Moon Lake Villa District.
The night was tranquil, outside the window, a cool moonlight spilled in, illuminating the bed.
Qin Yang's fingers moved slightly as he slowly opened his eyes; this was an extremely clean and tidy bedroom, with a crystal chandelier hanging overhead.
"Ugh..."
Qin Yang was about to get up when a burning pain shot through his back.
"Qin Yang, you're awake?"
Sun Tiantian, who had been keeping watch by the bedside, heard the movement and woke up, her bright eyes shining as she looked at Qin Yang with joy.
"Mm, where is this?"
Qin Yang surveyed the tidy bedroom in front of him.
"This is my home, just rest a bit more." Sun Tiantian said with a smile.
Qin Yang was currently half-naked, and he realized his situation, quickly displaying a quirky expression.
"Ahem, did you undress me?" Qin Yang coughed dryly, asking.
Sun Tiantian's face turned red, and she said, "You're heavy like a pig, how could I undress you alone? Your back is injured, Qingqing and I couldn't just leave it, so we applied some Yunnan Baiyao on you."
Qin Yang nodded and was about to speak when the bedroom door opened, and Su Qingqing entered with a bowl of chicken soup.
"You're awake, just in time, have some while it's hot."
Su Qingqing handed the chicken soup to Qin Yang.
"Thank you both."
Qin Yang felt warmth in his heart and without fuss, took the chicken soup and gulped it down.
"Haha, you're quite lucky indeed; very few people get to taste the craftsmanship of the great school belle Su." Sun Tiantian said with a smile.
"The taste was quite good."
Qin Yang smiled, placing the empty bowl on the bedside table.
"Is your back injury serious? Do you need to go to the hospital?" Sun Tiantian asked.
"No worries, I'm a doctor myself."
Qin Yang smiled; he had recently advanced to the Early Stage of Immortal Warrior, capable of using Mana for healing. This was the first time he got injured on Earth; it seemed he underestimated this world.
"What exactly is the background of Zhang Langqiang and his group?"
Qin Yang gazed intensely at the two women, inquiring.
Su Qingqing and Sun Tiantian exchanged a glance. Qin Yang had now offended Zhang Langqiang, so some things had to be revealed to him.
"Have you heard of the Fire Wolf Gang?"
Sun Tiantian asked.
"No." Qin Yang shook his head.
"Yunshui City has a total of three significant Ancient Martial Level forces, which are the Fire Wolf Gang, Flying Eagle Gang, and Cyan Wood Sect."
"Fire Wolf Gang, Flying Eagle Gang, Cyan Wood Sect?"
Qin Yang murmured as he repeated the names.
"Yes, Zhang Langqiang and his fellows belong to the Fire Wolf Gang; it's said that within the Fire Wolf Gang, there are also distinctions among the four Golden Wing Wolf Guards and the thirteen Silver Guards—all of whom are very formidable." Sun Tiantian continued.
"The person beside Zhang Langqiang today, everyone called him Brother Nine; he should be ranked ninth among the Silver Guards of the Fire Wolf Gang, don't you think?" Qin Yang thought for a moment and said.
The two women exchanged another glance, nodding as they agreed with Qin Yang's deduction.
Qin Yang's brows slightly furrowed; ranked ninth was already not weak, so those ranked ahead must be even stronger.
"Qin Yang, be careful. My father mentioned that those Golden Wing Wolf Guards might be quasi-Yellow Tier Ancient Martial Artists."
Su Qingqing hesitated for a moment, biting her lip as she shared a term that ordinary people rarely encounter with Qin Yang.
"Ancient Martial Artist?"
Qin Yang was taken aback; this term was also unfamiliar to him.
"Yes."
Su Qingqing nodded, her pretty face slightly serious, saying, "The Chinese culture has a long history; in some famous mountains and rivers, there are still hidden extraordinary people. These unique individuals are Ancient Martial Artists, and the sects they form are referred to as Ancient Martial Sects."
"Most Ancient Martial Artists are part of sects; disciples of Ancient Martial Sects rarely descend from the mountains, so ordinary people have no idea about the existence of such groups in the world."
"However, there are some Independent Practitioner Ancient Martial Artists who don't prefer cultivating deep in the mountains, instead, they indulge in the urban nightlife. Among these individuals, some become bodyguards for certain wealthy individuals in exchange for high fees, while others collaborate with the government, going on special assignments."
"Furthermore, even though Ancient Martial Artists mainly reside in secluded mountains, they also wield considerable power in the mundane world. Some top executives in large corporations are their Outer Disciples; after all, Ancient Martial Artists require many worldly resources for cultivation."
Qin Yang pondered for a while, nodded, and then asked, "Ancient Martial Artists should have levels too, right?"
"Yes, I've heard that in the world of Ancient Martial Artists, they are divided into Entry Level, Yellow Tier, Profound Tier, Earth Tier, and Celestial Tier. Entry Level is the lowest, marking your distinction from ordinary people, while Celestial Tier is the highest. From Yellow Tier to Celestial Tier, each tier has Early Stage, Middle Stage, and Late Stage divisions." Su Qingqing explained.
"What tier is that Ninth Silver Guard at today?" Qin Yang's brows slightly furrowed, asking.
"He should barely have stepped into the threshold of Ancient Martial Artists, considered an Entry Level Ancient Martial Artist." Su Qingqing said.
Upon hearing this, Qin Yang nodded, his gaze slightly sharpening. The Ninth Silver Guard he exchanged blows with was fairly skilled, unexpectedly just barely stepped into the Ancient Martial threshold.
"Qin Yang, don't worry; I'm always on your side. Although the Fire Wolf Gang is powerful, they don't have total control over Yunshui City."
Sun Tiantian worried these words might have a significant impact on Qin Yang, so she comforted him.
"Haha, it's not really fear."
Qin Yang shook his head, a slight curve forming at the corner of his mouth. The Immortal Cultivation World was even more brutal than now, yet he was never afraid; there's even less reason to fear on a relatively peaceful Earth.
