As the old general’s son, Duke Jing had been received into the Royal Palace by the Sovereign and pampered unlimitedly.
Although it was said that under the Sovereign’s pampering, this general’s son had completely turned into a piece of trash.
But a general’s bloodline was still one.
Duke Jing admitted that he was a general’s son so he should also have his father’s kind of lofty sentiments.
Especially while he was seeking pleasures, the criticism he heard of those people outside the palace.
Duke Jing wanted to do something big, to prove that he wasn’t that kind of useless person, slapping those people ferociously on their faces.
It was then when he got acquainted with Yuchi Peng.
After meeting Yuchi Peng, he had been influenced by Yuchi Peng’s lofty sentiments and his persistence towards his dreams.
He then treated Yuchi Peng as his own brother whom he could speak from the bottom of his heart to.
Yuchi Peng also enjoyed their conversation, feeling that he was extremely talented with both brain and brawn. Even if he didn’t have the name of a Duke, he would probably become somebody in future.
These two chimed together easily.
They then thought that they could establish a mercenary group together.
Yuchi Peng would be the group leader, responsible for all the matters on the surface.
Whereas Duke Jing would be responsible for all the internal affairs regarding the mercenary group, which was, in short… a money tree.
Seeing the Iron Blood Warriors growing bigger, Duke Jing seemed to see himself standing on the top level in the mercenary group, issuing a call for action and ten thousand people responding to his call.
The blood in his heart was lit by Yuchi Peng.
He kept urging Yuchi Peng to establish the mercenary group at the Mercenary Association.
But Yuchi Peng kept using the reason that the group’s ability wasn’t powerful enough now, and they weren’t able to use the fastest time to raise their mercenary group grade to reject him.
Seeing that the Iron Blood Warriors growing to a total of five thousand men, and they had even forcefully obtained the marketplace which was the only route to the Mercenary Association, becoming the tyrant there.
Duke Jing was extremely delighted.
Under Duke Jing’s urge to establish a mercenary group so that he could flaunt his ability in front of his Uncle Sovereign, Yuchi Peng finally nodded, agreeing to proceed to the Mercenary Association to register their mercenary group.
However, Yuchi Peng stated a request.
Yuchi Peng hoped that using Duke Jing’s name, they could gather a bunch of cultivators with Earth Profound Grade and above. These cultivators will also need to be able to move swiftly, as well as recruit a large gang of thieves from all over the world.
He said this was all for the development of the mercenary group.
Duke Jing had always been listening to whatever Yuchi Peng said.
The minute he heard that it was for the mercenary group, he didn’t put too much thought into it.
He didn’t even mention a word to Uncle Sovereign as he directly set up a booth in front of the Duke’s residence entrance, recruiting thieves and cultivators.
Just at this moment, the dark forces came to look for him.
It was a man dressed in black clock entirely.
His figure was rickety and his voice was so hoarse that it was ear piercing, totally unable to differentiate the gender of the black cloaked man.
Black cloak man directly attracted the investment of Duke Jing, saying that he wished to discuss a deal with him.
Black cloaked man told him that the reason why Yuchi Peng was looking for thieves was so that he could enter Death God Castle to do a mercenary group mission.
If he was willing to trade his soul, then the black cloaked man would grant them enough power to complete this mission, and raise their profound grade.
Duke Jing immediately nodded as he agreed to it.
He had always been bold and reckless, assuming that with his Uncle Sovereign around, the entire West continent had to give him face.
Naturally he had not even considered the fact that someone would cheat him.
He was willing to use his own soul as a trade, to upgrade his strength to complete the mercenary group’s first mission.
But he had not expected that the black cloaked man thought that his soul was too weak and rejected this deal.
Hence, Duke Jing brought Yuchi Peng.
As the Eldest Young Master of a cultivator family, Yuchi Peng was naturally being raised as the future Yuchi family’s Patriarch, so the strength of his soul was definitely not weak.
Strong men always desired power.
After having a taste of the preliminary power by the dark forces, Yuchi Peng then signed the agreement to trade his soul with the dark forces…
