Chapter 618: Chapter 218 The Li Family Looked Into Chen Fan (5086 words) _3
Chen Fan shifted his gaze towards Snowy and Gangzi.
Then, he communicated with the little skeleton through his thoughts. He gestured for the little skeleton to come closer.
The little skeleton immediately picked up its bone knife and hurried over.
Shadow Demon: “…”
Feeling the horrifying aura emitting from the little skeleton, the Shadow Demon grew even more nervous.
Chen Fan stroked the Shadow Demon’s head, then copied its “Stealth” skill to the little skeleton. He swiftly raised the little skeleton’s Stealth skill proficiency to 100 points.
Little Skeleton: “…”
Without any pause, Chen Fan copied the “Stealth” skill from the little skeleton to himself.
“Alright, go back and train… Practice this skill more.”
Chen Fan gently patted the little skeleton’s head.
“Hmm… Oh!” The little skeleton wobbled away.
The Shadow Demon was confused.
The blind man who followed was also confused.
Chen Fan then called over the Elder Ape and Gangzi.
Then he copied the Shadow Demon’s “Armour-Piercing Blade” skill to the Elder Ape and Gangzi.
Only three hundred thousand units of system energy were left…
The energy was really running out.
The “Whisper of the Demon King” and “Void Divine Body” skills on the system panel were still not activated.
Chen Fan turned and went back to the stone table.
At this time, Shangguan Canglong and Feng Tianlin arrived.
The moment Feng Tianlin entered the door, he shouted, “Uncle Dong, get us an extra pair of chopsticks, we’re starving!”
Chen Fan: “…”
You show up at mealtime, treating this place like your own home?
Chen Fan was about to scold him when Feng Tianlin rushed over, “Chen Fan, after we finish dealing with those Martial Arts University guys in a few days, let’s go to the 1st Secret Realm in Demon City together?”
“I’m not going, too busy.” Chen Fan did not even look up.
Feng Tianlin did not give up, “Then lend me Snowy…”
“Scram!” Chen Fan immediately closed his eyes.
Feng Tianlin gritted his teeth: “I have a sister named Feng Xiaoxiao, and she’s very beautiful…”
“Hmm… Huh?” Chen Fan opened his eyes.
Shangguan Wulei turned red and kicked Feng Tianlin: “Are you tired of living? Do you believe that Shen Hongxiu will sneak into your house at midnight and behead you?”
Jiang Yuanfan rolled his eyes: “I’ve never seen such a shameless person.”
Mu Yuan reached out to Feng Tianlin: “Give me a million, or I’ll tell your sister about this in a couple of days.”
Feng Tianlin slapped away Mu Yuan’s hand. He sat down on a chair next to Chen Fan and said, “Did you guys hear? Yesterday, some people from the Li family caused a commotion at City Lord’s Mansion.”
“Li family? Which Li family?” Chen Fan was startled.
Feng Tianlin said, “Li Xinghai’s family… His older brother, Li Xinghe, died in the Flashing Firefly Swamp a while ago. It’s said that he was killed by the people of the Nightmare Hall.”
“One of them from the Li family, who was in 6th-Rank Realm, went to the Flashing Firefly Swamp, but never came back.”
“The Li family has been investigating this for a while…”
Chen Fan’s expression shifted slightly: “And then?”
Feng Tianlin shook his head: “The situation seems complicated. When I went home last night, I heard my dad and some others discussing this.”
“It seems that Li Xinghe had captured a bunch of people in an attempt to use them as bait for the Shadow Giant Beasts in the Flashing Firefly Swamp. But they ended up being obliterated by the Nightmare Hall.”
“What’s weird is, those who were originally used as bait were rescued by the Sky Demon Sect.”
“Now, the Li family is going to the City Lord’s Mansion, wanting them to look for these people and get to the bottom of it.”
“But the authorities in Demon City clearly knew the inside story, yet they suppressed it… so the people from the Li family went and caused trouble at the City Lord’s Mansion.”
Unable to help himself, Shangguan Canglong interjected: “Li Xinghe had committed all sorts of atrocities, he deserved to die!”
Shangguan Wulei pulled at his sleeve, cutting in: “Li Xinghe’s case, is it tangled up with Nightmare Hall and Sky Demon Sect?”
“If that’s the case, it does make sense for the City Lord’s Mansion to suppress the matter…”
“People from Li family really don’t know their place!”
“After Li Xinghe’s outrageous acts, does he still have the audacity to make a fuss at the City Lord’s Mansion?”
“What, are they expecting the City Lord’s Mansion to send a strongman to deal with Sky Demon Sect and Nightmare Hall?”
“Well, we can somewhat ignore the Nightmare Hall, being our enemy, but isn’t Sky Demon Sect supposed to be our ally?”
Chen Fan took a sip of water and remained silent.
“By the way…”
Feng Tianlin suddenly spoke up: “Chen Fan, my dad asked me to remind you to be careful of the Li family.”
Shangguan Canglong was taken aback: “What do you mean? Li Xinghai came looking for trouble, and Chen Fan gave him a beating. Is he going to seek revenge?”
“It’s not about Li Xinghai.” Feng Tianlin said gravely: “My father said, Li Xinghe died in Flashing Firefly Swamp, and Chen Fan and Chu Xuan were also in the Flashing Firefly Swamp when they were being pursued by Nightmare Hall, right?”
“The Li family sought out the City Lord’s Mansion, but the City Lord’s Mansion didn’t care.”
“However, in their continuous investigations, they may very well have stumbled upon Chen Fan and Chu Xuan.”
“Yesterday afternoon, some people from the Li family went to the Chu family to inquire about Chu Xuan. The Chu family caught them and beat them to near death.”
“Chu Xuan’s grandfather directly threatened that if anyone dared to touch his grandson, he would go right to the Li family and turn their world upside down!”
“It’s said that the people from the Li family almost vomited blood with anger.”
“Old Master Chu’s temper really is explosive…”
“Even though the Chu family only has him as a Grade Eight powerhouse and the Chu family had only just moved from East Sea City to Demon City, but which of the large families in demon city would dare to belittle the Chu family?”
“Just on the name of Chu Qingcheng, throughout Blue Star, how many people or powers would dare to target the Chu family?”
Shangguan Canglong’s face turned black: “So you mean, because the Li family doesn’t dare to touch the Chu family, they have directed their attention towards Chen Fan instead? As they can’t investigate Chu Xuan any further, they can only target Chen Fan?”
The faces of Jiang Yuanfan and Mu Yuan turned ugly.
Although they have also recently arrived in Demon City, they knew that the Li family had deep roots and enormous influence.
If such a family intended to make things difficult Chen Fan, it could become a huge problem!
