"What a remarkable person..."

Watching Qin Fang's departing figure, Captain Sun and his group finally came to their senses, muttering with some embarrassed expressions... When they first met Qin Fang, quite a few of them thought he was ordinary, quite self-important, but now they feel he is a remarkable and strange person.

The most crucial point was that Qin Fang hadn't stirred up any trouble, even though their words indeed were quite unpleasant...

"Stop overthinking, he has the demeanor of a master! Just doesn't stoop to our level..."

Captain Sun said with a bitter smile.

How could an elephant care about the provocations of some ants?

Qin Fang had no time to think about Captain Sun and those special forces warriors' thoughts; he had to reach the destination as fast as possible. Ning Yumo's situation was incredibly urgent now, and he couldn't afford any delay.

Ning Yumo was currently located in a small town called Zakha, which was very close to the border and situated in the Kunlun Mountains. It's a very secluded town with a sparse population, totaling only a few hundred people.

Few people know of the existence of such a town in these mountains, because the environment here is far too harsh for common people to survive. Only those native to this climate can live here peacefully.

Even those stationed troops on Mount Kunlun rarely come here, only occasionally lacking supplies will they come to replenish... But most often, the supplies are sent from the rear.

This is a small town at the farthest edge of the Dragon Country, and the native inhabitants' identities are highly unique; they may be the only natives with dual Dragon Country nationality... They're residents within the Dragon Country, yet most are from neighboring countries.

Hidden in the perilous, harsh Kunlun Mountains is this elusive town, existing for many years but only discovered in recent years... This happened when border troops were on duty, encountering a small accident, and some comrades slid down from the snow mountain, unwittingly leading to the discovery of this place.

However, the natives here are quite exclusive, befuddling the border troops... Yet, they don't disturb their lives, maintaining relatively balanced conditions.

But, when certain criminals discovered this, the town gradually became similar to a black market, turning into the largest black market in the Tibetan border area, where various forbidden transactions take place.

Among them, transactions of drugs and arms are not uncommon...

Furthermore, being close to the border, once the military is alerted, these smugglers escape immediately, making it hard to catch them red-handed... Naturally, it's even harder to capture them. After many attempts, the military seldom comes for sweeps anymore.

Once these smuggled forbidden items aim to enter the Dragon Country's mainland, they must detour, which is within military control... Only a very few can carry things across the blockade back to the inland, most are confiscated.

Gradually, this town somewhat "legally" exists...

This time, Ning Yumo's mission is to capture a large smuggling group, and her identity is the lover of a mainland big boss Black, already quite hidden. They've even grasped a considerable number of clues, just lacking the final catch of the criminals.

However, the situation drastically changed when the mercenary group entered, completely disrupting Ning Yumo's plan... Many smugglers were killed, and the police side suffered heavy losses too; the big boss Black that Ning Yumo followed also "sacrificed."

Now, these mercenaries control the town and all its people... Those who cooperate might survive, those who resist face immediate execution.

The relationship between Qin Fang and Ning Yumo is complex, just a thin layer of paper separates them. This means Qin Fang can't allow anything harmful to Ning Yumo to occur... Mercenaries are usually no good, capable of anything. Seeing a stunning beauty like Ning Yumo, Qin Fang doesn't believe these people would only look and not touch.

Currently, Ning Yumo is a master-level ninja, skilled in various ninjutsu, adept in stealth and disguise... This aids her survival in these harsh conditions for longer!

However, Qin Fang learned from two survivors... As more mercenaries arrive, their need for living spaces grows, already contemplating massacring all the townspeople.

Once someone issues this command, Ning Yumo would be truly in grave danger... Among these mercenaries are those as powerful as masters like Qin Fang, possibly even great grandmasters like Vincent.

Such opponents, by far, are beyond Ning Yumo, merely master-level, to contend with...

"Yu Mo, you must hold on..."

Qin Fang was racing across the Gobi Desert at a rapid pace, charging towards his destination with incredible speed. Even when facing the towering mountains whose peaks were almost out of sight, his resolve did not waver in the slightest.

Qin Fang's speed was extremely fast. He quickly crossed the desolate and vast Gobi Desert and set foot on Mount Kunlun...

