"That’s right, kill him!"
"And those involved in this matter, not a single one can be spared!"
"Including everyone from the Jiangnan Martial Arts Association!"
One by one, the Feng Country people loudly echoed.
They wanted to seize this opportunity to extort the Song Family fiercely.
But their desire for revenge for Carl was genuine.
After all, this incident was truly atrocious, something unprecedented since they had moved here.
If they didn’t ruthlessly retaliate, what if others did the same in the future? The Feng Country people, after years of reproduction and growth, only had tens of thousands. Each loss was a significant blow.
"Mr. Kate, please rest assured, everyone involved in this matter will not be spared by Yan Country," Xu Lian solemnly said.
"As for the upcoming battle, Mr. Kate, you just need to watch. The two seniors of the Song Family will lead, and the Elder Council will also send experts to assist. I think dealing with Chen Fan will be more than sufficient. As for the other two Celestial Realm martial artists, they are of no concern."
More than a dozen Feng Country people heard this and nodded in satisfaction.
Actually, many of them hadn’t fought for a long time.
Moreover, as the saying goes, fists and kicks have no eyes; as long as it’s a fight, there’s a risk of injury. Unlucky, one could end up like Carl, killed.
So, having someone else fight in their stead was naturally the best.
"It’s getting late, let’s set off."
Xu Lian glanced at his watch. According to everyone’s speed, they would arrive in Jiangnan City in over an hour.
Meanwhile, shortly after the group left Baijiang City, Thunder Emperor in Flame Emperor City received a message from his subordinates.
"Nearly twenty Celestial Realm martial artists are heading to Jiangnan City."
Thunder Emperor’s eyes showed a hint of worry.
He finally sighed softly, choosing not to take any action.
On one hand, he had offered to mediate the matter at that time, but Chen Fan refused.
On the other hand, if he intervened now, it could easily cause misunderstanding. With the beast tide approaching fiercely, he didn’t want to have a conflict with the Elder Council, leading to internal strife, which would be what the fierce beasts wanted the most.
"I hope he can safely get through this crisis."
...
Jiangnan City.
It was evident to the astute that Jiangnan City was unusual today.
The number of pedestrians and vehicles on the streets had significantly decreased, many shops had closed their doors, especially within a several-kilometer range of the Jiangnan Martial Arts Association, everyone had been evacuated. There wasn’t a single soul to be seen, not even inside the buildings.
Shi Tao stood on the roof of the association’s building.
Last night, he had requested the City Lord of Jiangnan City to evacuate the crowd, because it was imaginable that there would definitely be a fierce battle here today.
The premise of the fierce battle was dependent on Chen Fan’s arrival.
If Chen Fan didn’t come, even fighting against an Early Stage Celestial Realm martial artist would be strenuous for him.
Therefore, his furrowed brow at this moment represented his inner conflict.
No one wants to die, so he hoped Chen Fan would come.
But he also worried that if Chen Fan came, he might not only fail to save everyone but even himself might not survive.
At this moment, he suddenly sensed something, turned around, and a figure appeared somehow not far away.
"Chen Fan!"
Shi Tao was both surprised and delighted.
"President."
The person who arrived was Chen Fan.
He looked at Shi Tao and smiled, "I’m not late, am I?"
"No."
Shi Tao shook his head, his expression incomparably complex for a moment.
"Actually, you didn’t have to come."
"President, it’s pointless to say such things at this point, not to mention, since I dared to come, it means I am absolutely confident."
Chen Fan said, his tone calm.
Shi Tao stared into Chen Fan’s eyes and saw absolute confidence in them.
"I heard from Elder Wang that you broke through to the Celestial Realm, forming a Heaven-grade Martial Arts True Pill. However, I’ve received news from several friends that the Song Family, this time, brought along all the experts of the Revival Association. The Elder Council also brought over three Celestial Realm martial artists, amounting to nearly twenty Celestial Realm martial artists in total. They’re not easy to deal with."
Chen Fan smiled slightly, suddenly thinking of something, asking, "President, where are the Song Family people?"
"You mean them."
Shi Tao took out the Yellow Sand Tower, and in the next moment, several figures fell out from it, sitting on the ground, they were Song Tian and his companions.
Due to their inner strength being drained, they looked like desiccated husks, their eyes lifeless. However, upon noticing Chen Fan in front of them, they immediately snapped out of their daze.
"It’s you!"
Song Tian said through gritted teeth, making no effort to hide the hatred in his eyes.
They were in this predicament entirely due to Chen Fan. If possible, he would peel off Chen Fan’s skin and draw out his tendons.
"Chen, if you want to kill us, do it. What’s the point of keeping us imprisoned?"
"Yeah, if you’re a man, give us a swift death. Stop using these despicable tactics."
Other Song Family members also cursed.
"It seems you’ve forgotten what I told you a few days ago."
Chen Fan sneered.
"A few days ago?"
"Could it be?"
Song Tian and his companions exchanged glances, realizing something.
"That’s right, your Song Family ancestors are on their way here. Besides them, the Revival Association is also making a full move, oh, the Elder Council is also sending several Celestial Realm martial artists over."
With each word Chen Fan spoke, Song Tian and his companions’ expressions grew more excited.
Especially hearing that even the Elder Council was sending people over, they couldn’t help but burst into laughter.
"Haha, as expected of our ancestors, even the Elder Council sent people over to aid our Song Family."
"Revival Association, Elder Council, Chen, we told you before about the consequences of offending our Song Family. But you didn’t believe us. Look at you now. Wait, are you releasing us now hoping we’ll plead for you, perhaps say some good words for you later?"
"Chen, you think you’re smart, but if you kneel and apologize to us now, we might consider it. What do you think?"
Their words were followed by another round of laughter.
They had long accepted their inevitable death.
Since they had lost all their power, even if they survived, they would be worthless.
As long as their ancestors avenged them, they would die without regrets.
Chen Fan remained unperturbed.
After all, getting angry at a few soon-to-be-dead people was meaningless.
Once the laughter died down, he slowly said, "Two days ago, I told you that I would make you witness your Song Family ancestors dying by my hand. I am a man of my word, so I released you now. Otherwise, did you think you would live till today?"
Song Tian and his companions were stunned.
In the next moment, they burst into even louder laughter.
"Chen, don’t think that killing Carl makes you impressive. Carl might be strong, but he is nothing compared to our Song Family ancestors."
"Indeed, our two Song Family ancestors are Mid-stage Celestial Realm martial artists. Do you know what Mid-stage Celestial Realm means? Saying such big words, aren’t you afraid of biting your tongue?"
"We don’t need the Revival Association or Elder Council. Any ancestor of the Song Family alone can take your life!"
"Is that so?"
Chen Fan responded indifferently.
He didn’t bother arguing with them.
Simply turned away and looked into the distance.
No one knew how much time had passed, but gradually, more than ten dark figures approached from the horizon.
"They’re here!"
Shi Tao’s expression dramatically changed.
Though Song Tian and his companions couldn’t see, hearing Shi Tao’s words, they were struck as if by lightning, eagerly looking toward the distance.
