Chapter 96: Chapter 17 Raiders of the Lost Ark

Only a Dark Heavenly Master can levitate effortlessly in the air, Lihua Xue’s Cultivation is merely at Yu Xuan Great Success, how could she possibly float in the air?

The moon is right overhead; Lihua Xue is dressed in white.

The crowd saw that she had acquired an object in her hand, a blue water-colored Dark Pill.

The Dark Pill floated with her in midair, radiating countless rays of light; from afar, it looked as if a Goddess had descended to earth.

Having witnessed this eerie scene, the fighting spirit of the Rebellion Mercenary Group’s mercenaries drastically diminished. Furthermore, the Silver Scorpion Mercenary Group’s personnel seemed tireless, launching one wave of attack after another.

Soon, the situation aboard the Fire Dragon Sail was reversed. Several mercenaries from Rebellion Mercenary were slain on the ship, their crimson blood flowing down the deck into the lake.

Feng Buhui’s eyes turned red with fury as he stared hatefully at Lihua Xue in midair; the Dark Pill in the Dark Power Slot of his crossbow had been completely depleted.

"I advise you to lay down your weapons. This Treasure in my hand can continuously replenish the Dark Energy for Silver Scorpion’s men. If you don’t want to perish from Exhaustion of Dark Energy, it’s best to put down your crossbows," declared Lihua Xue, her beautiful eyes filled with pride.

Two mercenaries from the Blue Crystal Mercenary Group ran out from the cabin, and finding themselves alone, Lihua Xue sternly questioned: "Didn’t I tell you to capture that wretched Yue Jinghua? Where is she?"

"Miss Hua Xue, when we broke in just now, there was no one in the alchemy room," those two Blue Crystal mercenaries fiercely stormed into the alchemy room, only to find it completely empty.

"That wretched Yue Jinghua must have overheard something and fled within the vessel," mocked Lihua Xue, "The back leads to the vast lake; she must have escaped towards the front. The front leads to Dan Demon Tomb, does she think with her weak abilities she can safely leave the Dan Demon Tomb?"

From her tone, it seemed Lihua Xue had already been to the Dan Demon Tomb. When mentioning the Dan Demon Tomb, her face, usually so imperious, showed a trace of terror, as if she had seen something incredibly frightful.

"You’ve been to the Dan Demon Tomb?" Old Teluo, noticing the clues in her expression, questioned. Among the younger generation of mercenaries, Lihua Xue’s strength wasn’t outstanding, but her miraculous performance just then must have been due to some serendipitous encounter.

"It is indeed Old Mercenary Teluo, with Insight superior to others. Indeed, a month before the major mercenary groups received the Blue Diamond Task at the Mercenary Guild, I had already learned of this task’s destination and entered the Dan Demon Tomb in advance," Lihua Xue’s eyes shimmered mysteriously, her hand holding a blue Dark Pearl which emitted a faint light.

A month ago, when a mysterious client sent this Blue Diamond task to the Mercenary Guild, Lihua Xue happened to be on good terms with a staff member there. That staff member accidentally leaked the news.

Lihua Xue is a person eager for quick success and profits. She’s always climbed upward through her brother’s reputation and her own beauty, but as her Cultivation stagnated and she grew older, she realized she was drawing less and less attention from the mercenaries. Especially after the incident involving Ni Qianjun, some people began to mock her behind her back.

She utterly despised Ni Qianjun, and consequently harbored hatred toward the Rebellion Mercenary Group as well.

Thus, she had colluded with the Silver Scorpion Mercenary Group in advance and initiated this ambush. However, she didn’t expect the defenders, only about a dozen mercenaries from the Rebellion Mercenary Group left on the ship under a broken protective formation, would be able to defend the ship so tightly, forcing her to use her last resort.

"Lihua Xue, aren’t you afraid that Ni Qianjun will return to settle accounts with you?" Someone mentioned Ni Qianjun’s name at this critical moment.

"Ni Qianjun? Haha, hahaha, once he entered the Dan Demon Tomb, there’s absolutely no way he could come out again. There’s no Devil Crystal inside, it’s... it’s," Lihua Xue’s lips twitched, her eyes vacant.

"What exactly is inside the Dan Demon Tomb?" That same voice couldn’t help but ask once more.

"There’s nothing there, no, there," Lihua Xue’s words trailed off abruptly; how could there be another woman on board?

A woman on the Fire Dragon Sail? Besides her and Yue Jinghua, who else could it be?

"Why not continue, what exactly is inside the Dan Demon Tomb?" Yue Jinghua sat on the bare mast, hugging her knees and listening intently as if the bloodshed and fighting on the ship had nothing to do with her.

"If you want to know, then go ask King Yan," Lihua Xue raised the blue water bead, muttering words under her breath; the water-blue Dark Energy inside the Dark Pearl burst out, turning into several sharp ice cones as thick as arms.
