Chapter 13 - A Wretched Scheme

[You have failed to defeat the Ancestor!]

The mountain shook as the ground rumble. It was as if the mountain was angry. Soon the gates to the mountain opened and the masked girl came thumbling down.

For a princess such as her it was an embarrassing moment. When she went past the gates they immediately shut themselves as if saying. "We don't welcome pest such as you!"

The ten men that came with her rushed to her side. One of them checked on her condition to realize that there were faint bruises on her body and even her mask was cracked a bit.

"Isn't it said that the towers only affect the mind and soul so how is the princess injured?" The man who checked her wounds commented while pointing his finger at Yu Yaojing. "Why is your rotten race so different?!"

Yu Yaojing stare at the finger then back at the man and at the finger again with a foolish smile.

"Do you know how many ignorant bastards like you I chopped up in the past?" The foolish smile on her face fell and her eyes became crimson. The man whose finger was pointing at her was seen flying in the sky with blood spraying all over the air. The sight was like a ant wishing to explore the world by jumping off a cliff but was limited by the fact that it had no wings.

The man didn't even see when his finger was separated from his body. "Why you....!" He wanted to counter attack by taking out his weapon, but when he looked down he saw both his hands gone. Blood gaggling out like two mesmerizing waterfalls.

He scream in horror. When he looked into Yu Yaojing eyes again he saw that they became black. Staring into those eyes he felt as if he was looking into the abyss, that he was looking at the god of death, the devil himself.

He soon stopped screaming and fell to the ground. When his comrades finally turn around to look at him he was already dead.

"What did you do to him..." The masked girl got up slowly and signalled her men to not make a move.

But Yu Yaojing didn't answer. Instead she questioned. "Do you think someone defeated by our ancestor is qualified to speak to me?"

"..."

Seeing her go all quiet Yu Yaojing continued, "I believe it's time for you to leave."

The masked girl who remained quiet raised her head and sighed. "I would love to leave after humiliating myself in front of Queen Yaojing, but unfortunately I cannot."

"I am under the orders of the Principal to test all the participants for the upcoming tournament." She said as a rustled-old note with a signature in black appear in her hands.

Yu Yaojing narrow her eyes a little and surely enough she saw the principal name written on it.

Her calm composure became rigged as her eyes switch to look at Yu Yan and the others.

The masked girl seeing her look got back her confidence and said, "Is the current yinyue race so weak? Don't worry, I'll go easy on them."

"Who do you think you are!" Yu Yan and her other two sisters stepped up and shouted.

"Yeah who you calling weak? The only weak person here is you."

"A person who lost to the ancestor dare call us weak?"

The three sisters sneered while folding their arms around their chest. Their nose upright as they look down on the masked girl arrogantly.

Her men that saw this became furious. Disrespectful! Was what they thought. However, they didn't dare say it out loud.

It's not because these men are afraid of death, but that they didn't want to humiliate their princess by dying from a single strike from Yu Yaojing.

The masked girl chuckled when the triplets step forward. "So they are the ones you invest your time in to participate in the WBR Competition?"

"I must say. Their rather pathetic." She said while casting a disdainful gaze towards them as if looking at trash.

The triplets became furious when they heard this. They took out their Weapons Marks as if ready for battle. Their cold eyes locked onto the masked girl, waiting for Yu Yaojing to give them the order to fight.

Yu Yaojing looked at all this with a complicated expression. At this moment all her confidence and pride fade away as she became very docile and worried.

Yu Huan seeing this sighed. She stare at the masked girl and felt like she was a formidable opponent.

"You may proceed." She issued as she took out a tattered note book filled with names that were crossed in red. She then wrote "masked girl" on that old book that carries the names of many.

"Wait." When Yu Huan told the triplets to proceed their entire body was already filled with battle intent. The crowd cheered them on and bellowed cursed at the Central Domain people.

They were about to pounce on the masked girl when they suddenly heard Yu Yaojing voice.

Her voice was neither soft or loud. However it managed to enter everyone ears.

Everyone in the vicinity turn their eyes towards Yu Yaojing with questioning looks. Yu Yaojing seeing them smiled. "Don't you all know that any battles that occur in our tribe is suppose to happen on the Imperial Stage?"

The Imperial Stage is nothing worth mentioning. However, the impact it has in the past has resulted in many races placing it into their culture.

Any fights on the magnitude of experts must be done on the Imperial Stage.

The crowd nodded their heads. How could they forget something so important? They quickly disperse, moving towards the Imperial Stage.

The triplets whose battle intent began to dissipate looked at Yu Yaojing with a look of disapproval.

"Let's go!" Yu Yan and the other two ignored Yu Yaojing afterwards as they ran towards the Imperial Stage.

This was the first time they have ever gave Yu Yaojing such a look. When she saw them her heart felt like it was being crushed to bits. The girls she viewed as her daughters began seeing her in a bad light.

