With the help of Wen Yan and Tang Xin, it was easier for the young maid Yingzi to be accepted by others. She even ran home to take a few glances, but never dared to acknowledge her identity, returning with red eyes.

The night passed very peacefully, perhaps due to the completion of the sacrificial rites. The entire tribe was immersed in joy, and people in the village celebrated until late into the night before finally returning to their homes to rest.

In the end, nothing unexpected happened, and the night passed.

Early the next day, Qin Fang and his companions set off early on the mountain road back to the city. Tang Zhan had escaped, and Tang Sect's people could come chasing at any time, so it was better to leave this mountain quickly.

The group immediately set off, heading out of the vast mountains...

However, at this time, a surprising piece of news came—the most respected High Priest Darren in the mountains had been called by the gods and had sacrificed himself, returning to the embrace of the deities.

Some witnessed High Priest Darren leap devoutly from the very cliff where the sacrifice took place yesterday, plunging into the abyss below...

And so, after deceiving the mountain folk for over a decade, High Priest Darren left this world in a most glorious manner, returning to the embrace of the deity he worshiped.

The sizable sacrificial team he organized also disappeared mysteriously, leaving the entire village clean as if everyone had vanished overnight.

But compared to High Priest Darren, these people seemed insignificant, and no one bothered to deliberately investigate the truth behind this matter.

Of course, all this was the handiwork of Qin Fang. He simply needed to assume the guise of High Priest Darren, "accidentally" appear before certain individuals, then find a way to hold their attention and lead them to that cliff before taking a deep dive... And with that, the whole affair was considered resolved.

It was indeed High Priest Darren who leapt down, but not alive—he was already a corpse that had been dead for a night.

For an ordinary person, pulling off such a trick might not be very credible, but for Qin Fang, it was much simpler, as he was also skilled in the Qianmen Illusion Technique.

Qin Fang's Cheating Skills were about to advance to the Intermediate level. Paired with the Qianji Ring that he acquired from High Priest Darren, which added +1 to his Cheating Skills, his ability jumped another level, moving from Beginner to Intermediate, and was even close to reaching the Advanced level of Cheating Skills...

It must be said that the Qianji Ring, one of the prized treasures of the Thousand Gate, with its +1 skill in Cheating Techniques, seemed inconspicuous at first, but its impact became terrifying as one progressed further.

Just imagine, if Qin Fang were to raise his Cheating Skills to the Grandmaster-level, then wearing this Qianji Ring would automatically elevate his skills to an even higher level of Grandmaster...

The extent of power that Grandmaster-level Cheating Skills could reach, Qin Fang dared not imagine for the moment, yet it was probably not far off compared to the almost demonically intelligent Zhuge Kongming.

If Qin Fang were to also master the Qimen Dunjia Technique, his strength would become even more frightening...

Japans's Ninjas, having merely learned a fraction of the Qimen Dunjia, developed the fantastic and bizarre art of Ninjutsu, earning an incredibly fearsome reputation among international assassins and killers.

Should Qin Fang master the complete Qimen Dunjia, the path to becoming the King of Assassins would be made much smoother...

With Cheating Skills nearing Advanced level, the mastery of the Qianmen Illusion Technique would become more proficient and realistic. The villagers who happened to witness such a scene could only stare dumbfounded as their highly respected High Priest Darren leapt from the cliff, entering into the embrace of the gods...

No one found anything abnormal about this. The cliff had been specifically selected by High Priest Darren as the sacred site for sacrifice. He had once claimed that it was the place closest to the deities, that by leaping from here, one could enter into their embrace...

Whether his words were true or false cannot be contested, as those who leapt would not survive. Naturally, no one could refute his claim with facts, allowing such a deception to go unbroken for more than a decade.

The matter of High Priest Darren thus came to an end, resolved with excessive calmness and tranquility. This was also why Qin Fang deliberately left the corpse there so it would serve its purpose.

Having dealt with everything, Qin Fang quickly sneaked back into the tribe and just in time to meet up with his companions, continuing their journey out of the mountains.

The group that entered the mountains as five had now become seven, adding two more women, Tang Xin and Yingzi...

Wrong, there was one more!

"Zhuoma..."

Upon seeing Xiaolajiao (Little Chili) Zhuoma with her very rustic floral cloth bundle on her back, Tang Xin couldn't help but exclaim in surprise.

The world beyond the mountains was too alien to her, and even though she knew that Qin Fang would certainly help her, she still felt nervous at heart. Having a companion would make it easier for her to accept everything.

