Chapter 2128 - 1622: The Three Major Factions!

First update, requesting subscriptions, monthly tickets~~~~...

"Could it be the legendary Overseas Three Immortal Mountains?"

Qin Fang was also muttering this in his heart.

He had acquired the Secret Realm Map a long time ago, which was the map of the Overseas Three Immortal Mountains...

However, the map had been divided into four pieces, scattered overseas, and ultimately ended up in the hands of four different Fusang Ninja factions. Now, Qin Fang had already recovered two pieces of the Secret Realm Map, but two pieces were still out there.

Originally, Qin Fang planned to collect all four pieces, and then lead a group of people to search for the legendary Mystic Realm.

But now, the emergence of this mysterious island ruins made Qin Fang's heart restless, pondering whether these ruins might actually be those of the Overseas Three Immortal Mountains...

"No matter what, let's go take a look first..."

Although there was not much understanding of this mysterious island ruins at the moment, judging by the reaction of several sects on the island, it seemed they were not paying much attention, or had not discovered significant danger...

This, to some extent, could also explain the situation of these island ruins. At most, it's just some outskirts...

Even if this island is indeed part of the Overseas Three Immortal Mountains, it's likely only a fringe area. The true core remains hidden within a mysterious and massive formation.

A formation capable of completely enveloping the vast Overseas Three Immortal Mountains must be incredibly powerful and terrifying. It's likely that the Mystic Realm Qin Fang and they found in Fusang cannot even compare...

A silent night passed.

Chen Liang and Ling Fei had already conveyed the news here to Fang Tianlin at the Tian Nan Sect in the southern part of the island, detailing the latest developments as well as having encountered Qin Fang.

This included the little conflict between Fang Lin and Qin Fang...

Upon learning this, Fang Tianlin immediately gave Fang Lin the strictest punishment... Once he returns, he will face confinement and three years of wall-gazing! If it weren't for needing Fang Lin's participation in the exploration of the ruins, Fang Tianlin would have already taken Fang Lin back for a severe reprimand.

Moreover, Fang Tianlin personally contacted Qin Fang, very sincerely expressing his apologies and gratitude.

At the same time, he also transferred the command of several individuals from the Tian Nan Sect, as well as some forces controlled in Beitai, entirely into Qin Fang's hands...

Of course, Fang Tianlin had a small request, which was to ensure the safety of Chen Liang, Ling Fei, and Fang Lin as much as possible.

Two of these three were Fang Tianlin's personal disciples, candidates for the sect master of Tian Nan Sect, while the other was Fang Tianlin's own and only grandson... Since Fang Tianlin himself couldn't make it to this expedition, he could only entrust them to Qin Fang.

He felt that entrusting them to Qin Fang was even more reliable than taking care of them himself.

Empathy!

With such trust from Fang Tianlin towards Qin Fang, Qin Fang naturally couldn't refuse and agreed to this request.

The expedition team quickly assembled. According to the pattern of the island's appearance, they were set to depart for those ruins within two days.

"Remember, try to avoid exposing my identity..."

Qin Fang, using the identity of a Tian Nan Sect member, blended in with Chen Liang, Ling Fei, and others while instructing them not to reveal his identity.

The Tian Nan Sect disciples were divided into four generations. The Grandmaster Level Supreme Elder belonged to the first generation, Fang Tianlin's generation was the second, then Chen Liang and Ling Fei were the third generation, with Fang Lin naturally being the fourth...

As for Qin Fang's age, he was slightly younger than Fang Lin. Appearing in the team of Tian Nan Sect made everyone naturally assume he was a fourth-generation disciple, despite many finding him unfamiliar.

Qin Fang also concealed much of his aura, only displaying cultivation at the Master Level Early Stage to align slightly with his age. Although still somewhat conspicuous, it was far less revealing than his true strength.

The expedition team gathered at a port in the northern part of the island, with informed sects all sending representatives...

However, the strength of these sects varied, and the people sent were equally diverse. For instance, Tian Nan Sect and Yunhai Sect, the two largest sects on the island, sent experts above the Master Level, while other secondary sects mainly sent Master Level martial artists along with one or two Quasi Grandmaster Level martial artists... The even weaker sects didn't have any Master Level experts.

"Senior Brother Chen, Senior Brother Ling..."

As soon as Chen Liang and Ling Fei arrived, they were met with a warm welcome, with acquaintances actively approaching to greet them, even somewhat following their lead.

Of course, similar circumstances occurred on the Yunhai Sect side as well.

