"Coward!"
Lin Yao snorted disdainfully.
"Lin Yao, next time can you wait until I'm further away before you attack?"
Su Fan, doing a handstand against the wall, said to Lin Yao speechlessly.
"Hahahaha"
Lin Yao burst into laughter at Su Fan's miserable state.
By the time Dongfang Tingyin reached the fourth floor, the battle was long over, and the surrounding glass just needed to be replaced.
Fortunately, the surroundings were all martial artists; otherwise, the falling glass might have injured many ordinary people.
"Who is this person? So strong?"
Dongfang Tingyin asked Su Fan curiously.
In reality, she was concerned about Su Fan's safety. Lin Yao was here today, so Su Fan was fine. But what if Lin Yao wasn't around? Su Fan might not be able to defeat this person.
"How would I know? I'd like to know who he is too."
Su Fan didn't know either. The person didn't recognize him even when facing him, so he definitely wasn't an acquaintance.
"You need to be careful. This person is too strong. Why don't you move into the Martial Alliance?"
Dongfang Tingyin suggested to Su Fan.
With Lin Yao at the Martial Alliance, it would be safer than Su Fan returning home.
"No need. The other party doesn't know me, so it's fine."
Su Fan wasn't too worried. Since the other party didn't recognize him even when facing him, what was there to fear?
It was likely that the other party only knew Su Fan had a connection to the Martial Alliance and thus found the Martial Alliance.
"It's you who needs to be careful. Don't go out alone recently. Bring Lin Yao with you."
Su Fan felt that Dongfang Tingyin needed to be more cautious than him, as she was the public face of the Martial Alliance.
"Lin Yao, if you have nothing to do, stay with Dongfang at all times. Go wherever she goes."
Su Fan told Lin Yao.
"Roger that, boss!"
Lin Yao saluted Su Fan with a smile.
Su Fan felt a bit speechless.
But he still smiled. He was happy that Lin Yao could come out of the shadow of Jiu Di's death.
...
Long Chuan escaped from the Martial Alliance and headed straight for the Xu family.
That old scoundrel didn't tell him the strength of the Martial Alliance. He was clearly trying to get him killed!
"Kid! You dare to lie to me, I'll make you pay!"
Long Chuan was convinced that Xu Pengcheng had tricked him and was determined to tear Xu Pengcheng to pieces!
At the Xu family residence, Xu Pengcheng stood at the gate. He saw a black speck approaching from a distance in the sky.
Xu Pengcheng guessed it might be Long Chuan returning.
Xu Pengcheng was overjoyed.
The Long family members were indeed formidable; they had dealt with Su Fan so quickly.
"Father, the Long family senior is back. Su Fan must be dead already!"
Xu Pengcheng said to Xu Wanli beside him with a look of delight.
He had to share this good news with his father.
Xu Wanli also showed a pleased expression, but he wasn't pleased about revenge; he was pleased about getting to know a senior from the Long family.
Once he connected with a senior from the Long family, he might be able to advance further. Becoming a Heavenly Realm martial artist in the future might not be impossible. He would be remembered in history as the second Heavenly Realm martial artist of the Xu family!
The thought alone made him excited!
The true form of the black speck soon appeared before them. They were correct; it was indeed Long Chuan.
Long Chuan instantly flew in front of the two.
Long Chuan's face was grim. He directly smashed Xu Pengcheng's head with a palm strike.
Exploding blood splattered all over Xu Wanli's face.
Xu Wanli hadn't even had time to react. The smile was still on his face, and it gradually froze.
His smile turned into panic, then into terror.
"Senior, spare me! I don't know where the Xu family has offended you. I beg you to forgive us!"
Xu Wanli's survival instinct made him kneel and beg for mercy immediately.
"Hmph!"
Long Chuan did not kill Xu Wanli. He still needed Su Fan's whereabouts. Long Chuan snorted coldly.
"He deceived me and concealed the fact that the Martial Alliance had a Heavenly Realm expert, nearly costing me my life. Should he die?"
Long Chuan looked coldly at Xu Wanli and asked.
"Heavenly Realm? Impossible! The Martial Alliance couldn't possibly have a Heavenly Realm..."
Xu Wanli stopped mid-sentence.
Did the Martial Alliance have no Heavenly Realm martial artists?
No!
The Martial Alliance could easily produce elixirs that allowed people to break through to the Yuheng realm. If the Martial Alliance didn't have this capability, how could they so easily reveal such a treasure? It was highly possible that the Martial Alliance did have Heavenly Realm experts!
"What are you trying to say?"
Long Chuan pressed, seeing that Xu Wanli hadn't finished speaking.
"Senior, please forgive me. My son's failure to inform you was unintentional. He truly didn't expect the Martial Alliance to have a Heavenly Realm expert because he had no idea that Heavenly Realm even existed. I beg you to grant me a chance to atone!"
Xu Wanli knew that to survive and preserve the Xu family bloodline, he absolutely could not anger Long Chuan.
"Alright, I'll give you a chance. Go find Su Fan for me."
Long Chuan had learned his lesson. He didn't intend to find Su Fan himself; he wanted Xu Wanli to do it.
He was not familiar with the current martial arts world and would be in danger if he ventured out rashly. What if he encountered another Heavenly Realm expert like today? He didn't want to die here.
"Yes! I will find Su Fan!"
Xu Wanli dared not refuse. He agreed first.
"Find me a secret chamber. I need to rest."
Long Chuan ordered Xu Wanli as if he were a subordinate.
"Yes, I'll do it right away."
Xu Wanli did not dare to complain and immediately had his cultivation chamber cleaned and prepared for Long Chuan's use.
"Everyone, head to New City! Turn New City upside down if you have to, but find Su Fan!"
Xu Wanli refused to believe that with just one Su Fan, New City was so large that he could disappear.
The Xu family disciples immediately entered New City through various means and began a carpet search.
The sudden influx of many martial artists into New City immediately attracted the attention of the relevant departments.
Supervision Bureau.
Tang Xin frowned as she looked at the population flow data handed to her by her subordinate.
The data showed that over a hundred martial artists surnamed Xu had entered New City through various means today, which was highly unusual.
"Have you investigated the information on these people?"
Tang Xin asked her subordinate.
"We have."
The subordinate quickly handed Tang Xin the printed information.
Tang Xin briefly flipped through it. They all belonged to the same family: the Xu family of the capital!
"What is the Xu family up to?"
Tang Xin frowned and immediately reported this information to her superiors.
A large family sending a significant number of martial artists to a specific location must have a purpose, and it couldn't be ignored. However, she didn't have the authority to decide, so she could only report it upwards.
The director pondered for a moment after learning about the matter.
"Keep a close watch on their every move. I'll go to the Xu family myself."
The director instructed Tang Xin.
This situation was indeed abnormal. They hadn't received any news of major martial arts events happening in New City recently. He had to personally visit the Xu family to inquire about the situation.
"Yes!"
Tang Xin hung up the phone.
She looked at her few subordinates. How could these few people monitor so many individuals?
It seemed she had to ask the Martial Alliance for help again.
Tang Xin had become accustomed to cooperating with the Martial Alliance and would think of them when encountering situations she couldn't handle.
