The others nodded in agreement.

However, as time went by, the group sensed that something was amiss.

At the same time, Li Yan's expression grew increasingly grim.

"Brother Li, what's wrong? Is no one answering?" Zuo Hong asked quickly.

"Um."

Li Yan nodded, and the phone automatically hung up with a beep.

"How could this happen?"

Everyone looked at each other in bewilderment.

Could it be that something has happened?

But how could that be? Even if the person from the Martial Arts Association is the real culprit, what could happen with the city lord personally leading the team?

Without hesitation, Li Yan dialed the number again.

As it turned out, this time was no different from the last; no one answered, and the call automatically ended after a minute or two.

"this?"

In an instant, everyone realized that something was wrong.

After all, at such an important moment, how could the city lord not have his phone with him?

Li Yan made two calls in a row, but no one answered.

Either the city lord is busy and hasn't noticed, or something has happened that prevents him from answering the phone immediately.

"Brother Li, how about we send two people to the Martial Arts Association to take a look?" someone suggested.

As soon as he finished speaking, he was immediately echoed by the crowd.

"Yes, Brother Li, the Martial Arts Association isn't far from here anyway, it'll only take a few seconds."

"That Li Ping, didn't he say two hours? We still have about ten minutes. If we rush over there, find out what's going on with the city lord, and then come back, we'll have enough time."

"Yeah yeah."

"Um."

Li Ping nodded upon hearing this.

This situation has rarely occurred before.

"You two go and take a look. Remember to be careful, better safe than sorry."

"Um."

The two people he saw nodded.

Just as they were about to leave, footsteps suddenly came from the doorway.

An ordinary-looking man appeared outside at some point and walked step by step toward the hall.

"President?"

"President!"

"It's the president!"

The Awakened Ones of Anshan City, who had been suppressing their emotions for so long, showed expressions of extreme excitement on their faces, like people who were about to die of thirst in the desert who had suddenly discovered a freshwater lake.

"President!"

A huge weight was finally lifted off Hua Jun's shoulders.

He was genuinely terrified. If his guild leader didn't return within two hours, he would likely lose his life.

"Li Ping?"

This commotion naturally alerted Li Yan and the others.

"Is he Li Ping?"

"Yes, it's him. I've seen his videos; it's definitely the same person."

"It seems he's a man of his word; he said two hours and he meant two hours, and not only that, he even arrived a few minutes early."

"So, he wasn't the one who killed Brother Du?" someone asked suspiciously.

The person next to him scoffed and said, "That's not necessarily true. What if he's confident in his acting skills and thinks he can fool us?"

The atmosphere in the hall suddenly became quiet.

Chen Fan's gaze skipped over the people in front of him and landed on Hua Jun. Seeing that the other man was pale and had bloodstains on his lips and clothes, his killing intent intensified.

Then, he glanced around again, and after confirming that no one else was injured, he turned his gaze to Li Yan and the others.

"So it was you who injured our members?"

Li Yan and the others were taken aback, seemingly not quite realizing that Chen Fan dared to speak to them in such a tone.

"President..."

Hua Jun was startled and hurriedly reminded him, "President, they are from Kowloon City, they are all, they are all B-level Awakeners."

Upon hearing this, the many awakened individuals in Anshan City who were initially excited widened their eyes in horror.

B-rank Awakened?

All of them?

This is terrifying!

"I know."

Chen Fan glanced at him and said, "So what if you're from Kowloon City? If I hurt you, you'll pay the price."

"President..."

Hua Jun was moved to tears.

Upon hearing this, everyone else was filled with envy.

I wonder, if it were them who were injured today, would the chairman have done the same thing and sought justice for them?

"Li Ping!"

Upon hearing this, Wu Fei was furious and was about to say something when Li Yan interrupted him.

The latter stared intently at Chen Fan, a forced smile on his face, and said, "Li Ping, you really aren't a C-level Awakened. You killed the Du brothers, Yan Ming, and the others, didn't you?"

Upon hearing this, Wu Fei and the others gradually came to their senses.

Yes, Li Ping seemed quite normal on the phone.

From the moment he appeared, he became incredibly arrogant.

Anyone with a discerning eye at the scene could see that the people from Kowloon City held an overwhelming advantage. Anyone with a modicum of intelligence would have kept their tail between their legs, but Li Ping did not.

Either he thinks he's very strong and is arrogant, or he thinks he's superior to everyone else.

Either this guy is putting on a brave face and trying to save face in front of his subordinates.

If it's the former, then the possibility that this guy is the murderer who killed Du Hao is even greater; it might very well be him!

If it's the latter, it's okay. Before long, he'll know the consequences of pretending to be something he's not!

"What Du Hao, Yan Ming? I've said it more than once, I don't know them at all, and the claim that I killed them is utter nonsense."

Chen Fan frowned and said impatiently.

"So you're admitting that you're not a C-level Awakener, but a B-level one?" Li Yan emphasized.

Immediately, Wu Fei and the others looked at Chen Fan with wariness in their eyes.

At the same time, Hua Jun and the others were shocked, but also deeply worried.

It's great that our guild leader is a B-level Awakened, since how could a B-level Awakened possibly be in charge of a small city?

