On their way to Sunset Mountain, the members of the Tiger Mercenary Team whipped their red flood dragon horses which were famous for their incomparable speed and kept riding day and night without rest.
Eight days later, they arrived at the foot of a lofty mountain chain.
"Guys, this is the Sunset Mountain. Our mission officially starts the moment we enter the mountain.
Diabolic beasts of level seven or level eight are abundant in the mountains. But once in while a diabolic beast of level nine or ten may show up in front of you.
Keep in mind the rules. You are not allowed to act alone. I'm the commander this time, so everything you do should be as per my order. Thus, we can maximize our gains.
After we complete our mission and return to the city, you will get a percentage of what we have gained from here.
| don't want to emphasize on this but | have to inform you all that if someone dares to disobey my orders and messes up this mission, I'll punish him severely. My actions will be regardless of the fellowship that has formed among us during the days that we have spent together!" The assistant team leader of Tiger Mercenary Team, who was in charge of the mission warned them all. Next, he whipped his horse and was the first one to rush into the Sunset Mountain.
All the other cultivators in the team struck their horses with their lashes and followed him into the forest. So did Austin.
But once he had entered the Sunset Mountain, he felt it was pointless to stay with the team. He wasn't there to complete smission. He was on his own mission.
His purpose of going to the Sunset Mountain was to practice the Beast Energy-extracting Skill. So he decided to seek an appropriate chance and leave the team.
He didn't care about what the assistant team leader had said at all regarding the punishment if anyone disobeyed his orders. He wasn't going to listen to sleader's instructions! During the first few days, the cultivators kept hanging around in the outer range of the Sunset Mountain. All the diabolic beasts they met were at level seven. They were able to slay a large number of level seven diabolic beasts easily and took their beast cores as well as other valuable parts like blood, flesh, bones and tendons.

The level seven diabolic beasts were abundantly present, so most of the cultivators would be able to make small profits which could be accumulated into a big one.
All the cultivators in the team had brought their Space Rings which could provide them enough space to store their gains. So, they were filled with a craze to kill as many level seven diabolic beasts as possible.
Austin followed the team quietly. Sometimes he also attacked and killed one or two diabolic beasts. Most of the time, he disguised his real strength by suppressing his cultivation base at the medium stage of Sky Realm.
He had made up his mind that when the team got into the living area of level eight or nine diabolic beasts, he would leave the team. He would kill the high-level diabolic beasts alone, to practice the Beast Energy-extracting Skill.
As they kept moving into the forest, they encountered other mercenary teams and small groups of independent cultivators. Most of them shared the sgoal with the Tiger Mercenary Team, which was to kill the diabolic beasts for cultivation resources.
But sof them just cthere for rare herbs.
There were also syoung cultivators practicing their martial art skills. They wanted to acquire real fighting experience. Their plan was to make progress in their cultivation by fighting the diabolic beasts.
The Sunset Mountain in the Heavenly Dragon Holy Kingdom was similar to the Grand Desolation Mountain in the Violet Orchid Empire. Both of them provided opportunity to numerous cultivators as they were filled with places where the cultivators could explore rare treasures and practice their skills.
One day, the Tiger Mercenary Team cacross its old rival, the Eagle Mercenary Team! The two teams stared at each other angrily. There was an atmosphere of great hostility and tension between them.
"Ha-ha. The world is so small. | never imagined that | would meet you here, Walter." It was Mack, who was leading the Eagle Mercenary Team. He was also one of the assistant team leaders of the Eagle Mercenary Team and his cultivation base was at the medium stage of the Imperial Realm.
"Young man, do keep praying for good luck.
Don't get killed in the Sunset Mountain." Mack warned as he stared at Austin.
After saying that, he led the Eagle Mercenary Team in another direction.
The truth was that the Eagle Mercenary Team was more powerful than the Tiger Mercenary Team.
Mack had hesitated about leaving. He wanted to kill all the members of the Tiger Mercenary Team right away, but if he did that the Eagle Mercenary Team would also experience losses. It wasn't wise to get into an unnecessary fight.
The main reason that the Eagle Mercenary Team had cto the Sunset Mountain was to kill the diabolic beasts. If they killed the Tiger Mercenary Team at the expense of their own cultivators, they might not finish their mission successfully.
Keeping that in mind, Mack suppressed his killing intent and left.
But in his mind, he had every intention to take up a chance to teach the members of the Tiger Mercenary Team a lesson. Killing all of them at once, would be the best one! After the Eagle Mercenary Team had left, Walter heaved a sigh of relief. He had caught the murderous intent in Mack's eyes, and if Mack had started a fight, the Tiger Mercenary Team would have been the underdogs. They would face a disaster and lose many lives. Fortunately, Mack had gone away.
Half a day later, Walter finally led the Tiger Mercenary Team into the living area of level eight diabolic beasts. They began slaughtering right away.
It was the moment Austin had been waiting for. He could now leave the team.
Just when he was about to move away from the team, he heard a woman's voice.
It seemed to cfrom far off.
All the members of the Tiger Mercenary Team were at Sky Realm, so they released their spiritual sense. They found that there was a group of women in a valley nearby.
The moving wind brought the fragrance of perfand cosmetics from afar to their noses.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏm"They seem to be the members of Iron Lady Mercenary Team. Probably they too chere to kill diabolic beasts for cultivation resources. They have the sgoal as we do." An official member of Tiger Mercenary Team who was standing behind Austin said excitedly and grinned. Instantly, he ran his tongue over his dry lips. His lustful eyes lit up.
"Ahem! Although the women of the Iron Lady Mercenary Team have a hot temper, they are sensuous and beautiful women. If we can capture those women, we can do anything with them. What a great enjoyment it will be!" When the cultivators realized that the women were members of the Iron Lady Mercenary Team, they got talking about women.
Their eyes were filled with sexual desires and passion. They made loud lewd noises.
Obscene and dirty words cout of their mouths continuously. They all seemed to crave for women.
Sof them started to tell dirty jokes, while sof them even made up obscene songs and sang them aloud.
The songs were arduous, with lyrics like, "lettouch you in eighteen different ways", "sleep in my arms", and "have sex with me." The men sang aloud such songs continuously and unashamedly.
The forest echoed by those sounds.
The new team members were also filled with excitement. Their interests and desires were also aroused. The fire of their sexual desires flared. All of them started to hum and joined to sing the songs with their hoarse voice. They were like a pack of lustful wolves.
"Well guys, I've heard that they are good at fighting and that they are gorgeous. Why don't we go there and join them? Maybe we'll win their hearts and in this wild mountain, we can play a lot of things and have a lot of fun.
| bet, they are also craving for sfun just like us!" An official member of Tiger Mercenary Team said naughtily.
The other members started nodding their heads and laughed in agreement.
Walter, the assistant leader of the Tiger Mercenary Team, seemed to be used to this scene. He didn't say anything to stop them.
Instead, he just smiled and let his subordinates go on with this improper thing.
Austin was appalled by the behavior of the team and its leader.
It seemed that their morality had dropped to zero after being a mercenary for a long time. They just did things at will, and for temporary pleasure. Their actions were regardless of the dire consequences their improper behaviors might cause.
