"Damn you..."
Zhu Que was so angry she lunged at Yun Fan, but her body suddenly felt weak, and she almost fell to the ground. Fortunately, Yun Fan was quick, supporting her with both hands.
However, even his hands felt limp at this moment.
"This..."
Ye Feng and the others nearby naturally saw this. They secretly praised Yun Fan for his boldness, to directly lay hands on her.
And not content with one hand, he used both. But alas, his hands felt too small for the task! Yun Fan felt as though his hands were grasping melons.
"I'll kill you!"
Zhu Que's vision went black, and she fainted.
She was then helped away by her female subordinates.
Seeing everyone staring at him with strange looks, Yun Fan innocently explained, "If I said it was an accident, would you believe me?"
"No!"
"Uh..."
...
After a brief awkward moment, Yun Fan lit a cigar and waited for news of the Chen family's downfall.
He had been in Jiangnan for a long time. Once the Chen family was destroyed, his mission for the Lin family would be considered complete, and he still had to rush to find Jiang Wanli for treatment.
However, at that moment, Zhao Fanghua called.
"Junior Brother, Chen Qingyun has escaped!"
"What?"
Yun Fan was stunned. Chen Qingyun was the mastermind behind the Chen family's downfall. He never expected him to escape. Now it seemed that completing the mission was a distant prospect.
Because if Chen Qingyun didn't die, he might make a comeback. Without him to hold the fort, the Lin family probably wouldn't be able to withstand such a disaster.
"Search thoroughly, you must find him!"
"Okay!"
In fact, even Yun Fan knew that the chances of finding Chen Qingyun were slim.
Afterward, Hei Long entered.
"Boss, the person is here!"
With that, the almost stiff Granny Zhang was brought before Yun Fan.
"Speak, why did you harm Lin Tianxin?"
As soon as these words were spoken, Granny Zhang smiled, "You already know, why do you still ask this old woman?"
"You wanted her Xuan Yin physique?"
Yun Fan asked directly.
"That's right. I intended to seize her Xuan Yin physique, and then this old woman could recreate the glory of the Gu clan. I never expected you to ruin it. I wish I could tear you to a thousand pieces!"
Yun Fan sneered, "Go dream on!"
"Hmph!"
Granny Zhang snorted coldly, then roared at Yun Fan, "You killed the young master of the Heavenly Gate. The Gate Master will never let you off!"
"Even if this old woman departs first, when you descend to hell, I will tear you apart with my own hands!"
She hated Yun Fan intensely because he had thwarted her plans. In fact, Yun Fan had already guessed it.
And he knew that even without his interference, Granny Zhang would not have succeeded, because physiques are either destroyed or grown; no one can steal them.
"Too bad, you probably won't live to see me. Because the one who will die is him!"
Yun Fan said coldly, "In your eyes, perhaps the Heavenly Gate is the pinnacle. But in the eyes of my Ghost Valley sect, the Heavenly Gate is merely a slightly stronger ant!"
"Would you fear an ant?"
"You... you are from Ghost Valley?"
Granny Zhang's expression changed instantly. No matter what, she never expected Yun Fan to be from Ghost Valley. How strong Ghost Valley was, needed no explanation.
Because the Ghost Valley sect had transcended everything. Every sect leader of Ghost Valley had the power to change an era.
Even the Heavenly Gate, in the eyes of Ghost Valley, was merely a ripple in a great river.
Before Yun Fan could answer, Granny Zhang had already died of fright.
"Take her away and deal with her!"
"Yes!"
...
Outside Jiangnan City.
"Why did you save me?"
Chen Qingyun looked at the black shadow before him with a puzzled expression.
Even he hadn't expected Wang Tianba and the others to be wiped out by Yun Fan. Now he realized how terrifying Yun Fan was.
He regretted that the Chen family was too greedy and provoked Yun Fan. He even hated Yun Fan for meddling, leading to the Chen family's utter defeat in this conflict.
He had thought of dying with the Chen family, but he was saved by the person before him.
The black shadow said, "Because your Chen family has not yet perished. As long as you are alive, there is still a chance!"
"Is there still a chance?"
Chen Qingyun chuckled self-mockingly. Just knowing that Yun Fan had left the Heavenly Gate with only its master as a sole survivor made him realize that even if the Chen family were ten times stronger, they were destined to become Yun Fan's stepping stone. There was no chance at all.
The black shadow continued, "Perhaps not before, but now there is. Because of Wang Tianba's death, Wang Hushang will definitely not let Yun Fan off!"
"But can Wang Hushang spare the time to deal with Yun Fan?"
Chen Qingyun asked confusedly. Nightfall and the Heavenly Gate were at war. Now that the Heavenly Gate was left with only Wang Hushang as a solitary commander, he couldn't spare time to deal with Yun Fan. As for helping the Chen family, that was pure fantasy.
In the eyes of the Heavenly Gate, the Chen family was merely a source of wealth for them, dispensable.
"He certainly will. Because Nightfall is severely weakened, he must know that compared to the mere Nightfall, Yun Fan is the more terrifying existence. If he wants to win, he must kill Yun Fan first!"
The black shadow spoke with certainty.
A glimmer of hope appeared in Chen Qingyun's despairing eyes. "I'll go invite him to Jiangnan now!"
"Go ahead!"
The other party said with an air of seniority.
But Chen Qingyun asked, "Who exactly are you? You must have killed Bai Hu as well, right!"
"That's right!"
