What?

Lu Ran was a bit confused.

He just came to say hello, how did it become a rescue mission?

Rescue the Qin Family?

"What happened to the Qin Family? How's Yaoyao? Is she hurt?" Lu Ran asked instinctively.

But as soon as he asked, Lu Ran realized he made a common sense mistake.

After global data transformation, there are no cases of old injuries not healing, even severe fractures will recover as soon as life points are restored.

This is also why high combat professionals are hard to kill from falls, the health points are too high!

As long as life points don't hit zero, recovery is possible!

It's considered one of the better experiences post-global data transformation.

"The Qin Family's affairs are a mistake I made in the past, Yaoyao shouldn't have to bear it. I intended to take Yaoyao and the Qin Family away from Black Fire City, but unexpectedly, in that brief delay, Yaoyao was taken." Qin Lie sighed and said.

Lu Ran was very surprised.

He asked, "Is the opposing force very strong? As the Grand Steward of the Celestial Path Alliance's Black Fire City branch, do they dare to touch the Qin Family? Doesn't the Celestial Path Alliance care?"

Qin Lie said with an embarrassed face, "That's why I said it's the Qin Family's affair, a trouble we caused ourselves. The Celestial Path Alliance, in terms of emotion and reason, doesn't have an obligation to intervene. With the national war imminent, I don't want the Celestial Path Alliance to stir up trouble, wasting time and effort on my matters."

As it stands now, if there was any other way, Qin Lie wouldn't have come to Lu Ran.

"I see, how is Yaoyao now?" Lu Ran asked.

"She's had her communications restricted, but she's not dead. The specifics, I'm not sure." Qin Lie said worriedly.

"Understood, do you know where they are?" Lu Ran asked.

"Yes, I know, it's at Nantiao Mountain, the guild stronghold of Four Directions Stronghold is there." Qin Lie said urgently.

"Alright, take me there!" Lu Ran said eagerly.

He doesn't have many friends in this world.

Qin Wuyao counts as one.

Ye Hongyi, Liu Xinxin, Lei Tai, and Yu Qingcang can only be counted as brother and sister.

The care they showed Lu Ran, he took to heart, and was very grateful, but when it comes to genuine friends, Qin Wuyao is one of the rare few.

That night.

Lu Ran and Qin Lie traveled via the teleportation array to the northwest Nantiao Mountain.

Nantiao Mountain area is a mid-level monster zone.

The wandering wild monsters here are generally level thirty to forty.

It was also through Qin Lie that Lu Ran learned.

The guild stronghold is a special existence.

They are different from towns, the guild leader has the right to establish them.

Most guilds rely on the main city.

Convenient, fast, and safe.

But some guilds choose the wilderness, amidst beautiful scenery, to set up camp.

Four Directions Stronghold is one of them.

This guild isn't famous, but compared to the Four Major Guilds, it doesn't rank highly.

Beneath the Four Major Guilds, the power of Four Directions Stronghold isn't small.

Lu Ran doesn't know what kind of grievances Qin Lie has with Four Directions Stronghold, and he isn't here to resolve grievances, his goal is simple, to safely bring Qin Wuyao out.

And nowadays, Lu Ran has that capability!

In a valley in Nantiao Mountain, there is the stronghold of Four Directions Stronghold.

"Don't monsters spawn inside guild strongholds?" Lu Ran asked curiously, looking at Four Directions Stronghold in the distance.

"No, establishing a guild stronghold in the wild requires some strict conditions, the selected site needs data support, then once the area is cleared of monsters, a guild stronghold can be set up. After establishment, the stronghold is at the level of a secondary main city, capable of setting up shields, defenses, and so on, and monsters won't spawn inside the stronghold." Qin Lie explained.

This is similar to a main city.

No monsters spawn in the main cities.

"But there's no dungeon hall inside a guild stronghold, isn't that inconvenient? Yet these guilds still insist on setting up strongholds in the wild, it's really strange." Lu Ran muttered.

"It's actually no problem because inside the guild stronghold, there are teleportation arrays for guild members to use, connecting to each main city." Qin Lie said.

Qin Lie was quite knowledgeable about this.

He answered everything Lu Ran asked.

"I see, let's go over there." Lu Ran nodded.

"Wait, just...just go over like this?" Qin Lie was startled.

This is too bold!

Talking about rescuing someone, but going over openly to confront them, this approach seems a bit off, right?

Qin Lie was aware of Lu Ran's entry in the records.

But the new entries Lu Ran unlocked and his current abilities, Qin Lie knew nothing about.

Also being worried about his daughter Qin Wuyao.

He didn't even know that Elf Wings belonged to Lu Ran, nor did he have the mind to know, let alone knowing Lu Ran could casually summon the entire Elf Race for help!

He also didn't know that Lu Ran now carried two hundred thousand undead army!

Nor did he know that on Lu Ran's wrist, there was a Titan Python!

Even more unknown was that the Dark Elf Queen Sillor was in Lu Ran's space!

That was a level 100 Dark Elf Queen!

"Yes, we'll just go like this, I'll handle it." Lu Ran nodded and said.

After speaking, Lu Ran led the way forward.

But at this moment.

The communication device suddenly received a message.

Lu Ran glanced at it and saw it was Liu Xinxin.

He immediately slapped his forehead and said, "Awkward, I forgot to inform Xinxin and the others."

Liu Xinxin: "Early in the morning, where have you gone? I thought you went to the academy, but you didn't, where did you go?"

Lu Ran hurriedly explained the situation briefly.

After saying that, Lu Ran pondered about asking Liu Xinxin and the others if they could help.

After all.

Handling the Four Major Guilds would be much simpler.

If Lu Ran had to deal with it, as a small fry, he'd have to rely on his fists.

Fighting wouldn't be as simple as killing a few people.

Even the reason behind Qin Lie and Four Directions Stronghold's enmity hasn't been clarified, randomly killing for the Qin Family wouldn't be worth it.

But as Lu Ran hesitated.

A new message from Liu Xinxin came through: "First, go see the situation, don't be hasty to take action, stabilize the situation, and ensure Qin Wuyao's safety. I'll be there shortly!"

Lu Ran was taken aback.

Before he could reply.

Ye Hongyi sent a message: "What is Four Directions Stronghold, little brother, you run into trouble and don't tell your sister? Wait, sis is going to tear down their guild stronghold!"

Uh...

Lu Ran's mouth twitched.

Even Lei Tai sent a message.

Just a simple sentence: "The National Defense Army will be there soon!"

At Lu Ran's house.

Ye Hongyi, Liu Xinxin, and Lei Tai looked at each other.

"It's rare for Lu Ran to encounter a problem, it must be resolved with full force." Lei Tai said solemnly.

"And the spectacle, it must be grand!" Ye Hongyi raised her eyebrows and said.

Liu Xinxin glanced at the communication device.

Then looked again at Ye Hongyi and Lei Tai.

Afterwards, sent a message to Yu Qingcang: "Lu Ran ran into trouble, what does your Celestial Path Alliance say?"

Upon receiving the message, Yu Qingcang immediately put down everything he was doing.

After understanding the situation.

He said solemnly: "Qin Lie is a person of our Celestial Path Alliance, and now that Lu Ran is involved, this Four Directions Stronghold...what is it? We must go have a look!"
