Outside the Zhennan Prince's Mansion, Zhang Shoucheng, dressed in a Taoist robe, sat on a low stool with a small table in front of him.

There was a cloth on the table with a huge Bagua (Eight Trigrams) drawn on it.

In front of the Bagua (Eight Trigrams) statue, a banner from Yantai Town reads "Boundless Heavenly Venerable".

Beside the table was a wooden box.

Two bamboo sticks were stuck in the sides of the box.

Banners were hung on bamboo sticks.

The left banner reads, "Analyze Yin and Yang, determine the Five Elements, and observe the sun and moon in your palm."

The right banner reads, "Measure the feng shui and survey the six directions, grasp the universe in your sleeve."

Looking at Zhang Shoucheng, who resembled a wandering sorcerer, Lin Hanqing, who was about to leave, asked with interest, "Little Celestial Master, what's going on here?"

"Heavenly secrets must not be revealed!"

Seeing Zhang Shoucheng acting mysteriously, Lin Hanqing had an idea and sat down directly next to Zhang Shoucheng.

"Fairy Lin, isn't this inappropriate?"

Zhang Shoucheng said in a low voice.

"I don't see anything wrong with it!"

"This posture is not at all like that of a fairy!"

"When did I ever say I was a fairy?"

Lin Hanqing countered with a question.

Seeing this, Zhang Shoucheng shook his head helplessly and said, "The domineering style is here!"

He looked into the distance, where a wisp of energy stood out conspicuously against the bright blue sky.

"Domineering?"

Lin Hanqing stood up and looked into the distance, her beautiful eyes slightly narrowed.

After a moment's thought, she spoke again: "Will Li Fan come back?"

"meeting!"

Zhang Shoucheng nodded, and the energy flowed as it approached the Prince's Mansion.

That means he will come!

......

"The Yunzhou arena battle has major problems."

The positions of all parties are not in line with their interests...

After explaining the situation, Li Fan continued, "I plan to take this opportunity to enter the game."

Bookmaker, make a quick buck!

If the people behind the scenes don't intervene, then they make money.

If they can't resist flipping the table, then kill them and loot everything.

My purpose in coming here is to have the Southern Prefecture Martial Arts Division and the Martial Arts Alliance send people over.

"So that I can take over the business after I've killed someone."

"Brother Fan, you're really cunning!"

After saying that, Yan Mingshu muttered under his breath, "And you still say you're not a serial killer!"

Standing to the side, Han Yan couldn't help but glance at Li Fan.

I have to say, this kid is really ruthless.

No wonder they topped the charts so quickly.

However, those people in Yunzhou were no good either; killing them all would save trouble.

"But that's not enough!"

Yan Mingshu added, "Being a bookmaker is, at best, just stealing money from the mastermind behind the scenes."

Considering Long Xiaoyun and Li Xiaoxiao's backgrounds, it's unlikely they'll turn against each other.

If we're going to make money, let's make a fortune.

We not only need to be the dealer, but also place bets.

They mobilized all the resources of Nanzhou and bet everything on the Heavenly Gu Sect to win.

Eat until you're full!

"puff!"

Han Yan couldn't help but spit out his tea.

He had just been thinking to himself that Li Fan was ruthless.

It now appears that the disciples of their own academy are even more ruthless.

People who read a lot are not good people.

Except for me, Han.

"Mr. Han, you can criticize me all you want, but could you please not direct it at me!"

Yan Mingshu wiped his face, brushing away a handful of damp tea leaves.

Han Yan's lips twitched as he tried hard to suppress a laugh.

"That might not be easy!"

Li Fan asked.

"Brother Fan, it will be easy as long as you show yourself!"

"Who dares to disrespect you—the Prince of Zhennan's Mansion, the Jiang family, or the Vajra Sect?"

Yan Mingshu looked at Li Fan with a smile.

There's one more thing he hasn't said yet.

That means attacking without giving them any face.

He was well aware of Li Fan's strength.

He can kill a late-stage tenth-grade Dharma Image cultivator. In the entire Southern Continent, apart from the departed Tong Wu, who can rival him?

Perfect, I can use that as a pretext to make a big deal out of it.

