Fifteen minutes before Yang Chen and the others were attacked, outside the military courtyard of the Cai clan in Zhonghai, a tall and slender woman wearing a tight black leather jacket frowned impatiently. Her leather boots stepped on the bluestone floor, making crisp footsteps as she walked towards her home. This woman was Cai Ning.
Following closely behind Cai Ning was a handsome man in a suit and leather shoes. He had a flattering smile on his face and was constantly talking to her.
"Ning Er, I've already told my dad. He's coming to Zhonghai for a meeting next month. He'll meet Uncle Cai then. Our relationship will definitely be settled then."
Cai Ning stopped in her tracks. She couldn't help but turn around and glare at the man. "Yong Ye, how many times have I told you that I don't like you? Why can't you understand?"
This man was the leader of Second Dragon Group, Yong Ye. He wasn't angry at Cai Ning's words. Instead, he chuckled. "Ning Er, you've been learning martial arts in the Tang Sect since you were young. You've never had the chance to interact with men your age. Other than me, no one is good enough for you. You and I are a match made in heaven. Even if you can't see how good I am now, you'll know how considerate I am when we get married. "
Cai Ning looked at Yong Ye's confident expression. She was so angry that she laughed. "A match made in heaven? Who told you that? You can say it again and I'll stab you in the face with my Torrential Pear Blossom Needles. "
Yong Ye's face paled. Seeing Cai Ning's cold gaze, he cursed in his heart. Damn it. Which old bastard taught this woman that hidden weapon technique?! When I get her, I'll find a chance to cripple her hands. Let's see how she can threaten me then!
Although that was what he was thinking, Yong Ye didn't dare to show it. He continued to put on an innocent smile and said, "Okay, okay, I won't say anything. Anyway, we'll be done after a while."
Cai Ning didn't have any bad feelings towards this man who relied on his connections to become the leader of Second Dragon Group. However, Yong Ye's constant pestering over the past two years had really pissed her off.
On the other hand, in Yong Ye's eyes, ordinary women were like dung, not worth a single cent. No matter how beautiful they were, to him, they were not as attractive as the beauties of the Group of Eight.
Hence, he had fallen in love with Cai Ning in the beginning. Then, he pestered her relentlessly. Now, he treated Cai Ning as a form of revenge. The more he couldn't have her, the more he wanted her.
Cai Ning's disregard for him made Yong Ye's prideful heart want to give up. It was just that Cai Ning hadn't realized it yet.
The two of them arrived at the main hall of the Cai family's courtyard. The head of the Cai family, Cai Yuncheng, was drinking tea with Abbess Yun Miao and Daoist Yu Jizi, who had been staying here for a long time. At the same time, the other members of Second Dragon Group were waiting for their team leader, Yong Ye.
Seeing Yong Ye chasing Cai Ning into the house and Cai Ning's unhappy face, Cai Yuncheng sighed in his heart.
In his heart, he felt extremely guilty towards his eldest daughter. Although Choi Yeon had grown up independently, she had been placed by her parents' side. However, Cai Ning had been sent to the Tang Sect in Sichuan at the age of ten. She rarely returned home once a year. He and his wife had never had the chance to visit their daughter in the tightly guarded Tang Sect.
So, when Cai Ning returned from her studies, Cai Yuncheng and his wife tried to give her more love. However, their eldest daughter was skilled in Qinggong and could come and go without a trace. Moreover, she didn't need anyone to take care of her. She could handle everything and take care of her younger sister and family.
Therefore, finding a good in-laws for Cai Ning seemed to be the most worthwhile thing to do.
Although Yong Ye's parents were on the same level as the Cai family, they belonged to a top-notch aristocratic family in Beijing that the Cai family couldn't afford to offend. Even though Cai Yuncheng knew that Cai Ning didn't like Yong Ye, he had to remind her not to go overboard with him. After all, if Yong Ye's parents and the Cai family really didn't get along, the Cai family might not be able to handle it.
Therefore, Cai Ning had always been pestered by Yong Ye. Unless it was absolutely necessary, she wouldn't pay much attention to him.
Abbess Yun Miao knew about Yong Ye's pursuit of Cai Ning, but she didn't mince her words. She snorted coldly, "Yong Ye, practicing your martial arts is much more practical than chasing the Cai family's girl."
