Warning! A hidden dragon has emerged!

Jiang Yao was incredibly clever; how could she not see the provocation in Lin Wanrou's eyes?

Her face instantly turned cold, and she said with a half-smile:

"President Lin, please have some self-respect. This is Hidden Dragon's private jet. You are not a member of Hidden Dragon. Do you believe I can have you thrown off right now?"

"Oh? So, members of the Hidden Dragon faction can stay on the plane?"

"That's right! Hidden Dragon members can not only stay on the plane, but also carry out missions with us."

The two women were locked in a fierce confrontation, leaving the surrounding crowd stunned.

Gu Changming, who was standing to the side, quietly gave Qin Quan a thumbs up.

Brother Quan, you're awesome!

He managed to win over both the boss's wife and Team Leader Liang at the same time.

They're playing both sides so confidently.

"Excuse me, on my way to the airport, I formally submitted an action application to Hidden Dragon through Dragon Science Academy, and my superiors have approved my joining Hidden Dragon to carry out this cleanup mission."

Lin Wanrou smiled and took out her phone to open the Hidden Dragon System.

Above it were the application materials and task information that she had just received.

On her way to the airport, she urgently contacted Hua Lao and applied to join Hidden Dragon through the official channels of Dragon Academy.

In less than ten minutes, Hidden Dragon headquarters approved her application, even faster than when Qin Quan joined.

"You've joined Hidden Dragon?"

Jiang Yao and Qin Quan were both stunned, their faces filled with shock.

They didn't receive any prior notice, and Lin Wanrou's application was approved?

Qin Quan felt utterly overwhelmed and inwardly groaned.

The saying goes, "Two tigers cannot share one mountain." If you put these two women together, once they start fighting, who can stop them?

Just thinking about how they bickered and argued endlessly gave him a headache.

Lin Wanrou proudly raised her chin and said in a very domineering manner:

[Remember the fastest online novel website: 20 ...

"Why can't I join the Hidden Dragon? Having connections in the court makes things easier. As a member of the Dragon Academy and possessing late-stage Qi Refining strength, I'm highly sought after wherever I go."

"Unlike you, you've practiced dual cultivation so many times, yet you're still stuck at the ninth-grade Grandmaster level. Aren't you ashamed?"

"you……"

Jiang Yao was speechless after being rebuked.

She opened her mouth, but found herself speechless.

If we let the two women keep arguing like this, they'll definitely start fighting.

Qin Quan quickly got up and stepped in to smooth things over.

"Both of you shut up! We're not going to the Southern Frontier for sightseeing; we're going to wipe out the Gu Poison Cult. It's a battle where people will die. Do you want to make a fool of yourselves?"

"snort!"

Jiang Yao and Lin Wanrou both snorted coldly, seemingly unwilling to submit to each other, yet neither dared to disobey Qin Quan.

After all, this little man is their experience point for leveling up, so he's very valuable.

Especially in public, you should give your man plenty of face.

They both turned their faces away at the same time, ignoring each other.

The cabin fell silent instantly.

Seeing this, Qin Quan secretly breathed a sigh of relief and quickly gave Gu Changming a wink.

"Notify the crew to take off immediately!"

……

It was evening.

The special plane arrived in southern Xinjiang.

It slowly landed at the temporary airport near the Ten Thousand Mountains.

Stepping into the heart of the Ten Thousand Mountains, the surrounding sounds of people are instantly swallowed up by the boundless greenery.

The towering peaks resemble raging waves, and the overlapping ridges look like a thousand troops arrayed in battle, creating a magnificent and awe-inspiring sight.

The buttress roots of the towering ancient banyan tree are deeply embedded in the black soil like writhing dragons, and the thick old vines are wrapped around the trunk like giant pythons, with the hanging roots forming a dense curtain.

Cover the sky.

The air was filled with the sweet, fishy smell of moss and decaying leaves, so damp you could wring water out of it. Every breath was chillingly cold, making your whole body tense.

The area is overgrown with vegetation, filled with the sounds of insects and the roars of beasts, yet danger lurks everywhere. It feels as if a deadly threat could strike at any moment.

As night deepened, a mountain breeze swept in, carrying damp, cold air that rustled the leaves.

