Supreme Hidden Dragon in the City-Chapter 436 Did you guys forget about me

Chen Fan led An Lan deep into the cave.

An Lan was like a shadow, following every step that Chen Fan took. She clutched the corner of Chen Fan’s clothes with one hand, as if she feared being left behind.

Suddenly, Chen Fan stopped in his tracks.

An Lan, who didn’t react in time, bumped into him and quickly steadied herself, asking nervously, "What... what’s wrong?"

Chen Fan spoke indifferently, "Someone is lying in ambush ahead of us."

An Lan’s eyes widened, and she immediately grabbed Chen Fan’s arm, "There are others here besides us? Are you sure it’s a person and not... something dirty?"

Chen Fan glanced at her and said, "Let go of me and keep walking. Don’t show any signs of panic."

Then he pulled his arm away and continued walking forward.

An Lan shivered and hurriedly followed, trembling as she observed her surroundings, fearing that a ghost might suddenly appear and startle her.

The two hadn’t walked much farther when they saw a stone door ahead.

At that moment, three figures suddenly sprang out of the darkness, surrounding them.

An Lan immediately clung to Chen Fan, shouting loudly, "Ghosts! There are ghosts!"

Chen Fan was speechless. He tried to push An Lan off him, but she clung to him like glue, impossible to shake off.

He had already assessed the strength of the three figures the instant they appeared; one was a third-level Divine Realm and the other two second-level Divine Realms, which immediately calmed his mind.

Ye Lingyun emerged from the darkness not far away, eyeing Chen Fan and An Lan with a mix of surprise and mockery. "I never expected it to be the two of you. What are you doing here in the middle of the night? Don’t tell me you’re looking for thrills in a place like this."

An Lan, seeing Ye Lingyun, was also shocked, "Ye Lingyun?"

Elder Wu gave Ye Lingyun a look and asked, "You know these two?"

Ye Lingyun nodded, "The woman is a fashion designer, whom I have pursued for quite some time. But she refuses to recognize what’s good for her and has never accepted, the man is a nobody, good at archery but nothing else worth noting, no threat to us."

Even though he still hadn’t figured out how Chen Fan had neutralized the power he had released not long ago, now with three Divine Realm powerhouses by his side, Chen Fan’s respectable abilities were nothing to him.

Upon hearing Ye Lingyun’s words, the three Elders immediately let down their guard.

They couldn’t feel any power fluctuations from Chen Fan and An Lan, and with Ye Lingyun’s words, they assumed the two were just ordinary people.

Elder Wu fixed his gaze on Chen Fan and An Lan and asked, "How did you know about this place? What are you here to do?"

Chen Fan replied casually, "We found it by chance. Just wanted to see what was inside."

"You seem to know what this place is, can you tell us about it?"

Elder Wu chuckled and said, "Of course I can. This is the tomb of the Nine Heavens Fairy, a powerful figure from ancient times. There are rumors that incredible treasures are hidden in the tomb. We are here to open the Mysterious Lady’s tomb and take the treasures inside."

Chen Fan’s eyebrows raised, "The Nine Heavens Fairy’s tomb? Who is this Nine Heavens Fairy?"

Elder Wu stated calmly, "Rumor has it that during ancient times, many cultivators on Earth possessed abilities to move mountains and fill seas, displaying world-shocking divine skills. The Nine Heavens Fairy was one such dominant figure of that era. She seemed to have encountered some sort of disaster and perished, leaving behind this Mysterious Lady’s tomb and a Mysterious Lady Stone."

"Legend has it that whoever wields the Mysterious Lady Stone can open the tomb and take the Nine Heavens Fairy’s inheritance. Within this inheritance lies the ancient path to becoming an immortal. Whoever gains it can wield influence over an era and become a true immortal figure."

An Lan listened, baffled, feeling that Elder Wu was talking about things that belonged in a novel.

Chen Fan pondered briefly. His Inheritance Record had many accounts of ancient powers, but there was no one named the Nine Heavens Fairy mentioned.

"Could it be that the Jiuyou Immortal Emperor and this Nine Heavens Fairy were not from the same era?" Chen Fan thought to himself.

He looked at Elder Wu and asked, "If I’m not mistaken, that Mysterious Lady Stone must be in your possession, right?"

Elder Wu was momentarily taken aback before laughing, "Indeed, we have the Mysterious Lady Stone in our hands."

Ye Lingyun hastily chimed in, "Elder Wu, that’s a secret of the Ye Family. Why are you telling them all this?"

Elder Wu smiled and said, "From the moment these two showed up here, I never intended to let them leave alive. I told them this only to satisfy their curiosity before they die."

Ye Lingyun suddenly understood.

An Lan’s face turned pale with fear, but she still retorted defiantly, "You... do you have no respect for the law? We just stumbled upon this place by accident. What right do you have to not let us leave alive?"

Elder Wu glanced at her with a smirk and said, "Why? Because you know the secrets of the Ye Family, because you are but weak ants, and because you showed up in a place where you shouldn’t be. Are these reasons enough?"

An Lan paled even more, having always lived in an orderly modern society where she had never encountered such survival-of-the-fittest rogues.

Elder Wu didn’t plan to waste any more time. He began to gather Inner Strength in his hand, ready to dispatch Chen Fan and An Lan.

At that moment, Ye Lingyun stepped forward, "Elder Wu, wait a moment."

Elder Wu looked at him perplexed, "What’s the matter?"

Ye Lingyun leered at An Lan and said, "I’ve coveted this woman for a long time. I’ve tried to have my way with her several times but never succeeded. Her face and figure are top-notch. It would be a pity to kill her just like that."

