Chapter 91: Chapter 90 Calculation

Han Zong and Situ Chan arrived in Li Fan’s courtyard, and then Li Fan introduced them to Cui Zhanfeng.

Cui Zhanfeng cupped his hands towards them and said, "Before coming here today, Miss Hongyi specifically instructed that both of you have a life-saving grace towards her. She originally wanted to personally come to express her gratitude, but due to reuniting with her family after a long time, she could not come herself."

Even if Li Fan hadn’t spoken, the Cui Family would still need to express their gratitude to Han Zong and Situ Chan.

Han Zong and Situ Chan understood the situation. It seemed that Li Hongyi had successfully entered the Cui Family and was indeed a daughter of the family. As for what exactly had happened, they weren’t sure. Could there have been a misunderstanding before?

"We didn’t really do much, Miss Li is too polite." Han Zong said, they had only informed Li Fan, and the rest was done by Li Fan.

"Brother Han, you don’t need to be modest." Li Fan said, implying that without Han Zong’s help, he wouldn’t have found Li Hongyi so quickly. Given the Wuyi Sect situation, Li Hongyi was indeed in danger.

In a certain sense, Han Zong and the others were considered benefactors to Li Hongyi.

"Brother Han, Sister Chan, I have an idea. The Cui Family also needs people. Why don’t the two of you work there instead of risking going beyond the city? What do you think?" Li Fan suggested.

This way, the incident wouldn’t affect the two of them.

Situ Chan’s eyes brightened with some interest. She did want to settle down, and with the relationship with Li Hongyi, the Cui Family definitely wouldn’t treat them poorly.

An ancient family like the Cui’s, with a little favor, is naturally much better than venturing to hunt demons.

Moreover, this was the kind of stability she always sought.

Han Zong, on the other hand, hesitated. Would this be exploiting kindness for a reward? Moreover, he felt he hadn’t done much and was uneasy about it. To find Li Hongyi, Li Fan had given them several Demon Cores.

Seeing the emotions in their eyes, Li Fan added, "Brother Han, even if you don’t consider it for yourself, think about Sister Chan. She needs to break through to the Soul Emergence Realm, and going to the Cui Family is undoubtedly more suitable. Now that you’re short of a person, the risks of hunting demons are also greater."

"That’s correct. Our Cui Family is not short of cultivation resources and can definitely help Miss Situ reach the Soul Emergence Realm. If, in the future, you both want to leave, our Cui Family will not hold you back." Cui Zhanfeng, being an experienced individual, understood that Li Fan’s words were also for him to hear and immediately chimed in.

Han Zong looked at Situ Chan and saw the hope in her eyes. Ultimately, he nodded and cupped his hands towards Cui Zhanfeng, saying, "In that case, we will trouble the senior."

"I will have someone accompany you to the Cui Family." Cui Zhanfeng stated.

Han Zong then turned to Li Fan, bowed, and said, "Brother Xiao Fan, thank you."

"Brother Han, there’s no need to be so polite. You’ve helped me a lot this time." Li Fan remarked.

"Although I’m humble, if Brother Xiao Fan ever needs anything in the future, simply send a message and I will go through fire and water." Han Zong earnestly declared.

"Alright, it’s a deal." Li Fan replied with a smile. With Han Zong agreeing, they finally found a place to belong.

Once they reached the Cui Family, Li Hongyi would naturally take good care of them.

Li Fan escorted Han Zong and Situ Chan out of the inn.

It was already night, yet Chuzhou City was still brightly lit, the streets bustling as if it were daytime.

"Brother Xiao Fan, take care." Han Zong cupped his hands towards Li Fan, reflecting on today’s assassination attempt that left him worrying about Li Fan. But with the Cui Family’s people here now, everything should be fine.

"Brother Han, take care as well." Li Fan responded in kind.

Just then, a group of people approached with an imposing aura. The young man in the lead was dressed in luxurious attire, exuding the demeanor of a noble family young master.

"Young Master Song, it’s them." A man from the martial arts world beside the young man pointed at Li Fan and the others, making them pause for a moment.

The young man referred to as Young Master Song immediately noticed Li Fan, whose appearance and aura stood out in the crowd.

"Young Master Song?" Li Fan looked at him, recalling the Wuyi Sect from before.

It was said that they served Young Master Song.

Song Changming was a young master of the Song Family. Previously, he had taken quite an interest in Li Hongyi.

Although a legitimate son of the Song Family, his cultivation was mediocre. He indulged in women and luxury, knowing he couldn’t inherit the core resources of the family, he chose to enjoy life to the fullest.

Upon learning that Li Hongyi was an abandoned daughter of the Cui Family, his interest piqued, leading him to order the Wuyi Sect to handle the matter. Little did he know, the Wuyi Sect members were all slain.

Within his Song Family’s territory, someone dared to kill his dogs, sparking his curiosity about the perpetrator, which brought him here.

Seeing the group opposite, Song Changming sneered, understanding why they were so audacious; significant forces must back them. Cui Zhanfeng rarely appeared in public and was an elder Song Changming didn’t recognize.

"Did you kill the Wuyi Sect members?" Song Changming asked Li Fan.

"Yes." Li Fan nodded.

Such a straightforward admission surprised Song Changming momentarily. He continued, "Do you know that the Wuyi Sect belongs to my Song Family?"

"I know." Li Fan responded calmly.

Song Changming’s expression turned sinister as he scanned the crowd and asked, "Where is the Cui Family’s abandoned daughter?"

Cui Zhanfeng frowned, realizing the other party referred to Li Hongyi.

