CHAPTER 548: CHAPTER 548: I WANT TO SEARCH YOUR TEAMMATE

Yang Xiao landed on the ground with Long Xiang under the cover of night, then briefly instructed Lan Xin and Huang Wen. To avoid drawing the attention of the Genetic Store owner at the airport, Yang Xiao deliberately landed in the outskirts.

Huang Wen brought a team of warriors from the Flying People Team nearby, blending Long Xiang and Lan Xin into the group, and they reached the Transmission Array near the Genetic Store, leaving Tianyue City.

Through the Transmission Array, Long Xiang, Huang Wen, Lan Xin and others arrived at Shenlongjia. With the protection of the team, they quietly flew toward the deep mountains near Shenlongjia.

Lan Xin and Long Xiang rode on Yang Xiao’s Giant Eagle, accompanied by Huang Wen and others, and flew into the lake valley deep in the mountains of Shenlongjia. Huang Wen left some daily necessities, bid farewell to Long Xiang and Lan Xin, and for safety reasons, took the Giant Eagle with her as well, because the Giant Eagle’s huge size was very conspicuous, leaving it in the valley could expose their location.

With Long Xiang there, Lan Xin wouldn’t be in danger deep in the mountains of Shenlongjia.

Huang Wen led the Flying People Team directly to another stronghold, then returned to the airport in Tianyue City.

Only Yang Xiao, Lan Xin, and Huang Wen knew the truth about Long Xiang in the entire incident.

Upon returning to the airport, Huang Wen found the atmosphere very tense; the scene was bustling with a large number of people gathering.

She just met Xia Luo and asked:

"What’s happening?"

Xia Luo whispered:

"I don’t know. Suddenly, more than a dozen people in black cloaks arrived; they’re inside talking to the boss right now. The boss ordered all personnel to gather."

Huang Wen nodded, nobody knew where she had been, because they had just taken over the airport, everything was quite chaotic. She patrolled the night sky with the Flying People Team, and with the cover of darkness, many people were unaware of each other’s movements.

...

As it turned out, just after Long Xiang and others left through the Transmission Array, more than a dozen men in black appeared at the Transmission Array in front of Zhongyun Building in Tianyue City.

Leading them was Long Wei and several men in black cloaks.

Long Wei entered the Genetic Store,

"Was it at your establishment that reported the sighting of a dragon just now?"

The owner of the Genetic Store immediately put on a smile and said:

"Lord Long Wei, I’m not entirely sure, but everyone present was shouting it’s a dragon, and it was huge in the sky, over a hundred meters long, with immense power. I guessed it might be a dragon, so I reported it."

"Oh, and then?"

"That dragon disappeared after killing a thousand or two people, it was too dark, and no one knows where it went."

Long Wei frowned; he had participated in the hunt for the Giant Dragon in the depths of the East Sea along with Long Yu and others from Tianzhou and other regions, so he was well aware of the immense power of a Giant Dragon, particularly an adult one, which was tremendously powerful and lethal.

After a moment of contemplation, Long Wei told the owner of the Genetic Store:

"Go call the person in charge here."

After saying that, he walked out with more than a dozen men in black cloaks, heading toward a distant square.

At the moment, the square still had over a thousand ice sculptures that hadn’t melted, retaining the poses of being standing, lying down, or fleeing, remaining on the square.

Long Wei observed, such immense group damage skills were not something a regular Genetic Evolver could achieve; even King Level Evolvers probably couldn’t either.

Soon, the owner of the Genetic Store brought He Hui, Zhu Hao, and Xu Li to Long Wei’s back.

"Lord Long Wei, these three are the person in charge of Eastern Province. After the death of East City’s King Li Jiachen, these three are temporarily overseeing."

Long Wei turned around, glanced at He Hui and the others, and said in a serious tone:

"Did you see the Giant Dragon?"

He Hui and his colleagues were startled and said:

"We, we’re not sure either, we have never seen a dragon before. Are there really dragons?"

Long Wei’s heart skipped a beat, it seemed Earthlings were unaware of the existence of dragons.

"What did you just witness? Who turned these people into ice figures?"

He Hui and the two others hastily recounted the events they had just witnessed. Having heard their account, Long Wei felt he had a general understanding of the situation.

"Where did the giant dragon escape to?"

"We’re not sure about that, but I think it might be related to Yang Xiao from Kongming City."

"Hmm?"

Long Wei focused his piercing gaze on He Hui.

He Hui explained:

"Yang Xiao attacked us at night and managed to strike Jinzhou City overnight from a thousand miles away. I suspect that the giant dragon might have been brought over by him. Otherwise, how could he have assaulted the city so smoothly?"

He Hui had already picked up on some strange cues from the expressions of Long Wei and the owner of the Genetic Store. They seemed to be particularly concerned about the giant dragon. Although He Hui wasn’t sure whether the giant dragon was related to Yang Xiao, he thought framing him might provide a turning point.

After listening, Long Wei spoke indifferently:

"I will not intervene in your war."

Having said that, he headed to the Transmission Array with a dozen or so of his subordinates, swept a black Jade Token through the aura of the array, and was instantly transported to the airport.

For Long Wei and his people, all the Transmission Arrays were open to them. They carried special passes, which allowed the black Jade Token to unlock all pathways of the Transmission Array without the need for mutual authorization.

Just as Lan Xin and Long Xiang had disappeared from the airport’s Transmission Array, Long Wei appeared within five minutes.

Long Wei found Yang Xiao.

When Yang Xiao saw Long Wei appear, he knew trouble was brewing, and he forced himself to remain calm while approaching to greet him:

"Greetings to Lord Long Wei."

Long Wei nodded and asked directly:

"Yang Xiao, do you have a giant dragon in your team?"

Long Wei didn’t beat around the bush; he spoke straightforwardly about his purpose.

Yang Xiao pretended to be surprised:

"A dragon? A giant dragon? Lord Long Wei, what are you talking about? I don’t quite understand."

"I’m asking if you have any members of the Dragon Clan among your subordinates. Do you understand now?"

Yang Xiao still feigned ignorance:

"The Dragon Clan? Lord Long Wei, are you joking? Earth’s legends about dragons are all fabrications, feudal superstitions, deceiving the people. How could there be any member of the Dragon Clan among my subordinates? I wish there were; I really want to see what dragons really look like."

"Just now, there was a dragon fighting with Jinzhou’s guards in the sky above Tianyue City. Didn’t you see it?"

"I saw it, but all we saw was a flash of lightning in the distance and heard some roars, then nothing else. It was too dark, and after a night of battle, my guards were tired. We didn’t dare to rashly proceed. I went by myself to check it out from a distance, but I saw nothing."

"How do you explain the accusation that the dragon might be one of your subordinates?"

Yang Xiao’s heart skipped a beat, damn, what a frame-up, he then said with a smile:

"If I had a giant dragon, I would certainly let the giant dragon lead the charge during an attack, followed by the rest of my warriors. But as you can see, my team hasn’t made any moves at all. Surely the other party has mentioned this too, right?"

Long Wei nodded. What Yang Xiao said seemed reasonable. If Yang Xiao had utilized a giant dragon in battle, why would he only send it solo into combat while the main force stayed put?

It didn’t make sense.

But where did this giant dragon come from? And why did it suddenly partake in the battle of Jinzhou? Long Wei could not find any leads.

"I need to search your team."

Long Wei stated coldly.
