Chapter 451 “The Big Show”
As worrisome as she was about Qiu Tian’s safety and that freakish eyeball within the Black Valley, Ling Yue’s mind must still deal with the other issues at hand after escaping with her life in tact, especially when she made another visit to the Underground City that night.
Unlike her usual habit of visiting the Novice area to swindle the fighters there, this time she was heading to the intermediate area instead. Its not that she wanted to leave so soon, rather she’s forced to because of all the dirty and fearful looks coming her way.
After that incident with Cheng Gang the other night, there’s not a single soul left who wasn’t aware of her infamy, this included any newcomers that happen to enter because that’s just how famous she had become.
Of course, it’s not like she’s running out of options after losing her business in one area, at least she’s earned enough to fuel another two shots with her Black Yuan Cannon thus far. That’s a very good trade in her opinion.
But just when Ling Yue was about to enter the intermediate area to test her luck at swindling more victims, the girl was suddenly stopped by someone she’s all too familiar with: Jin Wu Monster.
The old fella wanted to invite her to watch a good show in the high level public area. This undoubtedly perplexed the girl herself because it’s not like they didn’t know Ling Yue’s cultivation.
“Go to the high level public area? Hey Old Monster, it’s not like you don’t know my strength. Going there is the same as seeking my own death. Unless you are dying or lacking money then don’t come find me.” With a wave of her hand, she promptly turns around to leave again.
“Hey now Chief, do I look like someone that would sell out his own to others? If I say there’s a good show to be had then there’s going to be a good show to be had. Hehe, remember that boy Luo Song? He’s being confronted by someone, but if Chief doesn’t want to see his fate then I can always go alone for the grand finale.” When bringing up the topic of that arrogant boy being challenged, there’s almost a sadistic glee in the old monster’s voice like he’s enjoying this more than earning money.
“What? Does the foe not know Luo Song’s background?” Ling Yue asks, bewildered by who the other side would be.
“Oh of course they know. It’s impossible not to know when that brat kept reminding everyone around him who he was. However, that doesn’t mean his background is able to deter his opponent this time. Keke!”
Speaking of it, this time the old monster really did go through quite the effort to line up the dots needed to make Luo Song hit it up with the other party.
“The other party’s background is even bigger than the Three Life Valley? Can it, the Three Schools?”
Sure the Three Life Valley was definitely among one of the top powers among the nine major sects. Still, that doesn’t mean they can compete with the three main schools who had abstained themselves from the mundane.
“As if, that Luo Song is clearly the type to bully the weak and cower before the strong. If he learns the foe is from one of the Schools then he would’ve bolted long before this night. Anyways Chief, lets stop talking now before it’s too late. If we don’t move then we’re going to miss the good show.” Without any explanation, Jin Wu Monster promptly made a grab for the girl’s arm and dragged her away for the high level area.
Unlike the Novice public area’s casual setup, this location that’s meant for powerful masters and high level alchemists are much more refined in its taste. For example, there are five main competing rings of considerable size here, one in each corner and one super large one in the middle.
“Chief, let’s stand over there, its better suited for us than that side.” Jin Wu Monster then points to a spot in the middle of the crowd where it’s just the right distance to avoid getting caught up in the fight if anything occurs.
But just as they were walking to the indicated location, that’s when Ling Yue noticed a deep sharp gaze shooting over from her back. It was Hong Ming Yue, the girl has apparently took notice of Ling Yue’s presence from the opposite direction.
Because of what occurred back at the Tai Yi School’s secret territory, the two of them were already at odds even back then with Ling Yue disguising herself as Red Thirteen, that’s why Hong Ming Yue would take notice this quickly in light of there being so many people.
It’s not like the ice-cold girl didn’t try to investigate this supposed Red Thirteen character way back when she first returned to the capital, just that her sources were all useless and couldn’t come up with any information. Therefore, to encounter the “boy” here of all places, it’s no wonder why Hong Ming Yue would be so obsessed with the lad’s arrival.
I knew it, that Red Thirteen is a person of the dark forces, that’s why I couldn’t find anything out about him. The disdain on the girl’s face only grew thicker after assuming this fact.
“Damn evil dissidents, you people think you can compete with us! This time we will show you what it means to be the garbage of this world!” The ones crying this out just then was the group of people that’s currently standing with Hong Ming Yue in the arena.
“Damn bitches, this group of dogs and slimes actually dare to look down upon us. Everyone, kill them all!” The opposing party also fires back with their own insult, but…. how should Ling Yue put it, they are odd?
There’s no doubt about the second group’s strength, just that their form of wardrobe can be quite intriguing. First up was the variety of colors, pink, purple, green and a mix of red and such. It’s not so bad if it was only the females wearing such brilliant colors, but why are the males also wearing such clothing while being so bloodthirsty on their faces?
But after a brief contemplating, Ling Yue then understood why. These people must be comprised of the members of the dark powers in this Underground City #9, a very strange bunch even for her open mindset.
Then again, she didn’t really have the qualifications to make fun of others when she’s in no better position to do so. As the sect of the Ghost Sect, Ling Yue also often cross dressed herself as a male. If this becomes public knowledge, anyone would quickly assimilate her with the evildoers of this world too!
So, the fact that she’s currently standing in the audience corner of the dark forces wasn’t out of character at all, a fine choice the old monster made without her consent.
Although these underground cities does belong to the biggest and baddest evil organization in these lands – the Underground Palace – but make no mistake, the number of those so called righteous individuals coming here wouldn’t lose out to the dark forces at all. As such, it’s unavoidable that the participants would eventually be divided into two major sides.
The first would naturally be the so called good and righteous faction, the other being the dark and evil faction. This clear divide wasn’t all that obvious in the Novice area, after all, that location was mainly comprised by irregulars who happen to make a random visit. But here in the high level area though, it’s particularly prominent.
After some quick inquiry of the people nearby, Ling Yue soon learned the reason for this huge brawl on the centre arena: it’s a confrontation between the supposed good and evil here.
So why the big commotion? It’s actually all due to a single incident recently.
While a female alchemist of the dark forces was roaming the Underground City one night, a supposed warrior from the righteous side had taken a fancy of this girl and forcefully raped the victim once they were out of the place.
Naturally this wouldn’t sit well with the female alchemist who suffered such indignation, that’s why she returned to challenge her rapist. The end result was an utter defeat once again by the male within the ring. Then as if that wasn’t enough, the poor female actually had her clothes completely torn apart before the entire crowd and was forced to flash her private parts for all to see.
Evil or good, no one deserves such humiliation, that’s why it quickly snowballed into a huge confrontation of this size.
