Chapter 478: It’s never too late for a gentleman to take his revenge
Translator: Misty Cloud Translations Editor: Misty Cloud Translations
“It’s never too late for a gentleman to take his revenge.” Yuchi Peng hissed each and every single word out, as his eyes were masked with a layer of vicious currents.
His clenched his fists tightly, “For the Iron Blood Warriors, we must endure this anger for now.”
When they talked about the Iron Blood Warriors, Duke Jing’s expression alleviated slightly.
“In order to develop the Iron Blood Warriors, we must rely on the Mercenary Association’s strength. Duke Jing, it might be a little aggrieved right now but never mind, one fine day…. We will get our backs back!”
Saying that, Yuchi Peng seemed to have thought of something as a smirk of chilly smile flashed past his eyes, “They won’t be complacent for too long. They thought that they had snatched away the high grade rare mission from my hands and they would be able to complete that mission… hah, other than me, no one else will be able to complete this mission.”
Yuchi Peng’s few words managed to coax Duke Jing completely.
Upon hearing about the mission, Duke Jing already had some questions on his mind, “What kind of mission is that? Just for a mission you actually brought everyone over today in a jiffy to register for the mercenary group.”
If it wasn’t for the fact that Yuchi Peng was in a hurry to register their mercenary group, they would have spent a bit more time in the marketplace to subdue Ye Qing Luo those lasses.
Then those lasses would not have appeared in the Mercenary Association.
Iron Blood Warriors would not have to face today’s predicament.
Yuchi Peng gave a cold laugh, “High grade rare mission. Just completing that mission alone our ordinary mercenary group will be able to ascend to a bronze plate mercenary group.
No matter how ignorant Duke Jing was, he also understood everything regarding mercenary groups.
He naturally understood how difficult it was for mercenary groups to ascend.
Just one mission alone and they would be able to ascend to bronze plate immediately!
No wonder Yuchi Peng put in so much effort to it.
“That mission had been snatched away by The World group, then won’t they be able to ascend earlier than us…..”
“Want to complete that mission…. Just based on them…..” Yuchi Peng scorned disdainfully as his lips tugged.
Following that, he looked towards Duke Jing, “Within three days if they are not certain that they will take on this mission, then this mission will eventually return to our hands. These days, station yourself at the Mercenary Association’s mission wall and pay attention to it. This high grade rare mission, we must get it at all costs!”
Knowing that this mission would be able to make their mercenary group ascend to bronze plate, Duke Jing also placed emphasis on it.
As a new officer, he received his first mission so Duke Jing patted his chest as he raised that unhurt arm and answered seriously, “Right, this Duke will stick my eyes on this mission!”
There was a regulation when mercenary groups retrieved their missions in the Mercenary Association.
After mercenary groups retrieved their missions, if they had not certified that they had accepted this mission then after three days, they would be seen as giving up on the mission.
Then that mission scroll would turn into an ordinary scroll.
Not earning any Mercenary Association’s rewards.
Whereas this mission would then be placed back on the Mercenary Association’s mission wall to allow other mercenary groups to retrieve it.
Yuchi Peng looked at the pleased Duke Jing, as an invisible sneer flashed past his eyes.
He kept away the disdainful look towards Duke Jing as he retracted his vision.
The two of them had not noticed that on the treetop of a tree in the shadow was a slender figure who stood in the wind.
Ye Qing Luo’s eyes were narrowed, as her lips curled into an arc which didn’t quite resemble a smile.
As expected, her guess wasn’t wrong.
Yuchi Peng had registered for his mercenary group today just for this high grade rare mission.
And towards this mission, he was totally confident of it.
Where did this kind of self-confidence came from?
Could it be that… Yuchi Peng really could freely went in and out of Death God Castle without getting harmed, and retrieve the Exquisite Pagoda?
No matter how she thought, it was just impossible.
Chapter 479: Strange, Yuchi Peng isn’t Yuchi Peng

There was no way that Yuchi Peng had any relationship with the security guards in Death God Castle.
