"It's the Holy Blood Mercenary Corps!" Wu Zhuoqun sighed and said, "I don't know what method Starlight Tower City used to hire the Holy Blood Mercenary Corps. Those experts in the Bone Tempering Realm who were invited by the City Lord dared not come after learning about it. Now, the City Lord and the various clans have no good solutions. They can only stall for time while the City Lord's people head to Domain City to seek reinforcements and negotiate with Starlight Tower City."

"The Holy Blood Mercenary Corps?" Lin Qi listened and couldn't help but be enlightened.

In the entire Mist Mountain Region, besides the three untouchable forces, there are some very formidable ones, among which the next in rank is the Mercenary Alliance.

This Mercenary Alliance is a very loose organization, composed of numerous mercenary groups that make a living in the wilderness. Even the assassination work of many martial artists in the cities is often carried out by these mercenary groups.

Within the Mercenary Alliance, the Holy Blood Mercenary Corps is legendary. Once, they were hired by a City Lord to destroy a branch of the Red Moon Commerce in their city, which incited Red Moon Commerce's fury.

Under the wrath of Red Moon Commerce, the City Lord of that city died the next day, but the Holy Blood Mercenary Corps did not perish. As for the reason, only the Holy Blood Mercenary Corps and Red Moon Commerce know.

It is only known that since then, the Holy Blood Mercenary Corps and Red Moon Commerce have not interfered with each other in the Mist Mountain Region.

Now that Starlight Tower City has hired the Holy Blood Mercenary Corps, it has become extremely difficult for the City Lord to hire other Bone Tempering Realm experts or other mercenary groups.

After all, even if there's money to be made, one must also have a way to spend it. The Holy Blood Mercenary Corps still thrives in the Mist Mountain Region after destroying a branch of the Red Moon Commerce, which says a lot.

As Wu Zhuoqun explained the current situation in Chasing Light City, he also quickly led Lin Qi to a top-level hall in the Martial Artist Association.

When Wu Zhuoqun opened the door, they saw a vast hall about the size of a football field, with hundreds of Bone Tempering Realm experts standing on both sides. Leading each side was a burly, half-white-haired man from the Three-Eyed Race and a completely white-haired Mountain Clan Elder.

Their Qi and Blood were noticeably stronger than the Bone Tempering Realm, and the mere collision of Qi and Blood felt like eggs hitting a rock. Just sitting there silently, they made the high-tier martial artists around them feel suffocated.

"Is this the Blood Coagulation Realm?"

Lin Qi looked at the two and felt their Qi and Blood were like a stream compared to an ocean when compared to Bone Tempering Realm martial artists, completely on another level.

He even suspected that if the two wished, they could render all the Bone Tempering Realm experts present unable to move.

With Lin Qi's arrival, everyone present also turned to look at him.

"So he's your new Deputy City Lord of Chasing Light City." The six-meter-tall Mountain Clan Elder glanced at Lin Qi, "He's young, with potential. Maybe in the future, he could become Chasing Light City's next City Lord. Too bad having an extra Deputy City Lord in Chasing Light City doesn't change anything. You might as well step down gracefully, so you can at least take your accumulated assets with you instead of wasting time and life here."

With the Mountain Clan Elder's words of praise, all the Bone Tempering Realm martial artists from both Chasing Light City and Starlight Tower City looked at Lin Qi with a hint of jealousy and envy.

The Mountain Clan Elder, as the City Lord of Starlight Tower City and a veteran Blood Coagulation Realm expert, didn't know how many geniuses he had seen in his lifetime. To earn such praise from a veteran Blood Coagulation Realm expert, acknowledging the great potential for Lin Qi to achieve the Blood Coagulation Realm in the future, means that his chances of becoming a Blood Coagulation Realm martial artist are indeed very high.

Blood Coagulation Realm!

For Bone Tempering Realm martial artists, it is a lifelong dream.

Unfortunately, even among genius martial artists who graduate from the Genius Training Camp, less than one in a thousand can eventually become Blood Coagulation Realm martial artists.

But for Lin Qi, reaching this realm clearly seems not to be difficult, which naturally incites jealousy and envy.

"Is he the Hall Master Lin?"

Xiong Yuedie in the crowd could not help but observe Lin Qi, who had just walked in, filled with curiosity about him.

She had carefully looked over his information.

After reading, she found that Lin Qi's growth was incredibly fast, from initially mixing in the Abandoned Area to later establishing the Black Obsidian Martial Arts Hall, defeating wild and suburban gangs along the way, with each move making significantly stronger leaps.

Even recently, she had suggested to Elder Xiang whether more support could be given to the Black Obsidian Martial Arts Hall, and within such a short time, Lin Qi had become a Deputy City Lord whom even she looked up to.

This growth speed, even for someone dubbed a prodigy like her, was something she had to admire.

"Good, good, good! Our Human Race finally has hope!" Elder Xiang, looking at Lin Qi, was full of excitement.

Previously in Chasing Light City, the Human Race relied only on Liu Tianzong. Those old fellows were just high-tier Bone Tempering Realm, incapable of influencing the race, and even found it difficult to merely protect the Human Race's limited territory.

But now, Lin Qi not only mastered top-level Bone Tempering Realm extraordinary martial arts but was also recognized by Starlight Tower City's City Lord Hu Lei as having a great chance of becoming a Blood Coagulation Realm expert. Even if the Mountain Clan reclaims Chasing Light City, given time, Lin Qi could completely rebuild a city belonging to the Human Race, restoring the glory they once had.
