CHAPTER 390: CHAPTER 378: TOASTS NOT TAKEN WILL TURN INTO PENALTIES (PLEASE SUBSCRIBE)

Anshan City, in a small room, Li Yan and the other two found a place to sit down and quietly waited.

They didn’t know how long had passed when the phone vibrated.

All three opened their eyes simultaneously, revealing a hint of joy.

"Brother Li, has the City Lord arrived?"

Wu Fei asked excitedly.

They had been waiting for over an hour already, considering the City Lord’s speed, he should have arrived long ago.

"Yes."

Li Yan took out his phone, noticing the incoming call, he couldn’t help but smile and quickly answered.

"We’ve arrived, where are you?"

Xiang Long’s voice came from the phone.

"Brother Xiang, we’re just in the nearby village."

"Alright, come out, we’re at the entrance."

"Yes."

Xiang Long hung up the phone, looking at the city ahead.

Behind him, stood more than a dozen people!

All of them were B-level Awakeners!

They looked at the city ahead, eyes filled with contempt and mockery.

The person who killed Brother Du is hiding in this city?

He really has the audacity, huh? Just wait, when we capture him, let’s see the disgraceful look on his face.

At the entrance of Anshan City, many people also noticed this group, not daring to look closely, as this group gave off a terrifying vibe.

Soon, Li Yan and the other two arrived.

A group of B-level Awakeners turned and focused on him, feeling slightly envious inside.

After all, finding the culprit was a significant achievement, once back in Jiulong City, the City Lord would undoubtedly reward Li Yan and his team greatly.

"Brother Xiang!"

Li Yan greeted with respect.

"City Lord!"

"City Lord!"

"Hmm."

Xiang Long glanced at the three, finally settling on Li Yan, "You’ve done well this time, but now is not the time for praise. Later, I’ll lead the team to the Martial Artist Association, you take the remaining people to the Awakened Association. Use any means necessary to find out the whereabouts of the target."

"Understood!" Li Yan nodded heavily.

"Let’s go."

Xiang Long led a group toward the city gates.

"Sir, please, can you show me your ID?"

A guard extended his arm, trembling.

Xiang Long glanced at him.

The next moment, the guard sat down, a foul smell emanating from his pants.

"Hehehe."

The group behind him erupted in cold laughter.

What a thing, asking for their ID?

Talking to such a lowly being, they felt it was beneath them.

Entering the city, the group split into two; Xiang Long led five or six people directly to the Martial Arts Association.

"Gentlemen, how may I help you?"

As soon as they stepped into the hall, a woman greeted them with a smile.

However, mid-sentence, she stopped, because anyone with eyes could see these people were unkind.

Inside the hall, it suddenly fell silent, everyone stopped what they were doing and looked over.

"Gentlemen..."

A middle-aged man hurried over, just about to speak, when he was interrupted by a man in white clothes behind him.

"Where’s your President?"

"The President?"

The middle-aged man hesitated, tentatively asking: "Gentlemen, is there some matter with our President?"

"Nonsense!"

The man in white sneered, "Of course, we have business with him, otherwise, do you think we’d waste our time here?"

"Song Fu, why waste words with him?" Another person mocked, "Quickly, call your President out."

"This..."

The middle-aged man hesitated.

"Gentlemen, without knowing your identities and intentions, it’s hard for me to inform him, correct?"

"Oh, so you want to suffer then." Song Fu’s eyes flashed with murderous intent.

Just a mere Martial Arts Association? Even a branch? Killing a few people meant nothing.

Not only here, he’d even dare to kill someone in Jiangnan Sub-district Martial Arts Association’s headquarters!

"Alright, alright, we’ll inform him right away."

Luckily, another middle-aged man appeared at this moment, took out his phone, and signaled to his companion.

This group seemed like trouble, and when they mentioned the President, there was no way the two could handle it.

Within seconds, the call was answered.

"President."

The man barely said a word before the phone was snatched away.

"Are you the President here?" Song Fu asked.

"Who are you?"

On the other end, Sun Wei’s face became extremely grave.

"You don’t need to know who I am. All you need to know is that we’re waiting for you in the hall. You have one minute to show up; otherwise, believe me, you won’t like the consequences of being late."