But what could she do? She was worried that after this battle against the masked girl their pride will forever be lost and their confidence will crumble.

Without these two aspects a yinyue will never be able to prosper. Unlike the dragon race who will only feel humiliated to be defeated by those they call 'lesser beings' or the elf race that get inspired to become stronger after being defeated, the yinyue race takes defeat as if their entire life accomplishments were ruined.

A yinyue will never be able to become stronger after being defeated. A common principle of the yinyue race.

Before Yu Yaojing rise the other races took advantage of this principle in fear that the yinyue race will once more rise to the top.

Each year they would send experts to fight against the young talented yinyue's. Causing these once prideful yinyue's to now become housewives that takes care of their children.

Yes, the yinyue's do marry women.

While Yu Yaojing was thinking of this, the masked girl brushed past her and whispered, "After today the yinyue race is finish. Their reputation will be lost and all their so call pride and confidence will lead them to despair."

"I'm not afraid to tell you this since I'm confident you will still go through with it. If the yinyue race manages to get to the top 4 in the WBR Competition then their first competitor is the dragon race."

The masked girl looked at Yu Yaojing only to see her start trembling. She smiled behind her mask and continued, "If their pride and confidence is still intact then they would manage to come out alive. However.... if they don't. Well, you already know."

She laughed and walked away with her men with the crowd. Her laughter sounding very evil in Yu Yaojing ears.

Yu Yaojing clench her teeth. If it wasn't for the fact that Yu Sheng was still in her arms she wouldn't mind clenching her fist. Yu Huan sighed once more and hurried her to go to the Imperial Stage before the battle begins.

After hearing that Yu Yaojing simply disappear from her sight.

Yu Huan couldn't understand how Yu Yaojing felt, but seeing her act this way made her extremely angry.

The Central Domain people have gone too far. There were definitely spies in the yinyue race. That was the only reason she could think of how they managed to grasp Yu Yaojing true emotions.

Yu Huan survey her surroundings to see that no one was still around. Afterwards she took out a seemly ordinary phone and her eyes became extremely frosty.

When the call went through her voice was hardly recognizable. "The Central Domain people has started their preparations. Operation : Death begins now."

She immediately cut the call after saying that. She stared into the sky with an unreadable expression.

After a while she chuckled. "Only the wise would know to never mess with the devil."

Yu Yaojing arrived at the Imperial Stage shortly after. When she arrived she already saw Yu Yan and the others on the stage.

Yu Yan held a long sword, its blade slender in comparison with normal long swords. Yu An held a bow while Yu Ai was under the covers of a shield. Their Weapon Marks glowing white similar to the color of their weapons.

Yu Sheng looked at the battle with interest. Although he was quite faraway from the stage he could see everything clearly. Perhaps an ability of the yinyue race? He didn't know nor did he care at the moment.

"I can finally see the combat power of the yinyue race." He thought as his eyes scan the triplets every movement. Their posture, gaze and even the way they held their representative weapons didn't escape his eyes.

What he saw disappointed him. Their posture looked carefree, filled with many weak spots, their gaze was only locked onto the masked girl face and most displeasing of all was the way they were holding their weapons.

"Why do they look so unprofessional?" In Yu Sheng previous life when it comes to music and business his skills were consider godlike.

However, what many didn't know was that he also developed many more skills. His hacking skills were one of them. Allowing him to spot the Mei Family misgivings

He also developed his fighting skills or what was known back on earth as martial arts. These skills allowed him to easily take down the thugs that were planning to harm Qing Yin.

As for the person who taught him to fight, it was the same Divine Doctor that helped Yin Qing'er stay alive for so long.

So when Yu Sheng saw the triplets filled with loopholes and weak spots he was filled with doubt. Could it be that the masked girl angered them so much that the only thought in their minds was to utterly destroy her in a flash? Or was it because their battle intent have already vanished? Whichever it was, Yu Sheng was now worried for them.

When he looked at the masked girl he was surprise to see that although she was standing still with her hands behind her back there were absolutely no loopholes in her posture! She had two of her fingers on each hand standing up while the others were clenched together.

This technique was taught to him by the Divine Doctor. He liked to call it the Two Finger Strike. By clenching the other three fingers the two fingers standing up will strengthen. Such a technique is usually efficient on the neck, eyes or the outer chest area where your heart is located. Anywhere else would be considered as a mere poke.

However, what would happen if such a technique was used by someone like the masked girl? With it she could probably decapitate hundreds with ease.

While Yu Sheng tried to find any weak points he also spotted that her gaze was moving all over the place. Mainly looking at Yu Yaojing. Probably fearing that she would make a move to eliminate her.

After 5 minutes of observation Yu Sheng saw Yu An stretch the strings of her bow. Suddenly, an arrow came out of nowhere, nocked on the bow.
