CHAPTER 437: CHAPTER 425: DIVINE DEMON-LEVEL MARTIAL ARTS, LONGEVITY TECHNIQUE! (PLEASE SUBSCRIBE)

After Hua Jun left.

Chen Fan sat in the chair and glanced at the list.

"Two Meridian Refining Realm Martial Artists? Hopefully, no one is being dishonest and deliberately hiding their strength."

He muttered to himself.

He was willing to open the city gates so that people from various places could live in Anshan City without paying anything.

Correspondingly, those who moved in must also abide by his rules.

If they couldn’t even be honest, it would be too disappointing.

Moreover, one must not have ill intentions towards others, but should always be cautious.

The cultists who sneaked in last night were the best example.

The next moment, he activated Celestial Response.

An invisible giant net enveloped the entire Anshan City.

Almost instantly, his face changed slightly.

At this moment in Anshan City, there were two unfamiliar auras that suppressed all other auras.

"True Essence Realm Martial Artists? Or B-level Awakened?"

Chen Fan’s mouth revealed a sneer.

Even if it was True Essence Realm Martial Artists or B-level Awakened, so what?

In his territory, they had to follow his rules.

"Let’s find the less populated one first, then the more populated ones."

Chen Fan stood up, directly leaped out of the window, and disappeared into the night.

A few kilometers away, in a room, Wang Lingling had just bathed and changed clothes, drying her wet long hair with a towel.

"Initially, I just wanted to find a place to hide from those pursuers. Unexpectedly, the conditions here in Anshan City are quite good."

A smile appeared on her face.

After wiping off the dust, her melon seed-shaped face and enchanting eyes were revealed.

After drying her hair, she went to the bedroom, perked up her ears, listened for a while, and, after confirming there was no noise, cautiously took out a yellowed parchment from her space item.

On the parchment was a portrait of a human body and a large section of ancient text.

She frowned deeply, looked at it for a long time, and became even more distressed.

The parchment in front of her recorded a Chapter of the Longevity Technique.

The Longevity Technique was a Divine Demon-level Martial Art! It was said that after successful cultivation, one could live for a thousand years without aging, far surpassing even the Supreme Martial Art, Sacred Heart Technique!

For a beauty-loving woman like her, the allure of this cultivation technique was self-evident.

In fact, she had put in a lot of effort, even resorting to the beauty trap, to steal it from the hands of the Qin Family.

As a result, she had been chased by various experts sent by the Qin Family these days.

These days, she had been studying it continuously, but without any clue and dared not cultivate it randomly, fearing deviation.

"Knock, knock, knock."

Suddenly, there was a knock on the door.

Wang Lingling was startled and, at lightning speed, stored the parchment into the space item.

At the same time, a sapphire blue dagger appeared in her hand.

"Knock, knock."

The knocking sounded again.

It was clear that the person was knocking on her door due to the close proximity.

Wang Lingling’s face changed, thinking to herself if the Qin Family had found her so quickly? There was no reason for it!

"Knock, knock."

The knocking sounded again, accompanied by a man’s voice.

"If I wanted to come in, this door wouldn’t stop me."

Hearing this, Wang Lingling breathed a sigh of relief but didn’t open the door, instead asking, "Who are you?"

"My surname is Li. You should have heard of me when you entered the city."

Chen Fan’s tone was indifferent.

"Li? Are you Chairman Li? The Chairman of Anshan City Awakened Association?"

"It’s me."

After the words fell.

Wang Lingling’s eyes widened.

Of course, she had heard this name, or rather, she came here precisely because she had heard that one could easily enter Anshan City.

However, she merely knew the name.

So why did Li Ping come looking for her? Had he already learned that she had a part of the Longevity Technique in her possession?

"No, Anshan City is so far from Cyan Mist City. Even with the Qin Family’s influence, their hand couldn’t reach this far. I can’t scare myself."

Wang Lingling thought to herself.

She put away the dagger, walked to the door, and opened it.

Outside the door stood an ordinary-looking man with a solemn expression.

"Li, Chairman Li."

Wang Lingling appeared weak and looked at Chen Fan, then the ground, saying, "It’s so late, is there something you need from me? I was already resting, actually."

"I have a few questions for you, don’t worry, I won’t take much of your time."

Chen Fan looked at her calmly.

The first impression he got from this woman was deep scheming.

"Alright, Chairman Li, feel free to ask. As long as I know, I will surely tell you." Wang Lingling hurriedly responded.

"Fan Jing, is that your name?"

"Yes, Chairman Li."

Wang Lingling nodded without hesitation, not blinking an eye.

"Then you are a Martial Artist?"