Tian Nan Sect and Yunhai Sect were the two giant sects in the island's Martial World, lagging behind the Mainland of the Dragon Country but were indeed the island's two dominant forces...

However, as the saying goes, 'two tigers cannot share one mountain'; the relationship between the two sects remained hostile. Even in this expedition, the camps were clearly divided.

"No wonder you were worried... The other side has invested more resources than you guys!"

Noticing the people of the Yunhai Sect camp, Qin Fang couldn't help but whisper to Chen Liang and the others.

The Tian Nan Sect is not weak either, but the strongest are only Chen Liang, Ling Fei, and the leader of a small sect, just three late-stage master-level experts...

However, the Yunhai Sect is evidently much stronger, not only having five or six late-stage master-level experts but even one at the master-level peak, reaching the semi-grandmaster level... This gap is really quite large.

"This is the Yunhai Sect's territory, we, Tian Nan Sect, also can't be too high-profile..."

Chen Liang smiled bitterly as he spoke.

Does the Tian Nan Sect not have such experts?

Obviously not.

Although Fang Tianlin is the sect master of the Tian Nan Sect, his strength doesn't even rank in the top three within the sect. Aside from the grandmaster-level Supreme Elder, there are three more at the master-level peak, with two having reached the semi-grandmaster level.

But this time, none of these experts came, only dispatching Chen Liang and two third-generation disciples.

"Senior Brother Chen, I heard that this time the little devils will also participate?"

Not only is our own strength weaker, but new competitors have joined. Someone immediately came over to ask, with deep concern in their words.

The struggle between Yunhai Sect and Tian Nan Sect is, after all, an internal conflict on the island. Regardless of who wins, the benefit still goes to one's own people...

But the addition of these little devils is a completely different matter.

"Do you think there's a possibility for cooperation between our two sides?"

With external enemies joining, someone couldn't help but ask about this possibility, fearing to benefit outsiders.

"Difficult! Very difficult! Extremely difficult..."

Unfortunately, everyone understood in their hearts that the possibility is really minimal.

That's just how it is with our people; the internal fighting is too intense. Even knowing that there are foreign enemies joining, it's difficult to change this fact... Moreover, in recent years, the relations between island people and little devils seem closer than with the mainland.

Otherwise, why would such secretive information not be transmitted to the mainland but instead to the little devils?

"The little devils have arrived..."

Speak of Cao Cao, and Cao Cao appears.

While everyone was discussing this matter, a group of people immediately came from outside. From their attire, hairstyles, and weapons, it wasn't difficult to discern their origins and identity, as they were indeed those experts from the Fusang Ando family.

"Hiss~~~"

Noticing the entry of these little devils, whether in the Tian Nan Sect or the Yunhai Sect camp, there were quite a few people who gasped, their expressions turning much more serious.

The number of little devils coming wasn't much, amounting to just five or six, even slightly more than an ordinary sect's personnel. Comparing them to the two great camps, their numbers were pitiably small...

However, each of these five or six individuals was an expert, all having reached the late-stage master level. Though there weren't any abnormally strong experts, their overall strength was higher than the Tian Nan Sect camp.

Especially since these experts are renowned ninjas known for assassination, stealth, and trickery, making even those at the master-level peak or semi-grandmaster level wary... With a count of five to six, it's indeed very frightening.

It was precisely noticing this point that Chen Liang and Ling Fei, who had some psychological preparation, had their expressions drastically change, their gazes subconsciously drifting towards Qin Fang, naturally hoping to seek assistance from Qin Fang.

With six ninjas having reached such cultivation, they've indeed exceeded their estimates. Even with Qin Fang helping, they have little confidence now...

Unless...

Unless Qin Fang breaks through the master-level barrier, reaching grandmaster-level cultivation, perhaps guaranteeing their safety.

But, is this possible?

Chen Liang and the others involuntarily shivered at the thought, helplessly looking at Qin Fang.

"Let's wait and see what happens..."

Qin Fang instead gave them a look, signaling them to refrain from any overly aggressive behaviors, even if the little devils come aggressively, they should respond tactically.

The strength of the Ando family is formidable, Qin Fang had already anticipated this, otherwise they wouldn't dare to attempt assassinating a master-level peak Miyamoto Musashi... The fact that they only sent some master-level ninjas this time shows their lack of significant regard.

From this aspect, the little devils are relatively decent...

Nonetheless, if it's proven that this island relic is a very ancient, strong mystic realm, such as the legendary Overseas Three Immortal Mountains Mystic Realm, then more than just this few will be dispatched here...(to be continued.
