A Demon’s Path

In the hall on the top floor of the Xihe Chamber of Commerce, Long Yuxuan sat on the chair that symbolized the status of the owner, leaning on the armrest with one elbow, supporting her crooked head with one hand, relaxing with great interest. Watching Ling Xiao bickering with her retainers.

It has to be said that Ling Xiao doesn't know what his other skills are, just judging from his bickering with everyone, it seems that he is number one in the world.

Even though he was surrounded by seven or eight people, Ling Xiao was still able to clearly remember who said what, and then when they finished speaking, he answered them one by one. His quick response was far beyond the reach of these people.

In terms of cultivation, Ling Xiao has been instructed by Xiao Beimin, the Patriarch of the Seven Demons, and the Lord of the Demon Soul. Who else can achieve more profound attainments than him in this area?

As for the alchemy technique, Amakusa Compendium is extensive and profound, and it is incomparable to the dragon medicine that is in charge of the alchemy of the Long family.

Finally, regarding commanding actual battles, Ling Xiao took the famous three major battles in Yaotian Continent, the Battle of Southern Camel Mountain, the Battle of Polar Regions, and the Battle of Destiny Realm, as his classic command battles.

Ling Xiao used his soul power to outline the maps of the three major battles. He pointed on the maps and talked eloquently. He gave a detailed introduction to the background, environment, comparison of the strength of the enemy and us, and the results of the battles at that time. , listening to everyone straight into God.

If he hadn't personally participated in the command of such a battle, Ling Xiao wouldn't have been able to explain it in such detail.

Coupled with Ling Xiao's excellent eloquence, everyone seemed to be in the scene when they spoke, and people were unknowingly addicted to it.

It wasn't until Ling Xiao finished speaking that everyone thought about the three major battles that Ling Xiao had mentioned just now, forgetting that their original intention was to test Ling Xiao, not to listen to Ling Xiao's storytelling.

Only Long Yuxuan noticed that when Ling Xiao talked about the final battle, although there was no big change in expression on Ling Xiao's face, Ling Xiao's eloquence was different from before, and the calmness at that time made Long Yuxuan feel that Ling Xiao actually didn't want to mention that battle.

Long Yuxuan now has a certain understanding of Ling Xiao. This man attaches great importance to certain things and certain people, especially those who have always been helpful to him.

Long Yuxuan could feel that the dead Elder Qing was the one Ling Xiao had been brooding about and hadn't rescued.

Thinking of this man having such a wonderful and complicated past, Long Yuxuan couldn't help but feel pity for him, and her feelings for Ling Xiao changed a little bit and deepened.

"Everyone thinks, does Ling Xiao pass your assessment?" Long Yuxuan didn't want Ling Xiao to be immersed in that state of mind, so she stood up quickly and asked everyone in her Long family.

All the servants of the Long family looked at me and I looked at you, and at the same time, they saw their appreciation for Ling Xiao from the eyes of each other.

"The head of the family is worthy of being the head of the family, with discerning eyes and talents. With a stranger like Ling Xiao here, we are all convinced." Everyone was sincerely convinced, and Long Kai, who wanted to see Ling Xiao's jokes earlier, was already convinced.

Want to see Ling Xiao's fighting power? What a joke, the Tower of Soul and the Soul Sect can be mobilized to kill Ling Xiao in three days and three places. Isn't such a large scale enough to prove Ling Xiao's strength?

Others respect him, so Ling Xiao also respects others. Facing the mainstays of the Long family, Ling Xiao bowed to them sincerely: "Everyone, I, Ling Xiao, thank you for your trust in me. I, Ling Xiao, hereby swear in the name of my soul that as long as I have As long as Ling Xiao is alive, I will definitely advance and retreat with the Xihelong family, never leave!"

"It's a good one to advance and retreat together, never leave! Haha!"

Everyone in the Long family is bold, and the head of the family, Long Yuxuan, is a woman, which makes them more or less cautious at times. Now that the head of the family has found a man who is as bold as them, how can everyone in the Long family not laugh?

"Your Excellency Ling Xiao, how about drinking all night tonight?" Someone suggested.

Ling Xiao smiled slightly, and took out a jar of wine from the storage space: "Wine is a good thing, the body of water, the soul of fire... I will put this jar of wine here first, waiting to repel the tower of gods and demons." After I get along with those hypocrites from the Soul Sect, I will use it as a respect to everyone. At that time, we will not go home until we are drunk!"

"Okay, don't go home if you don't get drunk!" Voices echoed in the hall one after another, like the strongest agreement between Ling Xiao and all the retainers of the Long family.

***Xihe City not only has business representatives from major forces here, but also a huge force, that is the Xihe Mercenary Union.

As long as those homeless mercenaries are making a living in Xihe City, they will regard this place as their home.

Because the Xihe Mercenary Union really took care of these mercenaries and solved their problems, so the mercenary union said that all mercenaries would die for it, even if it cost them their lives.

