Just as Chen Guan was about to speak.

Thousands of Yao appeared at the entrance of the stockade.

This scene truly surprised Chen Guan greatly.

Aside from on Tushan, this was the first time he had seen so many Yao.

"Brothers, charge!"

Liu Tai didn't hesitate at all.

Holding his battle axe, he led the Mountain Bandits behind him into the horde of Yao.

The battle was fought in a chaotic, earth-shattering manner!

Countless Yao were killed or injured.

But the Mountain Bandits of White Tiger Stockade also suffered heavy casualties.

They fought from morning till night, the ground littered with corpses and rivers of blood.

"Send the injured brothers for treatment, and give the deceased brothers death benefits for their families!"

Liu Tai looked at the corpses covering the ground, his face filled with sorrow.

Only then did he notice Chen Guan, who had been observing from the back.

"Brother Chen, as you've seen, this is what I wanted to tell you about, the Yao on White Tiger Mountain! Let's go inside and talk!"

Liu Tai sighed deeply before leading Chen Guan into a room.

Soon, food and wine were prepared.

Liu Tai raised his wine cup and drank it all in one go, feeling much better.

"Chieftain Liu, I previously heard that White Tiger Mountain was not overrun by Yao, why have they appeared here now? Where did they come from?"

After drinking a cup of wine, Chen Guan asked his question.

Before, the only place with rampant Yao around Qingshi County was Tushan, and now White Tiger Mountain had appeared, which made him inevitably worried.

If other mountains were also like this.

Then Qingshi County would be even more dangerous.

"I don't know either. White Tiger Mountain was fine before. Half a month ago, my subordinate first discovered traces of Yao on the mountain!"

"Since then, it has become uncontrollable. The number of Yao has been increasing, gradually threatening the stockade. I didn't take this matter seriously before, but later I couldn't stop them anymore!"

Liu Tai said fiercely, putting down his wine bowl.

Chen Guan looked at him, his brows tightly furrowed.

According to Liu Tai's words.

These Yao seemed to have fallen from the sky out of nowhere.

"Chieftain Liu, these Yao wouldn't appear out of thin air. Didn't you send people to investigate the situation?"

Chen Guan frowned as he looked at him.

This question actually stunned Liu Tai.

"I really didn't think of that. The number of Yao kept increasing, and I was only thinking about how to lead my brothers to resist their attacks!"

Liu Tai quickly shook his head, explaining his recent state of mind.

Chen Guan looked at him speechlessly.

Liu Tai appeared quite shrewd, but he acted so thoughtlessly.

"Then what is your intention, Chieftain Liu? I am from the Demon Suppressing Division, and cooperating with you Mountain Bandits is against the rules!"

Chen Guan's words made Liu Tai quickly nod, "I understand this. Actually, I've heard about Brother Chen's deeds before. You were the one who led people to deal with the Yao on Tushan, so I hope Brother Chen can help!"

"Although officials from your Demon Suppressing Division cannot cooperate with us, we are now facing Yao, which is also a matter concerning your Demon Suppressing Division. I don't think there will be any problem!"

Liu Tai had actually thought it through clearly.

That's why he intervened to save Chen Guan when he saw him surrounded by officers.

He thought this would leave a good impression on Chen Guan.

If you can't find the book title, you can try searching for the author, maybe the name has been changed!

This way, he could ask Chen Guan for help.

"Just now, I saw that the number of Yao on White Tiger Mountain was terrifying. I cannot make waves alone. We still need to investigate where these Yao came from first!"

Chen Guan did not refuse his invitation.

Because he had heard Mu Yuan say before.

Although these Yao had developed intelligence, they were still incomparable to humans.

Only great Yao like those on Tushan, who could transform into human form, possessed some wisdom.

Now, these Yao on Tushan were attacking White Tiger Stockade in an organized and disciplined manner.

This indicates that a powerful Yao must be behind them, controlling them.

Therefore, Chen Guan's current intention to investigate the whereabouts of this powerful Yao on White Tiger Mountain made cooperation with White Tiger Stockade not impossible.

"That is natural. If Brother Chen is willing to help resolve this matter, you can arrange anyone on the mountain as you please! Just ask if you need anything!"

Liu Tai quickly stood up and said loudly in response to his words.

He was so excited that his whole body trembled.

Chen Guan nodded, "Send a few people to me. Their strength is not important, but they must be sharp, bold and careful, and very familiar with any terrain on White Tiger Mountain!"

Liu Tai quickly agreed to these words.

That evening, Liu Tai threw a grand banquet to reward his subordinates who had fought desperately against these Demons.

After being plied with a few cups of wine, Chen Guan returned to his room to rest.

Sleepless night.

The next morning.

As soon as Chen Guan got up, he saw Liu Tai arriving with three people.

"Brother Chen, this person's name is Guo Yuan. He is a young brother from our stockade. He lived on White Tiger Mountain before joining White Tiger Stockade, so no one is more familiar with the terrain of White Tiger Mountain than he is!"

Liu Tai introduced him directly to Chen Guan.

Chen Guan looked at the person in front of him, who had a sharp look and a fawning smile, and nodded with satisfaction.

"Follow me!"

He said coldly and left the stockade with Guo Yuan and the others.

"Brother Chen, you must be careful. The number of Demons on White Tiger Mountain is increasing, and we might encounter them!"

Guo Yuan warned him directly.

It was clear that the Demons on White Tiger Mountain were making him very uneasy.

However, Chen Guan smiled calmly, "It's alright. Let me ask you, how familiar are you with White Tiger Mountain?"

"Brother Chen, it's not that I'm bragging, but there isn't a corner or a cave on White Tiger Mountain that I don't know!"

Guo Yuan became proud when he mentioned this.

After all, this could be considered one of his skills.

"That's excellent. The Demons on White Tiger Mountain certainly didn't fall from the sky. The powerful Yao behind them must be hiding in a very secluded place. Take me there to look for it!"

Chen Guan patted his shoulder and said with a smile.

Although Guo Yuan was very scared.

He dared not disobey Chen Guan's orders.

Finally, he gritted his teeth and agreed to lead them directly up the mountain.

"Brother Chen, the mountain paths on White Tiger Mountain are rugged and difficult to traverse! The higher we go, the more dangerous it becomes. This is why the Stockade Master decided to establish the stockade halfway up the mountain."

"And near the summit, there is a cave. It overlooks the area below, allowing a clear view of everything. Its location is also very secluded. If there is a powerful Yao hiding on the mountain, it would surely be hiding there!"

Guo Yuan explained as he led the way.

Just as Chen Guan was about to ask more questions.

He suddenly felt an extremely dense killing intent emanating from their surroundings.

Before he could react.

A giant White Wolf rushed out from the nearby jungle, roaring and lunging to bite Guo Yuan's throat.
