It was still the same black room, the same black figure, standing respectfully at the door.
"Mercenary City's Ding Tian challenged Ling Tian?" It was still the same old voice, but now it sounded surprised.
"Yes, I am. Everything was going well, but Ding Tian's interference messed up everything.”
"Oh? After Ding Tian left, Phorcus and the others did not make a move.”
"No, I haven't. At that time, Ling Tian and the other two were already at the end of their rope, and Phorcus naturally didn't want to let go of such a good opportunity. However, the strange thing was that the 20 Silver Fighters who wanted to kill Ling Tian actually opposed it together and even threatened Phorcus that if he dared to make a move, they would turn against him and kill him.”
"With Ding Tian's reputation in the mercenary world, those mercenaries will naturally listen to him. It seems like Ling Tian and the other two have safely arrived at Star Dream Empire.”
"Yes, I am. They were resting on a mountain called Gutai Mountain in Star Dream Empire.”
"Have you investigated Lingtian's identity?”
"No, I haven't. Other than knowing everything that happened after he came out with Drinkel, he had nothing to do with anything else.”
"Since Ding Tian helped him so much, he should know his identity. Ding Tian's appearance was not accidental. You can go first and continue to keep an eye on Ling Tian. The influence of the Fury Slash will not be completely lost just because of Ding Tian.”
"Yes." The black shadow bowed respectfully and left.
"Mercenary City, oh Mercenary City, you're here to ruin my plans again. I destroyed you ten thousand years ago, and I can destroy you again ten thousand years later! It's coming, it's coming, hehe…"
Who was living in this house? What grudge did he have with Mercenary City? How did he know that Mercenary City had been destroyed ten thousand years ago? What did he mean by coming soon?
Star Dream Empire, on the ancient mountain, two thin figures sat on a huge rock in the middle of the mountain. One had long hair fluttering in the wind and looked elegant, while the other was slender and delicate.
Ling Tian closed his eyes and felt the lightness of the wind, the coldness of autumn, and the spiritual energy of the mountains and rivers. His heart was at peace. However, his mind was filled with the scenes of the intense battle in the Luo Sha River, especially the shock that Ding Tian had given him. The aura that made him unable to look up. Was this the strength of a peak expert? How far am I from this step? How could he break through? What kind of realm would one reach after breaking through?
In such a peaceful environment, Ling Tian could sense something, but he could not grasp it. He could not help but mutter,""Heaven and earth, nature, all living things…"
At this moment, Ling Tian's body seemed to be exuding a natural aura that complemented the heavens and earth. It was as if he was an extension of the heavens and earth, a product of nature.
Xingyu heard Ling Tian's murmurs as he chanted about the world, the myriad beings, and nature. Although she did not understand, she could feel something in her heart and gradually calmed down.
In the forest behind the rock, a rustling sound could be heard. Although the sound was soft, it immediately broke the silence and woke Ling Tian and Xingyu up. The two of them turned around to look at the source of the sound, only to see Li Feng and Li Xue leading the two of them out of the forest and appearing in a slightly flat open space.
Looking at the two of them, Ling Tian was stunned for a moment. He actually recognized one of them, and even now, he could still clearly remember that it was the first person he had challenged. He would always remember his first experience so clearly.
Cocus clearly knew of Ling Tian's existence and did not look surprised. However, looking at Ling Tian now, he felt a lot of emotions. A year ago, he had been defeated by this young man, and it was by that shocking sword strike. Ever since he had fought with him, he had won over twenty battles in a row. This young man's reputation had skyrocketed, and he had become the most famous person in the past year. He had even attracted the admiration of the King of Mercenaries, and this peak figure of the continent had personally invited him to battle.
The current youth seemed to have changed a lot. The increase in age would definitely make him appear more mature, but it gave him a clearer impression that his aura was much more peaceful, his expression was not as cold, and his eyes did not have the sharp and murderous feeling from before.
"Hello! Young man!" After feeling a little emotional, Cocus immediately returned to normal and greeted Ling Tian in a friendly manner. He did not hate Ling Tian for defeating him, but rather admired such a young expert.
