Chapter 290 CHAPTER 289: The Trial-5

"Yes, I have it. But, before we come to the proper business. Have some tea. You are a guest to me, after all." The man said with a smile. "Oh, you might have already learned about my name. But let me introduce myself first. I'm called Ning Ji. What is yours? "

"Joey," Joey responded. But he still didn't mind drinking the tea before him.

Seeing that, Ning Ji frowned and said, "If you don't accept my tea, then our business is done here. "

Joey picked up the teacup and sniffed twice as if checking the tea in it.

"Don't worry. I'm not someone to poison my guest. And I'm an honest businessman, after all." Ning Ji assured him, giving him a friendly smile.

Joey gulped and emptied it down in one shot. "Now, can we start? Tell me now, what do you need in exchange for the black dragon key?" he asked, without beating around the bush.

"Alright, alright, I need five tier-9 Soul Restoring pills..." Ning Ji replied with a smile, narrowing his eyes.

"Okay." Joey took out five red color pills from inside his space ring and placed them on the table.

"It's good that you come here with preparation. But I'm not done speaking yet. In addition to these pills, I need you to do a job for me." Ning Ji said.

"Alright, tell me. What is it?" Joey replied.

Ning Ji took out a picture and passed it to Joey.

It stunned Joey to see the picture of a lady with a boy and a toddler on the back of the lady. "Who are they to you?" He asked in a shivering tone while looking at the picture.

"They are my family. I lost contact with them a long time ago. I know your Secret Dragon Society is really efficient in searching and dealing with such jobs. Can you do it?" Ning Ji said, with a pleading look in his eyes.

"Fine, we will take this job," Joey responded.

Ning Ji threw a black thing at him. "That is one half of the key. I will give you the other half when you give me the information."

Joey caught it in the air. He then put it inside his space ring, along with the picture. "I will keep this picture for now. It will make it easier for us to find them." He said and disappeared from inside the house.

"Wait," Ning Ji said. But Joey had already left the house. He then muttered to himself, "What is wrong with him? After he saw the picture, he didn't even look at me again. Fine, let me hope that this time the Secret Dragon Society could find them. What really happened to them?" He then made a long sigh.

Joey reappeared outside the house and said, "We are leaving now."

"Do you get it?" Chun Churan asked.

"Yes, let's leave this place quickly," Joey said and disappeared from that place.

"Alright, everyone, let's go back." Chun Churan spoke and the next moment, the twin brothers and the Baldy Cao also disappeared from that place. Leaving only her in that spot. "What is wrong with him? He seemed a bit off after he came out of the house. And I have never seen him like this before, other than the time of him talking about his mother and little sister. Does something happen to him inside this house?" she wondered, puzzled. And she also disappeared from that place.

After that, the five met outside the city gate and began to travel back to their headquarters in the flying carriage.

The next day, when the flying carriage was flying back toward their headquarters, something hit their carriage really hard, making a deafening sound, shaking all of them inside it.

Bang!

The flying carriage moved back and crashed on the ground.

The next instant, they came out of the carriage all at once. They saw a handsome man sitting on the back of a winged leopard, standing high above in the air. He had a red crow tattoo on his forehead."Ho ho ho, the Secret Dragon Society beat us this time, too. I have only one warning for you all. Surrender and offer the black dragon key to me. Otherwise, I will kill all of you, Halfling dragons." He said, "Damn it. If you were all veritable dragons, then I would have killed you all at first sight. I pity you all, as you still have human blood still running course through your veins."

Seeing him riding on the back of the winged leopard, the eyes of Joey suddenly turned red and shouted, "A beast tamer?!" The next instant Joey appeared beside him and slashed his sword at him.

Clank! (Sound of swords meeting each other)

"Boy, do you wanna die?" The man with the red crow tattoo on his forehead spoke in a lazy voice. He then pushed Joey down from the air.

Joey used a movement skill and made a step into the air and appeared before the man. He then hacked over his head.

The man standing on the back of the winged leopard frowned and said, "If you wish to die that much, then I will kill you." "Wind-Sword fusion strike!" He then infused his essence qi and struck at Joey.

The essence qi sent out from their swords met in the air.

Bang!

The man had a much stronger essence qi than that of Joey. So his strike dissolved the essence qi energy outburst from Joey, cutting him on his chest.

Joey felt over on the ground, making a small pit around him from the remnant of the energy.

"Hmm, it will take 100 more years for a kid like you to challenge me. For your reckless actions just now, I change my mind. You can die now." The man with the red crow tattoo disappeared and reappeared on the ground. He then stabbed his long sword, aiming at Joey's heart.

Chun Churan also appeared alongside Joey at the same and deflected the sword using her long sword.
