That person wasn't very tall, and he had an evil sneer on his face. A dark green light shone in his eyes, giving him a ghastly appearance.
The dagger, which had an ancient style, was sheathed at his waist with layers of black substance. With a single glance, Lin Yue could tell that it was blood that had congealed.
Seeing the young man that appeared in the room, Lin Yue's heart suddenly sank as he called out: "Dugu Huangyu!"
Standing in the room, was actually the disappeared Dugu Huangyu after the battle of Netherworld Sect!
Dugu Huangyu grinned sinisterly, and said: "I never thought that you would actually be able to obtain the qualifications to be in the top one hundred amongst the eighth phase of the Leader Board.
Lin Yue looked carefully, and only saw a layer of dense ghost aura on Dugu Huangyu's body, but he could not see his true cultivation.
However, there was a trace of a dark red scar on the ghost aura's surface. No matter how dense the ghost aura was, it could not cover up the scars.
When Dugu Huangyu saw Lin Yue staring at him, the smile on his face stiffened. He slightly tilted his body and used his sleeves to cover the scar.
Lin Yue's eyes flashed as he returned back to normal and said with a cold smile, "Back then when I chased after your Master Ling Xiaoyu and found his corpse at the bottom of a cliff, you should have killed him, right?"
"Master only has a crippled body, so even if I don't kill him, he won't be able to live for long. If I kill him and take his Corpse Qi Bead, I can live a better life, which would be equivalent to Master living a better life."
Lin Yue had activated his Martial Soul in secret and prepared for a fierce battle. His and Dugu Huangyu's cultivation was at the same level at the beginning, but now that he suddenly appeared, Lin Yue felt that this fellow was even more troublesome to deal with.
Dugu Huangyu bared his teeth, as if he had seen through Lin Yue's thoughts, and sneered: "With just you, I can kill you in less than half an incense's time. However, I do not want to kill you yet, you can relax."
Lin Yue was startled, frowned and said, "You aren't here for revenge? "What do you want to do?"
Dugu Huangyu's eyes shone with a green light as he stared at Lin Yue and said, "I've come to find you because I want to make a deal with you."
"Trade!?" Lin Yue was even more confused.
"I'll be frank, I need a large amount of cultivation resources right now, and the best would be a dense amount of Spirit Pill and spiritual medicine. If you can help me get it, you can also ask me to help you with something of equal value, how about it?"
The room quietened down immediately. Lin Yue's gaze at Dugu Huangyu still showed that he was strong. His body was innately filled with an untamed wildness, just like a wild beast.
After a moment of silence, Lin Yue suddenly spoke out: "Are you heavily injured?"
Dugu Huangyu's expression suddenly changed, his eyebrows revealing a look of surprise, he returned back to normal and sneered: "Do you think that's possible?"
The corner of Lin Yue's mouth curled up, and he said indifferently: "You can just remove all of the ghost aura in your body first, let me see if you're injured, so you'll naturally understand."
Dugu Huangyu laughed coldly: "Lin Yue, you just have to say it, whether you agree or not, you don't need to care about anything else!"
"How can I trust you? If I give you the Spirit Pill spirit medicine, if you get stronger, what about killing me instead? You can even kill Ling Xiaoyu, let alone me. "
A solemn look appeared in Dugu Huangyu's eyes as he said in a heavy voice, "Even though I hate you, killing early and killing late are the same. Before this deal is completed, I will absolutely not make a move against you!"
"But I don't believe you."
The green light in Dugu Huangyu's eyes suddenly extended outwards by a few inches, the ghost aura around his body violently surged, a cold killing intent swept across the room and a series of cracking sounds rang. The furniture in the room were shattered by the powerful ghost pressure!
However, he had to suppress his anger again and shouted in a low voice, "Then how do you think we should trade? "How can you trust me!?"
Lin Yue said expressionlessly: "It's simple, you do things for me first, and if you perform well, I can give you a portion of the Spirit Pill. After that, you can continue to do things for me, and I will give you another portion of the Spirit Pill, and so on.
