Chapter 2078 - 1580: Thousand Doors Secret Technique—Heart Bewitching Spell!

First update, asking for subscriptions and monthly tickets~~~~~...

When Qin Fang emerged from the hidden place once more, it had already been two or three hours. By then, he had completely transformed the energy obtained from the Godslaying Worm into his own True Qi.

At this moment, his cultivation was even more solidified, almost at the point of stepping into the Grandmaster Mid-Stage... just one last critical push was needed.

Of course, the benefit of this was that Qin Fang's true strength had once again increased significantly, allowing him to easily contend against a Master Level Late-Stage expert.

Even when encountering a Grandmaster Peak Strongman, Qin Fang wouldn't be as hesitant as before; if they fought, it would be hard to predict the winner.

"I wonder how Lin Qian and the others are doing?"

Disappearing for two or three hours was definitely not short, and it was likely that the entire Devil's Island had become agitated... Lin Qian and Everard might not have gone unnoticed either.

"Five Dragons' Den over there... should have calmed down by now, right?"

Though Qin Fang was somewhat worried about Lin Qian and the others, the movements of Five Dragons' Den were what truly concerned him... After causing havoc for a few hours and not even finding Qin Fang's shadow, things might settle down.

However, Qin Fang knew that even if things appeared calm on the surface, they were actually more vigilant than before.

Qin Fang could quietly steal that robot, so perhaps he could also quietly infiltrate the heart of Five Dragons' Den.

Even an enemy like this requires serious attention from powerful establishments like Five Dragons' Den... They aren't afraid of how strong Qin Fang is, because even if they can't match him, they'll bring in even stronger experts to counter him!

This is the deep foundation of Five Dragons' Den, not at all weaker than thousand-year sects like Shaolin or Kunlun in Dragon Country, and perhaps even surpassing them.

The strength of Shaolin and Kunlun is mighty, but their foundation is still centered within Dragon Country, whereas the forces of Devil's Island have long spread globally.

While Five Dragons' Stockade may still maintain the orthodoxy of the Thousand Gate heritage, with most of its people being descendants of the five great ancestors of the Thousand Gate, Five Dragons' Den... has seemingly long been corrupted, with many of its experts coming from foreign lands!

Qin Fang wasn't particularly concerned about the changes at Five Dragons' Den; he just wanted to quickly find his father Qin Tiannan and leave here as fast as possible with him...

Nowadays, Devil's Island is becoming increasingly dangerous, with more experts emerging, and their power reaching terrifying levels.

Although Qin Fang had anticipated these things before arriving on the island, facing such formidable enemies in reality was truly no small matter.

Qin Fang traversed quietly and cautiously, fortunately not encountering people from Five Dragons' Den, allowing him to feel slightly more at ease.

"It seems they haven't been discovered..."

Upon reaching the cave where Lin Qian and the others were hiding, there was no trace of others around, suggesting that the place was relatively safe, much to Qin Fang's relief.

"Fang... are you alright?"

Upon entering the cave, Qin Fang noticed Everard approaching, looking at him in astonishment as if searching for some wounds.

However, he clearly was going to be disappointed...

Qin Fang had indeed been seriously injured not long ago, having been ruthlessly battered by a Great Grandmaster Level Expert like Scarface, leaving behind some scars.

However, Qin Fang's injuries had long since healed, his torn clothes replaced with new ones, naturally concealing everything.

"I'm fine... what's the matter?"

Seeing Everard's surprised expression, Qin Fang was a bit puzzled, not knowing what this was all about.

"Oh, it's nothing... It's just that there was quite a commotion over there, and we were nearly exposed!"

Everard smiled wryly, pointing in the direction of Five Dragons' Den, "Thankfully, we found a relatively hidden grotto in the cave, which helped us evade capture..."

Qin Fang then noticed that Lin Qian hadn't appeared with Everard; she was currently climbing down slowly from a certain point at the top of the stone wall.

The location of that grotto was indeed very discreet, and even standing here carefully, Qin Fang only found it with the assistance of the Scouting Skill.

"Someone's been here?"

But Qin Fang was particularly concerned about this point.

He had checked outside the cave and found no signs of a large search party, so Everard's statement naturally seemed rather odd.

"Only two people came... but both were top-notch experts!"

Everard nodded, saying that with his level of cultivation, if he acknowledged the other party's strength, then those two who came were certainly extraordinary.

"Someone's coming..."