At this time, Ling Xiao was standing at the entrance of the mercenary union, looking up at the huge sword-shaped sign that stood tall at the entrance of the mercenary union.

He was waiting for someone, a man named Niu Dazhuang.

When Niu Dazhuang appeared in front of Ling Xiao, he looked at Ling Xiao curiously, and asked cautiously: "Dare to ask Your Excellency Ling Xiao, do you know me?"

Ling Xiao showed a kind smile: "Brother Niu, after leaving Locust Mountain, did you forget about me so soon?"

Niu Dazhuang widened his eyes, pointed at Ling Xiao, and was speechless for a while: "You...you...you are..."

"Hehe, Xiao Jue." When Ling Xiao finally said the name, Niu Dazhuang burst out laughing, and hugged Ling Xiao in a bear hug: "So it's Your Excellency Ling Xiao, no wonder, no wonder!"

Being hugged by such a big man like this, and Niu Dazhuang still had a strange smell on his body, Ling Xiao pushed it away, it was uncomfortable, and it was embarrassing for a long time.

Niu Dazhuang finally recovered from his excitement, and immediately realized that Ling Xiao might ask him for help, so he hurriedly said, "Brother Ling, please come in and talk!"

This was Ling Xiao's first time entering the mercenary union in Xihe City. He looked at the surrounding layout curiously and found it quite new.

There is a large circular field in front of you. This field is divided into several areas, and each area has a huge floating shadow, floating on it are various entrusted tasks and the rewards for completing these tasks.

Due to the siege of Xihe City in the past two days, the mercenaries were not in the mood to take on those tasks, and sat on the ground boringly drinking alcohol.

When they saw Ling Xiao walking in under the leadership of Niu Dazhuang, they were all surprised and speechless.

Ling Xiao smiled at the mercenaries, and then smiled at them mysteriously: "Everyone, you will have a mission soon."

The mercenaries stared at Ling Xiao inexplicably. Among these people, only a few hundred people went to surround the Xihe Chamber of Commerce, and those who stared at him were those who did not participate in the siege of the Xihe Chamber of Commerce, and who had never seen Ling Xiao's "mighty" mercenary.

Niu Dazhuang directly brought Ling Xiao to the door of a room with the same giant sword-shaped sign as the door, and knocked lightly on the door: "President, Your Excellency Ling Xiao is looking for you."

"Come in." A slightly hoarse voice sounded, and Ling Xiao was slightly startled: "Is it a woman?"

Afterwards, Ling Xiao opened the door and entered, and met the owner of the voice.

The owner of that voice is indeed a real woman: wild curly black hair, a feminine face, a tall figure, exaggerated breasts, strong long legs, and bronze skin...

Of course, after Ling Xiao glanced her up and down, he unceremoniously set his gaze on the towering shuangfeng.

The woman seemed to be used to Ling Xiao's gaze, she curled her mouth slightly, and said with disdain: "I never thought that Ling Xiao, who is famous in Dazzling Sky Continent, is also a vulgar man. It's really disappointing."

Ling Xiao immediately retorted: "Aren't women with big breasts just for men to see? If you turn a blind eye to this type of size, are you still called a man?"

The woman burst into a smile, she obviously didn't expect Ling Xiao to say such a thing: "I've seen a lot of lecherous men, but it's rare to see such a high-sounding lecherous man like you."

Ling Xiao raised her head and hummed twice: "Lust is justified, and lust is not a crime."

"Okay, okay, let's not talk about this." The woman hurriedly stopped Ling Xiao's tirade: "Please sit down, may I ask you why you want me?"

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

Ling Xiao took the cup of tea, took a sip, and then put it down: "Naturally, I came here to discuss business with the president. This business is too big, so I dare not announce it outside."

The woman asked with interest: "Oh, what business, let's just talk about it."

"I want all the mercenaries of the Xihe Chamber of Commerce to mobilize. With Xihe City as the center and a radius of 500 meters, dig a circular deep ditch that is two meters wide and ten meters deep." Become extremely serious, of course, those eyes still occasionally glance unconsciously under the woman's chin.

The woman was very calm, she didn't ask Ling Xiao why, and asked directly: "How much is the commission?"

Ling Xiao smiled, and stretched out two fingers.

"Twenty million topaz?" The woman shook her head, "Too little."

Ling Xiao also shook her head, and said with a smile, "Not only."

"Two hundred million?" The woman's heart beat faster, but she still refused Ling Xiao: "You also know who you have offended. It is very dangerous for us brothers to go out of the city to do these things for you. One thing. And we have so many brothers..."

"President, I'm talking about two billion." Ling Xiao said such a number without blushing and panting, which made the woman jump up from her seat: "Two billion? I heard it right ?”

Ling Xiao nodded seriously, and took another sneaky and vicious look at the woman's exaggerated curves: "Yes, Your Excellency President, you heard me right, two billion topaz stones, one is quite a lot, and I still pay in cash .”
