While Li Goudan was reading Xiao Chen's letter, on the other side, Xiao Chen's group had already left the Eight Direction Stronghold and were rushing towards another stronghold called the Hungry Tiger Stronghold.
According to the information provided by the Forgotten Worries Restaurant, the Qingma Gang was currently hiding in a valley not far from the Hungry Tiger Stronghold.
It was an unknown valley. Due to the rugged path and the fact that there was nothing special about it, very few people would go there. Therefore, after kidnapping the Nangong Yan group, the Qingma Gang had been hiding there.
The three Dao Emperors sent by the Family Nangong were members of the Family Nangong. At the same time, the three of them were rather familiar with the Fengyue Mountain Range. Therefore, when Xiao Chen mentioned the Qingma Gang's hiding place, the three of them immediately knew where it was.
As they hurried, one of the Family Nangong Dao Emperors said with a cold expression, "The Qingma Gang really knows how to hide under the radar. That valley is less than an hour's journey from the Hungry Tiger Stronghold. No wonder the Family Nangong couldn't find them."
The Green Horse Gang's choice of hiding place was indeed unexpected. After all, they had kidnapped the young miss of the Nangong family. According to normal people's thinking, they would definitely run as far away as possible. It was absolutely impossible for them to continue staying near the walled city.
After all, in the 32 strongholds of Fengyue, as long as the Nangong Clan did a little investigation, they could easily find them. Therefore, no one would have thought that the Green Horse Gang would actually stay around the Hungry Tiger Stronghold.
There was a ball of rage burning in their hearts. Or perhaps it was because the Nangong Clan was unable to find the whereabouts of the Azure Horse Gang after investigating for so long, yet the Worry Forget Restaurant had accomplished it in a short period of a few days. They felt like they'd lost face, so these three Dao Emperor Realm experts of the Nangong Clan were extremely displeased.
As the number one power in the southern region of the Tianfeng Prefecture, the Family Nangong were all proud and arrogant. Therefore, this matter had indeed made them extremely angry.
Xiao Chen grinned and didn't say anything further. However, a wisp of a solemn expression couldn't help but appear in his eyes. Actually, since they'd traveled here last night until now, based on the current situation, it could be said to be extremely easy for these three Dao Emperor Realm experts sent by the Nangong Clan to annihilate the Azure Horse Gang and rescue Nangong Yan's group.
However, for some unknown reason, Xiao Chen felt slightly uneasy. He kept having the feeling that this trip wouldn't go so smoothly.
However, no matter how he thought about it, how could the lowly Qingma Gang deal with the three Dao Emperors of the Family Nangong? After all, the Qingma Gang's leader, Zhao Qiang, was only at the peak of the Dao Validation Realm.
It was like trying to break a rock with an egg. However, even so, Xiao Chen felt that something was amiss.
He couldn't find a reason or evidence, so Xiao Chen was secretly pondering whether he had missed any clues or questions.
Unfortunately, no matter how Xiao Chen thought about it, he couldn't think of any other possibility.
For the sake of not alerting the enemy, Xiao Chen's group didn't fly, and they relied on their legs to travel. However, even then, they arrived outside the Starving Tiger Stronghold in less than two days after traveling without stopping.
As he gazed at the Starving Tiger Stronghold that was similar in scale to the Eight Direction Stronghold, Xiao Chen said to the three Family Nangong experts at the side, "Seniors, there's no need for us to enter the Starving Tiger Stronghold. We've been causing trouble all this time, so we'd like to rest for a while. We've exhausted quite a bit of energy from traveling for two days, so we'll head out to rescue Young Miss Nangong and the others after we've adjusted our states."
Originally, Xiao Chen and the others were completely capable of making a move upon arriving here. However, they'd exhausted quite a bit of energy from traveling at full speed for almost two days. Moreover, Xiao Chen kept having a bad premonition in his heart. So, Xiao Chen decided to adjust his state before making a move.
For the sake of safety, Xiao Chen chose to rest. The three Family Nangong experts immediately expressed their displeasure when they heard this, and one of them even grunted coldly.
"Hmph! What's there to rest for? With the three of us here, you don't even have to make a move. The three of us can annihilate the Qingma Gang with a flip of our hands and rescue the Young Miss."
The three of them didn't take the Qingma Gang seriously at all. It made sense because would three Dao Emperor Realm experts care about a tiny Qingma Gang?
However, the current situation was different. So, Xiao Chen still insisted on resting and adjusting his state while facing their displeasure, and they couldn't act rashly.
Even though the three Family Nangong experts were displeased by Xiao Chen's persistence, they still chose to compromise in the end.
It couldn't be helped. Before they came here, Nangong Yi and his older brother, the Patriarch of Family Nangong, had given them strict orders that they had to obey Xiao Chen. If they dared to disobey, then they would be punished according to the rules of the clan.
They had to obey Xiao Chen's orders. So, the three Family Nangong experts followed Xiao Chen's instructions and chose a spacious area to sit down cross-legged before closing their eyes and adjusting their state of breathing.
They were supposed to be able to adjust their state of breathing in two to four hours, but Xiao Chen didn't make a move for a long time. The three Family Nangong experts continued to endure when they saw this, and Xiao Chen finally stood up slowly when night fell.
"Seniors, let's go."
They could finally make a move. The three of them grunted coldly at the same time when they heard this, and then they didn't say anything else as they followed Xiao Chen towards the valley where the Qingma Gang resided.
Xiao Chen knew that the three of them were displeased with him, but he didn't have the slightest intention of complying with them.
As they got closer to the Qingma Gang's hiding place, Xiao Chen's ominous premonition grew stronger and stronger. Xiao Chen's eyes flickered with a faint light as he asked Gu Lingyao softly.
"Lingyao, did you notice anything amiss?"
Xiao Chen had already witnessed Gu Lingyao's monstrous intelligence, so he took the initiative to ask her if she noticed anything amiss.
However, to Xiao Chen's disappointment, Gu Lingyao shook her head in response to his question, indicating that she didn't notice anything amiss.
Xiao Chen was clearly helpless in response to Gu Lingyao's answer, and he guessed inwardly, Could it be that I'm overthinking things?
Could it be that I'm overthinking things? However, Xiao Chen quickly shook his head again. That's impossible, my intuition can't be wrong.
Ever since the Heavenly Chen Continent, Xiao Chen had always had this intuition whenever danger approached. His intuition couldn't be wrong.
He firmly believed that his intuition couldn't be wrong, but he still didn't know where the danger was coming from. When the group arrived at the entrance of the valley, Xiao Chen, who had been hiding in the dark, quickly discovered that there were at least eight hidden sentries at the entrance of the valley. These sentries were used to observe every movement in the surroundings.
It seems that Forgotten Worries Restaurant's intelligence was correct. The Qingma Gang was indeed hiding here. Xiao Chen didn't act rashly, but the three Family Nangong experts couldn't help but speak up.
"Young Master Xiao Chen, what happened to you along the way? Could it be that you were scared out of your wits by the Qingma Gang? "
