As for the Ziyao Stone that was in hand, Qin Fang naturally accepted it without any hesitation, tossing it into the Props Box, placing it alongside that piece of Galaxy Divine Iron.

"Ah, what a pity..."

After taking care of this Ziyao Stone, Qin Fang meticulously checked everything around, confirming that there was indeed nothing else here, and then sighed helplessly.

Several hundred years had passed, and this place was not completely sealed off. The erosion from centuries of wind and rain had damaged many treasures that were not easy to preserve, leaving only these two items that are resistant to decay.

From the treasures of Master of Yijian Fu Cailin, Qin Fang only managed to acquire these two items. As for the so-called Sword Dao inheritance, Qin Fang did not find it.

Or rather, Qin Fang had already obtained it before coming here... it just wasn't as mysterious as Cui Haoyu and Fu Qinglin imagined.

The words carved into the stone wall of the Sword Forest, with their iron strokes and silver hooks, allowed Qin Fang to comprehend a strand of Sword Qi, and every time Qin Fang shattered a chess piece in the Chess Sword Formation Remnant, he vaguely gained some fragmented insights into Sword Dao.

Qin Fang pondered that this is the wealth Master of Yijian Fu Cailin left for his descendants, and the more chess pieces one can shatter, the greater the rewards.

For a monster like Qin Fang, who destroyed all the chess pieces (of course, Qin Fang achieved this result by cheating)... the harvest is even more tremendous.

Previously, Qin Fang was pressured by those chess pieces and had no mind to sort out what he had obtained, but after using the Gatling Fire God Cannon, he was freed, allowing him to focus on comprehending some related aspects of Yijian, whereupon he discovered the hidden secrets within.

All three hundred-plus chess pieces ultimately fell under Qin Fang's sword and gun, resulting in significant gains, as if he had acquired a complete set of Yijian Swordsmanship.

However, this set of swordsmanship was quite scattered, and Qin Fang would need some time to fully integrate it. By then, he would have a set of swordsmanship comparable to the Demonic Divine Art.

This swordsmanship is likely the ultimate skill of Master of Yijian Fu Cailin, possibly a masterpiece he created in his later years, originally intending to pass it on to his descendants, but unexpectedly, it benefited Qin Fang, an outsider, instead.

After confirming there was nothing else of value, Qin Fang began to study how to leave here...

Returning to that Illusion Array was clearly something Qin Fang would not do, as that broken Illusion Array was not something he could break presently.

Moreover, this valley was clearly outside the range of the Sword Forest, and considering the not-so-pure intentions of Cui Haoyu and Fu Qinglin, Qin Fang figured it would be best not to show himself.

The commotion Qin Fang caused in the Illusion Array, Cui Haoyu and Fu Qinglin might not have seen it, but such intense gunfire might not have gone unnoticed.

Especially since Qin Fang hadn't shown up for so long, he estimated those two guys were already plotting against him, and going there now might not end well.

"Hmph, the two old guys, let them be arrogant for a while, next time I'll come to deal with them..."

Although Qin Fang's current strength was almost comparable to Grandmaster-level Experts, there was still some slight gap; facing the joint forces of two Great Grandmaster Level Experts, Qin Fang had no chance of victory.

Rather than being hunted by two great experts, it would be better to leave unnoticed, which would be much better... As for the future, after Qin Fang breaks through to the Grandmaster Level, he will naturally come back to trouble these two people.

This valley was very secluded, with its upper part covered by huge rocks, and the surroundings were likely places like cliffs, with only some very narrow crevices to pass through.

Clang~~

However, Qin Fang was quite satisfied with this, instantly summoning the Flowing Shadow Sword to his hand, and simultaneously taking out some specialized climbing tools from the Props Box.

Fortunately, he was prepared early on; these tools had been ready for a while, and they were now just coming in handy.

First, he used the tools to automatically shoot a grappling rope, threading it through the crevices above the cliff and shooting it out. Qin Fang tested it several times, and once it was stable, he used the rope along with the Flowing Shadow Sword in his hand as tools, swiftly flying towards the top of the cliff.

Although the process seemed thrilling, in reality, it was quite smooth, taking barely half a minute for Qin Fang to easily climb up the cliff.

The narrow crevice might be difficult for others to navigate, but Qin Fang simply used Metamorphosis to transform his body into a flat shape and easily slipped through.

Thus, Qin Fang climbed up the cliff unnoticed and then identified the direction, heading straight for the foot of Bagong Mountain...

...

