Second, everyone started their journey early. Even at their current speed, it would take at least three nights to reach Dongyang City. Although everyone initially thought that using their movement techniques to travel was exhausting, after some time, they all realized that their skills had become much more refined, improving by several levels compared to before. Moreover, their Vital Energy had also advanced significantly. The only thing that pained them was that the precious stones they had hoarded for years were nearly depleted during this journey.
As they rushed forward, they were already close to Dongyang City after two hours. They were currently in the territory of the Azure Cloud Gang's Cloud Division, Azure Cloud City.
"Young Master Chen, ahead is Azure Cloud City. Eagle Young Master is right here; should we go take a look?" Xu Song said, looking at the city ahead.
"No need. Azure Cloud City is too close to Dongyang City; there are definitely spies from the Eastern Sun Gang inside the city. Therefore, we absolutely cannot go in," Xing Chen replied, his gaze flickering before he spoke slowly.
The territories of Azure Cloud City and Dongyang City were adjacent, and due to their proximity, the Eastern Sun Gang had been eyeing Azure Cloud City, hoping to take it over. However, because of gang regulations, if a Yang Po-level expert from the Eastern Sun Gang attacked Azure Cloud City, they could not retaliate. This was why Azure Cloud City had not been seized by the Eastern Sun Gang.
"It must be very dangerous for my senior brother here. At any moment, the Eastern Sun Gang might strike at Azure Cloud City. Even if the people from the Yang Spirit Realm of the Eastern Sun Gang do not act, it would still be impossible for a mere branch's strength to resist them," Xing Chen thought to himself. Although the Eastern Sun Gang was not as powerful as the Azure Cloud Gang, they still had three or four experts from the Yang Spirit Realm. If it weren't for the overwhelming strength of the Azure Cloud Gang forcing them to hold back, they would have likely sent experts from the Yang Spirit Realm to attack Azure Cloud City long ago.
"Young Master Chen, ahead is Dongyang City. What should we do when we get there?" Two hours later, Xu Song asked again. At this point, Dongyang City was already in sight, and for them from the Azure Cloud Gang, it was definitely a den of danger.
"Let's rest here for a moment; everyone should adjust their physical condition to its peak before entering the city," Xing Chen said slowly as he came to a stop, slightly out of breath. After traveling for such a long time, everyone's full strength could only be exerted at two or three tenths at most. If they encountered danger now, it would likely lead to certain death. Therefore, what mattered most now was not entering the city but rather adjusting their physical condition first.
"Everyone, ahead is Dongyang City. Once we enter, our lives will no longer be in our own hands; please prepare yourselves mentally in advance," Xing Chen said as he stood up and surveyed everyone.
"Young Master Chen, we understand. We are all mentally prepared for this entry into Dongyang City; please rest assured that we will not hold you back," everyone replied in unison.
"Well then, let's enter the city! Everyone doesn't need to worry too much; once inside, there's no need to be overly tense because we're not going to storm into the Eastern Sun Gang's Headquarters. We just need to monitor their movements; there shouldn't be any significant danger," Xing Chen nodded and continued speaking. However, despite his words, he understood that living safely on Eastern Sun Gang's territory was as unlikely as suddenly dropping Martial Arts skills.
"Wait a moment, Young Master Chen! Look over there... it seems like there are people from the Eastern Sun Gang," Zhou Fan suddenly called out to everyone and pointed towards a dense forest ahead.
Xing Chen paused and followed Zhou Fan's gaze; indeed, he saw dozens of figures moving in that direction. It would have been hard to notice them at night without careful observation.
"It seems like the Eastern Sun Gang is planning something big. Should we go check it out?" Tang Yuqi blinked her beautiful eyes and looked at everyone. Their mission was originally to monitor every move of the Eastern Sun Gang; under these circumstances, they indeed needed to follow up on it.
"We're too many; if we all go together, it would easily alert them," Xing Chen narrowed his eyes and then said to Zhou Fan: "Zhou Fan, you go scout out the situation; your Venomous Snake Five Steps technique is suitable for stealth and has a lower chance of being discovered."
"Yes, Young Master Chen." Zhou Fan nodded, and then his figure flickered and disappeared. The others only saw a silhouette moving in an irregular arc, quickly advancing forward.
"Looking at their direction, it seems they are heading to Azure Cloud City. Are they planning something against Cloud Division?" Xing Chen thought to himself as he glanced at the members of Eastern Sun Gang.
"Among these people, there are only five at the Soul Refinement Realm. Although one of them has reached the peak of Earth Soul Realm, we should still be able to take down this group together," Xing Chen said, turning to look at everyone, clearly ready to act at any moment.
"Young Master Chen, if that person is just at Earth Soul Realm, we can indeed annihilate them all. However, this person is at Earth Soul Realm Pinnacle; even if we can't defeat him, he can definitely escape," Xu Song frowned. Most of them were at the early stage of Human Soul Realm, with the strongest being only at Mid Stage of Human Soul Realm. Compared to an Earth Soul Realm Pinnacle expert, they were still lacking significantly!
