Little Sorcerer, Divine Doctor

Chapter 730 - 223: The Vicious Senior Sister

These Martial Artists had long been in cahoots with Ke Ling.

In the past, it was upon entering the Dutian Beast Blood Realm that Ke Ling’s unlucky junior brothers and sisters were secretly assassinated by this group of people.

Newcomers who enter the Dutian Beast Blood Realm for the first time must survive independently for three days and three nights.

During these three days and nights, the newcomers can’t expect any help—they have neither companions nor mentors.

Yun Sheng was no exception. Ke Ling harbored a grudge against Yun Sheng for tripping her several times and remembered it all too well.

In the Mainland Magic Elite Camp, with the presence of a Dark Gold Master, Ke Ling could not make her move.

She had been waiting for an opportunity, and as soon as Yun Sheng entered the Dutian Beast Blood Realm, she would find someone to do the deed.

Inside the Dutian Beast Blood Realm, there was an abundance of Blood Cloud Beasts, as well as other Martial Artists, Mages, or Summoners who had entered to train.

Especially recently, as a Dark Gold Master mentioned, there seemed to be some unusual activity from the Demon Beasts in the Dutian Beast Blood Realm. For this reason, the three-day and three-night survival trial this time would be personally led by the cautious Second Elder.

The original plan to send three hundred trainees into the Dutian Beast Blood Realm was also reduced to a hundred.

It can be said that the trial of these hundred trainees involved the elite among the newcomers.

In such a case, to kill Yun Sheng without leaving a trace—even if the Dark Gold Master became suspicious—it would be impossible to link the crime back to Ke Ling afterwards.

"Ke Ling, you’re being too stingy. Besides, I’ve heard about that girl named Yun Sheng. She’s become very popular recently. Rumor has it she’s also a key trainee of several elders in the Magic Elite Camp, and she’s even called the Fighting King. Twenty thousand gold coins for her life, isn’t that too cheap?"

The group of Martial Artists was dissatisfied.

It was a chance occurrence that led them to collaborate with Ke Ling.

It was because during one occasion, when they assassinated a female trainee from the Magic Camp, Ke Ling caught them in the act.

Using this as leverage, Ke Ling threatened them, and so, they accepted the assassination job from her at such a low price.

But as time passed, especially after Ke Ling had used them to kill several junior brothers and sisters, this bunch started to resent being exploited by her.

Furthermore, the assassination targets in the past were quite ordinary, easier than killing a Blood Cloud Beast. They had only reluctantly agreed to help because Ke Ling was willing to exchange some Elixirs and gold coins.

However, if the target was a person of special interest to the elders of the Mainland Magic Elite Camp, killing her could potentially draw unnecessary trouble.

These Martial Artists were not fools; if the elders from the Magic Elite Camp made a fuss in the Martial Artist Elite Camp, they would be in serious trouble. They might even be kicked out of the Martial Artist Elite Camp, leading to a loss far outweighing the gain.

"What kind of Fighting King she is? She’s just scraping by in the lowest Yellow Wing Competition Zone of Sky Wing City, winning merely out of luck. I heard that she only clinched the championship in the annual competition because Sky Wing City was in chaos, she just opportunistically took advantage of the situation. Otherwise, with her cultivation, she’s simply an Early-stage Holy Mage who had just made a breakthrough. It’s extremely easy for you guys to kill her," Ke Ling said, knowing full well that this group had been dwelling in the Dutian Beast Blood Realm for a long time and were typical bullies who preyed on the weak.

They wouldn’t dare provoke the strong ones like Senior Sister Ye Beiming Lan.

Therefore, Ke Ling cunningly didn’t disclose Yun Sheng’s other identity—as the fiancée of Beiming.

Otherwise, even if you gave this group a hundred times the courage, they wouldn’t dare to come close to Yun Sheng.

Upon hearing Ke Ling’s analysis, this group indeed plucked up their thievish courage.

The Mainland Magic Elite Camp is different from the Continent Martial Artist Elite Camp.

Martial Artists are the result of hard training, and many come from poor families.

But Mages are different; from Magic Wands and Mage Robes to the daily use of Magic Potions, all of these cost a lot of money.

To be able to enter the Mainland Magic Elite Camp, one must come from a wealthy family.

Imagine, Yun Sheng was still a newbie trainee who had just returned from Sky Wing City, and she was also a Fighting King.

She must be carrying money or Magic Artifacts for self-defense.

"Yun Sheng still has a lot of prize money. Plus, I can tell you another secret, Yun Sheng is one of the two girls who killed Scar Nan’s brother earlier," Ke Ling added fuel to the fire.

"What, those two women! Damn it, I’ve been looking for those two women to avenge my brother," one of the Martial Artists with a scar on his face jumped up upon hearing this.

The incident involving Yun Sheng and Donghuang Lingling as Jade Zither and Spicy Little Pepper was known to very few.

Ke Ling also found out about it because she saw some instructors from the Martial Artist Elite Camp coming to provoke and learned of it afterward.

The brother of the man called Scar Nan was also a Martial Artist of the Elite Camp.

He had previously gone with a few fellow disciples to the Magic Elite Camp to seek romance but was killed by Donghuang Lingling in an unexpected confrontation.

Ke Ling was also framing; Yun Sheng was only responsible for injuring others, while it was Donghuang Lingling who did the killing; however, Ke Ling blamed everything on Yun Sheng.

"What about the other woman? I must take revenge for my brother," Scar Nan only had one brother, a veteran trainee at the Martial Artist Elite Camp, with the strength of an Early-stage Martial Saint.

"No hurry, the other one is called Donghuang Lingling, she’s not in the camp recently. But once you’ve killed Yun Sheng, next time, I will definitely bring her over as well," Ke Ling said gleefully, seeing that her trick had worked on the group.

"I heard that woman is very alluring, it’s been a long time since I’ve encountered a beautiful female Mage," hearing this, the Martial Artists all started drooling with anticipation.

"Then it’s decided. Before Yun Sheng sets off, I will leave a special magic mark on her. You can use this sparrowhawk to track her down," Ke Ling saw that her scheme had succeeded and gave ten thousand Gold Coins to the men, then returned to her residence.

In a few days, Yun Sheng and nearly a hundred other new students who were participating in the Dutian Beast Blood trial for the first time will head to the Dutian Beast Blood Realm under the leadership of the Second Elder to begin their first Blood Refining.

Before departure, Gu Feng and Qi specially sought out Yun Sheng for a small gathering at the Elite Camp’s tavern.

"Yun Sheng, there are many Demon Beasts in the Dutian Beast Blood Realm, and you must be vigilant at all times. At night, do not light a fire, and when sleeping, it’s best to find a place with distant water and stay in a tree," Gu Feng fussed over Yun Sheng like a mother hen, endlessly.

"Here, take this map, the blue areas are the Water Source Area, the red areas are the dense Demon Beast gathering places, and the yellow areas are rest zones," Compared to Gu Feng, Qi’s advice was much simpler and more straightforward.

Yun Sheng looked over the map, noting that Qi’s map was concise and clear, and he had carefully differentiated each area with colors.

"Hey, hey, Qi, you’re playing favorites. Why didn’t you give me such a good map when I entered? I wondered why you’ve been looking sleep-deprived these days; turns out you were busy drawing maps," Gu Feng complained, grumbling that Qi valued love over friendship.

Qi blushed; he was naturally not good with words and feared Yun Sheng might misunderstand, leaving him unsure of what to say.

It was Yun Sheng’s first time participating in the trial, and he was also very nervous.
