Supreme Hidden Dragon in the City
Chapter 303

Chapter 303: 303

"Lingdie, this girl, simply through painting, could enter Dao; placed in the Cultivation World, she’s undoubtedly one in ten thousand, a genius. If she were to cooperate with me and absorb the Power of Taiyin from the Taiyi Twin Lotuses, it would be quite an opportunity for her."

Once he had made up his mind, Chen Fan looked once more at the Taiyi Twin Lotuses in the pond, and after careful observation, he was sure that the lotus seeds growing on them would mature within half a month.

The seeds of the Taiyi Twin Lotuses were also rare treasures of the world, containing the essence of Yin and Yang Power. Just one seed could cause a normal person to be reborn, not unlike taking an Immortal Pill.

For cultivators, consuming one would greatly enhance their cultivation strength, the effect even more potent than some of the finest elixirs.

"Once these lotus seeds are mature, they could be saved for later when it’s time to break through to the Golden Core Realm."

Chen Fan was very aware of the difficulty in breaking through from the Foundation Establishment Realm to the Golden Core Realm. He was about to break through to the late stage of Foundation Establishment, and once his realm was stable, he would need to think about Core Formation, so he had to prepare early.

"Core Formation is much more difficult than breaking through from the middle to the late stage of Foundation Establishment, but if I truly succeed in forming my Golden Core, with my strength, given Earth’s current condition, I really could be considered a powerhouse capable of stirring up storms."

Of course, that’s assuming there are no other hidden cultivators on Earth.

Moreover, after his encounter with Lu Jiuxuan today, Chen Fan had also felt the formidable nature of what’s called the Divine Realm. He would naturally not fear anyone of the same level, but with a realm even a step higher, even he would have to avoid their edge.

With thousands of years of heritage in Huaxia’s Martial Arts and spells, Chen Fan naturally wouldn’t believe that Lu Jiuxuan was the only one in the Half-Step Divine Realm.

"The path of cultivation is arduous and long; I must keep striving!"

After reflecting briefly, Chen Fan didn’t think further. He set up several restrictions inside the cave before turning to leave.

...

At the Shen Family estate.

The Shen Family’s senior members were all gathered in the council hall, the atmosphere somewhat tense.

Shen Ronghua paced back and forth in the hall, anxiety written all over his face.

Watching Shen Ronghua pacing before her, Dong Xiaoran felt irked and said, "Can you stop pacing in front of me? It’s annoying!"

Shen Ronghua looked at Dong Xiaoran and said, "I’m annoying? You..."

Dong Xiaoran glared at him, causing him to swallow the words he was about to say.

"I won’t stoop to arguing with a woman like you!"

At this moment, one of the Shen Family’s higher-ups spoke up, "Patriarch, although this matter was stirred up by that kid Chen Fan, the fact remains that Zhang Beiyuan died in our Shen Family’s hands. Lu Jiuxuan is unlikely to let us off; we must quickly devise a strategy to cope."

Shen Ronghua, with a serious expression, said, "I too want to know how to deal with this, but that’s Lu Jiuxuan, the number one in spells in Gang City. Even if I rack my brains, I still have no idea how to face him!"

Everyone sighed repeatedly.

At this point, Shen Lingdie spoke up, "Father, don’t worry, Chen Fan will take care of that old man."

Shen Ronghua looked at Shen Lingdie and said, resigned, "My foolish daughter, you’re too naïve. Lu Jiuxuan is such a figure; he’s not someone that brash young man can easily handle. For all we know, he might already be dead at Lu Jiuxuan’s hands."

Tian Ying agreed saying, "Indeed, miss, I admit I underestimated that guy before, but no matter how formidable he is, in front of Master Lu, he’s just a joke. Putting our hopes on him is even less reliable than going to Master Lu to beg for mercy right now."

Dong Xiaoran also sighed, "Lu Jiuxuan is someone who doesn’t tolerate offenses against those close to him, and that Chen Fan even took Zhang Beiyuan’s corpse to Azure Dragon Mountain. With that, I fear he’s more likely to meet with misfortune than not."

Then a voice sounded, "Auntie, you worry too much."

Everyone heard the voice and immediately turned their gaze toward the entrance hall, where a figure had appeared seemingly out of nowhere.

It was Chen Fan!

Chen Fan stepped inside.

Shen Lingdie stood up excitedly, ran up to Chen Fan, and said, "I just knew it, my husband never lets people down!"

Chen Fan went straight for a knock on the head, "Talk nonsense again, and I’ll explode your head."

Shen Lingdie covered her head, "Ow, that hurts, bad man, you’re abusing me."

The Shen Family members all looked at Chen Fan with incredulity on their faces; they had all thought that once Chen Fan left, he would never return, but here he was, back again.

Shen Ronghua quickly stepped forward and asked, "You... you’ve seen Lu Jiuxuan?"

Chen Fan nodded.

Shen Ronghua had a puzzled look on his face, "That doesn’t make sense. With Lu Jiuxuan’s personality, after you killed his disciple, he would definitely not have let you go, but how did you return unharmed?"

Chen Fan said indifferently, "Because I killed Lu Jiuxuan too."

Everyone was shocked.

Shen Ronghua’s face was filled with horror, "You... you killed Lu Jiuxuan? How is that possible!"

Chen Fan shrugged and said, "I originally planned to reason with him, but he wouldn’t listen to persuasion. I had no choice but to kill him."

The Shen Family members all took in a cold breath.

"Forced... Forced to do it? You make it sound as if Lu Jiuxuan was asking for death. Is this guy really that terrifying?" Many in the Shen Family looked at Chen Fan in astonishment, clearly finding it hard to believe his words.

That’s when Tian Ying stepped forward, looking at Chen Fan with suspicion, and asked, "You couldn’t be bluffing us, right? Although you’ve been away for a long time, nobody knows where you actually went. Maybe you just found a place to hide for a while and then ran back to bluff us!"

Chen Fan gave Tian Ying a speechless look, "What would be the point in doing that?"

Tian Ying said, "Of course it’s for our young mistress! You fool us into thinking that you killed Lu Jiuxuan, so the family head will fear you and give you our young mistress in marriage. Isn’t that your goal?"

Chen Fan curled his lips and said, "You have quite the imagination."

Many from the Shen Family tended to believe Tian Ying’s guess, after all, Lu Jiuxuan had been a dominant force in Gang City for so many years, how could he possibly die just like that? It was highly likely that Chen Fan was lying to deceive everyone.

"I think Tian Ying is right. This kid probably never went to Azure Dragon Mountain. Young people love to brag to save face, and he’s definitely trying to pull one over on us!"

"That’s right, I was even better at boasting when I was young. He must not have considered how preposterous the idea of killing Lu Jiuxuan would seem, so much so that none of us would believe it."

"Kid, stop pretending. There are no fools here; your little tricks won’t deceive anyone!"

...

Seeing the reaction from the Shen Family members, Chen Fan also felt somewhat helpless, thinking to himself that if he had known it would be like this, he should have brought Lu Jiuxuan’s body back to show them.

Just as Chen Fan was wondering how to make them believe that he had truly killed Lu Jiuxuan, a man ran into the conference hall in a frantic hurry, tripping over himself because he was running so fast.

"Big news, big news! I just received word that Lu Jiuxuan has been slain at Azure Dragon Mountain by a great master named Master Chen, and both the realm of magic and Martial Arts Circle are in an uproar!"
