Chapter 409: Chapter 363: Reserve Head

"Huff~"

Upon seeing Xu Longxiang meet his end, Ye Fan couldn’t help but let out a long sigh of relief.

Just now, he had seemed to effortlessly slay Xu Longxiang, but in fact, he had been cautiously luring Xu into a trap he had designed, eventually delivering a fatal strike to the throat.

He was all too aware that if Xu Longxiang hadn’t let his guard down after breaking through the Illusion Technique and the Evil Yin Formation, thus allowing his consciousness to be disrupted by a sneak attack of Mind Power, Xu could have completely dodged the final Flying Knife Assassination.

This meant that his consecutive attacks were the only opportunity to kill Xu Longxiang!

If he had failed, even if he could contend with Xu Longxiang, he would have been mired in a bitter fight, leaving him no time to attend to Su Liuli’s matter.

According to Wu Hu’s memory, Su Liuli was now being taken by Wu Hu’s subordinate, Li Kui, to the Golden Triangle.

The current Golden Triangle Region had become the new center of the global Underworld, harboring numerous powers, a mixture of dragons and snakes, and once Su Liuli was kidnapped to the Golden Triangle, Ye Fan’s rescue mission would become as tough as ascending to heaven!

If it wasn’t for this reason, Ye Fan wouldn’t have chosen to seek a truce and avoid battle before.

Because Ye Fan had set up the Enchanting Soul Array in advance, his confrontation with Wu Hu and others earlier, as well as his recent killing of Xu Longxiang, were not noticed by the others in the villa.

Even so, given the lesson of Xu Longxiang, to ensure that nothing would go wrong, Ye Fan still released his consciousness, carefully sensing his surroundings to confirm that no one was around, before leaping up and dashing into the villa’s main hall at high speed.

In the villa’s main hall, Wu Hu, who had lost Ye Fan’s control, lay on the sofa like a living dead man, motionless, with empty eyes and a blank expression.

Upon seeing this, Ye Fan moved his mind, once again employing Mind Power to control Wu Hu, directing him to pick up the mobile phone on the sofa.

"Buzz~"

Shortly after, just as Ye Fan was about to make Wu Hu call Li Kui again, the phone suddenly vibrated.

The unexpected event prompted a reaction from Ye Fan, and through Wu Hu, he surprisingly discovered that it was an incoming call from Li Kui!

This discovery immediately made Ye Fan’s heart rise to his throat; he held his breath, without hesitation, made Wu Hu answer the call, and activated the speakerphone.

"Mr. Hu, things have gone south—the bitch got snatched away!"

No sooner had the call connected than Li Kui’s panicked voice came through, tinged with fear as though he had encountered something terrifying.

Gulp!

Hearing Li Kui’s report, Ye Fan’s heart thumped.

Immediately furrowing his brows, he continued controlling Wu Hu, and asked in a deep voice, "What happened?"

"That... that bitch was taken by a woman in a white robe!" Li Kui said, still terrified by the memory of the white figure, which had firmly imprinted itself in his mind like an evil ghost.

A woman in a white robe?

Ye Fan’s mind stirred upon hearing this, immediately thinking of the white-robed, otherworldly Buddhist expert Su Liuli had mentioned encountering in Southern Tibet.

The one Ye Fan speculated to be Bodhi Wu Yin, a Supreme Strongman from the top ten of the Dragon Ranking!

"What exactly happened?"

While making these associations, Ye Fan continued to manipulate Wu Hu, asking the question as he intentionally made Wu Hu’s tone sound very irritated.

"Just now, a woman in a white robe stopped our car. Fearing that hitting the woman in white might complicate things further, I stopped the car. But as soon as I stopped, I found myself unable to move!"

On the other side of the phone, Li Kui stood on the highway, recounting everything that had happened as if he had seen a ghost in broad daylight, shuddering uncontrollably, his face etched with fright: "Mr. Hu, I felt like my body wasn’t my own, completely out of control! And that woman in the white robe, like a ghost, floated to the front of the car, opened the door, and carried off that bitch called Su Liuli."

"Once that bitch was taken out of the car, she woke up. She seemed to recognize the woman in white, calling her a high master. And that woman in white asked the bitch if she was willing to convert to the Buddhist sect. The bitch agreed. Then, the woman in white took that bitch away!"

In the end, Li Kui held his breath, asking fearfully, "Mr. Hu... could that woman in white be a Buddhist master?"

"Why couldn’t I reach you on the phone earlier?" To ensure the truthfulness of Li Kui’s words, Ye Fan pondered briefly before controlling Wu Hu to question him.

"Reporting to Mr. Hu, at that moment, I was in a valley without any signal. After they left, I drove forward a bit and then immediately called you," Li Kui explained.

"Huff~"

Upon hearing Li Kui’s explanation once more, Ye Fan couldn’t help but let out a sigh of relief again.

According to Li Kui, Ye Fan could confirm that Su Liuli had escaped danger.

At the same time, he could ascertain that Li Kui’s loss of control over his body was most likely due to a spiritual attack from the woman in white.

