Dragon Hidden in the Sky

Chapter 73: A Gathering of Heroes

“My conditions are simple. I’m a professional killer with countless lives on my hands. If I die, I die!” Yama said. “But I want my family to be safe. If I expose this, my family will surely be killed.”

Ye Qing's expression shifted, and he said, "So?"

"I hope Mangshan can step in and protect my family!" said Yama.

Ye Qing narrowed his eyes slightly and said, "To the top of Mount Mang?"

“Yes!” Yama said, “I have two pieces of information that are very important to you. I can tell you the first piece of information. After you bring my family to Mangshan and video call me, I will tell you the second piece of information after I confirm it.”

Ye Qing pondered for a moment, then nodded and asked, "Are your family members involved in the underworld?"

"No, they are all ordinary people. I became an assassin just to help them live a better life. I started practicing martial arts by accident and had some talent. I came into contact with assassins by accident and that's how I ended up on this path," Yama said.

“If it were an ordinary person, I could agree to your request!” Ye Qing said, “Tell me, what is the first piece of news?”

This King Yama was a big, burly man, but he was still quite intelligent.

He has a sharp tongue and a resolute character.

What he said before was actually irrelevant; what mattered most to him were the two pieces of news he mentioned.

"First piece of news!" Yama said to Ye Qing and Su Qing, "This time, the assassin mission I received, besides killing Lin Qianyu, also includes cooperating with Killer Star's people to eliminate the headquarters of Jiangcheng Tianluodiwang."

"Hmm?" Ye Qing and Su Qing's pupils contracted slightly at the same time. "This killer star is so bold?"

Su Qing took a deep breath and said, "During this period, Killer Star has been quite active all over the world!"

"I don't know the specific reason," Yama said, "but they did offer me a considerable sum to do this. You have an inside man among the Killers here!"

"I see!" Ye Qing nodded and said, "Your second piece of information, if I'm not mistaken, is about the person who asked you to kill Lin Qianyu!"

“Of course not, I said I won’t…” Yama said.

Ye Qing scoffed, "Stop pretending. If you didn't know, there would be no need for you to commit suicide!"

"Someone who could make even the fifth-ranked assassin on your underground leaderboard afraid to reveal their identity, and even commit suicide!" Ye Qing said, "If I'm not mistaken, this person is... a killer star? Or perhaps a powerful, hidden family behind the Heavenly Net?"

The King of Hell's expression shifted between light and dark.

"Fine, I won't press you. I'll know the result tomorrow!" Ye Qing said.

"Then what you promised me!" Yama said.

“Dude, you may be an assassin, and you deserve to die! But you still have some guts. I admire you for enduring my sixth senior sister's torture without saying a word. I will make sure your family is safe, but the money you got from killing people will still be yours!” Ye Qing said.

"Okay, thank you!" Yama took a deep breath.

Ye Qing shook his head, then looked at Su Qing!

Su Qing nodded, and the two followed her out of the cell. Once outside, Su Qing frowned and said, "This matter is more troublesome than I imagined!"

"For you, the most important thing right now is to find the mole!" Ye Qing said.

"I've been trying to find out, but I haven't made a single clue yet," Su Qing said with a wry smile. "But you, do you think we'll know who's trying to assassinate Lin Qianyu by tomorrow?"

Ye Qing nodded and said, "I ran into an old classmate..."

He briefly explained Yang Xiaoxiao's situation. After listening, Su Qing asked, "Your high school classmate, and someone from Dawn?"

"I don't know the specifics either!" Ye Qing said speechlessly, "It was only after she gave me this box today that I guessed what happened."

Su Qing nodded and said, "This little Jiangcheng is getting lively."

"Two of the Nine Sons of Mangshan have arrived! The second and fifth on the underground assassin list are here in person, as are the people from Killing Star, and now Dawn has also joined in." A cold smile appeared in Su Qing's eyes as she said, "Our Jiangcheng's Heavenly Net is really a soft persimmon, letting them squeeze it like this!"

Looking at Su Qing's fiery figure, Ye Qing smiled slightly and said, "Don't worry, my sixth senior sister and I are here. We won't let any of this happen. This 'Ten Thousand Trees Flying Flowers' seems to have a 100% success rate for assassination. I'm actually looking forward to having a go at it!"

“This person should not be underestimated. He is the most outstanding young person in the Tang Clan.” Su Qing said, “In fact, in terms of hidden weapon skills alone, he is already the number one in the Tang Clan. He has mastered the Tang Clan’s ultimate skill, Ten Thousand Trees Flying Flowers, which is also the origin of his nickname.”

Ye Qing nodded and said, "I understand. How is Old Pi?"

"There's no problem now!" Su Qing said. "He's survived, but he'll probably need to recover for a while. I talked to him about joining the Heavenly Net, but he doesn't seem too willing to come!"

"I'll talk to him another day!" Ye Qing said. "I have things to do tonight, so I'll be leaving now!"

"Okay!" Su Qing nodded and said, "After you question Yang Xiaoxiao tomorrow, remember to tell me what happened!"

"Okay!" Ye Qing nodded.

Leaving the villa complex, Ye Qing finally breathed a slight sigh of relief. The trip had been quite fruitful. He would meet Yang Xiaoxiao tomorrow, and he estimated that all his thoughts would be clear. Next, he would have to deal with these matters.

He took out his phone, found Lin Qianyu's WeChat, and sent a message saying, "I'm done with work. Where should we eat? I'll come find you!"

Lin Qianyu quickly replied to his message: "Send me your address, I'll come pick you up!"

Ye Qing quickly sent a message.

After waiting for about ten minutes, Lin Qianyu stopped her car in front of Ye Qing.

Ye Qing got into the driveway: "Let's go! What should we eat?"

However, Lin Qianyu's eyes remained fixed ahead, filled with curiosity. She glanced out the window every now and then, then looked at Ye Qing and asked, "Why...why are you here?"
