Dragon Hidden in the Sky

Chapter 484, Page 484: I Want to Live

"More dangerous than the entire Brahma realm?" Ye Qing asked.

“He’s a madman!” Zhuge Tianqing took a deep breath and said, “He’s been a madman since he was a child.”

"How so?" Ye Qing asked.

"Do you know how he escaped the net of heaven and earth?" Ye Qing asked.

"Wasn't it because he couldn't get promoted that he left?" Ye Qing asked.

Zhuge Tianqing shook his head and said, "That is indeed one of the conditions. In fact, he doesn't care about those rankings at all. He's just focused on his own scientific research. Those rankings aren't that important to him!"

"The real reason is that he... felt that we couldn't win by resisting like this, and that we would lose sooner or later. So he came up with an extremely crazy plan!" Zhuge Tianqing said, "He said he had a chance to develop a virus that was highly contagious. Once he succeeded in developing it, the virus could multiply rapidly and spread throughout the world in just one month!"

Ye Qing's expression shifted, and he asked, "What virus?"

"A virus that only true qi can resist!" Zhuge Tianqing said, "This madman said that our method cannot protect this world, and we must select all those in the world with martial arts talent!"

"This virus can stimulate talent. Those who survive will develop antibodies, possess a trace of true qi, and embark on the path of martial arts!" Zhuge Tianqing said, "Only when there are enough martial artists will we have a chance to resist the iron lump!"

"Isn't this great?" Ye Qing asked.

“But… those who lack martial arts talent and cannot cultivate true qi will die! Everyone will die!” Zhuge Tianqing said.

Upon hearing this, Ye Qing felt his scalp tingle. He thought of the virus that had been released on Penglai Island.

He even wondered if this guy had appeared on Exile Island and was probably conducting some kind of experiment.

"We naturally refused at the time, but later we discovered that he was secretly conducting this research," Zhuge Tianqing said. "It was precisely because of this mistake that he failed to get promoted!"

"The Pavilion Master of the Hundred Knowledge Pavilion didn't tell me!" Ye Qing said.

"Only Yi Shuihan and I knew about this," Zhuge Tianqing said. "We didn't make a fuss. We only arrested him after we discovered he was secretly researching this thing!"

"But he escaped later. Now it seems that the main family was behind it. That's why he became a member of Brahma," Zhuge Tianqing said.

“This guy is a real madman!” Zhuge Tianqing said.

Upon hearing Zhuge Tianqing's words, Ye Qing nodded in deep agreement.

"That guy even told me about Earth's history!" Ye Qing said.

He then relayed Z's words to Zhuge Tianqing. After listening, Zhuge Tianqing pondered and said, "To be honest, I think there is some truth to what he said. In fact, we know nothing about history, and there are indeed some hidden places on Earth where many strange historical relics exist."

"But we'll probably find out the specifics once we capture Chen Chong and his wife," Zhuge Tianqing said. "If you can fully awaken and master your special ability, things might be different. But... everything is moving in a positive direction!"

"Although we were interrupted thirty years ago, your generation has grown up very quickly, and there are even people like Su Liuyun who entered the Super level in their teens!" Zhuge Tianqing said, "By the way, let's get down to business. Who are your team members for this Heavenly Net competition?"

Ye Qing pondered for a moment and then said, "Twelve people, right?"

"Hmm!" Zhuge Tianqing said, "Including you, there are twelve people!"

Ye Qing pondered for a moment and said, "Me! Lin Qianyu, Sixth Senior Sister, Su Liuyun, Su Qing, Yang Xiaoxiao, and those who came back with us from this island are Qi Ping'an, Wang Chaoyin, and Chen Dengyun, if they have no problems!"

“Nine people now, three more to go!” Zhuge Tianqing said.

"If possible, I would like to have Jingyan from the Hidden Sect join my team as well!" Ye Qing said.

“Jingyan?” Zhuge Tianqing pondered and said, “I’ll have Yi Shuihan talk to Xuan Kong then, and I don’t think there will be too much of a problem.”

"If there are two people left, we'll have to choose from among the many available!" Ye Qing said.

“No problem!” Zhuge Tianqing said, “However, what Yi Shuihan and I are thinking is that you can assemble a super team that surpasses the ace team!”

"Your squad has quite a few super-powerful members, but isn't the Dynasty Seal a bit too weak?" Zhuge Tianqing said. "In the combined attack formation of the Heavenly Net, it becomes the weakest link. When you assemble it, it's bound to deal with peerless masters. As for advanced-level experts... I'm afraid it won't even have a chance to make a move in a fight!"

Ye Qing was speechless for a moment, then he nodded and said, "Well... we'll see when we get back!"

"Hmm!" Zhuge Tianqing nodded and said, "Alright, I'm too lazy to talk to you anymore. Didn't Tang Xin want you to go down and talk to her alone? Go ahead, you might be able to find out some important information. Try your best to find out all of Brahma's secrets!"

"To complete the mission, sacrificing a little bit of your looks isn't out of the question. That girl is pretty enough, so you won't be at a disadvantage. Don't worry, I won't tell Lin Qianyu!" Zhuge Tianqing said.

Ye Qing: "..."

"I'm going to check on the boss!" Zhuge Tianqing said, walking towards the cabin.

Ye Qing stood on the deck, gazing at the distant island until it completely disappeared from his sight. Only then did his expression shift slightly before he walked towards the cabin.

Tang Xin was detained on the second floor of the cruise ship in a rather simple room.

Ye Qing pushed open the door. Inside the room, Tang Xin was sitting in front of the window. Her dantian had also been destroyed, so she was now just an ordinary person. There was no need to worry about her escaping on the sea!

"You really came!" Tang Xin said.

"Just say what you have to say!" Ye Qing said.

"I want to live!" Tang Xin said.

"Want to live?" Ye Qing looked at her with interest and said, "Since you went to the East Sea, you've been involved in one thing after another. Do you think I'd let you live?"

"You can!" Tang Xin said, a confident smile spreading across her face.
