Half a day later, in Stone Desert City.

"The mighty river flows eastward, and the stars in the sky point to the Big Dipper."

A powerful dragon roar, echoing between heaven and earth, resounded throughout the entire Stone Desert City. A terrifying, oppressive aura, capable of shaking the surrounding area for miles, enveloped the entire Stone Desert City.

Stone Desert City, in its northwest corner. This is now the headquarters of the town's premier mercenary group, the Great Desert Blood Sun Mercenary Group.

This was a daring woman with wheat-colored skin and an extremely beautiful and sexy appearance. Her voluptuous body was covered only by a short, tight-fitting garment, revealing her sexy, bronze-colored waist to everyone passing by. Underneath her short leather skirt, a section of her long, sexy thighs was visible.

At this moment, she was standing at the entrance of the Blood Sun Mercenary Group headquarters in the desert, looking at the golden dragon flying in from afar with an extremely solemn expression. The golden dragon was emitting a series of roars that shook the entire Stone Desert City.

Although its wailing and howling singing was very jarring, no one dared to say anything. Under its terrifying and oppressive aura, many residents in the city closed their windows and locked their doors, fearing to provoke this terrifying behemoth.

Passersby and mercenary groups traveling to and from Stone Desert City quickly evacuated the city, fearing they might attract the attention of that terrifying golden dragon.

The entire Stone Desert City was filled with a tense atmosphere, as if a storm was brewing.

"Is everything ready? Withdraw all mercenaries."

Although Xue Lan knew that the arrival of the golden dragon was not necessarily aimed at her, as the vice leader of the Desert Blood Sun Mercenary Group, she still tried her best to prepare in advance. As soon as she saw that the situation was not right, she immediately turned around and led Qing Lin away from the place.

"Yes, everything is almost ready."

Immediately, a subordinate came up to report. Xue Lan nodded. It had been almost three years since Xiao Xuanyuan entrusted the Great Desert Blood Sun Mercenary Group to her management. She had been leading the mercenary group to rise steadily. Now, it had transformed into the number one mercenary group in Stone Desert City, dominating the city and no one dared to provoke it.

Nowadays, thanks to the existence of the Desert Blood Sun Mercenary Group, Xue Lan has also obtained a lot of cultivation resources. After several years of cultivation, her strength has advanced to the level of a two-star Great Dou Master, enough to dominate the desert near Stone Desert City.

However, recently, a powerful force that can rival the Desert Blood Sun Mercenary Group has suddenly emerged: the Poplar Tree Mercenary Group!

A force possessing a Grand Dou Master! Their Grand Leader, Yang Jian, is a terrifying five-star Grand Dou Master, capable of crushing and contending with Xue Lan single-handedly!

The second commander, Yang Guang, and the third commander, Yang Yong, were both at the peak of the nine-star Dou Shi level. For a time, the Desert Blood Sun Mercenary Group was suppressed by them in every way and was restrained by them in every way, which was extremely frustrating!

"Commander Xue, something's wrong! That golden dragon seems to be flying in our direction!" At this moment, a somewhat panicked subordinate rushed up.

Xue Lan's expression changed slightly in surprise. She saw that the flying dragon, which had been in the distant sky just moments before, had arrived above the courtyard in the blink of an eye. The terrifyingly powerful aura of demonic pressure swept up countless dust particles, blotting out the sky and the earth.

"Everyone back inside!" Xue Lan decisively gave the order, then turned to retreat back into the council chamber behind her.

"Xue Lan, it's been a long time. I've returned to see you." Xiao Xuanyuan's voice echoed down from the sky, reaching Xue Lan's ears. "It's been so long, have you missed me?"

Upon hearing the voice, Xue Lan was still a little confused and disoriented. But then she realized that the person who spoke to her like that was the only one she could remember—the one who had helped her rise to the position of vice-captain of the mercenary group.

Upon hearing this voice, Xue Lan's beautiful eyes turned red with excitement. It had been three years since Xiao Xuanyuan left Shimo City. In the days without this man to rely on, Xue Lan had been single-handedly supporting the Great Desert Blood Sun Mercenary Group, allowing it to continue to flourish and grow stronger. All of this was for this young man.

