When it came to the details of the merger, Xiao Lingyu was shocked to find out that the Tianchi Iron Armor Regiment wasn't an independent mercenary group. Instead, it belonged to a large mercenary group called the Tianchi Mercenary Group.
The Tianchi Mercenary Group wasn't located in Duhu City, but in a high-class city that was more than ten times larger than Duhu City. The Tianchi Iron Armor Regiment was only a branch of the Tianchi Mercenary Group. In terms of the overall strength of the Tianchi Mercenary Group, even if all the forces in Duhu City were combined, they would still be far inferior.
With such a powerful background, it was no wonder that the regiment commander dared to accept Wildfire. No matter how angry the Butler and the Qi Clan were, they wouldn't dare to cause trouble for the Tianchi Iron Armor Regiment.
Although the sloppy Divine King of the Qi family was sometimes crazy, such as the time when he caused the Tianchi Iron Armor Team to fall into the river, that was just a joke. If there really was a big conflict, the Divine King of the Qi family would have to worry a lot.
"Actually, the Tianchi Iron Armor Regiment is already preparing to leave Duhu City. It's hard for us to grow here, and it's also hard for us to recruit Divine King experts. Moreover, we haven't achieved much in the past few years, so the higher-ups have already informed us to return to the headquarters. Since you can't stay in Duhu City anymore, we can all move to a high-class city to seek greater development, "the regiment commander explained.
"That's great!" Xiao Lingyu nodded.
The reason why Xiao Lingyu wanted to merge Wildfire into the Tianchi Iron Armor Regiment was to find a home for Wildfire and also to tide over this crisis. He didn't have any plans for the development of the mercenary group. If he could join the Tianchi Mercenary Group, Wildfire's cultivators would be very happy.
After the merger was settled, Xiao Lingyu asked Guan Yiyuan and the others to gather the scattered Wildfire's mercenaries and regroup with the Tianchi Iron Armor Regiment.
The Tianchi Iron Armor Regiment was already preparing to leave, but they hadn't decided when to leave. With the addition of Wildfire, the regiment commander made up his mind to leave in the next few days. He had already informed the people left in the camp to regroup with the main group.
Many of the Wildfire cultivators were captured by the Steward, the Qi Family, and the city guards as they approached the Tianchi Iron Armor Squad. However, most of them still managed to gather.
The Tianchi Iron Armor Regiment didn't enter Duhu City. They camped at the edge of the Floating Xu Mountain Range, resting and waiting for the people in the city to arrive. They were ready to leave at any time.
During this time, the Butler, the Qi Family, and the City Lord's Manor all sent people over to negotiate. However, the confident and powerful regiment commander did not give them any face at all. They could only leave resentfully.
These large families and forces naturally knew the background of the Tianchi Iron Armor Team. They didn't dare to use forceful means to deal with the Tianchi Iron Armor Team.
On the surface, Xiao Lingyu wasn't part of the Tianchi Iron Armor Clan. After all, he had committed a serious crime. The Tianchi Iron Armor Clan couldn't openly protect him. Of course, he didn't need anyone's protection. He just needed to hide from the Godkings in Duhu City.
Even though the Qi Family and the Butler invited the City Lord of Duhu City, the regiment commander of the Tianchi Iron Armor Clan only received them politely. He wouldn't hand Wildfire over to the Butler.
Previously, the Tianchi Iron Armor Regiment had suffered heavy losses during the mission, and this commander was still worried about how to explain it to the headquarters. The addition of the Flowing Fire Mercenary Group directly solved this problem of his. Under such circumstances, he definitely wouldn't back down.
The Butler could only accept it helplessly.
As for the Qi Family, they were looking for Xiao Lingyu. Since Xiao Lingyu wasn't part of the Tianchi Iron Armor Clan, they naturally had no reason to cause trouble in the Tianchi Iron Armor Clan. They didn't dare to cause trouble either.
In less than three days, the Tianchi Iron Armor Clan officially set off. They took out three large airships. Each airship carried more than three thousand people.
The three airships were of the quality of high-grade divine artifacts. They slowly rose into the air and quickly disappeared into the horizon.
Xiao Lingyu was also on one of the airships. He looked relaxed and leisurely. There was nothing in Duhu City that he was reluctant to leave. He didn't have any regrets either. The only thing that he was slightly worried about was Yueru.
However, Yueru was no longer the little medicine master who hadn't even reached the Heavenly God stage. Her heart had already turned to ashes. She definitely wouldn't cause any trouble. She wouldn't even go to places with a lot of people. With her current strength, she should have no problem protecting herself.
The airship was actually heading in the same direction as the river outside Duhu City. The destination of this flight was the high-level city of Tai-an City.
Tai-an City was at the downstream of the river. It wasn't too far from Duhu City. With the speed of this high-grade divine artifact, it would take at most five years to reach Tai-an City.
During this five years journey, they wouldn't have to cross many dangerous places. Ordinary robbers and bandits wouldn't dare to stop such a large airship.
