Supreme Hidden Dragon in the City-Chapter 464 Leaving

Mu Tianxiong glanced at Lu Jinyuan and Zhong Xinyao and asked, "Have you contacted Chen Fan?"

Both shook their heads with a somewhat solemn expression.

Zhong Xinyao said, "My people traced Chen Fan’s last whereabouts to a scenic area named Qingyang Town in the mountains surrounding Luoyun City. This scenic area was developed by the Sun Family of Luoyun City, and it was at their invitation that Chen Fan and his company went there."

"My people specifically went to Qingyang Town and made inquiries. They eventually tracked down to the homestay management director’s house in Qingyang Town, where Chen Fan and Su Qingyan were staying. According to their daughter, Chen Fan and Su Qingyan, along with a woman named An Lan, encountered a mysterious flying figure in a black robe after an evening outing at a park. The black-robed figure took Su Qingyan and An Lan away, and Chen Fan chased after them on his sword, after which he was never heard from again."

"It was also from that day on that Chen Fan’s cellphone could never be reached. We have sent many people to search the surrounding area of Qingyang Town, but have found no trace of them."

Mu Tianxiong frowned and asked, "Chasing on his sword?"

Zhong Xinyao nodded, "According to the girl’s description, Chen Fan stood on top of a sword and soared into the air, following the black-robed figure."

Jiang Taiyi said, "The Master is indeed a true Cultivator, so the method of Sword Flight is nothing strange."

Guan Xiaotian cut in, "It’s that mysterious black-robed figure who could fly through the air whose strength is probably even greater than the Master’s. Now that the Master has vanished without a trace, I fear the worst, but everyone can be assured that the Master must still be alive; our spiritual soul contract still allows us to sense his presence."

Because of Chen Fan’s disappearance for many days, Mu Tianxiong and Zhong Xinyao had both come to know the secret that Chen Fan was a Cultivator.

Lu Jinyuan still had a tight frown as he said, "Without Chen Fan, we have no way of contending with the people of the Divine Covenant. They’ve already taken over the Hillside Villa in Jiangcheng. Had I not taken the Formation Core of the Five Elements Fusion Spirit Formation away in advance, they would have truly fallen into their hands."

Guan Xiaotian snorted coldly, "I had always thought the Divine Covenant was an organization of justice, opposing those evil Sects and upholding righteousness. Just a couple of years ago, I had almost decided to join them. But I never imagined they would be so shameless. Seeing how the Life Spiritual Liquid can greatly help Martial Arts, they actually wanted to forcefully seize the Five Elements Fusion Spirit Formation, especially that Xiao Zhantian. Pity, I used to think he was a gentleman; now it seems he’s the most sinister of them all!"

The cause of all this trouble began with the development of Qingfan Pharmaceuticals in the Capital.

Lu Jinyuan, with Chen Fan’s help in overcoming all obstacles, successfully opened up Qingfan Pharmaceuticals’ market in the Capital.

After all, the effects of the Life Spiritual Liquid were clear for all to see. Once it hit the market, it became a sensation across all circles, to the extent that it was in short supply, and there were even scalpers selling it at marked-up prices in a short time.

Before long, some Martial Artists discovered that they could rapidly enhance their strength with the Life Spiritual Liquid, and even those who had been stuck at a certain bottleneck for years achieved breakthroughs with its help.

The existence of Life Spiritual Liquid instantly spread throughout the entire Martial Arts Circle of the Capital, naturally including the Divine Covenant.

Initially, the experts of the Divine Covenant thought the Life Spiritual Liquid was just some deceiving substance, but after some Divine Realm experts used it out of curiosity, they were amazed to find that it had a significant effect even for experts at their level.

For Divine Realm experts, the biggest challenge is making breakthroughs, which often require the aid of Heaven and Earth Spiritual Objects, so the emergence of the Life Spiritual Liquid was nothing short of a thrilling surprise for them. If they could keep getting Life Spiritual Liquid continuously, they wouldn’t need to worry about their cultivation anymore.