The sudden appearance of the Poplar Tree Mercenary Group these past few days has almost broken her spirit. If it weren't for her belief in protecting the family business for her man and waiting for his return, she probably wouldn't have been able to hold on much longer.

"Damn it, is this ever going to stop? I told you to show off once, but you've created such a huge sandstorm that it almost blinded me. How am I supposed to find anyone now?"

On the back of the treasure-hunting golden dragon, Xiao Xuanyuan angrily punched and kicked the creature's head, making the rogue dragon howl and repeatedly admit its mistakes. At the same time, the dragon also had to retract its oppressive demonic aura in a very disheveled manner.

As the sandstorm gradually subsided and visibility improved, Xue Lan immediately spotted Xiao Xuanyuan standing on the dragon's back, delivering the final slap to the massive head of the treasure-hunting golden dragon.

"You keep patting Grandpa Dragon like that, Grandpa Dragon will definitely teach you a lesson later!" Rogue Dragon cried out in pain and muttered under his breath.

"You seem very confident? Oh?"

Xiao Xuanyuan grabbed one of its ferocious, jagged dragon horns with one hand, twisted its enormous head around, and scolded it harshly.

"No, no, Grandpa Long has always been very confident. How else would he go out and pick up girls if he wasn't confident? There's nothing wrong with being confident, right? Otherwise, would you enjoy being made to feel inferior?"

Rogue Dragon's eyes flickered, and he seemed evasive.

Xiao Xuanyuan was too lazy to argue with it, otherwise this guy would have a lot of twisted logic, and he wouldn't be able to understand it even after arguing with it for a long time. After slapping it hard, he told it to stay up there and not run around so it wouldn't lose the dragon, then he flew down and his feet landed lightly on the ground.

stop!

As soon as he landed, before Xiao Xuanyuan could even steady himself, a fragrant breeze wafted towards him, and then a voluptuous, soft body suddenly slammed into his chest, tightly embracing his waist.

"You're finally back! I've been waiting for you for three years!"

"Who are you?" Xiao Xuanyuan was still somewhat confused. Why would a beautiful woman throw herself into his arms in broad daylight? But the fragrance emanating from that voluptuous, plump body kept wafting into his nostrils. A vaguely familiar feeling surfaced in his heart.

"Hmm, this feels so familiar!"

“I am Xue Lan. Your woman, the vice-captain of the Desert Blood Sun Mercenary Group.” Xue Lan released Xiao Xuanyuan, glaring at him with a hint of annoyance.

"Oh, I thought it was someone else, but it's my darling. Come here and give me another hug."

Looking at the woman in front of him, who was much more mature and charming three years ago, scenes from the past resurfaced in his mind. Back then, he had forced himself on Xue Lan and made her his own. Later, Xue Lan followed him willingly without any regrets. Now, three years have passed, and this woman has become even more mature and composed.

"You still remember me? You've left me here for three years. It's my fault for ever taking a liking to you and helping you guard the Blood Sun Mercenary Group's business for three years."

Despite her complaints, Xue Lan finally felt a sense of peace and comfort as she nestled into the young man's arms, like a weary bird returning home.

With him by my side, it's like having the sky above me!

"Yes, thank you for your hard work. That's why I've come back to see you."

Holding that soft, voluptuous body, Xiao Xuanyuan felt quite guilty. In his past ignorance, he had left behind many romantic entanglements. Now that he was stronger, he should come back to pick up these women and give them an explanation.

"Where's Qinglin? I only see you, not that girl Qinglin?" Xiao Xuanyuan asked about Qinglin's condition after separating from Xue Lan.

"Hmph, you don't care about me at all. You only came here to find that girl." Xue Lan complained somewhat unhappily, but still ordered the stunned people below her to go and find Qing Lin.

"No way, you're also my darling. Come here, give me a kiss," Xiao Xuanyuan reached out and pulled Xue Lan into his arms, giving her a big kiss.

