"This is the deposit, one-third of the commission, and 700 million topaz. Please count it."
Ling Xiao directly handed the woman a soul chain for storage. The woman swept it away with her mental power, and her bronze face suddenly became extremely solemn: "Your Excellency Ling Xiao, we have accepted this task. As for commission, that’s all I charge.”
Naturally, Ling Xiao would not be polite if he could save money. He would force others to take it when they no longer wanted it. This kind of thing was definitely not something Ling Xiao could do.
However, he was very curious about the woman's sudden demand for 700 million topaz, and smiled: "Can you tell me why?"
The woman smiled, and her bronze smile made people feel full of health and vitality: "Your Excellency Ling Xiao, although this matter happened because of you, I also know that it was because the Tower of Gods and Demons wanted to swallow Xihe City. , and you happened to be in Xihe City, so you took the opportunity to stir up trouble. This is the home of our mercenaries. If we lose even this piece of land, we mercenaries will be homeless in the future, and we will only be reduced to mountains in the end. Thieves and bandits."
"So, for our common home, as a member of Xihe City, we naturally have to contribute." The woman said it sincerely, and Ling Xiao could feel the sincerity in her words: "I didn't go to the Xihe Chamber of Commerce and Your Excellency. We swore an oath together, and I am already very sorry that I have accepted so much from Your Excellency Ling Xiao this time, and I dare not ask for more from Your Excellency."
Hearing these words, Ling Xiao felt comfortable: Yes, it would be great to have such an awareness. Otherwise, could you give me back some more of those 700 million crystals?
Ling Xiao was thinking shamelessly in his heart when the woman continued: "I will use these 700 million citrine stones as a pension for my brothers. If they all return safely, I will only accept 700,000 from Mr. Ling Xiao."
Ling Xiao felt so happy that she almost laughed out loud.
Where can I find such a president who understands justice so well? Whoever marries such a sensible woman will be admired.
What's more, that figure...
With his mind wandering, Ling Xiao couldn't help but ask: "Has the president ever been married?"
Seeing Ling Xiao turn his eyes to her chest again, the woman's good impression of Ling Xiao suddenly went to the sky again: "Your Excellency Ling Xiao, it suddenly occurred to me that the mercenary union still needs a large amount of funds. Renovation operation…”
"Uh, let's talk about this another day." Ling Xiao understood what the woman meant and was so frightened that she immediately turned around and ran away.
"What a nice man." Looking at Ling Xiao's embarrassed figure, the woman pursed her lips and smiled: "I'm really looking forward to seeing what kind of waves you, a wanted criminal from the Tower of Gods and Demons, can make in Xihe City. , By the way, Your Excellency Ling Xiao, I have always forgotten to tell you that my name is Xia Yuhua."
Ling Xiao had already escaped without a trace, and did not even hear Xia Yuhua introduce herself.
***
After the Yuntian Sect's 10,000-person troops were bombarded by one cannon, more than 20,000 soul masters appeared outside Xihe City within half a day. These casual cultivators were all summoned by the Tower of Gods and Demons. Yue Xianan agreed. Their many benefits made these guys swarm around like flies after smelling the stench.
However, in view of the lessons learned from the Yuntian Sect, the more than 20,000 soul masters, like the disciples of the Haotian Sect, withdrew from a distance of 10,000 meters from Xihe City.
In fact, they didn't know that if the Immortal-Slaying Chariot still wanted to kill them, they would still not be safe at all even if they stayed there.
If Ling Xiao doesn't kill them, he will just wait for the large army to arrive and kill them together to save artillery shells.
Ling Xiao first wanted to take revenge on the Yuntian Sect for the previous shot that destroyed the Yuntian Sect, and secondly, he wanted to make them retreat so that they would not notice that the mercenaries from Xihe City had begun to dig a deep circular ditch.
