"Stop!"

When Lin Shinan saw that his wife, Shadow, was being restrained, he became anxious, ignoring his own injuries and wanting to rush over.

This couple was very much in love, willing to risk their lives for each other. Naturally, Lin Shinan didn't want to see Shadow get hurt, and at this moment, he cared about nothing else.

"Don't move if you don't want to die... I mean you no harm!"

Qin Tiannan didn't move at all but spoke lightly, "As long as you answer a few questions, I will not only let you go but also tell you where to find the Corpse Mushroom..."

"What?"

Hearing Qin Tiannan's words, Lin Shinan couldn't suppress his shock, and even Shadow, who was restrained, widened her eyes in disbelief.

They had gone through great hardships to come to Devil's Island for the sole purpose of finding the Corpse Mushroom.

But in just one or two days here, not only did they fail to find the mushroom, but they also encountered several life-threatening situations. If not for their perfect teamwork and considerable skill, they might already have perished on Devil's Island, let alone found any trace of the mushroom.

Unexpectedly, a person appeared out of nowhere, not only powerful enough to terrify them but also immediately pointing out their goal, which filled them with shock.

And knowing that the person only needed a few answers from them to reveal the location of the Corpse Mushroom naturally made them very happy.

However, Lin Shinan suddenly realized that there must be some loss with the gain, feeling that the questions might not be so easy to answer.

"I heard you mention a young man with the surname Fang; is he around twenty years old..."

Qin Tiannan paid no attention to the couple's reactions and continued with his own question.

"Brother Fang..."

Lin Shinan was taken aback by Qin Tiannan's question, clearly not expecting such a query. His gaze flickered involuntarily.

"If I'm not mistaken, this young man named Fang should be a descendant of mine, and I don't want anything to happen to him, so..."

Seeing Lin Shinan's evasive gaze, Qin Tiannan worried he might not speak, so he immediately added this, thinking it might make things easier to explain.

"That's right, Brother Fang is indeed around twenty years old..."

Lin Shinan seemed to believe Qin Tiannan's words and nodded in agreement.

However, from his words, it was clear that he was concealing something about Qin Fang, at least about Qin Fang changing his appearance, making him look over thirty, quite different from the twenties he mentioned.

But unexpectedly, through sheer coincidence, it just happened to align with Qin Fang's circumstances; if Qin Fang knew the truth, he wouldn't know whether to laugh or cry.

According to Lin Shinan, Qin Fang should thank him, but it coincidentally turned out well; if it had been another enemy looking for Qin Fang, it would have been a truly unjust death for him...

"It is him! Do you know where he went after coming ashore?"

Qin Tiannan was overjoyed upon hearing this and eagerly asked. He had been searching for so long without any leads, but now, finally having news, he was naturally very excited.

"It seems he went into the mountains..."

Lin Shinan wasn't really sure; he noticed Qin Fang boarded Devil's Island with them, but after coming ashore, he disappeared, and Lin Shinan didn't know where he went.

However, the entire Devil's Island is only so big; if he wasn't in the forest, then he must have gone up the mountain... Lin Shinan just casually guessed.

"Into the mountains..."

Upon hearing Lin Shinan's words, Qin Tiannan couldn't help but frown; this was not good news for him.

"No, I must find him quickly; otherwise, he might be in danger..."

Being knowledgeable about the island, Qin Tiannan was well aware of how dangerous Devil's Island was. Qin Fang was too young; even if he could set foot on Devil's Island, the enemies he would face were overwhelmingly powerful.

At least if they were slightly delayed in finding Qin Fang, he could be in great danger...

"Keep going forward for about five or six hundred meters, and you'll find an Eagle Beak Cliff. Passing through a narrow path there, you'll enter a valley where the Corpse Mushroom should be..."

Qin Tiannan was quite decent; although he was anxious to find Qin Fang's whereabouts, he still briefly pointed out the direction to Lin Shinan and his wife.

The location is quite hidden; if no one guided them, it wouldn't be easy to find... Only someone like Qin Tiannan, who had been on Devil's Island for twenty years, would know.

"Thank you..."

Lin Shinan was taken aback and instinctively said thanks, not even realizing it himself; Qin Tiannan had already disappeared in front of them.

