Dragon Hidden in the Sky

Chapter 1185 Encounter

Ye Qing walked forward. The woman seemed to notice him. She turned around, forcing a smile that looked more like a grimace on her pale face, and said, "How about it? It's dangerous outside, isn't it!"

Ye Qing gave a wry smile and said, "Senior, we mean no harm... Could you please let us leave?"

"I didn't do it!" The woman leaned closer to Ye Qing and said cautiously, "It was the Spirit Clan. They wanted to frighten you, to instill fear in you, to make you forever lost here, and then kill you and feed on your flesh and blood!"

Ye Qing clearly didn't believe his nonsense.

“However… if you’ve come here to find the Heart of the Dragon, I can save you. I can take you away from this place.” The woman said, “Little one, I won’t harm you. If I really wanted to kill you, you would be dead already. You… are too weak. In a place like this, you are nothing more than the purest ants!”

Ye Qing glanced at Long Rui; at this moment, he truly had no other options.

Long Rui completely handed over the decision-making power to Ye Qing.

Ye Qing pondered for a moment and said, "Alright then, I'll trouble you to lead the way, senior!"

The woman nodded and said, "Then follow me. Don't get lost, and don't leave the area covered by my lantern. If you leave this area, the Spirit Clan will kill you!"

She held up the red lantern, which emitted a scarlet aura that enveloped a certain area around her.

Ye Qing had no choice. Rather than being trapped here to die, he might as well go with this woman and see what she was up to.

The two were bathed in that red glow when the woman said, "Stay close to me, and don't get lost. This place is dangerous; you shouldn't have come into the city."

As she spoke, she walked forward, saying, "As long as these red lanterns are here, you don't need to be afraid, please don't be afraid!"

Ye Qing felt that her words were not directed at him and Long Rui, but rather as if she were talking to herself, comforting herself.

Ye Qing followed behind her, and the three of them walked forward. After walking for a while, Long Rui said softly, "It does seem different from before."

Ye Qing nodded. There hadn't been any dangers along the way. The only thing that bothered him was that this woman kept telling him not to be afraid!

This feeling was as if the woman herself was genuinely afraid, and she was constantly encouraging herself.

After walking for a very long time, they came to a bridge. When Long Rui saw the bridge, her eyes lit up slightly and she said, "Ye Qing, the route is right. This place is the correct direction of the golden route on the map left by my ancestor!"

Ye Qing paused, wondering if this woman was really alright and intended to take him to the location of the dragon's heart.

"There's light on the other side!" Just then, Ye Qing's pupils suddenly contracted slightly. It was an arched bridge, but it was more than a kilometer long. Ye Qing's current mental power could not cover such a distance, but within the range of his mental power, he saw some light on the other side, illuminating the darkness in the distance.

The woman kept repeating "Don't be afraid" as she walked towards the bridge!

The bridge looks like a mess, but it's also quite well-preserved, exuding a very rustic feel.

Ye Qing and his companions continued walking. After a few steps, Ye Qing noticed that there were many characters written on the bridge, but he couldn't understand any of them.

Before long, they arrived at the top of the arched bridge. Once at the top, the view in front of them became clear. Ye Qing saw two kinds of light intertwining in front of him, one a golden light, carrying a sense of holiness.

The other light was white, and within the range of Ye Qing's mental power, he discovered a person squatting on the stone bridge ahead, looking at the ground and muttering something.

Ye Qing immediately recognized that the person was none other than Sun Jie.

"It's Sun Jie!" Ye Qing looked at Long Rui!

"How did she end up here? Wasn't she drugged?" Long Rui's expression changed slightly as she spoke.

At that moment, they saw the woman in the white dress in front of them take several steps back, her eyes filled with a hint of fear.

"What's wrong?" Ye Qing asked.

The woman in white hesitated for a moment before asking, "Do you know her? Is she... your friend?"

"I guess so!" Ye Qing said.

“Alright, let’s take him with us to find the Heart of the Dragon!” the woman in white said, then she muttered to herself, “Don’t be afraid, as long as we’re within the range of this lantern, we’ll be fine!”

With that, she mustered her courage and walked forward!

Before long, their footsteps caught Sun Jie's attention. Sun Jie suddenly stood up, and in the next instant, her golden ancient book floated in front of her.

At the same time, a long sword was instantly drawn from her waist, and a surge of sword spirit power erupted from her. She looked sharply at the bridge and exclaimed, "Who!"

"Don't be nervous, it's us!" Ye Qing said.

When Sun Jie saw Ye Qing and Long Rui, she was first stunned. Then, when she saw the woman in white beside them, her pupils widened as she stammered, "She...she..."

Judging from Sun Jie's reaction, it's quite obvious that she seems to know something!

Ye Qing quickly said, "She is a member of the Ghost Clan that we met here. We encountered some trouble, and she led us out of it."

Ye Qing saw the fear in her eyes, which she was trying her best to suppress.

At the same time, he could clearly sense that the woman in white in front of him was speaking in a more hurried tone!

"Don't be afraid, don't be afraid!"

She sensed something was wrong, so she quickly spoke up.

"Hurry, hurry!" Just then, the woman in white said, "We have to hurry, or it will be too late! We have to get to the heart of the dragon as soon as possible!"
