Chapter 958

Chapter 958

Xiaoaogong defeated Ouyang's family, but they didn't feel any joy here.

No matter inside the Xiaoao Palace or outside Fengyun City, everyone is wearing white clothes and white turbans, with a mournful atmosphere for a funeral.

A total of more than 20,000 people were dispatched, but nearly 20,000 people died, and only more than 4,000 people returned alive.

It was an absolute disastrous victory, and there was no reason to be happy about it.

Ling Xiao took the lead and held a grand funeral in the palace, offering sacrifices to all the dead.

The master of ceremonies was held quite grandly.

Ling Xiao also personally bowed to the many dead people to show respect and condolences to them who sacrificed their lives for the palace gate.

Ling Xiao also explained that Xuan Yao must arrange for the relatives of the dead elders or deacons, so that they will have no worries about food and clothing for the rest of their lives. Those who want to practice can directly become outer disciples in the palace, and those who have Tianbin can become inner disciples disciple.

This can be regarded as a kind of appeasement to the families of the victims.

At the same time, it can be regarded as a way to win people's hearts, otherwise, who will work for Xiaoaogong in the future.

The funeral was held for three days and three nights.

And everyone must wear hemp belts to mourn for three months, and then Ling Xiao will personally go to destroy the Ouyang family.

At the same time, he asked people to announce his identity as a holy pharmacist to the world. Anyone who wants to take refuge in their Xiaoao Palace can come and join, provided they are loyal enough.

So many people have died this time, so it is necessary to recruit experts as soon as possible to recharge their strength so that they can withstand the pressure of other forces.

In addition, Ling Xiao has asked Can Bao to take people to Liuyang Sect and many other forces that have announced their escape from Xiaoao Palace, and they will all be bloodwashed as a respectful example.

This is the fate of choosing betrayal, and there will be no kindness at all.

...

In the Xiaoao palace, Ling Xiao was wearing a white robe, holding a jug of century-old wine, drinking with two brothers Hua Xiaogui and Tang Gangling in front of him.

They hadn't seen each other for more than ten years, and the three of them really didn't know where to start, they just drank their own stuffy wine.

In the end, Hua Xiaogui took a sip of wine in a very unhappy manner and smiled at Ling, "Boss, I quit. I want to stay by your side and live and die with you!".

"What is life and death, are you going to curse the boss to die early?" Ling Xiao said lightly.

For some reason, after only ten years or so, I felt a little estrangement from the two of them.

But after Hua Xiaogui's words came out, this estrangement was instantly diluted a lot, at least Hua Xiaogui's temperament was still the same.

Hua Xiaogui said awkwardly, "Boss, I don't mean that. I want to stay and create hegemony together with Boss. I don't want to go back to Lingwu Pavilion."

Tang Gangling also said, "Well, let us stay and help you."

Ling Xiao took a sip of wine, shook his head and said, "At the beginning when the god stick asked you to go to Lingwu Pavilion, he knew that you would have a bright future, and you must go out of your own way. I am very grateful that you can come here this time, at least in your hearts. With me as the boss, it's not that the boss doesn't want you to stay, it's just that it's not the time, you are now in the stage of learning and promotion, it is more promising to stay in Lingwu Pavilion."

"But these old fellows are so irritating. It's okay to ask them to do a little favor. If they are willing to take action, they will definitely make those people pay a big price!" Hua Xiaogui said rather unwillingly.

"What do you think of Gang Ling?" Ling smiled and asked Tang Gangling sideways instead of answering.

Psychologically, Tang Gangling is more mature and stable than Hua Xiaogui.

Tang Gangling hesitated for a moment and said, "They have their concerns. If they really forcibly intervene, it's not just their business, but a Wu Ge business, which will involve many things."

Ling Xiao nodded lightly and sighed, "Yes, after all, you have just entered the Lingwu Pavilion not long ago. If you can become the indispensable saints of the Lingwu Pavilion in the future, then what happened that day will not happen, so relying on people It's better to rely on yourself!".

These words are also the summary of Ling Xiao's many years of life experience.

As the prodigal son and the dragon girl left one after another, Ling Xiao was seriously short of helpers around him. Without their help, it would have been much more difficult to survive.

If it weren't for the dragon scales and Tiantian drum bestowed by the old dragon king, he would have been destroyed by the saint long ago.

Don't even count on who will save him when he is in danger.

That's why he was so moved to say such words.

He also wanted Hua Xiaogui and Tang Gangling to stay, but this would hinder their progress.

Ling Xiao is very selfish about many things, but he is open about things in this area.

At the beginning, he brought them to Zhongyu because he wanted everyone to grow up, not because he only cared about his own strength and prevented them from getting better development.

"However, if something major happens again, we will not be able to help the boss, which will make us feel very sorry and feel very uncomfortable!" Hua Xiaogui said.

"I know your intentions, so you must become stronger as soon as possible. When you reach a higher level, even the people in the cabinet will not be able to control you. Then why don't you let you do what you want?" Ling He responded with a smile, and then he said, "No matter where you are, as long as you remember me as the boss, you are my brothers. When there is a need for the boss to help, the boss is willing to define it."

