Super War God in the City-Chapter 567: Reunion with an Old Friend!
At this moment, inside the large courtyard of the Sakura Association's headquarters.
About a hundred and ten people, each holding powerful custom-made firearms, were surrounding a man and a woman.
There were some martial artists within the Sakura Association, but there were no experts, at least none that could compare to the Martial Alliance.
A force equivalent to the Grandmaster Realm was out of the question; such mighty beings would never stoop to join a minor temple like the Sakura Association.
Yukieko knew that these subordinates couldn't possibly withstand an assault from the Martial Alliance, yet the members of the Sakura Association showed no fear.
Although the firearms in their hands might not deal a fatal blow to the two in front of them, they still posed a threat, as the saying goes: "Even ants can bite an elephant to death!"
The two standing in the courtyard of the Sakura Association were none other than Nami Amayama and Asahi Shiro.
The two were vigilantly observing their surroundings, not wary of the petty underlings with their makeshift guns, but on guard for that mysterious Ling Fan who had challenged the Martial Alliance!
As for Nami Amayama, standing in the middle of the courtyard, she felt incredibly tense, her arms hidden behind her trembling slightly, her eyes showing flickers of trepidation.
Just then, a handsome young man arrived casually, accompanied by the strikingly beautiful Yukieko.
Upon seeing Ling Fan, Nami Amayama's delicate body shuddered, her heart felt like it was being fiercely squeezed, and her eyes instantly filled with tears!
Asahi Shiro, standing beside her, also fixed his gaze on Ling Fan the moment he saw him. His entire body tensed up, every pore on alert!
The sight of this guy beating down Maemoto Kento and furiously killing Kohara Aozora was still etched in his memory, as if it had happened right before his eyes.
Now, seeing Ling Fan in person, he felt a chill in his heart and secretly regretted coming here!
At this point, Asahi Shiro was staring intensely at Ling Fan, like a cat that had had its hackles raised, completely oblivious to the emotional changes in Nami Amayama beside him.
What he really wanted to do now was figure out if the guy in front of him was indeed Ling Beiming. He had taken part in that battle two years ago, and this guy in front of him was just too similar to Ling Beiming!
When Ling Fan arrived in the middle of the courtyard, the personnel of the Sakura Association instinctively cleared a path for him.
However, when Ling Fan got a clear view of the two in front of him, he also came to a sudden halt, or to be precise, when he saw Nami Amayama, he was taken aback!
But at this time, Asahi Shiro and Nami Amayama, standing together, did not notice that Ling Fan's gaze held a strange fluctuation because of seeing Nami Amayama.
He only felt that Ling Fan's gaze was intensely focused on him, betraying an emotion that clearly indicated recognition!
"You... you're Ling Beiming?" With his heart pounding uncontrollably and his mouth dry, Asahi Shiro swallowed hard and asked tremulously.
Hearing Asahi Shiro's question, Ling Fan momentarily paused before regaining his composure, reining in the intense emotions in his heart and not looking at Nami Amayama again.
Instead, he looked at Asahi Shiro indifferently and said, "Heh, you actually remember me. I recall every single person who was there two years ago quite clearly, and I haven't dared forget any of them over the years!"
Upon hearing this, Asahi Shiro felt as if he had lost a soul, his eyes widened, and he stammered, "Y-you... you really are Ling Beiming?
How... how can you possibly still be alive?"
Asahi Shiro was completely bewildered, his heart trembling with shock, and just by facing the name Ling Beiming, he felt utterly devoid of any will to fight!
After his shock subsided, he suddenly yelled at Nami Amayama beside him, "Run, he's the real Ling Beiming..."
"Pff!"
Before he could finish his words, he saw a sharp knife thrust from his back, piercing his heart.
Asahi Shiro looked at the glaring knife tip protruding from his chest, dripping with his blood, his mind a blank haze, unable to comprehend what was happening!
"Protector Amayama, you..." Asahi Shiro uttered weakly.
Without finishing his sentence, the sharp knife was abruptly pulled out from his back.
Asahi Shiro spat out a mouthful of blood and fell to the ground, his eyes wide open even in death!
Until his death, he never understood why Nami Amayama would attack him!
Yukieko, standing beside Ling Fan, had a bewildered expression on her face, the sudden turn of events had thrown her thoughts into chaos—this wasn't the script she knew!
Even the surrounding members of the Sakura Association were dumbfounded, petrified and motionless on the spot!
Nami Amayama sheathed her katana, her gaze at Ling Fan brimming with shimmering tears.
Ling Fan sighed. He hadn't contacted her upon his arrival in Snow Country precisely because he didn't want to involve her; still, he hadn't expected that not having seen each other for two years, she would become a protector for the Martial Alliance!
"Princess, you...," Ling Fan called out, at a loss for words for a moment.
Nami Amayama, a member of the Elder Leisure People and nicknamed 'Mermaid,' was affectionately called 'Princess' by everyone!
In the astonished eyes of the crowd, Nami Amayama rushed into Ling Fan's arms and angrily scolded him through teary eyes, "Damn you, if you weren't dead why didn't you tell me? Such a big event as you coming to Snow Country and you didn't notify me; do you know how I've spent these last two years?"
Ling Fan took a deep breath and gently patted Nami Amayama's back, explaining, "It's not that I didn't notify you. This visit to Snow Country involves serious matters. You are a person of Snow Country, I didn't want to drag you into trouble and put you in a difficult position!"
"Bastard, you're not valuing me, not caring about me, not keeping your old friend in your heart, you bastard!" Nami Amayama complained, her frustration unabated, as she bit into Official Ling's shoulder.
Ling Fan didn't dare to use his energy to resist, grimacing in pain, he let Nami Amayama vent her anger.
After what seemed like an eternity, she finally released her bite, only to find that she had bitten Ling Fan's shoulder so hard that blood was streaming out.
Nami Amayama was immediately startled and hurriedly took out the antiseptic medicine from her body.
Ling Fan grabbed her hand, saying indifferently, "It's nothing, I deserve this, keep it. Have you calmed down now?"
Nami Amayama's lips trembled, her heart nearly melted. She had bitten him so severely, yet he was still concerned about her!
"Yukieko, can we trust the people here?" Ling Fan suddenly asked Yukieko.
He knew that this was not the time for romance. Nami Amayama must have had her reasons for joining the Martial Alliance.
If word got out that he had killed Asahi Shiro, it would spell trouble for Nami Amayama, and she might not be able to stay in Snow Country anymore!
By now, even the dumbest among the onlookers could see that these two knew each other and were incredibly close.

Seeing that Nami Amayama would kill her own teammate for Ling Fan spoke volumes about her commitment as a Martial Alliance protector.
Yukieko, not being foolish, quickly realized the gravity of the situation and nodded, "Master, rest assured, leave it to me to handle!"
She then called Murakami Akemi over and whispered something in her ear.
Suddenly, several people with shifty eyes started to drift backwards in the crowd.
As for the spies planted by other factions within the headquarters, Yukieko had long since figured them out but hadn't bothered to deal with them.
Because if you killed one, the enemies would just send another. It was much better to identify and secretly monitor them!
Suddenly, Murakami Akemi shouted, "Take action!"
As her voice fell, those few who had just begun to retreat were promptly shot in the head and killed on the spot.
"Master, the issue has been handled," Yukieko reported respectfully.
Ling Fan nodded slightly, very satisfied with Yukieko's intelligence and execution, "Instruct your people well, let's talk inside."
After giving the order, Ling Fan led Nami Amayama into the grand hall.
A figure lurking in the distant shadows witnessed everything, fell silent for a moment, and then vanished from the spot!
