The Battle Through Heaven
Appendixes
When the several members of the Mo clan in the hall were burnt to nothingness, the atmosphere in the hall suddenly became one where silence reigned.
With cold sweat slowly dripping from his forehead, Luo Bu sat on a chair, not daring to make the slightest movement. He silently stared at the gloomy face of the black-clothed youth, and his body was once again enveloped by that thick chill.
The body of the only man from the Mo clan stood in place with a stiff body. At this moment, his face suddenly turned pale white. His mouth shook and his eyes were filled with fear. Back then, if that white-colored flame had shifted a little more, the current he might not even leave behind ashes.
"You, you are provoking our Mo clan!" With a trembling voice, the man cried with a gallant face despite feeling weak inside.
"Not only will I provoke him, I will also destroy the worthless Mo clan!" Xiao Yan laughed out loud.
"Don't be too arrogant, behind our Mo clan is the Misty Cloud Sect!" The man angrily said. His voice grew louder as if he was trying to comfort himself.
"Take me to the Mo clan, or you can become like your friend before. Two choices. Choose yourself. " Xiao Yan crossed his ten fingers and placed them in front of him. He then looked at the trembling man and said softly.
"Klan Mo has no trai ..." The man suppressed the fear in his heart, and his mouth remained hard. However, this time, Xiao Yan seemed to have lost his temper. He gently waved his hand, and a wisp of white fire seeds emerged from his fingertips in a lightning-like manner, burning the man into nothingness while the latter wore a completely shocked expression.
"The headquarters of the Mo clan was located in Yan City in the eastern part of the empire. It was also the largest city in the eastern region of the empire. " Xiao Ding said softly behind Xiao Yan, "If one were to walk from the Desert Stone City to Yan City, one would need around eight days. If one wanted to fly, he should be able to reach it in one day. "
Xiao Yan nodded slightly and turned his head. His gaze focused on Luo Bu as he said with a smile, "Company Leader Luo Bu. Next we should discuss about the matter between us. Regardless of whether you were ordered by someone, the very significant damage you did on our ‘Desert Metal’ Mercenary Company is a fact. "
Hearing this, cold sweat started flowing down Luo Bu's face. Unwittingly, his face was like the color of the ground as he said in a trembling voice, "’The Sand’ Mercenary Company is willing to compensate your Company with a hundred thousand gold coins. Will this work? "
Xiao Yan smiled and shook his head.
"What about two hundred thousand?"
"Three hundred thousand?" Seeing that Xiao Yan was still shaking his head and the smile on his face growing increasingly frozen, Luo Bu finally lamented, "Master, Xiao Yan, is actually what you want. Why don't you tell me. With your strength, ‘Our Sand’ Pay Soldier Company has not even the slightest chance to fight back. "
At this moment, Luo Bu completely gave up. With the frightening strength of Xiao Yan, ‘Sand’ Paying Company has no right to talk about the conditions with him.
"Let ‘Sand’ Mercenary Company merge into ‘Gurun’ Sand Mercenary Company. Give money to low class members and get them out. Members who are seven star Dou Zhes and above can remain. If he was a Dou Shi, he could maintain his current position. " Xiao Yan's finger gently tapped on the back of his hand as he slowly spoke.
Hearing Xiao Yan's words, everyone in the hall was confused. Their expressions became interesting to watch. Xiao Ding and Xiao Lu exchanged glances with each other and felt their hearts move slightly. If ‘Deserteland Mercenary Company’ completely engulfs ‘Sand’ Mercenary Army Company, then not only in Desert Stone City, even the forces in nearby cities will have difficulty competing with them. When that time comes, the development of ‘Metal’ Desert Mercenary Company will definitely increase quickly!
Although this action had considerable benefits, the drawbacks were also very obvious. ‘Sand’ Mercenary Company is stronger than ‘Gurun’ Sand Mercenary Company. If they join, there is a hidden danger of them taking over the leadership. When that time comes, ‘Metal’ Desert Mercenary Company will probably be a big mess internally. If that was the case, then his losses would outweigh his gains.
While Xiao Ding and Xiao Li were considering advantages and disadvantages, Luo Bu's face became bitter. Although he did not have great ambitions to dominate, he was also unwilling to obey the orders of others. Moreover, his strength far surpassed Xiao Ding and Xiao Li. His heart naturally felt uneasy if it had to listen to the commands of the two of them.
"’Desert Metal’ Mercenary Company was created by us three brothers. I can also be considered as the Company leader of Desert Metal. I don't think you'll be humbling yourself by working under me, do you? " It was obvious from the discomfort in Luo Bu's heart, Xiao Yan said with a smile.
In this way, Xiao Yan caused Luo Bu and the few Dou Shi nearby to have a better expression. Working under someone who might be of the Dou Wang level would not humble themselves. Instead, they will feel highly respected.
"Company Leader Luo Bu, do you want to join, or do you want me to clean up? How you want to choose, you can decide for yourself. " Speaking up to this point, Xiao Yan paused and smilingly added, "I hope you won't let me down."
Stared at by that pair of pitch-black eyes, the corner of Luo Bu's mouth twitched several times involuntarily. He took a deep breath as his expression repeatedly and quickly changed.
After Luo Bu was silent, the interior of the hall once again became quiet. The calm atmosphere only had a slight sound of Xiao Yan gently tapping on the surface of the table.
Xiao Yan only smiled and was not committed.
