No one with a powerful family would become a mercenary. Only those who are desperate and helpless are willing to take this dangerous and statusless path.
There are countless mercenary groups like Tiehua and Liefeng in Xihe City. Even if they all disappear one day, no one will care about what happened to them.
On this day, two such mercenary teams disappeared. Among them, Luo Yao's gale mercenary team was completely wiped out at the intersection of the Forest of Beasts, and the Tiehua mercenary team, except for the captain Tiehua, The other people's heads were placed in front of Ling Xiao without falling.
"Well, Chen Xu, thank you very much. I have one Soul Condensing Pill and thirty Orange Soul Pills. I will have them delivered to you in seven days." Ling Xiao nodded and smiled, and chatted with Chen Xu for a while. , and sent him and his archer bodyguards away.
As soon as Chen Xu returned to Chen Ji's shop, his archer bodyguard, who had been silent all this time, suddenly said: "Young Master, the master has asked you to temporarily take charge of the store. If you make your own decisions like this, the master will be unhappy."
Chen Xu smiled nonchalantly: "Aji, our family is all businessmen. If we want to do well, we must be more discerning than other businessmen. Let's not talk about anything else. Ling Xiao is an alchemist, so he deserves our attention... …”
"However, I always feel that there is a dangerous aura about this man, and I am afraid that he will hurt the young master." The man known as Aji quickly retorted, and the concern in his tone was naturally revealed.
Chen Xu still looked indifferent and said: "Don't worry, I can't guarantee anything else about this man. He will never harm the people he is good with. He has learned the art of recognizing people from his father these years." I still know a lot, if I invest in this guy named Ling Xiao, I guarantee that I will make a huge profit, haha."
Many years later, Chen Xu was still proud of his investment, and often boasted to his descendants about how well he knew people.
In fact, at this time, Chen Xu felt a little guilty in his heart, but now that he had made a decision, he would not change it.
Businessmen sometimes need to gamble like gamblers.
The price Chen Xu paid for Ling Xiao's elimination of the Tiehua mercenary group this time was that Chen Ji Shop offended the Xihe Mercenary United Union. No mercenary group was willing to do business with Chen Ji Shop again. The entire Chen Ji Shop His business was directly reduced by 50%.
After sending Chen Xu away, Ling Xiao, who was in the large courtyard, took out a storage soul chain and placed all the items inside on the floor.
Ling Shiyu was very puzzled as to why Ling Xiao didn't even look at anything else, but picked up a jade slip and studied it carefully.
Ling Shiyu knew that this soul chain was taken off by Ling Xiao from Tiehua. These things were originally Tiehua's things, but now they have become Ling Xiao's things.
Lu Chun who was on the side was also very curious and ran over without even drinking, wondering why Ling Xiao was so interested in a jade slip that conveyed a message.
"Lv Jiugui, do you know the magic soul restoration technique?" Ling Xiao put down the jade slip and glanced at Lu Chun.
"Demon Soul Restoration Technique." Lu Chun's drunken eyes suddenly lit up, and then he chuckled excitedly.
"Won't."
"Tch." Ling Shiyu glanced at her master with disdain: "I don't know why you are smiling so happily."
Lu Chun ignored Ling Shiyu's contempt and pulled Ling Xiao: "I don't know how, you teach me."
Ling Xiao smiled knowingly, this drunkard was soberer than anyone else.
A red power of spiritual wisdom and soul emitted from the center of Ling Xiao's eyebrows and shot into Lu Chun's eyebrows. In an instant, a green-level spiritual wisdom skill called Demonic Soul Reduction Technique fully emerged in Lu Chun's mind. .
"It's very simple." Lu Chun took the jade slip from Ling Xiao's hand with a confident look.
Then, Lu Chun's eyes stared straight at the jade slip, and strange cyan seal runes shot out from Lu Chun's eyes and merged into the jade slip.
The jade slip emits cyan light, and the lines of handwriting formed by soul power clearly appear in front of the three people's eyes.
"Kidnapped Ling Shiyu, blackmailed Cheng Tong, and then broke up with her. She framed it for Chen Ji Store and turned the two families against each other. The commission is one million topaz. The deposit of one hundred thousand has been paid. Please check."
Ling Xiao and Lu Chun frowned at the same time. It seemed that what happened this time was not caused by the Tiehua Mercenary Group, nor was it blamed on the Gale Mercenary Group as Tiehua said, but there was something else behind the scenes. The black hand.
The black hand was not pointing at Ling Shiyu, but at Chengtong Store and Chenji Store.
And if these two big stores turn against each other, who will be the direct beneficiary?
