Chapter 425 Going up the mountain
In the bleak atmosphere of winter, an invisible storm is quietly brewing.
This mountain forest, usually quiet and peaceful, has now become the focus of attention for various forces.
Tan Zhentian's initial display of power was extremely sharp. When he saw that no one dared to contradict him, his expression softened considerably, and a hint of smugness crept onto his brow.
He walked with steady yet somewhat unruly steps toward Tian Zhenzhen and the others, his face still bearing that seemingly casual yet intimidating smile.
His gaze was like a sharp knife, sweeping over Tian Zhenzhen and the other two, trying to glean some useful information from their faces, as if he wanted to see through their origins and purposes through such scrutiny.
He looked at them carefully again and again, and confirmed that these three people were unfamiliar faces that he had never seen before.
"You three look unfamiliar. I am Tan Zhentian, one of the twelve zodiac signs of the Dragon Group."
May I ask how the three of you are addressed?
Tan Zhentian casually introduced himself and then eagerly inquired about the three of them. His eyes revealed an undeniable sense of pressure, as if declaring that this was his territory and that he had absolute control.
"Hello Mr. Tan, my name is Tian Zhenzhen, and these two are my people," Tian Zhenzhen replied politely.
Tan Zhentian had not previously looked down on Tian Zhenzhen because of her youth, but now that he learned that she was the most respected among the three, a slight ripple stirred in his heart.
His gaze once again focused entirely on Tian Zhenzhen, scrutinizing her from head to toe several times.
He couldn't help but think to himself, "Hmm, this girl is indeed quite pretty. In a normal situation, I would definitely be happy to go up and chat with her."
But the pressure he had just released had no effect on these three people, which made him realize that there must be someone among them whose strength was no less than his.
However, he found these three people very strange; they did not possess the characteristics of other martial artists whose qi and blood could be discerned at a glance.
He couldn't help but wonder if he had used some kind of technique to conceal his vital energy.
Those who possess such skills are probably from mysterious hermit families.
Even Tan Zhentian felt a headache just thinking about these reclusive families. These families often had deep foundations, acted mysteriously and unpredictably, and had many unknown methods.
Tian Zhenzhen found it quite amusing to watch the constantly changing expressions on the face of the man in the leather jacket in front of her.
Among the martial artists she knew who had reached the Grandmaster level, they all possessed the demeanor of exceptional masters, and their appearances were not as youthful as Tan Zhentian's.
Tan Zhentian looks to be no more than thirty years old, which shows that his martial arts talent must be extraordinary.
"I don't care what your purpose is in coming here, you have to follow my rules in my territory."
Even if you have some skill, you'd better behave yourself on my turf, Tan Zhentian's territory. Tan Zhentian put aside those chaotic thoughts. This matter was of utmost importance, and he absolutely could not let these three suddenly appearing people affect the entire plan.
Although he thought the three were quite strong, he was still very confident in his own abilities, especially since this was his territory and he had the home-field advantage.
"Mr. Tan, you're mistaken. My goal has never been to harm Tang Yifeng."
To be honest, my goal is the same as yours; I'm here to protect Tang Yifeng.
The most important thing now is to find Tang Yifeng, Mr. Tan, don't you agree?" Tian Zhenzhen revealed an innocent and harmless expression, looking exactly like an obedient and well-behaved girl.
Seeing how easy she was to talk to, and how obedient she seemed, Tan Zhentian couldn't help but exclaim inwardly, "So well-behaved!"
But then he cursed himself inwardly, thinking he couldn't be fooled by her appearance. Until the very last moment, no one knew whether she was a decent person or not.
"I hope so, otherwise don't blame me for taking action against you." After saying that, Tan Zhentian lost interest in continuing his idle chatter with Tian Zhenzhen.
With a wave of his hand, he beckoned his men into the mountains and forests, just like a general commanding thousands of troops.
With Tan Zhentian's departure, the scene, which had been as oppressive as death, regained some vitality.
However, no one was in the mood for chatting. They all hurried towards the mountains and forests, afraid of missing any important clues.
Before leaving, Yan Guhong looked at Tian Zhenzhen thoughtfully.
When Tian Zhenzhen's eyes met his, he politely nodded to her without saying anything, and then followed the people from the Heart Sword Sect into the mountains.
Tian Zhenzhen turned her gaze to the leader of the Iron Fist Society, who nervously avoided her gaze.
But when he saw Tian Zhenzhen staring at him, he still forced himself to speak and said, "The Dragon Group members are here. Do you still dare to kill people at will?"
Neither we, the Iron Fist Society nor the Dragon Group, will allow you to…
Before the man could finish speaking, his head suddenly exploded as if struck by an invisible cannonball, splattering blood and brain matter everywhere, and his words came to an abrupt halt.
Looking at the headless corpse lying on the ground, Tian Zhenzhen coldly uttered two words: "Noisy."
In Tian Zhenzhen's view, whether it's the Iron Fist Society or the Dragon Group, as long as they dare to show her malice, she will definitely make them regret it.
This is the confidence that strength gives her. She doesn't need to say much; she tells everyone through her actions that she is not someone to be trifled with.
After Tian Zhenzhen finished speaking, she got out of the car at a leisurely pace and walked towards the mountain forest with her two companions.
The greenery on the mountain was well protected. Because of the snow, the whole world looked as if it were covered with a layer of white gauze, a silver-clad world that was breathtakingly beautiful.
Looking around, the mountain was covered with dense trees, and there was only one winding road leading up the mountain, which was obviously specially opened up by the Tang family.
Seeing such a majestic mountain and the magnificent villa in front of it, Tian Zhenzhen couldn't help but sigh, "We're both rich, but others know how to enjoy life much better than me."
Aside from a portion used for investment, most of her money was just sitting in the bank. She thought to herself with a self-deprecating smile that it was all because she had suddenly become rich from being poor, and she simply couldn't afford to live such a colorful life.
She secretly made up her mind that when she got back, she would definitely have someone buy her a mountain and an island, and turn it into a tourist resort exclusively for her.
Lost in thought, Tian Zhenzhen found herself unknowingly approaching the crowd.
At this moment, deep in the dense forest, there used to be a crystal-clear lake here in the summer, but now the lake is covered with a thick layer of ice.
There were many people standing on the ice, divided into two clearly opposing forces, confronting each other in a tense atmosphere that seemed to ignite the air.
On one side were Tan Zhentian and his group, whom they had just met. They had cold expressions and exuded an aura of being well-trained.
The other side was led by a middle-aged man dressed in Iron Fist Sect attire.