"Then you think I have a choice?" Luo Bu's face was filled with bitterness as he asked.
"It seems you're not." Xiao Yan said with a smile. After seeing the bitter smile on Luo Bu's face and knowing his choice, Xiao Yan shrugged his shoulders. He flipped his palm and a small jade bottle appeared in his hand. His gaze swept across Luo Bu and the three Dou Shi behind him. The jade bottle tilted slightly and four red-colored medicinal pills were poured over. He flicked his finger and four medicinal pills were fired into the hands of the four stunned people.
"Don't tell me I don't believe you. Of course, even if now I tell you all because I believe in you, I'm afraid you won't believe me either. " After saying a mouthful of words, Xiao Yan smiled and said, "These things cannot be considered a powerful poison. However, if the poison were to erupt, I believe that other than Company Leader Luo Bu who should be able to endure for a while, I fear that the remaining three people will die on the spot. "
Tilting his head to Luo Bu, Xiao Yan added, "Remember, I said endure a little longer and instead you can withstand the poison."
Seeing the stiff expression of Luo Bu and the other three people, Xiao Yan said with a smile, "This is just some of the precautions I have taken. After all, it is impossible for me to fully trust all of you. I will hand over the antidote gradually to my eldest brother. As long as you don't try anything funny, you'll be OK. When you have gained true trust in the future, I'll help you all eliminate the poison. "
"It looks like we have no choice but to eat?" Holding the red-colored pill in his hand, Luo Bu was silent for a moment before sighing. He was clear in his heart that if he did not consume the medicinal pellets, Xiao Yan would definitely not believe that they would willingly join forces.
Xiao Yan nodded his head slightly and softly said, "Company Leader Luo Bu is a smart person. You naturally understand that I do this as insurance. "
After laughing bitterly, Luo Bu raised his head and looked at Xiao Yan. Although that face still carried a smile, within the pair of pitch-black eyes was an ordinary sense of coldness and indifference. Seen by the icy gaze, Luo Bu shivered coldly in his heart. He believed that if he and the others refused to consume these pills, their ending would not be much different from some of the people from the Mo clan before.
Sighing again, Luo Bu turned to the three subordinates and exchanged glances. They smiled bitterly and shook their heads before swallowing the red-colored medicinal pellets helplessly. Regardless of the situation, their lives today had at least been preserved.
Observing the four people taking the pill, Xiao Yan nodded his head. He slowly stood up and said, "You should first prepare for the matter regarding the merger. Some worms that are in the Company must be cleaned. Remember, ‘The Metal’ Desert Mercenary Company does not want trash that only knows how to bully others by exploiting the power of the company. "
After saying this, Xiao Yan turned around and walked out of the hall. Xiao Ding glanced at the desperate-looking Luo Bu before following behind Xiao Yan.
Following behind Xiao Yan, a group of ‘ members of the Metal’ Desert Mercenary Company looked at the skinny figure in front of them. Their minds feel a little dizzy. In just half a day, the greatest power in Stone Desert City had actually been forcibly merged into ‘Desuran’ Metal Mercenary Company? This comedy scene really made everyone feel as if they were dreaming.
Sitting desperately on the chair, Luo Bu looked at the group of people who were leaving in one file and sighed. He weakly waved his hand and said, "Prepare to clean up all the useless people."
"Company Leader, will we just put in ‘Company Mercenary Desert Metal’ like that?" Behind him, a Dou Shi smiled bitterly and said.
"If we don't do this, then what else can we do? The strength of Xiao Yan is something that you have clearly seen. If he really wanted to exterminate our ‘Sand’ Charge Army Company, it was something that could be done with just a single flick of his hand. Moreover, following a mercenary company that had Dou Wang as an umbrella would be safer than in the past. " Luo Bu rubbed his forehead and said.
Hearing this, the three Dou Shi could only bitterly smile at each other, feeling sad and speechless.
Walking out of the hall, Xiao Yan's group slowly headed outside. They turned the corner of the road before Xiao Yan's footsteps slowed down. Turning his head towards Xiao Ding and Xiao Li, he said with a smile, "Although forcibly merging ‘Sand’ Mercenary Company into ‘Gal’ Desert Mercenary Company has some dangers with the abilities of Brother and Second Brother, I think you two should be able to solve it perfectly.
"It's a little troublesome indeed. However, with your actions just now, I'm sure Luo Bu has been suppressed to such an extent that he won't dare to do anything reckless. As for the mercenaries who have been transferred from ‘Sand’ Mercenary Company, there is no need to worry too much. I have a plan to handle it. " Xiao Ding said with a grin.
"That's great." Seeing Xiao Ding not hesitate, Xiao Yan heaved a sigh of relief. He then said, "Furthermore, I will go to the city where the Mo clan is. The problem here must be solved by all of you. "
"Go to the Mo clan?" Hearing this, Xiao Ding beside him frowned. A while later, he finally nodded and reminded, "Be careful. The Mo Clan was the ruler of Yan City. Moreover, their relationship with the Misty Cloud Sect was quite good. " "Good."
Xiao Yan smiled slightly and nodded his head. He waved towards Hai Bo Dong at the side. After which, his back slightly trembled and the Purple Cloud Wings extended. He rose slowly into the air, waving his hand while smiling at the stunned Xiao Ding group below before rising into the air with Hai Bo Dong. As they flapped their wings, their bodies turned into two rays of light and quickly disappeared into the horizon.
