Chapter 1341: Chapter 168: Exposing the Conspiracy
After the first round ended, one after another, several more people went up on the arena to challenge Yu Shang and Chi Muguang.
After a few bouts, the arena rose higher and higher, but each time, it never lasted more than 15 minutes before those challengers from the continent Beast Clan were all killed by Yu Shang.
But compared to earlier, no one dared to openly provoke Yu Shang anymore; the other Beast Clan people on the continent already knew Yu Shang was not someone to mess with.
After a full day of matches, both the Ba Snake Tribe and the Sky Fox Tribe, unsurprisingly, successfully held their arenas.
The Eight Desolate Beast Clan were, after all, the top Beast Clan on the Bahuang Continent. Even the two Beast Clans ranked at the very bottom still had a much deeper foundation than the other Beast Clans.
On Yu Shangâs side of the arena, ten bodies had already been thrown down one after another.
Those corpses, piled together, made a small hill, quite a visual impact.
In contrast, on Chi Muguangâs side, only two were killed and eight injured; the Ba Snake Tribeâs way of defending the arena could be called gentle and drizzle-like.
Because of this, once the match ended, Yu Shang earned herself the glamorous title of Yu Xiu Luo, drawing quite a lot of attention, which left the Chi father and son very depressed.
"Fox Clan Leader, you really are shrewd and calculating. Itâs just, I wonder if you can stay as lucky as on the first day in the days to come." Chi Zhanfeng said sourly.
Chi Zhanfeng now had to admit Yu Shangâs strength was very formidable. Even if Chi Muguang fought her headâon, he might not gain much advantage. Could it be that Yu Shang was that old fellow Hu Qianqiuâs newly chosen Holy Daughter?
But at the same time Chi Zhanfeng also believed that, apart from Yu Shang, the others shouldnât be that strong. He refused to believe Hu Qianqiu could send out a fighter like Yu Shang every single day in the days ahead.
"Clan Leader Chi can rest assured, in the next few days, I definitely wonât let you down." Hu Qianqiu said, face full of smugness.
Hu Qianqiu also had a good idea in his heart: the warriors for the next few days definitely couldnât compare to Yu Shang.
But Yu Shangâs recent performance was shocking; the deterrence she created was enough to last for several days. In the coming days, there shouldnât be many arrogant fools who would dare to casually provoke the Sky Fox Tribe again.
As dusk approached, Hu Qianqiu led a group of Sky Fox Warriors and swaggered off.
"Damn it, I donât know where Hu Qianqiu dug up such a young expert. If this keeps up, our Ba Snake Tribeâs limelight will be completely stolen." Chi Zhanfengâs face was full of dissatisfaction.
"Father, donât worry, I just got some news." Chi Muguang whispered a few words into Chi Zhanfengâs ear.
"Oh? Is that true? The Sky Fox Tribe people really donât know how to behave; they even dare stir up trouble on someone elseâs turf. In that case, in a few days thereâs bound to be a good show." After hearing the news, Chi Zhanfengâs gloom vanished.
Aside from Chi Zhanfeng, behind the seemingly calm first day of the arena matches, undercurrents were already surging.
In a luxurious mansion in Tianyong City, Li Liqingâs subordinates had already spent some money and obtained the firstâhand schedule of appearances from the Second Elderâs personal Attendant.
The Sky Fox Tribe and the Ba Snake Tribe had both already submitted the order of appearance for the next nine days.
"Lu Yunshuang, Yun Shengâthese two women are arranged as the fifth and sixth. Judging from their slots, the two should only be average goods. Tell those continent Beast Clans to hold their troops for now. When itâs those two womenâs turn to defend the arena, give them a proper âwelcome.â" Li Liqing sneered.
After the opening battles of the first day, the following days of matches were, just as Hu Qianqiu had predicted, much more subdued.
Whether it was because of Yu Shangâs earlier intimidation or not, over the next few days, the challengers on the Sky Fox Tribeâs arena were all cowards. By the fourth day, the Sky Fox Tribe had already claimed four consecutive victories.
As for the Ba Snake Tribe, they werenât so lucky. On the fourth day, the Ba Snake Warriors defending the arena were beaten down, and the Ba Snake Tribe suffered their first loss.
This made the faces of the Chi father and son even uglier.
"As long as we win two more matches, the Sky Fox Tribe can take the arena tournament with a complete victory. Lu Yunshuang, Yun Sheng, the two of you bear a heavy responsibility. Tomorrow and the day after, you must not be negligent." Hu Qianqiu solemnly exhorted the two.
That night, Yun Sheng applied needles for Lu Yunshuang.
"Yun Shuang, Iâve temporarily removed a few Dark Needles from your body, but because they were taken out on short notice, the time needed to alter your constitution will have to be extended by another two years." Yun Sheng was applying needles to her at Lu Yunshuangâs request.
In terms of true strength, Lu Yunshuang was far inferior to Yun Sheng and Yu Shang. Her trump card to win against her enemies was her icy constitution.
For the sake of this arena tournament, she decided to temporarily give up altering her constitution.
"The arena tournament concerns the safety of my clansmen. Itâs only one year; I can wait." Lu Yunshuang said calmly.
On the fifth day, it was Lu Yunshuangâs turn to defend the arena. As soon as they reached the square, Yun Shengâs brows furrowed.
At first glance, the square looked no different from the previous days, but on closer inspection, the people in the square today were much stronger than in the past few days.
Especially a few Beast Clan Warriors lingering beneath the Sky Fox Arena; their strength was extraordinary.
What was going on?
"Master, something feels off. My ears just picked up someone saying... âstinking women, itâs those two, the one surnamed Lu...â" Bo Bo was following right beside Yun Sheng; instinct told her something around them was not right.
"Mm, looks like thereâs some trickery. Bo Bo, come with me." Yun Sheng and Bo Bo moved without a sound, their two figures slipping to the side of one of the warriors, closing in on him from left and right.
While Yun Sheng was observing, Lu Yunshuang had already gone up on the platform. Everyoneâs attention was focused on the arena. Taking advantage of that moment, when no one was paying attention, a Beast Clan warrior in the crowd suddenly "fainted" and was quietly carried away.
With a smack, that warrior was thrown to the ground.
When he opened his eyes, he saw two dazzlingly beautiful faces, only both faces were now filled with danger.
"You... what do you want?" Before that Beast Clan warrior could finish, Bo Bo had already pummeled him with a crackling flurry of blows.
After beating him, Bo Bo searched him and fished out two portraits.
"Huh, they actually drew Master this ugly!" Bo Bo glanced at the portrait, rolled her eyes, and went up to kick the Beast Clan warrior a few more times.
Yun Sheng, however, was staring with great interest at the reward written beneath the two portraits.
A Bounty Order issued by the Hei Qilin Tribe?
How come she didnât know when she had offended some bigshot from the Hei Qilin Tribe?
"Master, should we go warn Sister Lu, or hand this Bounty Order over to the higherâups of the Hei Qilin Tribe?" Bo Bo asked worriedly.
"No need. If they want to come, let them. Itâs just that theyâre underestimating Yun Shuang far too much." Yun Sheng curled her lips, looking rather leisurely as she gazed toward the Sky Fox Arena.
