Chapter 172 - 59: The Crystal Stone That Brings Misfortune
"What?" Yue Jinghua was shocked. "Where did this news come from? But is it true? Who are the dead?"
If Yue Jinghua had truly forged bonds on this foreign continent, aside from a few people at Jingxin Courtyard, it was the several mercenaries from the Rebellion Mercenary Group.
Especially Ni Qianjun and Feng Buhui, who had been through life-and-death experiences with her; she regarded them as true friends.
Several mercenaries from the Rebellion Mercenary Group dead? Could they also...
Mercenaries are constantly treading the line between life and death. However, as one of the well-known mercenary groups on the continent, the loss of several mercenaries from Rebellion without a significant task at hand was undoubtedly a major event.
"Are you worried about that redhead kid?" Seeing Yue Jinghua’s face change slightly with emotion, Xie Yu felt somewhat jealous. He squeezed a few words through his clenched teeth, "Rest assured, that kid isn’t dead. The ones who died are some of the older mercenaries of Rebellion. These mercenaries were carrying out two separate missions. One group was to deliver crystals obtained from the Dan Demon Tomb to the client. The other group, supposedly, was delivering Devil Crystals as compensation to the families of the mercenaries who died during that mission. The reason the Assassin Alliance is paying attention to this is because of the unique way they were killed—all were fatal blows, with wounds entirely from..."
Xie Yu used his finger to trace a line from his throat down to his navel, "Those mercenaries with Dark Earth Cultivation were almost powerless to fight back and were killed. All the Devil Crystals they were carrying are gone."
Devil Crystals, it was the Devil Crystals she sent out that had caused their deaths.
A sour pain rose in her throat, and Yue Jinghua paused, "Do you believe that these crystals are truly possessed by devils, bringing misfortune to those who possess them?"
"I don’t believe in that, but I am certain that the crystals represent some sort of danger. If not necessary, don’t let anyone know that you possess these crystals. An innocent man is guilty if he carries a jade of great value; this principle, on the ruthless Dragon Road, is an unbreakable iron rule," Xie Yu took the crystal, Ah Ta gave Yue Jinghua a meaningful look, and turned to leave.
Yue Jinghua fell into deep thought.
Xie Yu’s words reminded her that the value of Devil Crystals could have different effects in different hands. But since someone was willing to pay the price of a Blue Diamond Task to find these crystals, it undoubtedly proved their precious nature.
