Chapter 106: Disguise and Infiltration
Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
Blood mist sprayed out, and the dead leaves on the ground were blown away, forming a huge fan-shaped empty area.
Xu Hongchang and the few men and women in black around him stood at the edge of this empty area, shrinking their necks and not saying a word.
In the dense forest, Xiao Changsheng’s begging and wailing sounded from time to time, making them reveal fear and reverence. At the same time, they subconsciously felt a little happy.
It turned out that the begging of a Tough Realm cultivator before death was no different from that of a normal person.
Xu Hongchang looked around. He could feel the people around him glancing at him from time to time.
However, he could not figure it out either. He could not believe that the empty area that extended dozens of feet under his feet was punched out by Senior Brother Lin just now.
It had only been a few months since they parted.
…..
Soon, the movements in the dense forest stopped abruptly, and everyone trembled.
Not long after, Lin Yan walked out calmly.
“Senior Brother Lin.” Xu Hongchang hurriedly went forward, and the few people behind him followed respectfully.
Lin Yan nodded. “Why are you here?”
Xu Hongchang smiled bitterly. “It’s a long story…”
Ever since that incident two months ago, the entire Ding’an City was in a state of panic. The situation was very bad.
After Xu Hongchang returned to Changqiu District, he encountered a gang war in less than seven days. His gang was completely disbanded and the gangsters fled.
Xu Hongchang, on the other hand, was lucky enough to survive. In order to make a living, he applied to a small escort agency in Huayue District called the Yue’s and became a bodyguard to earn some hard money.
Today, they had accepted the order. The chief escort personally led the team to deliver rice, noodles, and other supplies to the Void Fist Sect stationed in the Guangchuan Mountain Range. After delivering the supplies, he was stopped by these people on the way back and suffered a calamity.
Lin Yan pointed at the few yellow-robed and gray-robed disciples lying on the ground. “They’re from the Void Fist Sect. They’re thinking of a way to resolve the poison of the poisonous fog in the mountain, so they deliberately asked you to send rice, noodles, and supplies for free. They also captured you as subjects for experimentation.”
“So that’s the case!”
Everyone’s faces were filled with grief and indignation.
Lin Yan reached into his pocket, took out a cloth bag, and threw it to Xu Hongchang.
“Senior Brother Lin, this is…”
“I found it from that person. He said that it was the payment they originally gave you.”
Xu Hongchang opened it and took a look. The bright yellow gold shone on his face, making his heart beat faster.
It was indeed the money that had been taken away after the Chief Escort died.
“Senior Brother Lin, this…”
“Bring it back and split it. I’m staying in the mountains now. 1 don’t need it.”
Xu Hongchang’s expression changed. In the end, he bowed with tears in his eyes. “Thank you, Senior Brother Lin.”
“Just go back. The situation is chaotic now. Hoard more supplies and don’t run around if there’s nothing.”
After saying that, he turned around and was about to leave.
“Senior Brother Lin, please wait a moment!”
Xu Hongchang stopped Lin Yan and leaned closer to whisper, “Senior Brother Lin, you should be very familiar with Senior Sister Chen Yuan from the Dragon Yard, right?” “What’s wrong?”
Xu Hongchang said solemnly, “I saw her today. She’s inside the Guangchuan Mountains!”
Lin Yan’s eyes narrowed slightly as he subconsciously recalled the farewell outside the Chen residence that day. “She came in too?”
Xu Hongchang said in a deep voice, “I was passing by the camp of a large faction when 1 accidentally saw her. It was near the Void Fist Sect. Moreover…”
He recalled, “I feel that she didn’t stay there willingly, but was under house arrest.”
Lin Yan lowered his eyes slightly. “Near the Void Fist Sect… 1 understand. Let’s go.”
“Senior Brother Lin, you have to be careful. That faction is definitely not weaker than the Void Fist Sect. It’s said that there’s a Noble Realm martial master guarding it!”
“Let’s go back.”
As his figure flashed, Lin Yan disappeared at the end of the mountain path like a blurry shadow.
