Dragon Hidden in the Sky

"boom!"

"boom!"

"boom!"

One after another, the pebbles rolled down the slope.

Screams echoed continuously from the canyon below. Many people were crushed under the boulders and died instantly. Many others survived, but they too let out screams.

"Kill them!" Ge Yan roared in fury!

"kill!"

Someone roared, and beneath the exoskeleton, figure after figure continued to ascend the slope.

Li Yang pushed more than a dozen rocks in succession. Seeing that some people had reached the halfway point of the mountain, he roared and said, "Retreat!"

The monk quickly blew his whistle, and all the monks stopped and began to probe from the other side of the mountain on both sides!

“Benefactor Li Yang, please follow me!” a monk said.

Li Yang nodded and quickly followed behind these people.

These monks were very familiar with their surroundings, even knowing exactly where they could find shelter, so they were able to escape quite quickly.

Using his Shadow Step, Li Yang quickly followed behind them. Before long, they bypassed the canyon and arrived at the back of Eagle Fall Valley. Once there, Li Yang whistled again.

A short while later, Qin Wanwan jumped down from a tree trunk. Wearing a mask, she asked, "How did it go?"

"That was awesome!" Li Yang said. "We've all retreated now. How's the setup going on your side?"

"There are three people over there who have been poisoned and knocked unconscious!" Qin Wanwan said. "Carry them back. Once they're awake, we should be able to get some accurate information from them."

"Okay!" Li Yang nodded and said, "By the way, what kind of poison did you use?"

"Drunken Spring Breeze!" Qin Wanwan said, "I've set everything up here; it should last for about an hour."

"Damn, you're going all out? I remember this thing is pretty expensive to make," Li Yang said.

"If we don't go all out, we might lose our lives!" Qin Wanwan said. "Let's go!"

……

Several people carried the poisoned men back to the Hidden Gate. The Hidden Gate was built halfway up the mountain, and along the way, they discovered several ambushes on key roads!

"Damn, I wonder if even half of them will still be alive when they arrive at the Hidden Gate!" Li Yang said with a sneer. "And most of them will probably be half-dead from the torture. That's just too awesome!"

"Hopefully it will work!" Qin Wanwan said, "The Tang Clan members are following over there; maybe they'll recognize us!"

……

At this moment, in Eagle Fall Valley, when all the commotion had subsided, Ge Yan roared, "Come back, come back first!"

Those who had chased after them quickly returned to this side, and in the valley, some people were pulling out the wounded and injured members.

Ge Yan roared, "What are the losses!"

Tang Xin walked over and said, "According to a preliminary estimate, the casualties are over forty! Now, there are 173 people left who are still capable of fighting!"

Ge Yan's expression shifted between light and dark as he asked, "How exactly were we exposed?"

"Could it be that couple from Luoyan Village?" Tang Ze asked.

“It shouldn’t be!” Tang Xin said. “If they were here, the people of us would most likely not have much of a chance of winning.”

Ge Yan said, "Let's forget about the wounded for now and keep going!"

“I suggest we wait two days!” Tang Xin said.

Ge Yan looked at Tang Xin, his brow furrowing.

“You’ve seen the situation now; they’ve already set up defenses,” Tang Xin said. “Don’t forget, Qin Wanwan is most likely with them. Qin Wanwan is skilled in poisons, and I have sword intent. We need to retreat from Eagle Fall Valley. This place is far from the reach of the emperor; there’s no signal, and we can’t contact the outside world. They’re trapped here like turtles in a jar. We’re already exposed; if we continue forward, we have no idea what’s ahead!”

At this point, Tang Xin said, "I suggest we retreat first, wait a day or two, find the hidden sect, and at the same time figure out the situation around us before making further plans!"

Ge Yan gradually calmed down.

This time, they lost over forty men without seeing anything, which angered him. Hearing Tang Xin's analysis, he felt that Tang Xin made sense, and then nodded and said, "That's fine. Let them become trapped beasts. We'll find out the situation around us and then make a plan!"

At this point, he looked at Tang Ze and said, "It's time for you Tang Clan members to play a role. Go out first and check all the poisonous areas around here. We, the Killing Stars, will search for a temple!"

Tang Ze nodded and said, "Okay!"

He waved to someone not far away and said, "Tang Yan, take some men and go check it out! If there's any poison, identify it as soon as possible. Remember to wear gas masks!"

"Okay!" Tang Yan nodded, and then he also selected a few people.

"Everyone, get out of here!" Ge Yan said again. Then, everyone retreated into the canyon!

More than an hour later, Li Yang continued his journey across the valleys on both sides. He looked around from the mountaintop and saw that the other side had all retreated from Eagle Fall Valley. He frowned slightly and then quickly took another path towards the Hidden Gate!

……

In the main hall of the Hidden Sect, Ye Qing and the others were waiting when Li Yang ran back.

Lin Qianyu quickly tossed him a bottle of water, which Li Yang gulped down, saying, "Damn it, these people are pretty smart. They actually went back. On my way back, I saw the Tang Clan people searching everywhere. They probably guessed that Sixth Sister was here, so they were all wearing gas masks. The Killing Star people are also searching everywhere, probably looking for the Hidden Sect!"

“This is rather troublesome!” Master Suspended said, “These people are much smarter than I thought. After being ambushed once, I thought they would pass through the canyon as soon as possible and then get poisoned! As long as they are poisoned, I was thinking of taking the initiative to attack.”

"Now it seems they were quite calm and chose to retreat!" Master Suspended said.

Lin Qianyu pondered for a moment and said, "They know nothing about the Hidden Sect. They will definitely realize that if we continue, there will be some trouble. There is no signal in this place, and we can't get any support. If we want to get out, this Eagle Valley is the only way out!"

"So they withdrew first, treating us like fish in a barrel, waiting to investigate thoroughly before taking further action... that's normal," Lin Qianyu said.

After he finished speaking, he realized that everyone was looking at him.

Ye Qing was also slightly surprised. He didn't expect Lin Qianyu to analyze things so thoroughly at this moment!

"Did I... say too much?" Lin Qianyu blushed slightly as everyone stared at her.

"No!" Master Suspended said, "Your analysis makes a lot of sense!"

At this point, Master Xuankong said, "Then, benefactor, what do you think is the best course of action for us?"

Lin Qianyu was taken aback, then pondered for a moment and said, "I haven't experienced much of this, so I can only speak from my intuition. I feel that under these circumstances, we... should take the initiative! We should take advantage of their lack of understanding of the Hidden Sect's territory during this time to maximize our gains!"

"Ha!" Qin Wanwan said, "Sister-in-law, you're something else!"

He looked at the levitation master!

Master Xuan Kong smiled slightly and said, "Your idea coincides with mine! Jing Xin, send high-level experts to raid those who come out to investigate and check!"

At this point, Master Suspended looked at Ye Qing and said, "Everyone, how about we go around to the back of Eagle Fall Valley and have a showdown with them?"

"Now?" Ye Qing asked.

The levitation master looked at the sky and said, "Naturally... the effect is best after nightfall!"

"it is good!"

Ye Qing nodded and said, "Today, we'll launch a night raid on them!"

……

On the other side, Ge Yan and the others set up camp on the spot. Tang Xin was gently rubbing her head, her brows furrowed, her brain working at high speed!

"What's wrong?" Ge Yan asked, noticing Tang Xin's expression.

"I'm thinking, what if they... launch a sneak attack on us tonight!" Tang Xin said thoughtfully.
