Chapter 941: What’s with the Divine Artifact Mission?
“Back then, the Night King’s Manor issued a mission regarding divine artifacts. It was an S-rank mission. After this mission was released, it was not announced to the public. They only said that they would choose one of the mercenary groups. As long as they helped complete the mission, they would be able to advance to an S-rank mercenary group. It was also because I was too greedy and wanted to make Black Water the only S-rank mercenary group on the continent…” Huang Yuan sighed. It was obvious that he regretted it endlessly.
The team member with the broken arm came forward and supported Huang Yuan. “Leader, this is not your fault!”
“It’s my fault. At that time, the leader of the Snow Wolves, Brother Qin, even advised me that the winds howl around the highest peaks. I thought that I had a guest like Lord Bei Ye in the team, so I became greedy.” Huang Yuan pushed away his brother who had lost his arm and lowered his head in front of Beiting Huang. “I only gave that Black Water Token to Lord Bei Ye after thinking about it. I was already greedy at that time. Lord Bei Ye is an amazing beast tamer. I shouldn’t have!”
“Our Leader also did this for his brothers in the mercenary group. Our Leader always took pity on the poor treatment of the brothers in the mercenary group. I heard that every mission completed by an S-Grade mercenary group will receive a much higher remuneration than an A-Grade mercenary group. That’s why he had such thoughts,” said the crippled member of the Black Water mercenary group with tears in his eyes.
There were only three people left in the once famous mercenary group, and they were all old, weak, sick, and disabled. It indeed made people feel a little desolate.
“That’s all in the past. Tell me about the poisoning!” Beiting Huang’s voice was cold, and the expression on her face was unclear. All he could see was her dark eyes, which were abnormally bright and mixed with a few complicated emotions.
“Lord Qiong Qi from the Night King’s Manor found the Black Water and Blizzard Mercenary Group to discuss this mission. He wanted to choose between us. I went to the Night King’s Manor. On the way back, I was ambushed by Blizzard. They found someone from the Taiyi Palace and stabbed me. If Old Brother Qin hadn’t arrived in time, I’m afraid I wouldn’t have been able to survive.” Huang Yuan’s emotions were no longer fluctuating as he talked about the past. Blizzard had already been destroyed by Beiting Huang. This was something everyone on the continent knew.
“What’s with the divine artifact mission?” Beiting Huang asked.
“Actually, it’s just a cover!” Speaking of the divine artifact mission, Huang Yuan shook his head helplessly. “I didn’t know much about the divine artifact because I quit halfway. I only heard that the Blizzard Mercenary Group was asked to transport the divine artifact from the Night King’s Manor to Yan City. With the Night King’s Manor’s strength, there was no need for the mercenary group to take action at all. However, along the way, the Divine Hall of Judgment attacked many times, but they were always exterminated by the Night King’s Manor. I believe this is just a cover.”
Beiting Huang understood. By using the matter of the divine artifact to lure out the ambush of the Divine Hall of Judgment, the Night King’s Manor could attack the Divine Hall of Judgment. The divine artifact was indeed just a cover.
A heaven-sent blood contract, a heaven-sent blood contract! These words suddenly appeared in Beiting Huang’s mind and she couldn’t help but recall what Yan Ye had said. “The greatest use is to collect the four divine artifacts and change the rules of heaven and earth, even if it’s a heaven-sent blood contract.”
“… She was afraid that the Devil Emperor would follow her, so she asked the Devil Emperor to do two things for her!”
“The first was to let the Devil Emperor avenge her and terminate the heaven-sent blood contract. The second was to let the Devil Emperor wait for her. She said that no matter how long it takes, she would come back.”
The four divine artifacts were used to break the heaven-sent blood contract. Beiting Huang felt as if a huge rock was pressing down on her chest, making her unable to breathe.
