Chapter 2324 - 1818: Qingyi Iron Guard

First update, asking for subscriptions and monthly tickets~~~~...

"Finally out..."

Qin Fang couldn't help but sigh... On this journey, they had truly experienced life and death, overcoming countless hardships to make it out alive. Only they truly understood the difficulties they went through.

"I don't know where this place is... I hope we haven't gone too far!"

At this moment, they were standing in the mountains, surrounded by endless mountain ranges, lush and green, making it impossible to see anything, let alone determine their current position.

Of course, it's not completely hopeless.

Qin Fang took out the phone from the Props Box, opened the navigation app inside, and was able to search and locate...

"The distance to Danxia Mountain isn't far... just a few kilometers in that direction!"

With the help of the navigation, the position became quite clear. Although there were no roads shown nearby, having a direction was sufficient. For experts with immense power like them, the path was one they made themselves.

"Let's go, let's not delay anymore, let's leave here immediately..."

Having a direction, Qin Fang and the others didn't need to worry about wandering blindly in the mountains anymore, and quickly headed towards Danxia Mountain.

The four of them were very powerful experts, and once their speed fully ramped up, it was absolutely terrifying... In almost the blink of an eye, they could soar forward tens of meters, and in another blink, they'd be hundreds of meters away.

Song Yi and the others were more forceful, as their Protective Gang Qi rose up, completely ignoring any obstacles ahead, forcibly clearing a path...

Song Yi's Protective Gang Qi was already quite solid, leading the charge, while Jiang Rui and Li Qun had just condensed theirs, still somewhat unstable, but after all, it was Protective Gang Qi, however fragile, it had its limits.

At least on this path, the only hindrance was the dense forest with branches, weeds, and other vegetation that would scratch and cut. But these were just ordinary damage, unable to penetrate the Protective Gang Qi, even Jiang Rui and Li Qun's fragile Protective Gang Qi.

Although Qin Fang didn't have Protective Gang Qi to protect him, his physical defense had become incredibly strong, perhaps slightly inferior to Protective Gang Qi, but not by much... How could mere branches possibly harm him?

Covering a distance of less than ten kilometers, even with added distance from the mountain roads, didn't cost them much time... They could already see the mercenary camp stationed there.

However, most of these mercenaries had already entered the underground palace, and it's estimated that the majority wouldn't come out, forever silent within... but there were still quite a few left outside.

Moreover... Qin Fang noticed many experts with formidable strength.

Qin Fang and the others didn't approach the camp but observed from afar, maintaining a relatively safe distance... Anyone who wasn't an expert of their level couldn't discover their presence.

"Hmm, the Six Major Families still have so many experts?"

Qin Fang was surprised, looking at Song Yi and the others. He hadn't noticed them before, seemingly they'd followed from behind.

"Those guys... Qingyi Iron Guard of The Green Gang! Hiss~~~ Why did they come here?"

Song Yi and the others were also curious, carefully observing before identifying their identities, their expressions involuntarily changing.

"Qingyi Iron Guard? The Gang Leader's personal guard from The Green Gang? Why are they here..."

Qin Fang was filled with questions. These people were directly under the Gang Leader's private guard, yet now appeared here. Could it be that puppet Gang Leader had come over?

But was this possible?

Ever since The Green Gang's power fell into the hands of the Six Elders, the Gang Leader has mostly been a spiritual leader, unable to muster much actual force.

Even the control over this private guard, Qingyi Iron Guard, seems to no longer be in his hands...

However, the Six Elders haven't completely captured the control of the Qingyi Iron Guard either. This squad, deemed the strongest in The Green Gang, maintains a strong independence, with both the Six Elders and Gang Leader desiring it but never succeeding.

Just that now, such a squad appearing here seemed somewhat unusual.

"Young Master Qin... something might have happened!"

Song Yi and the others naturally thought of this point, and couldn't help but say it immediately.

Involving Qingyi Iron Guard, the third-generation disciples, like Chen Lin and others, did indeed propose it to their elders, but the Six Major Families didn't want the Qingyi Iron Guard involved, thus rejecting it.

But now, the Qingyi Iron Guard suddenly appeared here, which definitely indicates a problem...

The strength of the Qingyi Iron Guard is terrifying; it's the most formidable combat force of The Green Gang, even stronger than the Hand of the Demon's core squad...

