Mercenary Harem in Murim Novel

"Is this it?"

After landing on the ground with much difficulty, Leo immediately went to the location that Anya mentioned and found a pile of bones with an intact head on a pedestal, put nicely in respect.

Anya and Old Jin were standing next to the altar.

Leo felt a cold sensation running down his spine, his body trembled as the hairs on his arms stood on end. He felt something in his chest and his breathing quickened.

"Hahaha... I am nervous just by standing here." He smiled wryly. "So this is Supreme Evil's body, huh?"

He could feel the intense energy emanating from the bones. They were not only emitting the familiar dark energy, but also an evil and dangerous energy. Stay connected through empire

Now he understood what people said. Supreme Evil shouldn't be revived. It should be buried and destroyed to dust so the evil energy would be gone.

"I have felt the residue before. But this... No wonder I lost my senses before. Hahaha, thanks to this lady, I was saved. But I shouldn't stay here any longer. These bones' remaining Qi is driving me mad."

Old Jin remarked while he was walking away from the altar, his expression changed to a pale color as if he was going to faint at any time.

"I will leave first and tell the brat not to send anyone here. Sorry, but consider my help to repay our debt."

"Thank you for your cooperation. I accept the remaining debt to be paid in cash." Leo chuckled and waved his hand. "See you again, old man. I will ask you again later."

"Hah! Stingy lads." Old Jin scoffed and disappeared into shadow, leaving only Leo and two other girls left.

The place was dark with a few torches. There was no source of light, but Leo's night vision allowed him to see the surroundings.

The altar was a simple thing. It was just an elevated stone that resembled a coffin with the bones laid neatly on it. There were a total of two hundred and eight bones. All of them were placed neatly on the altar, arranged in order, with the intact head placed on top.

"What should I do with this?"

Even staying here made his skin crawl. He definitely couldn't bring these bones outside.

"Leader, we also found a book." Anya said, showing a thick book with a leather cover.

It looked old, probably made hundreds of years ago. The leather cover was cracked, but it still had its original shape and design. It seemed like a very important thing, considering how carefully the cover was designed. It even had a small metal chain around it.

Leo recognized the design. It was pretty similar to the book he found in Arms' safe, a forbidden book containing the way to revive Supreme Evil.

A bad feeling immediately welled up in his chest. It was something he had never experienced before, something that sent a shiver down his spine and made his heart beat faster.

"Leader?" Sherly asked, concerned about his pale expression. Her own face also paled when she saw the book. "That book... I have a bad feeling about that."

"...Let's keep it compressed inside a capsule and I will put it inside the storage ring. I think we should throw this book to space too, the other side from where I send Head and Heart."

Just to be safe, he didn't open the book. He also stored the bones in capsules without touching them, afraid that something bad might happen.

In this kind of world, there might be something bad happening if he did that. Like summoning a demon or a curse. Or even a sudden death and possession.

Everything was possible in Murim World. So being careful and just throwing it into space like trash was the best possible action.

Thus, Leo sealed it inside the capsule. Then, he put it inside his storage ring, and then, they returned to their mission to evacuate the people.

All people in the Murim Alliance headquarter had been put unconscious. Anya had ensured that they wouldn't wake up before Chiaki arrived at the Capital and fed them the antidote to return them to normal.

And so, Leo went to the evacuation site and found Jessica talking with Emperor Sheng. He was the first person who was supposed to get evacuated, but what was he doing here?

"I see that you take your time to get evacuated, Emperor Sheng." Leo said with a frown.

The Emperor, who was standing on the ground, his clothes in disarray and a frown on his face, grinned at him.

"Isn't this the safest place in this city? I am afraid to die, you know. That's why I am not moving from your subordinate's side."

Leo sighed. He turned to look at Jessica. She just shook her head and smiled weakly.

"Ah... Whatever." Leo said in a defeated voice and shrugged. "For now, we've taken care of the Supreme Evil's followers. There might be some hiding but that's your responsibility. Our contract is finished here. We will be leaving once our member, Chiaki, arrives and distributes the cure for the brainwashed martial artists."

"Good. Good!" The Emperor nodded. "But you're leaving too fast. Why don't you take your rest first? We can have a feast to celebrate our victory."

"No, thank you. There is still something I need to do."

Namely disposing of the strange book and Supreme Evil's bones. He also had to hide it from Chiaki. She would definitely take an interest in the bones. And that wasn't something good at all. Everything must disappear.

"Then I can't do anything." Emperor Sheng nodded, "How much are you expecting as your reward? Or rather, can I deliver the reward later? I am afraid I don't have that much cash on hand. I am sorry but we have to fix our country's problems. I don't know what you will do, but if we give all the reward money, our country might go bankrupt."

"It's okay. But I will have you to make our Mercenary Union official, as promised. I will also ask for the 50% reward later."

Emperor Sheng nodded.

"That can be done immediately after the evacuation is finished."

"I see. Thank you, then."

And with that, Leo left. He didn't go far though, just a bit outside the city so he could make a shapeshift base for all his members. He also met up with Jack and Shui, who played a vital role in protecting the citizens.

Every Outcasts member and Astrid also played some roles in defeating the enemies. The Capital became safe, but the Emperor still chose to move to the new city instead of staying in it due to the Miasma.

While martial artists could live without any problem inside, normal people would get sick easily. It was the best choice to relocate the Capital into a different place.

And so, after Chiaki arrived a day later, she took the job of making a cure and curing the martial artists. After a day, the brainwashing was lifted, and the martial artists returned to their senses. They began to help with the evacuation immediately afterward. After all, it was a good thing for them since they didn't need to pay for it.

A few days later, everyone was relocated, and the new capital was established. The new city, the temporary capital, was built on top of a mountain.

With the superhuman strength and stamina of martial artists, they didn't feel any discomfort at all when they had to live in a high altitude.

It was an uncharted area. But Emperor Sheng decided that it would be their capital from now on.

As the capital was relocated, Emperor Sheng also gave a royal decree that every city in this country acknowledge the Mercenary Union as a legitimate organization.

Thus, the curtain of the story closed. Leo and the others returned to Chengdu.
