"Greetings, Third Boss!"

When Lin Gensheng arrived at the Blood-Clad Tower, the Blood-Clad Bandits standing guard outside shouted in unison.

"Third Master, you're back?"

The scarred, burly man stepped forward with a fawning expression, then looked at Li Fan and asked, "Third Master, this young master has an imposing presence, I wonder..."

What are you?

Lin Gensheng raised his hand and slapped the scarred man across the face. Then he grabbed the man and said menacingly, "Do I need to inform you when I bring guests back?"

"No, no, Third Master, I was wrong!"

"Hmph, courting death!"

Lin Gensheng casually tossed the scarred man aside, then respectfully invited Li Fan into the building.

At this moment, sounds of pleasure from men and women could be heard coming from inside the building.

When Lin Gensheng entered, many naked thieves in blood-stained clothes stood up and bowed.

"Get out of here, you filthy scum! Everyone, get dressed and get out of here!"

Lin Gensheng roared, and the group of blood-clad thieves quickly put on their clothes and pushed away the women next to them.

The women, without even bothering to put on their clothes, rushed outside in a swarm.

"Young Master Li, please come upstairs!"

After all the women had been driven away, Lin Gensheng stood respectfully at the top of the stairs, bowing and inviting Li Fan upstairs.

......

Only after the two had completely disappeared did the group of blood-clad bandit warriors dare to speak.

"Whose young master is this?"

"There are no prominent families with the surname Li in the county town!"

"Is it possible that it's not from Tianguang County?"

"Who knows? Someone who can command such seriousness from the Third Master must be no small fry!"

"What a pity about that girl, she almost finished eating!"

"There's plenty of time in the future, so why worry about not having enough to eat!"

As these people were discussing, the scarred man at the door looked at Lin Gensheng with a gloomy face.

Why did he come back?

Wasn't Lin Gengsheng supposed to be following Li Fan, the leader of the Guangnan County Martial Arts Alliance?

Wait, he called that guy "Young Master Li"?

He not only beat me, but also drove away those prostitutes.

These coincidences, when put together, caused the scarred man's expression to change drastically.

A chilling thought crossed his mind.

That young master Li is Li Fan.

His arrival might very well be to wipe out the Blood-Clad Tower.

He looked out onto the street and surveyed his surroundings.

Quiet!

It's so quiet!

No pedestrians have passed by for a long time.

not good!

It's over!

He glanced upstairs; Li Fan and the others had already gone up.

If I were to expose their actions, I'd probably be the first one to die.

No, before they make a move, let's take some people to distract them and then slip away.

"Brothers, not enough fun yet?!"

"Come with me, let's keep having fun!"

The scarred man walked into the building.

With a shout, dozens of people came running.

"Scarface, isn't this a bit inappropriate?"

The gatekeeper warrior whispered a reminder: "After all, we are..."

"Stop talking nonsense, you guys stay here, I'm going out to have some fun!"

With a wave of his hand, the scarred man led a group of people away.

......

"Shall we do it?"

"Send someone to follow them first, and then make your move once the fighting starts inside the building!"

"good!"

In the streets and courtyards, the constables who were keeping watch remained hidden.

Among these people, the young constable named Wang Mian kept his attention firmly on the scarred man.

......

"Greetings, Third Boss!"

At the entrance of the restaurant stood five elite warriors dressed in blood.

They looked at Li Fan warily, and Lin Gengsheng stepped forward and said, "Go and inform the chief that a distinguished guest has arrived from the county town!"

"Hold on!"

One person walked towards the ninth floor.

......

Distinguished guest?

Inside the room on the ninth floor, Han Qing looked puzzled.

Didn't Lin Gengsheng go to follow Li Fan?

Why would he come back at this time?

And who exactly is this so-called distinguished guest?

But upon further reflection, Han Qing put these questions out of her mind.

Perhaps Lin Gengsheng will happen to run into those aristocratic young masters who travel around.

He used sweet talk to build relationships, or perhaps those rich young men needed someone to do something for them.