"I am not your slave!" Dugu Huangyu roared angrily.
"I am also not your Pill Master!" Lin Yue did not give in at all, and said with a cold smile. "You want the Spirit Pill and spirit medicine, that is my condition, whether you agree to it or not is up to you."
Lin Yue was certain that Dugu Huangyu was indeed injured, and such injuries could only be healed by a pill with sufficient spiritual power. Otherwise, he definitely would not have come to find him.
Sure enough, Dugu Huangyu's expression changed. After hesitating for a moment, he finally gritted his teeth and angrily said: "Alright, we agree to the deal!"
Lin Yue was ecstatic. Even he could not see through Dugu Huangyu's current cultivation, but one could imagine how much combat power Dugu Huangyu had. To be able to turn such a strong expert into a slave, was extremely beneficial for him.
After settling the things here, he would have to go to Ancestral Land of Chu Family to save Ling'er. His Ancestral Land of Chu Family was renowned throughout the world, and could be considered as a dragon's lagoon or tiger's den.
Immediately, Lin Yue made Dugu Huangyu stay in the room next door where Gao Xuan used to live. Dugu Huangyu was severely injured, and now that he was asked for help, believed that he would not dare to sneak in an attack.
After running and controlling the sword for a long time, Lin Yue was completely exhausted. Now that he had Dugu Huangyu, this evil star, guarding next door, and the assassin was unable to enter the vicinity, Lin Yue relaxed his body and mind. He cultivated for half a night and spent the rest of the night in a deep slumber.
Soon, the stars and moon spun, and dawn arrived once more.
Lin Yue woke up early, and felt the Genuine Essence's liquid flowing in his body. He revealed a smile, and walked out of the room, preparing to make another trip to the Qing Yun Sect.
Right now, the competition for the Leader Board s had come to an end. In the next few days, there would be a slot for the Leader Board s' resources, and Lin Yue wanted him to be allocated under the Holy Shield Trading Company.
When Lin Yue arrived at the Greencloud Temple, he followed an old butler into the courtyard. In the ancient forest in the courtyard, Qingyun Zi was sitting there.
And Qingyun Zi was not the only one here, there were other people present as well. When they saw Lin Yue walking over, one of them immediately shouted in pleasant surprise, "Lin Yue!"
At this time, Lin Yue had already seen the figure of the person on the stone table in the forest. It was actually Qin Yao and Xiao Kui'er.
Xiao Kui'er's face was dirty, filled with black dust, only her eyes were still shining, it was obvious that she had suffered a lot during this journey.
Qin Yao's condition was slightly better, but her overall aura was extremely weak, and in the span of a day and a night, she felt as though she had starved for ten days.
"Xiao Kui'er, Princess Qin Yao, you two are back?" Lin Yue walked over and looked at the two of them happily.
Qin Yao nodded and looked at Lin Yue carefully. Seeing that there were no major injuries on her body, the worry in her eyes quietly faded as she said in a low voice, "It's good that you're fine."
Qingyun Zi said apologetically: "Princess, it is all because of this old man's lack of restraint, I never thought that they would actually be so daring to kill people without any reason. This old man has already decided, the next day, we will go back and settle this rebellion, we will definitely take revenge for nanny Liu and ensure her loyalty and peace of mind."
Xiao Kui'er clenched her fists and said, "And that old Taoist from the Ninth Peak, he's the last one. It hurts so much from hitting him, I must heavily punish him!"
Qingyun Zi nodded in agreement.
Not long after, an inner official brought eight nanny s over and brought Qin Yao back to the imperial palace. Qin Yao did not want to go back, so the inner official kowtowed and held up a plaque, which was actually the Imperial Consort Qing's imperial concubine order.
Seeing that, Qin Yao knew that her mother was truly angry. If she did not go back now, she would be unfilial.
At the moment, she could only nod her head, and when she left, Qin Yao turned to look at Lin Yue. Her pair of eyes contained a deep meaning, and although she wanted to say something, she hesitated. But in the end, she did not say anything, and silently followed the inner officer out of the Qing Yun Temple.
