School Beauty's Peerless Soldier

At this moment, Xu Fan naturally had no idea that Feng Wu actually killed Li Hua for revenge against him. But even if Xu Fan knew, he wouldn't be too surprised. Xu Fan had encountered many Hidden World Families' children, among which there were kind-hearted ones, but most had extremely ugly faces.

What Xu Fan cared more about now was the whereabouts of Zhao Chenglong.

In the forest, when Xu Fan was facing the joint attack from Li Hua and the others, Zhao Chenglong threw the Spiritual Snake to Xu Fan. At that time, Xu Fan thought Zhao Chenglong was worried about his depletion of Spiritual Power, fearing he couldn't resist Li Hua and the others, hence temporarily lending the Spiritual Snake.

However, upon reflection, Xu Fan vaguely sensed a hint of entrustment in Zhao Chenglong's actions.

With this thought growing, Xu Fan became somewhat anxious, following every clue he could find to seek Zhao Chenglong's whereabouts.

Nevertheless, Xu Fan was not an expert in tracking, and finding a person in such a vast world was no easy task. Zhao Chenglong seemed afraid of Xu Fan finding him, leaving no trace whatsoever.

As darkness approached, a phone call forced Xu Fan to halt his search for Zhao Chenglong and dart toward West City.

The call was from Old Xie, and the conversation was brief: Li Hua was killed, and according to Feng Wu's confession, Xu Fan did it, prompting Old Xie to urge Xu Fan to return quickly.

Hearing the call, Xu Fan was momentarily stunned.

It wasn't because of Li Hua's death, but because Xu Fan suddenly realized he seemed to have escaped Old Xie's control. Xu Fan certainly knew Old Xie had some contingency on him, like a tracking device, but if Xu Fan wanted to leave without a trace, he could meticulously check everything and eliminate any risks before walking away.

Yet this thought was discarded by Xu Fan almost instantly.

Currently, Xu Fan had offended the Huang Family and the Western Dark Forces, and even several Hidden World Families. The world is vast, but nowhere accommodates Xu Fan.

Indeed, Xu Fan could find the Old Undying and use his influence within the Three Divines Organization to escape the impending crisis, but Xu Fan didn't plan to do so.

Hiding behind others has never been Xu Fan's style!

Thus, Xu Fan's only choice was to return to the base. With less than a month left, though the Li Family's power is vast, Old Mu would never allow Xu Fan to perish! After all, he is Old Mu's hope, awaited for decades!

Undoubtedly, returning to the base means facing the backlash from forces behind Li Family, including Long Qing and Feng Wu, and dealing with the ulterior motives of Old Mu and four other Zhiwei Realm experts, yet Xu Fan remains unwavering!

The reason is simple, because only by returning to the base does Xu Fan have the chance to become stronger! For the sake of strength, what's a few tribulations?

Soon, Xu Fan arrived at the meeting point, where a group stood like spears, faces gloomy with eyes almost shooting fire at Xu Fan.

Among them were Long Qing and Feng Wu.

Meanwhile, Old Xie subtly signaled Xu Fan with his eyes while speaking to a middle-aged man beside him, "Brother Li Yu, this is Xu Fan. This lad is only at the Entering Dao Realm Peak, how could he possibly kill Li Hua? I'm sure the culprit Zhao Chenglong committed the bloody deed and Feng Wu was too terrified, leading her to mistakenly identify Xu Fan as the murderer."

Li Yu's face was furious, seemingly ignoring Old Xie's words, his sharp gaze like a blade fixed on Xu Fan, emitting a terrifying aura that enveloped Xu Fan completely.

"I will ask you only once: did you kill our young master? If you dare to utter a single lie, I will ensure you understand the meaning of life being worse than death!"

Xu Fan, however, did not reply to Li Yu's words, standing calmly, surveying the crowd before him. Li Yu's overwhelming aura had no effect whatsoever on Xu Fan.

Beside Li Yu were a few Vajra Realm Peak experts, all glaring at Xu Fan, as if wishing to devour him alive.

On the other side, standing near Feng Wu and Long Qing were similarly a few masters, displaying identical expressions as they gazed at Xu Fan.

Most noticeably, a group of Zhao Family members, following a white-browed elder, looked at Xu Fan with a hint of expectation in their eyes.

"Kid! I'm asking you a question! By not admitting, are you already agreeing by default?"

Xu Fan's indifferent demeanor instantly infuriated Li Yu; the oppressive aura of a Zhiwei Realm expert intensified wave after wave, like a raging storm crashing towards Xu Fan.

Yet, Xu Fan, who had defeated Li Hua and his companions, wouldn't be harmed by mere gusts of wind.

This moment, Xu Fan lightly spoke to Li Yu, "I say I didn't kill anyone, do you believe me?"

Li Hua already had animosity with Xu Fan, and now with Li Hua's death, coupled with Feng Wu firmly accusing Xu Fan as Li Hua's killer, Xu Fan found himself unable to defend his innocence. Therefore, Xu Fan decided it was futile to argue!

Moreover, Xu Fan knew clearly that even if the Li Family realized he wasn't the killer, they likely wouldn't spare him.

Xu Fan understood the Hidden World Families well enough; what they sought wasn't revenge for Li Hua, but the face of being a Hidden World Family.

And Xu Fan, having an irreconcilable enmity with Li Hua, surely wouldn't be pardoned by the Li Family.

"You're pushing my Li Family too far, wretch!"

Indeed, hearing Xu Fan's words, Li Yu seemed to explode, brows furrowed in rage, as violent Spiritual Power erupted, forming a giant hand aiming to crush Xu Fan.

However, Xu Fan remained calm, watching the approaching palm with unblinking eyes.

Bang!

As the giant hand approached five steps before Xu Fan, it exploded loudly. Old Xie sighed, withdrew his palm, and spoke to Li Yu, "Brother Li Yu, this person is still a base instructor, so I cannot allow you to attack him in my presence."

"Good! Good! Good!"

Li Yu laughed furiously, uttering three 'goods' in a row, then coldly focusing on Xu Fan, saying slowly, "From today, the Li Family and you are enemies unto death! Wherever you go, you will face the Li Family's relentless pursuit!"

"Also, the Li Family will place you on the dark list, offering a bounty on your head! Boy! When you are trembling in endless chase, regret properly!"