Although Wen Yan was very kind to her, it was difficult for two people from different worlds to fully understand each other's feelings, and the arrival of Yingzi, a girl from the mountains, didn't change much either.

Zhuoma had been her dear sister for many years, and they shared a very close bond. Tang Xin usually confided everything to Zhuoma, who never kept any secrets from her either. If Xiaolajiao (Little Chili) Zhuoma would accompany her, Tang Xin felt that she would be able to adjust more easily... It was just that Zhuoma had initially rejected her proposal. Although Tang Xin didn't blame Zhuoma, she still felt somewhat depressed.

But now, Zhuoma appeared before her, carrying that little bundle and not riding her beloved pony, so Tang Xin understood Zhuoma's intent.

"You want to come with us too?"

Qin Fang gave Zhuoma a strange look and asked.

He was aware that Tang Xin had once asked Zhuoma to leave the mountain with them, but at that time, Zhuoma did not agree and went straight back to the Gelan Tribe.

Qin Fang thought he wouldn't see this arrogant, queen-like Xiaolajiao (Little Chili) again, but unexpectedly, after one night, she had caught up to them, and even ran ahead to wait for them.

"I'm worried about my master going out alone, I want to stay with her... I won't let you succeed!"

This little girl seemed quite wary of Qin Fang, clutching Tang Xin's arm firmly and declaring her intentions while giving Qin Fang a look as if guarding against a thief, leaving him utterly speechless.

"Suit yourself..."

Qin Fang felt quite embarrassed; he did have some feelings for Tang Xin, but not to the extent of a starving tiger pouncing on its prey. Most importantly, their True Qi could harmonize with each other, and even holding hands would constantly enhance their internal True Qi strength.

Apart from that, Qin Fang didn't really have any other intentions toward Tang Xin at the moment, although he couldn't guarantee that would never change. However, being guarded against like a thief by this girl was truly speechless.

Though they weren't entirely in agreement, Qin Fang wasn't about to refuse Zhuoma's desire to accompany them. After all, whether it was one sheep or a herd, it didn't make much difference...

Given Xiaolajiao (Little Chili) Zhuoma's temperament, if Qin Fang refused her company, she would surely leave the mountain and follow on her own anyway. With her relatively naive nature, she might end up being taken advantage of... or even swindled while naively counting money for her deceivers.

If something happened to Zhuoma, Tang Xin would likely feel uneasy too. So rather than adding complications for himself later, it was better to take her along now. At least, Qin Fang could still control this little girl—if she disobeyed, he would spank her fiercely!

The little girl's buttocks were quite perky and the flesh was just right, with a very good feel. Recalling the sensation of spanking, Qin Fang couldn't help but glance slyly toward the girl's pert little bottom...

"Pervert..."

The little girl was already on guard against Qin Fang, and as soon as she noticed the look in his eyes, she cried out indignantly and immediately hid behind her master, Tang Xin.

"Hahaha..."

Everyone present, except for Yingzi who had followed later, knew about Qin Fang spanking Zhuoma. At the little girl's humorous reaction, they all couldn't help but burst into laughter...

Laughter aside, having had their fun, they temporarily put aside their previous grievances and gathered together to continue their journey down the mountain.

The group of seven expanded once more, becoming a group of eight. Uncle Wen and his wife were a pair. Tang Xin and Zhuoma were close sisters. Wen Yan was with the timid Yingzi, and Qin Fang walked alongside Song Qingshan. Although the two men appeared to be chatting casually, their eyes were always vigilantly scanning their surroundings.

The closer they got to descending the mountain, the less relaxed they became... none could guarantee that the people of the Tang Sect wouldn't catch up so quickly.

There were many powerful experts in the Tang Sect, and people like Tang Nan and Tang Zhan, who were Grandmaster-level experts, were only part of the younger generation. Above them were Grandmaster-level powerhouses which Qin Fang was not capable of confronting...

If such a person appeared, Qin Fang and Song Qingshan might not be able to handle them together, considering that the Tang Sect had more than just one or two of such masters!

Not to mention, apart from the people of the Tang Sect, the fierce natives in the mountains were not easy to deal with either. Who could be certain that someone like Zhuoma, who had tried to claim a bride, wouldn't appear on their path?

Fortunately, their worries did not come to pass. It was not until Qin Fang and his companions successfully exited the mountain that he and Song Qingshan both secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
