Following Tang Qin's instructions, the group tracked them.
Half an hour later,
The blinking red dot on the tracker finally stopped. Ma Long glanced at it and exclaimed in surprise.
"Damn it! That kid actually went to Lingyue Mountain!"
The others were startled by the news, thinking Han Kang's guess had come true and that Sasu was going to Lingyue Mountain Villa to harm their families.
But when they all crowded around the tracker, they realized the red dot's position seemed to be inconsistent with Lingyue Mountain Villa's location.
Tang Qin, full of confusion, said,
"That's not right. There's only one road up to Lingyue Mountain Villa. This direction seems to be going the opposite way. Hey, Ma Long! How did you figure out that esper was going to Lingyue Mountain Villa?"
Tang Qin asked seriously, but Ma Long replied innocently.
"Big Sister, when did I ever say he was going to Lingyue Mountain Villa? This location is clearly on the back of Lingyue Mountain!"
Tang Qin said with a mournful expression, "Then why did you yell and scare me?"
Ma Long retorted indignantly.
"Alas, Big Sister! Has your brain now fallen behind mine? What does it mean that this esper stopped at Lingyue Mountain? The esper base is right here! Right under our noses! Isn't that enough to be surprising?"
Tang Qin was enlightened, "That's right! No matter how hard we rack our brains, we probably wouldn't have thought the esper base was here! I didn't expect it, Ma Long. You're quite useful sometimes!"
Ma Long was speechless and about to say something when Han Lang suddenly said sternly.
"Han Kang, Brother Ma, you two go ahead and find the entrance. Don't alert them. Wait until we catch up, and then we'll act together!"
"Okay!"
As Ma Long agreed, before he could finish, Tang Geng in the back seat immediately asked doubtfully.
"Hey, Han Lang! Are we going to act directly? But we have no idea what the situation is inside this base."
Tang Qin chimed in, "Yes! Should we try to scout it out first, and then get some support from the Special Investigation Bureau?"
Han Lang shook his head, "Speed is of the essence! Moreover, the tracker we implanted in that esper might be discovered. What if they notice and run away? We only have this one chance!"
"But, are we sure we can handle it with just a few of us?" Tang Geng was still a bit worried.
Han Lang replied without hesitation, "With just us, we represent the highest strength of the Leshi City Special Investigation Bureau. Even if we spend time getting support, what significant help can it provide besides giving the enemy more time to prepare? A direct surprise attack would be more effective!"
"But..."
Before Tang Qin and Tang Geng could say more, Han Kang's voice came through the earpiece.
"Don't worry, you two! With my brother here, we should be able to crush them in terms of strength. After all, cultivators in the late Foundation Establishment stage are no match for him!"
Cultivators in the late Foundation Establishment stage?
Everyone was stunned for a moment.
"Han Kang, are you kidding? Cultivators in the late Foundation Establishment stage, when using martial skills, are almost comparable to SS-class espers. Can Han Lang really handle them?" Tang Geng asked, shocked.
"Yes! Han Kang. Even if he's your brother, you don't have to brag about him like this, do you?" Tang Qin also expressed disbelief.
"I think it's possible! After all, my young master's 'Shen Nong Imperial Needle Technique' can only be cultivated on the foundation of Shen Nong Heavenly Doctor! A dignified medical cultivator cannot be judged by ordinary standards!" Ma Long chose to believe without any reason.
Before Tang Geng and Tang Qin could scoff at Ma Long, Han Kang followed up, "Brother Ma has good judgment. But I guess, even if I told the truth today, you wouldn't believe my brother has the strength to instantly kill a late Foundation Establishment stage cultivator. Brother, why don't you show them something? Otherwise, they'll look down on you!"
"Okay!" Han Lang nodded slightly.
Immediately after, a barely audible "swoosh" was heard, and Tang Geng suddenly cried out "Ah!" covering the back of his neck.
Hearing his cry, Tang Qin, instead of showing concern, said with displeasure, "What are you yelling about! I'm waiting for Han Lang to show off so I can expose Han Kang's bragging. Why are you yelling?"
Tang Geng, with an embarrassed smile, said, "It's nothing, nothing! Maybe it was a mosquito. Hey, Han Lang, hurry up and demonstrate!"
Han Lang's lips curved into a smile as he replied, "I already did! Didn't a mosquito bite you?"
Tang Geng and Tang Qin thought Han Lang was teasing them and complained repeatedly.
"Ah? What mosquito bite? Is this what you demonstrated?"
"Yes! If it's just this, then I'm afraid it might not pose much of a threat to a late Foundation Establishment stage cultivator!"
Seeing their triumphant expressions, Han Kang became anxious.
"No way, Brother! Haven't you demonstrated yet? Are you just letting them question you?"
Han Lang was speechless, "I've already demonstrated. But they don't believe it!"
He then said to Tang Geng again, "Tang Geng! Why don't you try circulating the martial artist's true qi within you before questioning me?"
Tang Geng still didn't believe it and immediately replied, "I'll circulate it! Am I afraid of you?"
Saying that, he was about to start circulating his qi.
However, at this moment, he felt that the martial artist's true qi within him was unusually sluggish. No matter how hard he tried, the qi circulation was not smooth.
Moreover, every time he tried to force his way through, the spot on the back of his neck where he was bitten by a mosquito would sting intensely.
Before he could wonder, Han Lang, as if guessing his thoughts, preemptively asked, "How is it? Is your qi circulation obstructed? Can you defeat Han Kang in your current state?"
Hearing Han Lang's teasing question, Tang Geng seemed to realize something and was greatly alarmed.
"You mean, you're the one who did this to me?"
Han Lang nodded, "Yes! Golden Needle Sealing Meridian, one of the moves in the first level of Shen Nong Imperial Needle Technique. How is it? Were you hit without realizing it?"
Tang Geng was even more surprised, "Damn it! You're too powerful! With just this needle, I, a Foundation Establishment stage martial artist, can't even defeat Han Kang, who is at the eleventh level of Qi Condensation, let alone Ma Long, who is at the ninth level of Qi Condensation!"
Tang Qin, not having experienced it firsthand, truly found it hard to believe.
"Is it that exaggerated? A mosquito bite can reduce your strength by several levels? Tang Geng, you're not cooperating with Han Lang to trick me, are you?"
"Tsk..." Tang Geng looked unhappy.
He ignored Tang Qin and said to Han Lang, "Brother Han Lang, I'm not the only one who doesn't believe you now! Hurry up and take out the golden needle from my neck, and then go poke whoever doesn't believe you!"
"Okay! No problem!"
Han Lang readily agreed. With a thought, a golden needle instantly flew out from Tang Geng's neck and hovered in front of Tang Qin.
Tang Qin looked astonished.
Just as Han Lang was about to make a move, she quickly stopped him, "Okay, okay! I'm most afraid of needles, don't poke me! I believe you, alright? Let's go straight for the kill now, we can't let Dr. Sim escape!"
Her instant capitulation made everyone burst into laughter.
