The ti had unknowingly reached deep into the night, with a chill beginning to perate the air.
In Ye Qiu's hotel room, the atmosphere felt particularly heavy.
Because Cat and the others, who had gone out to gather information, had returned and were reporting their findings to Ye Qiu.
"Dragon Tiger Mountain is just an ordinary mountain in Ying City, with many tourists playing around its vicinity. It seems like a very ordinary place."
Cat and the others paused here, then continued, "However, after persistently probing the locals, we still managed to gather so intelligence."
"Although Dragon Tiger Mountain appears unremarkable, the back mountain is considered a forbidden area by the locals. Many people who dared to venture into it encountered sothing strange; they either beca terrified, went insane, or simply vanished. It's very eerie. Additionally, various strange myths and legends originate from that back mountain."
Cat and the others, speaking with a more somber tone, said, "Because of this, we specifically went to investigate that so-called back mountain and found it desolate and overgrown, seemingly abandoned long ago."
"However, while wandering in the back mountain of Dragon Tiger Mountain, both Huang Zhentian and I felt sothing odd, as if soone was watching us, making our skin crawl. Besides, it was already dark, so we didn't dare to stay long and returned to report the situation to you."
After speaking, Cat recalled the chilling sensation and still felt a tinge of fear.
"What do you think, my lord?"
Only after Cat finished reporting did Huang Zhentian look at Ye Qiu and couldn't help but ask.
"I think it's very suspicious."
Ye Qiu, frowning seriously, said, "If it's really like you said, with so many strange tales about the back mountain of Dragon Tiger Mountain, and you had that tingling feeling, sothing must be hidden there. It's definitely not as deserted as it seems!!!"
At this point, Ye Qiu couldn't help but recall the various arrays laid by those Feng Shui Masters he encountered in Hong Kong and started to speculate.
If the back mountain of Dragon Tiger Mountain were enveloped by an array, ordinary people would be unable to enter and would only linger at the periphery, possibly even experiencing illusions or getting trapped.
In this way, many of the strange myths ntioned by Cat and the others could be explained.
"I fear Phoenix's Divine Blood was indeed acquired by Zhuge Yang from the back mountain of Dragon Tiger Mountain!"
With this thought, Ye Qiu took a deep breath and speculated.
...
Outside Ye Qiu's room.
Dark lurked silently outside the window, initially prepared to sneak into Ye Qiu's room and capture him.
However, hearing Ye Qiu and the others discussing the back mountain of Dragon Tiger Mountain, Dark chose to continue hiding and eavesdropped on their conversation.
When he heard them ntion Divine Blood, Dark couldn't help but feel a strong emotional surge.
What are they talking about? Divine Blood?!!
Though Dark was a super-strong being on par with Tianqi, his strength was slightly inferior, thus if he could obtain the Divine Blood and absorb its Divine Realm Laws, he could potentially significantly increase his power!!!
With this thought, Dark's eyes couldn't help but reveal a glimr of greed.
As Dark's emotions stirred, he accidentally released a trace of his power.
In this quiet hour of the night, any sound, even a faint trace of power, becos magnified and conspicuously noticeable.
Although Dark quickly restrained his aura after realizing, Ye Qiu inside the room still detected that trace of energy fluctuation, his expression turning icy cold.
"Who is there!!!"
Imdiately, Ye Qiu shouted, fixing his gaze sharply towards the window's direction, his internal power already circulating, nerves tensed!
Because Dark, after all, was a super-strong being on par with Tianqi, a Divine Realm master, even a tiny slip of his energy felt imnsely threatening.
Seeing Ye Qiu's sudden defensive posture, Cat and the others were montarily stunned, but then followed suit, becoming cautiously vigilant.
Exposed?
Outside the window, seeing Ye Qiu detect his presence, Dark's face also turned cold.
Since exposed, let's make a move!!!
Dark's task, assigned by Rosde, was to capture Ye Qiu, dead or alive.
So killing Ye Qiu and his people should be acceptable too.
"Crash~!!"
The next mont, accompanied by the sound of shattering glass, Dark burst through the window, swooping towards Ye Qiu like a shadow, dagger in hand aiming straight for Ye Qiu's head!!!
Dark intended to kill Ye Qiu with a single blow!!!
Dark's movent was exceptionally swift, and in others' eyes, all they could perceive was a fleeting shadow charging towards Ye Qiu, unable to react.
Unfortunately for Dark, Ye Qiu was not among those unable to react.
Although Dark was a formidable Divine Realm entity, with incredible speed, Ye Qiu also possessed near-Divine Realm power, having mastered part of the Divine Realm Laws, which made him no less formidable than Dark!!!
Thus, as Dark's dagger targeted Ye Qiu's head, Ye Qiu clenched his fist, delivering a punch faster and more forceful than Dark's maneuver, striking towards Dark's head fiercely!!!
"How is this possible?!!"
Faced with Ye Qiu's counterattack, Dark's expression changed instantly because Ye Qiu's speed was unexpectedly faster, and if he persisted in attacking, Ye Qiu could surely blow his head off before he pierced Ye Qiu's skull!!!
Yes, simply blow his head apart with a punch!!!
Ye Qiu's speed and strength had reached Divine Realm levels, not inferior to his at all!!!
So, though shocked and incredulous, Dark's reason forced him to halt his actions abruptly, changing his attack mid-air, sidestepping Ye Qiu's punch before continuing with his dagger towards Ye Qiu's throat!!!
