Chapter 107: Seeking Help
After returning to their residence, Long Yue and the others were crowded in Ye Feng’s place watching TV, which relieved Ye Feng and his companion.
“Big brother, why did you guys come back so early?” Long Yue asked casually while holding the remote control.
“What are you guys doing? I bought it for you. Doesn’t the house next door also have a TV?” Long Tian glanced at the pitiful Qing Lang trio, who were crouched in the corner drawing circles, realizing that Long Yue had bullied them again.
“Let’s gather together—it’s more lively with more people!” Long Yue said with a smirk. “Besides, as four girls without any men to protect us, we feel completely insecure…”
Ye Feng stopped their argument and pulled Long Tian onto the balcony.
“This isn’t that simple. If the opponent could kill Hu Die in such a short time, it means he can instantly take out anyone around us. Protecting them alone will keep us from focusing. With just the two of us, we don’t have enough time or energy to handle this. We need help!” Ye Feng frowned. After a long journey back and away from the massacre site, he began to calm down and think about the next steps.
“Who can we ask for help?” Long Tian searched his mind but couldn’t find a suitable candidate.
“The Dragon Group! Although their strength isn’t great, their team leaders are all at the Ning Dan level. Moreover, a few of the leaders come from ancient sects with a thousand-year heritage. We must use them to contact other cultivators in the country.” This was the only solution Ye Feng could think of. “Brother Yi has a friend in the Dragon Group. I can ask him for help!”
“If it’s someone at the Yuan Ying level, I can contact Pei Hong and the others. As for Yu Wen Zhuo, forget about him—he gives me a strange feeling.” Long Tian said as he took out his phone and flipped through his contacts.
“We’ve only met those people once and don’t know them well. Since the killer is at the Yuan Ying level, any of them could be the culprit! Asking them to help is like handing over our backs to strangers—it’s not safe,” Ye Feng shook his head.
“Then bring Li Qing along. She’s a Jin Dan level cultivator with strong strength and is trustworthy. She probably knows many people in the cultivation world. We can ask her for help.” Long Tian remembered Li Qing, who had introduced him to Hu Die. She was also Long Ao’s assistant. Though they hadn’t spoken much, she was utterly loyal to Long Ao.
“Well, you contact Li Qing, and I’ll get in touch with the Dragon Group!” Ye Feng nodded and dialed the number that Yi Fan had given him earlier. Yi Fan had left this number for Ye Feng in case he needed help back in China while he wasn’t around, telling him to reach out to this person when assistance was needed.
…
That year was Su Hao’s seventh year with the Dragon Group, and he could be considered a veteran member. However, after learning about the death of his close friend some time ago, he had been in a low mood ever since.
Late at night, unable to sleep again, he climbed onto the roof alone and sat quietly on the balcony, gazing up at the moon in thought.
Just then, his phone, which usually stayed silent, suddenly rang. He picked it up—it was astranger number. He was about to hang up when he noticed through the security software that the call was coming from City H. At that moment, he remembered that his deceased friend had once called him from City H.
“Could it be a coincidence?” He frowned slightly but still pressed the answer button.
A young man’s voice came through the phone, “Hello, may I ask if this is Mr. Su Hao?”
Su Hao remained silent for a while. He couldn’t tell who the caller was, and aside from his fellow Dragon Group members and a few close friends, no one else knew this number. “It is me. Who are you?”
“I’m Yi Fan’s teammate from the Hunters…” Those words made Su Hao’s heart pound.
“You’re that newcomer?” Su Hao asked immediately.
“That’s right, I’m Ye Feng! Listen, I know you have many questions, but I don’t have time to explain now. I need your help! This is an urgent matter!” Su Hao, who had been about to ask something, realized from the other person’s words that they were in trouble. Interrupting them now would clearly be unwise.
“I need you to pass on this message to your captain. Please write it down on paper, because there might be many things you don’t understand, but a captain at the Ningdan level will know what’s going on.” Hearing this, Su Hao became immediately anxious. He knew Yi Fan’s teammate wouldn’t joke about such matters.
He rushed back to his room and grabbed paper and pen from his desk. “Go ahead, I’ll write down every word!”
“Tonight, a massacre occurred at the ghost market in City H, with hundreds of deaths! Among the victims was someone at the peak of the Golden Core stage! The perpetrators are currently at large, but it is estimated that they are at least at the Yuan Ying stage and there are at least two of them. The motive behind the massacre is unclear, and I am still investigating this matter. I need a strong warrior at the level of a sect’s Dragon Team leader to convey this news to their own sect and inform everyone in the cultivation world! It would be even better if any strong warriors are willing to come to City H to help!”
“Okay, I’ve written down everything Ye Feng said.”
“I know you and Yi Fan are good friends, and you have many questions about him, but I don’t have time to explain much now. Please make sure to deliver this message to your team leader…” After hearing the other party hang up, Su Hao picked up the piece of paper in his hand and read it carefully.
Then he picked up the phone and dialed a number. “Hello, is this the team leader? It’s Su Hao! I’ve just received urgent news that I need to tell you in person…”
