Qin Lu led her people back toward the main gate of the Iron Blood Alliance.

The two sentries at the gate had been watching them from a distance.

These women were all beautiful, and they had their eyes on them, but these women were clearly not to be trifled with, so it was better to keep a low profile.

But seeing the group of women who had just been chased away return, the two sentries became annoyed.

They raised their guns and shouted, "Halt! Didn't we say this is no longer military territory!"

Qin Lu didn't stop. She continued walking forward without changing her pace.

The sentry panicked, his finger on the trigger, but before he could pull it, his vision blurred and the gun in his hand was taken away.

Xiao Yan appeared before them at some point, holding a gun in each hand with the muzzles pointing downwards. She smiled and said, "Don't be nervous. Our eldest sister has a bad temper; pointing randomly could cause trouble."

The two sentries turned pale and their legs went weak... Sure enough, these people were not to be trifled with.

Qin Lu walked through them and entered the camp.

The scene at the entrance was witnessed by the sentry, and the alarm suddenly went off, causing an uproar in the camp.

Some people rushed out of the house, some climbed onto the fortifications, and some blew whistles to call for help.

Before long, a dense crowd of people, numbering at least two or three thousand, surrounded Qin Lu.

Swords, spears, clubs, and supernatural beams of light were all aimed at her.

The more than two thousand girls outside the door were not to be outdone, and they rushed in to confront the other side head-on.

Qin Lu stood in the middle of the crowd, seemingly oblivious to the weapons pointed at her. Her gaze calmly swept over the tense faces before finally settling on a man walking out of a large house directly in front of her.

The man was in his forties, with a fleshy face and an open chest revealing a patch of dark blue tattoos.

He was followed by a dozen or so men who didn't look like good guys, making quite a show of it.

"Hey, where did this little wench come from? Daring to trespass on your Iron Lord's territory?" The man walked up to Qin Lu, sizing her up with undisguised lewdness in his eyes. "You're quite pretty. What, trying to curry favor with your Iron Lord?"

The henchmen behind him burst into laughter; some whistled, some started making noise, and some began to move forward.

Qin Lu didn't laugh. She looked at the man and asked calmly, "You're the boss here?"

The man puffed out his chest: "Not bad, you, Iron Boss, are the boss here. Little girl, if you want..."

He didn't finish speaking. Qin Lu moved.

No one saw how she moved; they only heard a sharp "snap," and the man's head snapped to one side, two bloody teeth flying out of his mouth.

He spun around on the spot, and before he could regain his balance, he was kicked in the back of the knee and fell to his knees with a thud.

The laughter stopped abruptly.

The man reacted quickly, sprang to his feet, drew his long sword from his waist, and slashed at Qin Lu again.

Qin Lu stood still, waiting for the blade to approach before suddenly raising her long leg and unleashing a whip kick.

The man was sent flying seven or eight meters away, crashing to the ground and rolling twice.

Before he could even get up, Qin Lu had already taken two steps and stomped hard on his chest.

"Pfft—" The man spat out a mouthful of blood, which splattered onto the snow, its red color glaringly bright.

The henchmen around him stood with their mouths agape and weapons raised, but they were all frozen in place, as if they had been struck on pressure points.

They were all stunned by Qin Lu's bold move.

Qin Lu looked down at the man at her feet, her military-style hard-soled boots pressing down on his chest, slowly grinding against him.

"Are you convinced?"

The man covered his face, his mouth full of blood, staring at her with wide eyes. His eyes held terror, and a hint of bewilderment as if he hadn't quite grasped what was happening.

He nodded with difficulty, the voice escaping from his throat: "I...I give up."

"Listen up." Qin Lu's voice wasn't loud, but every word clearly hit everyone present. "I'll only say this once. From now on, this area is under my control. You and your men either work for me, or you die."

She paused, her gaze sweeping over the stunned underlings, "Choose one."

The man opened his mouth, meeting Qin Lu's emotionless eyes. There was no anger, no disgust, not even contempt in those eyes, only a pure, cold indifference devoid of any feeling.

He suddenly realized that this person wasn't trying to scare him.

She was simply stating a fact. If he dared to utter a single "no," his head would be severed from his neck in the next instant.

"I...I'll work for you." His voice was hoarse, but more determined than before.

Seeing that their leader had backed down, the other underlings nodded hurriedly and shouted, "We are willing to submit!"

Qin Lu glanced at him, released her foot, and kicked his leg: "Get up."

The man clutched his chest with one hand and used the other to support himself on the ground, slowly standing up.

When he got up, the pain aggravated his injury, causing him to grimace in pain, but he dared not utter a sound.

"What's your name?"

"My name is Tieming."

Qin Lu nodded: "Is there a place here to discuss matters?"

"Yes," Tie Ming quickly replied, pointing to a building not far away: "That's it."

"Lead the way. Tell me everything that happened in Xingcheng, from beginning to end."

"Yes, yes!" Tie Ming bowed and limped ahead, leading the way with a humble posture.

Xiao Yan darted over from the side, grabbed Qin Lu's arm, and exclaimed with sparkling eyes, "Sister Lu, you're so cool! You beat this guy into submission without even using your superpowers!"

Qin Lu rolled her eyes at her: "The best way to deal with this kind of person is to use a brutal, visceral blow; that's the most effective way to intimidate them."

Xiao Yan reached out and pinched Qin Lu's long legs, her eyes full of envy: "Sister Lu, your strength is just too explosive after your talent reached SS level!"

Qin Lu slapped her hand away: "You want to experience it?"

Xiao Yan quickly waved her hands, shaking her head vigorously like a rattle-drum: "No, no!"

When Tie Ming, who was walking in front, heard the words "SS-level", he froze.

He glanced back at Qin Lu, then quickly turned back, his mind reeling—SS-rank? And she hasn't even used her powers yet?

He suddenly felt the pain in his chest lessen. The other person had shown mercy. If they had really used their powers, he probably wouldn't even be left with ashes.

He shrank his neck, bent his waist even lower, and obediently led the way, not daring to have any other thoughts.

Behind her, Ye Qingyu, along with the other girls, began to take full control of the defense mission.

In less than half an hour, the Iron Blood Alliance's original defense system was completely dismantled.

The former underlings huddled in a corner, watching the group of girls bustling around, their expressions a mix of emotions.

They were dismayed to discover that these seemingly delicate girls were all incredibly fierce when they got into a fight.

Just now, a guy who was defiant and wanted to cause trouble was picked up by a girl who looked to be less than half his weight and thrown out of the camp gate like trash.

The man fell to the ground and couldn't get up for a long time. From then on, no one dared to utter a sound.
