The Death Mountain Range was a path from the east of the Oshikaze Empire to the Yufeng Pavilion. On the outskirts of the Death Mountain Range, there was a small town that wasn't too big, but it was filled with people. It was the Assembly Town.
There was a large number of mercenaries in the Assembly Town. They relied on protecting merchant groups in exchange for payment, and the mercenaries' levels weren't high. Most of them were only Martial Masters.
However, at this moment, not only were these mercenaries not picking up customers, they were all gathered in front of a tavern, looking inside excitedly.
That's because there was a woman in a black dress sitting in the tavern. She had a hot figure and a beautiful face that could topple a country.
The mercenaries were naturally attracted by this woman. In this town, other than the burly mercenaries, it was rare for the merchants who traveled to the Death Mountain Range to see a woman, not to mention a stunning beauty like her.
At this moment, the woman was sitting in front of the table with her brows tightly furrowed. It was obvious that she had something on her mind. That woman was none other than Xiaoqian.
"Hehe, this beauty, who is she waiting for?"
Just at this moment, a few mercenaries who had reached the Middle Stage Martial Master level finally could not hold back their loneliness and walked towards Little Qian with smiles on their faces.
"Scram!"
After the few men walked in, Xiaoqian didn't even look at them as she shouted coldly.
"Buzz ~ ~"
"Plop ~ ~"
Xiaoqian's shout contained a powerful pressure. With Xiaoqian's Elementary Stage Martial God strength, how could these small mercenaries withstand Xiaoqian's shout?
All of them were paralyzed by the powerful force, and some even had their eardrums burst. A large amount of blood flowed out of their ears, and they became deaf.
At this moment, when everyone was looking at this extremely beautiful Xiao Qian, their faces were filled with fear. Never in their wildest dreams would they have imagined that such a peerless beauty like Xiao Qian would actually possess such tyrannical strength.
"This beauty, who is she waiting for?"
But just when Xiaoqian and these flies could finally quiet down, a teasing voice suddenly sounded behind Xiaoqian again.
After hearing this voice, Xiaoqian's already unsightly expression turned even colder. She stood up and prepared to teach the man a lesson.
At the same time, the surrounding mercenaries also noticed this man and immediately looked at him with anticipation. They were looking forward to seeing how he would be showcased by Xiaoqian.
But in the next moment, they were disappointed, because when Xiaoqian saw the man's face, not only did she not show the anger they had imagined, but her originally cold face actually became excited.
"Xiaoqian greets Master."
Looking at the black-robed man in front of her, Xiaoqian hurriedly bowed and said respectfully. And this man was naturally Xing Jue.
Actually, when Xing Jue first entered this "gathering town", he had sensed Xiaoqian's position and immediately rushed over. Naturally, the scene that had just happened was clearly heard by Xing Jue, so Xing Jue purposely wanted to tease Xiaoqian.
"Hehe, Xiaoqian, how many times have I told you, don't be so polite in the future." Seeing this, Xing Jue hurriedly helped Xiaoqian up and said with a smile.
However, seeing how intimate Xing Jue was with Xiaoqian, the surrounding mercenaries all cast jealous gazes towards Xing Jue. They thought to themselves that this guy was too lucky with women.
"Xiaoqian, why didn't you accompany Elder Cang to come here? Did something happen?" Xing Jue ignored the gazes of the mercenaries and went straight to the topic. Xing Jue had already guessed that if Xiaoqian came to look for him, something must have happened.
"Yes." After hearing Xing Jue's words, Xiaoqian's expression became melancholy again, and she nodded slightly.
"This is not the place to talk, come with me." Seeing this, Xing Jue slightly frowned. Then, with a wave of his sleeve, he blended into the space and disappeared.
Looking at Xing Jue, who had blended into the space, Xiaoqian's face was filled with astonishment. She never expected Xing Jue to reach the Martial God Realm so quickly. It must be known that she had spent a hundred years to reach the Martial God Realm.
However, after a moment, a happy smile appeared on Xiaoqian's face. Then, her figure moved, and she followed behind Xing Jue and stepped into the space.
"Martial … Martial … Martial … Martial God."
However, after Xing Jue and Xiaoqian both disappeared, a voice filled with shock and fear suddenly rang out among the stunned mercenaries. At this moment, they truly felt a lingering fear. The beauty they were drooling over was actually a genuine Martial God.
In the eyes of martial masters like them who had just condensed their aura seas, a Martial God was a god-like existence.
At this moment, on a hillside not far from the town, Xing Jue stood with his hands behind his back. His black robe fluttered in the wind, and he looked rather carefree. Behind him, Xiaoqian stood behind Xing Jue with a worried face.
After a long time, Xing Jue slowly turned his head and said to Xiaoqian with a smile, "Xiaoqian, let's go to the Boundless Sea."
"Master, are we really going to the Boundless Sea? Those people are very powerful, I'm afraid … "After hearing Xing Jue's words, Xiaoqian became nervous.
It turned out that after Xing Jue left the Netherworld Empire, Xiaoqian had been searching everywhere for rare treasures that could help Xing Jue refine the Soul Essence. After finding some simple herbs, there were still a few things that were very important and hard to find.
Because of this, Cang Lao followed Xiaoqian to search for them. After that, the two of them arrived at the outer islands of the Boundless Sea. However, during one of their search, they actually encountered a group of mysterious people in black robes. They were very powerful, and even with Cang Lao and Xiaoqian's strength, they were actually not their match. In the end, in order to save Xiaoqian, Cang Lao fought them with all his strength, and finally, Xiaoqian was able to escape.