"Although Earth Soul Realm Pinnacle is formidable, I can hold him off for a while. During that time, you all need to eliminate the others and then join me to deal with that Earth Soul Realm Pinnacle Rascal," Xing Chen said, casting a calm glance at Xu Song before continuing.
"With our strength, not only can we handle Earth Soul Realm opponents, but we also have a fighting chance against those who have just entered Soul Realm. However, the most important thing is that we cannot guarantee we can kill him," Xu Song acknowledged Xing Chen's reasoning but still felt concerned.
"You don't need to worry about that. As long as he enters my line of sight, I don't believe he can escape," Xing Chen raised his head, a glint flashing in his eyes.
"Young Master Chen, what exactly is your Eastern Sun Gang planning this time?" Tang Yuqi asked with a slight frown.
"If I'm not mistaken, they intend to gather forces to attack Cloud Division," Xing Chen's eyes glinted coldly. If it were just an attack on a branch, he might not care much. However, this branch was guarded by Qin Ying, who had always treated him well. Therefore, Xing Chen had no choice but to intervene this time.
"Attack Cloud Division? It seems that news was indeed correct. The former Helmsman of Cloud Division was indeed killed by someone from Eastern Sun Gang. What are they plotting?" Xu Song's expression grew serious as well. The repeated provocations from Eastern Sun Gang indicated that they no longer feared Azure Cloud Gang. The only possible reason for this situation was that Xu Shuo, the founder of Eastern Sun Gang who stirred up trouble in Sun Kingdom decades ago, had emerged from seclusion.
Xu Shuo had nearly defeated all the strong experts in Sun Kingdom decades ago. Although times had changed since then, his reputation had remained for decades; who would dare provoke him?
"It seems that it must be Xu Shuo who almost defeated the Imperial Ancestor who has come out of seclusion," everyone couldn't help but think.
"Stop overthinking it. If it really were Xu Shuo who came out of seclusion, Eastern Sun Gang would have already stormed into our Azure Cloud Gang Headquarters. It should be that Xu Shuo is about to emerge from seclusion soon; that's why everyone in Eastern Sun Gang is so lively," Xing Chen scanned everyone as if he knew what they were thinking.
"Young Master Chen is right. Moreover, our leader's strength may not be inferior to Xu Shuo's; after all, this is no longer his era," Xu Song said with renewed spirit. No one in Azure Cloud Gang knew exactly how strong Yun Qing was, but everyone knew one thing: since establishing Azure Cloud Gang, Yun Qing had never suffered a defeat and always managed to overcome opponents at critical moments. This earned him deep respect from everyone in Azure Cloud Gang.
"Young Master Chen, those people are going to deal with Cloud Division and have already set a trap for Eagle Young Master," Zhou Fan returned quickly and said breathlessly.
"What? What exactly is going on?" Xing Chen raised his head; in the darkness, his eyes seemed to shine with light as cold glimmers flickered within them. There were very few people in this world who truly cared for him, and Qin Ying was definitely one of them.
"I heard them talking, the Eastern Sun Gang is determined to take down Azure Cloud City this time. They have mobilized a whole faction, led by a Hall Master at the Soul Realm Pinnacle," Zhou Fan wiped the sweat from his forehead and said anxiously, "Moreover, a Vice Leader from the Cloud Division has betrayed us and has now become an undercover agent for the Eastern Sun Gang in that place. This person is a crucial part of the Eastern Sun Gang's plan."
"Damn it, let's go. Return to Azure Cloud City as fast as possible," Xing Chen said, punching a nearby tree with force, then gritted his teeth.
"Young Master Chen, shouldn't we deal with those people?" Xu Song couldn't help but speak up as he watched Xing Chen turn to leave.
"Don't worry about these small fries. We need to get to Azure Cloud City as quickly as possible," Xing Chen moved and instantly disappeared from the spot, while a voice slowly echoed.
...
"Young Master Chen, if we go in like this, we will definitely be discovered," Xu Song said, looking at Xing Chen, who was still moving rapidly outside Azure Cloud City.
"What can we do?" Xing Chen gradually stopped, took a deep breath to calm his emotions, and then spoke.
"Young Master Chen, why don't we ambush the Eastern Sun Gang disciples heading to Azure Cloud City for reinforcements here? Then we can disguise ourselves as them and infiltrate Azure Cloud City. At that time, we can directly undermine the Eastern Sun Gang's offensive from within," Xu Song suggested after pondering for a moment.
"That's the plan. When we arrived earlier, I saw a group heading this way. Among them are six people at the Soul Refinement Realm, with the strongest being at the Mid Stage of Earth Soul Realm. With our strength, we can definitely take them down," Xing Chen thought for a moment and decided to follow Xu Song's suggestion.
