Chapter 540: Chapter 481: You Won’t Die if You Don’t Seek Death (Part 1)

"You... you’re alright?"

Hearing the noise, Zhang Dasheng’s wife and concubines successively ran out from the courtyard.

Previously, when Zhang Dasheng followed Nolan Qi and the other seven people as they left, they restlessly paced in the yard, waiting for Zhang Dasheng’s return.

"Why did you all come out?"

Zhang Dasheng responded irritably to a question not asked, a typical example of the kick-the-cat effect.

"I... I and sister were worried about you."

The second wife, usually doted on more by Zhang Dasheng, wasn’t scared when he got angry. Instead, she asked curiously, "Dasheng, what exactly happened? Weren’t you guys happily drinking earlier? How come you fell out in such a short time?"

"Don’t ask what you shouldn’t ask. All of you, get inside!"

Zhang Dasheng sharply scolded and then strode into the door, quickly climbing to the third floor of the small building, where he looked down high above at Miao’s house.

"Dasheng, it’s pitch black, what are you staring at?"

The first wife, seeing Zhang Dasheng in a bad mood, didn’t dare to provoke him, while the second wife followed up, full of confusion.

"How much more nonsense will you speak? Hurry up and go to sleep!"

Perhaps realizing the gravity of the situation, even faced with his usually beloved second wife, Zhang Dasheng didn’t show any kinness.

"Hmph, I’ll go. If you dare, don’t come to my bed tonight!" The second wife glared at Zhang Dasheng indignantly and went downstairs discontentedly.

Zhang Dasheng ignored her; even if he could bring to life the women from his treasured disks, line them up, he wouldn’t be in the mood to bother.

The Miao Family’s adobe house.

Both Elder Miao and Miao Xiuling had returned to their own rooms but neither could sleep.

Elder Miao smoked one dry tobacco pipe after another, and through the hazy smoke, one could roughly see his eyebrows still knitted together, his expression full of unresolved concern.

Miao Xiuling was also very worried.

Although she didn’t know what the Nolan Family meant in the Northeast, she could infer from Zhang Dasheng and Elder Miao’s tones that the Nolan Family was formidable.

In such a situation, even though Ye Fan completely disregarded the Nolan Family after injuring Nolan Qi, she was still somewhat worried.

It seemed that only if someone from the Nolan Family personally stated they dared not provoke Ye Fan would they be able to relax.

In the adjacent adobe house, Ye Fan too had not gone to sleep.

When Zhang Dasheng spoke with Nolan Qi earlier, though Ye Fan was too far away to hear what Nolan Qi said exactly, he knew it was Nolan Qi who had called Zhang Dasheng.

With this in mind, he was certain that Nolan Qi would seek revenge, and... it was very likely to happen tonight!

While being certain of this, Ye Fan’s face showed not a hint of worry. Instead, as usual, he engaged in meditation cultivation. Streams of Heaven and Earth Primordial Qi continuously flowed in through the window, entering the crown of his head and circulating along the Grand Circulation route, gradually transforming into Power.

Meanwhile.

The Humvee and Range Rover that had previously left Stone Village were now retracing their original path, once again heading towards the village.

"Nolan... Nolan Qi, you’re seriously injured. I suggest we go to a hospital for treatment first, then seek revenge," suggested the young man with gold-rimmed glasses from inside the Hummer.

"What the hell do I need a hospital for? I’m not going anywhere until I’ve killed him today!" Nolan Qi said fiercely, with no intention of visiting a hospital.

Firstly, he was blinded and maddened by hatred, and secondly, the last bit of his rationality told him that the local hospitals here couldn’t possibly treat his injury. Even the famously well-equipped military hospitals in Shenjing might not be able to treat it.

His only hope for treatment rested upon the miraculous Elixir Pills of the Cultivation World.

Seeing Nolan Qi disregarding his injury for the sake of revenge, the young man with gold-rimmed glasses and the other three felt a chill.

Amidst their alarm, another young man hesitated before asking, "Nolan Qi, are you sure your brother can defeat that guy?"

"The fuck are you babbling about? My brother is our Nolan Family’s Martial Arts genius. He is a first-rate expert throughout Huaxia; what’s that bastard worth? My brother could crush him with one hand!"

Nolan Qi ranted furiously, then realized something and asked, "What, you’re too chicken to follow? If you’re scared, I won’t force you. Just wait here for us!"

"That... that’s not it."

The young man looked out the window, shaking his head like a rattle—given the outdoor temperature was minus seven or eight degrees, despite being dressed warmly, standing outside for three hours had chilled him to the bone.

"Nolan Qi, just to be safe and avoid alerting that guy, I suggest that we park a bit further away from that village when we stop and wait for your brother to get there before we move closer,"

Observing Nolan Qi’s confidence, the young man with gold-rimmed glasses felt reassured and made another suggestion.

"Hmm."

Nolan Qi nodded grimly, agreeing with the proposition.

Clearly, he also knew that before his brother arrived, they absolutely couldn’t risk being discovered by Ye Fan, else the outcome would be dire.

...

Deep within Changbai Mountain.

Nolan Xuan, a Martial Arts genius of the Nolan Family, clad in a Martial Arts Uniform and combat boots, with a large saber on his back, moved nimbly through the forest like an agile monkey, at an incredibly fast pace.

"Huff! Huff!"

Due to Nolan Xuan’s extreme speed, the wind caused by his running created a continuous whooshing sound.

