Chapter 21: You can't get in without an invitation!
Mu She knelt on the ground, his face pale and his whole body trembling.
"My lord, I truly know I was wrong."
His voice was choked with sobs, "Please spare my life, I'm willing to give you everything the Wolf Head Mercenary Group has to offer."
Looking down at him, Xiao Ze's face was expressionless.
"No need."
He raised his hand and slapped down.
Mu She's eyes widened, his body twitched once and then stopped moving. Blood spread from beneath him, staining the ground red, and he died with a scream.
The mercenaries around were terrified when they saw their leader killed.
They knelt on the ground and kowtowed desperately.
"My lord, spare my life! My lord, spare my life!"
"It was all the idea of Mu and his son; it has nothing to do with us."
"Please have mercy, Your Excellency! We are willing to serve you like a beast of burden."
"I will never do it again, I will never do it again."
Looking at them, Xiao Ze shook his head.
Raise your hand, one palm, two palms, three palms.
A few breaths later, all the mercenaries fell to the ground, none of them able to catch their breath, all of them instantly killed by him.
Withdrawing his hand, Xiao Ze turned and left.
The town entrance returned to silence, with only the lingering stench of blood from the corpses in the air.
In less than an hour, Qingshan Town was in an uproar.
The news of the Wolf Head Mercenary Group's annihilation spread like wildfire throughout every corner of the town.
No matter where people gather, everyone is talking about this.
"Have you heard? The Wolf Head Mercenary Group has been wiped out."
"Who did this? Mu She is a two-star Dou Shi, and no one in Qingshan Town can rival him."
"I don't know, I heard it was a boy, about fifteen or sixteen years old."
"Fifteen or sixteen years old? Impossible! Could someone that age kill Mu She?"
"Everyone at the scene is dead, and nobody knows what happened."
"Who cares who did it? The Wolf Head Mercenary Group has been running rampant in Qingshan Town for so many years, they should have been wiped out long ago."
"That's true. Mu She and his son were no good either. They deserved to die."
People were talking about it, but no one knew who the boy was.
The residence of Little Fairy Doctor.
She sat in the chair, holding a medicinal herb in her hand, but she couldn't calm down.
Xiao Ze's image kept appearing in his mind.
The Wolf Head Mercenary Group was wiped out, and Mu She was dead. She was stunned when she first heard the news.
Then she thought of Xiao Ze; it must be Young Master Xiao Ze.
Putting down the medicinal herbs in her hand, Little Fairy Doctor walked to the window and looked at the sky outside.
Xiao Ze has already left, and I don't know when I'll see him again.
……
After leaving Qingshan Town, Xiao Ze found a deserted place.
Purple Cloud Wings unfurled from behind, their pale purple wings gleaming in the sunlight.
With a light touch of his toes, his body soared into the sky.
The wind whistled in my ears, and the trees and hills beneath my feet rushed past.
After adjusting his direction, Xiao Ze flew towards the capital.
With the Purple Cloud Wings, the travel speed is many times faster than walking, and at this speed, it will take about a day to reach the capital.
One day later.
The capital city of the Gama Empire was far more prosperous than Utan City.
The city walls are tall, the streets are wide and there are shops, and among the people coming and going there are many powerful people at the Douling level.
After landing outside the city, Xiao Ze put away his Purple Cloud Wings.
As he entered the city gate, he followed the flow of people toward the Mittel auction house.
I had only taken a few steps when a voice suddenly rang in my mind.
[Detected that Xiao Yan is cultivating a Xuan-rank Dou Technique, Eight Extremes Collapse.]
The system will provide random feedback.
[Feedback is being generated, please wait.]
Xiao Ze stopped and looked at the system notification.
The Eight Extremes Collapse is a powerful Xuan-level fighting technique. Xiao Yan's strength should increase further after practicing this technique.
[Feedback generated: Host's Alchemist level has been raised to Rank 8.]
[The host can disregard their current strength and refine pills of all grades from eighth to lower.]
Upon seeing the text on the system panel, Xiao Ze was completely stunned.
He is now an eighth-grade alchemist. He was previously a sixth-grade alchemist, but he has now been promoted directly to the eighth grade.
What is the concept of an eighth-grade alchemist?
There are very few like that in the entire Dou Qi Continent, and even those experts who stand at the pinnacle of alchemy are only at the eighth or ninth rank.
He, at fifteen years old, was an eighth-grade alchemist.
Taking a deep breath, Xiao Ze calmed himself down, but he couldn't suppress the excitement in his heart.
An eighth-grade alchemist can refine pills of all grades from eighth grade to below, regardless of his current strength. This means that he does not need to reach the level of Dou Zun or Dou Sheng to refine eighth-grade pills.
This feedback is amazing.
Pulling himself out of his thoughts, Xiao Ze continued walking towards the Mittel Auction House.
Mittel Auction House, Beijing Headquarters.
Standing at the door, Xiao Ze looked up.
The words "Mitter Auction House" stood out prominently in the sunlight.
The gate was wide, about four or five meters, and two guards stood at the entrance, both of whom were at the Dou Ling level.
He walked toward the gate, but a guard stopped him as soon as he reached the entrance.
"Stop right there, do you have an invitation?"
With a slight twitch of his brow, Xiao Ze asked, "What invitation?"
"Today's auction is a special session; entry is not permitted without an invitation from the Mittel family."
"I'm here to find someone."
"Who should I look for?"
"Mittelvine Mountain."
The guard looked Xiao Ze up and down, a hint of disdain in his eyes.
"Our clan leader isn't in the capital. Come back another day. Besides, given our clan leader's status, why would he possibly see you?"
"I told you, I came to see Fujiyama."
"I already said, you can't enter without an invitation. Rules are rules, don't waste your breath arguing with me. I'm not letting you in."
The guard's tone was somewhat impatient. "Don't you understand?"
Another guard came over and looked at Xiao Ze.
"Kid, this isn't a place for you. If you know what's good for you, get out of here."
With a slight frown, Xiao Ze said, "I'll say it again, move aside."
The two guards exchanged a glance, a mocking smile on their faces.
"Oh, you're pretty arrogant."
The first guard said, "What do you think this place is? The Mittel Auction House isn't a place for a country bumpkin like you to cause trouble."
"That's right, get out of here and stop getting in the way."
Looking at them, Xiao Ze remained calm.
Just as he was about to speak, a voice came from inside.
"What is it?"
An old man emerged from the auction house, dressed in a gray robe and with a dignified expression.
The two guards bowed deeply upon seeing the old man.
"Steward, this lad is trying to barge in without an invitation."
The old man glanced at Xiao Ze and frowned slightly.
"Young man, today's auction is only open to distinguished guests with invitations."
He said, "If you don't have an invitation, please go back."
As Xiao Ze was about to speak, a familiar voice came from behind him.
"Young friend Xiao Ze?"
