"No need. This is what you deserve. I'll take my leave first."
Medicine King Sun Sa gave Ling Xiao a gift of thanks and left with his men.
Ji Qing walked over again and asked, "Why didn't Luoyu come back with you?"
Ling Xiao smiled and said, "Luoyu is lucky to have joined the Nine Heavens Palace. Her strength has soared. When the time comes, senior will definitely be pleasantly surprised."
"Sure enough."
Ji Qing sighed with emotion. "In the past, I wanted to send Luoyu to a sect in the western region of the Black Tortoise Continent. Unfortunately, they only wanted geniuses and didn't take a fancy to my daughter.
The Nine Heavens Palace is good. A sect that has been passed down for more than a hundred thousand years. Even if it has fallen, it still has very powerful martial arts.
Thank you, Ling Xiao. You've done something that even I couldn't do. "
"Senior, you flatter me. I just did something that was within my ability."
Ling Xiao smiled.
"I don't have anything to give you, but there are two things that I can help you with."
Ji Qing said, "First, our Heavenly Dragon Trading Company has investigated the recent movements of the five major forces in the western region. We found that the reason why they came to the White Tiger Continent this time is very likely related to a secret realm on the sea."
"Oh?"
Ling Xiao was stunned for a moment. He had asked the Demon Wine Sword to investigate this matter. He didn't expect to know about it from Ji Qing.
"Unfortunately, we still don't know where the secret realm is. We have to investigate further."
Ji Qing said, "Second, our Heavenly Dragon Trading Company will take care of your safety in the White Tiger Continent and the Dragon Phoenix Continent."
"My safety is fine. I just hope that the Heavenly Dragon Trading Company can help when my Heavenly Empire is in danger."
Ling Xiao wasn't worried about his safety at all. It wasn't that he was careless, but he knew that he didn't have to be afraid.
On the contrary, the Heavenly Empire might be facing the attack of the four great empires of the White Tiger Continent and the Zhengyi Sect. He had to be alert.
"That's not a problem. Princess Yun Ya can help you at any time in the Dragon Phoenix Continent. Although our Heavenly Dragon Trading Company usually doesn't side easily and basically maintains a neutral position, it's still possible to secretly help the people we like."
Ji Qing nodded his head.
"Thank you very much."
Ling Xiao was very clear that in addition to strength, one also needed financial resources to fight a war. If they could obtain the support of the Heavenly Dragon Trading Company, then their Heavenly Empire's unification of the White Tiger Continent would be just around the corner.
"Then, I'll take my leave first. If you need any help, you can ask any of the Heavenly Dragon Trading Company's branches. I'll definitely know."
Ji Qing cupped his hands before bidding farewell.
Although he missed his daughter, his daughter had her own path to walk, and he had his own path to walk.
There was no need to see him for the time being.
Daughters had to grow up and learn to be independent.
"Brother Ling, if you want to return to the Heavenly Dynasty Empire, you will have to pass through the Heavenly Sea Empire. Why don't we travel together?
Fan Ruohai wasn't in a hurry to leave.
"That's fine. With you around, we can save a lot of trouble."
Ling Xiao nodded. The Fan clan was extremely powerful in the Tianhai Empire, and was the second most powerful clan after the Tianhai clan. Even if the emperor wanted to touch his clan, he would have to think twice.
Following Fan Ruohai, Ling Xiao didn't have to deal with small problems.
"Set off!"
Fan Ruohai called out to the rest of the Fan clan, and they all set off.
One of them looked at Ling Xiao with some trepidation. This was Fan Ruohai's younger brother, Fan Ruolin.
He had once looked down on Ling Xiao.
However, he had watched as Ling Xiao grew from a nobody to the champion of the White Tiger Meet. Moreover, the five great powers of the Western Regions and Nine Heavens Palace fought over him to become their disciple.
This was an honor that he, Fan Ruolin, would never be able to obtain in his lifetime.
He was jealous, but more than that, he felt admiration and admiration.
From looking down on Ling Xiao in the past to reverence now, he hadn't changed. The only one who had changed was Ling Xiao.
Because Ling Xiao had become powerful, his attitude had changed. It was that simple.
Along the way, with the Fan clan clearing the way, nothing special happened.
However, the closer they got to the Heavenly Sea Empire, the stranger the atmosphere became.
There was an indescribable sense of oppression.
Ling Xiao felt as if something had happened, and it was something he didn't want to see.
Upon entering Heavenly Sea City, Ling Xiao discovered that the citizens seemed to have a natural hostility toward him.
When they looked at him, it was as if they were looking at an enemy.
There was anger, but there was also fear.
Presumably, it was because Ling Xiao had taken first place in the White Tiger Meet, causing the White Tiger Continent to lose face.
As citizens of the White Tiger Continent, they naturally couldn't be happy.
After thinking this through, Ling Xiao didn't pay them any more attention. After all, their standpoints were different. It was normal that they didn't like him. It wasn't strange.
He didn't plan to stay in Heavenly Sea City for long. After bidding farewell to Fan Ruohai, he planned to return to the Heavenly Empire. In any case, they didn't welcome him.
However, at that moment, the sound of a gong suddenly rang out on the streets of Heavenly Sea City.
There were also a few prison wagons parading through the streets.
The prisoners in the wagons only revealed their heads. The people on both sides of the street were using eggs, rotten vegetable leaves, and even stones to smash the prisoners.
Some of the prisoners' heads were already smashed open.
When they were captured, their internal energy was sealed. If their bodies weren't tough enough, they would definitely be injured.
At first, Ling Xiao didn't care. However, when the prison wagons got closer, a towering rage rose in his chest.
The prisoner in the first prison wagon was actually his life and death comrade-in-arms, his good brother Qin Huo!
He had saved Qin Huo in the Divine Phoenix Capital and established a deep friendship on the battlefield.
The two of them had fought together on the battlefield against the Black Crow Empire's army.
Through thick and thin, through life and death.
They were even closer than blood brothers.
But now, Qin Huo was locked in a cage. His shoulder blades were pierced with chains, and his cultivation was completely lost.
Although Qin Huo's cultivation wasn't too high and was stronger than Ling Xiao in the past, he had just broken through to the Yin Yang Realm.
However, after cultivating for so long and experiencing so many hardships, his cultivation was actually crippled just like that. His shoulder blades were even pierced.
How could Ling Xiao not be angry?
The remaining prisoners in the prison wagons were all Qin Huo's subordinates. Although Ling Xiao didn't recognize them, he was certain that they were soldiers of the Heavenly Empire.
He was participating in the White Tiger Meet in the Myriad Thunderbolts Desolate Ground, but his good brother and soldiers were being paraded through the streets.
Good!
Really very good!
Heavenly Sea Empire, you really are capable!
Suddenly, Ling Xiao stood in front of the convoy and released a terrifying aura that blotted out the sky.
Today, he would kill anyone who dared to block him!
His anger had already been ignited. With a light touch, it would erupt like a volcano.
However, someone just had to come and touch his bad luck.
"Audacious fanatic, don't think that you can do whatever you want in the Heavenly Sea Empire just because you took first place in the White Tiger Meet. These are wanted criminals, spies of the empire. What do you want?"
