"That's strange, why hasn't we heard from Bai You yet!"

At a post station, Lu Yuchen frowned slightly.

Logically speaking, this shouldn't be the case!

"Qinggu, go and take a look!"

"OK!"

The burly man sitting in the corner got up and left.

The burly man was none other than the same big guy who had attacked Bai You yesterday.

"Will Bai You be exposed?"

"That's possible!"

After a moment of contemplation, Lu Yuchen looked to the other side and said, "Biaozi and Dahu, one of you continue north and the other goes back to investigate."

"Once you spot Li Fan, do not follow him, just send a message back!"

"good!"

......

At noon, a black bird flew in.

"Bai You died ten miles south of the teahouse on the county road. Besides him, more than a dozen blood-clad bandits were also killed!"

As expected, they were discovered.

This Li Fan is really hard to deal with!

Lu Yuchen sighed inwardly.

"Bai You is dead?"

Yuan Qing looked at Lu Yuchen.

"Um!"

Should we continue to probe further?

"Enough with the probing, let's prepare for the final battle!"

Lu Yuchen shook his head. Li Fan was so alert; any further probing would only weaken his own fighting strength.

"It should have been done a long time ago!"

Yuan Qing stood up, clutching her knife; she had never liked this kind of method.

Although she was an assassin, she always killed openly and honestly.

......

At noon in Guangfeng County, deep within the courtyard of the county government office.

"Lord Ma, are you planning to celebrate your mother's 130th birthday early this time?"

Tian Wuji, the sect leader of the Fallen Leaf Sect, walked over with a smile.

When he entered the room, he sensed the eerie atmosphere.

Sitting in the main seat was a young man I didn't recognize.

Magistrate Ma Youde sat in the first seat on the left, with a broad smile on his face.

To the right of the young man, Lin Gengsheng stood upright.

Looking at the others, Cai Si, the chief constable of Guangfeng County, was holding a teacup, while He Dongtu, the leader of the Dahe Sword Sect, stood up straight.

Tang Jingfang, the master of the Changquan Martial Arts School, looked down at the floor, while Shi Feilong, the chief镖头 (bodyguard) of the Feilong镖局 (escort agency), had a grim expression.

Upon seeing Tian Wuji walk in, Shi Feilong immediately got up and went to his side.

"Brother Tian, ​​you've come at the perfect time."

"Lin Gengsheng brought a young man with him, saying that he was Li Fan, the leader of the Guangnan County Martial Arts Alliance."

"He not only asked us to cooperate in his siege of the Blood-Clad Bandits, but also asked us to buy all the cultivation pills in the shops of Guangfeng County and send them to Guangnan County."

"Do you think we dare to agree? The Shahe Gang in the county seat has made a threatening statement: anyone who dares to send pills to Guangnan County will die a horrible death!"

Shi Feilong rattled off a long speech.

Tian Wuji also understood what the situation was.

He glanced at Li Fan, then calmly found an empty chair and sat down.

This Shi Feilong, he's courting death and dragging others down with him.

Regardless of whether that person is Li Fan or not, Tian Wuji will not express his opinion.

Didn't you see that none of those old foxes inside moved?

Only Shi Feilong is not only stupid, but he also brings up the Shahe Gang to argue his case.

"Brother Tian, ​​say something!"

"Brother Shi, I've caught a cold and am not feeling well. Let me have some tea while I wait!"

Seeing that Shi Feilong was relentless, Tian Wuji quickly picked up a cup of tea.

"Hmph, I know what you're thinking."

"But let me make this clear: my Flying Dragon Escort Agency will not participate in the extermination of the Blood-Clad Bandits, nor will I participate in the purchase of pills and their delivery to Guangnan County!"

"Even if it were Li Fan, the leader of the Guangnan County Martial Arts Alliance, or Ye Changfeng, the commander of the Zhenwu Sitian Guangjun Commandery, I, Shi Feilong, would have the same attitude!"

After Shi Feilong finished speaking, he prepared to leave.

Just as he was about to step out the door, Li Fan said, "If you step out of this door, you die, and the Flying Dragon Escort Agency is destroyed!"

Shi Feilong paused in his steps, turning back to look at Li Fan. "This is the county government office. Do you dare to kill me?"

Li Fan didn't speak, he just stared at him coldly.

A murderous aura lingered, and Shi Feilong felt a chill run down his spine.

If the person in front of him really was Li Fan, he would definitely dare to kill him.

As for destroying the Flying Dragon Escort Agency, that's not just empty talk.

After all, more than a dozen martial arts sects in Guangnan County disappeared without a trace after that battle.

"Alliance Leader Li, it's not that I don't want to help you, it's that I truly dare not!"

"That leader of the blood-clad bandits, Dan Hanqing, is an eighth-rank Sky Soaring cultivator. If we fail to kill him, he will exact revenge on us all."

"And then there's the matter of buying pills; we can't afford to offend the Shahe Gang!"

Please understand our difficulties.

"Yes, I understand!"

Li Fan stood up and walked towards Shi Feilong, "Now that you've made your choice, let's get going!"

Set off?

Upon hearing those two words, Shi Feilong's pupils constricted sharply.

An ominous premonition arose, and without thinking, he quickly boosted his true energy.

Two streaks of light flew out from his sleeves; they were two short swords.

The blade flowed like water, and the grooves gleamed with blood.

He should have countered with a sword technique, but Shi Feilong did not do so.

He channeled his inner energy into the short sword, which then shot towards Li Fan's eyes.

At the same time, Shi Feilong pushed off the ground with both feet, and his whole body retreated towards the outside of the courtyard like a heavy cannon.

"Leader Li, I was wrong."

As he fled, he shouted, "Please, give me another chance!"

Clang!

His response was the sound of the sword being drawn.

Li Fan took a step forward, his internal energy burning like wildfire.

One by one, the meridians ignited, and the burning blood propelled the blade downwards.

Click!

The short sword that crashed in was instantly torn apart by the sword energy.

A black ribbon of light rippled out.

Shi Feilong's charging body was split in two.

Bang!

Bang!

The two halves of his body crashed twenty meters away.

Everyone in the room had their pupils shrink.

Nobody expected this!

Shi Feilong died just like that!

Ma Youde wished he could shrink into a stool.

He now had only one thought: to agree to whatever conditions Li Fan proposed immediately.

......

"Five of you, can you do what I asked?"

"Rest assured, Alliance Leader Li, I will definitely carry out the task you have entrusted to me!"

"Zai Si, I order you to immediately gather all constables near the Blood-Clad Tower!"

After Li Fan finished speaking, Ma Youde immediately expressed his agreement.

Following him, He Dongtu, Tang Jingfang, and Tian Wuji all nodded in agreement.

......

"Disappeared?"

On the county road, Lu Yuchen frowned.

They traveled a hundred miles in both the north and south, but there was no sign of Li Fan.

That's unbelievable! Could he possibly fly away?

That's impossible!

Or did he find a mountain forest to hide in?

If that's the case, then things are even more complicated!

"Send a message to Tianguang County, instructing the person in charge there to send someone to keep watch at the city gate."

"Send a message immediately once Li Fan's whereabouts are discovered!"

......

At 3:45 PM, in Guangfeng County.

Not far from the Blood-Clad Tower, two figures emerged from a restaurant.

Li Fan was in front, and Lin Gensheng was behind.

As they walked out of the restaurant, figures gathered around the Blood-Clad Tower.