"We’re still not sure what conditions are needed to open the Mysterious Lady’s tomb. Before we figure it out, why not have some fun with her first? There’ll be time enough to kill her after we’ve had our fill."

An Lan’s expression changed, "Ye Lingyun, you beast!"

Ye Lingyun sneered at her, "Earlier, due to social rules, I didn’t dare to easily touch you, but here, I have no need to be so polite to you. You’d better think about how to please me later and make me comfortable. If you do, I might grant you a quick end!"

Elder Wu, Elder Liu, and Elder Qi looked at each other after hearing Ye Lingyun’s suggestion. For a moment, they didn’t know whether to agree or not. From their hesitant expressions, it was apparent that they quite agreed with Ye Lingyun’s suggestion. However, their age and seniority made it difficult for them to directly consent.

Seeing their thoughts, Ye Lingyun smiled and said, "Elders, you needn’t be so rigid. The three of you are masters of the Divine Realm, and in physical strength, you are no less than some men in their prime. An occasional indulgence is no problem at all. Moreover, I can guarantee that I will not let anyone in the family know about this."

Upon hearing this, the three of them immediately showed smiles.

Elder Wu laughed heartily, "Since Lingyun has made such a gesture, we won’t refuse. After all, this doesn’t interfere with our serious business."

Elder Liu and Elder Qi also nodded with naive smiles. They were, of course, willing to do such a thing, but without Elder Wu taking the lead, they felt embarrassed to express it directly.

An Lan, treated like a toy by these few people and discussed so casually, was so anxious she nearly burst into tears.

Especially since these three scruffy-looking old men also wanted to participate, she wished she could bite her own tongue and commit suicide right then and there.

"You lot of beasts, perverts, you are not human! You will not die a good death!"

An Lan cursed and then quickly hid behind Chen Fan.

Ye Lingyun sneered as he looked at An Lan, licking his tongue, "Just cooperate with us obediently, you should be grateful that you can still enjoy such pleasure before you die."

At this point, Chen Fan, who had been silent all along, spoke up, "Uhm ... have you forgotten that I’m still here?"

All four men turned their gaze to Chen Fan.

Ye Lingyun chuckled, "If you hadn’t mentioned it, I might indeed have overlooked you. Elder Wu, this guy is a bit of a nuisance, let’s deal with him before we start our fun."

Elder Wu nodded.

Elder Qi stepped forward with a smile, "Let me handle this kid. You three just grab that girl."

Saying this, he was about to use his methods to end Chen Fan’s life.

Chen Fan looked at them wordlessly, originally intending to say something, but upon reflection, he thought it unnecessary. With a flip of his hand, the Sword Nurturing Gourd appeared in his grasp.

Immediately afterward, a flash of cold light appeared in the cave, causing the temperature around them to drop by several degrees.

Elder Qi was very confident about disposing of this nuisance in front of him, but for some reason, a sense of fear suddenly rose from within, and instinctively, he wanted to retreat.

However, the very next second, all he saw was a bright flash in front of his eyes, followed by complete loss of consciousness.

Elders Wu and Ye Lingyun both saw the flash of cold light, and in the blink of an eye, Elder Qi had fallen to the ground, devoid of any signs of life.

"Damn it! This kid is formidable!" Elder Wu’s face changed drastically, and he quickly released his Inner Strength, creating a protective shield around himself.

A streak of cold light appeared in front of him, effortlessly breaking through his protective shield, then piercing through the spot where his energy core was located.

At the same time, naturally, another streak of cold light had infiltrated Elder Liu’s forehead, claiming his life in an instant.

Elder Wu’s energy core was destroyed, leaving him a handicapped man, who plopped to the ground, sitting.

Ye Lingyun was dumbfounded, seeing two Divine Realm Elders killed and one crippled within a few breaths, he was stunned.

"He, he, he ... how is he so powerful!"

Without hesitation, he turned and ran towards the exit of the cave.

However, just as he turned, Chen Fan had already appeared in front of him, like a ghost, nearly scaring Ye Lingyun to the point of wetting his pants.

"We ... we can talk this out..." Ye Lingyun stammered.

Chen Fan said indifferently, "You should go and discuss it with Yama instead."

With those words, he kicked Ye Lingyun in the stomach.

Ye Lingyun was sent flying, crashing against the cave wall, creating a large depression, with blood oozing from his eyes, nose, mouth, and ears, dead beyond any doubt.

An Lan was dazzled, not understanding how, but Chen Fan had effortlessly taken down all these detestable people.

She looked at Chen Fan in a daze; nonetheless, Chen Fan had taken care of all the scoundrels right when she was most terrified, making him appear like a War God in her eyes, majestic and imposing.

"He ... he’s so handsome ..."

Chen Fan didn’t pay attention to An Lan’s reaction but walked over to Elder Wu, who now had become a cripple, "Hand over the Mysterious Lady Stone."

Elder Wu gave a bitter smile and took out the Mysterious Lady Stone from his bosom, handing it to Chen Fan.

Chen Fan accepted it and carefully examined the stone, finding that it was of exceptional quality and contained some mysterious power inside, which was quite fascinating.

Then he went to unlock the stone door with the Mysterious Lady Stone in hand.

Elder Wu, leaning against the wall, said, "It’s useless, we’ve already tried. Just using the Mysterious Lady Stone, you can’t open the tomb of the Mysterious Lady. Otherwise, we would have already entered."

Upon hearing this, Chen Fan didn’t pay attention, instead, he inserted the Mysterious Lady Stone into the slot, but indeed, there was no reaction. ƒrēewebnoѵёl.cσm

"It seems that in addition to the Mysterious Lady Stone, another condition must be met to open the tomb of the Mysterious Lady."

He thought for a moment, considering all the events that had transpired that evening, and eventually, his gaze fell on An Lan.
