Lin Qing sneaked out of the cave. When she saw Zhou Pi's movements, she slightly nodded her head and said, "This place is not a place where we can stay for long. Let's leave quickly."

"Yes," Zhou Pi said respectfully as he followed behind Lin Qing.

Naturally, Lin Qing wouldn't stay here for long. She quickly headed towards the location of the yellow mountain.

In the time it took for half a cup of tea to boil, Lin Qing and Zhou Pi appeared before Huang Shan and the others.

When they saw Lin Qing arrive, the expressions of Huang Shan and the rest stiffened as they hurriedly cupped their fists together and said: "Greetings, Branch Lord!"

Smiling faintly, Lin Qing waved her hand and said faintly, "Next time, don't be like this."

"Yes." Huang Shan's face was expressionless, and there was no change in his expression. After that, he said, "I wonder what the Branch Lord has discovered during this trip."

"I didn't discover anything. I just knew that the army there doesn't belong to the garrison troops of Red Leaf Town. It belongs to the Dragon Cavalry Army. They are the elite troops of Great Chu and are extremely powerful." Lin Qing solemnly said.

With their strength, it was impossible for them to fight against the Dragon Cavalry. One must know that the Dragon Cavalry was a secret army of the Great Chu, and every one of them was exceptionally brave and valiant. Ordinary martial artists were simply no match for them.

"Everyone, don't worry. They probably didn't come here to deal with us. It was just a coincidence that they came here. If their guess is correct, they probably won't attack us." Lin Qing hastily said.

Although Huang Shan and the rest had doubts in their hearts, they calmed down a lot upon hearing Lin Qing's words.

"Huang Shan, send someone back and tell the remaining members of the Tiger Gang not to send anyone wandering around here. At the same time, be on their guard." Lin Qing turned to Huang Shan and said indifferently.

"Okay." Huang Shan cupped his fist, said something and went down to give his instructions.

After instructing Huang Shan on how to proceed, Lin Qing turned around to look at the crowd and said, "Let's hurry up and set off."

With that, Lin Qing stomped on the ground and headed in the direction of Red Leaf Town.

When the members of the Tiger Gang heard this, their spirits were also lifted as they quickly followed.

Four hours later, Lin Qing and her group had already left the northwest dense forest and arrived at the outskirts of Red Leaf Town.

Reaching this step, Lin Qing and the rest also stopped. Looking at the road that Red Leaf Town was bound to take, they could not help but be silent.

Although Red Leaf Town was only a town, the people under its jurisdiction numbered more than a hundred thousand. It had an extremely large population, and in order to stabilize itself, it had built a city wall.

And now, at the city gate, there were dozens of soldiers setting up checkpoints. Needless to say, one could tell what they were doing. Clearly, they were searching for the remnants of the Blue Bamboo Gang and the Tiger Gang.

Lin Qing and the rest quietly watched the scene while standing in the dense forest near the city wall.

Not long after, another figure appeared in Lin Qing's field of vision. When he reached the vicinity of the forest, he quickly walked over and greeted Lin Qing with a cupped fist, "This subordinate pays his respect to the Branch Lord."

Waving her hand, Lin Qing indifferently said, "There's no need to be overly courteous. What's the situation inside?"

This person, Night Walker, tightened his expression and quickly said, "Red Leaf Town is very heavily fortified. Along the way, there are dozens of checkpoints and patrolling soldiers. If there is no special method, then I'm afraid …"

When Lin Qing heard this, his eyebrows knitted together. Although he had already thought of the current situation, when he saw the actual scene before him, his heart was in turmoil.

But even so, Lin Qing's expression did not change in the slightest. Instead, she indifferently said, "I understand. You should continue to investigate."

"Yes." That person, Night Walker, respectfully clasped his fist and left.

After seeing Ye Chen leave, Lin Qing turned around and looked at the fifty or so members of the Tiger Gang who were watching her closely. She then said, "First, find a place to rest. We will act during the night."

"Okay." The fifty people replied respectfully in a low voice before walking into the forest.

After arriving at the dense forest, Lin Qing found a slightly secluded area. She sat down cross-legged and scanned her surroundings, but didn't find anything out of the ordinary. Only after that did she close her eyes and enter a state of cultivation.

However, Lin Qing did not fully concentrate on her cultivation and instead remained vigilant. If there were any changes in the outside world, Lin Qing would quickly wake up.

The sun rose and set. On that day, over fifty members of the Tiger Gang gathered in the dense forest. When they were hungry, they ate a few mouthfuls of dry food. When they were thirsty, they drank a few mouthfuls from nearby water sources.

A full moon was suspended above the branches, emitting a chilly afterglow. When Lin Qing suddenly opened her eyes, a faint ray of light was hidden deep within Lin Qing's eyes, making her appear rather mysterious.

Seeing that it was already dark, Lin Qing knew that it was already too late if it wasn't for the help of the moonlight.

Without further ado, Lin Qing quickly stood up and pressed the treasured phoenix sword at her waist.

As Lin Qing stood up, over fifty elite members of the Tiger Gang also stood up. Every single one of them revealed a solemn expression. They all knew that if they were to make a move, if they were not careful, it was extremely likely that they would die.

Lin Qing turned around and glanced at the members of the Tiger Gang. When she saw that they were ready and didn't need to say anything, she couldn't help but reveal a smile. She waved her hand and said, "Let's go."

After she finished speaking, Lin Qing took the lead and walked out. The elites of the Tiger Faction and over fifty of them followed closely behind. After a short while, they arrived near the city walls.

Glancing at the city wall, Lin Qing then glanced at the flames that were ignited when she stomped on the city wall. The flames were extremely resplendent and seemed to cover almost every inch of the area beneath it.

At the place where the flames were burning, there were two black shadows constantly swaying. It was obvious that these two black shadows were soldiers guarding the city walls.

"Do you have a bow and arrow?" Lin Qing whispered to the group behind her.

"Yes," Huang Shan immediately replied.

"Quick, bring them over." Lin Qing looked at the two men who had fallen near the fire at the top of the city wall and coldly said.

"Yes!" Huang Shan replied respectfully and went down to give his instructions. After a short while, Huang Shan's figure returned. However, there was a black giant bow in his hand.

"The bow and arrow have been obtained." Just as Huang Shan arrived nearby, he presented the huge bow in his hand to Lin Qing as he respectfully said this.

Lin Qing did not act pretentiously. She extended her hand and took the bow. Sensing that the bow was extraordinary, Lin Qing inwardly praised it, "It should be a good bow. The only pity is that it does not suit me."
