Futu’s intelligence network covers the entire Huaxia; even the sacred lands of martial arts might not compare. Thus, they had long known what happened that night. When the Heavenly Net Envoy arrived, he imdiately understood the visitor’s purpose.
In the eting room, the leader of Futu solemnly said, "Rest assured. Sky Net is our closest ally. Since trouble has arisen, we will certainly do our utmost to assist."
Hearing this, the envoy of Sky Net visibly relaxed. Originally, he thought this mission would encounter so setbacks, but he hadn’t expected the leader of Futu to be so straightforward. In his mind, Mr. Xiao’s judgnt was indeed remarkable.
After saying those words, the leader of Futu began to mobilize his forces. Dugu Baitian, having gained insight after the battle at Luofeng Slope, was in seclusion but was called out.
Eventually, the leader of Futu gathered Dugu Baitian, a Martial Saint, along with several Great Grandmaster-level experts and a group of Innate Strong People, instructing them to fully support Sky Net in their defense.
Dugu Bai Tian, though not very talkative, was warm-hearted beneath his cold exterior. He had fought alongside Xiao Zheng many tis and considered him a friend, so he had no objections.
Once everyone was assembled, they imdiately set off for the Sky Net Base. Their efficiency was remarkable; the Sky Net envoy had not been there long before everything was ready, clearly showing that the Futu leader had prepared in advance.
The Sky Net envoy was moved. Though Futu’s actions were partly to strengthen ties with Sky Net, the risk they were willing to take made them excellent allies.
Before long, Dugu Baitian led his group to the Sky Net Base.
Long Qie and his two companions were overjoyed to learn that Futu had sent such a powerful force and hurried to welco them.
They had previously battled alongside Dugu Baitian many tis and were well-acquainted. When they t, the atmosphere was lively.
After a brief conversation, Long Qie then seriously recounted the recent events regarding Sky Net, saying, "According to our analysis, the force behind the ambush on Mr. Xiao is determined to kill Xiao Zheng and is likely to strike again.
They can no longer resort to cunning tactics,
so it is highly probable they will launch a direct assault."
Everyone nodded in agreent. The inference seed reasonable, suggesting that a monuntal battle might soon unfold.
"So, the next task is simple: we will lie in wait here," Long Qie articulated their strategy, asking, "What does everyone think?"
Out of respect for Dugu Baitian and his group, Long Qie and the others sought their opinion before taking action.
Dugu Baitian imdiately expressed that all subsequent actions would follow Long Qie and his team’s commands, and they would not act independently.
Hearing this, Long Qie sighed in relief. Since Dugu Baitian and his group were willing to be managed, the ensuing actions would proceed more smoothly.
"Alright. I’ll begin assigning tasks..."
Long Qie imdiately outlined the previously planned strategies, placing Dugu Baitian and the others in extrely critical positions,
demonstrating Sky Net’s imnse trust in them.
Shortly, the entirety of Sky Net was enclosed by this powerful defensive force, rendering it nearly impregnable.
At this mont, ti seed to stand still, but beneath the calm, everyone’s nerves were taut, not daring to relax.
Thus, the night passed.
Based on information from Sky Net and Futu’s intelligence systems, the outside world was still abuzz with discussion. Various martial artists and factions were keeping a close watch on Sky Net, with sympathy and support as the predominant sentints.
In fact, so even ca to the Sky Net Base, offering to help defend it.
After a discussion, Long Qie and his group found that most of those who ca were passionate young martial artists. While spirited and generous, they had one shortcoming: lack of strength.
If the enemy behind the incidents truly attacked Sky Net, these individuals would be useless and rely sacrificed in vain.
Long Qie imdiately arranged for soone to gently persuade these people to leave.
By daylight, the defenders at Sky Net Base allowed themselves a slight relaxation. Most attacks occurred at night, as assaults during the day were more easily detected.
However, amidst this atmosphere, a group suddenly appeared outside the base.
This group consisted of only five individuals, but each exuded an aura of overwhelming strength, powerful enough to pierce the sky. Only Martial Saints could possess such an aura.
These individuals were dressed in black, tightly cloaked from head to toe. After appearing at a distance from the base, they slowly advanced toward it, their expressions proudly disdainful, without any intent to conceal their presence.
"Woo..."
A mournful horn sounded across the land.
Inside Sky Net, scouts spotted the five black-clad figures in the distance and imdiately sounded the horn.
Upon hearing this, everyone within Sky Net beca serious, swiftly and orderly springing into action.
In monts, layers of defensive nets were deployed.
Long Qie, Titan, Evil Eyes, Dugu Baitian — the four masters within Sky Net — stood high above, gazing at the five figures in the distance.
Their expressions grew solemn.
Five Martial Saints.
No one had anticipated such a bold move — dispatching five Martial Saints at once. Furthermore, they made no attempt to hide their approach, brazenly showing up during daylight hours.
"Today..."
Long Qie took a deep breath, saying, "We may face a bloody battle, perhaps a fight to the death."
In the Martial Arts World, strength commands respect. This principle forms the backdrop where, once one becos a strong person, nurical advantages beco irrelevant; no matter how many people there are, they can only be crushed.
Five Martial Saints, even if they were the most ordinary Martial Saints, were enough to overwhelm Sky Net’s defenses in this situation.
Yet, in Long Qie and the others’ eyes, there was no trace of fear; instead, they exuded intense fighting spirit.
At worst, we’ll die!
No matter what, as long as they lived, they could not allow anyone to step foot into the base! For Mr. Xiao’s Sky Net, they would give their lives to protect it.