"Ling Tian!" His tone was very calm, but those who knew him well knew that he had a good impression and admiration for Cocus.
Cocus was stunned at first, but then he reacted. He couldn't help but think of the scene when the young man defeated him and was about to leave. When he asked his name, he just waved at him. At that time, his back made him look up.
"Cocus! This is my leader, Sisax. Our mercenary group is called the Westwood Mercenary Group.”Cocus pointed at another person who was with him and introduced him.
"Brother Ling Tian, I've known Sicax for many years, so we'll go with them to the Cloud Dream Empire this time. This way, our whereabouts won't be exposed so easily.”Li Feng continued.
Ling Tian nodded his head in greeting. Ling Tian also understood that it would be easier to hide in the crowd. He didn't expect Li Feng and Li Xue to be so thoughtful, and he couldn't help but feel a little warm in his heart.
Sicakes smiled at Ling Tian in response to his greeting. "I didn't expect to meet Brother Li by chance this time. I'm really happy." If we were a day late, we would have set off for the Yunye Empire. Last night, everyone was talking about the exciting battle between the three of you and the 30 Silver Fighters in Luo Sha River, as well as the challenge from the King of Mercenaries, Lord Ding Tian. Today, everyone is going to some lively areas to go shopping. I want to try my luck and see if I can meet the three of you and see your elegance. I didn't expect to meet Big Brother Li and Second Brother Li, haha…"
**
"Haha, old friend, fate will decide for us to meet. The battle last night was the same. If not for your Mercenary City's King of Mercenaries, Ding Tian, appearing in time, the three of us would have been reincarnated. I'm ashamed!" Although what Li Feng said was the truth, to be able to stand out among thirty top-notch experts of the same level and wield his sword and slash his sword, his courage and aura were indeed worthy of praise.
"Big Brother Li, you don't have to be so humble. Big Brother Li and Second Brother Li's fame is not only resounding in the world of thieves, but also in our mercenary world.”Cocus interrupted.
"Alright, alright, don't be so polite. It was better to talk about the details of this trip to the Yunye Empire first. Although most people would not dare to have any designs on it because of Mister Ding Tian, it was still better to be careful.”Li Xue's personality was indeed straightforward and went straight to the point.
"That's right. After all, who wouldn't want a supreme-grade spiritual weapon like the Fury Slash for themselves? The Thieves 'World, the Four Great Empires, and even the Warrior Union and the Mage Union might send experts to snatch it.”Li Feng was also a little worried.
"However, there's no need to worry too much. Who would have thought that Brother Ling Tian would be hiding in our West Wood Mercenary Company? It's just that Brother Ling Tian's attire is too eye-catching. If it was in the past, it would still be alright. There were adoring fans of Brother Ling Tian everywhere, and carrying a sword on his back and having long hair fluttering in the wind had practically become a trend, so it naturally wouldn't attract too much attention. However, ever since those three pieces of news were spread, no one else dressed like this.”Sicakes voiced his opinion.
"You mean to dress up as a decoration? This is indeed a good idea. It would be best if he could make a few sets of Westwood Mercenary Group's clothes in a hurry. That way, it would be more foolproof. Brother Ling Tian, what do you think?" Li Feng agreed with Ling Tian and thus asked for his opinion.
Ling Tian also knew that this was the best solution and nodded his head. He slowly untied the Fury Slash and took out the simple and elegant box that he had used to store the Fury Slash from his interspatial ring. When the sword and the box approached each other, they seemed to sense each other and emitted a strong cold air. Then, the two of them let out a low cry as if they were telling each other something.
"It is indeed strange, truly inconceivable. If he hadn't seen it with his own eyes, he wouldn't have believed that such a spiritual artifact was actually man-made and not born from heaven and earth. It was truly a masterpiece!”Everyone clicked their tongues, their shock evident in their expressions.
Ling Tian kept his Furious Severing Sword and tied his hair up with a scarf. These two distinctive features had changed, and if one didn't know him, it would be difficult to recognize him. Other than his cold expression and sharp gaze, he was not much different from an ordinary thirteen-year-old child.
