Wei Daier suddenly made such a decision, causing everyone to be stunned.
Ling Xiao said, "Dai'er, stop messing around. You can just follow me and cultivate in the future."
Now that Ling Xiao had become the leader of the group, and Wei Daier's identity had been confirmed, he no longer called her sister. Instead, he called her by her name, which was more intimate.
Ling Xiao could feel Wei Daier's thoughts, but he didn't want Wei Daier to take such a risk. Moreover, most of the mercenaries that she mingled with were ruffians who killed without batting an eye. If anything happened to her, Ling Xiao would be blamed for it for the rest of his life.
"Xiao, I don't want to stay by your side and become a burden to you. I can also help you. My current strength is too weak. I feel that I can only grow faster through tempering myself. In the future, I can also help you conquer the world." Wei Daier held Ling Xiao's hand, her beautiful eyes filled with determination as she spoke.
Ling Xiao immediately refused, "No, those mercenaries are all cruel and merciless people. How can I bear to let you face that predicament? Stay by my side, I won't let you suffer!"
"No … You don't understand. I'm not willing to live a mediocre life like this. I don't want to wait until you become an emperor or a saint in the future and I still have nothing to do. Xiao, let me go. I definitely won't drag everyone down," Wei Daier pleaded.
Just as Ling Xiao wanted to say something, Cai Xiayue said from the side, "Let sister Daier go. With the Poison Master protecting her, she should be fine."
"But …" Ling Xiao still wanted to say something, but he was once again interrupted by Cai Xiayue, "If you force Dai'er to stay by your side, she will not be happy for the rest of her life. She should have her own path to walk. We should respect her, shouldn't we?"
"Sister Yue is right. If I stay by your side forever and let you protect me, then I will be no different from a cripple. I will feel very unhappy. Xiao, please allow me to make a decision this time, okay?" Wei Daier begged again.
This time, Ling Xiao was speechless.
He was thinking about Wei Daier's safety, but he neglected her feelings. She also needed to live an exciting life.
Looking at her pleading eyes, Ling Xiao sighed and said, "Alright, since you're so persistent, I won't force you. But remember, you have to be careful, don't try to show off."
"Yes, thank you for your smile. I won't disappoint you," Wei Daier replied happily.
At this time, Ling Xiao looked at Feng Xianyun, Cai Xiayue, and Bai Yuxi, and said indifferently, "Do you have any other thoughts?"
Since even Wei Daier wanted to go out and explore the world, he didn't know if the rest of them had the same idea. He had to ask them about it.
Even though they were his women, Ling Xiao felt that it was necessary to respect their opinions.
Feng Xianyun was the first to declare, "I don't want to leave you!"
Feng Xianyun was a priestess of the Gu Clan, and the people of the Gu Clan had always been faithful to their feelings. They would never be half-hearted.
Even though Ling Xiao had broken her Love Gu, her feelings for Ling Xiao were still the same. She couldn't leave Ling Xiao. She knew she couldn't do it.
Cai Xiayue also echoed, "I don't want to leave you either!"
Ling Xiao was not surprised by the two women's attitude, and it also made Ling Xiao feel satisfied. After all, his life was lacking women.
Finally, his gaze fell on Bai Yuxi.
Bai Yuxi said helplessly, "Young Master … I … I don't know how to choose, I … I just want to stay by Young Master's side and take care of you, but I'm afraid that Young Master will think that I'm not good enough …"
Bai Yuxi's heart was very conflicted. Her thoughts were actually very simple, she only wanted to be her Young Master's personal maid, and did not want to do anything else, but as Ling Xiao became stronger and stronger, more and more women would gather around him. Even Wei Daier felt a sense of crisis, so how could she not be aware of it?
She wanted to stay by Ling Xiao's side, but she was afraid that she would be ignored in the future. However, to let her join the mercenary group like Wei Daier and spend her days in slaughter, she felt that it was too terrifying. Who asked her to be born weak? For a moment, she didn't know what to do.
Ling Xiao lightly held her shoulders and said, "Yuxi, you stay by my side!"
Bai Yuxi was a woman who deserved to be cherished. Ling Xiao didn't dare to let her go like Wei Daier did.
After he established his power, he planned to hand all the servants over to Bai Yuxi to manage. This could be considered as giving her something to do.
Everyone had been arranged, and everyone was ready to leave.
Savage Leopard was the strongest among the group. He forcefully blasted a hole in the space, and countless sand and wind poured down from above.
Everyone was already prepared, and they all shot towards the ground.
When everyone was in midair, the original space had caved in.
Everyone took a deep look at the ground and started a new journey.
The nine Blood Phoenix Eagles had already advanced to the sixth rank, and with them leading the way, it looked extraordinary.
"Fraud, where is this place?
How far is it from the Wind Capital? "Ling Xiao asked Xuan Yao.
When he was brought here by the Evil Emperor, he didn't even see the road clearly. Now, he felt abnormally confused about this boundless desert.
"This is the Desert of Wind, and it is indeed the Feng Clan's territory, but it is already very far away from the Wind Capital. If we return to the Wind Capital from here, it will take at least a month to fly at full speed," Xuan Yao replied.
