All the past deeds and actions he had committed were now laid bare by Xiao Zhi.
It turned out he hadn't wanted to make a move on him initially, but had instead been looking for this so-called evidence!
Cheng Si had never expected Xiao Zhi to be so heartless, intending to hunt him down and kill him in Europa without a word!
With no other recourse, he could only come to Luomen to find Dai Wei!
Ruixing'er's territory was located in the West District.
Luomen, as the undisputed local overlord of the West District, had always been their biggest protector.
The Luomen Procurement Hall, managed by Dai Wei, was the economic lifeline of the entire Luomen. Therefore, Dai Wei had quite a few business dealings with these merchants.
And the backing that Old Zhao had spoken of at Chen Fan's doorstep initially referred precisely to Dai Wei!
"Xiao Zhi?"
Dai Wei sat in her seat, frowning at Cheng Si. "Why is he suddenly targeting you?"
"It's Chen Fan! That brat named Chen Fan! Not only did he kill Old Zhao, but he also incited me in front of Xiao Zhi!"
A ruthless glint flashed in Cheng Si's eyes!
He detested Chen Fan to the core!
Everything he was suffering today was his fault!
Chen Fan?
Dai Wei hadn't expected him to be someone she knew.
She chuckled, still remembering Chen Fan's blunt refusal back then. "What a coincidence. He's also someone I've been wanting to get rid of!"
Cheng Si's eyes lit up!
He hadn't imagined that Chen Fan had also offended Dai Wei!
"Miss Dai! I'm willing to lead my men to kill him!"
Dai Wei was quite pleased with the ruthlessness in Cheng Si's eyes. She nodded. "Chen Fan's strength should not be underestimated. Ordinary people cannot take his life. We need to devise a foolproof plan."
Cheng Si frowned. "What does Miss Dai mean—"
"Do you know of a mercenary group in Europa with a hundred percent mission success rate?"
Cheng Si's eyes lit up. "Are you referring to Dark Fox?!"
Dai Wei nodded. "Precisely."
"It would be inconvenient for me to appear. I will give you their contact information then, and let them kill Chen Fan for you, so you can vent your anger."
"As for the Ruixing'er restaurant—"
Dai Wei chuckled. "It will be soon."
"After this Luomen assessment ends, that good-for-nothing will completely lose his qualification to succeed as the Gate Master. By then, the entire Luomen will be in my hands, and I will naturally have the ability to help you return to Ruixing'er and regain power."
Cheng Si was overjoyed!
He knew Dai Wei would have a way!
His eyes were filled with admiration. "Miss Dai, your kindness is immense! When I regain control of Ruixing'er, I will certainly follow your lead for Luomen."
He eagerly expressed his loyalty.
Dai Wei sat in her seat, a satisfied smile gracing her lips.
Everything was unfolding according to her plan—
…
However, Chen Fan was completely unaware of all this.
Even Luo Sheng had not received the slightest hint.
For the past ten days, Luo Sheng had been like a sponge, immersing himself in the fighting arena, madly absorbing nutrients from his surroundings.
The Marrow Cleansing Pill not only alleviated the pain after each blow he took but also enhanced his perception. Upon returning home, he found his cultivation efforts yielding twice the results.
It had taken him years to reach the Golden Core stage, and he had been stagnant at that realm for a whole year!
But in these ten days!
Within these ten days, he had already reached the peak of Golden Core, only half a step away from Nascent Soul!
A brilliant light shone in Luo Sheng's eyes. He felt as though he had touched that bottleneck, and thus threw himself even more frantically into battle.
When Chen Fan arrived at the fighting arena, he saw Luo Sheng drenched in sweat on the stage.
In ten days, he had undergone a complete transformation.
Watching Luo Sheng's fierce and decisive moves, Chen Fan felt a hint of admiration in his eyes.
"It's this newcomer called Luo Shen. He only entered the Hell Zone three days ago and has already defeated many experts on the Stairway to Heaven list!"
"Judging by his current performance, his ranking will likely be close to the top ten when the monthly rankings are updated!"
"Tsk! You'd be even more shocked if you knew that Luo Shen was a complete novice in the beginner zone just ten days ago, unable to even take one move! I witnessed his rise to this position firsthand!"
"He's an absolute genius! I'm even starting to look forward to his fight against our Ge Jun!"
Discussions buzzed around them, mostly praising Luo Sheng.
Yes.
Luo Shen was Luo Sheng's alias in the fighting arena.
He watched from the audience for a while until Luo Er spotted him and walked towards the audience with Luo Sheng, who had just won his match.
Chen Fan smiled and nodded at Luo Sheng. "Well done."
"It's the Marrow Cleansing Pill's credit."
As soon as Luo Sheng finished speaking, he noticed Chen Fan's martial attire and frowned. "You're here at the fighting arena today…"
Chen Fan smiled. "To stir up trouble."
Huh?
Chen Fan patted Luo Sheng on the shoulder. "My account hasn't been activated yet. I need to challenge a match in the beginner zone first. It won't take long, I'll be back shortly."
What?
Luo Sheng was still bewildered.
He stared blankly at Luo Er beside him after Chen Fan turned and left. "Brother Fan, what did he say he was going to do?"
Luo Er raised an eyebrow, looking at the Stairway to Heaven list hanging in the center of the fighting arena in the distance, his eyes showing a hint of anticipation. "He's probably going to... make a splash on the leaderboard."
Luo Sheng had been busy with his breakthrough these past few days and hadn't paid any attention to the Stairway to Heaven list.
Hearing Luo Er say that, he became even more confused. "What list?"
"The fighting arena's Stairway to Heaven list is updated monthly. The person ranked first will receive generous rewards from the fighting arena, and may even receive invitations from the five great families. Tomorrow is when the list will be updated."
