Just as Wind Blade was cleaved by Feng Shao, A-Kong suddenly lashed out, using a dagger to shatter the Wind Blade.

"A-Kong, are you seeking death?" the burly stalwart beside Feng Shao coldly scolded.

"A-Tu, forget it, it has nothing to do with him, he's been controlled by someone," Feng Shao said coldly.

"What, A-Kong being controlled by someone else?" A-Tu couldn't help but be taken aback.

At that moment, a murderous intent erupted from A-Kong's eyes, and several blood-colored Gu insects appeared in his hand and suddenly shot out, directly pouncing on Feng Shao.

"Blood Gu!"

Feng Shao frowned slightly, a trace of ruthlessness flashing in his eyes.

A whirlwind appeared in the palm of his hand and those Gu insects instantly turned into blood.

The very next instant, Feng Shao appeared in front of A-Kong, his palm gently sweeping across A-Kong's neck.

"Splurch!"

Blood splattered, and A-Kong's throat was cut, causing him to fall to the ground.

"Feng Shao, A-Kong, he…" A-Tu, looking at A-Kong lying in the pool of blood, had a slight change in expression.

"He was controlled by Lin Chen, if we didn't kill him, he would have killed us. Pass a message to A-Kong's brother, just say that his brother died at the hands of Lin Chen," Feng Shao said coldly.

"Feng Shao, I will take action personally this time, I want to avenge A-Kong," A-Tu said coldly, looking at the body on the ground.

Feng Shao gave a faint smile, "No need, we just need to watch."

At that time, Lin Chen, with the help of invisibility, had already slipped out of the building.

A red Beetle was parked by the roadside, Zhao Xiaohua waved to Lin Chen.

"Failed, huh!" Zhao Xiaohua said with a chuckle as soon as Lin Chen got into the car.

"Does this guy have a dog's nose or what? He discovered me as soon as I went in," Lin Chen said, still frightened by the experience.

"Chen Feng is one of the outstanding young generation in the superpower world, it's normal for you to be discovered," Zhao Xiaohua said with a smile.

Suddenly curious, Lin Chen asked, "Xiaohua, you clearly knew that guy was from the Superpower Alliance, why didn't you catch them?"

Zhao Xiaohua smiled helplessly, "You think it's that simple? Chen Feng has the Chen family behind him, and the Chen family is one of the eight major forces. Although many people have implicated their family with the Superpower Alliance, it always ends up inconclusive due to lack of evidence."

"I see! Well, if it wasn't for your constant reminders, I really wanted to take him on; I don't care how tough he used to be, if he provoked me, I would definitely make him regret it," Lin Chen remarked coldly.

…

On a bustling island in Southeast Asia, where the smells of blood and alcohol were pervasive, this place was a paradise for criminals and a gathering point for pirates and murderers—it was known as Evil Spirit Island.

In the noisy bar, a middle-aged man swirled a glass of strong brandy in his hand.

"A-Kong, you fool, I told you to follow your brother, but you wouldn't listen. Look at you now, dead at the hands of a college student, disgracing our Miao family," he lamented.

"When I was a kid, I killed someone and you took the fall for me, serving ten years in prison on my behalf. Now that you're gone, I will avenge your death," the middle-aged man said fiercely, downing the brandy in his hand, his eyes filled with murderous intent.

"Big brother! What's so urgent that you called me over?" At that moment, a scholarly-looking middle-aged man with glasses walked in.

"I just took on a job, I need to go back to Hua Xia," the middle-aged man said indifferently.

"Didn't you say that those guys in Hua Xia are not easy to mess with, and that if it's not for a special reason, we won't deal within Hua Xia?" asked the man with glasses, curious.

Clenching his teeth, the middle-aged spoke, "My brother was killed, and I must take my revenge. So even if it's a dragon's lair or a tiger's den in Hua Xia, I have to go there."

The bespectacled man's face tightened slightly, "To lay hands on the elder brother's brethren is simply courting death, elder brother, I'll go with you."