The bad thing is that the opposing team consists entirely of B-level Awakeners. Eight against one, so even if the guild leader is a B-level Awakener, what can he do?

"So what if it is? So what if it isn't?"

Chen Fan countered with a question.

"So what if it is?"

Li Yan sneered, "If that's the case, why don't you get certified? Why do you keep holding the title of C-level Awakener? This deliberate concealment of your strength suggests you're doing something shameful, right? Maybe you killed someone and don't want to arouse suspicion, right?"

"Brother Li is right. Any normal Awakener would be eager to complete the advancement mission and level up after their strength increases, so as to enter a higher circle. Li Ping, you are an exception. Please don't tell me that you didn't have time to accept the advancement mission because you just broke through."

"Li Ping, admit it now? You're the murderer who killed Du Hao and the others!"

"Li Ping, stop clinging to wishful thinking. If you are the murderer, you won't be able to fool us today, no matter what!"

Several people shouted in unison.

For a moment, they all forgot about their plan to visit the martial arts association.

"So, based on this alone, you think I'm the murderer who killed your people?" Chen Fan raised an eyebrow. "Have you considered that I'm neither a C-level Awakened nor a B-level?"

"What do you mean?"

"You're neither C-level nor B-level? Could it be that you're an A-level Awakener?" Zuo Hong asked, his eyes wide.

"That's right."

Chen Fan nodded. "Actually, I am an A-level Awakener."

Suddenly, the hall fell silent.

Everyone stared wide-eyed, looking as if they'd seen a ghost.

"Yes, the president is... is he an A-level Awakened?"

Hua Jun's voice trembled.

real or fake?

A-level Awakened? Those are powerful individuals capable of overseeing large cities!

The other members of the association were equally dumbfounded.

As for Li Yan and the others, fear was revealed in their eyes.

Grade A?

Is this guy an A-level Awakened?

Just kidding!

The president of the Awakened Association in a small city is an A-level?

They wouldn't even dare to dream of doing that!

"Nonsense!"

Li Yan was the first to react, shouting angrily, "Li Ping, do you think we're three-year-olds? An A-rank Awakened, why don't you just say you're an S-rank?"

"You don't believe me?"

A hint of disappointment appeared in Chen Fan's eyes.

"Of course I don't believe it!"

"Li Ping, do you think we're fools? If you're an A-level Awakened, then we're all A-level!"

"This guy's become addicted to putting on a show. In my opinion, he won't tell the truth unless we teach him a lesson."

The members of the Anshan City Awakeners Association also realized what was happening and lowered their heads one by one.

Yes, just thinking about it makes it clear that this is impossible.

The chairman is probably just bluffing to scare these people away, right? Unfortunately for him, these people are no pushovers and won't be fooled so easily.

"If you don't believe it, then don't believe it."

A cold smile appeared on Chen Fan's lips.

He's not just bored and getting involved with these people.

He said these things for certain people to see in the future, and at the same time, to make his subordinates more devoted to working for him.

"Enough, Li Ping, stop changing the subject. Hiding your strength is just the first flaw you've revealed."

Li Ping said coldly, "We've watched the videos of your previous fights at least ten times. Your superpower is speed enhancement, but you've also practiced quite a bit of martial arts, haven't you?"

"So what?"

Chen Fan asked calmly.

"You excel at close combat, using a dagger, or rather, a knife. Yan Ming and the others died by that knife. And coincidentally, not long after their accident, you appeared at the Awakened Association in Anshan City, also using a knife. Can such a coincidence really happen? Can you guarantee that Yan Ming and the others' deaths have nothing to do with you?"

Li Ping stared intently at Chen Fan and questioned him.

He was confident he could tell if Chen Fan showed even the slightest change in expression.

Not only him, but everyone in the hall was looking at Chen Fan.

"Utterly ridiculous."

Chen Fan remained calm. "What do their deaths have to do with me, Li Ping? There are plenty of people in the world who use knives. Besides, compared to knife skills, my most powerful skill is palm techniques."

"Palm technique?"

"Palm technique?"

Everyone looked at each other.

Even Li Yan was a little confused and asked in surprise, "Your most powerful skill is your palm technique?"

"good."

Chen Fan frowned, seemingly too lazy to say more. "I've answered all your questions. Now isn't it your turn to answer mine?"

"It's not over yet."

Li Yan narrowed his eyes and said, "Whether you are better at swordsmanship or palm techniques is irrelevant, because all we need to know is that you are skilled in swordsmanship. In other words, your explanation will not clear you of suspicion. Moreover, if I remember correctly, you also know a mental martial art called Soul-Destroying Finger, right?"

"What, you're not trying to say that some of your people died under my Soul-Destroying Finger, are you?"

Chen Fan said.

"There are two B-level Awakened individuals who came with the Du brothers. One of them has the ability to be immune to any physical attack, but can be attacked with mental attacks. There is no good way to deal with it. If you are not careful, you can easily be hit or even killed."

"And the deaths of the Du brothers, hmph, are also related to mental martial arts. Li Ping, the mental martial arts you possess are probably not limited to just the Soul-Destroying Finger, are they?"

Li Yan pressed on, saying, "Dare you lower your guard and let us find out what's going on?"
