The sky above the enormous Fortress of Neversetting Sun was blue and clear!

However, clouds and wind roiled under the blue sky as waves rushed into the air.

A mass of people crowded near the gates of the City of Neversetting Sun. The caravans and adventurers that passed by gaped. Normally few people were at the gates, but today they were squeezing together over there. Countless adventurers with swords and magister ran out of the city. It seemed to be a great scene with tens of thousands of people

"What is going on?" At the gates, a youth with a dusty face and a yellow robed old person were startled as they arrived and saw the packed crowds.

"Ah! "Young Master Ba Erbo, you came just in time." Nearby, a mercenary from Flying Aspara Mercenary Company saw the two and ran over excitedly. He said, "There's something to see. A young nine-sword senior magister challenged Crimson Forge's Young Captain Rong Luo. Right over there!"

These two were Ba Erbo and the mercenary company elder who had just escaped from the Forest of Neversetting Sun. They were lucky. Those two had been chased almost to death by a group of spirit beast when Chi's presence suddenly descended. That group of spirit beasts froze where they were and hurriedly prostrated themselves in Chi's direction. These two luckily avoided death.

But they had failed to obtain the Fire Dragon Fruit and didn't dare to immediately return to the city. They roamed around in the forest and only came back as they could not avoid the magic beast siege that was arriving tomorrow. So they returned dispiritedly and encountered this battle when they got to the city gates.

"What? "Rong Luo?" When Rong Luo was mentioned, Ba Erbo's rage erupted. Wasn't it the Crimson Forge Mercenary Company members the ones who had schemed against them?

"Go, let's go see!"

The people flowed in that direction. The three major mercenary companies on the continent had all arrived at the perimeter of the circle. Other than Crimson Forge, the captains of the other two mercenary companies had come to participate in this magic beast siege. When they heard that Rong Luo had been challenged, they wouldn't miss such a good show. Captain Ba Tuke and Captain Lu Feng were standing at the front of their group and met each other.

"Captain Lu Feng, long time no see. The world changes so quickly. Look at how many years it has been and the new generation has replaced the old. Not long in the future, no one will remember us old people. Young Captain Rong Luo broke off his engagement today in public. He really doesn't think anything of you," Ba Tuke said sarcastically.

"Captain Ba Tuke is too complimentary. Young Captain Rong Luo is usually gentle. This old man knows that. If this one's daughter wasn't too spoiled and unreasonable, she would not have attracted his anger." The heavily bearded middle-aged man with a broadsword on his back coldly threw back Ba Tuke's disdain as he glared at Lu Lan who didn't dare to speak. He was the captain of Wolf Pack Mercenary Company, Lu Lan, was a nine-star sacred swordsman. If he took another step, he would enter the ranks of sword master.

The captains of the other large mercenary companies were magisters. Lu Feng was the only one to become the captain of a famous mercenary company as a swordsman. His personality and abilities could be imagined.

Looking at Rong Luo who was full of vigour and the center of attention in the field, Lu Feng shook his head inwardly. He knew long ago that his daughter's personality would cause calamity. He had watched Rong Luo grow up and knew that Rong Luo would not budge on matters of principle. Rong Luo would likely not accept the marriage he and Rong Ji had arranged. Rong Luo would erupt sooner or later, but he had expected the day but he hadn't expected the day to come so soon. This was also good. He would be spared from worry about this matter anymore, but he still felt some pain at losing such a good son-in-law.
