Chapter 570: The Strength of the Dragon Group

"Those people outside are in for some bad luck!"

Watching the Evil Energy rising from Nangong Yi's body, Nangong Nayue sent a voice transmission to Lingyun.

"Their bad luck has nothing to do with me!" Lingyun shrugged. "If anything, the more unlucky they are, the happier I am; that way, no one will come to bother us!"

"This is the black tea you selected!" The shopkeeper smiled as he handed a delicate box to Nangong Nayue.

Lingyun pulled a card from his wallet and handed it to the boss. This card was set up for him by Chen Jing back then, and all the funds Lingyun obtained from selling Qingshen Tea and Blood Coagulation Pill were in it. As for how much money was in it now, even Lingyun himself did not know.

After paying, Lingyun was in no hurry to leave, as the two of them still had to look after Nangong Yue.

Auntie Zhang, standing to the side, looked at the two of them with some curiosity. The fact that Nangong Yi could let these two look after Nangong Yue meant they must have extraordinary qualities. However, no matter how she looked at them, she could not see anything special about them.

"Could it be that the strength of these two has already surpassed the realm that I can currently perceive?" Auntie Zhang muttered in her heart.

The group did not stay in the black tea shop for long before Nangong Yi returned, but judging by his expression, it was clear that this operation had not gone very smoothly.

After saying goodbye to Nangong Yi, Lingyun and Nangong Nayue returned to their Villa.

"Jingjing, Wanyue, you're back?" Seeing the two women appear in the Villa, a look of surprise appeared on Lingyun's face.

"Yes, the International Exchange Conference is in a few days, so we thought we'd come back here to cultivate for a while," Su Wanyue said, putting down the book in her hand.

"By the way, Lingyun, I have some rather bad news," Chen Jing suddenly said to Lingyun.

"Bad news? Did something happen?" Lingyun asked.

"Well, I heard that some forces outside the borders want to take advantage of the International Exchange Conference to stir up trouble within the country. During the International Exchange Conference, most of the experts above the Golden Core realm in the country will leave Huaxia to attend the conference, so it might be very dangerous inside the country," Chen Jing said with a frown.

"So that's what it is. Then you don't need to worry; with the Dragon Group in the country, those people won't be able to stir up any waves!" Lingyun waved his hand and said.

"The Dragon Group, can they handle it?" Chen Jing asked with a frown.

"Chen Jing, you are underestimating the Dragon Group too much," Lingyun said helplessly.

"I didn't mean to underestimate the Dragon Group, but the number of enemies the Dragon Group has to face this time is simply too high. As far as I know, there are at least six forces with strength equal to the Dragon Group preparing to take action within the country this time."

"Jingjing, when did you get the illusion that they could stand on equal footing with the Dragon Group?" Lingyun asked.

"Eh, isn't that the case?" Chen Jing tilted her head and acted cute.

"Jingjing, think about it carefully. If the Dragon Group were truly weak, why did all the foreign forces retreat from the Continent in such a sorry state during that war back then? If the Dragon Group were truly weak, why could they set a ban that no experts above the Heaven Tier are allowed to enter Huaxia, and no one has dared to violate it for decades, until now, when the world is changing, that some people dare to test the edge of courting death?" Lingyun said calmly.

"But the Dragon Group's strength doesn't look very strong!"

"That is only their strength on the surface. The Dragon Group you see is but the tip of the iceberg of a massive force," Lingyun said, squinting his eyes. "If those old monsters hidden within the Dragon Group were to appear at the same time, let alone six forces, even if there were sixteen, as long as they dared to enter the Continent, the Dragon Group could completely devour them!"

"Is the Dragon Group really that exaggerated?" Chen Jing was still somewhat incredulous; after all, the power the Dragon Group had shown to everyone over the years was only this much.

"No one will show all their strength on the surface. Hiding one's hand, revealing another, and always keeping an ace up one's sleeve—that is our consistent practice, isn't it?" Lingyun said with a faint smile. "Besides, have you noticed one thing? Even you know about this, so how could Long Jingtian not know?"

"The Dragon Group has a powerful intelligence network; it's impossible for them not to know about this!" Chen Jing said.

"Since they know about this, why is Long Jingtian not panicked at all? It is obvious that Long Jingtian is most likely secretly calculating how to give those guys a big gift!" A strange smile appeared on Lingyun's face. "Over the years, the Dragon Group has appeared extremely low-key. Many people have gradually forgotten its fangs; otherwise, it would be impossible for so many people to be frantically testing the edge of courting death during this period. This time, Long Jingtian is going to use the blood of these people to sound an alarm for others. The Dragon Group has never been a pushover. The Dragon Group hasn't moved against you not because they can't, but because they haven't wanted to yet, nothing more!"

"Uh, so you mean we don't need to worry about domestic affairs at all?" Su Wanyue asked.

"That's not entirely true either. After all, those people have no bottom line, so some things still need to be guarded against." Lingyun thought of the World-Extinguishing Blood Curse in Ji Haoyue's body and frowned slightly. "I think I'll send them a message when the time comes!"

"By the way, how is Ji Haoyue doing?" Lingyun asked.

"He should be at the Ji Family ancestral grounds now, and Ling Shuang is there to help him recuperate. I estimate that in another period of time, his body will be able to recover to the level you previously required!" Chen Jing said.

"Is that so? That's fine then. Once this International Exchange Conference is over, we will set off for the Ji Family to help him remove the World-Extinguishing Blood Curse," Lingyun said.

"Do you need me to notify the Ji Family?" Chen Jing asked.

"It would be good to notify them in advance. By the way, are you all preparing to go to the International Exchange Conference this time?" Lingyun asked.

"Yes, there are only a few days left until the International Exchange Conference, so we will be staying here for these few days!" Su Wanyue said.

"By the way, is there still no news regarding the Oni King of Black Mountain?"

"Some time ago, we tracked down the lair of the Oni King of Black Mountain, but his lair had already been destroyed by someone. Judging from the traces left at the scene, the person who took action was very likely someone from the main branch of the Ji Family," Su Wanyue said.

"The main branch of the Ji Family?" Lingyun raised an eyebrow. "The Oni King of Black Mountain attacked the Su Family and almost caused Ji Haoyue to lose his life; naturally, they couldn't swallow this insult."

"In that case, the Su Family's biggest threat has been eliminated, and I can rest assured to go to the Exchange Conference," Su Wanyue said.

"Hey, Lingyun, how many people are actually going to the International Exchange Conference this time?" Chen Jing asked.

"To be honest, I don't know either," Lingyun spread his hands. "It mainly depends on whether they are interested, but I think there might be quite a few people who are interested."
