Chapter 148: Chapter 148

Cang Yun’s eyes bulged, thinking to himself that this youngster really didn’t recognize a treasure when he saw one, this was the Array Plate of the Spirit Gathering Array!

He revealed a smile, "The effect of your formation definitely isn’t as good as the Spirit Gathering Array. Like this, I’ll give you a demonstration and then you’ll know."

Afterward, he channeled his mana into the Array Plate of the Spirit Gathering Array, and a burst of light shone forth, creating a small barrier within a three-meter radius.

Within the barrier, the Spiritual Energy indeed felt richer than in other places.

Cang Yun, a master enshrouded by Spiritual Energy, said with a face filled with satisfaction, "Chen, do you feel the change around you? This formation gathers the essence of heaven and earth, and it will make your cultivation twice as effective with half the effort."

"Don’t be too astonished. Although your Dao Practice is not shallow, after all, you don’t have the support of a complete cultivation system, so it’s normal that you’ve never seen such a miraculous formation."

Chen Fan couldn’t help but respond with a bitter laugh, "Forget it then, I’ll let you experience my formation too."

Subsequently, he clapped his hands gently, and the spell inscriptions of the Five Elements Fusion Spirit Formation instantly spread across the entire villa, lighting up with dazzling brilliance.

Cang Yun was dumbstruck; since he had started down the path of cultivation, he had never seen such a massive formation.

"What... What level of achievement is required to craft such a complex and mysterious formation?"

"But, why do I feel no change at all around me? Your formation isn’t just for show, is it?"

Chen Fan smiled, opening a small gap in the Formation Core’s barrier.

The overwhelming Spiritual Energy instantly filled the entire villa.

In that moment, Cang Yun almost thought he had arrived in the Immortal Realm, completely stunned in place.

Chen Fan closed the gap in the barrier, saying with a smile, "The effect of my formation is quite strong, so I normally restrict it to a very small area."

"Quite strong..." Cang Yun murmured to himself, glancing down at the Array Plate in his hands, his face involuntarily reddened with embarrassment.

Wasn’t this just humiliating himself?

He awkwardly smiled at Chen, "Chen, you’re the most talented cultivator I’ve ever met; I was presumptuous."

Then he changed the subject, "Chen, would you be interested in joining the Shen Family? With your talent, combined with the resources of the Shen Family, it’s possible you could achieve Merging Paths in the future. By then, you will truly stand above all as a mighty being!"

Chen Fan waved his hand, "Sorry, I’m quite content on my own."

Cang Yun showed a look of disappointment but did not press further, turning to Shen Lingdie, "Lingdie, let’s go."

Shen Lingdie said, "I still have things to do, wait another two days for me."

She then looked at Chen Fan, "Accompany me to the welfare institute tomorrow."

Chen Fan guessed that she wanted to say goodbye to the children at the welfare institute and nodded with a smile, "Okay."

...

The next morning.

Shen Lingdie arrived at Hillside Villa early.

"Your cooking is delicious, make it for me one more time."

Chen Fan didn’t refuse and prepared a special breakfast for Shen Lingdie on purpose.

While eating, Chen Fan asked, "Why did you run away from home?"

Shen Lingdie’s actions halted, she looked down at her plate for a few seconds and then said, "I’m not telling you."

Chen Fan did not press further and took out a unique talisman, handing it to Shen Lingdie.

"Carry this talisman with you. If you encounter danger, crush it; it will save your life once, and at the same time, I will sense it. Considering how bravely you faced Huang Tianba that time, I will drop everything and come to rescue you."

Shen Lingdie took the talisman and looked at Chen Fan, "What if I miss you, can I crush it?"

Chen Fan rolled his eyes, "No."

"Ao." Shen Lingdie said nothing and put away the talisman.

After dinner, the two headed to the supermarket together. After purchasing a pile of gifts, they finally made their way to the Sunshine Welfare Institute.

The driver dropped the two off at the entrance of the welfare home.

As soon as they got out of the car, Chen Fan saw several excavators parked in front of the institute, with a crowd of onlookers gathered around.

Shen Lingdie stared straight at the scene, "What is going on here?"

Chen Fan frowned slightly and walked over with Shen Lingdie.

A bald man with a baseball bat blocked the entrance of the welfare home, looking fierce.

Guo Sujuan faced him, her hair disheveled, face pale, and eyes slightly red and swollen.

The bald man glared at Guo Sujuan, "I advise you to be sensible and quickly take these brats and get lost. We have acquired the demolition permit, and even if you try to stop us, this welfare home must be demolished!"

Guo Sujuan was full of sorrow and anger, "That demolition permit is clearly forged! The welfare home has had the right to use this land for seventy years, and I have all the necessary paperwork. You are clearly after the location of the welfare home, so you want to forcibly demolish the home of me and the children!"

"You’re a devil!"

The bald man spat on the ground, "Damn it, I have bought this land, and I’ll demolish it however I want. If you don’t come to your senses, I’ll pour you and these brats straight into the concrete, and you can stay here for the rest of your lives!"

Guo Sujuan quickly shielded all the children behind her and hysterically stared at the bald man, "Then you’ll have to walk over my dead body!"

The bald man became enraged and kicked Guo Sujuan to the ground, then lifted his baseball bat and smashed it down.

"Damn it, you really think I wouldn’t dare!"

The baseball bat was hurtling towards Guo Sujuan’s head.

Guo Sujuan already had the heart to face death.

If her death could protect the welfare home for the children, then everything was worth it.

She closed her eyes, and tears streamed down.

Just as the baseball bat was about to strike her head, a hand reached out, firmly gripping the opposite end of the bat.

Bald Liu was stunned, he had just put all his strength into the swing and couldn’t believe someone managed to stop his bat in mid-air.

Anger burned within Chen Fan, "You strike so hard, you really want to kill her?"

Bald Liu glanced at Chen Fan, "So what if I killed her? Just one life, I, Bald Liu, can handle it!"

"What are you? Dare to meddle in my business, I’ll take you down too!"

Upon hearing this response, Chen Fan’s face grew completely frosty; the end of the baseball bat was squeezed out of shape.

He kicked Bald Liu in the stomach.

Bang!

Bald Liu’s body flew like a cannonball, smashing the excavator’s glass and crashing into the excavator.

He struggled to get up, spat out a mouthful of blood, and looked at Chen Fan with murderous eyes, "I’m going to fight you to the death!"

Then he actually sat in the driver’s seat, started the excavator, and drove straight towards Chen Fan!
