a small smile.

The spy was too confident that it wouldn\'t be found out by anyone. Too bad that the one it spied on was an assassin trained to counter any spies, living in the darkness and the shadow.

While the spy didn\'t know this, the girl was sure to let them know.

Her figure blended with the surroundings as she began to follow the hooded figure into the valley, tracing every step it took to ensure that she didn\'t step into any traps.

Even when she walked right behind the spy, it didn\'t realize her presence and kept walking toward the valley.

Meanwhile, Leo and Astrid were preparing to enter the valley.

"I didn\'t realize that someone was spying on us." The girl commented, her fists clenched.

"It\'s okay, Astrid. You will be able to do that once you undergo the Nanites surgery. For now, just focus on reaching 5 Stars and help Anya to unlock her Qi. I believe that the two of you will be able to form a strong team together."

"Yes, Leader. I\'ll do our best."

The two of them walked through the forest, their footsteps soft and their presence hidden. They followed the two who went to the valley first while listening to Anya\'s report that came in a morse code. Leo\'s Main Cube translated it automatically and showed the information on his HUD.

"The Valley of Death is a dark and sinister place. There is only one entrance available, and it\'s guarded by a mechanism that only allows those who have a certain kind of energy or have a special token to enter. The interior is dark and damp, and there is a strong and foul smell that emanates from the center."

Leo nodded his head and read the report carefully. This was what Jack had reported earlier. However, there was a detail he didn\'t write down.

"We don\'t know the exact way to enter, that\'s why I let the spy lead us to the entrance. From there, we can sneak in and ambush them."

Right now, the said spy was walking confidently and leading them toward the entrance. The robed man was walking faster than before, and they could sense his excitement. When he arrived at the entrance, he muttered something and the large boulder moved slightly, revealing a tunnel.

At that moment, Anya revealed herself and sliced the robed figure\'s neck cleanly with her clawed hands.

"Gotcha."

Her eyes were cold, and she kicked the corpse away, making sure that the head rolled on the ground and separated from the body.

"Nice work, Anya." Leo praised and patted her head, showing his approval. "Let\'s enter the valley. It\'s time for us to do some cleaning."

Anya smiled and nodded her head.

"Yes, Leader. Hehehe."

With that, the three of them entered the tunnel, their hearts filled with determination and their bodies ready for a fight.

They were not going to let the cult continue their evil deed and threaten the world with their power. At least Leo wouldn\'t.

His mind was set, and he was going to do anything he could to bring justice to the world.

\'Justice. Ha. I just don\'t want him to touch my territory and stop the Mercenary Union\'s growth.\'

While he had a noble goal in his heart, his main priority was not the world\'s peace but his own. The other\'s peace could just burn in hell as long as it didn\'t affect him.n/ô/vel/b//jn dot c//om

With that, the group continued their way. Candles on the wall flickered slightly, casting shadows everywhere. The narrow path was filled with mold and dampness, and the smell was overwhelming.

\'There is no way Wudang Sect\'s disciples can enter this place alone.\'

His suspicion was confirmed, and he knew that something was up.

After walking for a while, the tunnel led them to a small room with a stair descending deeper underground.

"The stench of blood is so thick." Anya pinched her nose and shook her head. "Leader... Let\'s be careful. I have a bad feeling."

Leo nodded his head and unsheathed his photon handgun. His eyes glowed slightly, and his expression was serious.

"Let\'s go. Don\'t hesitate to attack when the time comes."

Astrid nodded and unsheathed her sword. She gulped nervously and gripped her weapon tightly.

The three of them descended the stairs and entered a chamber filled with candles. When they arrived, Leo couldn\'t help but frown in disgust.
