Chapter 135: Chapter 135: The Summit of Cloud Mountain

Everyone was startled.

Su Jinyun hurriedly stepped forward, tugging at Shen Lingdie, "Don’t be foolish, now is not the time to be serious!"

Shen Lingdie held her head high with pride, "But what he said is just not right!"

Huang Tianba sized up Shen Lingdie and scoffed, "You even dare to speak up for that beast Chen Fan, what are you to him?"

Shen Lingdie replied firmly, "I am his future wife!"

The members of the Su Family all had strange looks on their faces.

Huang Tianba sneered, "Are you not afraid that I will kill you?"

Shen Lingdie nodded, "Afraid."

Huang Tianba was speechless, "Then why still speak up for Chen Fan?"

Shen Lingdie said, "Afraid, but still need to speak."

After pondering for a moment, Huang Tianba huffed coldly, "Since you have such guts, then come with me!"

He walked up to Shen Lingdie, grabbed her arm, turned his head, and swept a glance at the members of the Su Family, "I will wait for Chen Fan at the summit of Cloud Mountain for three days. If he does not show up after three days, I will kill this girl!"

Having said that, he forcefully took Shen Lingdie away with him.

Only then did the members of the Su Family breathe a sigh of relief.

"That Miss Shen really is tough-headed, facing Huang Tianba so formidable, yet she dared speak up for Chen Fan."

"Indeed, but she said she is Chen Fan’s future wife, what does that mean? Isn’t she and Qingyan good friends?"

"Who cares, it’s her own downfall. We can’t blame this on us."

...

Su Jinyun looked anxious, turning to Su Zhenyun, "Brother, what should we do now?"

A member of the Su Family said, "No need to worry too much. After all, the one taken away isn’t one of our own. We can only say that we did our best to help. If we really can’t help, then it’s just Miss Shen’s bad luck."

Many people in the Su Family echoed this sentiment.

As long as the people of the Su Family were not affected, they did not need to worry too much.

Su Zhenyun, however, had a grave expression, "This matter is not as simple as you all think. Lingdie’s identity carries great implications. If something truly happens to her in Jiangbei, the Su Family could very well face a catastrophe!"

Everyone was shocked.

They only knew that Shen Lingdie was Su Qingyan’s best friend and not a local of Jiangbei; they were unaware of Shen Lingdie’s true identity.

Now, hearing what Su Zhenyun said, they realized Shen Lingdie’s identity was definitely not simple.

The Su Family member who had spoken earlier paused and quickly added, "Then... then quickly contact Chen Fan, let him hurry back. Isn’t he a Grandmaster? He should certainly be able to deal with Huang Tianba."

Su Zhenyun looked toward the bisected willow tree, his eyes filled with apprehension, "Chen Fan is indeed a Grandmaster, but the technique Huang Tianba just displayed, I have only seen from Elder Si. If I’m not mistaken, Huang Tianba has broken through to the Transformation Realm. Chen Fan... may not be his match."

The members of the Su Family gasped in shock.

"A Grandmaster of the Transformation Realm! Even if Chen Fan returns, wouldn’t he just be slaughtered?"

"This Chen Fan is really something, not much prowess but a lot of trouble he’s caused."

"Sigh, now the Su Family is going to suffer with him."

Previously, with only eighty percent of his strength, Elder Si had forced Chen Fan into a dead end. They had already experienced the terror of a Grandmaster of the Transformation Realm.

Su Zhenyun also looked worried and took a deep breath before saying, "No matter what, first contact Chen Fan and discuss how to deal with this."

Su Jinyun beside him nodded and quickly took out her phone to call Chen Fan.

However, her expression soon turned frantic.

Su Zhenyun looked at Su Jinyun and asked, "What’s wrong?"

Su Jinyun murmured, "Chen Fan... has turned off his phone."

...

Cloud Mountain, one of the most famous tourist attractions in Jiang City.

It’s known for its towering and steep landscape, beautiful scenery.

Right now, on the climbing trail, a large number of tourists were slowly making their way up.

"The steepness of Cloud Mountain really lives up to its reputation. We’ve been climbing for so long and have only reached midway. By the time we get to the top, it will probably be almost dark, and we’ll have to take the cable car down," one tourist remarked.

At this moment, someone exclaimed, "Look over there, quickly!"

The crowd turned their heads in unison.

They saw an elder in hemp clothing, taking a young and beautiful girl up the side of the mountain at breakneck speed. With every step, he leaped up more than ten meters, and in a few breaths, he had already left the tourists midway up the mountain far behind.

The daunting steepness of Cloud Mountain seemed to not exist in the eyes of the elder in hemp clothing.

"Is... is this a TV shoot? Could that person be hanging on wires?"

"Goodness, that old man is even carrying a girl. Even if it were wires, it wouldn’t be this exaggerated, right?"

"Damn it, that was just too fast. I didn’t have time to react. If I had known, I would’ve recorded it on my phone."

...

At the summit of Cloud Mountain.

Huang Tianba set Shen Lingdie down.

At this moment, Shen Lingdie’s face was pale, and she felt nauseous, like she was going to throw up from motion sickness.

Huang Tianba stared at Shen Lingdie, "If you admit now that Chen Fan is an ignorant fool, a beast, a vile and wicked person, I can let you off the hook."

Shen Lingdie kept a straight face, "You are the ignorant fool, the beast, the vile and wicked one!"

Huang Tianba’s face darkened, "Fool!"

Then, he took some rope and hung Shen Lingdie on a centuries-old pine tree at the top of the mountain.

"Since you’re so spirited, hang here for three days and see if Chen Fan will come to save you!"

Huang Tianba sat cross-legged on a huge rock, began to meditate with his eyes closed.

At the same time, Liu Hualong, with the disciples from the Extreme Path Martial Hall, arrived in Jiang City and started spreading the news about Huang Tianba challenging Chen Fan at the summit of Cloud Mountain.

As Huang Tianba had broken through to be a Grandmaster of the Transformation Realm, he naturally needed an opportunity to make his name known.

Chen Fan, having defeated Li Yuancang, had also built some reputation in the Jiangbei Martial Arts Circle. He naturally became a perfect stepping stone for Huang Tianba, who needed only to step on him to shake the Martial Arts Circle of Jiangbei once more.

Almost overnight, this news spread throughout the Martial Arts Circle of Jiangbei.

Suddenly, masters from all directions rushed to Jiang City, just to witness the first battle of a Transformation Realm Grandmaster.

Cloud Mountain instantly became the busiest place in all of Jiang City.

Some ordinary folks, hearing that there was going to be a fight on Cloud Mountain, also ran to join in the excitement.

When they found out that one of the fighters was a martial arts expert and the other was Chen Fan, they couldn’t stop laughing.

"Isn’t Chen Fan that son-in-law who came through the door? I heard he was later kicked out. How did he manage to provoke a martial arts master to the point of setting up a fight with him on Cloud Mountain?"

"This is hilarious; how could Chen Fan, with whatever little ability or merit he has, be taken so seriously by a martial arts expert? If they wanted to beat him up, why not just go to his house?"

"I actually heard from a martial arts practicing friend that Chen Fan is pretty formidable. Maybe he really does have some skills. Otherwise, why would that martial arts expert take the initiative to wait for him on Cloud Mountain?"

"Even if he does have some skills, it’s probably nothing more than trifling abilities. Making such a big fuss, it’s likely that the martial arts expert wants to completely ruin Chen Fan’s reputation."