This question is what Ling Xiao and Lu Chun have been thinking about.
Originally, Ling Xiao could use the soul-searching technique to know who Tiehua had been in contact with, but the situation was critical and Ling Xiao only wanted to kill the enemy with one blow, so he directly blasted Tiehua's head.
Without his head, Ling Xiao now has nowhere to search for his soul.
From the looks of it, the clue seems to have been cut off.
Without being able to trace the mastermind behind the scenes, Ling Xiao has no intention of continuing to practice in seclusion even if he wants to.
"It seems that I have a good idea." Ling Xiao wiped his nose with his fingers and suddenly showed an extremely relaxed smile, which made Lu Chun and Ling Shiyu a little creepy.
The next day, Ling Xiao disappeared.
Later, not long after Ling Shiyu left home, she was kidnapped by a group of unknown people. The other party left a message asking Ling Chengtong to hand over 10 million topaz stones to redeem his daughter's life.
"This attire is really uncomfortable. This damn girl is really willing to sprinkle so much perfume on me. Doesn't the smell of sweat on my body be very strong? Damn it." He was locked in a secret room that was closed in all directions. , Ling Xiao helplessly endured the pungent perfume smell.
Ling Xiao would rather stay among a bunch of smelly men than have her nose ruined by such a strong perfume.
When we were at Piaohongyuan in Beiming City, although those girls also wore perfume, they were never as messy as this girl Ling Shiyu, but there was nothing that could be done about it. The girl was just saying that she smelled of sweat, so she didn't spray it more. Some of them can't hide the smell of a stinky man.
This plan was proposed by Ling Xiao himself, so Ling Shiyu asked Ling Xiao to cooperate very righteously.
"Forget it, let's get this matter settled first. Next time, I won't do anything stupid like this." Ling Xiao snorted twice and wanted to cross his legs unsightly, but suddenly thought that he was now "Ling Shiyu", he had to give up the idea angrily.
Ling Xiao looked at her outfit and thought maliciously, if she took off all her clothes now, wouldn't it be equivalent to looking at that girl all over, ahem...
"Gah," there was a long sound of opening the door, and the heavy iron door was opened, and a handsome young man in bright clothes walked in under the protection of two bald men.
As soon as the young man saw "Ling Shiyu", his eyes suddenly lit up, not hiding the naked desire in his eyes.
"Ling Shiyu" trembled all over and said in a trembling voice: "You, you, you, you...who are you and what do you want to do."
This young man who looked like a green fly had a lewd smile on his face: "Little girl, you don't need to know who I am. You just need to know that you will serve me later. Once I am in a good mood, I will definitely do it." Spare your life."
As he said that, the young master slowly walked towards "Ling Shiyu", his lewd and lewd look was as disgusting as possible.
"Ling Shiyu" shiveringly pointed at the two bald heads: "He...they are..."
"Oh, I'm still shy, haha, I like it." The young master doesn't have the hobby of performing adult performances in front of his subordinates. He waved casually: "You two, go down and wait until I call you." Come."
"Yes, Second Young Master." The two expressionless bald heads responded, then exited the secret room and closed the door.
Looking at this guy who threw himself into a trap, an imperceptible sneer appeared on the corner of "Ling Shiyu's" mouth.
"Little sister, your brother Long is here, haha..." The young master quickly took off all his clothes, rubbed his hands, and swallowed a few mouthfuls of saliva: "What a lady, a famous lady, I am I have played with it before, but I have never touched game like you. Come on..."
The young master opened his arms and pounced, and then his chest hit an extremely sharp dagger.
This young man glared at the boss. He had never imagined why this girl, who had clearly said that her soul power had been blocked, would suddenly take action, and the action would be extremely fast, accurate, and ruthless.
Ling Xiao didn't bother with this guy anymore, he just drew the dagger and ended this guy's life.
Afterwards, Ling Xiao used the Soul Searching Technique to imprint this guy's memory into the Image Soul Stone.
This guy really didn't lie. Most of his memories were of bed scenes with various women. Ling Xiao couldn't help but cursed secretly: Beast, how can you be more lucky than your Grandpa Ling?
Afterwards, Ling Xiao searched for useful memories as quickly as possible, and couldn't help but frown: These guys have big plans.
Ling Xiao kicked the young master's body out of boredom, took out a jade slip, and passed the message he wanted to convey through the jade slip.
Then, Ling Xiao raised his hands and rubbed his face a few times. A magical scene happened. Ling Shiyu's face turned into that young man's face in just a few moments of rubbing it.
Then, Ling Xiao stretched out his limbs, and after bursts of rattling sounds of bones, Ling Xiao turned into the look of the dead young master.