The majestic and magnificent Mount Kunlun holds endless legends within the Dragon Country, and it appears in various mythological stories. However, the environment here is far from being the paradise described in mythological tales. Instead, it is filled with danger everywhere, and a slight misstep could lead to a place where even your bones wouldn't be found.

Yet Qin Fang didn't consider the dangers of Mount Kunlun to be of any concern. He continued to climb the Kunlun Mountain Range at a remarkable speed and was running rapidly towards his target. The temperature around him kept dropping, causing the sweat on his body to gradually cool down, turning icy cold.

Buzz~~~

With a slight maneuver of True Qi, Qin Fang's body emitted scorching heat, resisting the external cold. Although his thin clothing might have seemed too conspicuous, it didn't cause any trouble for Qin Fang.

Without the burden of heavy clothes, Qin Fang could run even more swiftly...

The Kunlun Mountain Range is enormously vast; humans barely make a ripple within it. Qin Fang was no different... In such a large area, he was the only one rapidly traveling through, without even a ghostly shadow in sight.

Not only were there no people to be seen, but even animals were seldom encountered... Instead, he unexpectedly discovered a few snow lotuses. Although their age was somewhat young, they were natural snow lotuses with considerable medicinal value.

Qin Fang didn't hesitate to pick them... Of course, he only did so in passing, not allowing a few snow lotuses to delay his journey.

The deeper he went into the Kunlun Mountain Range, the more chaotic it seemed. Except for the vast snow-capped mountains and layers of thick ice everywhere, there were hardly any plants to be seen, inducing a sense of endless loneliness.

The scenery here, however, was quite delightful, capable of making anyone who looked at it feel an openness in their hearts. Unfortunately, Qin Fang had no mood to admire the snowy mountain beauty. He poured all his attention into his journey.

"Huh~~~"

As Qin Fang delved deeper into the Kunlun Mountain Range and crossed one of the snowy mountains, he suddenly halted his steps and looked sharply in a certain direction, for he realized that something had locked its gaze on him.

As a Master Level Peak expert, his sense of danger was incredibly acute. When that strange feeling emerged, Qin Fang was momentarily startled... With his cultivation, only a spiritual beast could pose a threat to him.

Mount Kunlun is quite desolate, yet it is also a repository of treasures and an esteemed place, even being considered one of the birthplaces of Dragon Country's civilization...

Here, the relatively pure Heaven and Earth Spiritual Qi remains, allowing both martial artists and fierce beasts to evolve more rapidly. Naturally, the number of spiritual beasts on Mount Kunlun is slightly higher than outside!

Yet Qin Fang did not expect that shortly after entering the Kunlun Mountain Range, he would be targeted by a spiritual beast... Like humans, spiritual beasts can sense the strength of their enemies, and it seemed they regarded Qin Fang as a soft target.

"Nothing?"

Qin Fang suddenly turned around, looking towards the source of that mysterious power, only to find it empty, with no trace of a spiritual beast, leaving Qin Fang somewhat disappointed...

However, Qin Fang was busy with his journey and did not think much more of it, swiftly leaving the area.

After Qin Fang left, a white shadow emerged from behind a small stone not far behind him and pursued rapidly in the direction Qin Fang had vanished... It was incredibly fast, possibly even faster than Qin Fang!

While Qin Fang rushed ahead, his mini-map was fully activated, attempting to identify the identity and origin of the stalker behind him... But it didn't appear on Qin Fang's mini-map, so he had to think of other ways.

Soon, Qin Fang saw a large boulder blocking his path. A slight smile appeared on his face, and as he sped past the giant stone, he employed a small trick, instantly camouflaging himself behind it.

Currently, Qin Fang is a Grandmaster of Thousand Techniques. Some simple techniques, like Qianmen Illusion Technique, could be effortlessly performed... He didn't even need special props as catalysts.

And it was with this method that Qin Fang created an illusion to deceive the spiritual beast tracking him. (To be continued. If you enjoy this work, please visit Qidian (qidian.com) to vote for recommendations and monthly tickets. Your support is my greatest motivation.)
