Dragon Hidden in the Sky

The demon child quickly replied, "It's alright. Brother Dao's seclusion is a serious matter, and we can certainly wait."

The old man before them was one of the strongest people in the entire Thousand Mountains Domain, named Saint Xuan Yang. He was a late-stage Saint, close to the peak of the Saint realm.

"The three of you must have come here for a reason. I wonder if you have discovered some treasure land in the Thousand Mountains Domain and wish to accompany me to search for it?" Saint Xuan Yang asked.

The Demon Child took a deep breath and said, "That's not the case. Recently, a sect called Lingtian Pavilion has appeared on Mount Yinyue, which is located on the outskirts of the Thousand Mountains Domain. They have established their sect on Mount Yinyue and built a city called Lingtian City at the foot of Mount Yinyue!"

“Oh?” said the Sage Xuan Yang. “This is a good thing for the Thousand Mountains Domain. We have all thought about creating a city here, but we are all burdened with karma. If we really create a sect and a city, we will be unable to leave, and our enemies will probably come looking for us.”

“That is indeed a good thing!” Demon Child said, “But Brother Dao, there is a city in front of this Thousand Mountains Domain. I think you and I both know what that means. Why don’t we take its place?”

"To take their place?" Sage Xuan Yang narrowed his eyes slightly and said, "If our enemies find out about our living conditions here, they won't let us off the hook!"

"No!" the Demon Child said, "We'll just take their place, appoint a puppet as the sect leader, and distribute resources periodically!"

"Moreover!" the demon child said, "Brother Dao, we have already fought with them once. This Lingtian Pavilion has demon cultivators with high bloodlines who can control powerful beasts. The Lingtian Pavilion has a Saint, two Saint-level beasts, and nine Venerable experts! One of the women was even able to hold off the Saint while at the peak of the Venerable level!"

“These people have mysterious origins, and they must possess great treasures, perhaps even divine artifacts!” the Demon Child said.

The Sage of Xuan Yang narrowed his eyes slightly and asked, "How do you know?"

"Those saints surrounded and killed Qin Ze. Apart from divine artifacts, which can disrupt the balance, there can be no other reason!" the Demon Child said. "If you join us in the attack, the divine artifact will be yours, and you can also take 50% of the future profits of Lingtian Pavilion! We'll split the rest, how about that?"

"A divine artifact?" Sage Xuan Yang said with a smile, "It's worth taking the risk!"

"Shall we go now?" the demon child asked, his face beaming with joy.

Sage Xuan Yang said, "Tell me about your previous battle."

The demon child nodded, then briefly explained the situation. After listening, the Xuan Yang Saint frowned and said, "A mid-stage Saint-level beast, and you five surrounded it, yet two of you were killed? Does this demon beast dog have the ability to kill Saints of the same level?"

"This matter cannot be taken lightly!" said the Sage Xuan Yang. "How about this, I will go and inform the Demon Lord. If he is interested, this matter will be a sure thing!"

"Demon Lord..." The demon child's pupils suddenly contracted, and a hint of fear appeared in his eyes as he said, "Brother Dao, it's not good to involve the Demon Lord in this matter!"

"I know you're afraid of him, but with me here, he won't do anything to you!" said the Sage of Xuan Yang. "Actually, some things don't need to be fought. It might be better for us if these people are alive. When the Demon Lord arrives, we'll take him and have a proper talk with them!"

……

Ye Qing was naturally unaware that the Demon Child's second plan for Lingtian Pavilion had already begun.

After leaving the Thousand Mountains Domain, he did not fly, but traveled along the road. When he encountered a village, he would scan it with his mental power. After his mental power enveloped the village, he could see many things inside. If there were any children that he thought had good talent, he planned to take them in.

Of course, we'll just have a brief chat with them there, and then bring them back to Lingtian Pavilion when we return!

And so Ye Qing continued on his journey, passing through dozens of villages, but he did not encounter anyone who wanted to take him as a disciple!

As Ye Qing continued forward, he noticed that the number of people traveling in the same direction was gradually increasing. He guessed that they were all heading to Thousand Star City.

Ye Qing came out not only to continue to understand this world, but also to reflect on himself. Of course, he also wanted to see if he could find some opportunities to break through to the Saint realm.

He didn't travel too fast, and he took things as they came. When he felt a little tired, he would lie down and sleep wherever he was.

"what!"

On this day, Ye Qing passed through an ordinary town!

The town wasn't very big, with a population of about 20,000. After Ye Qing's gaze swept across the area, he sensed something was amiss. He felt that there seemed to be a strange energy fluctuation within the town.

Ye Qing suppressed his mental energy and then walked into the town.

The town was bustling. It was a town for ordinary people, and in this world, cultivators and ordinary people were practically two different worlds. Cultivators looked down on ordinary people and rarely entered ordinary towns, except when they were beckoning disciples. They generally wouldn't set foot there!

Even if they were passing by a town inhabited by ordinary people, they would not enter it.

People like Ye Qing are actually quite rare.

Following the strange energy fluctuations, Ye Qing arrived at the outside of a blacksmith shop.

He sensed that the strange energy fluctuation was coming from the blacksmith shop.

Across from the blacksmith's shop was a noodle shop. After Ye Qing sat down, a waiter quickly came up and said, "Would you like something, sir?"

Ye Qing glanced at the menu and ordered a bowl of noodles and a pot of wine, which would also allow him to try the food of this world.

After making the order, Ye Qing saw a strong, muscular man who looked to be about sixteen or seventeen years old walk out of the house, shirtless. He then picked up a hammer and began hammering a red-hot iron block, which deformed under his physical strength.

Ye Qing was slightly surprised. This person was an ordinary mortal and there was no fluctuation of true energy on his body, but it was clear that his power was extremely great.

Just then, a series of footsteps approached. Ye Qing looked over and saw dozens of people surrounding the blacksmith shop.