Just then, Qin Fang's expression suddenly changed, and he instantly whispered, quickly squeezing into the grotto on the stone wall along with Everard and Lin Qian.

Almost as soon as Qin Fang and his group hid, a group of people rushed into the cave, quickly forming tactical formations that completely sealed off all passageways.

"People of the Five Dragons' Stockade…"

Seeing their actions, Qin Fang didn't need his Scouting Skill to understand their origins; they were clearly from the Five Dragons' Stockade.

Their numbers weren't large, hardly ten people, yet each one of them was a master fighter. Leading them was the young man who had ordered the previous pursuit, Yang Rui.

"No need to hide! Come out…"

Yang Rui walked slowly into the cave, glancing around as if he saw everything, but he did not spot Qin Fang and the others.

However, he did not give up; he strolled leisurely to the center of the cave and shouted loudly, as if he had already uncovered their hiding spot.

But Qin Fang and his group obviously weren't going to respond…

If they could be lured out so easily by such deceit, it would only prove how low their intelligence was…

"Hmph, refusing a toast only to drink a forfeit… Don't blame me for being rude, then!"

Yang Rui seemed to have anticipated this result; his expression didn't change much, but his tone turned rather cold.

"Yang Jiu…"

After that, Yang Rui called out a name and retreated to the back, protected by many master fighters.

Qin Fang and company were hiding in a stone nook up in the cave, naturally observing the situation below. When they heard Yang Rui call the name Yang Jiu, neither Qin Fang nor Everard felt it was anything significant, but Lin Qian suddenly trembled slightly, as if realizing something terrifying…

Although Lin Qian's reaction was subtle, Qin Fang sensed it and glanced at her curiously but saw nothing unusual due to the angle, dismissing it as a small movement.

Then, Qin Fang focused his main attention on the master fighters of the Five Dragons' Stockade below, especially on the man emerging from the group, "Yang Jiu."

Yang Jiu was a man of about forty, looking quite thin, as if a gust of wind could knock him down.

Qin Fang noted that his strength was only moderate, reaching the Grandmaster Mid-Stage, among the weaker in this group.

Even slightly inferior to the young man Yang Rui from earlier… Yang Rui was at least a Grandmaster Mid-Stage, not far from a Master Level Late-Stage.

But that was certainly not the reason Qin Fang could underestimate Yang Jiu! On the contrary, Qin Fang suddenly felt a significant sense of caution towards him, despite his frail appearance…

"What exactly is going on?"

This sudden sense of alarm drew Qin Fang's attention, and his focus on Yang Jiu intensified greatly.

In the center of the cave, Yang Jiu slowly took out items from the bag slung over his back, one by one.

They were all rather ordinary tools, nothing particularly strange, and Qin Fang even noticed some women's jewelry among them.

These items were simply placed on the ground, with Yang Jiu in the center, sitting cross-legged while his hands continuously made intricate gestures, as if performing a mysterious sign language.

"Hmm, what is this…"

Qin Fang watched Yang Jiu's actions with surprise, his brows furrowed, unable to comprehend what was happening.

Beside him, Everard's reaction was similar, staring at Yang Jiu with confusion, unable to make sense of it.

However, neither of them noticed Lin Qian's change beside them… At this moment, her face was tinged with an unusual red, looking quite peculiar.

"Thousand Doors Secret Technique…"

Though Qin Fang didn't know exactly what method Yang Jiu was using, he vaguely recognized traces of the Thousand Skills, which enlightened him a bit.

Thereupon, Qin Fang observed Yang Jiu carefully while activating his Grandmaster-level Thousand Skills.

The Thousand Skills is a complex and vast skill, containing countless strange secret techniques of the Thousand Gate… Qin Fang only mastered a small portion of them.

Therefore, it wasn't surprising that he couldn't recognize the Thousand Doors Secret Technique Yang Jiu used…

But now, Qin Fang was delving into and exploring some details or critical aspects of this secret technique. Once he captured just a tiny bit, he could completely learn this Thousand Doors Secret Technique!

This was the terrifying aspect of Qin Fang's skill learning… and now he was engaged in such an action!

Yang Jiu's movements seemed very simple and ordinary, almost impossible to discern anything unusual, at least to Everard.

But Qin Fang, after a few simple attempts at imitation, vaguely grasped some important elements, his expression slightly shifting…

"Heart Bewitching Spell…"

The words slipped out almost involuntarily! (To be continued. If you enjoy this work, welcome to Qidian (qidian.com) to vote for recommendations and monthly tickets. Your support is my greatest motivation.)