If I take Fan Ge around with me, who won't give me, Yan Mingshu, some face in the future?

Looking at Yan Mingshu, whose mouth was practically crooked from smiling, Li Fan's gaze gradually turned strange.

Although he fired the first shot for the Southern State Martial Arts Alliance.

However, he did not become famous in Nantian City.

Of the three overlords of Nanzhou, only the Zhennan Prince's Mansion had a slight cooperative relationship with him.

The other two families are enemies, and one family has never even met.

It would be a miracle if they gave up their own dignity!

This bastard is trying to trap himself in it again?

"Am I that important?"

Li Fan asked again.

"Brother Fan, you have more influence than I imagined!"

Yan Mingshu said with certainty.

"In that case, I'll return to Yunzhou."

Take my knife to them and tell them it was my order!

After saying that, Li Fan took out the Zhumie (诛灭) and handed it to Yan Mingshu.

Then he turned and left.

Now it was Yan Mingshu's turn to be dumbfounded.

"Brother Fan, even if you have a lot of face, you can't do this!"

Bringing your knife is impolite!

Yan Mingshu quickly got up.

But by then, Li Fan had already soared into the sky.

Watching the disappearing figure, Yan Mingshu felt numb.

"Little guy, you've shot yourself in the foot!"

Han Yan teased, "Li Fan is much smarter than you!"

How could he not know what Yan Mingshu was thinking?

Leaving aside Li Fan, let's talk about my own experiences in Nanzhou these past few days.

This kid kept urging me to help him establish his authority.

He would never do something like that.

He came only to protect Yan Mingshu's safety.

"Old Han, you don't understand!"

Yan Mingshu shook his head, a slight smile appearing on his lips.

......

Li Fan didn't know whether he had any influence with the three major powers.

What he knew was that Yan Mingshu needed to save face.

Since that's the case, he'll go and save face.

At least, even if I'm no longer in Nanzhou, that guy will still have face.

After this matter is finished, I will go to Yan Mingshu to ask for thirty years' worth of salary.

Sixty years in total, hopefully that guy will live a little longer.

......

"They're here!"

Zhang Shoucheng whispered a reminder.

What he saw was the energy that surged like a raging wave.

The Qi-observation method of Longhu Mountain is unparalleled in the world.

"That entrance was incredibly domineering!"

While Zhang Shoucheng was observing the qi, Lin Hanqing was already looking up at the sky.

Suddenly, a figure appeared and descended from the sky.

Even though Li Fan had suppressed his internal energy, Lin Hanqing still felt a suffocating pressure.

This pressure might be what Zhang Shoucheng meant by domineering!

Her beautiful eyes were fixed on Li Fan.

At this moment, Zhang Shoucheng's eyes also widened.

This guy is definitely not one to follow the beaten path!

"Please inform them that Li Fan requests an audience with the Prince of Zhennan!"

Li Fan?

Upon hearing this name, the guards stationed at the gate were taken aback.

Immediately afterward, one of them shouted, "Inform the Prince that Alliance Leader Li has arrived!"

As he spoke, he struck the drum that was placed in the inner palace.

Thump!

Thump!

Thump!

......

Nine drumbeats resounded, as if the entire Zhennan Prince's Mansion had been awakened.

From deep within the Prince's mansion, Zhou Qingtian's voice could be heard.

"Hahaha! It's an honor to have Alliance Leader Li here. Please forgive my lack of proper welcome!"

Soon, Zhou Qingtian appeared at the door.

He wore a white robe with gold trim and embroidered cloth shoes with cloud patterns.

This outfit is very informal.

But this precisely demonstrates how much he values ​​Li Fan.

"Your Highness is too kind!"

Li Fan clasped his hands in a fist salute in response.

Seeing this, Zhou Qingtian's smile widened.

It seems that Li Fan's arrogance is only directed at his enemies.

Such a person would indeed be a good friend.

"Alliance Leader Li, it's better to arrive at the right time than to arrive early. I haven't had breakfast yet, would you like to have something with me?"

Zhou Qingtian stepped forward, patted Li Fan on the shoulder, and said...

"good!"

Li Fan nodded.