Such things are not uncommon in the martial arts world.

"Let him bring his men in!"

After a moment's thought, he decided to meet this important person.

After breaking through to the eighth rank, he had even greater ambitions.

He wanted to enter the county town, but he certainly couldn't do it on his own.

He needs a powerful backer.

......

"Third Master, please!"

Upon reaching the room, Lin Gensheng gently knocked on the door.

"Enter!"

The door was pushed open, but Han Qing got up from her seat.

"Gensheng, who is this young master?"

"Li Fan!"

Li Fan? How could it be him?!

But Han Qing's pupils suddenly contracted.

He roared, "Enemy attack!"

At the same time, he gathered his inner energy and transformed into a blur as he rushed out the window.

As he moved, Li Fan also moved.

The Swift Shadow technique was activated, and in an instant, it caught up with Dan Hanqing.

True energy flows through the meridians of the Mountain-Shaking Fist, burning blood and extinguishing the slash with each swing.

The extermination of evil caused a shockwave, and sparks flew through the air.

But Han Qing turned around and drew his sword, which was wreathed in qi and resembled a dragon coiling around a black ribbon.

Clang!

Swords clashed, and the metallic clang of metal rang out.

A tremendous force struck, but Han Qing did not resist it head-on. Instead, he used the force to propel himself out of the window, with the black streak following him like a shadow.

......

Rumble!

A thunderous roar erupted as two streams of true energy collided in mid-air.

But Han Qing plummeted to the ground like a kite with a broken string.

He tried to gather his inner energy to resist, but he couldn't withstand Li Fan's domineering inner energy at all.

What drove him to despair the most was the figure that followed him from the sky.

He felt some regret, regretting that he had provoked Li Fan.

He hadn't expected Li Fan to be so decisive.

They simply sent someone to follow him, and he attacked.

If he could do it all over again, he would definitely swallow this insult.

Thump!

A major earthquake shook the earth, and a crater appeared.

......

Not far from the Blood-Clad Tower, on the upper floor of the pavilion.

He Dongtu and the others exchanged glances, all of them shocked to see each other.

If I hadn't seen it with my own eyes, who would believe that Li Fan was really that terrifying?

Even Dan Hanqing, an eighth-rank Sky Soaring expert, was nothing more than a single slash in his hands.

They didn't even have a chance to resist.

"kill!"

Zeiss took a step forward and leaped down from the pavilion, with He Dongtu, Tang Jingfang, and Tian Wuji quickly following behind.

As they jumped down from the attic, all the hidden warriors moved out.

Arrows burning with flames flew across the sky.

From the Blood-Clad Tower, a piercing alarm sounded.

......

As Li Fan got up from the pit, three figures crashed through the window and landed on the ground.

"Lin Gengsheng, what are you trying to do?"

"Kill this traitor!"

Wang Jiu and Li Fuguo charged toward Lin Gensheng with furious expressions.

But in the next instant, Li Fan stepped out and killed the two of them.

Lin Gensheng looked at Li Fan, awaiting his own destiny.

I told you, I won't kill you!

"Whether you stay or leave is your own decision!"

"Leader Li, I want to follow you!"

"After escorting the elixir, stay in Guangnan County to protect Yan Mingshu, the advisor of the Zhenwu Division!"

"Thank you, Alliance Leader Li!"

......

They survived!

Looking at the nine-story building burning with flames in the distance.

Scarface breathed a sigh of relief.

Go back immediately, take all your belongings, and leave the city.

"Pooh!"

Just as Scarface turned the corner at the next alleyway, a glob of phlegm flew towards him.

There stood a young constable.

Come on, kill me!

"Young man, I was wrong... Go to hell!"

As Scarface spoke, he suddenly rushed out.

Duh!

Before he could even reach Wang Mian, a sharp pain shot through his chest as a crossbow bolt pierced his flesh.

Immediately afterwards, the dull sound of crossbow bolts rang out.

Wang Mian only stopped firing after he had emptied all the crossbow bolts.

"What's the use of being able to fight? It's still a dead end!"

......