The mercenaries were busy outside the city, and the people in the city were not idle either. Especially the five people who controlled the Immortal-Slaying Chariot were practicing repeatedly, striving to become more proficient in controlling the extremely lethal Immortal-Slaying Chariot. .
Zou Tiezhu's Immortal Killing Chariot has an ever-brightening lamp and a relatively long killing range.
In contrast, the Immortal Killing Chariot of the Dragon Formation is equipped with a Purple Level Heavenly Chong Soul Stone. Its killing range is relatively wide, and it can use the power of the formation to inhibit the mobility of chain soul masters below the Purple Level. As long as Once within the range of the Immortal-killing Chariot of the Dragon Formation, a weaker guy would not be able to escape in time and would undoubtedly die.
With such a killing machine, Long Zhen, whose face turned pale because he concentrated on studying the formation, was very excited and couldn't wait to try the power of this machine.
There is also one controlled by Long Yao with wild hair. Long Yao is an alchemist like Ling Xiao. It has a lot of poison provided by Ling Xiao on its ammunition. Even if someone can dodge his chariot The attack, the poison emitted through the shells, can still destroy enemies within a radius of 10,000 meters in a large area.
The fourth machine is controlled by Long Wu Xing. This Long Wu Xing is a guy from the Long family who specializes in studying the power of the Five Elements and Five Spirits. His feature is that he added a purple-level soul stone to the attack amplification chamber.
As long as his cannonball hits a certain area, in addition to the power of the cannonball itself, the additional purple-level five-element attack power will also cause the area within 10,000 meters to withstand the purple-level five-element attack.
The last one is controlled by Long Mo, who is good at Linghui Soul. Long Mo also added a purple-level Linghui Soul Soul Stone to the attack amplification chamber of the Immortal-Slaying Chariot. This soul stone can activate his Immortal-Slaying Chariot. Attacks increase mental impact.
These five immortal-killing chariots, each with its own characteristics, stand neatly on the platform above the top floor of the Xihe Chamber of Commerce. Just looking at this formation makes you feel extremely majestic and shocking.
These five people are training to skillfully operate the chariot, while Ling Xiao hides in his small dark room and continues to attack the Huang level.
During the time when he was traveling with Nangong Yurong, Ling Xiao saw Nangong Yurong's talisman-using techniques and was deeply touched.
It only took half a day for Ling Xiao to convert the remaining six souls into essences.
As for the spirit, Ling Xiao swallowed the nine souls in the belly of the nine-headed black ice snake, and their memories are full of experiences on how to transform the spirit.
This time, Ling Xiao even took only an hour to convert the remaining six souls into Qi.
Not only that, with the help of the nine souls from the Heavenly Soul Realm, Ling Xiao also mastered the attacks of light and darkness.
To be more precise, light and dark attacks are not actually the skills of Qi, but the combined attack skills of Tian Chong, Ling Hui and Qi.
There is no such soul combined attack skill in the Life Soul World and the Earth Soul World. Although this kind of light and dark attack is not as strong as it is in the memory of the nine souls now used by Ling Xiao, in the Earth Soul World, this kind of combined attack skill is not available in the Earth Soul World. The skill should be able to make many unsuspecting opponents drink a pot.
The power of the three combined attack skills is not as simple as three ones added together equals three, but the power of three times three.
With seven souls, and two souls of gods and demons, plus this three times three power, if Ling Xiao reaches the yellow level, it will not be a problem to directly kill a green level without resorting to other means.
"It's my last breath." Ling Xiao was not dazzled by the temporary success in cultivation, so he closed his eyes and continued practicing.
The ones who are more leisurely now are Li Yuanchong's family and Zhu Xiaolu. These four people have not stepped into the world for a long time, but they took advantage of these three days to take a walk around Xihe City.
Li Yuanchong also rarely enjoyed the family happiness of going shopping as a family, and Zhu Xiaolu also became more and more like a real person during such wandering.
