Dragon Hidden in the Sky

In fact, the people of Mangshan had very little contact with these things. Given the huge commotion they had caused, Ye Qing thought there was no way to stop it.

Moreover, with so many people present, they started hurling insults at each other, and even threatened to fight!

The final vote turned out to be such a result that Ye Qing was completely overwhelmed.

Judging from the expressions of the two old men and Dugu Yu, it was clear that all of this seemed to be within their expectations!

People started to leave.

Ye Qing followed behind the two of them and retreated outside. Before long, the two of them arrived outside!

Zhuge Tianqing patted Ye Qing on the shoulder and said, "Kid, are you puzzled?"

Ye Qing nodded and said, "I am a little puzzled. Judging from your expressions, you guessed this outcome a long time ago, but why did you come here to go through all this formality, and make such a big fuss about it? And then end up ending up so confusedly!"

"In any matter, don't look at the process, look at the final result and its impact and benefits on both parties!" Zhuge Tianqing said.

Dugu Yu smiled and said, "Junior brother, this is actually a good thing. The more you stay at the World Headquarters, the more bizarre things will happen! Think about it yourself, in the future... when the Huaxi system is really handed over to you, you will also experience these things!"

Ye Qing and the others all frowned!

Considering the interests of both sides, what will each side gain this time?

As far as the Huaxi Tianluodiwang (a powerful network of influence) is concerned, the result they achieved was the eradication of the main family and many corrupt forces within it. Even if some of the remaining members were still corrupt, the fate of the main family was a heavy blow to them!

They dared not show their faces again. The future all-encompassing network of the Chinese faction will inevitably be led by Yi Shuihan and Mangshan, forming an unbreakable united front!

And what will Louis Vigus and Alfonso gain? The evidence hasn't been fully revealed, allowing the Vigus family to continue hiding? But will the power struggle between the two sides continue?

Just as Ye Qing was pondering, Dugu Yu walked over with a smile and said, "Let me help you sort out your thoughts!"

“First of all, the Zong family is one of the founders of the Heavenly Net, and their influence in the global Heavenly Net is enormous. With the Zong family members killed, this hearing is an inevitable procedure!” Dugu Yu said, “So we all have to come!”

“We also know that Louis Vigus is the man behind Brahma, and a battle between us and them is inevitable, whether they want to overthrow the rule of the Heavenly Net or we want to eliminate them in the future!” Dugu Yu said, “But this is not the right time to bring it up!”

"For us, if we truly withdraw from the Heavenly Net, and several other organizations follow suit, the order of this world, both above and below ground, will completely collapse," Dugu Yu said. "This is not what we want to see, and... we also know very well that we alone cannot truly protect this world!"

Dugu Yu said, "Yi Shuihan said that simply to reveal our bottom line."

"As for Louis Vigus, their goal is to prevent the Vigus family's involvement with Brahma from being exposed. At the same time, they want to seize more influence!" Dugu Yu said, "Yi Shuihan's words will make many people in the world wary of us!"

"Why are you wary?" Ye Qing asked.

"This is a joint headquarters!" Dugu Yu said. "Everyone works together here, united as one of the major forces. But if you keep doing this kind of thing, how can the others trust you?"

"This is a loss of our voice!" Dugu Yu said. "And the West doesn't dare to really disband the World Headquarters, at least not now, because once it's disbanded, the two sides will inevitably become adversaries! The Chinese faction's Heavenly Net and the factions that previously supported us still have a lot of influence. Brahma is still hiding underground and doesn't dare to surface... So once it explodes, they won't be able to bear the consequences, and they might even collapse internally!"

“This is true for each party as well, which is why the vote ended up in that state,” Dugu Yu said. “We lost some of our voice, but… we purged our internal system.”

"The West has gained some influence, which has allowed the Vigus family to continue to hide, and they will likely continue to create momentum in the underworld media!" Dugu Yu said. "This is all a tacit understanding between us! As for Brahma, we already know about him and will deal with him, but not now!"

"Boy!" Dugu Yu said, "Both old men have placed their hopes on us. If any of us surpasses the Super level, Yi Shuihan will not hesitate to take his sword and march on Vigus Island!"

"Vigus Island?" Ye Qing asked in confusion.

"There's a stunningly beautiful island over there in Europe! It's the forbidden territory of the Vigus family!" Dugu Yu said. "I've been there once before. Speaking of which, this year's Heavenly Net Grand Competition should also be held on Vigus Island. Perhaps you'll have a chance to go!"

"The Heavenly Net Competition?" Ye Qing asked, his brows furrowed. "What is this?"

"It's a competition organized by the various national networks!" Dugu Yu said. "Each country's network will send a team to showcase the martial arts talents within the network, which is also an expectation for the future. The best among them will receive resources from the entire world, and it's also a way to gain influence!"

“Yes!” Zhuge Tianqing said, “Kid, this time our influence and reputation at the World Headquarters have suffered some losses. You have to go and earn it back for us!”

"I haven't... decided yet..." Ye Qing mumbled.

"Stop being so pretentious!" Zhuge Tianqing cursed. "Now that the Zong family has left, the net of heaven and earth will be wide open. If you don't come, you're betraying your master and ancestors!"

Ye Qing: "..."

"Woo!"

Just then, a deep, resonant ship's horn suddenly rang out.

Upon hearing this, everyone stopped and stood still.

They looked toward the dock.

“That ship’s horn sounds like it’s from Penglai Island!” Zhuge Tianqing said.

"Penglai Island?" Ye Qing's pupils contracted slightly. "Which Penglai Island? The Penglai where the Hundred Knowledge Pavilion is located?"

"Yes!" Zhuge Tianqing nodded and said, "It seems that the latest Heavenly Ranking and Earthly Ranking are about to be released and have been sent to the Heavenly Net."

"Sent to the Heavenly Net?" Ye Qing asked疑惑地问道, "Why is that?"

"The Hundred Knowledge Pavilion on Penglai Island probably has an intelligence network that is even stronger than the entire Tianluodiwang's dark web," Zhuge Tianqing said. "They collect intelligence from all over the world, compile these Heavenly Ranking and Earthly Ranking, and send them to the Tianluodiwang headquarters. Then, the Tianluodiwang headquarters organizes them, removes some of the rankings, and then the Tianluodiwang announces the existence of these two lists to the underworld."

Upon hearing this, Ye Qing's pupils constricted slightly. "So, this is the original ranking list? All the super and top experts in the entire world will appear on this list?"

"Not entirely!" Yi Shuihan said, "Some people have a good relationship with Baixiaoge but don't want to be on the list, or some people are already living in seclusion and Baixiaoge doesn't even know about them, but most of them will appear on this list!"

Ye Qing's expression brightened with excitement as he said, "Let's go, let's go take a look!"

“You do need to go there, and…” Zhuge Tianqing said, “Aren’t you going to the Hundred Knowledge Pavilion to ask about your parents’ whereabouts?”

Ye Qing looked at Yi Shuihan, who remained silent.

Yi Shuihan once said that telling him about his parents' whereabouts now would be to harm him!

"Go and have a chat with the Pavilion Master of Baixiaoge; it would be good for you!" Yi Shuihan suddenly said at this moment.

Ye Qing gave Yi Shuihan a strange look!

Then the group quickly headed towards the port.

Not only them, but many people around them also rushed towards the port at this time!

Before long, the entire island where the Tianluodiwang headquarters was located was packed with people.

In the distance, a huge cruise ship was slowly sailing towards them from the sea.