"Boss is right, I must become a seventh-level craftsman as soon as possible, no, an eighth-level craftsman, and the resources in the cabinet will not all be at our disposal by then," Tang Gang replied confidently.

"I just want to stay with the boss, not to mention that the boss is now an eighth-rank pharmacist, he must be better than my old ghost master," Hua Xiaogui said with some air.

"Don't say anything, we won't go home if we're not drunk today." Ling Xiao didn't want to talk about it anymore, picked up the jug to clink glasses and drank.

"Yes, we won't go home until we're drunk. We have to return to the Martial Court tomorrow and we don't know when we will meet again. I hope our brothers can be famous in the Central Region!" Tang Gangling first raised the jug and clinked glasses with Ling Xiao.

Hua Xiaogui sighed lightly, didn't say anything more, raised his neck and started drinking heavily.

He was just making up his mind that he must catch up with the boss as soon as possible, so that he could also help him in the future.

The three of them didn't know how long they had been drinking, and in the end they all indulged themselves and passed out.

After waking up, the two had to leave.

Before leaving, Hua Xiaogui was still planning to take Wu Sixue to Lingwu Pavilion.

However, this time it was stopped by Ling Xiao.

"Boss, why?" Hua Xiaogui asked puzzled.

Wu Sixue on the side also looked at Ling Xiao nervously, not understanding why he wanted to stop him.

Didn't he bring her to Zhongyu in the first place just to be with Hua Xiaogui?

Ling Xiao shook his head and said to Hua Xiaogui, "Now you are the true disciple of Feng Shengshi, and your identity has been completely different. I'm afraid you can't decide your marriage casually. Besides, Xiaoxue's strength is too weak now. Going back, I'm afraid I won't be welcomed, have you thought about this?".

The bigger the power, the more popular marriage is, or the prospect of its development is fancy.

Hua Xiaogui is already a low-level Tianzun and a sixth-rank pharmacist. This status is enough to disdain many of his peers.

Now Wu Sixue's strength is only middle-level king rank, and it is considered the strength of ordinary warriors in the middle region. It is simply a fantasy to make her fall into the eyes of those old guys in Lingwu Pavilion.

Hua Xiaogui glanced at Wu Sixue and replied, "You can rest assured about this, boss, my old ghost master probably won't take care of me."

Ling laughed and said, "Little Gui, your thinking is still a little naive. Maybe he will let Xiaoxue stay in Lingwu Pavilion, but he will definitely not let you really be together. Maybe it will hurt Xiaoxue!".

Wu Sixue is a smart girl, instantly understood Ling Xiao's meaning, and her expression turned pale.

Could it be that her fate with Hua Xiaogui ends here?

"Boss, what do you think we should do? I can't give up on Xiaoxue!" Hua Xiaogui said.

While speaking, he still mustered up the courage to hold Wu Sixue's hand to comfort her.

"Well, back then I knew you were a person who valued love and righteousness, otherwise I wouldn't have brought Xiaoxue to Zhongyu." Ling Xiao was very relieved to hear Hua Xiaogui say this, and he paused before saying, " It's true that Xiaoxue can't go to Lingwu Pavilion with you now, but it doesn't mean that you can't marry her in the future. I decided to accept Xiaoxue as a righteous sister from today. I will do my best to help her improve her strength as soon as possible. It should not be ten years. By then If you come to marry her, Lingwu Pavilion shouldn't have anything to say. After all, your boss is also the overlord of one party. My righteous sister's status is naturally different. Besides, I am also a holy pharmacist now. opportunity for equality".

"This... can this really work?" Before Hua Xiaogui could speak, Wu Sixue exclaimed.

In the northwest, her Tianbin cultivation was considered pretty good, but after she came to the Central Territory, she realized that she was like a frog in a well, her Tianbin and strength were not worth mentioning at all.

If it weren't for the help of Ling Xiao's elixir, she would not have been able to go from a high-level spiritual master to a middle-level king in three years.

When she saw Hua Xiaogui again, she really felt inferior.

I think she had disliked Hua Xiaogui at the beginning, but now it's all right, it's because she is not good enough for him.

"There is nothing impossible, as long as you can bear the hardships, even if I can't let you reach Xuandi rank within ten years, I can raise you to the strength of Tianzun!" Ling Xiao said confidently.

With his status as today's holy pharmacist, and with the memory of the God of Medicine inheritance, there are countless pills that have been improved, and among them, there are some even more heaven-defying pills in the eighth-grade pills, which can make people explode in one go. The existence of two or three levels of strength.

But this is only relative to those warriors with low strength.

Of course, it is not so easy to find every kind of eighth-level spirit grass, except in various dangerous and forbidden areas, it is impossible to exist in other places.

Fortunately, Wu Sixue has a water-attribute physique, and Ling Xiao has no shortage of eighth-level water-attribute spiritual herbs, so he is not worried that he will not be able to improve Wu Sixue's strength.

"With the guarantee from the boss, I can rest assured, but I have to wait ten years!" Hua Xiaogui never doubted Ling Xiao's words.

Wu Sixue also showed joy. For a cultivator, ten years is not too long, and he should be able to wait.
