566: Chapter 566 Fan Hu Dies!

Half an hour later, the group arrived in front of a Sect.

It was a majestic mountain gate, towering into the clouds with a magnificent Aura.

Below the mountain gate was a long flight of green stone steps, stretching from the foot of the mountain all the way to the gate, numbering hundreds of steps.

On both sides of the steps, lush spirit bamboo was planted, swaying with the wind and making a rustling sound.

The air was filled with a faint scent of bamboo, which was refreshing to the mind and spirit.

Above the mountain gate hung a huge plaque with three large characters written on it: "Qingyun Sect."

"Miss Waner, we have reached our destination."

After Qin Yan finished speaking, he deactivated the Yimu Longevity Shield around Nangong Waner.

The emerald green light slowly dissipated, turning into specks of True Qi that merged into Qin Yan's palm.

"Thank you three for the escort, Waner is deeply grateful."

Nangong Waner thanked the three escorts, but her gaze remained on Qin Yan, her expression complex.

In those clear eyes, there was gratitude, reluctance, and a trace of an indescribable emotion.

After experiencing the incident with Old Monster Canglang, she had tried to talk to him along the way.

But every time, he would only give a faint response and say no more.

This left her feeling quite dejected.

"Excuse me, are you here to report in?"

Just then, a clear voice interrupted Nangong Waner's thoughts.

She turned to look and saw a young Disciple wearing a green robe and holding a black staff walking out from within the mountain gate.

"My name is Zhang Xiaofan, an Outer Sect Disciple of the Qingyun Sect. May I ask if you are a new Disciple of this term?"

Hearing this, Nangong Waner took out her identity token and handed it to him.

Zhang Xiaofan took the token, checked it carefully, looked at Nangong Waner's face, and nodded.

"The information is correct. Junior Sister Nangong, please follow me."

Nangong Waner nodded and turned to look at Qin Yan, seemingly wanting to say something, but in the end, she only gave a slight bow.

"Young Master Qin Yan, Brother Zhao, Brother Zhou, Waner will take her leave now."

Zhao Tieshan and Zhou Yuan nodded in response.

Qin Yan nodded slightly without saying much.

Then, Nangong Waner followed Zhang Xiaofan, stepping onto the green stone steps and entering the mountain gate of the Qingyun Sect.

After walking a few steps, she couldn't help but look back, only to find that Qin Yan had already turned and left, leaving only a receding silhouette.

Nangong Waner bit her lip, turned around, and walked into the gatehouse.

...

After Nangong Waner went inside, Qin Yan also turned and left the area.

He still had important matters to attend to.

During the process of escorting Nangong Waner, he hadn't been idle.

He had been looking through the task list in his token and found another task suitable for him!

[The Azure Wolf Gang has been slaughtering civilians and looting merchant caravans outside Taixuan City. Their crimes are numerous and have incited public outrage. A bounty is now issued to exterminate the Azure Wolf Gang.]

[Difficulty: Three Stars]

[Requirement: Sixth-Rank Martial Artist or above]

[Reward: 70 taixuan points]

In the task description, the various crimes of the Azure Wolf Gang were listed in detail: looting passing merchant caravans, stealing property, and killing the innocent; sneaking into villages to abduct young women for their pleasure; even slaughtering civilians to extract their essence blood for Cultivating evil techniques...

Every single case was shocking to behold.

And the Azure Wolf Gang happened to be the Gang that Old Monster Canglang belonged to.

He had just killed Old Monster Canglang, so he had already formed a grudge with the Azure Wolf Gang.

Qin Yan didn't like being targeted by others in the shadows, so the Azure Wolf Gang would just have to die!

Qin Yan rushed toward the area where the Azure Wolf Gang was located.

...

At night.

Inside the Azure Wolf Gang camp.

The camp was located in a valley, surrounded by mountains on three sides, making it easy to defend and hard to attack.

The valley was brightly lit with blazing bonfires, illuminating rows of simple wooden houses and tents.

The air was thick with the smell of alcohol, roasted meat, and a faint scent of blood.

"Ah!"

"Spare me!"

"Old Monster Canglang was really killed by Qin Yan!"

Fan Hu's voice echoed through the camp, shrill and desperate.

In the center of the camp, a thick wooden stake stood tall. Fan Hu's body was bound to the stake with iron chains, suspended in mid-air.

At this moment, his body was dripping with blood, covered in charred scars and mangled flesh—a shocking sight.

His limbs had long been blasted off, leaving only a mangled torso swaying slightly in the night wind.

Below him, a man with a scarred face and a wolf-like head summoned bolts of lightning with a wave of his hand; blue electric arcs danced and crackled in his palm.

With a casual flick, a bolt of lightning struck Fan Hu, causing his whole body to convulse as he let out a shrill scream.

This scarred-face wolf-man was the Second Leader of the Azure Wolf Gang, with a strength of the Sixth Rank Late Stage!

Fan Hu screamed again, his Aura becoming even weaker.

He had been tortured here for an entire afternoon. From his initial begging for mercy to his later resignation and now to his current numbness, he could no longer remember how many times he had been struck.

"Big Brother, it seems Third Brother really was killed by that guy named Qin Yan."

The scarred wolf-man spoke to the man beside him.

That man was burly, half a head taller than the scarred wolf-man.

His head was that of a black wolf, with fur as dark as ink and eyes glowing green like ghost fire, emitting a bloodthirsty light.

His entire Aura was as deep as an abyss, more than twice as strong as Old Monster Canglang's!

This was the First Leader of the Azure Wolf Gang—Old Monster Canglang Black!

Strength of the Sixth Rank Peak!

Hearing this, a ghostly light flickered in Old Monster Canglang Black's eyes, and he said in a low voice, "It seems Third Brother met a tough opponent this time."

They had already learned from Fan Hu what had happened—that Holy Land Disciple named Qin Yan had killed their Sixth Rank Late Stage Third Brother in a single move!

This was simply terrifying!

One must know that even he, with Sixth Rank Peak strength, might not be able to kill Third Brother in one move.

That Holy Land Disciple named Qin Yan very likely had strength above his own!

"Big Brother, Fan Hu seems to be out of breath."

The scarred wolf-man spoke, his voice carrying a hint of indifference.

He glanced at Fan Hu hanging high on the stake; the mangled body no longer struggled, only twitching slightly on occasion, his Aura so weak it was almost imperceptible.

"He no longer has any value. Send him on his way."

Old Monster Canglang Black said.

"Alright," the scarred wolf-man chuckled, a cruel smile appearing on his wolf face.

He raised his hand, blue electric arcs dancing and crackling in his palm.

Then, with a swing of his hand, a thick bolt of lightning shot from his palm, striking Fan Hu directly!

"Boom!"

The lightning exploded. Before Fan Hu could even scream, he was blasted into nothingness, turning into specks of ash that dissipated in the night wind.

On that wooden stake, only a few broken iron chains remained, swaying slightly in the wind.

After dealing with Fan Hu, the scarred wolf-man turned and looked at the First Leader, asking, "Big Brother, do we still want to avenge Third Brother?"

Old Monster Canglang Black fell silent upon hearing this.
