It has to be said that Huo Yuhao and He Caitou, two guys who like to study soul guides, have developed a lot of useful things after reading the Tang Sect’s 100 Solutions to Hidden Weapons.

This also further confirmed Tang Lan’s idea.

The principles of soul guides and Tang Sect hidden weapons can be integrated.

At this time, Tang Lan and others were still about thirty miles away from Yangjiao Mountain.

Along the way, the group eliminated more than a dozen spies before arriving at the foot of Yangjiao Mountain.

The reason why Yangjiao Mountain is named Yangjiao Mountain is because this mountain range stretches for dozens of miles from south to north.

But if you enter from the foot of the mountain on the south side, you will see two highest peaks at the top of the mountain range, like two goat horns reaching into the sky.

This is naturally a dangerous place that is easy to defend but difficult to attack.

Because the soul masters here once robbed passing soul master caravans, Hou Luyuan City and the surrounding small towns gathered soul masters and troops to carry out clearing operations against them.

But in the end they didn’t get any benefit and couldn’t even get halfway up the mountain.

Because of the heavy casualties, everyone chose to give up temporarily.

Later, the reason why no one dared to come here to fight the bandits was, in Tang Lan’s opinion, because these guys had revealed the name of the Crazy Lion Sect.

In other words, they chose to join the Crazy Lion Sect.

But under the control of the Mad Lion Sect, they have not frequently robbed passing caravans in recent years.

This strange situation has persisted till now. (End of this chapter)

Chapter 957 Sneaking into the Village

“We will encounter hostile soul masters in the village on the way up the mountain. Remember, do not show mercy.”

“If they had sent the signal in time, there would have been greater casualties on our side.”

“action!”

Tang Lan stood at the foot of the mountain, glanced at the steep mountains above, and gave orders very quickly.

Including Tang Lan, a total of thirty-six people completely blended into the darkness, infiltrating the mountain silently.

Muffled groans could be heard from time to time along the way, but they could not stop Tang Lan and the others.

After easily dealing with the sentries along the way, everyone finally reached the halfway point of the mountain.

When they got up there, Tang Lan and the others discovered that there was a very spacious stone road that had been dug out around them, and there were even obvious traces of recent wheel tracks around it.

“This trace is obviously not left by just one car. It looks like there must be no less than ten cars.”

“And they came up in the last two days. There is no mainland under this mountain. It seems that the real road has been hidden by them.”

Tang Lan leaned down, looked at the tire tracks on the ground, then glanced back at the dense bushes below, and then spoke.

The Yangjiao Mountain, viewed from the front, is a huge mountain range covered with lush vegetation, with only a vaguely visible human-shaped path leading up the mountain.

But Tang Lan and others would not think that these were just some small paths. There must be a road in the dense woods that only they knew about, which could be used for carriages to go up the mountain.

But the mountains stretch northward for dozens of miles, and finding this road is almost impossible.

But even so, they could tell that many carriages had indeed come here.

Tang Lan knew without guessing that this must be the carriage of the people from the Crazy Lion Sect.

There is a high probability that all the supplies looted from the Tang Clan’s convoy were brought to the mountain.

At this moment, the sound of conversation suddenly came from the distance, attracting the attention of Tang Lan and others.

Almost tacitly, everyone hid in the bushes on the roadside, holding their breath and observing secretly.

“Those carriages are full of good stuff. If we share even a little of it, it would be worth the soul coins you and I have earned here over the years.”

“Yeah, it’s a pity that the leader wouldn’t let us move, saying that all these things must be sent back to the Crazy Lion Sect.”

Several people were talking to each other and were walking slowly towards where Tang Lan was waiting with spears in their hands.

The third person in the six-member team immediately spoke up: “They keep saying that we are all disciples of the Crazy Lion Sect, but now they are unwilling to share even this little thing with us.”

“To put it bluntly, these guys just don’t treat us as their own people. They are really a bunch of ungrateful people. It’s a pity that our boss is so open-hearted to them.”

Whoosh! !

At this moment, dozens of black shadows jumped out from the bushes at the same time. Strangely, no one resisted or shouted.

In fact, it was Huo Yuhao in the darkness who launched a mental attack.

After a brief period of confusion, these people woke up to find a sharp dagger on their necks.

“You, who are you!”

The skinny middle-aged man who seemed to be the leader among the six people also had a look of shock on his face.

They never expected that someone would appear here in the middle of the night and hold all of them hostage.

“Tell me, where are those supply trucks you mentioned? Where is the big boss you mentioned?”

Jiang Nannan held a dagger in her hand and asked the person in front of her with a cold voice.

As he spoke, the dagger in his hand became slightly heavier, even cutting a bloody mark on the opponent’s neck.

“I, I said!”

“There are seven cargo wagons carrying supplies in total. They are now in the warehouse on the east side of the village.”

“Our boss is known as the Poker King Zhuoer, and is a level 89 Soul Douluo. He is currently in the reception room entertaining several elders from the Crazy Lion Sect.”

The man’s legs were shaking as he quickly answered.

“Take us there, but I have to warn you that if you dare to do anything, I will be the first to cut your neck.”

Realizing that the man in front of her was a coward and afraid of death, Jiang Nannan gave Tang Lan a questioning look.

