Chapter 553: Chapter 594, Fallen into Hardship

"Brother Tian, I think going with you would be more reassuring, although I am not as skilled as you, I feel..." Da Gang wanted to continue, but saw Fang Yi’s expression turning cold.

Fang Yi said coldly, "I told you to stay here for backup!"

Da Gang looked anxious, but in Fang Yi’s icy gaze, he stopped himself from speaking.

Fang Yi didn’t say anything more and turned, heading towards the interior of the island.

The island was densely wooded, and Fang Yi was now walking through a thick patch of grass. Most of the greenery here was stalky plants dominated by Centipede Grass. The ground was damp, crawling with snakes and insects. Fang Yi had deliberately broken off a branch to use as a probing stick to drive away the pests.

Fang Yi headed towards the area with lights. While arriving, he had memorized the positions of those lights, thus he headed that way without losing his direction.

Moreover, Fang Yi had experience surviving on islands, so he knew which way to go by heart.

As he walked, Fang Yi also pondered certain matters, such as Zhao Guosheng and Da Gang.

Da Gang was one of the Jiaolong Guards of the Dragon Team, directly responsible for Zhao Guosheng, but earlier, Zhao Guosheng had pretended not to recognize Da Gang. There was definitely something fishy about that.

Then there was the matter of Ma Yong’s death. Fang Yi had some doubts about Zhao Guosheng’s claims. He preferred to believe that whether Ma Yong was dead was still an unknown.

From his interactions with Zhao Guosheng, it was clear that Zhao was a cunning old fox. It’s best not to harbor any harmful intentions, but one must always stay guarded!

Thinking thus, Fang Yi got closer to the lights, and gradually, a few simple houses came into his view.

Fang Yi found a concealed spot to crouch down, then looked around carefully.

"One spot, two spots, four spots..." Fang Yi surveyed the high ground, observing four snipers hiding in different spots.

Approaching directly was impossible unless one was a Heavenly Level expert.

Besides those snipers, there were also simple watchtowers with guards and ground patrols tightly securing the area, making it nearly impenetrable, like a fortress.

Fang Yi squatted, and then stood up again; since a frontal approach was out of the question, he would have to flank them.

However, just as Fang Yi stood, he suddenly heard a commotion nearby, then saw a woman being pushed by two burly men.

"You pirates! Let me go! Do you know who I am?"

"You are looking for your own deaths... you... where are you taking me?!"

The voice sounded familiar. Fang Yi focused his gaze, and his expression turned odd.

Damn it!

Menopausal old woman, are you insane!

Fang Yi really wanted to curse out loud; the one being pushed by the two burly men was none other than Nangong Lengxue.

In just a moment, Fang Yi guessed why Nangong Lengxue was here. Clearly, she had followed him and Da Gang, but all this woman did was talk big without any real capability, completely useless, yet she dared to come here and even got caught.

"Damn it, I really don’t want to save you!" Fang Yi cursed under his breath. He had to act quickly now.

Nangong Lengxue was pushed into a room.

This room was the best here, but it was worlds apart from the outside. Outside was the cold, biting wind, but inside it was as warm as spring, with an air of blooming flowers.

The face of Nangong Lengxue, a mature and beautiful woman, turned red instantly. She had not expected to see such a scene upon entering. She immediately looked away—there were several women in the room, as well as two men.

One of the men was burly and stout, with a crew cut and a terrifying scar on one side of his face that gave off a fierce aura.

When Nangong Lengxue saw the other man, her face suddenly changed color with rage.

"Qin Cheng!" Nangong Lengxue gritted her teeth.

The man named Qin Cheng smiled slightly and said, "I wondered who it was. So it’s Director Nangong from the Thunder Nether Pavilion. What a coincidence, I didn’t expect you to come here. Fate, isn’t it?"

Nangong Lengxue shouted angrily, "Qin Cheng, you, as a captain of the Blood Dragon Guard, are colluding with these pirates. Do you realize that such behavior within the Dragon Team is punishable by life imprisonment?"

"I know," Qin Cheng nodded. His smile then twisted into something sinister. "But as long as Director Nangong doesn’t tell anyone, this situation won’t come to light, right?"

Nangong Lengxue caught the implication in his words and said coldly, "Are you thinking of killing me to silence me?"

At that moment, the burly man with the scar-faced laughed heartily and said, "It would be such a waste to kill a beauty like you. Isn’t that right, brother Qin Cheng?"

Qin Cheng also laughed and added, "Absolutely, Earth Snake brother. You might not know this, but Director Nangong is a renowned beauty in the Dragon Team, and she has a weak husband. She’s a married woman—it must feel amazing."

Qin Cheng’s gaze towards Nangong Lengxue was filled with greed.

Earth Snake stuck out his tongue, licking his lips while staring at Nangong Lengxue’s eyes with a sharp gleam, "Really, a married woman?"

Qin Cheng said, "Yes."

"Insolent!"

Nangong Lengxue could no longer hold back and shouted fiercely, "You are shameless!"

With a mockingly intrigued voice, Earth Snake said, "Such a feisty one, though. That just makes it all the more appetizing. Brother Qin Cheng, you don’t mind if I give her a pill, do you?"

"Of course, I don’t mind at all," Qin Cheng smiled.

Earth Snake stood up, walked over to Nangong Lengxue, who immediately tried to resist, but Earth Snake brutally forced her mouth open, showing no gentleness at all.

Just as Nangong Lengxue felt like she could hardly breathe, several pills were thrown into her mouth by Earth Snake, forcing her to swallow them. Quickly realizing what she had ingested, she began to retch violently.

"Ha! Once you’ve swallowed them, don’t think about spitting them out, bitch. You’ll be begging me to fuck you soon," Earth Snake said mockingly.

Then, turning to the men guarding Nangong Lengxue, Earth Snake commanded, "Lock her up in the dark room. I’ll go and pay her a special visit later."

The two men complied and immediately escorted Nangong Lengxue out.

Afterward, Earth Snake returned to his seat, sitting next to Qin Cheng, and lit a cigar, his expression turning solemn again. "Brother Qin Cheng, let’s talk. How did it happen that the director of the Thunder Nether Pavilion from your Dragon Team ended up in my territory? Seems like a big issue to me."
