After all, he was also worried about what would happen if the Desert Iron Mercenary Group actually found some treasures. He absolutely could not allow Xiao Ding and Xiao Li to surpass him!
Upon hearing Sha Luo's final decision, a smile finally crept onto Mo Xing's face.
And a hint of resentment flashed in his narrowed eyes!
"Sigh, Captain Sha Luo, we're all mercenaries, why can't you put aside your differences and work together?"
Just after Sha Luo finished speaking, a sigh suddenly rang out from a corner of the room.
"Who!"
The sudden sound caused the expressions of the two people in the room to change drastically.
Then, Sha Luo suddenly turned his head and was somewhat horrified to find that a boy was now sitting quietly on the chair in the corner of the room, which had been empty before.
The boy didn't look very old, but he was extremely handsome. What was most impressive about him were his eyes, which had a captivating quality!
And who else could this person be besides Xiao Tianci?
"Who are you!"
The moment Sha Luo saw Xiao Tianci, every hair on her body stood on end.
He looked at Xiao Tianci with shock and rebuked him sternly.
However, there was a clear hint of panic in his tone, making his rebuke sound slightly weak.
Mo Xing, of course, also got a clear look at Xiao Tianci's appearance at this moment.
His pupils contracted slightly, and he couldn't help but take a step back, bringing himself closer to Sha Luo.
"Captain, this guy is from the Desert Iron Mercenary Group. I just saw him this afternoon. I only said one sentence to him, and Xiao Li attacked me right away!"
Upon hearing this, Sha Luo was also taken aback. Then, he looked at Xiao Tianci with a solemn expression and spoke.
"You're from the Desert Iron Mercenary Group. What brings you to our Sand Mercenary Group so late at night?"
Although Xiao Tianci in front of him looked incredibly young, he didn't exude any aura whatsoever.
But Sha Luo wasn't stupid. He knew that Xiao Tianci was no fool for being able to sit in a chair through the only door in the room without anyone noticing.
He didn't even know how long Xiao Tianci had been sitting in that chair. If Xiao Tianci used that time to kill him, would he still have any chance of escaping?
"You should be glad I'm not a bloodthirsty person, otherwise you wouldn't be seeing me right now."
Xiao Tianci shrugged, then said, "I'll give you a chance to live, your only chance to live."
"Please speak, Your Excellency."
At this moment, all of Sha Luo's muscles tensed up, and his eyes were fixed on Xiao Tianci.
It seemed as if they were worried that Xiao Tianci might suddenly start killing people without warning during this period.
"For the next few days, I'd like to trouble Captain Sha Luo to keep the members of the mercenary group in check and ask them not to disturb Captains Xiao Ding and Xiao Li's business."
Xiao Tianci glanced at Sha Luo, then slowly spoke.
"Boy, who do you think you are, daring to speak to Commander Sha Luo like that!"
Upon hearing Xiao Tianci's words, Mo Xing, who was standing to the side, immediately flew into a rage and spoke up.
He had gone to great lengths to persuade Sha Luo to reluctantly agree to help, but now this guy was just threatening him all the time. How could Mo Xing possibly tolerate that?
"Court death!"
Upon hearing this, Xiao Tianci did not move, but merely glanced at Mo Xing.
But the Cold Sky Sword behind him trembled slightly at that moment.
"Thump."
The next moment, Mo Xing's body went limp and collapsed to the ground.
Subsequently, blood gradually seeped through the exaggeratedly thick bandages on his neck.
Clearly, Mo Xing is now dead.
"Hmm, it's much quieter now." Xiao Tianci clapped his hands, still sitting in his chair, and said.
"Commander Sha Luo, I heard everything Mo Xing said just now. His words were all meant to sow discord, and I couldn't stand it anymore, so I stepped in to help Commander Sha Luo clean up his own mess. Commander Sha Luo shouldn't mind, right?"
At this moment, Sha Luo's face was covered in cold sweat, and his body was extremely stiff.
Upon hearing Xiao Tianci's words, he forced a smile and then said with some difficulty, "I don't mind, of course I don't mind. I saw long ago that Mo Xing is just a charlatan. Even if this lord doesn't take action this time, I will clean up his own mess!"
Sha Luo's words were righteous and awe-inspiring, as if this was exactly what he had always wanted to do.
He naturally dared not utter a single complaint about Xiao Tianci's decision to kill his strongest subordinate.
The difference in strength was too great, so much so that Sha Luo didn't even have the slightest hint of killing intent in his heart.
He had just watched in astonishment as the young man in front of him hadn't moved an inch, only the sword on his back trembled slightly, as if it had been drawn and then sheathed again, yet Mo Xing was dead instantly!
He couldn't even catch the trajectory of the longsword!
Judging from the strength that the young man in front of me had previously displayed, he must have far surpassed me, reaching the level of Dou Wang, or even Dou Emperor!
The atmosphere inside the room froze.
The sounds of laughter and playful banter from the courtyard would occasionally drift into the rooms, making absolute silence impossible.
However, Sha Luo dared not shout at all, for if he did, a large number of mercenaries would burst in with weapons the next breath.
However, Sha Luo lowered her voice, afraid of causing Xiao Tianci to misunderstand. The advantage in numbers did not bring Sha Luo any sense of security.
Sha Luo took a deep breath. He couldn't believe just how monstrous a Dou Emperor cultivator who was not even twenty years old could be.
All he knew was that his life, and even the life of the entire Sand Mercenary Group, was now in the hands of this young man.
If he wanted to wipe out the Sand Mercenary Group, he wouldn't even need to take action himself; the longsword on his back would suffice!
"What I mentioned earlier?" Xiao Tianci picked up a desert-specific fruit from the table in front of him, took a bite, and then spoke.
"Of course we will follow your orders, sir. Our Sand Mercenary Group will never set foot in that oasis again!"
Sha Luo swallowed hard, his heart pounding faster at that moment.
He then wiped the sweat from his face and quickly smiled apologetically at Xiao Tianci.
"Hmm." Xiao Tianci nodded slightly.
Then, Sha Luo watched helplessly as Xiao Tianci's figure vanished from her sight in an instant.
Similarly, Sha Luo also failed to see the trajectory of Xiao Tianci's steps.
Xiao Tianci's voice still echoed in Sha Luo's ears.
