Chapter 169: Shimada's Conspiracy

Just as Chen Jing was marveling at the strength possessed by Lingyun and the others, Su Wanyue, who had been silent on the side, suddenly spoke up: "Sister Ye Xi, the person who saved me on Mount Tai last time was you, right!"

"Eh?" Luo Yexi could not help but be stunned, then looked at Su Wanyue with some astonishment.

"It really was you, Sister Ye Xi!" Looking at the astonished Luo Yexi, an expression of "as I expected" appeared on Su Wanyue's face.

"How did you guess it?" Luo Yexi asked.

"Before this, it was just a guess of mine; I didn't expect that the person who saved me last time was really you, Sister Ye Xi!" A trace of a smile appeared on Su Wanyue's face. "As for why I thought the person who saved me was you, it was just a vague feeling I had. Although I couldn't directly recognize who saved me, my intuition kept telling me that the person who saved me was always nearby."

Taking a breath, Su Wanyue continued: "Most importantly, I learned from Captain Yan that the person who saved me used an extremely powerful Extreme Yang Internal Energy. Now that you, Ye Xi, have revealed such strength, I directly concluded that you are my savior!"

Listening to Su Wanyue's explanation, Luo Yexi also let out a soft breath; she had thought she had left some flaw behind when she saved her. If she had caused any trouble for Lingyun because of the traces she left, she would have been very distressed.

After Chen Jing and Su Wanyue stayed with Lingyun for a while, they left; after all, they were not ordinary people, and there were still many things in their daily lives that required them to handle personally.

However, when they left, Lingyun gifted each of them a Jade Talisman. Sealed within these two Jade Talismans were three of Luo Yexi's Sword Qi. When encountering danger, activating the Sword Qi in the Jade Talisman could unleash one of Luo Yexi's powerful Post-Heaven level strikes. At the same time, the two women promised Lingyun that they would have their subordinates investigate why people from R Country had come to attack Busujima Saeko.

"Master, is it reliable to leave this matter to Sister Chen Jing and the others? Will it cause them to run into any danger?" After Chen Jing and the other left, Luo Yexi looked at Lingyun with some doubt.

"We don't have our own intelligence network here right now, so we can only leave such information-gathering matters to them!" Lingyun smiled and waved his hand. "And don't underestimate them; the forces behind them are absolutely not as simple as others see!"

"Could it be that there are some powerful forces hidden behind Sister Chen Jing and the others?" Alice asked with some curiosity.

"Of course. If you really provoke the forces behind them, the fun will be huge then. Perhaps even the two of them haven't noticed that their status within that force is not generally high!" Mentioning that force, a trace of inexplicable nostalgia flashed in Lingyun's eyes.

"Master, do you know which force is behind Sister Chen Jing and the others?" Looking at Lingyun's expression, Yuuki asked softly.

"Hmm, I do know. In a sense, I have a certain connection with that force." Lingyun smiled and said. "Forget it, don't think so much about it now; after all, so much time has passed!"

While Lingyun and the others were laughing and chatting in the rented apartment, in the basement of a villa, a group of people were plotting something.

"Has everyone arrived?" Looking at the people present, the person in the lead coughed lightly and spoke.

"Yes, Team Leader, everyone has arrived!" one of the men in black responded.

"Everyone, you should know that today we took such a big risk, even going so far as to sacrifice the lives of some of our people to provide cover for this meeting!" the person in the lead said.

"We know, this is all for the grand plan of the Great God Hachimata!" one of them said in a deep voice.

"That's right, everything we do is for the Great God Hachimata, so that we can once again become the masters of this land!" When the leading man mentioned the so-called Great God Hachimata, his eyes were full of fanaticism, but soon, this fanaticism was masked by even crazier greed.

"For the Great God Hachimata!" A flash of fanaticism also crossed the eyes of those present, but as for what they were actually thinking in their hearts, I am afraid only they themselves knew.

"Gentlemen, the Great God Hachimata has now entered a state of reincarnation. We must find a sufficiently powerful sacrifice to allow the Great God Hachimata to restore his powerful strength. Previously, the Great God Hachimata already gave me instructions, saying that he has found the sacrifice sufficient for him to restore his strength. Now what we need is to spare no cost to bring the sacrifice before the Great God Hachimata!" The leading man waved his hand, and on a silver screen, eight different photos flashed by quickly; four of the photos had already turned gray.

"Team Leader Shimada, what is this?" one of the personnel asked.

"Some of the people in here you should be very familiar with, because they have already fallen into our hands; they are the sacrifices chosen by the Great God Hachimata!" Shimada looked at the eight women on the screen, a trace of greed flashing in his eyes, but this emotion was quickly suppressed by him. He did not have the strength or the guts to snatch people from the Great God Hachimata he spoke of.

If Lingyun were present now, he would definitely be able to discover that among the photos that had not turned gray, Luo Yexi and Busujima Saeko were clearly listed.

"Team Leader, these two women are not easy to deal with!" A sharp-eyed subordinate recognized Busujima Saeko and Luo Yexi. "At the hands of these two, we have lost quite a few experts, and even several Chunin have been lost!"

"Lost several Chunin?" Shimada also frowned slightly. Chunin are equivalent to Mysterious Tier Martial Artists and are the backbone of their combat power for this infiltration into Huaxia. That the opponent could make them lose several Chunin indicates that they are definitely not ordinary people!

"What about their intelligence?" Shimada asked with a frown.

Someone below quickly handed a document bag into his hand.

Shimada opened the document bag and looked carefully at the documents inside. After a while, his brows could not help but wrinkle slightly: "It seems that there is indeed a certain amount of strength behind these two, but no matter who it is, they cannot stop my determination to resurrect the Great God Hachimata!"

After carefully looking at the documents in the bag, Shimada fixed his gaze on one of the photos; this photo was precisely Lingyun's photo.

"If the Great God Hachimata has already regained his strength by then, then even if you want to find trouble with me, it will just be courting your own destruction. Since those two girls have experts guarding them, then I will make you two deliver yourselves to my door obediently. I don't believe that this person who looks so ordinary can have any experts guarding him!"

Shimada put down the photo in his hand, and Lingyun's portrait quickly appeared on the big screen: "Since the target person has experts guarding them, then we might as well change our thinking and lure the other party out. You take a squad and get this person for me. I don't believe they won't come to save him then. At that time, we will be able to capture them without any effort!"

The people present looked at each other and then nodded. In their eyes, Lingyun was just an ordinary boy with no redeeming qualities. To capture such a person, in their view, was completely effortless!

After Shimada issued the order, the people present left in a hurry, and at the same time, they erased the traces of their presence here. After all, the people of the Dragon Group are not to be trifled with; if they discovered this gathering, they would all be finished!
