Moments after Xue Sha finished speaking, the computer in front of Ye Ling was hacked by Dark Night's hackers, gaining access to the backend.
“Emperor, Dark Night Rose serves you. Dark Night will be the sword in your hand, cutting down all thorns ahead!”
A magnetic yet incredibly chuunibyo female voice suddenly echoed in Ye Ling’s mind, causing his lips to twitch. He asked Xue Sha, “Xue Sha, what are you doing?”
Xue Sha said awkwardly, “Emperor, these Dark Night hackers have been watching too many Japanese anime lately, they’ve become a bit chuunibyo. Just bear with it a little.”
“You this…”
Ye Ling rubbed his temples, sighed softly, then steadied his mind. He transmitted to Dark Night Rose, “Can you see the program running on my computer? It’s connected to the local area network. Help me analyze its program package and find the terminal server address.”
“Emperor, please wait. Dark Night will pierce the darkness for you and guide…”
“Enough, give me something normal.”
Ye Ling couldn’t stand this style anymore and, with a headache, interrupted Dark Night Rose’s transmission.
However, despite their chuunibyo tendencies, the hackers from Dark Night were far beyond Ye Ling’s expectations in terms of skill.
Less than ten seconds after Ye Ling gave his command, the program that had hijacked the Sky Net surveillance on the computer screen was completely analyzed, and the upstream server was located.
Dark Night Rose’s voice sounded again, “Emperor, this server is not far from Long Dao Town. It seems to be temporarily set up. Do you need us to help hack into it and find the terminal?”
“You can speak normally now?”
Ye Ling quipped, then said, “If you have the ability to dig it out, then go ahead. But I’ll remind you, your opponent is Hong Chen Pavilion. Are you confident?”
“Hong Chen Pavilion? That’s a bit tricky, but not impossible to challenge. I’ll go gather all the Dark Night members now and tackle this difficult problem.”
“This will take some time. Emperor, please attend to other matters. We will contact you once there are results.”
“Understood.”
After finishing his communication with Dark Night Rose, Ye Ling looked at the map with red dots marked on the computer screen and transmitted to Xue Sha, “Xue Sha, protect those Dark Night hackers well. In today’s society, they are more useful than we imagine.”
“Okay, Emperor. I’ll watch over those little guys for you. By the way, Emperor, I’ve been playing an online game recently and created a guild called Mo Gong. Do you want to…”
“Scram.”
Ye Ling directly cut off communication with Xue Sha.
Among his ten divine weapons, Xue Sha, despite being a demonic blade, was the most fond of pleasure and was always unserious.
Ye Ling could foresee Xue Sha becoming addicted to online games after arriving on Earth.
With a slight sigh, Ye Ling dealt with the unconscious man in black and said to Zhang Xiaoxia, “Xiaoxia, let’s go find your grandmother.”
Zhang Xiaoxia was intently guarding the doorway, afraid someone might come.
Hearing Ye Ling’s words suddenly, she trembled first, then came back to her senses, “Okay, okay…”
Ye Ling smiled, grabbed Zhang Xiaoxia’s shoulder, and left with her.
The surveillance screens on the computer had all gone black.
…
Long Dao Town, northwest corner, a dilapidated courtyard.
Three third-rank异士 (Yishi) from Hong Chen Pavilion stood in the courtyard keeping watch. Another person was carrying an old woman out of a room, with another 异士 following them out.
“I really don’t understand what the higher-ups are doing… making such a big fuss. I thought they were going to capture Zhang Mingyu, the sect leader of Zheng Yi Sect, but they’re just capturing some old woman who can’t even lift a chicken!”
An 异士 in the courtyard saw his companion carrying out only a sleeping old woman and felt his spirit break. He grumbled, “Shh! How can we lowlifes guess the thoughts of the higher-ups?”
“Just do your job and get paid. Take this old woman out, and it’ll be a blessing if nothing major happens!” The nearby 异士 reminded the complaining one, then walked to the courtyard entrance and opened the wooden door.
“Let me scout…”
*Bang!*
As the 异士 poked his head out, he was kicked fiercely, rolling back into the courtyard and passing out.
“Who’s there!”
The other 异士, everyone in the courtyard, became tense. They all activated their cultivation techniques, staring intently at the main entrance.
Over there, Ye Ling and Zhang Xiaoxia walked in.
Seeing an 异士 carrying a sleeping grandmother on his back in the courtyard, Zhang Xiaoxia’s face immediately turned grim. She said sternly, “You guys, why did you abduct Grandma?”
The few 异士 exchanged glances. Then, two third-rank 异士 unhesitatingly charged towards Ye Ling and Zhang Xiaoxia, while the 异士 carrying the old woman and another quickly leaped onto the rooftop, preparing to escape with the person.
“Trying to escape?”
Ye Ling looked at the two 异士 who were carrying the old woman away, a hint of amusement flashing in his eyes. He instantly disappeared from his spot.
“Where did he go?”
The two 异士 who charged at Ye Ling and Zhang Xiaoxia saw Ye Ling vanish, their pupils contracting, their hearts trembling!
“Be careful!!!”
One 异士 reacted and shouted back.
Unfortunately, it was too late.
Ye Ling appeared in front of the two 异士 carrying the old woman, startling them greatly!
Ye Ling used his aura to blast the two 异士 away, and he steadily caught the old woman in mid-air.
Meanwhile, the two 异士 in the courtyard, distracted by Ye Ling’s teleportation, were quickly taken down by Zhang Xiaoxia.
Seeing Ye Ling land in the courtyard holding the old woman, Zhang Xiaoxia ignored the groaning 异士 on the ground and rushed forward to check, “Is Grandma okay?”
“She’s fine. She inhaled that special gas and is just sleeping.”
Ye Ling walked into the room, placed the old woman on the bed, and gently injected his spiritual energy into her.
A moment later, the old woman slowly opened her eyes, her cloudy gaze filled with confusion.
She slowly sat up, “Where am I…”
“Grandma, I’ve come to see you.” Zhang Xiaoxia, afraid of startling the old woman, quickly held her withered hand and comforted her softly.
Seeing Zhang Xiaoxia, a smile immediately appeared on the old woman’s face. She patted Zhang Xiaoxia’s hand and said, “So it’s Xiaoxia… this old woman just likes to forget things. I didn’t even know you were here!”
“No, Grandma, you’re just tired. I just arrived too.” Zhang Xiaoxia didn’t want the old woman to worry and didn’t mention what happened in the courtyard, smiling.
“Zhang Muya?”
Just then, Ye Ling’s voice rang out. The old woman’s eyes flickered slightly, then quickly returned to normal.
She looked at Ye Ling and asked, “Who is this young man…”
“Grandma, this is Master Ye. He is very powerful and a distinguished guest of our Zheng Yi Sect. He’s here to see you too.” Da Feng Novel Network
Zhang Xiaoxia didn’t understand why Ye Ling suddenly said “Zhang Muya,” but she didn’t know about the past secrets of the Zheng Yi Sect and didn’t dwell on it, introducing him to the old woman.
The old woman smiled, “So it’s Master Ye. Truly a good child.”
“Just call me Ye Ling.”
Ye Ling had previously searched the soul of the Heavenly Luo Ghost King and knew what Zhang Muya looked like in her youth.
Although this old woman was far from the young Zhang Muya, her features and temperament were very similar.
Coupled with the momentary change in the old woman’s expression that Ye Ling had just witnessed, he had already confirmed it in his heart. This old woman…
Was indeed the Heavenly Master of the Zheng Yi Sect a hundred years ago, the mother of Xu Shuya…
Zhang Muya!