The other party said decisively, "Bai Hu was indeed killed by me, but I cannot tell you who I am!"
Upon hearing this, Chen Qingyun's face showed deep shock. "Since you could easily kill Bai Hu, why didn't you go kill Yun Fan?"
"Because I'm not confident I can kill him."
In fact, only he knew that provoking Yun Fan meant going to war with the entire Ghost Valley sect.
He wondered how many people in the world dared to oppose the Ghost Valley sect. Therefore, he wanted to use these ignorant fools of the Heavenly Gate to eliminate Yun Fan.
"So that's how it is!"
Chen Qingyun said, "Since we are on the same side, why don't you show your true face? I'd like to see who you are!"
Undoubtedly, even he didn't know there was such a powerful entity in Jiangnan, so he was eager to know the other party's true identity.
"Everyone who knew my identity is dead. Are you sure you want to see?"
Faced with the black shadow's question, Chen Qingyun shivered in fear.
"It was my fault for being presumptuous!"
Chen Qingyun no longer dwelled on the other party's identity and quickly turned to leave, as he wanted to live a few more years.
The black shadow sneered, "Yun Fan, defeating these trash is nothing to be proud of. We'll see what happens next."
...
After dealing with the Chen family, Yun Fan had a few days of rest. He stayed in his rented room during these days.
When he opened the package sent by Bai Zhilan, Yun Fan almost choked with anger.
Because this large box of gifts was entirely medicine, both Chinese and Western.
Of course, the most outrageous thing was that these were all medicines for impotence. Yun Fan almost lost his temper and immediately called Bai Zhilan.
"You've gone too far! Why did you buy me these strange medicines? I'm perfectly fine!"
Bai Zhilan replied on the phone, "I know you're feeling down, but many people have this condition. You need to move on from the gloom and accept treatment positively. I have class, bye!"
"You..."
Yun Fan had just spoken when the call was disconnected.
Fine! Yun Fan was too lazy to be angry.
Just as he hung up, a strange number called.
"Hello! Who is this?"
"Damn you, do you think you can escape just by hiding from me? I'm telling you, I'm not done with you about this!"
Hearing the other party's scolding, Yun Fan frowned. He hadn't expected Zhu Que to be not only foolish but also a shrew.
He had accidentally touched her, hadn't he? That thing was meant to be touched, wasn't it? Besides, he did it accidentally.
Therefore, Yun Fan said, "Leader Zhu Que, this cannot be blamed on me. If you don't say it and I don't say it, who will know!"
"You still have the nerve to say that? Now the entire Nightfall knows! Where am I supposed to put my face? If it weren't for the emergency at Nightfall, I would have kept my hands off yours, you..."
"Pa!"
Yun Fan hung up directly and blocked the number. If Zhu Que continued to quarrel, he would be annoyed to death.
He guessed that Ye Feng must have leaked his number. If he were in the Black Dragon Society now, he would definitely beat Ye Feng severely.
Of course, he couldn't entirely blame Ye Feng. After all, his charm was undeniable, and being doted on by beautiful women was a common occurrence.
Just then, Zhao Fanghua returned.
"Junior Brother, come on, Senior Sister will take you shopping for clothes!"
"Senior Sister, I have clothes!"
Yun Fan knew his fifth senior sister cared about him, but he didn't want to waste her money.
Zhao Fanghua said with regret, "Senior Sister will take you to meet someone tonight!"
"Meet who? Why dress so formally!"
Faced with Yun Fan's question, Zhao Fanghua said proudly, "The great celebrity Yang Xuejian!"
"Holy shit!"
Yun Fan was truly shocked. He knew Yang Xuejian; she was an international superstar. Although she was only in her twenties, she was already famous worldwide. It wouldn't be an exaggeration to say that her suitors could circle the Earth three and a half times.
Her acting skills were beyond question, and she was beautiful, with a beauty that could topple cities and nations, not inferior to the other women he knew.
Moreover, what was even more talked about was not her looks, but her principles in acting.
She refused kissing scenes, avoided socializing, and never got involved in scandals, earning her the title of the last line of defense in the entertainment industry.
He hadn't expected his fifth senior sister to take him to meet such a popular star in the entertainment industry; it was indeed a surprise.
But Yun Fan said, "Fifth Senior Sister, I'm not going!"
"Why?"
Zhao Fanghua was full of confusion. Such a beautiful female celebrity, and his junior brother had no interest. If she didn't know that her junior brother possessed the greatest male capital, she might have suspected if Yun Fan had some sort of problem. After all, many people dreamed of meeting Yang Xuejian, yet Yun Fan seemed indifferent.
Yun Fan said confidently, "Fifth Senior Sister, you know I'm a man of great charm. I attract too many women. If Yang Xuejian were to become obsessed with me, wouldn't I be cursed to death by her fans!"
In fact, even Yun Fan didn't know. It was as if he had been cursed. Beautiful women would fall head over heels for him upon seeing him. Of course, if he shamelessly included Zhu Que in that group, it was indeed the case.
"Pfft! So conceited!"
Zhao Fanghua said, "So Junior Brother prefers peace and quiet! But this time, you must obediently follow my arrangements!"
"Then... alright then!"
Unable to refuse such an enthusiastic invitation, Yun Fan could only agree, but Zhao Fanghua revealed a mischievous smile.
"Leng Ningshuang, I can't compete with you, but I can find a helper. And you will be left alone in Nanshan Village. This time, I win!"
