Chapter 205: Ambush?!

The young man was in a daze as Elder Zhong disappeared from the room.

A day soon passed and the black panther had spread his silver wings as he was flying above the clouds, heading towards the Dreamland forest.

The look on Shun Long's face however, was completely serious, without a hint of a single smile.

Turning his head to the side, he looked at Liu Mei who still had her white veil on her face, and with a solemn tone he said

''Mei'er, things will probably turn difficult for a while.

However, it is still under control.''

Less than 5 minutes later, a pair of old men were blocking the way ahead.

Liu Mei's eyes constricted when she saw the golden badge on each of these old men's chests, understanding that they were both SSS-rank mercenaries.

The aura that these 2 old men were emitting, had completely horrified Liu Mei, while the 'Silver-winged panther king' immediately came to a halt.

Seeing the 2 Dao Kings in front of him, the look on Shun Long's face had turned serious, but not a single hint of anxiousness could be seen on his expression.

Of course, these 2 old men were none other than the man with the large earlobes Xue Zhilan, and the long white-haired man Hao Ping.

Xue Zhilan looked at Shun Long and Liu Mei with an evil smile on his face, before his eyes were glued to the peak rank 5 'Silver-winged panther king'.

At the same time, the long-haired Hao Ping looked at Shun Long and Liu Mei, and with a regretful tone he shook his head as he said

''Little brats, if you had stayed in the Heaven's Dome city, under the protection of the 'Alchemists' Guild' we wouldn't have touched you, but you just had to come here.

You should know in your next life, that if you aren't strong enough to possess something, it's better to let it go.''

Xue Zhilan shook his head when he heard this, but just as he was about to speak, a melodious laughter resounded from behind Shun Long and Liu Mei.

Out of nowhere, a wisp of purple smoke appeared in front of Shun Long, before the alluring figure of a red-haired woman started to condense itself.

Shun Long and Liu Mei saw this woman who was smiling at them. She seemed to be in her early 30s, and her red-eyes seemed as if they were looking straight at Shun Long's soul. She had a bewitching smile on her face, while her bright red hair were flowing with the wind.

The color of her hair wasn't dark red, like the princess' of the dark elf race, but it was a bright crimson red that resembled the color of blood.

After smiling brightly at Shun Long, the woman turned her head to look at the 2 old men opposite to her, who were staring at her with serious looks in their eyes, before she said

''Hahaha! It seems that I have come uninvited, but I wonder if there is a spot in your party for me as well.''

The bald Xue Zhilan had an ugly look on his face when he looked at the woman in front of him, as he then said in a threatening tone

''Zhong Biya, what are you doing here? If you dare to mess with my plans, I can guarantee you that your Blood Moon sect won't be able to pay the price!''

Xue Zhilan wasn't afraid of Zhong Biya or the Blood Moon sect in the slightest. He was afraid however, that she would try to ruin his plans.

After all, if the woman in front of him decided to help Shun Long escape, Xue Zhilan had no confidence in catching the black panther, if it flew back to the Heaven's Dome city at full speed.

By then, he would be the one who would be paying the price, for trying to touch an alchemist of the 'Alchemists' Guild'.

After all, although the combat power that the 'Alchemists' Guild' had wasn't superior to the 'Mercenaries' Association's', it was common knowledge that if someone messed with the high-ranking alchemists of the guild, then they and the power behind them would be banned from purchasing pills from the guild any longer.

If that happened, Xue Zhilan was certain, that the Association would hand him over to the 'Alchemists' Guild' to appease their anger.

The red-haired Elder of the Blood Moon sect, looked at Xue Zhilan with a smile on her face, and shaking her head she said

''Of course I wouldn't want to mess with your 'Mercenaries' Association', Elder Xue! However, I have taken a liking to this young man, and want to take him as a personal pill slave.

Since you are going to kill them anyway, you can just allow me to take the young man with me right? You can do whatever you want to the woman behind him though.''

Hao Ping's eyes lit up when he heard this, but Xue Zhilan shook his head without a second thought.

His eyes stared at the red-haired Zhong Biya without a hint of kindness as he responded coldly

''Scram! There is no way that I am letting this brat alive!

Otherwise, if you decided to help him return to the city, wouldn't I and Hao Ping both be doomed then? Even if we don't die, the 'Alchemists' Guild' will certainly skin us alive!

Zhong Biya, don't mention this again! Just scram and I will consider it as if you were never here!''

Hao Ping seemed to have just realized, that he was on the same boat as Xue Zhilan right now. Indeed, if something happened, he would definitely be forced to lose a skin of his meat from the 'Alchemists' Guild!

The look in his eyes instantly turned cold as he stared at Zhong Biya without saying a single word.

Zhong Biya's face had turned red from anger but she still took a deep breath to calm herself down, before she looked at Xue Zhilan and said seriously

''Elder Xue, aren't you afraid that I will tell everything to the 'Alchemists' Guild' myself? I don't care what you want to do with the black panther or the woman behind him, all I want is the alchemist himself. I am willing to swear a Dao oath as well that I won't reveal anything that happened here!''

Xue Zhilan laughed when he heard Zhong Biya's threat, and with a mocking look on his face he said

''Hahahaha! Idiot!

Even if you tell everything to the 'Alchemists' Guild', as long as this brat is killed and there is no proof, who will believe you? Will you allow someone to willingly search through your memories just to incriminate me? Don't make me laugh!

As for your Dao oath, I couldn't care less about this bullshit!

Who doesn't know that you have been stuck at the early rank 2 Dao King realm for the past 6 millenniums? You don't have any hope of advancing anyway!

For the last time, SCRAM!''

Anger had instantly clouded Zhong Biya's mind the moment she heard these words, while the expression on her face had turned extremely ugly.

Not only had she lowered herself and said that she was willing to swear a Dao oath, but Xue Zhilan actually cursed her in response, and refused to give her the slightest bit of face.

An evil smile immediately filled her face, as she suddenly turned around and looked at Shun Long before she said

''You only have 5 seconds!''

Then, without waiting for an answer, her voluptuous figure immediately became a cloud of purple smoke, that moved towards the 2 SSS-rank mercenaries in front of her.

Shun Long's expression didn't change when he saw the scene in front of him, and with the same look on his eyes, he told the black panther to fly towards the east.

He didn't feel any sense of gratitude towards Zhong Biya, as he understood, that this woman had heard everything about him from the rank 2 silver grade alchemist Yao Huang, while her goal just now was to take him as a pill slave.

If Xue Zhilan had agreed to her request, she would have probably joined hands with him just now as she fought against him.

Xue Zhilan looked at the purple smoke around him with a furious expression on his face, before he shouted in a voice that reeked with killing intent

''Zhong Biya, you bitch! I will make you pay!''

Seeing that the black panther was flying towards the east, the bald man turned his head to look at Hao Ping next to him, and with a determined look he said

''Don't let them escape!''
