Dragon Hidden in the Sky

Ye Qing frowned and said, "Are we only setting up ambushes in these two places?"

“Of course not. However, the other places are all natural treacherous terrains. We, the Hidden Sect, can handle these tasks. You are not very familiar with the Hidden Sect, and you might fall if you are not careful.” Xuan Kong smiled slightly and said, “But please rest assured, benefactor. We will not fight to the death in these places. They will only serve to harass and reduce the enemy’s numbers.”

"But the final battle will most likely take place inside the temple!" Master Xuankong said. "Therefore, all of you, you must conserve your strength and wait for the enemy to arrive!"

Hearing this, Ye Qing pondered for a moment and said, "By the way, Master Xuan Kong, how many monks are there in the temple?"

"There are over 360 monks, but... about 120 of them practice martial arts," Master Xuankong said. "Those who haven't practiced martial arts have already retreated to the back mountain!"

Ye Qing's brows twitched slightly.

One hundred and twenty. Among them, the martial arts skills are bound to be quite mixed, and there is a gap in overall strength. Moreover, the opponent also has an exoskeleton device. This battle will probably be very difficult!

But what's done is done, and it's too late to change anything now, so all we can do is fight it out and hope that more people will die before the enemy reaches the temple!

"Does anyone have a suitable weapon?" the suspended monk asked again.

The others nodded. Most of them carried weapons, but Ye Qing came down the mountain without taking anything with him.

"Are there weapons inside the temple?" Ye Qing asked.

"We have everything!" Master Suspended said. "May I ask, Benefactor Ye Qing, what kind of weapon do you specialize in?"

“My junior brother is skilled with a knife!” Qin Wanwan said from the side.

"Please follow me, benefactor!" Master Xuankong smiled slightly, then led Ye Qing towards another courtyard of the temple. This courtyard seemed to be a dumping ground for miscellaneous items, and the rooms inside contained a number of weapons!

"Please wait a moment, benefactor!" Master Xuankong smiled slightly.

"Why are there so many weapons in this temple?" Ye Qing asked with slight surprise.

“Our Hidden Sect has existed for over a thousand years. Over the years, although we have not entered the world, we have still experienced some things. It is normal to accumulate some weapons over the years. As for swords, I do remember that there is a fairly good sword in the Hidden Sect, but it is too chaotic here. This humble monk needs to search for a while!” Master Xuankong said.

"it is good!"

Ye Qing took a deep breath!

The levitation master searched for a long time and finally found a knife covered in dust.

“This is it!” Master Suspended smiled slightly, blew the dust off the knife and said, “I’m sorry, benefactor, these weapons have been gathering dust here for many years, and they are covered with dust. But for now, we have no choice but to make do with them.”

As he spoke, he tossed the knife directly to Ye Qing!

Ye Qing gripped the long sword tightly, and in the next instant, his expression shifted slightly.

He discovered that the knife was actually quite heavy.

His inner energy trembled, and all the dust on the scabbard fell off, revealing an exceptionally ancient scabbard.

Ye Qing held the knife in his hand and felt that it weighed at least forty or fifty pounds. An ordinary person would not be able to wield it properly, and it felt extremely cold to the touch.

He thought of something, then gripped the knife in his right hand and drew the long sword in an instant!

"Zheng!"

A sharp clang of a blade rang out.

The swordsman was as white as snow, radiating a chilling light.

"This is..." Ye Qing's pupils suddenly contracted. "The blade is as white as snow, extremely heavy, and exudes a cold light. Could it be... the legendary divine sword 'First Snow,' ranked third on the weapon ranking list?"

“You have a good eye, benefactor!” Master Xuankong said, “After the battle of Canghai, this sword somehow ended up here as some kind of relic, and your father sent it here. Now that I think about it, perhaps it was left to you by your father!”

“At that time, I wasn’t pregnant yet!” Ye Qing said.

"In short, you can take it and use it. If you find it useful, you can take it with you!" Master Suspended said, "It won't be of any use to me in my Hidden Sect!"

Ye Qing was overjoyed!

A good weapon can provide a significant boost to a martial arts practitioner.

He held the First Snow sword in his hand, then drew the blade. In an instant, the sound of the blade whistling rang out. Ye Qing twirled the sword, and said with some fondness, "What a fine sword!"

“Let’s go!” Master Suspended said. “I wonder where those people have gone.”

……

Time passed, and at this moment, at the top of Eagle Fall Valley, Li Yang was hiding in a tree, looking down through the gaps in the leaves!

"call out!"

"call out!"

"call out!"

Two or three figures moved forward through the mountains and forests. On the mountaintops on both sides of Eagle Fall Valley, all the monks concealed themselves among the trees. At these tops, there were many boulders, and these boulders were also covered with vegetation, making them impossible for ordinary people to see.

The monks all looked at Li Yang, who was their leader.

Two or three figures used exoskeletons to move through the mountains and forests. After moving for a while, they used the flexibility of the exoskeletons to quickly turn back!

Behind them, more than two hundred people were walking through the mountains and forests.

Before long, the three returned to the front of the main group. One of them knelt down and said, "We haven't found a temple yet, but we've come across a small path ahead. This path is in a canyon, and it seems to be frequently used, but..."

"It seems we're on the right track!" Tang Ze said. "But what?"

"But this path is flanked by high peaks, and if someone is lying in ambush, it will be difficult to pass!" the man said.

“No one knew we were coming here; there’s absolutely no signal here!” Ge Yan said. “They couldn’t possibly have known in advance either. I reckon that even if this place is suitable for an ambush, they wouldn’t have set up any ambushes!”

"That's exactly what we've been aiming for. You continue exploring the canyon, and we'll move on. Once you find the temple, remember to hide yourself well and thoroughly investigate the entire area around it!" Ge Yan said. "Today, I will wipe this thousand-year-old hidden sect off the face of the earth!"

"Okay!" The men nodded, and then two lines shot out from their legs, piercing the tree trunks not far away, and then they were thrown into the air!

"Let's go!" Ge Yan sneered. "Since there are signs of human activity around, we're probably very close to the hidden sect. Everyone, remember to be careful. If you spot any monks, kill them immediately and don't let them go back to report!"

"it is good!"

Everyone nodded!

The group moved quickly forward, and soon they gradually approached the vicinity of the canyon.

Standing atop the tree trunk, Li Yang squinted as he looked down into the canyon below.

After everyone had entered the canyon, he licked his lips and gestured towards a monk next to him.

The monk nodded, opened his mouth, and made a sound similar to a bird's call.

Accompanied by birdsong, the hidden monks quickly arrived in front of the stones.

Li Yang also fell down!

At this moment, the monk let out another shriek!

Li Yang suddenly exerted his strength!

A huge, round stone was suddenly pushed and moved.

"boom!"

The stone rolled down the slope.

Below, Ge Yan and the others were moving forward when suddenly they heard a noise.

"Not good!" Ge Yan's expression suddenly changed, and he looked up and said, "There's an ambush!"

Everyone's expression changed, and their longswords were instantly drawn!

On both sides, huge rocks kept rolling down from the top, which was terrifying to watch.

"Climb the tree! Climb the tree!" Tang Ze roared.

At the same time, countless exoskeleton devices activated, and everyone rushed up to the tree trunks on both sides!

"what!"

At the same time, as the stones rolled down, some people who were unable to react in time, or who were hiding on small tree trunks, were directly crushed by the stones!