"Yes."

"Meridian Refining Realm?"

"Yes, a Meridian Refining Realm Martial Artist."

Chen Fan’s gaze tightened.

Wang Lingling shivered instantly, a chill rising up her back.

What was going on?

Could it be that this person already knew her true identity? Knew her true strength?

"I’ll give you another chance, think before answering."

Chen Fan said, "Before entering the city, you should have been notified that to enter and reside in the city, one must not conceal their true strength. If you disagree with this, you shouldn’t enter Anshan City. You know that, right?"

"Yes, I know."

Wang Lingling nodded repeatedly.

"Then tell me now, what is your true strength?"

"Meridian Refining Realm."

Wang Lingling blinked, looking innocent.

"Okay, that’s your answer?"

Chen Fan nodded.

"Chairman Li, do you think I’m hiding my strength? I really am a Meridian Refining Realm Martial Artist."

"Pack your things and leave Anshan City within a minute."

Chen Fan extended a finger, "If you don’t leave in a minute, I’ll personally make you leave."

"Chairman Li, what are you doing?"

Wang Lingling was stunned, then looked innocent, "I really didn’t deceive you, I really am a Meridian Refining Realm Martial Artist."

Seeing that Chen Fan remained unmoved, her eyes turned red, and tears welled up, "Chairman Li, please don’t drive me away. My parents were killed by fierce beasts, leaving me alone and homeless. I finally found a place to stay. If you drive me away now, I don’t know where else I can go."

"Crying counts as part of the time."

Chen Fan said coldly, "Remind you, thirty seconds left."

Wang Lingling’s face stiffened. She bit her lip and cried louder, "Chairman Li, it’s so late, aren’t you afraid I’ll run into danger if I go out? There are so many fierce beasts outside."

"Squeak!"

The door to the side opened, and someone came out.

"Please, don’t drive me away?"

Wang Lingling cried even harder.

The surrounding people started to gather, and each one looked at her with sympathy.

"What’s going on? Driving someone out in the middle of the night?"

"No way, it’s so late, there are fierce beasts outside, going out now is suicide."

"Yeah, yeah. If they really want to drive her away, they could wait until morning."

Everyone whispered, looking at Chen Fan with some fear.

After all, the only ones bold enough to drive someone away at night could only be the people from the Anshan City Awakened Association, and they couldn’t afford to offend them.

"Please, don’t drive me away." Wang Lingling pleaded again, looking around with pitiful eyes.

Everyone’s hearts were breaking.

If they hadn’t had some rationality left, they would have stepped forward.

At this moment, a few burly men were hiding among the crowd.

"What’s going on? Hey, isn’t it that girl from the daytime?" one surprised.

"It’s her. She is indeed beautiful with her face cleaned up."

"Brother, it seems like the girl is in trouble? Should we help her?"

"No hurry, let’s see what’s going on."

The leading man said, carefully observing Chen Fan.

But to his surprise, Chen Fan also instantly looked at him.

The man’s heart pounded, and an ominous premonition arose in him.

"I was just going to find you guys, but you came out yourselves. That’s good."

Chen Fan said, extending a finger, pointing at the man, "One, two, three, four, five. You five, come over here too."

In an instant, everyone, including Wang Lingling, looked at the five men.

The originally crowded corridor suddenly became spacious.

The five men’s faces turned pale instantly, and they instinctively clenched their fists.

Chen Fan narrowed his eyes.

Even a blind person could see that these five had something to hide.

The leading man quickly calmed down. He looked at Chen Fan, forced out a smile, and said, "Friend, I don’t think we know each other? Since you have business now, we won’t bother you."

He turned to leave, feeling a bit regretful, thinking he should not have come out to join the excitement.

"Stop."

Chen Fan’s voice turned cold, "When did I say you could leave?"

The five men’s faces changed dramatically.

"Friend, don’t you think you are going too far?"

The leading man turned around and said, "We just moved in this afternoon and didn’t stir up any trouble. We only came out to check because we heard noise. Even if you are from the Awakened Association, you don’t have the right to stop us from leaving, do you?"

On the side, Wang Lingling’s eyes revealed a look of schadenfreude.

Ordinary people indeed had no right, but the man in front of her was different.

But then her smile faded because her situation wasn’t any better.

"I welcome those who abide by my rules to stay, but it’s different for those who don’t wish to follow them." Chen Fan said coldly.

"Abide by your rules?"

The man was puzzled, then suddenly couldn’t breathe.

He looked at Wang Lingling.

Recalling the previous scene, a bold guess emerged in his mind.

Could it be that the man before him was Chairman Li of the Awakened Association?
