"Who said our General Pavilion was located here?"
"Although I don’t know which island it is on, I’m sure it’s around here. With the General Pavilion here, you must be quite familiar with the Phantom Sea Domain. Finding people would then be a piece of cake for you."
"Eh, who does business by looking for people like that? This is a downright threat!" Fen Jian complained dissatisfiedly.
"Marrow-Cleansing Pill."
"What?"
"The reward is 100 Marrow-Cleansing Pills," said Dugu Qianye.
"Deal!" Fen Jian agreed on the spot, grinning like a fox.
In fact, Zi Xiao, that unreliable Pavilion Master, had instructed them to cooperate unconditionally with Dugu Qianye. However, Fen Jian felt uncomfortable if she didn’t cough up sothing! Marrow-Cleansing Pills were good stuff, haha!
Then Dugu Qianye described the appearance of the person she was looking for to Fen Jian. Upon learning that she was looking for four people, Fen Jian raised the price on the spot, demanding 100 Marrow-Cleansing Pills per person. Dugu Qianye readily agreed and paid the more than 100 remaining Marrow-Cleansing Pills she had as a deposit. Dugu Qianye couldn’t bear to tell him that she could refine them all for him in a day.
However, she seed to have forgotten the incident where Marrow-Cleansing Pills were auctioned off at sky-high prices in Baishi City.
Having settled the deal, Dugu Qianye returned to Yingke Courtyard, just in ti for lunch. Just as everyone was about to start eating, they heard soone outside shouting, "Baili Xie, co out and et your doom!"
People from the four great empires all ran to the courtyard to see who was courting death. Although so of them disliked Dugu Qianye, they recognized her strength. It was surely a suicidal action for an ordinary person to provoke her!
"Here we go again," Dugu Qianye said with a sigh, putting down her bowl and leaving the dining hall. She hadn’t eaten yet today, and was now famished. This Master Niu was preventing her from having lunch; she would definitely make sure he would regret it later!
"Baili Xie, co out and et your doom!" Master Niu kept bellowing outside, attracting many passersby.
Dugu Qianye went to the front gate and saw Master Niu standing outside with his hands on his hips, looking arrogantly proud as if he could already see Dugu Qianye being brutally beaten. Behind him stood a person with arms crossed over his chest, looking sowhat similar to Master Niu, probably the famous Niu Yan. It seed that with Niu Yan’s return, they were now ready to seek vengeance for his elder brother.
Seeing Dugu Qianye coming out, Niu Yuan stepped back next to Niu Yan and said, "Brother, that’s her! She’s the one who stole my beauty and had her Contract Beast kick flying. She even threatened yesterday."
Niu Yan looked average, and you’d lose sight of him if he was thrown into a crowd. Yet contrary to his na was the icy and even chilling aura about him. His gaze toward Dugu Qianye was filled with killing intent, cold as a venomous snake.
"You dare to ss with my elder brother; you’re certainly bold!"
"Is that so?" Dugu Qianye said with a light laugh, "I’ve always been quite bold."
"Since you’re so eager to die, I will oblige you. Outside the city, on the beach, I’ll be waiting for you." Niu Yan said, then summoned his Contract Beast, the Fire Dragon, pulled Niu Yuan onto its back, and flew off towards the outskirts of the city.
"Boss, you can’t go," Sang Yu grabbed Dugu Qianye and said, "It’s all because of and my mother; we can’t let you go again. That Niu Yan I asked about, he has already advanced to Phantom Emperor."
Dugu Qianye said, "Don’t worry, I’ll be fine. What about don’t you all know? Wait for , I’ll be back for lunch."
After Dugu Qianye finished speaking, she called out Xiaojiu, mounted it, and followed Niu Yan out of the city. Although everyone knew Dugu Qianye had many trump cards, they couldn’t help but worry. They all called out their Contract Beasts and followed her. Only Xie Ping was left in the cafeteria, leisurely enjoying his food.
Outside the city, Niu Yan directly had the Fire Dragon land on the beach, with Dugu Qianye following close behind. Niu Yuan and the students from Empire College were left a bit further away.
"Baili Xie, also known as Dugu Qianye, of the Mo Family from Pu City, the first place in the personal duel of the four major Empire competitions," Niu Yan said. "I have always wanted to see what the genius praised by others looks like. I wonder what it would be like if they knew the genius they admire died at my hands."
Dugu Qianye, watching Niu Yan’s increasingly excited eyes, knew this was a formidable opponent, soone who fights without regard for their own life.
Knowing that Dugu Qianye had a Divine Beast, Niu Yan directly called out all his Contract Beasts. In addition to the Fire Dragon, there was also a Level 5 Divine Beast, the Snow Claw Leopard, and a Level 7 Divine Beast, the Ground Bear.
Dugu Qianye called out Xiaohuo and Xiaoyin, joining Xiaojiu to do battle with Niu Yan’s three Phantom Beasts. Although the students of Empire College knew that Dugu Qianye had several Divine Beasts, seeing Xiaoyin’s true form still terrified them, especially since her Lifesoul Contracted Beast was actually the Divine Bird Phoenix!
"Every ti I watch my brother fight, it’s discouraging!" Dan Jingtian said. "I really want to go and stand shoulder to shoulder with him in battle!"
"The boss’s Contracted Beasts are so badass; no wonder the boss is so terrific!"
"It seems that this Baili Xie was still hiding her strength during the four major Empire competitions!"
Niu Yuan, hiding in the distance, looked at Dugu Qianye’s Phantom Beasts and secretly breathed a sigh of relief. It was lucky he didn’t personally engage her; otherwise, his life would probably be long gone.
"Divine Bird Phoenix?!" Niu Yan exclaid in surprise as he watched Xiaohuo frolic in the sky, "I didn’t expect you to have a Phoenix; indeed, your strength is not to be underestimated."
"Stop the nonsense; I’m still waiting to go back for dinner. Co on!"
Dugu Qianye, having spoken, took the initiative to attack. Not intending to reveal the fact that she possessed multi-elent Phantom Techniques, Dugu Qianye opted for a fire-elent Phantom Technique, hurling fireballs at Niu Yan as if they cost nothing. Niu Yan also employed Phantom Techniques, and to her surprise, they were the rare thunder-elent! Little bolts of lightning struck the fireballs, scattering all the fireballs Dugu Qianye had sent out halfway to the target.
Seeing her fireballs scattered, Dugu Qianye gathered Phantom Power again, condensing it into a Fire Dragon. This ti, Niu Yan didn’t attack directly with Phantom Power; instead, he tapped his toes, soared into the air, raised both hands upwards, attracting the change of the winds and clouds. The sky, which had been sunny just monts ago, was quickly covered by dark clouds, colliding to produce flashes of lightning, so striking at the Fire Dragon and so targeting Dugu Qianye.
Dodging the lightning coming her way, Dugu Qianye employed the Ethereal Step Technique, continuously changing her position to avoid attacks. She also had to dodge the Phantom Force attacks sent out by Niu Yan. Now he was in the air and she was on the ground, which was disadvantageous for her.
"Xiaohuo!" Dugu Qianye shouted towards Xiaohuo in the air.
Xiaohuo, playfully teasing the Fire Dragon, was having a blast. This could be said to be Dugu Qianye’s first ti letting her fight; she was overjoyed, giggling as she saw the Fire Dragon fleeing in a sorry state. Hearing Dugu Qianye’s call, the mind-linked Xiaohuo imdiately understood her intention and spat a mouthful of fire towards the Fire Dragon, severely injuring and grounding it. Then she flew to Dugu Qianye and carried her into midair.
