309: Chapter 309 Deep in the Desert, the Moonlit Leader

"Mo Tie Mercenary Group?" Hun Tiandi murmured, turning his head to glance at Yan Xing.

"This humble official will arrange it immediately!" Yan Xing received his look and instantly vanished from the spot, chasing after the mercenaries they had let go.

Hun Tiandi's figure moved as he walked toward Qing Yue. Seeing her face covered in tears, a slight ripple of emotion stirred in his heart.

However, he did not comfort Qing Yue, simply standing to the side and waiting.

An hour later, Qing Yue composed herself and spoke timidly: "Young Master..."

"You did well. A personal grudge must be avenged by oneself. This Young Master provides you with cultivation methods, Dou Techniques, and even resources... If you still cannot take revenge despite all this, then you cannot blame anyone else. To complain and blame others would only be your own lack of worth!"

Hun Tiandi spoke coldly; he did this to make Qing Yue grow up faster.

He would not keep useless people by his side.

"Why did you let the people from the Mo Tie Mercenary Group go at the end?"

"Young Master, Qing Yue has remembered. In the future, I will show no mercy when I strike; I will pull up the weeds by their roots!" Qing Yue said coldly.

Hun Tiandi nodded in satisfaction and gave Liu Ling a look. Liu Ling nodded with a smile.

"Qing Yue, take a rest. Consume this healing medicinal pill!" Liu Ling spoke slowly, easing the atmosphere.

"Commander Meng, even with our combined efforts, we couldn't kill that young girl..." the fleeing mercenary said unwillingly.

"You're looking for death! Don't drag us down with you. This chance at survival was bought by Xue Lan with her life. If you're unwilling to follow, then leave on your own!"

Meng Tian rebuked angrily.

He was furious in his heart. Truly useless! That vengeful girl actually managed to slay over ten Snake-people with her power alone. With such terrifying strength, you still want to seek death!

Furthermore, Meng Tian had been active in the Tagor Desert for a long time and did not believe that the girl was alone. For her strength to change so drastically, there must be someone helping her from behind.

"Hurry, once we get back to the Mo Tie Mercenary Group's base, we'll be safe..."

Meng Tian urged. He was about to turn and continue his journey when he discovered an old man waiting ahead, arms crossed over his chest.

The man was looking at them mockingly.

"Senior, we are members of the Mo Tie Mercenary Group. May I ask what intentions you have in blocking our path?"

"This old man is sending you to the Yellow Spring Road. The woman who voluntarily sacrificed herself earlier must have been from the Mo Tie Mercenary Group!" Yan Xing said coldly.

Ah...

Yan Xing wasted no more words. He reached out and clenched his palm. World energy gathered frantically, forming a massive handprint that enveloped the mercenaries before clenching shut.

The mercenaries let out shrill screams and their bodies exploded, ending their lives.

"You... a devil?" Meng Tian's expression was full of terror as he looked at the smiling Yan Xing.

"Don't worry, this seat won't kill you. Go back and tell your leader that I am waiting for him deep within the Tagor Desert!"

Yan Xing spoke slowly.

A provocation? This was an absolute provocation!

Waves of emotion rose in Meng Tian's heart as he looked at Yan Xing in horror. Yan Xing smiled slightly and flickered away towards the depths of the desert.

Meng Tian ran frantically toward the edge of the great desert.

"Your Majesty, it has been arranged. One person was let go to deliver the message..."

Yan Xing bowed respectfully to Hun Tiandi and then spoke.

Hun Tiandi nodded slightly. After resting for a night, Qing Yue had basically recovered, and her courage had grown significantly.

The group advanced into the great desert.

Under the clear sky, the fierce sun shone brightly. Walking in the desert, because the temperature was so high, the yellow sand radiated a scorching heat, and hot air permeated from within the sand.

Reflected in the eyes, the line of sight became distorted, and even the space seemed to become illusory.

In the boundless desert, a green figure slowly appeared. Looking at his travel-worn appearance, he had clearly been on a forced march along the way.

The figure took heavy steps, gradually climbing a towering sand dune and looking around...

"So this is the Tagor Desert..." The newcomer was the original body of Hun Tiandi who had rushed here from the Black-Corner Region.

His raspy voice carried a hint of excitement.