He was able to tempt the guards in the Mercenary Association to obstruct Ye Qing Luo.
But there was absolutely no way to use the same method to let Death God Castle’s security guards open the back door for him.
Then…..
There was one last possibility.
The Exquisite Pagoda…. Was not in Death God Castle.
Or perhaps, it was in Yuchi Peng’s hands.
If it was true, then that would be easy to deal with.
Looked like, if they wanted to complete this mission, they would be able to start from Yuchi Peng.
After Yuchi Peng’s group headed back to Three Springs Town, they then separated.
Duke Jing had suffered such a major humiliation today, so at this point of time, he could not wait to complain to his Uncle Monarch immediately.
As for the other mercenary soldiers, their morale had taken a huge beating so all of them appeared tired and were sent back to their Iron Blood Warriors campsite to rest for the day.
Yuchi Peng headed straight back to Yuchi family’s residence.
His expression was sunken, as his entire body unleashed shockingly vicious currents.
Those servants and maids who came across him, avoided him from afar, not even daring to greet him at all.
Yuchi Peng’s courtyard was located in the southern part of Yuchi family’s residence, and was the largest courtyard in the entire residence.
Ye Qing Luo stopped outside the courtyard.
Her vision was fixed on the courtyard as her slender brows creased tightly into a knot.
Here it was again…
That kind…. The disgusting feeling which she felt when she first met Yuchi Peng.
There seemed to be something in this courtyard.
Something which made one felt extremely uncomfortable.
“Lass.” Old Man Cang’s voice was emitted abruptly in her mind, “I’ve been sensing that this Yuchi Peng is very odd, and now upon seeing this courtyard… I discovered that this courtyard is even weirder.”
Ye Qing Luo raised her hand and placed it on her chest to suppress that uncomfortable feeling.
It indeed was very weird.
So weird that all the pores on her entire body all opened wide.
“Lass, don’t go in…” Old Man Cang’s voice was solemn and grave, “This feeling is too strange, even I’m unable to predict accurately what is the source which gives of this feeling…. strange, simply too strange!”
“It’s too late.”
Indeed it was too late.
While Ye Qing Luo was engaged with Old Man Cang’s conversation, her vision had been fixed on Yuchi Peng.
Right after Yuchi Peng entered his courtyard, the vicious currents coming from his entire body became even more intense.
Following that, his entire being seemed as though he had lost all strength as he stumbled onto the ground with both his palms holding him up, as his head hung low, buried in his hair.
Following that there were no more movements.
Then simultaneously while Old Man Cang was telling her not to enter.
Yuchi Peng who had been sprawling on the ground and not moving for quite some time, suddenly turned his head around.
With his hair pouring down in torrents on his face, a penetrative pair of eyes like an icy cold poisonous snake rightly twirled itself around Ye Qing Luo.
Yuchi Peng still didn’t move.
But Ye Qing Luo knew.
He had seen her.
That pair of eyes was strange and cold.
Ye Qing Luo’s heart was filled with terrified emotions.
That pair of eyes….
That expression absolutely didn’t belong to Yuchi Peng.
That wasn’t an expression which Yuchi Peng was capable of having.
This recognition made Ye Qing Luo turn icy cold from head to toe.
For the first time in her life, Ye Qing Luo developed a helpless mentality.
That gaze was too frightening!
“Oh no lass!” Old Man Cang’s voice suddenly turned sombre as his tone was filled with fluster, “He… he’s not Yuchi Peng, I finally know why this courtyard is so strange!”
Ye Qing Luo gave a bitter laugh.
She guessed it already, that this person was not Yuchi Peng.
To put it in a more accurate form, after entering this courtyard, this body,no longer contained Yuchi Peng’s soul.
But even though she found out about this shocking truth.
Ye Qing Luo still had no way to leave.
She believed.
That if she were to move, “Yuchi Peng” would absolutely rush forward immediately…
