"Ahead is Jiangnan City."
Song Lianfeng spoke, feeling a sigh of relief inside.
Although they were well prepared this time, it was still possible to be ambushed halfway.
And the fact that the other party knew there were Elder Council members among them and still chose to intercept them halfway made him worried, as it showed the other party had enough confidence to kill them all.
Fortunately, that didn’t happen. Other than being attacked by assassins on the road, there were no surprises or shocks.
"Is that Jiangnan City?"
"Where is the Jiangnan Martial Arts Association?"
"Hmph, daring to kill our Revival members, they will surely regret it!"
More than a dozen people from Feng Country spoke one after another.
"What’s that?"
The Liu Family Ancestor keenly sensed something, and his gaze met Chen Fan’s.
"Is that Chen Fan?"
The Bai Family Ancestor also noticed, "Beside him is Shi Tao, the president of the Martial Arts Association?"
"Bold," the Liang Family Ancestor showed a faint smile, "Knowing disaster looms, not only do they not flee, but they wait in place?"
The others also looked over upon hearing this.
"It’s Tian’Er!"
Song Lianfeng immediately saw Song Tian, leaping over the dozens of meters high city wall and rushing quickly.
"Lianfeng!"
Song Bingzhong shouted in a low voice.
He moved swiftly and grabbed his arm.
"Don’t be impulsive!"
The other side looked like only two people, and they put the junior of the Song family aside. There must be some peril, he wouldn’t believe otherwise.
Song Lianfeng shivered and then came to his senses.
"Uncle, I..."
Song Bingzhong shook his head; now was not the time for this.
To be safe, it would be better to go together.
At this moment, Xu Lian also led the group, crossing the city wall amid the gazes of the Jiangnan City Awakeners and guards.
"Damn, these people are too arrogant!"
In the corner, an Awakener clenched his fist and said through gritted teeth.
Even though they had received notice from the City Lord beforehand, saying that strong members from the Elder Council and Revival Association would arrive this morning and they should avoid conflict during such critical times.
But these people were too conceited, ignoring them completely, as if entering an uninhabited territory.
"Shh."
Someone nearby whispered, "Lower your voice, these people, not to mention us, even the City Lord can’t afford to offend them."
The murmurs immediately subsided.
Everyone knew what the words Elder Council meant.
No matter how upset they were, they could only silently watch the figures disappear from view.
In just a few breaths, the group stood on the rooftops of buildings surrounding the Martial Arts Association, encircling Chen Fan and Shi Tao.
"Patriarch!"
"Patriarch!"
The few members of the Song family, upon seeing Song Lianfeng, were overjoyed like drowning people grasping at straws.
The two elders behind Song Lianfeng, although they had never seen them in person, based on portraits and the aura they exuded, it was not difficult to guess they were the two elders of the clan.
Song Tian had countless words stuck in his throat.
However, being the Patriarch of the Song family, and with so many eyes on Jiangnan City watching, he couldn’t act as others did, otherwise, it would be too embarrassing when word spread.
"Tian’Er, what happened to you all?"
Song Lianfeng was stunned.
Before entering the city, he did not look closely.
Now that he was up close, he saw that Song Tian and the others looked decades older, with heads full of white hair.
"Our inner strength was absorbed by him. We are now useless."
Third Brother of the Song family said this, then burst into tears.
"What!"
Song Lianfeng couldn’t believe it.
"Patriarch, all our inner strength was absorbed by him. Not only that, he deliberately left us a bit to let us see how you would be defeated."
"Patriarch, Elders, you must avenge us!"
"Chen Fan, you deserve to die!"
Song Lianfeng’s forehead veins bulged, staring at Chen Fan with palpable hatred.
Behind him, the two Song family elders and the Bai Family Ancestor were constantly releasing divine sense, scanning the surroundings for hidden masters.
After all, Chen Fan looked to be at the Early Stage of Celestial Realm. Even with Shi Tao behind him, only two early-stage Celestial Human Realm martial artists.
There was no reason for them to be so bold.
There must be masters hiding.
However, after a thorough check, both groups were puzzled.
There were people in the building’s basement.
But their auras were very weak.
Could they be experts at concealing their aura?
What kind of master could evade their perception?
Compared to the caution of a few, the Revival Association members seemed more carefree.
In their view, even if there were ambushers, so what? They were numerous; what was there to fear?
"Are you Chen Fan?"
At this moment, Xu Lian’s voice echoed.
He stood on a building taller than the Martial Arts Association, looking down.
"?"
Chen Fan looked over, slightly frowning in suspicion.
He had just scanned the field, but hadn’t noticed this person.
Because he was too weak, not even at the Celestial Human Realm.
"He’s the one who called me yesterday afternoon."
Shi Tao explained beside him.
"I see."
Chen Fan understood.
It seemed that this guy was the leader this time.