A trace of worry flashed in Xu Hongchang’s eyes. He did not know if it was good or bad to tell Senior Brother Lin this news.
Unknowingly, his pace became faster.
The green forests and mountains beside him were pulled into blurry gray-green lines, and he left them far behind.
After a detailed interrogation, he roughly outlined the layout of the various large factions near the poisonous fog from the mouth of the third personal disciple of the Void Fist Sect, Xiao Changsheng.
Due to the fact that the Green Fog Sea occupied a huge area, most of the forces in Ding’an City were stationed more than ten miles away from each other. They occupied areas with abundant water sources and geographical advantages and minded their own business.
Among them, there were a total of six factions with the greatest forces. Each faction had at least two Noble Realm martial masters guarding them.
The Void Fist Sect was one of the six. Moreover, it was connected to the Song family, another large faction among the six. They were in-laws and cooperated with each other. They were considered the strongest among all the nearby factions.
The camp beside the Void Fist Sect that Xu Hongchang was talking about was probably the Song family.
In other words, the Void Fist Sect and the Song family had at least four Noble Realm martial masters guarding them, or even more.
Lin Yan couldn’t help but recall the question he asked Xie Lingyan yesterday about how strong a Noble Realm martial master was.
“The noble in the Noble Realm carries the meaning of heroism.
“Those who enter the Noble Realm can break steel and strike iron, shatter gold and jade, and fight a thousand alone. They can be said to be human-shaped dragons or elephants.
“Compared to the Tough Realm, the greatest characteristic of the Noble Realm is not only that their strength has expanded to an inhuman level, but also that their force can leave their bodies and injure people from afar.”
The terrifying thing about the Noble Realm was that the force could leave the body. It was invisible and intangible. Compared to the Tough Realm, it was powerful to a whole new level.
“I wonder how big the gap between the current me and the Noble Realm is…”
Lin Yan suddenly stopped in his tracks. His sharp ears quickly captured the noisy and distant voices.
“I’m here. This should be the direction.”
Lin Yan walked slowly and hid in the dense forest, approaching step by step.
Soon, people could be seen. Two huge campsites that took up more than half of the valley appeared and stood side by side.
On the left, there were obviously more people, occupying three-quarters of the area. There were many tents, and the layout was neat. There were patrols walking back and forth outside.
There were fewer people on the right. They were all wearing green clothes, yellow robes, and gray robes. Clearly, this was the territory of the Void Fist Sect.
Lin Yan looked at the camp on the left. “Did the entire family move here?”
He even saw a group of children lucking shuttlecocks and fooling around.
The patrols coming and going were all wearing standard light leather armor. There was a Song character engraved on their chests, and the engraving was abnormally clear.
Senior Sister Chen had helped him a lot. If there was any danger, he had to save her.
Moreover, Senior Sister Chen might know what these large factions wanted to do. Perhaps she could provide him with some information.
He looked around.
Outside the camp on the left, there was a group of people dressed in black. They were waving their weapons and clearing the surrounding bushes wantonly. Clearly, they were trying to prevent anyone from approaching from the forest.
At this moment, a large area had been cleared. It was probably very difficult to sneak in silently.
On the other hand, the territory of the Void Fist Sect on the right was clearly much rougher and casual. The miscellaneous items inside were messy.
Although it was a little troublesome, it was clearly easier to infiltrate from the Void Fist Sect.
Lin Yan immediately circled around and hid in the bushes near the Void Fist Sect.
The disciples of the Empty Fist Sect had three levels.
After he waited for a moment, a gray-robed disciple bent his neck and crawled into the bushes, as if he wanted to relieve himself.
He had just unbuckled his belt when he suddenly felt a pain in his neck and fainted.
A moment later, Lin Yan, who was dressed in gray, slowly walked out.
Lin Yan had previously asked Xiao Changsheng why they were wearing three different colors.
The yellow-robed were official disciples, while the gray-robed were servant disciples.
The Void Fist Sect had the most servant disciples. Their status was low and they were not valued at all. They were also not easy to discover.
Lin Yan looked around and restrained his aura. 1 le lowered his head and walked into the Void Fist Sect camp with small steps..