The enormous Floating Catkin Mountain Range had a slender sharp angle in the direction of the airship. The river also passed through that sharp angle. It was only when they passed through that sharp angle that they might encounter danger.
Although the days of travel were leisurely, Xiao Lingyu didn't practice the Inverse Mystic Realm in front of so many people. Instead, he closed his eyes and meditated on his cultivation technique.
After flying at full speed for two years, the airship arrived at the sharp angle of the Floating Catkin Mountain Range. Under the reminder of the Tianchi Iron Armor Clan's commander, everyone was on high alert and prepared to enter the battle at any time.
The sharp angle of the Floating Catkin Mountain Range was full of lofty mountains and precipitous cliffs on both sides of the river.
After passing through this slender Floating Catkin Mountain Range, they would arrive at Tai-an City after flying for another two years.
This mountain range was the only dangerous place for the Tianchi Iron Armor Clan to return to their headquarters. However, under normal circumstances, even if they were extremely unlucky, they would only encounter a God King Stage demonic beast that came out from the depths of the Floating Catkin Mountain Range.
If this wasn't a safe route, the Tianchi Iron Armor Clan wouldn't have passed through it. Even if they were unlucky enough to encounter a God King Stage demonic beast, the Tianchi Iron Armor Clan would still be able to fend it off.
The God King Stage demonic beast that they were worried about didn't appear. However, when the three airships entered the center of the sharp angle of the Floating Catkin Mountain Range, a large number of God Monarch Stage demonic beasts along with countless Heaven God and Great God Stage demonic beasts pounced on them.
The danger level of this situation was second only to encountering a God King Stage demonic beast. This was within the expectations of the Tianchi Iron Armor Clan's commander.
The three airships continued to move forward in a triangular formation. As a God King Stage expert, the commander naturally sat in the front airship and constantly bombarded the front with divine light attacks.
The two airships at the back were also equipped with offensive capabilities. They were mainly responsible for attacking the demonic beasts that pounced on them from both sides.
The three airships had opened many hatches and the mercenaries inside the airships were constantly bombarding the demonic beasts. With everyone's tacit cooperation, the three airships didn't slow down.
Xiao Lingyu observed for a while and found that there weren't many demonic beasts in this group. Moreover, there weren't any God King Stage experts among them. Therefore, he unfolded his wings and flew out of the airship.
Under the continuous attacks of the three airships and the Tianchi Iron Armor Clan's experts, there were demonic beasts that were severely injured. The reason why Xiao Lingyu came out was to collect the bodies of these demonic beasts, especially those at the God Monarch Stage.
As the saying went, the skilled were always bold. Xiao Lingyu had an extremely fast short-distance movement speed as well as an extremely strong bodily defense. Even if those birds with a cultivation at the late Divine Lord realm attacked him together, he didn't fear them at all. After all, he wasn't too far away from the airship and the mercenaries in the airship would help him attack those birds that dared to approach.
The demonic beasts' attack lasted less than an hour. Perhaps they felt that the three airships were too powerful, so they chose to retreat in the end.
The three airships adjusted slightly and continued to move forward at their original speed.
After returning to the airship, Xiao Lingyu gave all the demonic beasts he captured to the mercenaries. As for the demonic beasts that were at the God Monarch Stage, he put them into Foodie's Spiritual Beast Pouch.
Xiao Lingyu's strength had improved a lot recently. Naturally, he wouldn't let Foodie's strength fall behind.
Foodie's appetite was huge. It could devour all the demonic beasts in one go. However, it fell asleep again soon after waking up.
As the airships continued to move forward, they were besieged by demonic beasts a few times. However, they were scared but not in danger.
Naturally, Xiao Lingyu would also take action every time. He would collect the bodies of the Demonic Beasts that everyone and the airship had killed or injured. He would directly send away the Heavenly Deity Stage Demonic Beasts. He would also send away a portion of the Divine Monarch Stage Demonic Beasts. After all, the foodie had already fallen asleep and would not be able to eat for a short period of time.
As planned, it took the three airships almost five years to travel from Hushu City to Tai-an City.
Tai-an City was also built next to the river. It wasn't far from the Floating Catkin Mountain Range. However, from afar, Tai-an City looked like an endless mountain range. It gave people a strong sense of shock and oppression from afar.
Duhu City wasn't too far away from Tai-an City. As an Intermediate City, Duhu City should belong to Tai-an City. However, that wasn't the case. Duhu City was under the jurisdiction of another Advanced City. It was just at the edge of the jurisdiction.
The Tianchi Mercenary Army mainly developed in Tai-an City. The reason why they sent the Tianchi Armored Army to Hushu City was because they wanted to expand their influence in the neighboring region. However, the result wasn't ideal because they couldn't get the support of the higher-ups in the other region.
The three airships stopped by the river and were put away by the commander. The 10,000 members of the Tianchi Armored Army reorganized themselves. They didn't enter the city because the Tianchi Mercenary Army's headquarters wasn't in the city.