Because he had arrived a step ahead, and Xiao Xiao, who was being pursued across ten thousand miles, would arrive here shortly.

Along the way, he had watched many good shows. Xiao Xiao, who was being hunted the entire way, had almost been suppressed and killed several times. Fortunately, the Seven-Colored Sky Swallowing Python by her side had risked its life to save her.

It was just that there hadn't been a good opportunity; otherwise, he would have already devoured the Seven-Colored Sky Swallowing Python's bloodline.

Soon, this boundless Tagor Desert would become a battlefield for the struggle of the strong.

With a sway of his body, he shot into the sky-filling yellow sand and disappeared.

"This damn desert. It took nearly a whole month to get from Stone Desert City to these depths..."

"If not for having a map in hand, I'm afraid..."

Hun Tiandi lamented. Following behind him was Qing Yue's group. Pointing at the route on the map, they were currently approaching the depths of the desert.

Since leaving Stone Desert City, they had followed the map's route into the desert depths. Due to the environment being too harsh and the disturbance of extreme weather,

combined with the time spent on bitter cultivation, most of them chose to walk.

Aside from the magical beasts hidden in the desert, there was the Snake-people Tribe of the desert. No one was willing to provoke them; the experts of the Snake-people Tribe could manipulate venomous snakes to launch attacks.

For others, it would be a troublesome matter, but with a map and keen spiritual perception, there was no trouble at all.

Because he wanted to temper Qing Yue, Yan Xing deliberately provoked the Snake-people to use them for combat and slaughter.

After a month of bitter cultivation and tempering, Qing Yue had undergone a complete transformation. Her whole body radiated a sharp edge, like a female general who had spent a long time on the battlefield.

All of this was seen. To survive on the continent, one needed powerful strength and a resilient mindset.

"This red dot should be the nearest Snake-people Tribe. There are eight in total on the map, representing Snake-people Tribes in different directions..."

"Eight behemoths ruling several sectors of the desert. We must be careful next!"

Hun Tiandi said with a solemn expression, because as the Blood Shadow Clone, he had already sensed that the original body was rushing toward the depths of the desert.

"You all wait here... I'll go take a look!"

"Your Majesty, it's too dangerous, let this official..." Yan Xing tried to advise, but Hun Tiandi's eyes glared, and Yan Xing backed down, instructing the two of them to protect Qing Yue well.

Hun Tiandi approached the depths. On the map, he saw an oasis where they could replenish their water source.

"However, it is extremely close to a Snake-people Tribe..."

He headed toward the direction of the oasis. It looked close on the map, but it was like 'looking at the mountain and running the horse to death.' This map given by Tu Xingzi was somewhat unreliable.

The actual distance was hundreds of miles, yet it was only an inch or two on the map.

But Hun Tiandi walked for a full six hours. The sky grew dark. If not for the need to avoid Snake-people experts, his speed could have been even faster.

Finally, he saw a plain oasis. His gaze scanned the surroundings, and taking advantage of the darkening sky, he dashed forward.

Shuttling through the small woods, he kept searching for a water source.

On a small path deep in the forest, several enchanting Snake-women scanned the surroundings with cold eyes, holding weapons and standing guard.

Dark skin, deep green pupils, and alluring snake-like waists...

"I'll be... It's late at night and they're not sleeping, what are they doing?"

Hun Tiandi's gaze was alert. Moving his body, he headed toward the sound of water. Pushing aside leaves, he saw a lake with clear and clean water.

Plop!

Just as he was preparing to collect water, the sound of water splashing came. Looking over, a graceful figure emerged from the lake water.

The back of a woman with a hot figure, her black hair falling into the water, her skin snow-white, with water droplets trickling down.

A waist that could be held in one hand, every movement exuding enchantment and charm.

She slowly turned around. Looking at the woman's peerless beauty, a green snake tail swayed from the lake water, a combination of enchantment and wildness.

"A Snake-woman?" he said softly.

"Who is it?" the woman said coldly.

"Commander Yue Mei, what happened?" The Snake-people guards on alert ran toward the lake, brimming with killing intent.

"Stand down!" The woman called Commander Yue Mei spoke coldly, her snake-like pupils staring playfully at Hun Tiandi.

"Yes, Commander Yue Mei!" The guards all exclaimed and slowly retreated.
