Chapter 77: Observation

Very moist…
Xie Lingyan’s heart was not as calm as her face.
She had allowed him to improvise, but who would have thought that this fellow would perform too “well”!
She had always been calm and gentle. However, many changes today, coupled with her junior brothers’ death, made her heart fluctuate.
“Miss Xie, are you really going to bring all the disciples of Qinghong Martial Arts School to Dragon Gate Pavilion?”
After collecting all the commander’s belongings, Lin Yan turned around and looked at the entrance of Qinghong Martial Arts School.
Just now, other than the disciples of Qinghong Martial Arts School, everyone had already quietly slipped away and disappeared.
The remaining disciples also struggled to hold on under Xie Lingyan’s command. They quickly packed up the gold and silver and prepared to set off. A trace of worry flashed between Xie Lingyan’s brows. “Master and Martial Uncle aren’t here. If we defend this place, we’ll just be fish on someone else’s chopping board.
“We might as well go to Dragon Gate Pavilion. With the two of them working together, there will always be more safety and opportunities.
“Don’t worry. I have a relationship with the daughter of the Dragon Gate Pavilion’s Pavilion Master, Pang Feiyan. I won’t easily expose your identity.” Only then did Lin Yan nod in satisfaction.
Right now, he was actually not worried that his strength would be discovered. After all, he had an excuse. At most, people would say that he was too lucky. He could always brush them off.
However, just now, the commander said that all the martial artists in Ding’an City had to eat the Heart Severing Pill.
It was obvious that someone wanted to control all the martial artists in Ding’an City through the Heart Severing Pill.
He couldn’t be spending such a huge sum of money for nothing, right?
It was very likely that he would use the poisonous pill to threaten martial artists when he arranged important and dangerous matters for them.
In such a situation, the stronger one was, the easier it was to attract attention.
Therefore, at this moment, it was best to hide his strength.
Xie Lingyan asked, “Did you find the antidote?”
Lin Yan shook his head and showed the things in his hand. “There’s only the Heart Severing Pill, two bottles of Ten Fragrances Soft Tendon Powder, a little silver, and a token.
” I’he other party is guarding against someone counterattacking and obtaining the antidote like us. By the way, do you recognize this token?”
Lin Yan picked out the token and handed it to Xie Lingyan. He stuffed everything else into his pockets.
Xie Lingyan: “…I’m not going to snatch it from you.”
Moreover, I seem to be the one who killed him, right?
She couldn’t be bothered to care about this. She took the token and flipped through it. There was the word “Spirit” written on it.
“I’ve never seen it before.” She returned the token to Lin Yan.
Lin Yan took it and placed it back into the commander’s corpse.
“You’re putting it back?”
“I’m afraid of getting into trouble.”
“Oh. How many antidotes do you have?”
“At most, it’s only enough for three to four people.” Lin Yan glanced behind her as the disciples of Qinghong Martial Arts School came out one after another.
“I know what you’re thinking, but these people are too weak. The only one at the Tough Realm is seriously injured.
“We need more combat strength. The Ten Fragrances Soft Tendon Powder is not fatal. The antidote can’t be used on them.”
Xie Lingyan was speechless for a moment and said gloomily, “That’s not what I meant.”
Lin Yan casually picked up the commander’s corpse and threw it aside. “Rather than detoxifying them, why don’t we equip them with the scale armor, weapons, and other items in Qinghong Martial Arts School? Miss Xie, I remember that there are Storm Plum Needles for sale in the school.” ’
Xie Lingyan sighed. “Yesterday, a big buyer came to our door and bought all four Storm Plum Needles. No matter who came, they know Qinghong Martial Arts School very well.”
Lin Yan’s expression under the mask became even more solemn. The other party was very prepared.
Therefore, they definitely knew Dragon Gate Pavilion and even the various factions in Ding’an City very well!
For now, he had to go to Dragon Gate Pavilion to take a look at the situation and save Xiaozhi first!
He stood up and carried the big iron hook. “Let’s go!”
Dragon Gate Pavilion was quite far from Qinghong Martial Arts School. If they brought so many poisoned people and injured people, they would definitely delay the journey. They would be very eye-catching.
Therefore, they first sent the injured to the nearby Yanping District to be resettled.
This was a quiet little house that Xie Lingyan had bought. She had wanted to use it to celebrate her master’s birthday, so she didn’t tell anyone. It was still considered safe.
Then, she ate a lot of precious medicine to recover her blood energy and stamina before speeding up with Lin Yan and rushing to Dragon Tiger Workshop.
Along the way, if the original atmosphere in Ding’an City was chaotic, the current atmosphere was pure killing intent!
The hooligans and beggars by the roadside could no longer be seen. They did not disappear, but they acutely sensed danger and hid.
There were a few times when they passed by some mansions, the two of them met a few people from afar, who were wearing stuff similar to the soldiers and commanders’ armor.
Fortunately, Lin Yan tore a large piece of black cloth halfway and wrapped it around the armor and iron hooks on his body. He also wrapped a thick layer around the beautiful Xie Lingyan, allowing them to survive.
Liu Family, Hong Family, Fu Wei Escort Agency, Qing Alliance…”
The more Xie Lingyan looked, the more shocked she became. These were all the few major factions in the entire Ding’an City, but now, there were actually soldiers surrounding them. contemporary romance
Xie Lingyan frowned. “The other party knows Ding’an City’s forces too well, but it’s unlikely that such a large amount of manpower and resources came from Ding’an City.”
