High-level martial arts: Invincibility starts with basic archery.

Chapter 289 Xiao Hong, what are you doing in Anshan City? (Please subscribe)

Hearing such sharp words from Chen Fan, Xiao Hong blushed and wished he could disappear into the ground.

When has he ever been insulted like this?

In terms of status, he was second only to those True Essence Realm martial artists at headquarters, namely the president and his group.

Even martial artists at the same Meridian Refining Realm would address him as "Brother Xiao" upon meeting him, let alone those below the Meridian Refining Realm.

Yet, he found himself unable to refute this person.

The difference in strength between the two sides was so great that he hadn't even realized how the other party had made their move.

"Brother Chen is right," Sun Wei said, still looking shaken. "Keeping a guy like this around could lead to him being assassinated at any time. It's better to hand him over to headquarters."

"No, no!"

Xiao Hong's expression changed drastically, then he pleaded, "Brother Chen, Brother Chen, I beg you, I beg you, please don't tell headquarters about this! If you tell headquarters, I'm finished!"

"Who's your brother?" Sun Wei asked.

How dare you call someone like Brother Chen?

Xiao Hong immediately looked embarrassed and said, "Then, Brother Chen, or Grandpa Chen, please, please don't spread this around. I'm begging you, I'll do anything for you, even be your slave."

Do you think it's possible?

Chen Fan looked at him like he was an idiot and asked, "If I told you that I'm weaker than you, and I asked you to let me go, would you listen to me and let me go?"

"this……"

Xiao Hong was stunned, like a rooster with its throat stuck. After a long pause, he whispered, "I admit, I won't let you go, but I won't do anything to you either, right?"

"So, you're saying I should thank you for making me your tool in alchemy?" Chen Fan almost laughed out of anger.

"No, no, I..."

"Alright, I'm too lazy to waste my breath on you here."

He interrupted Xiao Hong, who was about to say something, and frowned, saying, "I will take you to see Chairman Chang later. Tell him everything you just told me."

"What! Chairman Chang!"

Xiao Hong's face was completely bloodless.

"Grandpa Chen, Grandpa Chen, please, please let me go!"

He cried out, "I know I was wrong, I really know I was wrong. As long as you're willing to pretend nothing happened, from now on, I'll do whatever you ask me to do, and I'll never complain."

It's easy to imagine what would happen once this matter gets out.

What do people in the association say about him behind his back?

How will he ever face people again?

Killing him this time would be ten or a hundred times more painful!

Of course, it's unlikely that headquarters would kill him for this, since he is the next martial artist most likely to break through to the True Essence Realm.

"Do I have to resort to some tricks before you'll obediently cooperate?"

A murderous glint flashed in Chen Fan's eyes.

Xiao Hong felt a chill run down his spine, and his heart skipped a beat.

It was as if the person standing in front of him was not a person, but an incredibly terrifying monster.

I'll say it one last time.

Chen Fan held up one finger and said coldly, "I'm not asking for your opinion, but rather asking you to do as I say. If you don't agree, I don't mind letting you experience the unbearable itching all over your body, the kind of feeling that's worse than death, where you can't even scratch it with your hands."

Upon hearing this, Sun Wei swallowed hard.

"I, I..."

"Um?"

"I promise you, I promise you, okay?" Xiao Hong had no choice but to plead, "Uncle Chen, by doing this, I've offended Ling Yu to the core. He definitely won't let me off easily."

"What does this have to do with me?"

A chill ran through Chen Fan's eyes. He needed to figure out how this guy named Ling Yu knew that he could refine a high-grade True Qi Pill.

Sending this guy here was solely at his instruction, and had nothing to do with anyone else.

Indeed, he still harbored doubts about Chang Fei and the others.

With his current strength, even if he is not a match for the headquarters, he has the confidence to challenge them. Moreover, others have already come to bully him on his doorstep.

If he remains indifferent, it will only embolden the mastermind behind it!

So, whoever dares to extend their claws at him should be prepared to have their arm chopped off with a single stroke!

Under the bewildered gazes of some martial artists around them, Chen Fan carried the immobile Xiao Hong into the conference room.

In addition, Sun Wei was also present.

He licked his lips, his heart filled with trepidation.

Chen Fan took out his phone and dialed Chang Fei's number.

The call was answered after only two rings, and Chang Fei's delighted voice came through.

"What's wrong, Brother Chen? Do you have some good pill formula to sell to headquarters? Don't worry, price is not a problem. If you have it, headquarters will take it all."

Chang Fei sat in the chair and said with a smile.

"President Chang, are you available now?" Chen Fan's voice was calm.

