CHAPTER 668: CHAPTER 536: ANGRY AT EACH OTHER

It was only a moment, and Wu Zhong and Bo Qing had already exchanged hundreds of moves.

One used a sword, and the other wielded a knife.

Each collision sparked hot flashes of fire.

Strong Primordial Power transformed into raging Gang Winds, hitting the faces of bystanders, causing a stinging sensation.

Ye Lingyue watched in alarm, but was powerless to intervene.

To physically stop them, her strength was far inferior to theirs.

To persuade them, both men were agitated and absolutely unwilling to listen.

After about over five hundred moves, one of the red figures was repelled backward, forced to fall to the ground, retreating several steps.

The one forced to retreat was Bo Qing; evidently, he was still at a disadvantage this round.

He was still no match for Wu Zhong.

A trace of sadness flickered in Bo Qing’s eyes.

"Ah, finally caught up."

At this moment, Yan Jiu and Lan Cai, along with Dao Ge, rushed over.

Upon seeing Wu Zhong and Bo Qing, and also the sullen Ye Lingyue, Yan Jiu and Lan Cai were both puzzled.

"Ling Yue, are you alright?"

Lan Cai had also learned halfway to Purple Bamboo Ridge from Yan Jiu that the Emperor was Ghost Emperor Wu Chong.

Thinking that she and Ye Lingyue had actually joined the Ghost Emperor’s ranks, and even let Ye Lingyue share a camp with Wu Chong for several days, Lan Cai felt a surge of nausea.

Her conscience was greatly troubled.

It’s over, if Brother-in-law Feng knew about this, Drunk Immortal Inn’s business in Beiqing would be ruined. Lan Cai was worried about her money – these days if Yan Jiu found out, who knows if he would slap her dead.

"Xiao Hei, you’ve really scared Wu Chong this time. He was so concerned about you, do you know? When you disappeared, he almost turned Mercenary City upside down."

Yan Jiu glanced at Wu Chong’s deep and dark expression, mumbling to himself how this guy just doesn’t know how to woo a woman.

He hurriedly squeezed in front of Ye Lingyue and started to speak in her favor.

"Who cares about her!"

"Who needs his concern!"

Wu Chong and Ye Lingyue roared almost simultaneously at each other.

After speaking, they glared at each other.

Damn Wu Zhong, dare to yell at her?

Damn stupid woman, dare to yell at him!

Hmph, Ye Lingyue and Wu Chong, both resentfully turned their heads away.

The unfortunate Yan Jiu was about to cramp from smiling; feeling aggrieved, stuck between them, swallowing criticism and receiving scolds.

"Cough cough, so, what exactly is going on here, why do I see members of Hunyuan Sect?" Yan Jiu wiped his face covered in spit and sweat with the corner of his clothes, and glanced at Elder Gu lying on the ground.

The elder’s clothes, bearing the emblem of Hunyuan Sect, caught Yan Jiu’s eye, and he quickly changed the subject.

"I originally planned to search for Qiankun Purple Gold Bamboo at Purple Bamboo Ridge with Bo Qing, where we encountered people from Green Thunder Dao Sect, and later, people from Hunyuan Sect also arrived. The result was that Hunyuan Sect people killed those from the Green Thunder Dao Sect, and Bo Qing and I killed those from the Hunyuan Sect," Ye Lingyue recounted the events.

However, recalling the unusual changes in Bo Qing earlier, Ye Lingyue was somewhat surprised.

"Bo Qing, did you use the Primordial Demon Power?"

On the other side, Dao Ge, upon seeing Bo Qing’s condition, was also shocked. He lowered his voice and asked Bo Qing.

Bo Qing pursed his lips tightly, did not speak, his Bone Demon Sword disappeared, and his hair quickly faded back to its original color.

Once his hair turned black again, Bo Qing looked somewhat weakened. He took some Elixir Pills and rested for a moment before feeling better.

"Thirteen, I’m really sorry about what just happened. In my panic thinking you had been ambushed by Hunyuan Sect, I used a secret technique from our Demon Sect, and since it was my first time, I lost control," Bo Qing stepped forward to Ye Lingyue, looking at her ripped lips with a face full of apology.

After hearing Bo Qing’s apology, Wu Zhong snorted.

"It’s okay, Bo Qing, how’s your body... are you alright?" Ye Lingyue hesitated.

She had heard that most secret techniques could temporarily enhance the body, but the consequences could be severe.

"It’s nothing, I just need to recuperate for a while," Bo Qing replied, his voice cold. "Rather than that, I’m more curious why people from Hunyuan Sect suddenly appeared here?"

Bo Qing’s words made Dao Ge’s face darken a bit.

The answer was already in everyone’s hearts.

"It’s the Mercenary Alliance, precisely speaking, Alliance Leader Song leaked the information to the people of Hunyuan Sect. Bo Qing, I’m very sorry," Dao Ge also felt quite guilty.

He hadn’t anticipated that Alliance Leader Song would do such a thing.

"No need for apologies, I just hope that you won’t stop me," Bo Qing was very upset.

Having been defeated by Wu Zhong, since he couldn’t teach Wu Zhong a lesson, he needed to vent his anger on others.

"Right, Captain Dao, I also think that the Mercenary Alliance deserves a lesson," Yan Jiu chuckled dryly twice.

A month ago, he and his boss had discussed whether to expand their influence. Maybe, the Underworld Yama Palace should add a nineteenth Yan City.

Dao Ge frowned, understanding the consequences of angering Jueqing and the Underworld Yama Palace.

He wanted to say something, but when he saw Lan Cai’er standing next to Yan Jiu, his heart ached.

"I won’t stop you, but I owe the Song Family father and daughter after all. I only hope that you can do me a favor and spare their lives."

This was Dao Ge’s biggest concession.

On the mainland, the famous Mercenary Alliance was overrun overnight.

It was said that after Alliance Leader Song, the Alliance Hierarch of the Mercenary Alliance, had his Dantian crippled, he and his daughter were expelled from Mercenary City.

However, unlike what Yan Jiu had anticipated, Mercenary City eventually did not become the nineteenth Yan City but instead became the first city under Ye Lingyue, known as Daxia Yuehou.

The original Mercenary Alliance quickly became the new City Lord’s Mansion.

Ye Lingyue ordered her alchemists to dig out the Green Thunder in the area around Purple Bamboo Ridge.

The Qiankun Purple Gold Bamboo disappeared abruptly, and the people of the Purple Bamboo Ridge area, who had become refugees, gradually returned to their native lands.

"Come on, Xiao Heizi, aren’t you being a bit too heartless? We did the hard work, and it’s you who gets the benefit," Yan Jiu complained in dissatisfaction.

"Yan Jiu, can you stop being so petty, are you still a man? It’s not just your contribution in the attack on the city, look, the biggest heroes, Wu Zhong and Bo Qing didn’t even say a word," Lan Cai’er was quite pleased with the outcome.

During the attack on Mercenary City, Wu Zhong, and Bo Qing, as if they hadn’t fought enough earlier, displayed explosive combat prowess and wiped out most of the Mercenary Alliance’s forces.
