"What?" When Yuchi Peng heard that, he stood up in shock.
As he was overly agitated, the chair beside his legs was overturned onto the ground.
A deathly aura appeared on his pale face.
After some time, he suddenly laughed out loudly.
He laughed until his entire body was twitching as he stared at Duke Jing's eyes, but it was filled with sorrow and emptiness.
Ye Qing Luo frowned slightly but didn't interrupt Yuchi Peng's crazy laughter.
Until Yuchi Peng couldn't catch his breath from laughing so hard as he couldn't stop coughing.
He coughed as his legs were unstable as he fell onto the ground.
He didn't get up as he just laid on the ground with his four limbs spread out.
Ye Qing Luo poured a cup of tea as she slowly got up and walked to his side, passing the water to him.
Yuchi Peng who was lying on the ground didn't bother about the cup in front of him.
His gaze was still empty as his lips curled into a smile, "Do you know, the one who told me that the Mercenary Association would issue this high grade rare mission that day, was someone from the dark forces."
When he said that, the entire hall fell into a dead silence.
The cup in Ye Qing Luo's hand shook as she frowned and speedily placed the cup aside as she grabbed Yuchi Peng's collar, "What did you say?"
"Black cloaked man, stooped figure, ear piercing voice, unable to differentiate gender ….."
Word by word, he repeated what Duke Jing had said earlier.
Following that, his pale lips trembled, "It's this black cloaked man who told me that the Mercenary Association would issue a mission to head to Death God Castle to steal the Exquisite Pagoda and Duke Jing would help me to complete the mission safely."
"Didn't Duke Jing bring you to do a deal with the dark forces, haven't you seen the black cloaked man?" Ye Qing Luo's brows creased suspiciously.
Earlier Yuchi Peng's performance was that he totally didn't know what the dark forces were.
Moreover, Yuchi Peng was the future patriarch of the Yuchi family. If he had seen the black cloaked man and told him about this mission, why would he sign a soul deal with the black cloaked man through Duke Jing?
Based on Yuchi Peng's intelligence, he naturally knew that something was amiss.
"No." Yuchi Peng's left hand's fingers clenched tightly into a fist.
The smile on his face slowly turned into pain.
The thirst for power had blinded his eyes.
It was also because he was too confident, believing in his own ability and also believing that under his influence, Duke Jing wouldn't have the guts to lie to him.
He had never seen the so-called dark force emissary.
Everything was done through Duke Jing.
Everyone fell silent.
Yuchi Peng was directly brought over from Death God Castle.
After that, he asked the Iron Blood Warriors to bring Duke Jing to exchange for Yuchi Peng.
The two of them had no chance to collude in advance.
After all, Yuchi Peng had always believed in the dark forces' energy and had always believed that as long as the dark forces' energy was attached to him, not to mention one Ye Qing Luo, even if ten of them came, he wasn't afraid at all.
Furthermore … Yuchi Peng's appearance did not seem to be faking it.
When the words of these two people were combined, it was a huge conspiracy.
Ye Qing Luo squinted her eyes as she stared at Yuchi Peng whose face was ashen as she raised her voice, "Jin Zi, arrange a few brothers to send Eldest Young Master Yuchi and Duke Jing back to the Iron Blood Warriors first!"
After Yuchi Peng and Duke Jing were sent away, Long Yun Zhan's dull azure blue eyes looked towards Ye Qing Luo, "This dark forces' motive …. is directed at you?"
Ye Qing Luo returned to her own seat and sat down as she nodded her head with a grave expression, "I also have this feeling."
Linking Yuchi Peng and Duke Jing's words together, it was obvious that there was a pair of invisible hands behind the scenes, pushing the development of the plan.
