Lin Fei and Gu Changfeng drove away.

At this moment, a drenched figure emerged from behind a jagged rock on the cliff.

This person's eyes were cold and shone with a gleam of hatred.

"Lin Fei, Gu Changfeng, just wait for the Martial King's frenzied revenge."

Indeed, the soaked person emerging from behind the rock was none other than Housekeeper Hong.

Then, Housekeeper Hong pulled out a corpse with a pallid face from behind the rock.

The corpse was Jiang Yi.

Housekeeper Hong hoisted Jiang Yi's body onto his shoulder, leaped away, and vanished into the night.

The next evening, at the Guan family's villa.

Lin Fei sat on the sofa in the living room, sipping coffee.

Lin Fei came to the Guan family instead of returning to Shencheng.

This was because if he returned to Shencheng and Jiang Yi's father couldn't find him, he would undoubtedly vent his anger and retaliate against the Guan family.

Lin Fei didn't want to implicate the Guan family, so he came with Gu Changfeng to the Guan family to deal with Jiang Yi's father.

Also sitting on the sofa were Gu Changfeng, Guan Yunshan, and Guan Yuxuan.

Gu Changfeng, with a solemn expression, said to Lin Fei, "Young Master Lin, given Jiang Chen's skills, I believe he will soon come looking for us. Do you have a plan?"

Lin Fei remained calm, saying, "If water comes, we use earth to block it; if the soldiers come, we use generals. I am not afraid of Jiang Chen coming here, but I'm worried about Uncle Guan and Miss Guan getting hurt during the fight."

"Don't worry, Lin Fei. Yuxuan and I will hide," Guan Yunshan said to Lin Fei. "I've already sent all the servants home ahead of time."

However, Lin Fei was still a bit worried. Although Guan Yunshan and his daughter could hide to avoid danger, Jiang Chen was, after all, a Martial King. Anything unpredictable might happen at any time.

But if the Guan father and daughter left the Guan family to hide elsewhere, they feared Jiang Chen might find them and harm them.

In this way, the most dangerous place, the Guan family, instead became the safest.

"When Jiang Chen arrives, Uncle Guan and Miss Guan must not come out," Lin Fei said earnestly.

Guan Yunshan and Guan Yuxuan both nodded.

Night fell quickly.

Because of Guan Yunshan's orders, the bodyguards who usually patrolled the villa estate had all returned to their rooms, forbidden to come out.

As a result, the entire Guan family villa estate was silent, with only the lights in the estate quietly shining.

In the living room, Lin Fei and Gu Changfeng sat.

Lin Fei continued to calmly sip his coffee, while Gu Changfeng appeared tense, as if under significant pressure.

He indeed felt considerable pressure.

Twenty years ago, he and Jiang Chen were the most renowned experts in Hong Kong, with their skills being comparable at the time.

However, twenty years passed, and Gu Changfeng's strength advanced from the eighth layer to the ninth layer of the Grandmaster level, after which he encountered a bottleneck he could not break through to the Martial King.

Meanwhile, Jiang Chen broke through to the Martial King Realm ten years ago, becoming a Martial King that Hong Kong sees once in a hundred years.

Though Grandmaster Ninth Layer and Martial King might seem just a layer apart, the reality was like heaven and earth, vastly different, incomparable.

Thus, Gu Changfeng had a different plan: to resolve this grievance if possible.

Twenty years ago, he had some acquaintance with Jiang Chen, but over the years, both had immersed themselves in cultivation and had become strangers.

Gu Changfeng hoped Jiang Chen would, for old times' sake, ultimately resolve this grievance.

Of course, if the grievance couldn't be resolved, Gu Changfeng was prepared to protect Lin Fei at the cost of his life, as Guan Yunshan had instructed him to do so.

Thinking this, Gu Changfeng frowned before relaxing a little.

"Mr. Gu, Jiang Chen is here!" At that moment, Lin Fei's eyes flashed with brilliance as he spoke to Gu Changfeng.

Just as Lin Fei finished speaking, an eerie wind suddenly howled outside the villa, accompanied by a bizarre crackling sound.

The eerie wind swayed the trees outside the window, knocking them against the glass with unsettling noises.

Gu Changfeng's face changed, his eyes fixed on the villa's main door.

Suddenly, a crackling sound from the door was followed by a swarm of hundreds of bats flying in.

Hundreds of black bats flew into the villa's living room and hovered above it.

"Chirp chirp chirp..."

The entire living room turned into a world of bats.

Gu Changfeng looked surprised, saying, "How are there so many bats?"

Just then, the hundreds of bats hovering above the living room suddenly had their eyes flash with a bizarre red glow.

Lin Fei immediately sensed a sinister and dangerous presence in the living room.

"Be careful!" Lin Fei immediately warned Gu Changfeng.

At the same moment, the bats with eerie red eyes seemed to go mad, chirping as they swooped down toward Lin Fei and Gu Changfeng on the sofa.

Although these bats were small, they bared their sharp teeth, lunging to attack Lin Fei and Gu Changfeng.

Boom.

Lin Fei and Gu Changfeng simultaneously stood up, confronting the attacking bats.

A sweeping arc of True Qi shot out, and a raging emanation of ninth layer Grandmaster Inner Qi.

Wherever the True Qi and Inner Qi swept, hundreds of bats fell like rain, all crashing to the living room floor, none surviving.

Gu Changfeng looked at the dead bats covering the floor, thinking: These bats arrived in such a bizarre manner, it seems Jiang Chen has indeed come.

With the eerie wind howling through the villa door, a tall figure in red silently appeared from the door.

As this tall figure in red appeared, the temperature inside the villa seemed to abruptly plummet to freezing winter, chilling and bone-cold.

Lin Fei saw this tall figure in red, an elderly man in his sixties with gray hair draped over his shoulders, a face expressionless, pale as paper, like a dead man's face, with eyes sinister as hell's reaper.

The long hair and the wide red robe on his body moved of their own accord, exuding a suffocating aura of death.

Lin Fei had already guessed that this red-robed elder was the Martial King, Jiang Chen.

The red-robed, gray-haired elder at the doorway, without any visible movement, was in the living room the next moment.

His speed was ghost-like, truly coming and going without a trace.

The red-robed elder stood in the living room, less than three or four meters from Lin Fei and Gu Changfeng on the sofa.

"Jiang Chen!" Gu Changfeng, looking at the red-robed elder, recognized him as Jiang Chen and exclaimed in surprise.

After not seeing each other for over a decade, Gu Changfeng almost could not recognize Jiang Chen, for the Jiang Chen of old did not have such a deathly pale face.

Especially the menacing aura of death exuding from Jiang Chen; Gu Changfeng had not seen this before.

There were rumors in recent years that Jiang Chen practiced a Secret Technique, ultimately advancing to the Martial King level.

This made Gu Changfeng wonder if Jiang Chen's current corpse-like complexion and aura were related to the rumored Secret Technique.

Equally, Gu Changfeng sensed that today's Jiang Chen was like no other, with his own strength now worlds apart from Jiang Chen.

"Gu Changfeng, long time no see..." said Jiang Chen, his gray hair and red robe slowly billowing, as he coldly stared at Gu Changfeng, his voice as sinister and lifeless as the reaper from hell.
