"Do you know where it is?" Ling Xiao asked indifferently.
Behind him, Savage Leopard quietly appeared and said, "Got it. It's not far from here, but there might be some trouble."
"What trouble?" Ling Xiao asked.
"They're not the only ones who know the whereabouts of the Devil Emperor Flower. Other people also know. You're all from the Violent Dragon Mercenary Group, the number one mercenary group in the Blood Demon Region. After they discovered the Devil Emperor Flower, they've already asked for reinforcements. I believe that those people are already on their way here. Maybe they'll be here soon.
"How strong are the people from the Violent Dragon Mercenary Group?" Ling Xiao asked with narrowed eyes.
"Leader Violent Dragon and Vice Leader Black Dragon are both at the Sky Sovereign level," Savage Leopard replied.
Ling Xiao's eyelids twitched as he cried out, "Their strength is that terrifying?"
He never thought that there would be two Sky Sovereigns in a group of mercenaries.
If they had this kind of strength, they would be comparable to a seventh-grade sect in the Northwest or Southern Region.
"The Blood Demon Region is the intersection of the three lands, and there are abundant resources here. If you are lucky, you can even encounter the Devil Emperor Flower, so there are many mercenary groups here. Among them, the Violent Dragon Mercenary Group, the Night Cat, and the Blood Snake Mercenary Group are the strongest. The Night Cat and the Blood Snake Mercenary Group are from the Northwest and Southern Region, and their strength is considered to be at the top of the Northwest or Southern Region. However, the Violent Dragon Mercenary Group is from the Central Region, and they are much more terrifying than them," Savage Leopard said.
Ling Xiao narrowed his eyes and said, "No wonder. There are many experts in the Central Region, and it's not too much to have two Sky Sovereigns in charge." He paused for a moment before continuing, "Let's go. No matter how strong they are, the Devil Emperor Flower is mine."
After saying that, he brought Savage Leopard and the prodigal boy in a certain direction.
How did Savage Leopard know the secret of those two ugly men?
Needless to say, it was because he had absorbed the souls of those two ugly men and learned the secret of the Devil Emperor Flower from their memories.
Before this, Ling Xiao had already heard the conversation between the one-eyed man and Ye Shuiqing.
The Devil Emperor Flower was a rare spirit flower that was comparable to a Level 7 Spirit Grass. Ling Xiao didn't want to let it go.
With it, Ling Xiao's breakthrough to the Earth Emperor Realm was just around the corner, and he wouldn't encounter any bottlenecks all the way to the high-level Earth Emperor Realm.
This was a great temptation to anyone.
On the way, Ling Xiao handed two Soul Replenishing Pills to the Savage Leopard.
Savage Leopard was overjoyed. What he needed the most right now was to mend the old injuries of his soul. As long as his soul force recovered, his cultivation would also gradually recover.
Of course, if he really wanted to recover to his peak, the other half of Ling Xiao's soul in his sea of consciousness was indispensable.
Savage Leopard put away the Soul Mending Pill. He would consume it after he left the Blood Demon Realm. At that time, his strength would rise to another level.
Why was Ling Xiao so good to Savage Leopard now?
Because before this, he had already felt Savage Leopard's loyalty to him. There was no need to doubt it.
Since that was the case, he would improve him as soon as possible so that he would have an additional layer of protection by his side.
Moreover, he just heard that there were two low-level Empyreans in the No.1 Mercenary Group, Violent Dragon Mercenary Group. Such strength made Ling Xiao feel a sense of crisis.
The Violent Dragon Mercenary Group only represented a small force in the Central Territory. Moreover, it was a very small kind.
They already had two Empyreans. Then what kind of strength would the other forces in other places have?
Ling Xiao didn't dare to imagine. He had already obtained relevant information about the Central Territory from Wei Yelin.
In the Central Territory, the Empyrean rank wasn't the most powerful. There were still the terrifying existences of the Emperor rank above it. Even the existence of the Sage rank wasn't impossible.
The Emperor rank were the ancestor-level old monsters of their respective sects or clans. As for the Sage rank, very few people had seen the appearance of such a level of character, but it didn't mean that they didn't exist.
The strength of the Emperor rank was something Ling Xiao had seen with his own eyes.
The might of that Great World could simply destroy the world. In front of it, the Empyrean rank was like a child facing an adult, unable to withstand a single blow.
Therefore, Ling Xiao urgently wanted to increase his strength, and the people around him also had to be raised as soon as possible.
He deceived Wei Linlin and Ye Shuiqing to leave, naturally because he didn't want them to share the Demon Emperor Flower with him.
People were all selfish, not to mention that Ling Xiao had already saved Ye Shuiqing twice. He had already done his best.
The sky gradually brightened, and the first ray of sunlight had already begun to shine on the forest.
Ling Xiao and the other two quickly ran through the forest.
One terrifying spirit beast after another wanted to come out and attack, but feeling the divine beast aura emitted by the prodigal, they didn't dare to come out and provoke him.
It wasn't that they weren't stronger than the prodigal, but that spirit beasts were very particular about the influence of their bloodline.
The bloodline of a divine beast was supreme, and the other low-level bloodline spirit beasts would unconsciously be suppressed and submit.
The three of them continuously flew at high speed for a long time. Ling Xiao couldn't help but ask, "How much longer until we arrive?"
Savage Leopard pointed to the front and said, "It shouldn't be far ahead. We'll arrive in about an hour."
Ling Xiao became more and more excited.