Thus, a large number of Divine Realm experts rushed to purchase Life Spiritual Liquid, instantly buying out all of Qingfan Pharmaceuticals’ reserves in the Capital.

Not long after, this matter reached Xiao Zhantian’s ears. He directly approached Lu Jinyuan, wanting to buy out Qingfan Pharmaceuticals at a high price and asking Lu Jinyuan to hand over the formula for the Life Spiritual Liquid.

Lu Jinyuan naturally refused, directly rejecting him.

Xiao Zhantian did not make things difficult for Lu Jinyuan, and after being refused, he left.

Later, when Lu Jinyuan returned to Jiang City to retrieve the Innate Spiritual Liquid, he did not expect to be secretly followed by Xiao Zhantian, who then discovered the secret of the Five Elements Fusion Spirit Formation.

Xiao Zhantian was shocked by the Five Elements Fusion Spirit Formation and after seeing the Innate Spiritual Liquid condensed by the Formation, he became even more excited, having a clear feeling that with the help of that milky liquid, he would be able to break through in no time.

He showed obvious covetousness towards the Five Elements Fusion Spirit Formation, but as a member of the Divine Covenant, he did not feel good about forcibly taking it, proposing instead to use the power of the Divine Covenant’s Capital division to purchase the Formation.

Lu Jinyuan naturally did not agree, but Xiao Zhantian’s attitude was extremely firm. After all, this concerned the future cultivation path for him and numerous Divine Covenant experts. He gave Lu Jinyuan three days to consider.

If Lu Jinyuan still refused after three days, the Divine Covenant would take some special measures, and it was not hard to guess what these so-called special measures meant.

Fortunately, when Chen Fan originally put Lu Jinyuan in charge of managing the Five Elements Fusion Spirit Formation, he had told him how to remove the Formation Core to prevent geologic disasters like earthquakes and landslides, since the Cold Jade Marrow was of great value; as long as he kept it, Chen Fan could refine another Five Elements Fusion Spirit Formation at any time.

Lu Jinyuan had not anticipated a geologic disaster, but what had come instead was the people from the Divine Covenant. He made a decisive decision, directly took the Cold Jade Marrow, brought it to the Capital, and informed the people close to Chen Fan. This led to today’s meeting.

Jiang Taiyi said with a serious expression, "The Divine Covenant has numerous experts. Just relying on our first and third-grade powers, we simply can’t contend with them. Although the Cold Jade Marrow is hidden in a safe place, if the people from the Divine Covenant get ruthless, we absolutely cannot withstand them. This issue can only be resolved when the master returns."

Mu Tianxiong sighed, "Chen Fan’s whereabouts are unknown, we can’t contact him at all. Now, it really is like it’s raining on our leaky house."

As soon as he finished speaking, the water cup on the table began to tremble lightly.

Jiang Taiyi and Guan Xiaotian looked at each other and almost simultaneously stood up, shouting in unison, "The people from the Divine Covenant are here!"

...

At Wang Yao’s home.

An Lan bit her lip, her eyes brimming with tears, and full of grievance as she stared at Chen Fan, questioning, "Why won’t you take me with you!"

Chen Fan said somewhat helplessly, "I know that if it weren’t for you, I might already be dead. You are my lifesaver, and I’m very grateful to you in my heart. I can also feel your affection for me, but my heart is already occupied by Qingyan, and there’s no room left for anyone else. Feelings can’t be forced. You are beautiful and so accomplished, I believe you will definitely meet someone better than me."

Upon hearing this, An Lan ran straight up to him and began pounding on his chest, shouting, "You jerk, is this your way of giving me a pity card? I don’t want your damn pity card!"

With sincere face, Chen Fan said, "These are my true thoughts."

An Lan snorted, "But Su Qingyan has already been taken away by that man in the black robe. Maybe you’ll never see her again in this lifetime. Why can’t you consider me for once?"

