"What's the plan?"

Chen Liang and the other two suddenly perked up when they heard this... Each of them looked like a very obedient elementary school student, staring pitifully at their teacher.

This was because their current situation was quite dire. Without a good plan, their lives would be hard to ensure, and they might even drag their sects down into a bleak fate...

"It's actually very simple, just need to do this and that..."

Seeing that these three were genuinely scared, Qin Fang stopped teasing them and briefly explained his plan.

At that moment, Qin Fang felt like a child trafficker, luring Chen Liang and his two companions step by step... This feeling indeed left Qin Fang quite helpless.

"Ah~~~"

When Chen Liang and the two others heard Qin Fang's plan, they couldn't help but exclaim, their expressions shifting unpredictably, clearly undecided... It was somewhat beyond their expectations.

"Uncle-Master, is there really no other way?"

The three exchanged glances, then cautiously asked. Clearly, Qin Fang's plan was something they found hard to accept.

"At least, this is the only plan I can think of... If you have a better plan, you can handle it on your own!"

Qin Fang shrugged, speaking indifferently.

"..."

The three were instantly dumbfounded. If they had a plan, they wouldn't be so helpless and anxious.

"Alright, we'll follow Uncle-Master's arrangements then..."

In the end, the three could only choose to compromise.

To survive, it seemed they had no choice but to follow Qin Fang's plans. After all, their strength was too weak, and the enemies they were about to face were exceptionally formidable. Without Qin Fang's protection, they certainly wouldn't last long...

Even the Tian Nan Sect behind them was just an ordinary small sect. Though there were Grandmaster-level experts in the sect, against such powerful enemies, even having ten or eight Grandmaster-level experts wouldn't make much of a difference...

Having known what happened before, Chen Liang and the others knew that although Uncle-Master Qin was very young, his strength was terrifyingly extreme, easily capable of killing Grandmaster-level experts. His strength was definitely quite formidable among Grandmasters.

Qin Fang's extraordinary cultivation at such a young age surely meant he came from those thousand-year-old sects... With such backing and foundation, Qin Fang's protection naturally guaranteed their lives.

Moreover, Qin Fang had some connection with their Sect Master Fang Tianlin, and he had taken good care of them along the way without ill intentions, making him more reliable and deserving of their trust.

"That's also good. Once we get back to the Little Island, I'll make arrangements for them immediately..."

Qin Fang nodded. That Chen Liang and the others would make this choice was within his expectations, and there was nothing surprising about it.

"Although a bit lacking in strength, they can barely be used..."

However, Qin Fang was also quietly muttering to himself in his mind.

His plan was indeed quite straightforward, simply altering the appearances of Chen Liang and the others and bringing them from the Little Island to the Mainland of the Dragon Country... A place where many forces wouldn't dare to interfere. Protecting their safety there was not a problem.

Chen Liang and his companions were all at the Grandmaster-level, at most potentially reaching the Master Level Peak in the future, which likely wasn't impressive to Qin Fang... But it should be noted that those who grew to become Grandmaster-level experts weren't weak. With some training, they might become formidable combat power.

Qin Fang didn't expect significant assistance from these three; he only needed them to help guard his base, secretly protect his women... That was enough.

After all, knowing each other well, Chen Liang and the others should understand their boundaries and not do anything unwise...

...

"It's almost time, we should disembark..."

When they got close to the land's pier, Qin Fang suddenly stopped the boat and told Chen Liang and the other two.

"Uh... Is it time to leave the ship now?"

Chen Liang and the others were momentarily stunned, looking around at the vast ocean, it seemed they were still quite a distance from the mainland. Even if they wanted to swim back, it seemed they needed to get closer first. There were still at least ten to twenty kilometers to go.

"If we don't want to be caught like turtles in a jar, we should abandon the ship now..."

Qin Fang gazed at the barely visible edge of the land afar and said, "Don't worry, even if we have to row, we can safely reach the land..."

Without considering Chen Liang and the others' confusion, he directly forced the three onto a lifeboat, abandoning the yacht, and proceeded towards the land on the lifeboat.

To be precise, they adjusted the course of their lifeboat, deviating from the original route to find another landing spot.

The cruise ship is quite large, unless going to a port or dock, it cannot approach land; otherwise, it risks getting stranded and sinking… Whereas the lifeboat is different, it can easily dock and land, even on a chaotic rocky beach.

According to Qin Fang's estimation, there were probably people already waiting at the port dock for the expedition team to return...

"Such fast speed..."

Initially, Chen Liang and the others couldn't comprehend it, thinking Qin Fang was over worried... Even if abandoning the ship was necessary, taking the lifeboat didn't seem reasonable given the long distance. Only relying on rowing, they didn't know when they could land.

But soon, the three stunned once again... The speed of the lifeboat wasn't much slower than the cruise ship, even faster at times, cruising at high speeds on the sea, the fierce sea wind almost blew them overboard.

If not for Qin Fang grabbing them in time, they would all have become drenched chickens by now.

"Secret!"

Qin Fang simply spat out these two words indifferently without further explanation.

Some things can't be explained at all, like the lifeboat before them, even without moving the paddles, it maintained a speed over a hundred, almost getting lifted by the waves.

Yet Qin Fang seemed extraordinarily calm, as if it's the most natural thing, not strange at all.

If Little Dragon were not inconvenient to expose, he planned to take the three guys back to land via underwater submersion from beneath the sea… instead of letting Little Dragon command several hundred, even thousand, fish under the lifeboat to drag their boat forward quickly like now.

At such speeds, just ten to twenty minutes later, the land before them grew larger and larger… and finally came beneath their feet, successfully landing on a deserted beach.

Though strewn with reefs and bizarre rocks, even tearing the lifeboat with rugged edges, they couldn't stop Qin Fang and the others from landing on the mainland.

For ordinary people, this sea area might be treacherous; boats wouldn't dare approach recklessly. But to Qin Fang and their martial artist group, it posed little danger, easily conquered by them.

At the port.

The area looked prosperous, with various ships coming in and out, containers being constantly lifted and lowered... Over at the tourist dock, various vessels were navigating, everything seemed calm.

However, on closer inspection, around hotels, inns, various yacht clubs near the dock, strange people could be seen walking about.

These people dressed very ordinarily, seemingly nothing unusual... But observing their movements, eyes, etc., they could be distinguished from ordinary people, not to mention many clearly carrying 'stuff.'

In some places, strangely dressed "ancient people" could be seen... Robes worn, hair in a bun, sword behind!

"Thankfully, Uncle-Master warned us, otherwise..."

Witnessing such a scene, Chen Liang and the others couldn't help but gasp, then looked at Qin Fang appreciatively.

As martial artists, they naturally understood these people's backgrounds; many possessed remarkable abilities... Especially the old Daoist they spotted, clad in a robe, was none other than the famous loose cultivator expert, Nine Fingered Sage, from the Little Island!

"South Sea Pear Flower Island, Vast Sky Mountain, East Sea Giant Whale Gang... Fusang Ninja!"

After a simple walk around, Chen Liang and the others recognized many from their backgrounds, causing them to gasp again at the diverse crowd arriving, with nearly every major faction having sent representatives.

"Had our appearances not been altered, perhaps..."

Chen Liang and the others still felt fearful, daring to wander openly around the dock only because Qin Fang altered their appearances... Even past acquaintances facing them under such circumstances would hardly recognize them without conversation.

Precisely because they remained unrecognizable, they'd dared to come to the port... and fully believed Qin Fang's words now.

The information about the Little Island indeed leaked entirely, with many experts gathering, waiting for the first batch of explorers back from the island, then... capture them all at once!