Lin Yan’s heart had already sunk to the bottom. “At the same time, they haven’t killed anyone on a large scale. Instead, they want to control all the martial artists in Ding’an City through this pill called the Heart Severing Pill…
“What they’re plotting must be monstrous!”
The two of them looked at each other and could feel the uneasiness and powerlessness in each other’s hearts.
The entire Ding’an City seemed to be swallowed by an incomparably terrifying huge beast. It was like a piece of sweet candy that could be licked by anyone.
With just the two of them, even if there was Dragon Gate Pavilion, could they really cause any trouble in front of such a huge creature?
“Stop, we’re here.”
Lin Yan stuck to the corner of the wall and gestured. Xie Lingyan followed behind him and stuck her head out to check.
“As expected, something happened…”
Lin Yan’s brows were solemn. The door of Dragon Gate Pavilion opened, and five cold-looking soldiers stood guard at the door. It was silent.
At the foot of the steps, there were several corpses piled up. Some were unfamiliar soldiers, and some were from Dragon Gate Pavilion.
Blood flowed everywhere, and there were bloody footprints everywhere. They were all facing inwards, which meant that the people who had entered Dragon Gate Pavilion had yet to come out.
One of the corpses had white hair and withered skin. He lay in a pool of blood and died with remaining grievances. It was the gatekeeper of Dragon Gate Pavilion, Old Wen.
“Aren’t Dragon Gate Pavilion and Tiger Camp brothers…”
Lin Yan clenched his fists and slowly let go. The last trace of hope in his heart was shattered.
Xie Lingyan took two steps forward. “Let’s go. You have an important person inside, right? We’ll only know the situation after we sneak in and take a look.” Lin Yan reached out to pull her back and pointed at Tiger Camp diagonally opposite Dragon Gate Pavilion.
At the entrance of Tiger Camp, two to three soldiers were sitting and talking.
“Just now, among the soldiers of Qinghong Martial Arts School, there were people from Tiger Camp.
“The Tiger Camp’s camp is opposite Dragon Gate Pavilion. If we rashly enter
and alert the enemy, we will be easily surrounded.”
Lin Yan took a few deep breaths in a row. Even though he wished he could fly mto Dragon Gate Pavilion, he still forced himself to calm down. “1’11 probe the Tiger Camp first before entering Dragon Gate Pavilion!”
“Okay!”
Time was of the essence. The two of them quickly walked around half a circle and chose a hidden corner. They climbed up the wall of Tiger Camp and climbed onto the roof.
Looking down from above, Lin Yan heaved a sigh of relief. On the internal drill ground of Tiger Camp, there were only a few soldiers standing in twos and threes. It was very quiet inside, so it was obvious that there weren’t many people.
However, Xie Lingyan patted Lin Yan’s arm and pointed at the center of the
drill ground. She said softly and solemnly, “Look.”
Lin Yan’s gaze froze slightly. In the middle of the drill ground, a person wearing heavy armor was pacing left and right, reprimanding two huge strange people.
The heavy armor was quite similar to what Lin Yan was wearing now. Clearly, he was also a commander-level figure and was most likely a Tough Realm expert.
The two strange people opposite him were actually extremely similar to the huge strange person that Lin Yan had killed outside Qinghong Martial Arts School just now!
From afar, he could not see the appearances of the two strange people, but they had the same door-like body figure and the same thick and long hands and feet, as if they were carved from the same mold!
“Clone? Or what?!”
A hint of shock appeared in Lin Yan’s eyes.
Xie Lingyan was also very shocked. Her red lips parted slightly as she said in a low voice, “We can still resist a Tough Realm commander and two strange people close to the Tough Realm, but there must be another Tough Realm commander in the Dragon Gate Pavilion. Once there’s a commotion, the other party will return to reinforce them!”
Lin Yan’s expression was solemn. “Miss Xie, if you deal with that Tough Realm commander alone, can you defeat him? How long will it take?”
Xie Lingyan pondered for a moment, and a hint of helplessness appeared on her jade-hke face. “I don’t have the confidence to win. The other party is wearing strong iron armor. If I hadn’t ambushed him in advance just now, it would have been very difficult for me to kill him.”
“What if you wear armor?”
“Then I can probably have the advantage, but I still need at least fifteen minutes. Moreover, after the battle, I will be exhausted and won’t be able to fight for a short period of time.”
Lin Yan shook his head helplessly. If she would be exhausted, he wouldn’t be able to fight Tiger Camp first.
He looked around and suddenly narrowed his eyes.
He saw a two-story house on the right open slightly towards a window on the west side. It was dark inside. A head popped out and looked at the entrance of Dragon Gate Pavilion and Tiger Camp.
This person was actually… Pang Tong!
Lin Yan and the other man happened to be in a blind spot, so they could see him, but he couldn’t see them.
Xie Lingyan quickly noticed Lin Yan’s gaze and turned to look. “Pang Tong?”
“You know him?”
“He’s Feiyan’s cousin, Pavilion Master Pang Yinlong’s nephew.” As she spoke, Xie Lingyan’s originally gentle tone revealed a hint of disdain and frustration.
“Let’s go! Let’s ask him. Perhaps he knows what’s going on in Dragon Gate Pavilion!”
Xie Lingyan hesitated slightly.
Lin Yan said, “Miss Xie?”
“It’s fine. Let’s go..”