After seeing Tang Lan nodded in agreement, he decided to spare his life.

Seeing that the leader had chosen to give up resistance, the five people behind him also dropped their weapons one after another.

Later, except for the captain, the other five were knocked unconscious one after another, tied up and trapped deep in the woods with their mouths gagged.

Tang Lan and others separated five people and asked them to change into each other’s clothes and continue to move forward.

The rest of the people automatically looked for other patrol teams around, changed into their clothes in the same way and blended in with them.

Tang Lan was accompanied by Tang Ya, Jiang Nannan, Ma Xiaotao and Tang Wutong.

As for Xiaoxiao, she, Huo Yuhao, Cai Tou and others were outside dealing with the guards around them.

In one hour, all the guards here will be replaced and eliminated.

“Huh? Old Qiao, didn’t you just take people out to look for the hill? Why are you back again?”

As soon as everyone arrived at the checkpoint of the mountain stronghold, several guards nearby looked at Old Joe, who was walking in front, with confusion.

At this moment, behind Old Qiao, the dagger held by Jiang Nannan was firmly pressed against his back.

“Ahahaha, I suddenly forgot. Liu Er said he wanted to switch shifts with me today. They have something to do tomorrow. I just remembered it after I arrived.”

The middle-aged man called Lao Qiao felt a chill in the back of his heart and hurriedly explained.

“So that’s how it is. Well then, brothers, go to bed early. This isn’t a peaceful time. We never know which force will attack our stronghold again.”

“Only by conserving your energy can you achieve the first merit. When that time comes, Old Joe, don’t forget your brothers!”

The leader at the checkpoint laughed and joked with Old Joe.

“Of course, let’s go in first!”

Old Joe gave a rather stiff smile, but luckily it was very dark and the other party couldn’t tell any difference at all.

After entering the mountain stronghold, Tang Lan and others understood why it was so difficult for all forces to conquer this place.

There are more than 800 people here, and more than 200 of them are soul masters.

There are dozens of Soul Emperors, more than twenty Soul Saints, and even five Soul Douluos.

It is said that the leader’s martial spirit is even proficient in a secret technique that can improve his strength in a short period of time.

This situation is very similar to Hou Li’s before. In critical moments, he can even fight against Titled Douluo for a short period of time.

This is also the reason why that guy was able to occupy this place for so many years.

But today he met Tang Lan, so he could only consider himself unlucky.

The group swaggered along the way, missing several patrol teams, and arrived at the warehouse in the east very smoothly.

“Sure enough, all these supply wagons are here! These guys are so abominable.”

Ma Xiaotao looked at the carriage in the warehouse and the horses tied beside it, and immediately spoke angrily. (End of this chapter)

Chapter 958: Capture the thief first and capture the king first

“These things are all ours, they definitely can’t take them away. It seems like we made the right choice tonight!”

There was also a hint of anger in Tang Ya’s eyes.

He stepped forward to check and found that these were indeed the supplies that the Tang Sect needed, and said in a deep voice.

“Let’s go to the meeting hall he mentioned!”

“If we go too late, there is a good chance that the elders of the Crazy Lion Sect will have the opportunity to escape during the chaos.”

Tang Lan took a look at the sky and then gave the order.

However, the man named Lao Qiao was the first to back out.

He said, “I’m afraid this won’t work. I’m just a small patrol captain and I don’t have the right to enter there.”

However, this guy only said half of it and swallowed the words back.

Because he found that everyone was looking at him with unfriendly eyes.

Jiang Nannan snorted coldly and said, “Some things are beyond your control. Just walk ahead and we will take care of the rest.”

This sentence was said with full of murderous intent, and for a moment the middle-aged man was unable to refute it.

At the moment, I could only grit my teeth and lead everyone along.

Soon everyone saw a group of buildings in the north. From a distance, the buildings here were not much different from those in the city.

Only when you are at the foot of the mountain can you not see the specific scenery on the mountain.

“Wait, outsiders are not allowed to enter here. Your patrol area does not include this place. Let’s go back!”

Soon, everyone was stopped by two Soul Emperors guarding the door.

These two people are one at level sixty-one and the other sixty-three.

But their appearance is 80% similar, they are actually twins.

The two men were tall but extremely fat. Standing there they looked like two mountains, giving off an oppressive feeling.

“Um, we, we have something important to report to the adults, because before dark we found a group of suspicious people at the foot of the mountain.”

“If you don’t let us pass, we will probably miss the opportunity to fight. I’m afraid the boss will definitely blame you two for this later.”

“I think you two should know very well what the boss’ temper is like.”

Old Joe spoke with an evasive look.

Although he didn’t have much momentum himself, these words still made the two fat men in front of him change color.

“Well, go in, but remember not to move around randomly. If you anger the boss, no one can protect you.”

The two fat men looked at each other, and finally chose to make way for Tang Lan and others.

After entering, Tang Lan discovered that most of the buildings in front were dark, with only a few spiritual places having faint soul-guided lights.

Apart from the two gatekeepers outside, no other patrol teams were seen inside.

The surroundings were extremely quiet, with only the faint sound of insects filling everyone’s ears.

“This is where the head of the family lives. It looks like the elders are still here!”

“Can I go now?”

Old Joe spoke with his body trembling.
