However, the hunchbacked old man had learned about the development momentum of the Mercenary Guild some time ago, and he knew very well in his heart that when the development of the Mercenary Guild reached saturation in the barren land of the Northwest Continent, he would definitely set his sights on the northern region of Zhongzhou, which was very close to it.

In addition, the strength of the strong man displayed by the Mercenary Guild is already almost the same as that of the Wind Thunder Pavilion, the overlord of the Northern Regions, and in time, there will definitely be a collision between the old and new forces.

Hearing the hunchbacked old man's words with deep meaning, the black-robed man didn't ask anything more, and retreated respectfully.

……

The Mercenary Guild, since the addition of the powerful Tianhuo Venerable, the development speed has increased again, and in just three months, the Mercenary Guild has once again expanded its territory by nearly 20,000 li.

Counting, the total territory covered by the Mercenary Guild has reached 40,000 li, and the large countries around the empire, the center of each country is stationed with mercenary guild branches, and now, the entire northwest continent has at least one-third of the territory, distributed with the internal personnel of the mercenary guild and those mercenaries registered in the mercenary guild.

The reputation of the Mercenary Guild has already resounded throughout the entire Northwest Continent, and if it develops a territory of 30,000 li further south, it can be regarded as entering the northern region of Zhongzhou.

And such a huge force will naturally attract the attention of some other forces.

The nearest big force is the overlord of the Northern Regions, the Wind Thunder Pavilion.

……

The East Pavilion of the Wind and Thunder Pavilion is located in the Wind and Thunder Mountains on the edge of the northern region close to the middle region, the area here is quite peculiar, perhaps because the terrain is too high, there is always thunder, the weather is unpredictable, the sun is shining before, maybe the next moment, it is a thunderstorm.

The entire Wind and Thunder Mountain Range is the sphere of influence of the East Pavilion, and here, just like their back garden, other forces that have no strength dare not touch here.

The Wind and Thunder Mountain Range, just looking at it, is much bigger than the Tianmu Mountain Range that Xiao Yixian and the others have been to before, in that mountain range, the amazing thunder sound can be felt even from afar, and the power of wind and thunder contained in the mountain range is even more moving.

At this moment, in the depths of this mountain range, stands a majestic and precipitous peak, Thunder Mountain!

Thunder Mountain is extremely high, from the foot of the mountain at a glance, can not see the end, above the mountainside, is surrounded by the clouds of dense fog, this cloud and mist is a little dark, there is actually a faint thunder flickering in it, look at it from a distance, this mountain peak is like being covered by countless thunder, extremely magnificent and majestic.

On the top of Thunder Mountain, there is a kind of silver giant tree, this kind of tree is quite strange, there is not a single branch or leaf, and the whole looks like a straight and straight pillar.

In this silver giant tree, there is a rather rich power of thunder and lightning, if there is a soul power sense, it can be found that a curling thunder and lightning qi along the top of the giant tree, gushing out continuously, and finally rising into the dark clouds in the sky.

With these silver trees providing the power of thunder, the dark clouds in the sky will never dissipate, so if you cultivate the thunder attribute exercises here, you will get twice the result with half the effort.

At this moment, at the top of this Thunder Mountain, at the bottom of a huge silver tower that towered into the sky, some high-level personnel of the Wind Thunder Pavilion gathered.

In the space at the bottom of the silver giant tower, sitting on top of the first place was Venerable Lei, who had dealt with the ancient river before and looked extremely majestic.

A little below, there sat a middle-aged man with bare arms, and two old men in silver robes, one of whom had a pair of eyes, which was actually silver-white, which was extremely rare.

These three people are the sub-pavilion masters of the Wind Thunder South Pavilion, the Wind Thunder West Pavilion, and the Wind Thunder North Pavilion, and they have all reached the stage of the high-level Dou Sect with their strength.

Below these three people, they were all some Dou Sect cultivators of the Southeast, Northwest, and Four Pavilions, adding up to nearly twenty people.

With such a force, the Wind Thunder Pavilion is naturally the overlord of the barren land of the Northern Regions, after all, the Northern Regions is known as the only Thunder Venerable Douzun powerhouse.

However, at this moment, the many Wind Thunder Pavilion powerhouses gathered at the bottom of this silver giant tower all had quite solemn faces.

Suddenly, the bare-shouldered man who was sitting a little below Venerable Lei said loudly: "Looking at the development momentum of the mercenary guild of the emerging forces in the Northwest Continent, it may not take more than a year to open the branch to Zhongzhou!" ”

This bare-shouldered man who opened his mouth, his cultivation has reached the Nine Star Dou Sect, and he is the master of the Wind Thunder South Pavilion.

"Lord Nange, you're exaggerating, a Northwest Continent is enough for the Mercenary Guild to develop for several more years, and it will definitely be unstable to expand its power so far all at once!" Hearing the words of the Pavilion Master of the Wind Thunder South, the Pavilion Master of the Wind Thunder West on the side shook his head and said.

"That's not necessarily, as far as I know, some of the policies in this mercenary guild are extremely special, in the mercenary guild, it's all about strength and hard work, as long as you work hard, the rewards can be described as very rich, the mercenary group registered in the mercenary guild, whether it is a manager or an ordinary member, the speed of improving the strength is very terrifying!" As the words of the West Pavilion Lord fell, the North Pavilion Lord Tian Leizi's silver-white eyes were filled with thought, and he slowly spoke: "It can be said that in the Northwest Continent, every place the Mercenary Guild goes to, it can drive the overall development of a place, and most of the people support the Mercenary Guild, so if it is not blocked by the thorn forces, there will not be a situation where the development is too fast and the foundation is unstable." ”

These three Wind Thunder Pavilion sub-pavilion masters, in addition to the West Pavilion Lord, the South Pavilion Lord and the North Pavilion Lord Tian Lei Zi have similar meanings, and they all feel that the development of the Mercenary Guild will soon threaten the status of the Wind Thunder Pavilion in the Northern Region.

"Tian Leizi, tell me what you think!" Just as the three of them were talking, Venerable Lei, who was sitting in the first place and had been silent, suddenly spoke.

Hearing Venerable Lei speak, the three of them immediately stopped discussing.

Tian Leizi quickly stood up from his seat and replied very respectfully: "Pavilion Master, in my opinion, there are only two choices, one is to let it go and let the Mercenary Guild develop, because, according to some analysis of the development process of the Mercenary Guild, they will not take the initiative to attack any force for no reason, but will do it to those who have no reason to hinder the construction of the branch. Even if he develops to the Northern Regions, our Wind Thunder Pavilion's industry will not have any losses! ”
