A Demon's Path

C451

In the hall on the top floor of the West River Trading Company, Long Yuxuan sat on the chair that symbolized her status as the master. She leaned one elbow on the armrest and used her other hand to support her crooked head.

It had to be said that Ling Xiao's other abilities were unknown. Just from the bickering he had with the crowd, it was as though he was number one in the world.

Even with seven or eight people surrounding her to attack with a tongue, Ling Xiao was still able to remember who said what. After they finished, she answered one after another. Her reaction speed was so fast that these people were left in the dust.

In terms of cultivation, Ling Xiao had received guidance from Xiao Beiming, the Seven Demons Grandmaster and the Lord of the Demon Soul. Who else could have greater attainments in this area than him?

As for alchemy, Tianji Academy had a broad and profound list, and the dragon medicine in charge of alchemy in the Long family couldn't be compared to it.

Finally, as for commanding actual combat, Ling Xiao had made the three most famous battles in the continent, the Great War of the Southern Camel Mountain, the Battle of the Polar Region and the Counterattack of the Destiny World, her classic commanding battles.

Ling Xiao used her soul power to draw out a map of the three great battles. She slowly explained the background, environment, the comparison of strength between the two sides, as well as the results of the battle.

If she had not personally participated in directing such a battle, it would have been impossible for her to explain in such detail.

Furthermore, Ling Xiao's eloquent speech made everyone feel as though they were in a trance, causing them to unknowingly sink into deep thought.

Only after Ling Xiao finished speaking did everyone recall the three great battles that Ling Xiao had mentioned. They had all forgotten that their original goal was to test Ling Xiao and not to listen to Ling Xiao's stories.

Only Long Yuxuan noticed that although Ling Xiao's expression did not change greatly when she spoke of the final battle, Ling Xiao's words were completely different from before. Back then, the calmness made Long Yuxuan feel that Ling Xiao was actually not willing to speak of that battle.

Long Yuxuan already had a certain understanding of Ling Xiao. This man valued some things, some people, especially the people who were always helpful to her.

Long Yuxuan could sense that Elder Qing, who had died, was the person Ling Xiao had been brooding over and trying to save.

Thinking about how this man actually had such a wonderful and complicated past, Long Yuxuan could not help but feel pity for him. Her feelings towards Ling Xiao changed a little, deepening a level.

"Everyone, do you think that Ling Xiao has passed your assessment?" Long Yuxuan did not want Ling Xiao to dwell on such a state of mind, so she hurriedly stood up and asked the rest of the Long family.

All the members of the Long family looked at each other. At the same time, they could see the admiration for Ling Xiao in the other party's eyes.

"The Patriarch is truly worthy of being the Patriarch. He is intelligent and knowledgeable. With a mutant like Lord Ling Xiao here, we are all convinced." Everyone was happily convinced, and Long Kai, who had wanted to see Ling Xiao become a joke, was already convinced.

To make the three great families of the Divine Soul Tower and the Divine Soul Sect come and kill Ling Xiao, such a large number of people was not enough to prove how powerful Ling Xiao was.

Facing these pillars of the Long family, Ling Xiao sincerely and sincerely bowed to them, "Everyone, I, Ling Xiao, am grateful for the trust you all have placed in me. I, Ling Xiao, swear in the name of my soul that as long as I, Ling Xiao, am still alive, I will definitely advance or retreat together with the Dragon clan of the West River."

"What a great 'advancing and retreating together'. We won't abandon them, haha."

The people of the Long family were all straightforward people. Patriarch Long Yuxuan was a woman, which made them a bit too reserved at times. Now that the Patriarch found a man as straightforward as them, how could the people of the Long family not laugh out loud?

"Sir Ling Xiao, how about having a good drink tonight?" Someone suggested.

Ling Xiao smiled slightly and took out a jar of wine from her storage space. "Wine is good stuff. The body of water, the soul of fire... I will first leave this jar of wine here, and after I defeat those hypocritical fellows from the God Demon Pagoda and the God Soul Sect, I will use it to pay respects to everyone, and at that time, we will not be able to return until we are drunk. "

"Alright, I won't leave until I'm drunk." Voices resounded throughout the hall, as though it was the most firm agreement between Ling Xiao and the members of the Long family.

Other than the representatives of the businesses in the West River City, there was also a huge power, and that was the West River Mercenary Guild.

As long as those homeless mercenaries started their businesses in the West River City, they would treat this place as their home.

Because the West River Mercenary Union had truly done all that they could for the sake of resolving all their worries, every single mercenary would risk their life just for a single sentence. Even if they had to pay with their own lives, they wouldn't hesitate to do so.

At that moment, Ling Xiao was standing at the entrance to the Mercenary Guild, looking up at the huge, sword-shaped symbol erected at the entrance of the Mercenary Guild.

He was waiting for someone called Niu Dazhuang.