Li Hui likes to go shopping very much. Xihe City is also a prosperous commercial place. The toys Li Hui buys can fill up three or four of his rooms.
Seeing their son so happy, there was no reason for Li Yuanchong and his wife not to accompany him. It was not until the night of the third day that Li Hui reluctantly returned to the Xihe Chamber of Commerce.
After settling down his wife and children, Li Yuanchong walked to the hall of Xihe Chamber of Commerce, where Ling Xiao, Long Yuxuan and the Long family were making final preparations.
"You have been promoted to the yellow level." Li Yuanchong couldn't help but exclaimed when he saw Ling Xiao.
Li Yuanchong was exposed to the light of the souls of his ancestors in his body, and those souls matched his soul, which allowed his cultivation to advance by leaps and bounds. However, Ling Xiao also reached the Huang level in three years, which made Li Yuanchong secretly sigh. , this guy is a pervert wherever he goes.
After being promoted to the yellow level, Ling Xiao's temperament has undergone some subtle changes. He was originally a confident person, and his improvement in strength has brought him more confidence.
Seeing Li Yuanchong speak, Ling Xiao nodded calmly: "Yuan Chong, you came just when I was looking for you. We have decided that you have a wife and children to protect, so you can stay here..."
Li Yuanchong's originally smiling face suddenly turned cold: "Ling Xiao, do you want me to be a coward for the rest of my life? Elsewhere, you can let me use the excuse of protecting my wife and children to justify myself, but now I'm here, If my son knew that when he was in danger, his father would only hide behind those who protected him, what would my son think in the future?"
Long Yuxuan smiled "gloatingly": "Ling Xiao, I told you that as long as they are your friends, no one will want to be protected by you for the rest of their lives."
Ling Xiao smiled bitterly: "Okay, you're right. We are good partners. Let's cooperate when we fight."
Li Yuanchong then put away the coldness on his face and nodded: "Okay, it's settled, I'll leave first..."
"Wait." Long Yuxuan suddenly stopped Li Yuanchong and walked towards Li Yuanchong.
Li Yuanchong turned around and asked curiously: "Sister-in-law, what's the matter?"
Long Yuxuan's pretty face turned red when Li Yuanchong called her "sister-in-law", but she was wearing a veil so others couldn't see it: "This is for you, let Ling Xiao pick it up for you."
Long Yuxuan took out a fiery red dragon claw from the storage space and handed it to Li Yuanchong. As soon as Li Yuanchong took it, the faces of the other Long family members changed wildly: "Master."
Looking at the faces of other members of the Long family, Li Yuanchong immediately understood that this dragon claw must have a very different meaning to their Long family. He handed the dragon claw back to Long Yuxuan and shook his head: "I appreciate your sister-in-law's kindness. , this is too valuable, I can’t accept it.”
Long Yuxuan said sternly: "You accept this dragon claw of mine just so that you can put in more effort tomorrow. Maybe it's just that little strength of yours that makes Xihe City unable to defend itself. So what's the point of keeping this dragon claw?" use."
Long Yuxuan's words were not only meant for Li Yuanchong, but also for other members of the Long family.
Long Chengguang, the old man of the Long family, shook his head violently and let out a long sigh, which was regarded as acquiescing to Long Yuxuan's decision.
Ling Xiao naturally understood the preciousness of this dragon's claw, but he didn't know what the special significance of this dragon's claw was to the Long family. He couldn't help but ask, "Where did this dragon's claw come from."
Old man Long Chengguang explained: "This is the heirloom of the head of our Long family. The senior of our Long family was transformed into a human body by the holy fire dragon of the ancient heavenly soul world. This claw is his remains. It has always been a human body." Use it on the descendants of the Long family."
When Ling Xiao heard this, she couldn't help but gasp: These dragon claws turned out to be the claws of the Holy Fire Dragon of the Heavenly Soul Realm. Long Yuxuan really gave it away just as she said.