"It's convenient, what's up?"

Chang Fei sat up straight immediately. Even if he was slow to notice, he could tell that Chen Fan's tone was unusual.

My heart jumped into my throat.

What's going on? Is there something at headquarters that Brother Chen is unhappy about?

Was there a problem with the weapons and equipment that were sent over? But that shouldn't be the case. Those items were all inspected by him, and there's absolutely no way there could be a problem, unless someone is incredibly audacious enough to tamper with them midway through the journey. But is that even possible?

"President, let's have a video call then. I have something very important to tell you."

"Okay, I'll get ready right away."

Chang Fei's tone became serious, and he hung up the phone.

"Brother Chen, the video is ready. However, this matter should have nothing to do with the chairman," Sun Wei said cautiously.

It was obvious to everyone that Chen Fan was truly angry this time.

He was also very angry, because if Chen Fan hadn't arrived in time, he probably would have lost his life there.

However, headquarters is headquarters after all. If the relationship between the two sides really sours because of this, it would be bad.

"Yes, I'd like to believe that, but..."

Chen Fan did not continue speaking.

"Sigh." Sun Wei sighed softly, not knowing what to say.

Standing to the side, Xiao Hong, who was still in a palm strike posture, was now sweating profusely.

Soon, Chang Fei sent a video call. When the video connected and he saw the scene in the conference room, Chang Fei looked puzzled.

"Xiao Hong, you're here too?"

"Yes, yes, President."

Xiao Hong's smile looked even more like a grimace than a cry.

If he could turn back time, he would rather risk offending Ling Yu than come here.

The next moment, Chang Fei realized that something was wrong.

"Why are you standing there so still, and in that posture?"

Chang Fei frowned deeply.

"I used acupressure on him."

Chen Fan's voice rang out.

"You acupunctured me? What? You acupunctured me!!!"

Chang Fei stared wide-eyed at Chen Fan, his expression one of disbelief.

The association has many martial arts techniques that can target pressure points, which can control the opponent and even make them wish they were dead.

That's not surprising.

Strangely enough, Xiao Hong was a true late-stage Qi Refining martial artist, and the kind who had even opened up all eight extraordinary meridians!

But what about Chen Fan?

If he remembers correctly, he broke through to the Meridian Refining Realm just two days ago, right?

In other words, he should only be a martial artist in the early stage of Qi Refining. How could he possibly be able to strike Xiao Hong's acupoints?

Even if the latter is caught off guard and ambushed, how long can Chen Fan control himself with his pitifully small amount of true energy?

But from the moment he noticed this situation until now, at least five or six seconds have passed, and the actual time is probably much longer.

"President, he's right, he did indeed acupuncture me."

Xiao Hong gave a wry smile and honestly said, "Brother Chen's strength is far above mine. Before I could even react to what was happening, he had already taken control of me. Not only could I not move my body, but I also couldn't mobilize the true energy in my body."

"What?!"

Upon hearing this, Chang Fei's head was buzzing.

Xiao Hong is a late-stage Qi Refining martial artist, isn't he?

He actually said that his strength was far inferior to Chen Fan's?

Did he mishear? Or did the sun rise in the west today?

After a brief moment of distraction, Chang Fei snapped back to reality, his gaze falling on Chen Fan. He asked, "Brother Chen, what exactly happened?"

The situation before us is eerily strange.

For example, Xiao Hong, wasn't he always at headquarters? Why did he go to Anshan City?

"President, I think you should listen to what he has to say first."

Chen Fan turned his head and looked at Xiao Hong.

The latter's face turned red again, burning red.

"it is good."

Chang Fei didn't say much, but instead turned his gaze to Xiao Hong and said, "Tell me, what exactly happened? Aren't you supposed to be at headquarters? What are you doing here?"

The atmosphere in the conference room instantly became extremely quiet, with only a few people and the sound of their breathing.

A moment later, Xiao Hong burst into tears and said, "President, this matter really has nothing to do with me. I was just used by someone, which is why I made such a big mistake."

Chang Fei's expression changed.

He had a premonition that something terrible was about to happen.

Upon hearing this, and considering Chen Fan's gloomy expression, a thought involuntarily popped into my mind.

Could it be that Xiao Hong traveled all the way from headquarters to Anshan City just to cause trouble for Brother Chen?

The thought sent chills down his spine.

"Don't cry!"

He snapped, "What exactly happened? Tell me the whole story from beginning to end."

"Yes, yes."

Xiao Hong sniffled, his voice trembling with tears, and said, "This all started when Ling Yu came to me last night..."