It seemed that Li Hongyi being hunted was orchestrated by the Song Family.

Cui Zhanfeng stepped forward, causing Song Changming to frown. The people behind him also moved forward, releasing the aura of Peak of Foundation Establishment Realm.

But in an instant, a towering aura from Cui Zhanfeng pressured them, changing the expressions of Song Changming’s companions.

"Foundation Establishment," one person remarked, "Who are you?"

Song Changming realized something was amiss, Foundation Establishment Realm?

He then looked at Li Fan, reconsidering. Could this person be of noble descent? No wonder he dared to kill his men.

Several around them observed, whispering about a possible confrontation between the Song and Cui Families.

Suddenly, the sound of horse hooves echoed from afar. People turned to see a group coming aggressively from that direction.

The group, unexpectedly, arrived at the inn, and upon seeing Li Fan, dismounted without hesitation.

The newcomer was none other than Wanxiang Sect’s Xiao Yuntian.

"Xiao Yuntian." Song Changming recognized him, his expression turning odd.

What was happening?

Why did Wanxiang Sect come here?

Xiao Yuntian ignored Song Changming, his gaze fixed on Li Fan, as did Cui Zhanfeng and Li Fan towards him.

Unintentionally, Cui Zhanfeng positioned himself in front of Li Fan to prevent any sudden attacks.

Xiao Yuntian strode forward, stopping when Cui Zhanfeng blocked his path. Across the distance, he cupped his hands towards Li Fan, saying, "I, Xiao, failed to recognize Mount Tai and unintentionally offended Li Shaohua; I’ve come to apologize specifically."

"Apologize?" Li Fan hadn’t expected him to come for such a reason.

Was it really to apologize?

Song Changming: "???"

Xiao Yuntian, here to apologize to Li Fan?

While the Wanxiang Sect couldn’t rival the Song Family, it was still a top sect in Chuzhou. The Wanxiang Sect Master personally coming to apologize to Li Fan?

Moreover, he admitted to failing to recognize Mount Tai?

"Who are you?" Song Changming stared at Li Fan, his confidence shaken.

Although Song Changming was a dandy, he acted cautiously, avoiding antagonizing those he couldn’t afford to offend.

As a young master of the Song Family, wanting a discarded daughter from the Cui Family seemed trivial to him.

But now...

Li Fan didn’t even look at him, instead asking Xiao Yuntian, "Where is Yin Qing?"

Han Zong and Situ Chan also eyed Xiao Yuntian, knowing that the ambush on Li Fan must have resulted from Yin Qing’s betrayal.

"Yin Qing?" Xiao Yuntian looked puzzled, and his expression clarified things for Li Fan.

It appeared that the person who informed Xiao Yuntian wasn’t from the Wanxiang Sect. The Wanxiang Sect had been used as a pawn.

Then, was it the vice commander of the Demon Slayer Bureau or the Chen family?

"Who gave you the information?" Li Fan asked.

Thoughtfully, Xiao Yuntian asked, "Could we discuss this privately, Shaohua?"

"Sure." Li Fan replied, turning to Song Changming, "Kill them first."

Song Changming: "?"

Xiao Yuntian’s gaze fell upon Song Changming, a ruthless glint in his eyes.

"I’m from the Song Family." Song Changming remarked upon seeing Xiao Yuntian’s stare.

Xiao Yuntian strode forward, emanating lethal intent.

"Xiao Yuntian, have you gone mad?" Song Changming shouted, with Song Family members blocking Xiao Yuntian. "Sect Master Xiao, we belong to the Song Family, and this is Young Master Song Changming. What are you doing?"

Xiao Yuntian ignored them, releasing a powerful aura that pressured the Song Family, and fear finally showed in Song Changming’s eyes.

Xiao Yuntian intended to kill him!

Who was Li Fan, able to command Xiao Yuntian to kill him with just a word?

"Bang..." Xiao Yuntian’s palm struck, instantly killing the person blocking his path, shocking the rest with the sudden proximity of death.

The sound of explosions followed as Xiao Yuntian dispatched them one by one, with Song Changming fleeing.

Xiao Yuntian unleashed a thunderous palm from afar, its force propelling Song Changming’s body, killing him instantly.

In his final moments, Song Changming still wondered who Li Fan was.

Onlookers witnessing the scene were deeply shocked.

Wanxiang Sect Master Xiao Yuntian killed Song Family members?

Was he mad?

They focused on Li Fan, questioning the identity of the young man.

Could he have a background even bigger than the Song Family, making Xiao Yuntian dare?

After killing Song Changming, Xiao Yuntian looked towards Li Fan, asking, "Could we talk in private now?"

"I need you to kill two more people for me," Li Fan stated.

"Who?" Xiao Yuntian asked, ready to heed.

"The Vice Commander Sun of the Demon Slayer Bureau and the Chen family’s Chen Yan," Li Fan instructed Xiao Yuntian.

Hearing the names, Xiao Yuntian’s expression shifted, under Li Fan’s steady gaze.

It seemed either the vice commander or the Chen family was behind Yuntian’s call.

Based on the info Yin Qing had, Li Fan leaned towards the vice commander of the Demon Slayer Bureau, the mastermind behind the demon incident outside the city.

"Is Shaohua toying with me?" Xiao Yuntian asked.

"If Sect Master Xiao can accomplish it, our grievances will be settled, how about it?" Li Fan offered.

Xiao Yuntian publicly killing Song Changming blocked escape routes for both himself and the Wanxiang Sect.

Li Fan understood that Xiao Yuntian’s retreat options had been sealed and that he must have prepared for escape.

This visit had only one purpose.

To kill him!
