The middle-aged man behind clenched his fists tightly at the sight.

In his memory, his father had never shown that expression.

But today!

Everything was caused by this guy named Chen Fan.

"Forget it, let me handle it myself."

Chen Fan shook his head.

His pupils flashed slightly.

In the next second, everyone who was staring at his eyes had a blank mind, standing in place like puppets. Liu Zhenyang, the leader, even blurted out the name of the Divine Demon-level Martial Arts and its location in detail.

It turned out that after realizing their family ancestor was in trouble, he hid the treasure carrying the secret realm in a place no one knew.

Then, he came here to discuss countermeasures with important members of the family.

All the Divine Demon-level Martial Arts in their Liu family was the seventh scroll of the Longevity Technique, the Yang Scroll among the Seven Elements of Metal, Wood, Water, Fire, Earth, Yin, and Yang.

According to his account, their Liu family obtained this scroll five to six hundred years ago. Unfortunately, until now, no one in the family could cultivate it successfully.

Therefore, this scroll had always been placed in the secret realm.

With a thought, Chen Fan awakened Liu Zhenyang and the others from his control.

The few people looked at each other, completely unable to recall what had just happened.

But judging by the expressions of everyone at the scene, it seemed that something significant had occurred.

"Originally, I wanted to kill you, but seeing that you know your place, I'll let it go. If you want revenge, you are welcome at any time. But if I find out that you dare to lay a hand on other members of the Jiangnan Martial Arts Association, don't blame me for exterminating your Liu family."

Chen Fan finished speaking and disappeared in front of everyone.

At that moment, everyone let out a collective sigh of relief.

In any case, their lives were spared.

But...

"What exactly happened just now?" Liu Zhenyang sensed something was wrong.

It was evident that Chen Fan was here for their Longevity Technique. In the end, he left without obtaining it.

Everyone hesitated and didn't dare to speak up.

"Speak up!"

The current patriarch of the Liu family roared.

The more silent the people present were, the stronger his unease grew inside.

"P-Patriarch."

Someone gathered up some courage and said, "Just now, eldest uncle, he revealed the location of the Longevity Technique. He likely went to where the eldest uncle hid the cultivation technique."

"What?"

Liu Zhenyang was shocked.

"What nonsense are you spouting?"

The middle-aged man was furious upon hearing this, rushing forward and grabbing the other person by the neck, lifting him into the air.

"How could my father possibly tell him such an important matter? What nonsense are you speaking?"

"Patriarch, I-I'm not lying. I really, really am not lying."

The person's face turned red, he almost couldn't breathe.

"Patriarch, calm down, calm down."

A few people on the side hurriedly rushed up and pulled the two apart.

"Cough, cough."

The man took a deep breath and said, "Patriarch, I'm really not lying, it was the eldest uncle who said it. But I think, the eldest uncle and you, at that time, must have been controlled by the other party, you both seemed very odd at that time."

"Yes, yes, especially the eldest uncle, it was like he was hit by the Puppetry Skill. That person would ask a question, and the eldest uncle would answer. That's how the whereabouts of the Longevity Technique were revealed."

"It's all because that guy was too despicable, to even use such an underhanded method."

Liu Zhenyang, who realized what happened, was drenched in cold sweat.

Immediately, he dashed forward dozens of meters.

It was not just a Divine Demon-level Martial Arts.

There was also the family secret realm.

He didn't believe Chen Fan would be so kind to leave the secret realm treasure behind after obtaining the Longevity Technique.

Therefore, he had to rush over, even though he knew he was no match for him, he had to go.

The middle-aged man, seeing this, also followed.

Others wanted to follow, but the two of them were so fast that they vanished in the blink of an eye.

When Liu Zhenyang arrived at the treasure room, the originally floating brush had disappeared without a trace.

The huge room was empty.

The middle-aged man also arrived, and upon seeing this, he understood everything.

It's gone.

Everything is gone.

"Thud!"

Liu Zhenyang sat down on the ground, once energetic, he now looked like he had aged decades.

"Father!"

The middle-aged man quickly helped him up, tearfully saying, "Father, it's fine if the cultivation technique is lost, please don't let anything happen to you."

Liu Zhenyang's tears flowed freely, wanting to say something but not knowing what to say.

It was fine if the Longevity Technique was gone, they couldn't learn it anyway.

But the secret realm was their foundation for survival.

Not only was cultivation speed several times faster inside it, but in case of a major crisis, family members could also hide inside.

For instance, if Sifang City fell due to the Beast Tide, they could escape and survive. But now...

The middle-aged man shed hot tears, his eyes reddened with hatred.

"Chen Fan! Chen Fan! If I, Liu Zheng, do not kill you, I am not human!"

"Zheng'er, don't be impulsive."

Liu Zhenyang, upon hearing this, looked at him and said, "You are no match for him. If you act rashly, not only you but also our Liu family will face annihilation."

At these words, Liu Zheng felt even worse. "But father, are we not going to take revenge? He killed our ancestor and stole our most precious treasure. I wish I could tear him apart."

"Of course not."

Liu Zhenyang coughed twice. "Our ancestor suffered this calamity because of the Elder Council. They must give us an explanation."

"Indeed!"

Liu Zheng nodded repeatedly.

"I will call the Elder Council now, have them send someone to kill that boy and return what was stolen from our Liu family."

He then took out his phone.

Liu Zhenyang sighed upon hearing this.

The people in the Elder Council weren't easy to deal with either.

If their things fell into their hands, it wouldn't be easy to reclaim them.

Especially the secret realm.

No family would consider such a treasure too much.

But at this point, his biggest wish was to kill Chen Fan; everything else was left to fate.

In a twist of fate, as Liu Zheng took out his phone to call the Elder Council, his phone rang first.

Liu Zheng frowned.

At this moment, how could he be in the mood to answer calls? He was about to hang up when he saw it was the Elder Council calling.

"A call from the Elder Council?"

Liu Zhenyang noticed, his eyes revealing a look of surprise.

Then, he forced a bitter smile.

He roughly guessed the reason.

The Elder Council must have heard about the Bai family being robbed and called to remind them.

Unfortunately, it was still a step too late.

Liu Zheng realized this, took a deep breath, and answered the call.

As expected, an anxious voice came through, "Liu Zheng, has that kid named Chen been to your Liu family?"

In the top floor conference room of the Elder Council, Xu Hu asked into the phone, with three others beside him holding their breath, looking anxious.

"He's been here."

Liu Zheng gritted his teeth and said, "Not only did he come, but he also stole our Liu family's secret realm. My father and I barely escaped with our lives."

Upon hearing this, Elder Qin and the others exchanged looks of disappointment.

Still a step too late?

"When did he leave? Do you know which direction he went?" Xu Hu asked again.

The two Quasi-S-Class Awakeners were on their way to Sifang City.

If he had just left, there was still hope of catching up.

"Not sure, he was too fast."

Liu Zheng replied.

"Sigh."

Xu Hu sighed, "Liu Zheng, you should have kept him a bit longer. If you had delayed a bit more, our people could have arrived."
