CHAPTER 439: CHAPTER 427: THE LI SURNAME MIGHT INDEED BE HARD TO DEAL WITH (SUBSCRIBE PLEASE)

No matter what others might think, Chen Fan previously believed he had done nothing wrong.

Regardless of whether these people were good or bad, whether they came to cause trouble or simply wanted to live quietly,

if they did not follow his rules, they were not qualified to live in Anshan City.

There might be cases of killing the wrong people, but this way, most risks could be mitigated. It was responsible for his family living in the city and for the vast majority of people in the city.

Tang Yong and the others looked at each other.

Someone used their eyes to ask, what should we do?

Should we really leave with our tails between our legs? Or should we take a desperate gamble and fight it out?

After all, isn’t it just a small city? At most, there are only a few C-level Awakened.

Even if this person in front of us is the Chairman, so what?

If all of us attack together, take him down first, and then hide somewhere in the city, we could find an opportunity to take down the remaining few C-level Awakened one by one, right?

Of course, there’s also the possibility that this guy doesn’t know the Soul Shifting Technique at all.

This might just be a ploy to disrupt their formation.

"One minute."

Chen Fan extended his hand, "I’ll give you one minute to decide whether you are willing to cooperate with me, leave on your own, or if you think you have the strength to team up and defeat me, you can go ahead and try. The clock starts now."

Upon hearing this, everyone around them was shocked.

Is this for real? Are these people really that bold?

Are they planning to make a move against Chairman Li in front of so many people?

"Chairman Li, you’re overthinking this."

Wang Lingling raised both hands in a gesture of surrender, "I had no intention of fighting you."

She came here simply to avoid being hunted down.

Although she was a True Essence Realm Martial Artist, she specialized in body technique rather than combat.

"Chairman Li, you misunderstood us. We also have no intention of fighting you."

Tang Yong quickly distanced himself from suspicion as well.

He did have that thought earlier, but since the other party saw through it immediately, he had to give up and sighed:

"Chairman Li, is there really no other way besides using the Soul Shifting Technique? Couldn’t you just let us leave tomorrow morning?"

"You have thirty seconds left,"

Chen Fan replied.

Tang Yong took a deep breath, glanced at Chen Fan, as if wanting to etch his appearance into his mind forever.

"Fine, since Chairman Li says so, it would be shameless for us to stay here any longer. Let’s go."

"Big Brother?"

The others’ faces turned ugly upon hearing this.

"Let’s go."

Tang Yong gave them a look and started walking towards the distance.

The others turned around, glanced at Chen Fan, and then followed silently.

Anyone could see that their resentment towards Chen Fan was profound.

Chen Fan acted as if he didn’t see it and turned his gaze to Wang Lingling.

"Fine, I’ll leave, alright?"

Wang Lingling said helplessly.

As she spoke, she also followed behind Tang Yong and the others.

"I hope you keep your words. Otherwise, if I find you still within the boundaries of Anshan City later, it won’t be as simple as expelling you."

The figures of the group shuddered and then continued to walk towards the city gates, quickly disappearing from everyone’s sight.

There was a dead silence.

Everyone lowered their heads, not daring to speak or move.

"This matter has nothing to do with you all. It’s getting late, go back and rest early."

With that, Chen Fan’s figure also disappeared into the night.

The people left behind exchanged glances in silence.

"Big Brother, do we really have to leave?"

On the way, someone looked at Tang Yong, unwilling to accept this outcome.

"Yes, Big Brother, that Chairman Li is too overbearing. Just driving us out like that?"

"Yeah, Big Brother..."

"What else can we do? Didn’t you hear what he said earlier? If he finds out we’re still here, it won’t end with just driving us out," Tang Yong sneered.

"That guy is too arrogant. Does he really think he can do anything to us?"

"Exactly, he’s just the chairman of a small Anshan City Awakened Association. What’s there to be proud of?"

"Enough, say no more."

Tang Yong glanced around. His intuition told him that Li Ping might be following them, listening to their conversation.

The guards at the city gates did not show any surprise when they saw the group. Instead, their eyes held a strong sense of loathing.

They opened a small gate and urged them to leave.

Tang Yong and his group were furious.

They could tolerate the chairman of the Awakened Association treating them poorly.

But now even a guard dog dared to boss them around?