After escaping, Xiaoqian did not give up. Instead, she quietly inquired about the forces that the group belonged to. However, Xiaoqian found out that the organization was too mysterious, and she could not find their headquarters at all. In the end, she only found out that the organization had a very mysterious name, and that was "Shadow of Darkness".
Helpless, Xiaoqian returned to the Oshikaze Empire because she felt that no matter what, she still needed to let Xing Jue know about this matter. Otherwise, if something really happened to Cang Lao in the future, Xing Jue would definitely blame her.
Just now, Xiaoqian had already told Xing Jue everything, and what Xing Jue said just now was the decision made by Xing Jue.
"Xiaoqian, don't worry, I have a way." Xing Jue naturally knew what Xiaoqian was worried about, and he immediately smiled and said.
"Okay."
When Xiaoqian saw Xing Jue's confident smile, she did not say anything else. At this point, she already had no other way. Otherwise, she would not have come to look for Xing Jue. Therefore, at this moment, she naturally followed Xing Jue's orders.
Afterwards, the two of them rushed towards the outer islands of the Endless Sea Region without stopping. Xing Jue's first destination was the headquarters of the Jing Chamber of Commerce. Not only did the Jing Chamber of Commerce have a deep friendship with Xing Jue, they also had some dealings with the mysterious Shadow of Darkness. Therefore, in order to save Cang Lao, Xing Jue naturally had to first understand the strength of the Shadow of Darkness.
After nearly three months of long journey by sea and land, Xing Jue and Xiaoqian finally arrived at the headquarters of the Jing Chamber of Commerce.
"Little friend Xing Jue, aiya, what a rare guest!"
After knowing that Xing Jue had arrived at the Jing Chamber of Commerce, Elder Zhu's face was full of excitement. He enthusiastically brought Xing Jue and Xiaoqian into the main hall.
After a long chat, Xing Jue also learned that after Uncle Pan joined the battle, the entire situation began to change, and they even won. Now, Xu Changqing was already on his way to Yufeng Pavilion, while Uncle Pan had returned to the headquarters of the Coiling Dragon Union. Moreover, the current Jing Chamber of Commerce was no longer called Jing Chamber of Commerce, but directly called the Coiling Dragon Union.
"Elder Zhu, actually, I came here this time because I have a request!" After a long chat, Xing Jue finally spoke of the purpose of this visit.
"Little friend Xing Jue, what are you saying? You are a friend of my president, aren't you treating me as an outsider? "
"What is it? Feel free to speak. As long as the Coiling Dragon Union can help, we will definitely do our best." After hearing Xing Jue's words, Elder Zhu solemnly vowed.
"This matter is really a little troublesome. It's related to the Shadow of Darkness!" After hearing Elder Zhu's promise, Xing Jue slowly said.
"The Shadow of Darkness?"
"Little friend Xing Jue, what exactly is going on? Please speak clearly." After hearing the three words' Shadow of Darkness', Elder Zhu's face turned solemn. After a moment, he solemnly said.
Afterwards, Xing Jue naturally told him everything in detail. Uncle Pan was not an ordinary person. Although he did not know much about Xing Jue's background, he knew that Xing Jue was a little special. Therefore, Xing Jue did not want to hide anything. After all, he definitely had to ask Uncle Pan for help. Otherwise, with his strength of a beginner level Martial God, how could he be a match for the extremely mysterious' Shadow of Darkness'?
What surprised Xing Jue was that after narrating the matter, Elder Zhu did not hesitate at all. Instead, he used a special method to directly report this matter to the headquarters of the Coiling Dragon Union. Moreover, Uncle Pan even promised to rush to the outer islands in the near future. Moreover, he repeatedly warned Xing Jue not to act on his own and to wait for his arrival.
After that, Elder Zhu began to send some of his more capable subordinates to start investigating the recent movements of the Shadow of Darkness.
Under Elder Zhu's arrangements, Xing Jue had no other choice but to prepare to temporarily stay here for a few days.
Xing Jue stood uneasily in front of the pavilion. He looked into the distance and began to ponder.
Old Cang was the only surviving elder of the Spirit Eater Clan. Naturally, Xing Jue was worried about the old man's safety. However, according to Elder Zhu, the Shadow of Darkness might have chased after Old Cang because he was a spiritual body. Since they liked to do such strange things, Xing Jue was a little less worried about Old Cang's safety.
"Kid, you're not simple!"
But at this moment, a voice suddenly rang in Xing Jue's mind. It was Xiaolong, who had been silent for three months.
"Xiaolong, what do you mean?"
After hearing Xiaolong's words, Xing Jue replied in confusion.
"Kid, don't hide it from me. I didn't expect you to be from the Spirit Eater Clan. I really underestimated you." At this moment, Xiaolong said something shocking.
"You … How do you know that I'm from the Spirit Eater Clan?"
However, after hearing Xiaolong's words, Xing Jue was instantly shocked. He could not imagine that Xiaolong, who had lost all his abilities, could actually see that he was from the Spirit Eater Clan.
"Hehe … That girl named Xiaoqian is clearly a Soul Puppet. Soul Puppets are a unique product of the Spirit Eater Clan. Since she calls you Master, you're naturally from the Spirit Eater Clan." Xiaolong said in a logical manner. He actually saw through Xiaoqian's identity.
However, after hearing Xiaolong's words, Xing Jue could not help but admire Xiaolong. He could actually see through Xiaoqian's uniqueness with his sharp eyes. This was not something an ordinary person could do. At this moment, Xing Jue finally began to realize how extraordinary Xiaolong was.