Yong Ye's face turned purple, but he didn't dare to say anything. He knew that among the Group of Eight, this old Daoist nun was the hardest to provoke. Moreover, this woman was of high seniority. Hearing her teasing, he could only force a smile.
"Daoist Yu Jizi, the general asked me to ask how Yang Lie's injuries are," Cai Ning said directly to Yu Jizi.
Yu Jizi stroked his beard. "Lie 'er's injuries have improved a lot, but he's still severely injured. He'll need another two to three days before he wakes up. He definitely won't be able to participate in the battle this time."
Cai Ning nodded. Just as she was about to inform her father and return to her room to rest, she suddenly felt a strange aura approaching from outside.
"Who is it?!"
Almost at the same time, Abbess Yun Miao and Yu Jizi stood up. Everyone only saw a flash before their eyes, and the two of them stood in front of the hall, facing the main entrance.
The Cai family's courtyard was brightly lit, and the entire courtyard was illuminated as if it was daytime.
Suddenly, the melodious sound of a flute came from outside the courtyard and entered everyone's ears. That indistinct melody was like a plant that had taken root and was about to sprout. It kept invading everyone's brain!
"Not good! Everyone, circulate your energy to resist! There's a trap! "
Yu Jizi shouted. Although it was easy to say, it was not something that everyone could do!
The members of Second Dragon Squad didn't have a high cultivation base, and the guards in the courtyard, including the general, Cai Yuncheng, were all ordinary soldiers. They knew some Body Hardening Techniques, but they didn't know any profound internal techniques!
Cai Ning frowned. She immediately put her hand on her father's back to defend against the sound waves and to prevent Cai Yuncheng from fainting.
Before the enemy even entered the courtyard, more than ten soldiers in the courtyard had already fallen to the ground, clutching their heads in pain. The members of Second Dragon Squad were also pale. Their leader, Yong Ye, who had been in high spirits earlier, now had a hideous expression on his face. It was obvious that he wasn't feeling well.
Only Abbess Yun Miao, Yu Jizi, and Cai Ning were able to focus on their surroundings, ready to face the enemy at any time.
"Hiss …"
Just as the sound of the flute gradually weakened, a huge, shiny black snake as thick as an adult's thigh slithered through the door!
"King Cobra?!"
Yu Jizi was able to identify the origin of the huge snake immediately.
"To be exact, it's the Divine Snake Naga."
A Chinese voice with a strong Indian accent came from outside the courtyard. Following that, a man in a black robe with his hair in braids stepped through the gate.
Behind the man was a burly man with yellow hair. The man's chest was exposed to the air, and it was bronze in color. He was expressionless, like the Vajra of ancient myths.
The last man who walked in held a small silver flute in his hand. He had long, dark golden hair, a hooked nose, and a sharp gaze like that of an eagle.
Yu Jizi and Abbess Yun Miao looked at each other, feeling that the situation wasn't good. The three people's dressing, accent, and skills were exactly the same as the legendary Indian guardian organization, Brahma!
If it was really them, didn't that mean that the sandstorm had already arrived in Zhonghai?!
The members of Yellow Flame Iron Brigade were still in the midst of their preparations, and many of them were still rushing over from other places.
Now, before everyone was in position, the enemy came knocking on their door. It was obvious that this was premeditated, and they wanted to catch Yellow Flame Iron Brigade off guard!
"Lin Zhiguo, that idiot. He even sent us the wrong information!" Abbess Yun Miao couldn't help but scold her husband.
However, they didn't have the time to think about what to do now.
The man with black braids seemed to be the leader of the three. He casually said to the man with golden hair and a hooked nose, "Garuda, let them sleep like the rest of the soldiers."
The man called Garuda seemed to have rested for a while. He nodded silently and started playing the silver flute again …
The flute didn't make any sound when it was played.
However, the Divine Snake Naga's two white eyes were instantly dyed scarlet!
"Hiss hiss!"
As it spat out its tongue, Divine Snake Naga shot up from the ground like a bolt of black lightning. It opened its bloody mouth and spat out a cloud of green poisonous fog towards Yun Miao and Yu Jizi!