The middle-aged man shook his head, "Evil Spirit Island is our lair, someone must stay to guard it, otherwise, those bastards would turn the sky upside down. You are reliable, I feel most at ease with you holding down the fort at home."

"But what about Capital City?" The bespectacled man was still somewhat uneasy.

"Don't worry, I'll bring Fox and Leopard, along with a few brothers, over there. There won't be any problems," the middle-aged man said with a smile.

The bespectacled man knew the elder brother's temperament; once he had made up his mind, not even eight bulls could pull him back, "Big brother, are the prospects over there tough?"

The middle-aged man nodded, "My brother was skilled in the art of Gu yet he still died at their hands. The opponent's strength must not be weak, they must be people from the Heavenly Dragon."

"The people from Heavenly Dragon aren't so impressive, didn't we take down four of the Heavenly Dragon's people just recently?" the bespectacled man said with disdain.

"Hmm, do you remember the job the Zhou family from Capital City entrusted us with a while back? It was to kill Su Wentian, and we refused it last time. I didn't expect they would find my brother, it seems it's a fate we can't escape no matter what. Since that's the case, this time I'll face those guys from the Heavenly Dragon," the middle-aged man sighed.

"Tell the Zhou family, we'll take the job; by killing Lin Chen, we can also complete this deal and earn a bit of extra cash for the brothers," the middle-aged man said as he stood up and spoke with a heavy voice.

At this moment, Lin Chen was cultivating with his eyes closed in the room next to Su Wentian's.

As his consciousness sank into the Qi Sea, Lin Chen's gaze was fixed on a fiery red egg floating within the sea of fire elemental energy.

Ever since Lin Chen had obtained the Heart of Flames, the elemental spirit had transformed into this egg.

This egg was constantly drawing energy, but Lin Chen had a feeling that whatever would hatch from this egg would be anything but ordinary.

Just then, a knock on the door came from outside.

Lin Chen opened the door and saw Su Wentian standing at the entrance.

"Is there something you need, Elder Su?" Lin Chen asked with a smile.

Su Wentian gave a small smile, "Indeed, there's something I need your help with, Mr. Lin. I would like you to help me find someone."

"Find someone?" Lin Chen was taken aback.

Su Wentian took out a photo and handed it to Lin Chen, "This girl is my eldest daughter, but she was taken away by a man in black when she was only three years old. She is the first fruit of love between me and Feng Yun, and that has been our greatest ailment. If possible, I hope you can keep an eye out and find her for me."

Lin Chen took the photo and saw it was of a very cute young girl, but this was only a three-year-old's photo. To find a twenty-three-year-old woman with a photo of her at the age of three was like looking for a needle in a haystack.

Suddenly, Lin Chen's eyes lit up because he noticed that the girl bore a heart-shaped birthmark, something he seemed to have seen somewhere before.

And thinking about it, the girl indeed bore some resemblance to Su Wentian.

"Could it be her?" A shadow surfaced in Lin Chen's mind.

"Mr. Lin Chen, I know it's difficult, but I hope you can help me. This is Feng Yun's greatest wish, and I want to fulfill it for her," Su Wentian said solemnly.

Lin Chen nodded, "Alright, I'll try to help you look for her, but I can't guarantee that I will find her."

"Thank you, Mr. Lin. If you find her, I will be sure to thank you properly," Su Wentian said, a glimmer of joy appearing in his eyes.

After seeing off Su Wentian, Lin Chen handed over the task of protection to Zhao Xiaohua, and then he himself left the Capital City Hotel in a Phantom sports car.

The car stopped in the parking lot of the Capital City hospital, Lin Chen dialed the phone and cheerfully said, "Hello, is this Dr. Su?"

The girl on the phone was startled to hear Lin Chen's voice, then spoke with slight excitement, "Is this Lin Chen? Great, I was just thinking of looking for you. Where are you?"

"Looking for me, could it be..." Lin Chen's mind recalled that ambiguous scene.