Wang Lingling chuckled and was the first to walk out of the small gate.

Tang Yong gave the others a look and also walked out.

The small gate closed behind them.

"Damn it, they dare to give me attitude. I’ll kill them sooner or later," someone cursed.

"Alright, we’ll talk once we get out of here."

Tang Yong looked at him, then spoke to Wang Lingling, who was walking ahead:

"Hey beautiful, we are in the same boat now. There are so many fierce beasts outside, want to stick together?"

The others perked up upon hearing this.

Yes, even though they had been kicked out, this beauty was also kicked out.

This was an opportunity.

"Together?"

Wang Lingling turned around and smiled, "If you can keep up with me, then sure."

With that, her figure disappeared in a flash.

"Interesting."

Tang Yong’s eyes glinted with greed as he quickly followed.

The others were unwilling to be left behind and chased after them.

But their speed was much slower than Tang Yong’s.

Soon, they lost track of the two.

The roars of beasts grew closer.

"Damn it, we were so focused on chasing the woman, we forgot it’s night now," someone halted and said in a panic.

"Yeah, how could that woman be so fast? She must be in the True Essence Realm."

"Definitely, she is a cunning woman. I wonder if Big Brother caught up to her."

"No."

Just then, a figure returned.

"Big Brother!"

The group’s eyes lit up.

They were troubled; just a few of them would easily get into danger.

"Big Brother, did you lose her too?" Someone looked surprised.

"That woman is not simple. I underestimated her."

Tang Yong clicked his tongue.

At first, he thought he could keep up.

Then she sped up suddenly, and he lost her trail.

He had to turn back and regroup with the others.

"She is indeed remarkable; even you couldn’t catch her."

"Who could she be? What did she come to Anshan City for?"

"What a pity. We lost her this time. It might be hard to catch her next time."

"Yes."

They sighed.

"Enough. This is not the time to talk. Let’s find a place to settle for a while, and we’ll figure it out tomorrow,"

Tang Yong interrupted them.

"Big Brother, I saw an abandoned village on my way here. It’s only about a dozen miles from here. Let’s go there first."

"Alright, let’s go."

The group moved swiftly.

Tang Yong wielded a knife, leading the way, easily cutting down any beasts that obstructed them.

The others also kept swinging their weapons.

Soon, they reached a village.

The walls were only three or four meters high. They leapt over them with ease.

The beasts that followed them crashed through the earthen walls, charging into the village.

After searching for a while following the scent, they couldn’t find the group. They wandered for a bit and then left.

Hearing the footsteps recede, Tang Yong and the others sighed in relief, smiling.

"Damn it, these beasts are so many. My knife was almost dulled."

"Yeah, luckily we found this underground passage. Otherwise, we’d have to hide for a while longer."

"Damn that Chairman Li. If not for him, we wouldn’t have taken such risks."

"Exactly! Big Brother!" An angry man said, "That Chairman Li humiliated us and made us this pathetic. Do you intend to let this go?"

"Of course not,"

Tang Yong sneered.

Hearing this, the group got excited.

Yes, this was the way their Big Brother should be!

When they were in Anshan City, Big Brother was so timid that they almost thought he had changed.

"Big Brother, how do we get back at them?" someone asked.

"How else?" A companion snorted, "What’s more satisfying than killing Chairman Li?"

"Second Brother is right. Chairman Li is arrogant. As for those guards, they’re just dogs, yet they act like they’re somebody. We’ll kill them all to vent our anger."

"But that guy must be tough to handle, right?" one man said, shrinking back.

"Fifth Brother, what do you mean? Are you underestimating us?"

"Third Brother, that’s not what I meant."

Fifth Brother quickly waved his hands, "It’s not that I doubt our strength. No matter if he’s on the Anshan City Awakened Association’s chairman, he’s at most a C-level Awakened. How could he be our match?

I’m just saying if he stays in Anshan City, we won’t have a chance to get at him."

"That’s true."

They frowned at this.

"Maybe Chairman Li is tough to deal with,"

Suddenly, Tang Yong said.

The four others were shocked.

"Big Brother, what do you mean?"

"I heard a rumor that Chairman Li killed several B-level Awakened by himself."

"What? Killed several B-level Awakened?"

"Big Brother, you must be joking. B-level Awakened?"

"Could he really kill several B-level Awakened alone?"