When Niu Dazhuang appeared in front of Ling Xiao, he looked curiously at her and cautiously asked, "May I ask Sir Ling Xiao if you know me?"

Ling Xiao revealed a good-natured smile. "Big Brother Niu, we've parted on Locust Mountain and forgotten about me so quickly."

Niu Dazhuang widened his eyes as he pointed at Ling Xiao. He was speechless for a long time, "You … You. "You are..."

"Hehe, Xiao Jue." When Ling Xiao finally said this name, Niu Dazhuang suddenly laughed out loud. He hugged Ling Xiao and said, "So it's Sir Ling Xiao. No wonder, no wonder."

Being hugged by such a grown man like this and the strange smell on Niu Dazhuang's body made Ling Xiao feel uncomfortable even if she did not push him away. It made her feel awkward for a long time.

Niu Dazhuang finally recovered from his excitement. He immediately realized that Ling Xiao might have something that she needed his help with. He hurriedly said, "Brother Ling, please come in and speak."

This was the first time Ling Xiao entered the Mercenary Guild in Xihe City. He looked around curiously and felt that the layout was quite new.

In front of him was a large circular field. The field was divided into several areas. Each area had a huge floating image. There were various missions floating on the map as well as rewards for completing them.

For the past two days, due to the siege of Xihe City, the mercenaries were not in the mood to accept missions, they all sat on the ground and drank their wine in boredom.

When they saw Ling Xiao walk in under Niu Dazhuang's lead, they were all shocked speechless.

Ling Xiao smiled at the mercenaries and gestured at them. Following that, she smiled mysteriously. "Everyone, you will have a mission soon."

The mercenaries stared at Ling Xiao in confusion. Amongst these people, only a few hundred of them went to surround the West River Chamber of Commerce. Those staring at him were the mercenaries that did not participate in the encirclement of the West River Chamber of Commerce and had never seen Ling Xiao's "might" before.

Niu Dazhuang brought Ling Xiao to a room that had a gigantic sword-shaped sign hanging on the door. He knocked on the door gently, "President, Your Excellency Ling Xiao is looking for you."

"Come in." A slightly hoarse voice sounded as Ling Xiao faltered, "It's a woman."

Following that, Ling Xiao pushed open the door and entered. She saw the owner of the voice.

The owner of the voice was indeed a real woman: a head full of wild black curly hair, a face full of the scent of women, a tall figure, a chest with an exaggerated curve, strong long legs, bronzed skin …

Of course, after sweeping her gaze up and down, Ling Xiao's gaze unceremoniously landed on the twin peaks.

The woman seemed to be accustomed to Ling Xiao's gaze. Her lips curled slightly as she said in disdain, "I never expected that the Ling Xiao whose name shakes the entire continent is actually a vulgar man. It's truly disappointing."

Ling Xiao immediately retorted, "Don't women have big boobs for men to see? If they ignore this model, how can they be called men?"

The woman giggled. Clearly, she did not expect Ling Xiao to say something like that, "I've seen quite a few lecherous men. It's rare to see such a man with such a high profile and lecherous nature like you."

Ling Xiao raised her head and grunted twice. "So lecherous and reasonable, so lecherous and innocent."

"Alright, alright, let's not talk about this." The woman hurriedly stopped the long lecture Ling Xiao was about to give, "Please take a seat. May I ask why you are looking for me?"

The woman and Ling Xiao sat at a tea table in the room and poured Ling Xiao a cup of tea.

Ling Xiao took the cup of tea and gently sipped it before putting it down. "Coming here is naturally to find the President for business. This business is too big, not daring to announce it to the public."

The woman asked with interest, "Oh, what kind of business? Just say it directly."

"I want all the mercenaries in the West River Trading Company to come out. With West River City as the center and five hundred meters as the radius, I want to dig a two meter wide and ten meter deep circular deep ditch." When it came to serious matters, Ling Xiao's expression turned extremely serious. Of course, her eyes would occasionally glance below the woman's chin.

The woman was very calm. Without asking Ling Xiao why, she asked directly, "How much is the commission?"

Ling Xiao chuckled as she stretched out two fingers.

"20 million yellow crystals." The woman shook her head. "Too little."

Ling Xiao also shook her head and said with a smile, "It's not just that."

"Two hundred million." The woman's heart sped up immediately, but she still rejected Ling Xiao. "You know who you offended. It's naturally very dangerous for us brothers to go out of the city and do these things for you. Furthermore, we have so many brothers …"

"President, I said two billion." Ling Xiao blurted out such a number with a straight face, causing the woman to jump up from her seat. "Two billion, I didn't mishear you incorrectly."

Ling Xiao nodded seriously. Once again, she secretly and viciously glanced at the woman's exaggerated arc. "Yes, guild leader, you did not hear wrongly. There are two billion yellow crystals. Not a single one is missing. Furthermore, it's all in cash."
