Lord Gun gritted his teeth, cold sweat pouring down his forehead. After weighing the pros and cons, he finally spoke, “It’s a bounty. Someone issued a bounty, and the target is you! He wants to know your whereabouts.”
At this moment, Lord Gun’s heart was trembling. What kind of terrifying existence had he provoked?
Twenty powerful individuals who had lit Six Lotus Seeds were gone just like that. It was laughable; he had been so confident before, thinking he had victory in his grasp.
In the distance, at the construction site entrance, Huan Jingjing was hiding in a corner.
When they heard the phoenix cry, she and Bai Duanqian knew that a battle must have occurred. They had both experienced Yun Qianqian’s skills.
By the time the two rushed out, the battle was already over, and the ground was covered with the remains of Mutants.
Huan Jingjing immediately recognized Lord Gun and Ying Kongzhen, and she was incredibly shocked.
However, Lord Gun knew her secret, so Huan Jingjing retreated to the corner to observe quietly. She didn't want Firefly's people to know her secret, so she couldn't have direct contact with Lord Gun and Ying Kongzhen.
At this point, Huan Jingjing finally had a preliminary understanding of Firefly's strength.
Who was that? That was Lord Gun, who could command the wind and rain even in E City, yet he was as vulnerable as an ant here in Firefly. Firefly's power far exceeded her imagination.
“A bounty? What kind of bounty? Who issued it, and how did you know Firefly’s location?”
Yun Qianqian’s brows were tightly furrowed, her cold gaze flashing as she pressed closer.
Lord Gun’s Adam’s apple bobbed, and he struggled to articulate, “It was Yin Jiu, that bastard, who issued the bounty!” As soon as he thought of Yin Jiu, Lord Gun instantly felt as if he had discovered the ‘truth.’
He had wondered why Yin Jiu would post another absurd bounty, and why the news of Yun Qianqian’s whereabouts had come so strangely.
It turned out that all of this was Yin Jiu’s conspiracy. He used the bounty to attract my attention, then revealed Yun Qianqian’s whereabouts, using me to kill her, to eliminate me through Firefly’s hand!
Yin Jiu already knew the horror of this place. Damn it, he had been tricked!
Thinking of this, Lord Gun’s voice instantly became agitated, “It’s Yin Jiu! He deliberately issued your bounty to attract my attention, then leaked your location through his subordinates, luring me into the trap.
He wants to use me to kill you, Miss Yun, you must not fall for it!
You cannot kill me; I was used by Yin Jiu.
Moreover, I am a confidant of the leader of Mo Wen Tian Ya. If you kill me, it will definitely draw retaliation from Mo Wen Tian Ya. Yin Jiu wants to kill two birds with one stone: first, use Firefly’s blade to kill me, the blade, and then use Mo Wen Tian Ya’s hand to destroy Firefly. He is the mastermind!”
When Yun Qianqian heard Yin Jiu’s name, the cold light in her eyes intensified.
Yin Jiu, who had tried to act improperly towards her when the apocalypse first descended, Yun Qianqian hadn’t expected him to still be alive.
However, Lord Gun’s words had an obvious flaw: how could Yin Jiu possibly know Firefly’s location?
Yun Qianqian sneered, “Yin Jiu? I didn’t expect him to still be alive, but how do you prove that all of this is Yin Jiu’s conspiracy? And how would Yin Jiu know I was here?”
Lord Gun’s face was pale, veins bulging on his forehead, as he desperately tried to prove his innocence, “Miss Yun, I swear to God, every word I say is true! As for why Yin Jiu would know your whereabouts, I truly don’t know, but I can be certain that he was the one who leaked the information!
Otherwise, how would I coincidentally know Firefly’s location, and how would I know your name?
Miss Yun, you must believe me, I was used by Yin Jiu! Ying Kongzhen, quickly tell her how you got the news of Miss Yun’s whereabouts!”
Ying Kongzhen’s expression was complex. After a moment of hesitation, he spoke, “When I was home, a shadow threw a stone at my house. A letter was tied to it, and on the letter was your location. It also specifically mentioned that there were many beautiful girls here, and that ten powerful individuals who had lit the Sixth Lotus Seed would be needed to take this place.”
Upon hearing this, Yun Qianqian felt that the incident was somewhat perplexing.
Ten powerful individuals who had lit Six Lotus Seeds wanted to take down Firefly? It was simply a fantasy!
Either it was a trap targeting Lord Gun, or that shadow didn’t know Firefly’s strength either.
However, from Ying Kongzhen’s words, it was impossible to confirm that this was Yin Jiu’s doing.
Yun Qianqian frowned deeply and then asked, “Has anything major happened in E City recently?”
Lord Gun and Ying Kongzhen dared not delay, immediately spilling all the recent happenings in E City like pouring beans, which naturally included the E-rank bounty information.
After listening, Yun Qianqian could confirm that the E-rank bounty was issued by Xiao Nan Ren, but she still had no clue as to why the people of E City would know Firefly’s location.
“Miss Yun, please let me go. I promise I will never set foot in Firefly’s territory again, nor will I leak any information about you.”
Lord Gun’s words were sincere. He truly dared not step into such a terrifying place again.
Beauties were certainly important, but they couldn’t compare to his own life.
Yun Qianqian coldly swept her gaze over Lord Gun, and her sexy cherry lips uttered four words: “Kill them!”
As soon as her voice fell, two small beasts appeared out of thin air in front of Lord Gun and Ying Kongzhen. Under their terrified gazes, two spatial blades slashed across, and blood splattered. Lord Gun and Ying Kongzhen were decapitated without even uttering a scream.
The reason they were terrified was, first, the fear of death, and second, they recognized the origin of the small beasts.
Those were the companion beasts of Variant Zombies, which wasn’t the scary part. What was terrifying was that the two small beasts had three vertical bars on their foreheads!
E City’s understanding of Variant Zombies was far more thorough than H City’s. E City’s records of Variant strength stated that a Variant with two vertical bars could kill a Six Horizontal Bars Zombie, and their companion beasts could kill a Seven Horizontal Bars Zombie.
In fact, their strength might even approach that of an Eight Horizontal Bars Zombie!
What a Variant with three vertical bars meant was not recorded, because no one had ever seen one, or those who had seen one were all dead.
Before they died, they actually saw a Variant companion beast with three vertical bars, and this terrifying existence also obeyed Yun Qianqian’s commands!
Having provoked such terrifying existences, their deaths were not unjust.
Yun Qianqian withdrew her gaze expressionlessly, not caring if E City would retaliate against her.
Firefly was not a soft persimmon. She didn’t believe E City would come out in full force for this Lord Gun.
Yun Qianqian turned and led Firefly’s girls back to the temporary office.
At this time, Huan Jingjing had also returned to the temporary office.
When Yun Qianqian killed Lord Gun, Huan Jingjing had quietly returned to the office. She couldn’t hear what Lord Gun and Yun Qianqian discussed, but upon seeing the deaths of Lord Gun and Ying Kongzhen, the heavy stone in Huan Jingjing’s heart finally dropped. Her secret was finally safe.
Yun Qianqian’s gaze swept over Huan Jingjing, a smile playing on her lips, and a cunning glint flickered in her charming phoenix eyes. One of the things Lord Gun had confessed later was his struggle with Yin Jiu over a special ability woman.
