Chapter 76: Who is the Inner Hawk?

  The thunder had stopped, the heavy rain had ceased, and Li Mang, who had come out of Tianmen Mountain, quickly found Cheng Wei and others, but saw that they were searching for something everywhere. Apparently, the Crystal Dragon had been lost.

  "What a pity!" Li Mang said with his mouth, but for some reason, he was happy in his heart, with a sense of rejoicing at others' misfortune. Afterwards, he didn't pay attention to them anymore and planned to leave this place of trouble. The main purpose of the Chi You members coming to Tianmen Village this time was to kill him, although Cheng Qianbei had arrived, Li Mang felt that there was no need for him to meet with them, as the people from Chi You were so powerful, Cheng Wei and others might not be able to protect him, it's better for him to quietly leave.

  As for this task, it can be determined that the Crystal Wyrm is at fault, so there is no need to continue, even if we do, he won't be of any use. The value of the Crystal Wyrm is too high, and his strength is not worth looking at.

  However, thinking of the lovely flight attendant who gave him a 'window seat' when they parted ways, Li Mang felt it was necessary to go and bid her farewell.

  As expected, the window wasn't locked and even had a small gap that would make it easier for him to open and climb up.

  "You're back!" Several hours had passed, and Xiao Yixiang still hadn't slept. In the dim candlelight, a worried and surprised face could be seen.

  Li Meng's heart warmed up a bit, and his originally cold tone became somewhat gentle: "You're back."

  But just as Xiao Zhi Xiang was about to feel happy, he said: "I'm here to say goodbye."

  Her smile froze on her face, she didn't know how to speak for a moment, and her heart was filled with melancholy. Would they have another chance to meet again? They were people from two different worlds, and what happened that night was like a beautiful dream of a brief encounter.

  Under the influence of the devil, she suddenly said: "Can I ask you for a favor?"

  "Huh? What did you say?" Li Mang stopped his turning motion.

  "Me... may I ask you to pretend to be my boyfriend just once?" Xiaoyi Frost felt like she couldn't even hear her own voice.

  “……” Li Mang was taken aback, but at the same time he also remembered his mother's request, which was actually caused by him! After a moment of hesitation, he finally replied under the expectant gaze of the beautiful flight attendant: "Okay, but I can only come tomorrow afternoon."

  "Thank you, no problem." Xiaoyi instantly broke into a sweet smile.

  Leaving Xiaozhi's room, Li Mang quietly left Tiān Mén Shān and eventually found a deserted place to enter the Shan Hai Jing Zhao Yao Mountain, changed his clothes and began to interrogate and torture the hunchbacked old man.

  "Kill me!" This was the first sentence of the hunchbacked old man after he woke up, his whole body injured, and even his bones were broken. For him, it was better to die than to live.

  Li Meng ignored him and asked: "What should I call you?"

  The hunchbacked old man shouldn't have answered Li Meng's question, but being brought to this different space made him feel a certain kind of reverence, so he honestly said: "Others all call me the Hunchbacked Old Man."

  "Alright, hunchbacked old man." Li Meng found this title ridiculous, but didn't dwell on it too much and asked instead: "What kind of organization is Chi You?"

  "...The hunchbacked old man looked at Li Meng with a strange expression. At first, due to tension, he couldn't recall Li Meng's identity, but now he remembered that the young man in front of him was the target of this trip's assassination. A descendant of Yan and Huang, yet he doesn't recognize Chi You? This is laughable..."

  "Just give me a simple introduction!" Li Meng interrupted his thoughts.

  "As the name suggests, Yan Huang refers to the Flame Emperor and the Yellow Emperor, representing justice, while Chi You is a demon, representing darkness. The two super-powered organizations of Yan Huang and Chi You are the largest in Huaxia, and also two opposing forces......" The old man with a hump on his back spoke slowly, these were just common knowledge that everyone knew, nothing that couldn't be said, it was better to cooperate and seek comfort than to suffer under severe torture.

  "Which of the two is stronger and which is weaker?" Li Mang asked again.

  "In the past, Yan Huang was the only dominant force, but now everyone is increasingly valuing freedom. Its strict strategy has driven away many unruly ability holders, and now the two are evenly matched in strength. Of course, your Yan Huang's foundation is slightly better." The old man with a hump on his back replied thoughtfully, which was indeed the truth.

  Li Mang's heart turned cold upon hearing this, and he thought to himself that it was not good to have offended such an organization. He lowered his voice and asked: "Why do you want to kill me?"

  "...you killed our Gu Master A Zhuna, the organization will naturally find you to avenge." The old man with a hump on his back answered this time, obviously not very smoothly.

  Li Mang's eyes narrowed, and he asked with a hint of intention: "Is it just such a simple thing that Chi You would go to such great lengths to kill me? Not only did you search for me everywhere, but also sent Mo Ao, this master, to deal with me. Chi You is really overestimating me!"

  "Chi You has always been vengeful." The old man with a hump on his back spoke sternly.

  "Is that so?" Li Meng stared at the old face in front of him, and then said: "I heard that there are people from your side infiltrating Yan Huang!"

  "...I don't know!" The old man with a hunched back was normally a very mature person, and it wasn't easy to get him to talk. But the impact of the Shan Hai Jing space on him was too great, so he didn't behave normally, and inadvertently revealed his panic.

  "Hunchbacked old man, are you trying to make things difficult for me or for yourself?" Li Meng's voice suddenly became heavier, and at the same time, he drew out Huang Pin's dagger and wiped it casually with his clothes, the implication obvious.

  "...Just kill me then!" The old man with a hunched back closed his eyes resolutely, looking like he didn't care if he was boiled alive.

  Li Mang furrowed his brow, was he going to torture him with extreme punishment? This seemed too bloody, after some thought, he asked: "Really won't speak? If you do, I'll give you a way out."

  "I told you, will you let me go?" The old man with a hump on his back sneered in response. This Shan Hai Jing was undoubtedly a great secret, and Li Mang would never be able to let him out again. It could be said that from the moment Li Mang brought him in, he was destined to kill him to silence him.

  Li Meng was very calm, smiled lightly, and didn't answer. Instead, he asked inexplicably: "What do you think of this space? The spiritual energy is very dense, right? If one can cultivate in such an environment, won't their realm rapidly rise?"

  The hunchbacked old man suddenly opened his eyes wide, with a fiery spark deep in his eyeballs.

  Li Meng seemed oblivious and said to himself: "I'm still missing a handyman, I've been unable to find one for so long, what a pity!"

  "You... can really keep me here?" The hunchbacked old man finally couldn't maintain his calm demeanor any longer. This space in front of him was a paradise, a haven, and it had a fatal attraction to him. Let alone betray Chi You, let alone do chores, he would be willing to do anything as long as he could stay here. Besides, who wouldn't want to live?

  "It depends on your performance." Li Mang shrugged.

  The hunchbacked old man finally couldn't resist the temptation, and then he spoke freely, answering all questions, telling Li Meng everything he knew.

  "Chi You has planted a mole in the Yan Huang Institute, and it's said that his position is not low within Yan Huang. His codename is Nei Ying, which means he wants us to assassinate you during this mission..."

  Li Mang asked him many questions, focusing on the matter of Chi You's spy hiding in the Yan Huang courtyard, but unfortunately, the hunchbacked old man didn't know much, and in the end, he couldn't figure out a puzzling question: Who was Nei Ying?