“By the way, it’s been three whole years. How come you came back with a broken arm?” At this moment, Xue Lan had already noticed Xiao Xuanyuan’s disability.

"We'll talk about this later." Xiao Xuanyuan shook his head slightly, unwilling to get involved with Xue Lan on this matter.

"There's one more thing I need to tell you."

Just as Xue Lan was about to continue catching up with Xiao Xuanyuan, a tall and graceful figure walked over from the backyard. Xiao Xuanyuan was drawn to her and looked up. A delicate oval face, no longer timid as before, had lost much of its childishness and gained a beautiful and charming appearance. She was a girl of seventeen or eighteen years old, dressed in green, and standing tall and graceful.

And in her arms at that moment, a child, no more than two or three years old, was looking at Xiao Xuanyuan with wide, dark, bright eyes, calling out "Mother," his little hand unconsciously pointing at Xiao Xuanyuan, and saying in a childish voice,

"Mother, is that Father? He looks just like Father."

Between her brows, Xiao Xuanyuan could vaguely see Qinglin's innocent appearance from back then, but whose child was she holding?

Just as Xiao Xuanyuan was puzzled, Qinglin handed the child in her arms to a mercenary beside her, and then transformed into a fragrant and beautiful figure, crashing into Xiao Xuanyuan's arms as well, her beautiful eyes red as she hugged him.

"Brother Xuanyuan, Qinglin has been waiting for you for so long." All the words in the sentence are contained in this extremely short sentence.

Holding that voluptuous and proud body, even more so than three years ago, Xiao Xuanyuan felt a pang of guilt. Indeed, it had been three whole years since he left Shimo City and had not seen Qinglin and Xuelan. Even though he was already their man, he had left the two women to live in solitude, like widows, in the desert of Shimo City.

"I came here this time to take you two home." A feeling of happiness filled Xiao Xuanyuan's heart, and also filled the lonely hearts of Qinglin and Xuelan.

Now, their man has finally returned, and they can finally go home!

A quarter of an hour later, Xiao Xuanyuan sat high on the main seat in the council hall, with Qinglin and Xuelan on his left and right sides respectively. Below him were several squad leaders from the Great Desert Blood Sun Mercenary Group, all of whom had reached the level of high-level Dou Shi.

"That's what happened. The three leaders of the Poplar Tree Mercenary Group coveted the beauty of our mercenary leader Xue and leader Qing. They gave us a three-day deadline. If we didn't merge with them by tomorrow, and they threatened to have Xue and Qing marry their leaders as concubines, they would come to our door and threaten to destroy our Desert Blood Sun Mercenary Group."

After listening to the squad leader's account, Xiao Xuanyuan's brows almost furrowed together. At this moment, he was filled with rage. Those damned bastards surnamed Yang dared to mess with him. They were really courting death. Fortunately, he arrived in time. Otherwise, it was hard to say how badly Qinglin and Xuelan would have fared!

Now that we've already gotten ourselves into this mess, we have no choice but to kill those bastards surnamed Yang. Otherwise, they'll really think Xiao Xuanyuan is someone we can bully!

Xiao Xuanyuan was filled with rage. He immediately issued an order.

"Assemble the Blood Sun Mercenary Group of the Desert and eliminate the Poplar Tree Mercenary Group immediately!"

Chapter Twenty-Seven: The Yang Family's Three Sons, the Yang Family Gun, and the Three Beauties of Black Rock City

The Poplar Tree Mercenary Group is located in the northeast corner of Stone Desert City, separated from the Great Desert Blood Sun Mercenary Group by only a few streets.

When Xiao Xuanyuan arrived with the Desert Blood Sun Mercenary Group, he saw a huge mansion perched on Blood Luo Street. Two blood-red stone lions, each weighing over a thousand pounds, stood guard on either side of the gate, their bodies coiled like dragons and tigers. A huge plaque bore several large white characters written in a flamboyant style: Poplar Tree Mercenary Group.

"Commander, this is it!"

The members of the Desert Blood Sun Mercenary Group led Xiao Xuanyuan to the door and pointed inside.