Looking at the now-empty forest, Lin Shinan and his wife glanced at each other, their eyes full of deep surprise and a touch of worry.

The master who appeared just now was incredibly powerful, to the point where even they, as Grandmaster-level experts, couldn't resist at all, and they didn't even sense him leaving.

"Great Grandmaster Level Expert..."

This is without the slightest doubt, only such top-tier experts can make them feel so profoundly helpless.

"I wonder how Brother Fang is doing? Hopefully, he hasn't been found by this person..."

Immediately, Lin Shinan couldn't help but think of Qin Fang, and said with some worry in his heart, after all, being targeted by such a Great Grandmaster Level Expert is definitely not a good thing.

"Brother Nan, we've already misled him, he shouldn't be found so easily!"

Shadow nodded in agreement, also bearing a worried expression, but couldn't help but offer comfort.

"Forget it, let's not worry about it for now, we need to quickly find the Corpse Mushroom... Once your injuries are fully recovered, then we can help Brother Fang!"

Fortunately, Lin Shinan currently has no time to think about these matters, finding the Corpse Mushroom is the most urgent task, otherwise, he can't set his mind at ease.

"Alright, let's go... That place might not be easy to find!"

Shadow also nodded, then supported Lin Shinan as they headed up the mountain. When Qin Tiannan left, he had already lifted her restrictions, and she had now fully recovered.

However...

The two had just walked a short distance forward when another stranger appeared in front of them.

"What did that man want from you earlier?"

The newcomer was also a middle-aged man in his forties, but compared to Qin Tiannan's lean and elegant demeanor, this one gave off a rather sinister feeling, especially with that horrifying scar slanting across almost half of his face, making him look even more eerie.

"Ah..."

Lin Shinan and Shadow couldn't help but exclaim in surprise, how this person appeared in front of them just like Qin Tiannan did, they still hadn't figured out.

"Another Grandmaster Level Expert..."

Their hearts sank involuntarily, encountering such an expert and barely surviving already took great luck, now they encountered another...

"If you don't want to die, you'd better speak quickly!"

Seeing the two hesitating, the man with the scarred face grew grim, becoming even more terrifying, and his sinister aura almost rendering Lin Shinan and his wife breathless.

"He was asking us... inquiring about the whereabouts of someone!"

Lin Shinan's face was dreadfully pale, and his already injured condition worsened significantly, yet he still gritted his teeth to speak.

"Looking for someone? Who?"

The scar-faced man also furrowed his brows, seemingly perplexed, but continued to press them with sharp eyes.

"A trialist, around twenty years old... Seems to have a special relationship with him!"

Having faced numerous life and death situations, Lin Shinan quickly calmed down, his speech slowed, but not as labored as before.

"A trialist around twenty years old..."

The scar-faced man furrowed his brows tighter, apparently pondering over this, but from Lin Shinan's eyes, he didn't detect anything amiss, implying he likely spoke the truth.

"Which direction did he go?"

The scar-faced man's demeanor was gloomy, his sharp gaze aggressive and terrifying.

"I don't know, seemed like he went into the mountains..."

Lin Shinan shook his head, honestly responding.

With Qin Tiannan's cultivation, how he left here, Lin Shinan couldn't see clearly, naturally not knowing where Qin Tiannan went.

But since Qin Tiannan is looking for Qin Fang, he surely will follow the clues given by Lin Shinan, so likely into the mountains.

"Hmph..."

The scar-faced man snorted coldly, nearly lunging forward at once, a terrifying aura surged towards them, making Lin Shinan and his wife feel despair.

Beep~~

But just as he was approaching the couple, an extremely peculiar sound echoed, the man also happened to hear it.

His brow furrowed slightly, gave Lin Shinan and his wife a final glance, and then disappeared from sight.

"Huh... we're not dead?"

After a good while, Lin Shinan and Shadow opened their eyes, murmuring in bewilderment, when they saw the scar-faced man come to kill, they almost thought they were doomed.

They had even prepared for the possibility of dying on the same day, but unexpectedly... the man refrained from killing them! (To be continued. If you enjoy this work, welcome to Qidian (qidian.com) to vote for recommendations and monthly tickets. Your support is my greatest motivation.)
