Dragon Hidden in the Sky

The group didn't linger. They quickly walked over, and when they saw the situation of the three people in front of them, everyone's expression changed.

These three people were almost unconscious from the torture. Blood was flowing from their fingers, and pieces of flesh were torn from their bodies, as if their skin had been cut off. There was a lot of blood on the ground.

“This…” The people in the inescapable net all frowned slightly!

“They were acting like beasts, so we couldn’t stand it and tortured them for you!” Li Yang said. “Now they’re very obedient. Take them back, and they’ll answer any questions we have!”

The man's eyelids twitched, and then he said, "Anyway, thank you all!"

He waved his hand, and three people stepped forward, carrying the three who were tortured to the point of near unconsciousness on their shoulders. Then, silver lines shot out from their exoskeletons and pierced into the tree trunks in the distance.

The person in charge turned to Li Yang and said, "Thank you!"

After they finished speaking, the exoskeleton device lifted them up. Everyone was very skilled at using the exoskeleton device, and in a few flashes, they disappeared into the depths of the forest.

"There are actually things like this in this world!" Lin Qianyu said curiously.

"This thing is actually unique to the Heavenly Net, and it's now in its fourth generation. Without it, we simply can't fight on the extraterritorial battlefield!" Li Yang said. "This thing greatly enhances the abilities of us martial artists, but it's prohibited from use in cities and hasn't been widely adopted by civilians. Mainly because the materials are limited!"

At this point, he looked at Lin Qianyu and said, "But if you're interested, sister-in-law, I'll get you a set later. Just send me your measurements, and I..."

Seeing Ye Qing's somewhat cold expression, Li Yang chuckled and said, "Just kidding, just kidding!"

"Let's get out of here as soon as possible!" Qin Wanwan said. "Hopefully, these people haven't discovered our identities. These days, I don't trust anyone from the Heavenly Net much!"

"My appearance is a top secret within the Heavenly Net!" Li Yang said.

"Top Secret?" Ye Qing said speechlessly, "Your reputation within the Heavenly Net is ruined!"

"It may be rotten, but none of them have ever seen what I look like. To be honest, if those women saw what I looked like, they'd probably be eager to climb into my bed!" Li Yang said smugly.

"Get lost!" The group simultaneously gave him a look of disdain.

This guy looks so sleazy.

They packed their things and set off again.

……

On the other side, in the woods, several people were moving quickly forward.

"Damn, boss, why would the Dark Division come to such a remote place as Mount Song to carry out a mission?" one of them asked.

"The Dark Guard?" the leader said. "Those people might be from the Dark Guard, but that doesn't necessarily mean they are!"

"What do you mean?" someone asked.

"These three are top-tier experts, and they took them down easily!" the leader said. "This means that this group is quite strong, and those women all have great figures. Have you ever seen any other squad in the Dark Guard with so many women with such good figures?"

"And didn't you guys notice? These three people have all been tortured. There was a woman here with them just now, and there's a box on the ground!" The leader analyzed, "The methods of torture are definitely not something ordinary people would use. If I'm not mistaken, they came here most likely to find the Hidden Sect, since the Hidden Sect is located in this Songshan Mountain!"

"I see! So, boss, what kind of people do you think they are?" someone asked.

"Don't ask anymore, it's most likely a high-ranking figure from the Heavenly Net!" the leader said. "Let's go back and get things done properly!"

None of them noticed that, during their conversation, a member of the Tianluodiwang (a type of organized crime group) carrying a person narrowed his eyes slightly!

……

On the other side, Ye Qing and his group walked for nearly three more hours before finally seeing a terraced field in front of them.

It was summer, and the golden rice ears in the terraced fields were growing quite well!

In the distance, there was indeed a village, but there weren't many houses.

"We've finally arrived!" Qi Yun breathed a sigh of relief.

He was exhausted and hungry; his legs felt like they were about to break.

After Ye Qing and his group had walked for a while, Li Yang suddenly whistled and said, "Hey, there's a beautiful girl here!"

Ye Qing's expression shifted slightly. He turned his head and looked in one direction. Sure enough, on the ridge of the field next to him, under a tree, there was a mat with a blanket spread out on it. A woman with a graceful figure was sitting diagonally on the blanket.

She had a headscarf tied around her neck and was fanning herself with a palm-leaf fan.

She was wearing a floral dress and a skirt, revealing her two snow-white calves.

She seemed to have heard Li Yang's words. She turned her head and was slightly stunned when she saw Ye Qing and the others. Then she winked at them and gave them a charming smile.

"Damn it!" Li Yang leaned against Ye Qing and said, "Brother, I can't take it anymore, I can't take it anymore!"

"No, you can handle it!" Ye Qing quickly said.

He heard a rustling sound coming from the rice paddy next to him. After a short while, a figure walked out of the rice paddy!

He was shirtless, revealing his muscular physique, and held a sickle in his hand. He was covered in sweat, seemingly harvesting rice.

He gave off the impression of a simple, honest farmer, but at this moment, he seemed to have heard Li Yang's words. He looked at the woman next to him, but she completely ignored him and just stared straight at Ye Qing and the others, her eyes seeming to want to devour Li Yang and Ye Qing!

"Just kidding!" Ye Qing said, "Brother, we were just passing by. My senior brother is a bit of a loose tongue, so I apologize to you!"

"Why should I apologize to him!" The woman under the tree smiled charmingly and said, "Handsome, want to come to my house?"

The farmer's face turned pale when he heard this, but what Ye Qing found strange was that he didn't refute it!

“No need for that!” Ye Qing said. “By the way, could you please ask if there are any monks in the village?”

"Looking for a monk?" the woman said with a look of disdain. "Just walk along the stone path you're on, and you'll see the monk. Sigh, you really have no sense of romance!"

After thanking them, Ye Qing and his companions continued along the stone path. The farmer watched them leave before turning to the woman, a hint of helplessness in his eyes, and said, "You...don't like me that much?"

"Hmph!" The woman snorted coldly, turned her head, looked into the distance, and continued fanning herself.

The farmer gave a bitter laugh, then turned around and disappeared into the rice paddy.

"Damn it!" Li Yang exclaimed, "There are actually such beautiful women in this village. Aren't they supposed to be all elderly people living alone?"

"And it seems like the locals here are very open-minded!" Li Yang said excitedly. "Could there be other single, pretty girls here? Ye Qing, why don't we stay here for the night?"

"Shut up!" Ye Qing looked at him speechlessly.

Before long, they arrived at the village entrance!

At the entrance of the village, there was a monk standing there with his hands clasped together in prayer.

Beside a well near the village entrance, there is a large tree, and several stools are placed under the tree.

Under the bench, several elderly people were chatting!

However, their positions were also strange when they were chatting. Almost all the old people were looking at the way Ye Qing and his group had come from, and many of them even had expectant looks in their eyes.

However, when they discovered that the visitors were Ye Qing and his group, their anticipation faded, replaced by disappointment!

They seemed to be waiting for their children to come back and see them.

And so they stayed here, counting the days, passing by one by one.

"Amitabha!" As Ye Qing and his companions approached, the monk bowed and asked, "May I ask if you are Ye Qing, the benefactor?"