Although not a single person in this squad has reached Great Grandmaster Level, and the squad leader is merely at Grandmaster Peak, the combat power they can unleash is feared even by Grandmaster-level Peak Experts!

This is a squad proficient in Combined Strike Battle Formation, where almost any two people can easily form a pair, three can merge into a small formation, four, five... they can create a Combined Strike Battle Formation, instantly multiplying attack and defense tens of times.

When the number reaches nine or more, the power of the combined strike battle formation grows exponentially, capable of annihilating anyone below the Supreme Realm... this is the terror of such a Qingyi Iron Guard.

Of course, while the attack power of the Qingyi Iron Guard is sharp, it's not entirely without hope... at least cultivating so many Qingyi Iron Guards almost exhausted most of The Green Gang's resources, and their number is rather limited, only thirty people.

"More than ten people from the Qingyi Iron Guard... I'm estimating about fifteen!"

Qin Fang took a rough glance over at the camp. Although he couldn't be certain there weren't any escaped fishes, the approximate number could still be discerned...

"Tss~~~ They want to trap us all in one fell swoop!"

Hearing that number, Song Yi and others' faces turned extremely ugly, saying hatefully.

Fifteen or sixteen Qingyi Iron Guards, already half of their overall strength, with such power they could annihilate all below Supreme Realm, even the six Great Grandmaster Experts from the Six Major Families and Vincent, the deputy leader of the Hand of the Demon, stand no chance.

"Who ordered them to do this?"

Yet, the more it seems so, the more Song Yi and the others feel there's a mastermind behind controlling the situation.

Young ones like Chen Lin couldn't possibly mobilize the Qingyi Iron Guard on their own, unless the older generation collectively agreed, they could only request the Qingyi Iron Guard's assistance, not command!

But now, without invitation, the Qingyi Iron Guard arrived, and with so many, without sight of Chen Lin and others, it's certainly problematic...

"Why don't we go in and investigate...?"

Qin Fang didn't care about the lives of Chen Lin and others; he'd rather they were all wiped out by the Qingyi Iron Guard, saving him from having to do it himself...

The problem is, the purpose of these Qingyi Iron Guards seems not entirely pure, causing even Qin Fang to feel slightly displeased...

Moreover, his squad, led by Charlie, was sent away by Qin Fang early on, either leaving this place of trouble or returning to the camp.

These Qingyi Iron Guards are very likely to target Charlie's squad, which could cost Qin Fang dearly...

Regardless of the purpose, Qin Fang felt he couldn't stand by, immediately leading Song Yi and three Great Grandmaster-level Experts into that camp... The Qingyi Iron Guard is formidable, yet Qin Fang doesn't necessarily fear them.

"Enemy attack..."

It's undeniable, the Qingyi Iron Guard's alertness is high. Qin Fang and the others had just crossed the alert line, and they were instantly noticed, with over ten experts in green attire swiftly closing in from various places in the camp.

The Qingyi Iron Guard moved incredibly fast, almost in the blink of an eye surrounding the invading Qin Fang and others...

"Cao Yuan, it's you..."

As they closed in, Song Yi immediately recognized a familiar face, his expression turned extremely dark, speaking with disbelief, "You actually stepped into the Great Grandmaster Level..."

"Song Yi... hahaha, didn't expect you're still alive... that's truly unexpected!"

Cao Yuan, a man in his forties, had reached Great Grandmaster Level in cultivation, his strength much more formidable than Song Yi and the other two... his days of advancement clearly not short.

However, from Song Yi's reaction, it seemed Cao Yuan hadn't previously stepped into Great Grandmaster Level... at least from Song Yi and others' perspective.

But, according to Qin Fang's observations, this Cao Yuan probably hid his true strength before...

Now, Cao Yuan leading experts from the Qingyi Iron Guard to strike, the underlying intrigue can be simply deduced!

"What a pity, what a pity..."

Cao Yuan seemed unaffected by Song Yi and the others' reactions, murmuring regretfully,

"Had you three stepped into Great Grandmaster Level before this, perhaps I would have feared you somewhat, but now... tut tut tut, likely those old folks have already died inside! Without anyone aiding you, I want to see how you three escape my grasp!!!"

Qin Fang looked at these people peculiarly, especially Cao Yuan, wanting to remind this guy... don't ignore his presence! Despite Qin Fang's young age...(To be continued.