Upon seeing fifty or sixty people approaching in a grand procession, one of the two quick-witted members of the Poplar Mercenary Group had already run inside to report to their leader.

The remaining person, also pale as an ashes, approached Xiao Xuanyuan and the others, bowing respectfully and asking in an extremely polite manner, "May I ask what brings you distinguished guests to our Poplar Tree Mercenary Group?"

"Get the hell out of here!"

Xiao Xuanyuan stepped forward and slapped the guy away. A series of cracking sounds rang out as he smashed all the bones in the guy's chest, leaving him mangled and bleeding profusely from all seven orifices. He was clearly beyond dead.

Immediately afterwards, Xiao Xuanyuan reached out and grabbed the heavy stone lion next to the door, holding it in his palm. He then flung it towards the tightly closed door.

Boom!

After a loud crash, the huge blood-red stone lion smashed the gate of the Poplar Mercenary Group to pieces. The powerful force, along with the fierce momentum, knocked over a large group of people who were rushing out, killing five or six people on the spot and seriously injuring three or four.

"The Desert Blood Sun Mercenary Group is here! Everyone, get your weapons ready!"

Seeing the endless stream of people rushing out of the courtyard behind the gate, Xiao Xuanyuan sneered and grabbed the only remaining blood-red stone lion beside him with one hand.

Under the shocked and admiring gazes of the many members of the Desert Blood Sun Mercenary Group behind him, he grabbed the stone lion weighing over a thousand pounds with one hand and led them to charge into the Poplar Tree Mercenary Group.

"Kill them all! Leave not a single member of the White Poplar Mercenary Group alive today!"

Xiao Xuanyuan's face was extremely cold, and the aura he exuded made everyone around him feel as if they had fallen into an ice cave several degrees below zero, their bodies chilled to the bone.

Anyone who dares to covet Xiao Xuanyuan's woman, that Yang family bastards don't want to live anymore, so he can't be blamed.

"Are you Blood Sun Mercenary Group from the Desert courting death? How dare you cause trouble on our Yang family's territory?" From afar, Yang Jian spotted Xue Lan and Qing Lin following behind a young man. He rushed out with a sneer and a ferocious look in his eyes, wanting to teach these two excessively beautiful women a lesson.

If the two women were men, he might not have bothered with the Blood Sun Mercenary Group in the Desert. It's just a pity that the two women in charge are so incredibly beautiful. No wonder the Yang family are all lecherous, shameless, and utterly shameless.

Thinking this, Yang Jian, along with his second and third brothers, three clansmen skilled in using the Yang family spear, charged towards Xue Lan and Qing Lin with dazzling and unparalleled fighting techniques!

"Who are Yang Jian, Yang Guang, and Yang Yong? You three cowards from the Yang family, come out before me!"

Just as he rushed into the heart of the poplar forest, Xiao Xuanyuan roared and began searching for the three shameless members of the Yang family. Even though some of his mercenary group members had boasted about how powerful the Yang family spear was, he was determined to test it out and see just how good it really was.

"It is we who are here."

Originally, Yang Jian and his two sons didn't pay much attention to Xiao Xuanyuan, but when they saw Xiao Xuanyuan carrying a huge blood-red stone lion that looked like it was at the entrance of their White Poplar Mercenary Group, they were stunned and didn't dare to say the rest of their words.

I was suddenly extremely scared and terrified.

That blood-red stone lion weighed over a thousand pounds, yet it was swung up by this crippled boy with only one arm, as light as a feather. Just how much strength did that small arm possess? It was terrifying!

Seeing this extremely shocking scene, the three Yang family members felt their legs go weak. Hesitantly, they dared not go forward. Although they were timid and had inadvertently become leaders of the Poplar Tree Regiment, they were not fools. Naturally, they could tell at a glance that Xiao Xuanyuan was extraordinary and powerful.

Even the three members of the Yang family, father and sons, could easily lift the blood-red stone lion that weighed over a thousand pounds. However, it would be difficult for them to lift it as lightly as a feather, as the boy in front of them did!

"oops!"

"what"