"What, this place is already so far away from the Wind Capital?
I remember when Master brought me here, it seemed like it only took a short while to arrive here, "Ling Xiao cried out in surprise.
Savage Leopard interrupted from the side, "The Evil Emperor is already a Saint, and he can tear through space to fly. His speed is naturally not something we can compare with. If I fly at full speed back to the Wind Capital, I estimate that it will take about half a month."
"That's right, the higher the strength, the faster the flying speed, not to mention the speed of a Saint," Xuan Yao replied. He then said, "Right now, we are not returning to the Wind Capital, but to the Sand Sky City. It is closer to here, and once we arrive at the Sand Sky City, it will be time to split up."
"No problem, I will listen to you, fraud," Ling Xiao nodded.
Everyone flew in the Desert of Wind, and from time to time, some Sand-Piercing Beasts that existed in the desert appeared.
The strongest of the Sand-Piercing Beasts were at the high stage of the fourth stage, and they were just the right opponents for everyone to practice with.
In this desert, they could occasionally find some yellow sand and stones needed for refining, and they were all happily collected by Tang Guoguo.
After flying for about thirteen days, they finally arrived at the Sand Sky City.
This was a city that existed at the edge of the desert, and the surrounding walls were like an iron fortress, completely isolating the wind and sand.
Although the walls were sturdy, after thousands of years, or even tens of thousands of years of wind and sand erosion, they had also become yellow spots.
After arriving at the Sand Sky City, Ling Xiao distributed some elixirs and spirit herbs to everyone, so that they could hold on to them for emergencies. At the same time, he told them to take out a few elixirs and auction them off when they reached the other cities, as a way to earn their first Xuan Crystals.
In the Central Region, it was impossible to survive without Xuan Crystals.
"The Thousand Broken Mountain Range is a famous dangerous place in the Central Region. Opportunities and dangers always coexist, so you must be careful!" Ling Xiao warned.
"Don't worry, Young Master, we will definitely survive!" Poison Scorpion replied, and the others nodded firmly.
"I also believe that you will succeed!" Ling Xiao replied.
Xuan Yao said, "In ten years, you will constantly hear about the young master's deeds. After ten years, you will naturally know where to find the young master."
Poison Scorpion, Lone Eagle, Li Kuanghu, Cold Snake, Wei Dai'er, and the eight generals all bowed to Ling Xiao, then took the lead and set off on the journey to the Thousand Broken Mountain Range.
Looking at the group of people leaving, Ling Xiao felt a lot of emotions in his heart. At the same time, he was also looking forward to the next time he saw them.
Next, Hua Xiaogui and Tang Guoguo also had to go to the Martial Spirit City of the Central Region.
"The Martial Spirit City is different from other places. It is the true holy land of the Central Region, and countless people want to enter the Martial Spirit Court and become a part of it. Although the two of you are Tenbin outstanding, it is still a waste that you were not discovered by the higher-ups of the Martial Spirit Court. Here is a brocade pouch. When you arrive at the Martial Spirit Court, open the brocade pouch and follow the instructions in the brocade pouch. You will obtain your own opportunities. Remember, do not open the brocade pouch until you arrive at the Martial Spirit Court. You must be cautious along the way, do not make enemies with others, and endure everything!"
Xuan Yao passed the two brocade pouches to Hua Xiaogui and Tang Guoguo respectively.
Hua Xiaogui and Tang Guoguo replied in unison, "Yes, Military Advisor!"
"En, if you can enter the Martial Spirit Court, then in the future, you will also be as famous as the young master in the Central Region. I hope you will cherish this opportunity and do not disappoint the young master!" Xuan Yao seemed to think highly of the two of them, and his eyes revealed a look of admiration.
"Little Turtle, Guoguo, this young master has high hopes for the two of you. Do not make the boss lose face!" Ling Xiao heavily patted the two of them on the shoulder and said encouragingly.
Hua Xiaogui could not help but hug Ling Xiao tightly. With a reluctant tone, he said, "Boss, Little Turtle will definitely not lose face for you."
Hua Xiaogui's friendship with Ling Xiao was like that of a brother, and it was difficult for others to understand. He secretly decided that no matter how high his achievements in the future, he would always be the boss's little brother, and would never betray the boss.
"Boss, you tricked me from the Southern Wasteland to here, and then you kicked me to the other side. It is really not good, but you are the first person that I, Tang Guoguo, admire. In the future, when I become a Sacred Tool Master, I will definitely make you a peerless Sacred Tool!" Tang Guoguo heavily punched Ling Xiao on the shoulder.
Along the way, Tang Guoguo had been completely convinced by Ling Xiao's ability. Not only did he have monstrous combat strength, he also had such a loyal and powerful follower, and he also had the noble identity of a Sixth Grade Alchemist. All of these made him deeply convinced.
In the future, he must become a Spiritual Tool Master, or even a Sacred Tool Master, side by side with Ling Xiao and become famous in the Central Region!
"Good, I will wait for the time when you return from your studies, but at that time, you must be prepared. This young master will not wait for you, haha!" Ling Xiao said with a heroic laugh.
The three of them said their goodbyes, and in the end, they parted ways!