As the clock approached midnight, Nolan Xuan reached a mountaintop barely two hundred meters in elevation and less than five hundred meters from Stone Village as the crow flies, giving a clear view of the entire village, even to the point where homes with lights on were distinctly visible.

Looking down at Stone Village, a place he had visited five years ago, Nolan Xuan wasn’t in a rush to descend. Instead, he released his Spiritual Sense, only to find no trace of any Martial Artist’s presence.

"Did the bastard who injured Little Qi run away?"

Finding no one with his senses, Nolan Xuan pondered with a displeased expression as he took out his phone and dialed Nolan Qi’s number.

"Bro, have you arrived?" The call connected, and Nolan Qi asked excitedly.

Nolan Xuan countered, "Where are you?"

"I’m on the dirt road leading to the village, about three kilometers from the village!" Nolan Qi replied.

"Didn’t I tell you to keep an eye on that bastard? How can you watch him from so far away?" Nolan Xuan said somewhat angrily.

"Bro, don’t worry, I asked the village chief to secretly keep watch. That bastard is still in the village," Nolan Qi said.

"I just used my Spiritual Sense, and I simply couldn’t sense the presence of any martial artist in the village..."

As Nolan Xuan spoke, his Consciousness suddenly stirred, "That’s not right! There’s the presence of a martial artist in the village! Judging by the aura, it’s a Peak Innate martial artist—that bastard hasn’t left!"

"Huh~"

Nolan Qi breathed a sigh of relief, "I knew it, that bastard couldn’t possibly be gone!"

"Cut the crap, head to the village entrance right now, I’m waiting for you there."

Nolan Xuan had intended to go down and seek revenge directly, but considering Nolan Qi’s temperament, he decided to take action in front of Nolan Qi, allowing him to fully vent his anger.

It seemed to him that the person who injured Nolan Qi was like Sun Wukong, and he was The Buddha, believing no matter how much Sun Wukong jumped around, he could never escape from The Buddha’s palm.

"Got it, bro, I’m almost there!"

Nolan Qi said and hastily hung up, urging, "My brother has arrived, hurry, drive to the village entrance!"

"Vroom~"

"Vroom~"

Hearing Nolan Qi’s words, the driver of the Hummer immediately started the car, charging toward the village entrance, with the Land Rover Range Rover following closely behind, its piercing headlights illuminating the road clearly.

"Could it be that the Nolan Family has come?"

Zhang Dasheng stood in front of the window on the third floor of his house. Seeing the lights on the dirt road, he had a feeling, quickly went downstairs, strode out of the yard, and walked toward the Miao Family.

Shortly after, just as Zhang Dasheng was about to reach the Miao Family’s main entrance, Nolan Xuan arrived at the village entrance.

"Just as I wanted."

Ye Fan had never intended to deal with the Nolan Family people in the village. Sensing Nolan Xuan’s aura at the village entrance, he no longer deliberately released his own aura as before. Instead, he concealed his aura and silently left Miao’s house, stealthily making his way toward the village entrance.

At the village entrance, Nolan Xuan, dressed in a martial arts uniform and carrying a large saber on his back, stood there, like an ancient swordsman, exuding a towering and stalwart aura.

"With my current strength, facing a Peak Innate martial artist, even without using my saber, I could kill my opponent as easily as slaughtering a chicken!"

Gazing at the two cars driving toward the village entrance and sensing the Peak Innate martial artist’s aura he had felt earlier, Nolan Xuan sported a cold sneer on his face.

Although the Nolan Family specialized in saber technique, their cultivation technique was exceedingly effective in refining the body, and their Power quality was higher than that of martial artists of the same level.

With his strength, he could easily kill an average Peak Innate martial artist bare-handed.

"Bro!"

Quickly, as Nolan Xuan waited, the Hummer and the Land Rover Range Rover drove up one after the other. Before the cars arrived, Nolan Qi’s voice was already heard coming from inside.

"Screech~"

"Screech~"

Then, accompanied by the sound of car tires rubbing against the gravel road surface, the Hummer and the Land Rover Range Rover stopped less than ten meters away from Nolan Xuan.

"Whoosh—"

Nolan Xuan’s feet blurred, moving like a specter, instantly next to the car, opening the door for Nolan Qi.

Huh?

The door opened, and to Nolan Xuan’s surprise, he saw Nolan Qi with one arm hanging limply, blood stains between his legs, and his face pale as paper, looking utterly miserable.

"Little Qi, in a moment, after I cripple that bastard, you’ll step up and flay him alive, then throw him into the mountains to feed the bears!"

Seeing the severity of Nolan Qi’s injury, Nolan Xuan said murderously, "As for your injury, you don’t have to worry. I’ll ask Grandpa for a Nirvana Pill later—as long as you take the Nirvana Pill, your injury will definitely heal!"

"Mm."

Nolan Qi nodded excitedly at the words, then said, "Bro, I know which house that bastard is in, I’ll take you there!"

"No need, I can lock onto him through his aura..."

Nolan Xuan blurted out in reply, once again releasing his Spiritual Sense. However, he discovered that the aura he had sensed before had vanished, as if it had never existed.

"Bro, what’s wrong?"

Noticing the change in Nolan Xuan’s expression, Nolan Qi asked with some confusion.

Without answering, Nolan Xuan focused his gaze on the village, fully releasing his Consciousness, continuing to search for Ye Fan’s aura.

"Looking for me?"

Just then, a voice suddenly rang out.

As the voice fell, the figure appeared!

Ye Fan emerged from the darkness!