Was this the person who had shocked the entire continent? Now, it seemed that he was still a child. Could it be that he was really old? Feng and the other three couldn't help but sigh.
Star City was built next to the Luo Sha River. Outside the western entrance was the Louxing Port. It was the first stop for business between the Star Dream Empire, the Bright Moon Empire, and Mercenary City. The entire city had a rich commercial atmosphere, which made it seem particularly bustling and lively. Mercenaries and people from the Bright Moon Empire could be seen everywhere in this city. Business did not care about national boundaries. As long as you were a businessman and did not violate the laws of the Star Dream Empire, the city gates would be open for you.
"Leader, vice leader, where have you been? Why are you only back now?”In a tavern called Fate Dream Tavern in Deep Star City, the members of the Westwood Mercenary Corps greeted their captain and vice captain happily when they saw them return.
"Hehe, the two of us went out to do serious business. We're not like you idlers who call three or four people to go shopping when we have nothing to do.”Cocus teased.
"Brother Cocus, you've misunderstood us. We're not going shopping. We're looking for our idol and preparing to learn from him.”The other one laughed.
"Idol? Master?" This time, it was Sykes and Cocus 'turn to be stunned.
"Yes, I am. Today, everyone was looking for that young man and the three hot-blooded men, Li Feng and Li Xue. They were prepared to learn some skills from them so that they could become famous in the future!”
"You still want to be famous on the continent? Little Dick, nice dream. Did you find it?”Sicakes teased.
"Not yet. If I found it, would I still be staying here and drinking? Perhaps they had already learned some unfathomable skills.”Although his tone was a little low, everyone could see that he did not have the slightest regret on his face.
"Hehe, you can continue dreaming at night. Perhaps he could practice a peerless divine technique in his dreams!”
"Haha!"
…………………
"Oh right, I forgot. Let me introduce you. These four will be members of our Westwood Mercenary Group in the future. I hope everyone will get along well in the future.”Sikesi pointed at the four of them.
"The four of them? Guild Leader, why are you kidnapping young men and women?”Looking at Ling Tian and Xingyu, one of them teased.
" Hahaha!" The entire room burst into laughter again.
"Right, Guild Leader, what are their names?”someone interrupted.
"Name? If you have the ability, ask him yourself. Oh right, Little Dick, go to the clothing store and make the Westwood Mercenary Group's mercenary uniforms for the four of them. We're going to the Cloudy Night Empire tomorrow. Everyone, drink less tonight, understand?”
"Don't worry, Guild Leader, you're so long-winded!”Everyone responded and continued to play. Little Dick brought the four of them to a clothing store.
By the time the four of them returned to the tavern, it was already late at night. The four of them returned to their respective rooms. Through the open window, Ling Tian looked up at the dark night sky, allowing the autumn wind to blow against his face as he sighed in his heart," There were no stars in the night sky tonight. There was only a bright moon hanging in the sky. It seemed so lonely. Was it as confused as me at this moment? Did it not know where the road was under its feet? Did it not know what would be waiting for it when the sun appeared tomorrow?
He looked at the night sky and seemed to have merged into the endless darkness, appearing so lonely and sad. Suddenly, he vaguely felt a pair of bright eyes staring at him. When he tried to sense it again, it was useless. Could it be that he was hallucinating?
"What keen senses. To be able to discover my existence, you are indeed a genius. At such a young age, he was almost able to merge into nature and comprehend the Way of Heaven. Unfortunately, his state of mind had not yet been unified, and he had not been able to understand the Way of Nature. The concentration of his spirit, qi, and spirit was also far from being able to do so. Otherwise, he would not have lost his mind and fallen into a lower position because of a little movement in the outside world.”Siamon murmured. Her expression was one of pity and surprise.
"However, who is that black shadow opposite us? Why did he pay so much attention to that young man? Could it be because of the Furious Sword?" Xi Yameng looked at the black shadow that had been hiding in a restaurant opposite the Dream Inn and speculated in her heart.
As for the black shadow, it was still monitoring the movements of Ling Tian and the others, not realizing that its whereabouts had already been discovered. This was the difference in level and strength.
