CHAPTER 616: CHAPTER 108: THE DARK NIGHT PAVILION’S INVITATION

The first half of the letter was filled with praises for Ye Beiming, but the latter half was a proposal hoping for Ye Beiming to join the Dark Night Pavilion and serve them.

As long as Ye Beiming followed the instructions of the Dark Night Pavilion in the competition, the Dark Night Pavilion would provide him with the best elixirs and magic potions, and he could also receive a large bonus.

"The Dark Night Pavilion is quite interesting. Long Huo, write a reply for me, just say that I accept their invitation," Ye Beiming laughed wickedly.

"Master? Do you mean to cooperate with the Dark Night Pavilion?" Long Huo was very surprised. The Dark Night Pavilion had clearly offended Miss Yun Sheng, and according to the master’s usual temper, who insisted on every detail, he would never let them go.

But did he imply cooperation with them?

But isn’t the Dark Night Pavilion backed by the Medicine Emperor Pavilion, and aren’t the people of the Medicine Emperor Pavilion sworn enemies with Miss Yun?

Both Long Huo and Long Shui didn’t understand what the master intended.

"Long Huo, you still don’t understand, knowing both your enemies and yourself, you can win every battle. We can only root them out by blending in with the Dark Night Pavilion. They can only blame themselves for offending someone they shouldn’t have," Ye Beiming said as he set the letter on fire, watching it burn into ashes.

Meanwhile, in a brilliantly lit mansion within Sky Wing City.

The Yellow Night Envoy of the Dark Night Pavilion, was holding Liu Qingqing, whose garments were half-undressed.

Under the light, Liu Qingqing’s skin was radiant like a lamb, glowing.

Her face was tear-streaked, looking pitiful, with several noticeable bruises on her face and back, clearly residuals from when she was knocked unconscious during a fall.

"Night Envoy, you must avenge me, that damned wench almost ruined my face," Liu Qingqing is the female warrior who had clashed with Donghuang Lingling in the arena today.

Liu Qingqing, also considered a naturally beautiful femme fatale, had quite a reputation in the Yellow Wing Competition Zone of the Sky Wings Arena, even more infamous than Fengdu Team.

Liu Qingqing was a warrior, who had grown up near the sea since childhood.

When she was born, she was not much different from an ordinary person, except that she had a robust physique typical of sea folks.

At the age of six, while playing by the seaside, she encountered an Eighth-order Demon Blue Spot Sea Octopus Queen that was hunting on the shore.

It was a ferocious demon beast, which preferred to devour large animals and humans, usually lurking only in deep-sea areas.

At that time, due to a typhoon, the Sea Octopus Queen was washed ashore, and after waking up, hungry for food, it roamed around.

Liu Qingqing was dragged into the sea by the Sea Octopus Queen, and the nearby fishermen all thought that she was dead.

To everyone’s surprise, ten days later, a group of Hunter Soldiers happened to be ordered to hunt down the Sea Octopus Queen.

After killing the Sea Octopus Queen, the team cut open its octopus belly and shockingly discovered Liu Qingqing inside, barely alive.

Even more bizarre, Liu Qingqing had swallowed the soul stone of the Sea Octopus Queen during her ten-day stay in the beast’s stomach, not only surviving but also coincidentally fusing with the Sea Beast’s blood and soul stone, which altered her physique from then on.

Liu Qingqing’s entire body became bonelessly soft, much like a soft-bodied octopus, and with a healing ability much stronger than an ordinary person, nearly approaching the toughness of a demon beast.

As an adult, she joined a local Martial Arts Hall and learned a special kind of soft-body combat skill, then later moved to Sky Wing City.

Her entire body was as soft as an inkfish from the sea, with smooth skin, and coupled with her delicate voice, she quickly became a favorite of the Yellow Night Envoy, soon becoming a consistently victorious contestant in the Yellow Wing Competition Zone.

Today’s competition was the same.

According to Liu Qingqing’s original plan, as a newcomer competitor with only early stage of Holy Mage cultivation, she should have easily won.

Who knew that Donghuang Lingling would be so reckless?

In the last moment, she even used up her last bit of Magic Power and severely injured herself.

Donghuang Lingling’s first soul stone was a mutated one. With her Thunderbolt attack, trained by a Dark Gold Master, both her attack power and lethality were astonishing.

She was ready to risk her life just to reach a draw with Liu Qingqing.

In the last moment before she fainted, Donghuang Lingling completed her chanting and released three Thunderbolts.

Even Liu Qingqing, struck by three Thunderbolts at once, passed out on the spot.

If it weren’t for the Sea Octopus Queen’s soul stone within her stirring trouble, she might have been killed by Donghuang Lingling.

This incident deeply infuriated Liu Qingqing. She swore, by any means necessary, even if it involved sniping off the field, she would kill that foolhardy female Mage.

It was only because the Yellow Night Envoy acted timely, arranging for Light Magic and Elixirs to be used together, that Liu Qingqing was saved; yet even so, she would need to rest for two or three days.

Moreover, her record of consecutive victories in the solo competition was broken due to this draw.

Just thinking of this, Liu Qingqing was so angry that her eyebrows twitched, wishing she could chop that competitor, named "Emperor", into minced meat.

She whined a few times, thinking that the Yellow Night Envoy would surely be lenient and agree to deal with that competitor for her; unexpectedly, the Yellow Night Envoy appeared quite different today, even ignoring the allure in front of him and appearing deep in thought.

"Night Envoy, do say something!" Liu Qingqing felt deflated, pushing the Yellow Night Envoy hard.

"Enough, today’s matters are not as simple as you think. That female Mage has a complicated background. Today, the two main bets placed by the Dark Night Pavilion have both failed, and here you are still jabbering," muttered the Yellow Night Envoy with irritation.

He has yet to clarify the true background of the "Flame Emperor" duo until now.

From Liu Qingqing’s injuries, it seems that Donghuang Lingling is not a Dark Mage, at most a Mage with a mutated attribute.

But as for the one called "Yan," it’s not easy to say.

The Yellow Night Envoy has already repeatedly examined Feng Da’s body and confirmed there were no other wounds or traces of natural attribute magic used.

Ultimately, there is only one possibility: Dark Magic.

Unable to discern the opponent’s details, with the Yellow Wing Competition Zone losing two consecutive matches today, both resulting in the death or injury of his key fighters.

Just looking at today’s gambling earnings of the Yellow Wing Competition Zone, the Yellow Night Envoy felt a deep sense of gloom.

No wonder he was annoyed; the competitions in the Yellow Wing area have always been a significant source of profit for the Dark Night Pavilion.

He had also pocketed a substantial profit from it, but today, right under his watch, he faced a huge loss of over a hundred thousand Gold Coins.

Yan versus Feng Da alone cost over forty thousand Gold Coins.

The match between Emperor and Liu Qingqing was even worse. Liu Qingqing was much stronger than Feng Da, yet she ended up in a draw, and in that match alone, the Yellow Night Envoy lost a whopping one hundred and thirty thousand Gold Coins.
