The way Si Xiaochun looks right now, let alone soone from Huangquan City, even if the City Lord stood right in front of him personally, they wouldn’t recognize him.
He’s wearing a fitted won’s outfit with narrow sleeves, his hairstyle changed by Ye Lingyue. Si Xiaochun, with his naturally delicate features, is still a teenager who hasn’t completely grown up. His voice isn’t deep yet. With a bit of makeup, he looks just like a pretty young girl.
"Let’s swap identities. This way, no one will suspect us. Look, we’ve walked all this way, and I guarantee no one recognized you. We just happen to be participating in the mixed-gender partner competition." Ye Lingyue had no other choice.
She had killed a mber of the Heroic Society, and before she found the Sky Wolf Stick and the Qiankun Purple Gold Bag, she couldn’t reveal her identity.
Convinced by Ye Lingyue’s persuasion and the necessity for the revival of the City Lord’s Mansion, Si Xiaochun accepted this helpless reality.
Inside the Underground Bank of the Heroic Society.
A backbone-level Heroic Society eting was taking place.
But unlike usual etings, this was a Mirage eting.
A Mirage eting isn’t a face-to-face eting with real people.
Instead, it’s a special array that allows people from different cities to transcend space and geography, conducting a eting simultaneously at the sa ti.
Qin Dong, who had just recently earned the qualification to participate in the Mirage eting for his rits, stood uneasily to the side with several Heroic Gathering mbers.
Ahead, several dozen phantoms appeared.
These phantoms gradually beca clear. Everyone was wearing black robes, hiding their true faces, making it impossible to see what they really looked like.
"How’s the preparation for this Underground Arena Competition going?"
The speaker was a man standing in the middle.
The rest of his face was covered except for a pair of outstanding peach blossom eyes, slightly raised at the corners, exuding a bit of demon nature, making him stand out among the crowd.
"Dongzi, the president is asking you a question. This competition is Qin Dong’s responsibility."
Beneath the man was a young and seductive woman.
Although she was also wearing a robe, unlike the others, her robe was customized, emphasizing her fiery figure.
The woman had captivating red eyes that seed to occasionally glance at the sallow-skinned man while she spoke.
Yet, the sallow-skinned man seed oblivious to her, which left the young woman, confident in her looks, sowhat frustrated.
Qin Dong, being called upon, snapped to attention and hurriedly stepped forward.
Even though these people were in faraway cities, Qin Dong dared not be careless.
"Reporting to the President and Vice President, all preparations for the Underground Arena Competition are complete. The prizes have also been decided. Please, esteed ones, evaluate them."
As Qin Dong spoke, he ordered soone to bring out several prizes and the rules and program of the Underground Arena Competition.
This ti, Qin Dong was determined to win the favor of the higher-ups.
He also added so embellishnt to make the competition sound more interesting.
"Mixed-gender partner battle, now that’s sothing new."
The peach blossom-eyed man listened, showing a hint of interest.
Typically, Underground Arena Competitions are divided into n’s and won’s divisions, which sowhat decreases the excitent of the matches.
But a mixed-gender partner competition is different.
It will likely attract more spectators. People say that pairing n and won makes work less tiring. I wonder if pairing them in a fight makes it less tiring too.
"Those few prizes are quite decent. Qin Dong, what’s that thing?"
The fiery-figured woman wasn’t interested in the so-called competition. Her fiery red eyes settled on a small bag among the prizes.
The bag seed to be a storage bag.
However, its design and pattern made the fiery-figured woman like it a lot.
"Vice President, that’s a storage bag I once accidentally obtained."
Qin Dong, looking at the Qiankun Bag, thought of Ye Lingyue.
He was just short of flipping the entire Huangquan City upside down, but still couldn’t find any trace of Ye Lingyue.
There are only two possibilities: either Ye Lingyue is no longer in Huangquan City, or Ye Lingyue has accomplices who are hiding her.
Thinking of Zhang Zi’s dead state, as long as Ye Lingyue isn’t removed, Qin Dong can’t rest easy for a day.
This ti, his purpose in hosting the Underground Arena Competition was personal. He hoped to use this opportunity and the mixed-gender competition to lure Ye Lingyue out and capture her in one swoop.
"I rather like that storage bag. Remove it from the prizes; I want it."
The fiery-figured woman was quite headstrong and wanted the Qiankun Bag.
"Vice President, it’s not that I’m unwilling, but this Qiankun Bag has a spiritual power imprint on it. The imprint is quite peculiar and can’t be removed. Even if you take it, you won’t be able to use it."
Qin Dong secretly worried.
This bag was his plan to lure Ye Lingyue out.
"Hmph, Dongzi, what do you an? Do you think with my cultivation, a re spiritual power imprint can’t be broken?"
Upon hearing this, the woman’s beautiful eyes widened.
Around her, beautiful flowers began to appear.
The flowers looked like lotus blossoms, or perhaps night-blooming cereus. The most distinguishing thing was that these flowers weren’t real flowers but clusters of flas.
Seeing those flas, Qin Dong got quite a fright and could only seek help from the man with peach blossom eyes.
"Tan Su, you know the rules of the Heroic Society. Don’t make unreasonable demands. That’s a prize. If you want it, participate in the Arena Tournant."
The man languidly stated.
With just a word, the woman nad Tan Su went silent.
She reluctantly glanced at the Qiankun Purple Gold Bag, secretly thinking that in this world, there’s nothing she, Tan Su, couldn’t have. Just wait, sooner or later, the bag would be hers.
"Proceed as you said."
With that, the black figure faded away, and the other dozen individuals disappeared simultaneously.
As they vanished, the pressure in the eting room dissipated.
Qin Dong breathed a sigh of relief.
"Damn, almost scared the crap out of . This new president is just as intimidating as rumored, makes you scared just looking at him."
Behind Qin Dong, several Heroic Society mbers also let out a sigh.
"Being able to directly assassinate the old president, this new president must have a significant background, otherwise, that sly fox Tan Su wouldn’t be cozying up to him, eager to climb into his bed."
Qin Dong also wiped the cold sweat from his forehead.
It turns out the Heroic Society had a major event recently. The old president, who had controlled the Heroic Society for over twenty years, was unexpectedly killed.
The peach blossom-eyed man had taken over after that.
Though he’s newly appointed, no one dares to defy this new president’s intentions.
It’s said that the new president led the Heroic Society into the top hundred during the Great Wilderness hunt.
