Dragon Hidden in the Sky

Chapter 1166 Blueprints

Soon, Zhang Heng led Ye Qing into the courtyard. There were four men and two women in the courtyard, all sitting cross-legged. When they saw Zhang Heng bring Ye Qing in, they opened their eyes and asked with delight, "Did you bring someone with you?"

Zhang Heng nodded and said, "And this is..."

After saying that, he looked at Ye Qing with a puzzled expression and asked, "By the way, brother, what's your name?"

Ye Qing's expression shifted, then he smiled and said, "My registered bounty hunter name is 'Deadly Mad Blade'."

After saying that, Ye Qing's face turned slightly red; he felt a little ashamed of the name.

The others didn't laugh at this, but were slightly stunned. One of the men stood up, cupped his hands, and said, "Then I'll call you Brother Mad Blade!"

The speaker was a peak Domain Lord expert, and to Ye Qing's surprise, he had absolutely no airs!

This is extremely rare in the Chaotic Star Sea, but Ye Qing could not let down his guard.

He looked at Wang Heng!

Wang Heng took a deep breath and then said to Ye Qing, "Brother Kuangdao, to be honest, my special ability is actually called Qi Observation!"

"Observing Qi?" Ye Qing looked at him curiously and asked, "What kind of property is that?"

Wang Heng smiled wryly, "It's a rare trait, but... it's not very useful in combat. It can only be used for tracking and identifying a person's aura!"

"I can discern a person's good or evil simply by observing their aura!" Wang Heng said, "In a place like the Chaotic Star Sea, it's extremely rare to have a kind heart. That's why I chose you from among the crowd, but back then you..."

At this point, he gave a bitter smile and said, "And I won't hide it from you, of these six, four of us are from the same place, but for some reason we encountered trouble, so we're just trying to survive in the Chaotic Star Sea. And these two are people I found by searching all over the place!"

Ye Qing was slightly surprised; he hadn't expected it to have such a characteristic.

If Wang Heng's statement is true, then it means that the people he found are all decent people.

However, Ye Qing always remembered Qi Ping'an's words: "Within the Chaotic Star Sea, do not trust anyone."

At this moment, Wang Heng looked at the man and said, "Brother, why don't you tell Brother Kuangdao the purpose of our trip?"

The expert at the peak of the Domain Lord level nodded, stood up, and with a flick of his right hand, a blueprint appeared in his hand.

He tossed the blueprints to Ye Qing, seemingly unconcerned that Ye Qing would snatch them. Ye Qing unfolded the blueprints, revealing a magnificent painting on the top, rendered in an ancient style.

The man at the peak of the Domain Lord realm spoke up, "Brother Kuangdao, you must have heard some legends about the Misty Forest?"

"Um..." Ye Qing shook his head and said, "I'm actually not very familiar with the Misty Forest!"

“Alright!” the peak domain lord expert said, “This Chaotic Star Sea originated in ancient times when someone tried to break free from the shackles, but was ultimately suppressed, causing the entire star system to collapse. There is even a theory that…”

"Hmm?" Ye Qing looked at him.

"The current state of the universe may have originated from a massive accident in the Chaotic Star Sea. For countless years, this world consisted only of heaven and earth, and a boundless continent. Later, the entire continent collapsed, forming the universe we know today," the man said. "Of course, these are all legends. But whether the Chaotic Star Sea is a legend or reality, it was the most central place in the universe for a period of time."

"And then?" Ye Qing asked.

"In this chaotic star sea, there exist many inheritances, many unknown inheritances, and many places that have remained unexplored for countless years!" the man said.

"And within this Misty Forest lies a place called Silent Hill!" The man pointed to the blueprint in Ye Qing's hand and said, "Silent Hill is the most dangerous place in the Chaotic Star Sea. It is said that a great emperor once entered it and perished there."

"That's why, for countless years, almost no one has dared to set foot in Silent Hill," the man said. "The entire universe, including the Sword God of the Chaotic Star Sea, may not even know anything about that place; everything inside is unknown."

"Some say that's where that supreme expert fell."

"Some say that it contains a power over the universe!"

"Some even say that one of the seven most powerful secrets in the universe is hidden there!"

“But…” the man said, “In any case, this place is unknown. It may be very dangerous, but it may also hold countless opportunities.”

At this point, the man continued, "And the blueprint you have... has been passed down in our family for countless ages. We were forced to come to this Chaotic Star Sea. In order to seek cultivation resources, we became bounty hunters. We accidentally discovered the location of Silent Hill, and it is almost exactly the same as our family's heirloom blueprint!"

Ye Qing looked at the blueprint, which had many annotations, some of which contained text that Ye Qing could not understand.

The man said, "Those markings indicate safe areas."

"To enter this place, you first need to activate an outer formation, which requires at least eight people to activate," the man said. "Only after the formation is activated will a safe passage be opened to enter."

"This is the place we want to go!" Wang Heng said. "We don't know what's inside. Perhaps there are endless opportunities inside, and we can all break through after entering. Or perhaps there are only endless dangers inside, and we might die immediately after entering!"

“But we have to give it a try. As for you, brother, it’s up to you to decide!” Wang Heng said. “In this chaotic star sea, it’s very difficult to find someone we can trust. If you refuse, I just hope you won’t expose us.”

After listening to their words, Ye Qing pondered for a moment.