Chen Fan said, "The man in the black robe is indeed mysterious, and she is very strong. I don’t know where she will take Qingyan. But I can’t just give up. Even if it means betting my whole life, I must find Qingyan and bring her back."

When An Lan heard this, her heart felt bitter. If anyone else had said these words, she would have been moved, but when Chen Fan said them, she just wanted to beat this guy hard and make him change his mind.

"What about me? I’m the one who saved your life. Shouldn’t you listen to me? I order you not to go looking for Su Qingyan!" An Lan said, making an unreasonable fuss.

Chen Fan sighed, "If you really need me in the future, I will risk my life for you. But before that, I have to find Qingyan first."

Seeing Chen Fan’s determination, An Lan’s tears fell pitter-patter.

She didn’t want to back down like this and said through gritted teeth, "You can leave, but sleep with me first. After that, no matter where you go, I won’t care and won’t cling to you."

Chen Fan said, "Stop it."

An Lan screamed hysterically, "Who’s messing with you! If you don’t agree, I’ll follow you for the rest of my life!"

Chen Fan stared at her for a long time, his eyes filled with complexity, and eventually, he could only say, "Calm down first. I need to say goodbye to Uncle Wang and his family."

After saying that, he turned and left the room to tell the Wang Dequan family about his upcoming departure.

The Wang Dequan family felt a bit of reluctance about Chen Fan and An Lan’s departure. After all, their fate would not have changed without the two of them.

But the Wang Dequan family knew that Chen Fan was no ordinary person, and such a figure was not meant to stay in a small county town forever.

Therefore, they just offered their best wishes and did not say anything to retain him.

After saying goodbye to the Wang Dequan family, Chen Fan returned to An Lan’s room.

By then, An Lan had dried her tears, but her eyes were still a bit swollen and red.

Chen Fan looked at her with a trace of guilt and asked, "Have you calmed down now?" freewebnøvel.com

An Lan fixed her gaze on Chen Fan without saying a word. Then she stepped forward, wrapped her arms around his neck, and kissed his lips.

Chen Fan instinctively tried to push An Lan away, but her grip was tight, and she carried a determined air about her.

Perhaps out of guilt, Chen Fan abandoned the idea of pushing An Lan away and instead relaxed.

Seeing this, An Lan pressed herself tightly against Chen Fan and began kissing him fiercely.

After a long time, An Lan finally let go of Chen Fan, satisfied, wiped the saliva from the corner of her mouth, and told him, "You can go now. I never want to see you again in my life!"

Chen Fan looked at her in this state and tentatively asked, "Should I really go?"

An Lan exclaimed impatiently, "Just get out of here!"

Chen Fan breathed a sigh of relief and sincerely said to An Lan, "Thank you. If you run into trouble, contact me immediately. I am willing to give my life for you."

After saying that, he quickly left the room, left Wang Dequan’s house, and headed for the bus station in Jade River County.

He needed to take the bus to a nearby big city and then a flight to the Capital.

After Chen Fan left, An Lan couldn’t hold back anymore and sat down at the table, bursting into a huge sob.

A long time passed, and her mood gradually calmed down. She suddenly regretted letting Chen Fan go like that.

"How could I be so foolish to let him go just because he said he wanted to? If I keep clinging to him, he’ll surely develop feelings for me one day," she thought.

"No, I can’t give up like this. I’ve set my heart on this one man for my whole life. I must tie him to my side and make sure he can never leave me."

As this thought surfaced in her mind, An Lan’s gaze fell on the bracelet on her wrist.

She remembered the terror of the black-robed person that night. If only she had that kind of power, it would be no trouble at all to manipulate a guy like Chen Fan.

"I will also become an invincible fairy - no, a goddess. Chen Fan, just wait for me. One day, I, the goddess, will make it impossible for you to escape from the palm of my hand!" she vowed.

Then she took off the bracelet, bit her finger, and dripped a drop of blood onto it.

In the blink of an eye, a white light appeared, enveloping An Lan within it.
