"Captain! The Sand Mercenary Group and the Blizzard Mercenary Group have arrived outside with their men!" Passerby A reported to Xiao Ding with cupped fists.

"Oh? Do they want to start a war with us?" Xiao Ding might have been wary before, but after absorbing those small mercenary groups—and with two great powers like Hai Bodong and Lin Yu—he feared no one!

"Let's go take a look!" With that, Xiao Ding strode outside.

"Captain Luobu, we're on the same side now. I hope you remember that!" Wu Shao was somewhat worried that Luobu would go back on his word.

"Rest assured, Captain Wu Shao. Aren't we merely here to join them for now? We'll discuss the rest later!" Luobu was also panicking. He was unsure whether the Desert Iron Mercenary Group was deceiving them.

But the destruction of the City Lord's Mansion was a fact. Even if it had not been a Dou Emperor, only a Dou Wang or Dou Ling could have accomplished such a thing. In other words, the Desert Iron Mercenary Group had at least one Dou Ling!

Luobu had thought of that long ago. Only that fool Wu Shao was still considering rebellion!

Before long, Xiao Ding came out.

"What is it? Captain Luobu, Captain Wu Shao, you've brought so many people with you. Are you planning to start a war with us?" Xiao Ding flicked his sleeve, his voice carrying a trace of anger.

Luobu was alarmed. It seemed the rumors were mostly true. Since when had Xiao Ding dared to act so arrogantly? Would he dare behave like this without someone backing him?

"Brother Xiao Ding, you misunderstand. We came to join you... I would like to meet that Dou Emperor..." Luobu cupped his fists and bowed.

Xiao Ding narrowed his eyes. "Then please, come in for a talk..."

"Qing Lin, have you remembered it?" Lin Yu was guiding Qing Lin in her cultivation.

"I've remembered it, Master."

At that moment, a mercenary entered the courtyard. "Young Master Lin Yu, the captain requests your presence."

Lin Yu raised a brow. "Oh? Did he say what it was about?"

The mercenary replied, "People from the Sand Mercenary Group and the Blizzard Mercenary Group have arrived. Lord Ice Emperor has already gone over."

Lin Yu thought for a moment. "Alright, let's go take a look!"

"Qing Lin, don't slack off. I'll be checking when I return!"

"Yes, Master!"

After reminding Qing Lin, Lin Yu vanished into the vortex.

Desert Iron Mercenary Group Council Hall

"I've already explained everything about the future to you. The Hall Master of God Extermination Hall will be coming shortly!" Xiao Ding relayed all the plans Lin Yu had told him to Luobu and the others.

Though the two had done quite a few shady things, they were still men of temperament. They had only done those things out of necessity. Hearing that there was a way to change the current situation, they were willing to work for it.

They had originally thought Hai Bodong was the strongest person here, but unexpectedly, there was another great figure behind him.

Suddenly, a vortex appeared at the entrance to the council hall. Immediately afterward, a young man in a black, narrow-sleeved Python Robe appeared, his bearing imposing.

"Hello, everyone!" The newcomer was Lin Yu.

Seeing Lin Yu arrive, Xiao Ding laughed heartily. "Haha, this is the future Hall Master of God Extermination Hall, and also my younger brother, Lin Yu."

Luobu and Wu Shao exchanged glances, unable to believe it. So young? Xiao Ding's younger brother? The Hall Master of God Extermination Hall?

Seeing their doubts, Xiao Ding explained, "Don't doubt it. He's a Dou Zun!"

Luobu and Wu Shao's eyes widened even further, their faces filled with disbelief. A Dou Zun? A single Dou Emperor had already shocked them enough, and now there was a Dou Zun too. Their minds could barely process it.

Since when had Captain Xiao Ding had a Dou Zun younger brother? Didn't the rumors say his younger brother was a cripple? Who said that? Step forward! I'll kill him!

"Greetings, Hall Master Lin Yu!" Once they recovered from their shock, the two hurriedly stood and paid their respects to Lin Yu.

"Hehe... there's no need for this. God Extermination Hall hasn't been established yet!"

"Since the two of you have sincerely come to join us, return and settle your affairs first. In a few days, we'll depart for Wutan City!" Lin Yu told them to return and arrange everything. Then they would head directly to Wutan City and establish God Extermination Hall first. Finding the Heavenly Flames was not urgent; they could wait until matters here were settled!

Xiao Ding had already told them about going to Wutan City before Lin Yu arrived, so they naturally knew what to do.

First, they had to remove all those with poor character. To govern others, one first had to restrain oneself.

Before this, the Desert Iron Mercenary Group had already expelled some people, all of them of bad character.

"Brother Xiao Ding, you should go make preparations too. In three days, we're going home!"

"Alright!"