As he finished, not giving Sun Wei a chance to inquire, he crushed the phone, glanced around the room, and said:

"From now on, no one is allowed to leave here. Otherwise, you’ll end up like this phone."

Instantly, everyone turned pale with fear.

What’s going on?

Outside the city, Sun Wei listened to the busy signal on the phone, his face turned extremely ugly.

Because he was helping Chen Fan guard the sliced Wild Bull meat, he wasn’t in the association. Not only him but Xu Jie and others were also there.

Seeing this, they all gathered around.

"President, what’s going on?"

"Who called? Brother Chen, or headquarters?"

"Is it something bad?"

"I don’t know."

Sun Wei shook his head, he was also puzzled.

Thinking back, he hadn’t offended anyone recently, right?

But the tone of the caller implied a threat.

This made him extremely uneasy.

"I need to return to the association now. If I’m not back in half an hour, no, one hour, then you should call Brother Chen and headquarters."

"What?"

Xu Jie and the others looked at each other.

"President, what happened? Is it that serious?"

"Is it someone causing trouble?"

"Who has the guts to come to our association and cause trouble?"

"President, we’ll go with you!"

They immediately felt indignant.

Even when the former City Lord of Anshan City was around and relations were tense, no one dared to cause trouble in the association publicly.

"Calm down, I’m preparing for the worst case." Sun Wei waved his hand, "If after one hour I haven’t returned or contacted you, notify headquarters and tell them there’s trouble here. Also inform Brother Chen to stay away until headquarters arrives. Alright, no more talking, otherwise, there won’t be enough time."

He then headed to the city gates.

"President!"

"President! I’m going with you! Tu Yue, you stay and remember the President’s instructions."

Gao Shan and Xu Jie quickly followed, their voices trailing with the wind.

The remaining Tu Yue and others looked at each other, growing increasingly uneasy.

Hopefully, nothing bad will happen.

Inside the association hall.

A man glanced at the clock on the wall, smirking, "One minute is almost up. Song Fu, it seems he didn’t take your words seriously."

Song Fu sneered, "No worries, if he’s late by a minute, I’ll kill one person. Two minutes, I’ll kill two. Ten minutes, I’ll slaughter everyone here!"

"!"

Upon hearing this, everyone turned pale with fear.

No wonder he didn’t allow anyone to leave; it turned out they were being used as hostages, possibly to be killed?

What kind of monsters were these people?

"But this is the Martial Arts Association, isn’t this a bit much?"

At this moment, a hesitant voice rang out, "I heard the President of the Jiangnan Sub-district Martial Arts Association, Shi Tao, is a Martial Arts True Essence Realm master who practices the Supreme Martial Skill Five-Thunder Transformation Hand, and has reached Perfection Realm, no weaker than top-tier B-level Awakeners. If he finds out, we’ve slaughtered his members publicly..."

"So what?"

Xiang Long snorted.

Shi Tao strong? He’s weaker?

In terms of numbers, the entire Jiangnan Sub-district Martial Arts Association’s True Essence Realm martial artists are few and far between, nothing compared to Jiulong City!

So, who cares!

If it turns out the murderer isn’t Li Ping, but the masked man from the Martial Arts Association.

Not only will he tear him apart, but he’ll also settle scores with Shi Tao!

"Exactly."

The group behind him immediately agreed.

"We have enough power to crush the Jiangnan Sub-district Martial Arts Association."

"Moreover, we have warned them. If he doesn’t listen, it’s his fault."

"Someone’s coming."

As the words fell, three figures flew into the hall.

"President?"

"President!"

Seeing the newcomers, everyone inside showed excitement, like drowning people grabbing at straws.

Xiang Long and his group’s eyes focused.

Sun Wei immediately felt immense pressure from all directions, making it hard to breathe.

Following him, Gao Shan and the other two, were swept by their gaze, barely able to breathe.

"Who are you?" Sun Wei struggled to squeeze out the words, "What do you want with me?"

Song Fu and others looked at Xiang Long.

Xiang Long asked, "Where is your master’s expert now?"

Sun Wei trembled, his pupils shrank.

This group was after Brother Chen?

He felt fortunate.

Thankfully, Brother Chen wasn’t in the Alchemy Room at this moment.

This group felt extremely dangerous, each one incomparable even to Xiao Hong who came earlier.

If Brother Chen was here and they found him...
