Chapter 43 - 43 Sacred Beast Egg

43 Sacred Beast Egg

Beiting Huang was dozing off in the central tent, nodding her head bit by bit. When Yan Ye came in, she suddenly woke up and jumped up from her seat. She leaped to the door in one step and looked Yan Ye up and down.

He had a face that was so devilish that it could shatter the heavens and the earth. His long white hair was scattered like snow. He was wearing a luxurious black robe, and the spider lilies woven with golden threads bloomed beautifully. He was not as disheveled as Beiting Huang had imagined. If not for his pale face, Beiting Huang would have thought that the full moon disaster that everyone in the Central Continent knew about was just a legend.

“I told you I’ll be fine!” Yan Ye did not miss the worry in Beiting Huang’s eyes. He thought to himself that this little thing still had some conscience.

His bright purple eyes looked at Beiting Huang as if she was a red sun. Behind him, the four guards followed him in. Qiong Qi, Bai Ze, and Beiting Huang had been together for half the night, so they were especially familiar with each other. When they saw Beiting Huang’s questioning gaze, they nodded at her, indicating that it was fine.

Beiting Huang heaved a sigh of relief and was led out of the tent by Yan Ye. He was here to call her out.

The sun had already appeared in the sky. Other than the central tent, all the other tents had been put away and the teams had been assembled. Yan Ye held Beiting Huang and stepped into the air. He faced everyone. The wind in the Sunset Forest blew his hair. Behind him, the red sun gradually revealed the horizon, but it became his background.

He floated in the air as he faced the group. His cold aura made him seem even more cold and heartless. He was like the commander of the three armies, and his might intimidated everyone.

“I’ve already received news that the holy beast has fled to the Dark Canyon with the egg. The five deacons of the Divine Hall of Judgment were killed by the divine beast summoned by the egg. Now, the Divine Hall of Judgment has sent two more inquisitors. All the organizations, forces, and individuals present here can continue if you want to accept this mission. If you want to withdraw, the reward will still be paid!”

Upon hearing this news, everyone who had originally guessed that the egg was only a divine beast egg was endlessly shocked. To be able to summon a divine beast to protect it, it must be a magical beast that was even stronger than a divine beast. Was that the legendary sacred beast egg?

Holy beasts were equivalent to third-grade professionals among human professions, and divine beasts were equivalent to fourth-grade professionals. What about sacred beasts? No one dared to imagine.

“If that’s the case, Your Highness, our Snow Wolf Mercenary Group will withdraw from this mission. We didn’t do anything, so the reward is waived!” Qin Yu made a prompt decision. If it was a holy beast, with the snow wolf’s strength, it might have the ability to fight. But divine beasts and sacred beasts? Forget it. Riches could only be enjoyed if they were alive.

“Young Master Qin Yu is indeed a young genius of the Central Continent. You’re very sensible. Let’s retreat!” The leader of the Black Water Mercenary Group was a middle-aged man with a long beard. His name was Huang Yuan. He cupped his hands at Beiting Huang. “Ninth Young Master, I respect you as a young hero. In my eyes, you, Beiting Huang, are the role model of the younger generation of the Beiting family. If there’s a chance in the future, I want to have a drink with you!”

“Alright!” Beiting Huang nodded with a smile.

When several forces came to bid farewell, they did not forget to flatter Beiting Huang. Perhaps most of these forces were doing this for the sake of His Highness, the Night King. However, this continent valued martial arts. If Beiting Huang was indeed trash, even if the Night King’s power was too great, these people would not be willing to lie with their eyes closed.

“Little Ninth, the Dark Canyon is the most dangerous place in the Sunset Forest. Why don’t you not go and follow me?” Qin Yu still did not forget to help Beiting Huang who was part of the Night King’s Manor.

“No!” Beiting Huang shook her head. “I’m already employed by the Night King’s Manor, so I have to end things well. Besides, I also want to see what a divine beast looks like.”
