After getting ready, Ai Kun led Luo Xiu to meet the Mercenary Leader of the Tianhe Mercenary Group.
The Mercenary Leader's name was Zuo Qianhuang. He was at the Second Realm of Dao Jade and had something of a reputation in the Flowing Thunder River area. Upon seeing Ai Kun, however, Zuo Qianhuang instantly shed his air of superiority and humbly referred to himself as a junior.
Although Ai Kun might not have much fame throughout the Three Thousand Worlds of the Upper Realm, he was an Emperor Realm Expert. Across the entire Upper Realm, such experts were exceedingly rare. This was especially true after the Azure Emperor went on a rampage, killing until no one dared claim the title of emperor. Since then, the number of Emperor Realm Experts in the Upper Realm had become even scarcer. Only after the fall of the Azure Emperor did Dao Jade experts dare to attempt breaking through to the Emperor Realm, which was why their numbers had increased somewhat.