The Hidden Dragon team members from both the north and south successfully reunited in the dense forest.

After Qin Quan briefly verified their identities with Xie Bi'an, the head of the Hidden Dragon in Southern Xinjiang, he immediately gathered everyone to deploy the attack plan.

"The Gu Poison Cult's lair is deep in the Ten Thousand Mountains. It's a hundred miles from here, but the terrain is complex and the mountain roads are rugged, so vehicles can't get in. We can only walk."

Xie Bi'an pointed to the dark mountains and forests ahead, his expression solemn.

He was a ninth-rank Grandmaster, in charge of the four provinces of southern Xinjiang, and had a deep-seated awe for the Ten Thousand Mountains.

Not only is the terrain treacherous and teeming with poisonous insects, but the dangers deep within the vast primeval forest also deter many martial artists from venturing there.

A slight misstep could lead to death in the mountains.

"It's alright, everyone here is a trained fighter. They can cover a hundred miles in two hours."

For this operation, Hidden Dragon gathered more than a hundred people, including three ninth-rank Grandmasters, six eighth-rank and seventh-rank Grandmasters, and the rest had a minimum cultivation level of third rank, making for a truly impressive lineup.

No matter how dangerous it is, we'll just push through it.

"Theoretically, that's true, but there are countless snakes, insects, rats, jackals, tigers, and leopards along the way. With our large numbers, we're likely to be attacked by a pack of wild animals."

Xie Bi'an frowned and hurriedly reminded him.

"To avoid the ominous creatures along the way and prevent unnecessary casualties, it's simply impossible to arrive within two hours."

Qin Quan looked around, glanced down at the smartwatch, and said in a deep voice:

"It's 10 PM now. I'll give you six hours. Meet at the outskirts of the Gu Poison Cult at 4 AM sharp. Is that acceptable?"

"Yes! Yes!"

Xie Bi'an nodded repeatedly, overjoyed, never expecting Qin Quan to be so understanding.

He simply explained his difficulties objectively, and the other party immediately allowed him an extra four hours to deal with any unexpected situations that might arise during the journey.

Little did they know, Qin Quan had his own plans.

A two-hour forced march could indeed get them there, but midnight was by no means the best time to attack.

Four o'clock in the morning is when people are most tired and most likely to fall into a deep sleep. Launching a surprise attack at this time can not only catch the opponent off guard, but also minimize casualties.

Meanwhile, at the headquarters of the Gu Poison Cult.

The flickering candlelight and the bright lamplight cast an eerie glow throughout the room.

Jin Hai and Liu Chuanwu stared at the two cups of ginseng tea on the table, which were covered with insect eggs. Their brows furrowed, and their stomachs churned. They didn't dare to take a single bite.

This thing is disgusting to look at.

"Master Huang, let's not beat around the bush. We two brothers have come all this way with no ill intentions, and we can even save you from your predicament."

Jin Hai cleared his throat and said in a pretentious tone.

"Save us?"

At the head of the table, an elderly man, less than 1.5 meters tall and as fat as a round ball, slowly spoke.

It was Huang Lüdeng, the leader of the Gu Poison Sect.

His face was eroded day and night by the poison, twisted and hideous.

His triangular eyes were full of malice.

"President Jin might as well make things clear. It seems that our Gu Poison Sect has not offended the Kaneshiro Martial Arts Alliance."

Jin Hai gave an awkward smile and tentatively asked:

"Master Huang must know what Qiu Qianren and his sister did in Jincheng, right?"

"How would I know what they did in Jincheng?"

Huang Lüdeng vehemently denied it.

The surrounding Gu Poison Sect elders, all with disheveled hair and tattered clothes, stared fiercely at Jin Hai and Liu Chuanwu, their eyes filled with undisguised murderous intent.

If either of them dares to say anything unpleasant, they will immediately release the Gu worms to control them.

They even killed people to silence them, turning their bones to dust.

"Don't look at me like that!"

Jin Hai was not afraid at all. His aura surged, and the pressure of a ninth-grade grandmaster directly approached the elders.

"President Liu and I came here as friends, not enemies. If you insist on treating us this way, then we might as well not reveal this information!"