Back at the Sword Forest, the experts from the Cui and Fu families were still waiting for any movement from within the stone door, each with a rather grim expression and slightly tense demeanor.

Of course, they had already been waiting for quite some time, but the stone door remained silent inside, as if not a single sound could be heard.

At this point, even Cui Haoyu and Fu Qinglin showed a hint of impatience, vaguely sensing that things seemed to have deviated from their initial expectations.

For thousands of years, the Chess Sword Formation Remnant had remained intact, with no one ever succeeding in unraveling it. Therefore, what the situation would be like once the remnant was cracked, even Cui Haoyu and Fu Qinglin were unsure.

But they vaguely felt that Qin Fang had cracked the remnant and obtained the swordsmanship legacy of Master of Yijian Fu Cailin, so he should be coming out by now.

Yet, the fact was, not only had Qin Fang not come out, but there was no movement from within.

Cui Haoyu and Fu Qinglin exchanged a glance, both showing considerable helplessness. The Chess Sword Formation Remnant, to those who had entered it, was a closed space.

Never mind the dark cave behind the stone door, if they tried to force their way in, the result would certainly be extraordinarily tragic.

For centuries, countless people had tried before, yet none succeeded, all meeting tragic ends... This is why Cui Haoyu and Fu Qinglin could only wait at the entrance.

Otherwise, they would have rushed in to capture him long ago, why bother waiting here painfully?

"Keep your eyes on it, as soon as he comes out, notify us immediately!"

Cui Haoyu's expression was quite dark, having spent so much effort and finally having the Chess Sword Formation Remnant cracked, yet Qin Fang seemed to have vanished.

It was impossible for the two Family Heads to remain here indefinitely, so they exchanged a glance and reluctantly instructed their elders before going to rest aside.

As a result, the elders appeared quite miserable, continuously standing there, highly focused, staring intently, not daring to move a bit.

The waiting dragged on from the afternoon to the evening, from daylight to Black Night... Behind the stone door, the dark cave remained silent, not a bit of movement.

Cui Haoyu and Fu Qinglin's faces turned green, vaguely feeling that things seemed to have gone wrong, the situation had seriously deviated from their expectations.

But at this time, even if they wanted to retreat, it was impossible. If they withdrew now, who knows if Qin Fang might suddenly emerge from inside.

If they missed this opportunity, it would indeed be too unfortunate... Ultimately, they could only grit their teeth, intending to persist against Qin Fang.

However... Qin Fang clearly didn't plan on waiting it out with them. He pinpointed the Fu Family Ancestral Home's location and chose to descend the mountain in the opposite direction.

Although the entire Bagong Mountain was Fu Family's territory, their manpower was limited, unable to cover every aspect. Perhaps more personnel were near the Fu Family's old residence, but other locations were different.

And the position Qin Fang chose to descend was by a cliff, usually sparsely populated, especially at such times and for someone as skilled as Qin Fang...

The experts from the Cui and Fu families were still guarding there awaiting a rabbit, while Qin Fang, supposed to be "a doomed rabbit," had already returned to Incheon Urban Area, leaving there at the fastest speed and heading back to Seoul in Korea.

For Qin Fang, though this trip to Incheon wasn't particularly pleasant, even risking life and death several times, the rewards were immensely significant.

His strength had seen considerable growth, even surpassing the level from when he first arrived... not in terms of realm, but in terms of strength level.

Simultaneously, Qin Fang harvested several extremely rare and valuable treasures, such as the formula for the Demon Blood Pill, Ziyao Stone, Yijian Swordsmanship, etc., marking crucial gains making the trip worthwhile.

Back in Seoul, seeing Qin Fang's safe return, Tang Feifei and the other two showed bright smiles, genuinely relieved and happy for his safety.

However, they also brought some good news for Qin Fang.

"You came back at the right time, we've completed our one-month exchange study and are preparing to return home!"

Originally, Tang Feifei and the other two had been in Korea for a month, and it was time for them to return.

Knowing Qin Fang had important matters to attend to, they had planned to bid him farewell and leave directly, but now that Qin Fang returned, it was just perfect to leave together.

"That's good too..."

Although this news wasn't exactly great, it was still good news for Qin Fang, given the tension with the Cui and Fu families. Tang Feifei and their departure counted as a blessing.

Otherwise, given the influence of these two families in Korea, even Qin Fang would find it somewhat troublesome. (To be continued. If you like this work, please visit Qidian (qidian.com) to recommend votes and monthly tickets; your support is my greatest motivation.)
