The Black Beast s Useless Concubine - Chapter 35

A Cornered Dog

Masked men in black clothes rushed into the assessment hall. They gave off an air of savagery as they filed in in lines.

There were only a few hundred masked men but their aura was stronger than the thousands of city guards that previously barged in.

“Lord Yun, bandits! You should disperse the participants,” Qing Xuantian said coolly.

These men were unquestionably under Qing Xuantian’s orders. He knew if the elegant approach failed, he would have to forcibly kidnap Bai Ye. The ‘bandit attack’ was just a cover to avoid a confrontation with Qin Ban.

However…

“Bastard!” Mu Yunzhan was not an idiot. He admonished, “Qing Xuantian, do you really think you can get away with this? Soldiers!”

At Mu Yunzhan’s command, an army of heavily armored soldiers assembled neatly in the assessment hall. Their stance and formation suggested they were experienced soldiers.

The summoned army was approximately a hundred men strong. On each of their right arm plates, the word ‘Tianxuan’ was etched in red. These men belonged to the standing army of the Tianxuan Empire!

“It’s the official army of the empire!”

“My! I hear even the weakest soldier in the standing army can kill a Mystic Warrior!”

“F*ck…”

The crowd was excited.

“I’d like to see which of you decides to misbehave.” Although Mu Yunzhan was not in armor, he radiated the aura of a field general. Many ladies swooned at the handsome display of masculine authority.

Qing Xuantian’s face paled—he was out of moves. He did not expect Mu Yunzhan to have a squad of professional soldiers with him.

This…

This was not right.

Based on the intel he had gathered, there was no way this was Mu Yunzhan’s army. Why were these Tianxuan soldiers here?

“Master Mu, your official rank does not allow you to command the Tianxuan Empire’s official army. Dispatching them for personal reasons is punishable by death,” Qing Xuantian argued, unwilling to back down.

“It’s not for personal reasons. They are here to maintain order and ensure the Erudition Trials proceed smoothly. These bandits are interfering with the assessment. Have no mercy!” Mu Yunzhan ordered.

Backed into a corner, Qing Xuantian threw caution to the wind. “Hold on! They are not bandits, they are soldiers from the Qingyun estate. I’m taking my fiancée back with me and none of you can stop me!”

He would have Bai Ye!

If she entered the Erudition Trials, he would have trouble getting to her.

The look on Bai Ye’s face when she made the blood oath frightened Qing Xuantian. He wanted to take her home and erase those bad memories.

He was aware of the power residing in Bai Ye’s body. The Scripture of Bai would make her a formidable force.

The Scripture of Bai allowed its inheritor to unlock the unique abilities of the Bai family. Bai Zhan was known to be able to tame any beast!

If he failed to subjugate Bai Ye, the Qing family might…

“Take her away!” Qing Xuantian knew there was no turning back. He was willing to risk facing Qin Ban as long as he got Bai Ye.