Although there were many spirit flowers and herbs in his cauldron, top-grade spirit herbs like the Demon Emperor Flower were extremely rare.
He had to obtain the Demon Emperor Flower on this trip.
However, the three of them had just advanced for a while when they sensed a strong energy fluctuation in front of them.
Ling Xiao waved his hand to stop the two of them.
At this time, two strong men jumped out from both sides of the forest.
Both of them had the strength of a high-level King Stage, and their killing aura was released, allowing people to clearly feel their blood and killing intent.
"Get out of here immediately, or die!" one of them said faintly.
The prodigal was about to make a move, but Ling Xiao stopped him.
Ling Xiao waved his hand and said, "Let's go!"
Without another word, he brought Savage Leopard and the prodigal and immediately retreated more than two thousand meters away.
"Boss, why are you afraid of them? I can kill them with one punch!" the prodigal said unhappily.
"Don't be impulsive, let them consume some of their energy first!" Ling Xiao revealed a sly smile and said.
Savage Leopard looked at Ling Xiao's evil smile and knew that his young master already had a plan.
At this time, a strong wave of spiritual energy sounded.
Rumble!
The forest in front of Ling Xiao and the others was instantly blown up. The sky was also filled with a powerful scorching light, illuminating the surrounding area with a red light.
Roar!
Following that, another beast's roar shook the sky.
The power of the beast's roar seemed to be very terrifying, causing the surroundings to shake.
At this time, dozens of figures flew up from the ground.
Ling Xiao looked up and realized that these people were wearing the same clothes as the two people just now. They must be from the Violent Dragon Mercenary Group.
Savage Leopard said indifferently, "The one with the double sickle hooks is the Violent Dragon, and the other one with the mace is the Black Dragon. They have six Earth Emperor Stage and 32 King Stage."
"What a powerful strength!" Ling Xiao clenched his fists and looked at the sky, a strong desire to fight rising in his heart.
At the same time, a huge beast shadow also slowly rose.
This was a peak Rank 6 Spirit Beast, a Magic Armored Leopard that could break through to Rank 7 at any time.
This Magic Armored Leopard was the spirit beast guarding the Magic Emperor Flower, a powerful dark attribute spirit beast.
Its fur was incomparably black, and there were even ferocious spikes growing out of its back. It looked as if it had added a set of spiked armor to its body, giving off a terrifying aura.
"Good … what a good Magic Armored Leopard, so mighty. No wonder I, Savage Leopard, felt excited when I came here. This guy is mine!" Savage Leopard looked at the huge Magic Armored Leopard and licked his lips excitedly.
Savage Leopard cultivated the dark attribute, and this Magic Armored Leopard happened to also be of the dark attribute. Moreover, its level was not low, so Savage Leopard was naturally happy to see it.
However, Ling Xiao was puzzled, "Since there is a Magic Armored Leopard guarding it, how dare they have designs on the Magic Emperor Flower?"
It was also at this time that Violent Dragon roared in the sky, "Quickly set up an inescapable net!"
As his voice fell, the Earth Emperor Stage and dozens of King Stage warriors moved at the same time.
Swoosh!
Tiny steel wires with a cold aura shot out from their hands.
These tiny steel wires were difficult to see with the naked eye, but they carried a strong sense of sharpness that could be sensed.
The Magic Armored Leopard, relying on its powerful strength, didn't seem to care about these tiny steel wires.
It pounced towards the few King Stage experts closest to it.
Puff!
It bit off the head of one of the King Stage warriors. The King Stage warrior next to him wanted to escape, but unfortunately, he was ruthlessly smashed into meat paste by its other claw.
The Magic Armored Leopard was in high spirits, and just as it was about to pounce towards the others, dozens of small steel wires appeared on its body and tied it up.
Its fierce eyes revealed a disdainful look, and its body continued to pounce forward.
As it moved, the Tyrannosaurus roared, "Tie it up!"
Everyone immediately scattered in all directions, holding tightly onto the small steel wire in their hands.
Roar!
Roar! The Magic Armored Leopard's body tensed up, and the dozens of small steel wires fiercely embedded into its flesh armor. Streaks of blood flowed out incessantly, and it roared in pain.
The Magic Armored Leopard flipped in the air, and the dozens of people unconsciously panicked.
But as the Magic Armored Leopard flipped, the small steel wires tightened, and the blood flowed even faster.
At this time, Violent Dragon gave Black Dragon a look, and the two took out their spirit weapons and madly attacked the Magic Armored Leopard.
Rumble!
Cruel Leopard said anxiously, "Oh no, that's Ten Thousand Coiling Silk. The Magic Armored Leopard definitely can't resist it. Young Master, let's make a move!"
He didn't want the spirit beast he had just taken a fancy to die in front of him.
"What's the hurry? The Magic Armored Leopard can't die so easily." Ling Xiao slightly frowned.
He didn't expect that the other party would have such a method to trap a spirit beast at the peak of the sixth rank with a small amount of Ten Thousand Coiling Silk.
This was truly out of his expectations.
At the same time, Ling Xiao was thinking about the Ten Thousand Coiling Silk.
If he could seize the Ten Thousand Coiling Silk and give it to his eight generals to use, perhaps it would be another mysterious winning weapon.
After a series of violent attacks, the Magic Armored Leopard's breath clearly weakened, and the injuries on its body seemed to have worsened.
However, this aroused an unprecedented anger.
Roar!
It let out a loud roar, finally displaying all of its anger.
