Chapter 2333: Chapter 2289: Coming Out of Seclusion

With a command from Qin Qingfeng, all the able-bodied men are fully armed and ready to set off.

Left behind are only the women, children, and some elderly people.

Seeing that Qin Qingfeng is about to lead his people out, Chen Yang and Tu Qi step forward.

"Young friends, you’re back! How many herbs have you collected?" Qin Qingfeng immediately asks with a smile.

"We’re short by three types, but we’re running out of time so we decided to return first. Once we’re outside, we’ll find a way again." Chen Yang replies.

"Only three remaining? That’s quite impressive." Qin Qingfeng is somewhat surprised, as he initially estimated that gathering seventy or eighty types would be very good.

"Mm." Chen Yang nods slightly, not saying much.

Seeing Chen Yang back as well, Qin Qingfeng immediately announces loudly, "The sons of the Qin Family, we have been hiding here and merely surviving for over two hundred years."

"It’s likely that the world has long forgotten us, the Qin Family."

"Today, I will lead you to re-emerge and restore our ancestors’ honor!"

Qin Qingfeng’s voice isn’t loud, but his tone is stirring.

The people of Qin Mountain Village have known the history of the Qin Family since childhood.

They also understand their mission to revive the Qin Family.

In such an educational environment, naturally, they regard reviving the Qin Family as their lifetime goal.

Now, the opportunity for the Qin Family to re-emerge is before them, and they are understandably excited.

"Revive the Qin Family, restore the honor!"

"Revive the Qin Family, restore the honor!"

...

Everyone in the square shouts in unison.

The sound is deafening, as powerful bloodlust rises to the sky, stirring hearts!

Although the number of people in the Qin Family isn’t large, they are definitely all elites.

Seeing this scene, Chen Yang seems to already imagine how terrifying the Qin Family will be for the Python King.

If a conflict occurs, these Qin Family people will surely be a war machine, capable of turning Da Jing’s capital into a river of blood.

The unified chanting continues for quite a while.

Finally, it ceases with a wave of Qin Qingfeng’s hand.

"Sons of Qin Family, follow me to set off!" With Qin Qingfeng’s command, all the men of the Qin Family mobilize.

Together they take to the sky, sweeping towards the south.

"You two, young friends, let’s head out together." Qin Qingfeng turns back with a smile, addressing Chen Yang and Tu Qi.

"Mm."

Chen Yang nods slightly, and they set off together.

Along with the Qin Family members, they travel through the mountains under the cover of night.

Over a hundred people fly over the forest.

Below, some Demon Kings sense the presence entering their territory and prepare to get angry.

But when they sense the overwhelming bloodlust and powerful aura, they hurriedly rush back to their lairs without looking back.

Trembling in their caves.

Not daring to provoke.

They travel unobstructed, swiftly heading toward the border city of the Da Jing Dynasty.

Even without demon beasts blocking their way, it still takes them all night to pass through the forest.

At dawn the next day, they finally see a massive city.

This city is precisely the border city of the Da Jing Dynasty.

Normally, although this city is heavily guarded, it still maintains an open state for entry and exit.

But upon arrival, they find the city gates tightly shut, with soldiers in armor standing all over the gate.

This is beyond just heavy guarding.

It’s clearly a state of high alert.

Constant defense against enemy invasion.

Upon reaching the edge of the forest, Qin Qingfeng stops upon seeing this.

All the Qin Family members also gradually hide into the woods.

"Village Chief Qin, what should we do next?" Chen Yang, noticing the unusual state of the border city, asks Qin Qingfeng what the next step should be.

"Young friend, what do you think?" Qin Qingfeng frowns, not answering Chen Yang, but instead asking for his opinion.

"I think the most important thing right now is to find out if Prince Jingkang is inside the city and who currently controls the border city." Chen Yang states his view without holding back.

"Mm." Qin Qingfeng nods and then says, "Then young friend, how about you and I take a trip together?"

Mm.

Chen Yang nods.

Then the two rush out together, flying towards the city wall of the border city.

The area around the border city is a large open space, and as the two dash out from the forest, they are a noticeable target, immediately spotted by the soldiers on the city wall.

As they approach within a hundred meters of the wall, reprimands come from above.

"The border city is a restricted area, unauthorized entry is not allowed!"

Qin Qingfeng does not act rashly, both he and Chen Yang stand with hands behind their backs up in the air.

Maintaining a height parallel to the soldiers.

"Where is your City Lord?" Qin Qingfeng asks in return.

"May I ask, who are you, honorable elder? Please state your names, and I will report to the City Lord right away!" the soldier says.

"Qin Qingfeng."

"Chen Yang."

The two directly state their names.

After that, they see a soldier leave the wall quickly to report.

Two or three minutes later, a middle-aged man dressed in luxurious attire, appearing to be around forty or fifty years old, comes onto the city wall.

This middle-aged man is surrounded by a group of soldiers, clearly indicating his extraordinary status.

After stepping onto the wall, the middle-aged man takes a good look at Qin Qingfeng and Chen Yang.

Then he speaks, "Esteemed friends from outside the city, what is your business with me?"

Upon hearing him speak, Chen Yang’s heart sinks slightly.

The other party doesn’t know who he is? Does this mean Prince Jingkang isn’t in the city?

"The old man and young friend wish to enter the city. City Lord, might we ask for convenience." Qin Qingfeng asks with a slight smile.

"Esteemed friends, I’m truly sorry. Normally, this border city is open for free entry and exit, but recent circumstances are special, and under top orders, I cannot open the city gates." The City Lord apologizes with hands cupped.

He clearly recognizes Qin Qingfeng’s remarkable strength, perhaps sensing it, otherwise he wouldn’t speak so politely.

"Since that’s the case, I won’t trouble the City Lord. Farewell."

Qin Qingfeng doesn’t insist. Hearing that they can’t enter the city, he immediately turns around and retreats in the direction they came from.

Chen Yang follows suit.

On the city wall, City Lord Huang Cheng lets out a sigh of relief seeing the two depart.

"It seems they aren’t the Crown Prince’s people. The Python King has strict orders that border control must be enforced, preventing anyone from entering or leaving the Da Jing territory." Huang Cheng recalls the Python King’s insistence from today, murmuring.

"City Lord, even if the Crown Prince is around, he’d be in the western border. How could that relate to our northern border? Isn’t the Python King overthinking it?"

An adjutant beside him overhears Huang Cheng’s murmur and can’t help but ask.

Huang Cheng glares at him: "What do you know? The other day, the Python King almost caught the Crown Prince."

"The Crown Prince deployed the Thousand-Mile Blink technique, vanishing without a trace. That cultivation technique is remarkable, and could appear at any location."

"And considering the current worsening condition of His Majesty, at such a critical moment, how could the Python King not be cautious?"

The adjutant, though reprimanded, does not look displeased, instead showing an excited expression.
