Xiao Ze's Plan!

At this moment, Mu Li, the young leader of the Wolf Head Mercenary Group,

immediately broke into a smile.

He had never expected to find the location of the cave treasure without any effort at all.

He was therefore extremely excited and thrilled.

Looking at Xiao Yi Xian and Xiao Ze before him, Mu Li of the mercenary group immediately smiled.

He looked at the two of them and said,

"Xiao Yi Xian, I'm giving you two choices now."

"Either obediently hand over the treasures in your hands, and I guarantee that you'll leave safely."

"And I won't harm you."

"Or you can die here."

"In a moment, we'll swarm you and take them from you by force."

Mu Li revealed a sinister smile before speaking.

"The choice is yours."

"We worked hard to find these. Why should we hand them over to you?"

Xiao Yi Xian immediately retorted.

"If that's the case, then there's no need for us to waste words."

"Attack at once. Kill Xiao Yi Xian and that brat beside her."

"Take the treasures back from them."

"With these treasures, the Wolf Head Mercenary Group's power will surely rise greatly."

"We'll become the largest mercenary group in Green Mountain Town."

As Mu Li finished speaking, the mercenaries behind him rushed forward.

They immediately launched their attack, their Dou Qi rapidly surging.

They charged at Xiao Yi Xian and Xiao Ze.

"Watch out," Xiao Yi Xian cried instinctively.

But at that moment, Xiao Ze drew his weapon, the Jinghong Sword.

This was the reward he had received from the System Panel not long ago.

Now was the perfect time to test the weapon's power.

He had already reached the strength of a nine-star Dou Ling.

Dealing with these few mercenaries before him required no effort at all.

He did not even need to use a Dou Technique; ordinary attacks alone

would be enough to swiftly deal with them.

That was the difference between strength and strength.

Xiao Ze moved quickly, wielding his Jinghong Sword.

He effortlessly killed several three-star Dou Zhe.

"What? This brat actually has such strength?"

Mu Li froze on the spot.

He was truly surprised. He had never expected Xiao Yi Xian's companion

to possess such great strength, capable of swiftly killing several of his mercenaries without using any Dou Techniques.

Mu Li was tempted as well. This fellow was quite strong.

So he said,

"Brat, I don't care what your name is, but you do have some skill."

"How about this? If you're willing, I can let you join the Wolf Head Mercenary Group."

"On the condition that you obediently hand over what you're holding."

"Today, I'll not only let you leave unharmed, but I'll also invite you to join the Wolf Head Mercenary Group."

"And give you an important position."

"My Wolf Head Mercenary Group is no small force in Green Mountain Town."

"You'd better not underestimate us."

Unexpectedly, Xiao Ze merely said calmly,

"It's nothing but a pile of trash, and you want me to join?"

"Take a piss and look at yourself. Stop dreaming."

Hearing such an insult, Mu Li of the Wolf Head Mercenary Group

immediately felt humiliated.

So he attacked at once, launching an assault on Xiao Ze.

But Xiao Ze casually swung his sword, killing Mu Li on the spot.

There was no suspense whatsoever. The battle ended in mere seconds.

The many mercenaries before him were instantly dumbfounded.

They had never expected their young leader, Mu Li, to be dealt with so easily by Xiao Ze.

Just how terrifying had the other party's strength become?

A nine-star Da Dou Shi? Or a Dou Ling expert?

The mercenaries turned pale with fright.

They did not dare hesitate in the slightest, each of them calling him "Sir."

"We apologize for offending you..."

Then they swiftly fled the scene.

If they hesitated for even a second, and Xiao Ze changed his mind

and decided to take revenge on them, their lives would be lost here in an instant.

After they rapidly fled the scene,

Xiao Yi Xian looked at him with astonishment in her eyes.

"I never expected it, Xiao Ze. You move so quickly."

"And your strength is so overwhelming. You truly deserve the strength of a Dou Ling."

"At first, I really underestimated you."

"I never thought you could refine fifth-grade pills."

Xiao Yi Xian said with immense admiration.

Xiao Ze smiled faintly and waved his hand.

His expression was calm and indifferent.

"What's so impressive about that? It was only Mu Li."

After dealing with him, Xiao Ze remained extremely calm.

He left the cave in the Magic Beast Mountain together with Xiao Yi Xian.

They returned to Green Mountain Town.

They spent the next several days there.

Whenever she had nothing to do, Xiao Yi Xian would study the poison arts she had obtained.

Xiao Ze also continued improving his strength.

Until several days later, Xiao Ze found a quiet place to cultivate.

Looking at the prompt on the System Panel, the corners of his mouth rose slightly.

Because a line of text was displayed there.

[You have broken through to the strength of a Dou Wang, surpassing the bottleneck of the Dou Ling realm.]

[You have reached a new level, and your strength has greatly increased.]

[Current mission: Make your father, Xiao Zhan, astonished by your strength.]

[You will receive a Blue Treasure Chest as a reward. Do you accept the mission? Please choose.]

Xiao Ze was slightly stunned by the mission displayed on the System Panel.

Then he immediately made his choice.

The mission was hardly difficult at all.

So he immediately looked at Xiao Yi Xian before him.

Xiao Yi Xian happened to ask at that moment,

"Xiao Ze, what are your plans from here on?"

"The Wolf Head Mercenary Group already knows that we were responsible for Mu Li's death."

"They suspect us now. They will probably take action against us before long."

"At the earliest, tonight; at the latest, tomorrow. So what are your plans?"

"Your strength is certainly great, and dealing with those mercenary groups would naturally take little effort."

"But it would still be troublesome, so we should leave this place."

"Is there anywhere you want to go? I can go with you."

"I have nothing to do anyway. Traveling through the various places of the Jia Ma Empire to gain experience"

"would not be a bad thing either."

Xiao Yi Xian spoke seriously.

At the same time, Xiao Ze nodded.

He told her about his plans.

Xiao Yi Xian looked slightly surprised.

"Wutan City in the Jia Ma Empire? No problem."

"You came out to gain experience and want to return home for a visit. I'll go with you."

"I just happen to want to visit the Mittel Auction House."

"To see whether I can buy cultivation techniques and medicinal ingredients. Perhaps I'll find something that interests me."

As she said this, Xiao Yi Xian nodded.

She planned to rest for the night and set out for Wutan City the following morning.