And the reason the woman in white did not kill Li Kui was probably that adherents of the Buddhist sect emphasize compassion toward all beings, favoring saving and converting others, and are not proponents of unnecessary killing.

As for whether the woman in white who took Su Liuli was indeed the Supreme Bodhi Wu Yin of the Buddhist sect, Ye Fan thought it was very likely but couldn’t be completely certain.

After all, Li Kui was only a Postnatal Perfection Martial Artist, and more than one Buddhist master capable of influencing someone like him with a spiritual attack existed, not just Bodhi Wu Yin.

"Mr. Hu, what should we do next?" Seeing that Wu Hu was silent, Li Kui asked somewhat anxiously.

He understood the significance of tonight’s events for Wu Hu and the entire Nanqinghong, and now that he had messed up, even if Wu Hu regarded him highly, he couldn’t be sure Wu Hu wouldn’t punish him!

"You are to return to Dali immediately and stand by. Don’t go anywhere else!" Ye Fan instructed through Wu Hu.

"Dudu... Dudu..."

Perhaps not expecting Wu Hu to forgive him so easily, Li Kui was initially stunned, but by the time he regained his senses and wanted to say something, Wu Hu had already hung up the phone, leaving only the "dudu" tone in the earpiece.

"Sigh~"

Li Kui took a deep breath, put away his phone, turned the car around, and headed back to Dali.

Meanwhile.

Ye Fan thought for a bit before carefully searching for information on Nanqinghong’s core members in the Southwest Region, only to find that aside from Li Kui, the only surviving core member was a person named Ma San.

According to Wu Hu’s memories, Ma San was not a Martial Artist but a Vietnamese from the era of the state, who had served in the Vietnamese special forces. He was wanted by the Vietnamese military for shooting a superior officer and, having no choice, fled to Huaxia to seek refuge with Wu Hu.

Although Ma San was not a Martial Artist, his physical abilities were extraordinary and his Spear Technique was terrifying. Wu Hu valued him greatly and had him specifically in charge of leading Nanqinghong’s elite members in firearms combat.

After learning all this, Ye Fan pondered briefly before once again taking control of Wu Hu and calling Ma San.

"Mr. Hu."

The phone was quickly answered, and a hoarse voice came through.

"Ma San, I just got ambushed by a disciple of the Wudang Sect, I nearly lost my life in the Netherworld," said Wu Hu, controlled by Ye Fan, his words full of gritted anger.

"Um..."

Ma San was left stunned by the sudden news.

"Right now, take your men and carry out a bloody purge on the Wudang Sect’s martial arts gym in Nanming, and remember, not one should be left!" Wu Hu instructed with a murderous intent.

"Yes, Mr. Hu!"

Ma San quickly recovered from the shock and responded immediately.

Although he didn’t understand why the Wudang Sect would attempt to assassinate Wu Hu, as a former soldier, he had always adhered to the principle that ’a soldier’s duty is to carry out orders’, and had always been obedient to Wu Hu.

Otherwise, he would not have been trusted by Wu Hu.

"Wudang Sect, consider this a little interest I’m collecting in advance. One day, I will personally ascend Wudang to extinguish you all!"

After the call ended, Ye Fan released his control over Wu Hu and internally swore vengeance, then glanced at Wu Hu, contemplating how to handle the current scene.

"Buzz... Buzz..."

At that moment, the previously silent hall was once again filled with the buzz of a vibrating phone.

The unexpected buzzing pulled Ye Fan back to reality from his thoughts.

Ye Fan’s mind stirred, and he quickly walked over to the sofa to pick up the phone, only to see that the caller displayed on the screen was Nanqinghong’s helmsman, Lin Tianyi.

At the sight of this, Ye Fan couldn’t help but remember Lin Tianyi’s previous conversation with Wu Hu, where they discussed finding someone in the Golden Triangle Region to deal with him.

Thinking of this, Ye Fan didn’t control Wu Hu again, but instead pressed the answer button directly.

"Tiger, I’ve already made arrangements with someone in the Golden Triangle. They are currently on their way to the border. How long will it take for your people to bring someone to the border?"

The phone connected and Lin Tianyi, who was in Taiwan, asked first, his voice tinged with excitement, as if he couldn’t wait to use Su Liuli as bait to lure Ye Fan into the Golden Triangle.

"Wu Hu is dead," said Ye Fan coldly.

Wu Hu is dead?

How is that possible?!

Lin Tianyi, already a Peak stage Innate strongman with strong consciousness and firm willpower, was shocked into a stupor by Ye Fan’s words again.

"Who... who are you?"

Two seconds later, Lin Tianyi fought off the shock and asked in a heavy voice.

Although he could not accept the news of Wu Hu’s death, he knew that Wu Hu’s phone wouldn’t be in someone else’s hands if Wu Hu were alive.

"What do you think?" Ye Fan retorted with a cold laugh.

"Ye... Ye Fan?"

Lin Tianyi’s heart conjured an absurd thought that he found hard to believe, and he asked out of reflex.

"Lin Tianyi, protect your head well."

Ye Fan replied not answering the question directly, effectively pronouncing a death sentence on Lin Tianyi, "Because it’s already reserved by me!"
