Chapter 903: Chapter 875: Challenge

Yu Manfang indeed left Linchuan.

However, while Yu Manfang left, the other members of the Yu Family stayed behind.

Elder Ji had urged him to leave Linchuan, but Yu Manfang merely found a loophole.

He only promised Elder Ji not to stir up trouble in Linchuan. As for his grudge with Li Chen, it was clear that Yu Manfang had no intention of letting it go that easily.

Those Yu Family members who stayed in Linchuan were there to monitor Li Chen.

As soon as Li Chen left Linchuan, Yu Manfang would rush over immediately to intercept him.

No matter what, he was determined to kill Li Chen.

The will of martial artists is not only resolute but also obsessive. Otherwise, they would not have achieved their current realms.

Li Chen could have dealt with these Yu Family members, but doing so would only infuriate Yu Manfang further and yield no other benefit.

For Li Chen, the most pressing issue right now wasn’t these Yu Family members, but rather Yu Manfang himself—an Earth-level expert!

"How’s it going on your end?"

"No sign of Li Chen, and no news of him appearing. What about you guys?"

"Same here."

The old butler shook his head slightly and said, "That kid seems unlikely to show himself for a while. But we mustn’t underestimate his strength—after all, he managed to escape from the patriarch. If you encounter him, don’t act rashly."

"Understood. But, Butler, do you think that kid might already be dead?"

"This..." The butler hesitated for a moment before saying, "I’m not sure. But since the patriarch has already ordered us to keep a close watch in Linchuan, we might as well stay here for now."

"Alright."

The Yu Family members were resigned to Yu Manfang’s order.

After all, this wasn’t their turf, and out here, everything cost money.

The funds they had brought with them had already been completely drained due to the shrewd schemes of the Nether Army.

Now, they were living in Linchuan by resorting to some underhanded methods to obtain money.

After all, as powerful martial artists, making money through less conventional means was relatively simple for them.

The old butler sat at a street corner in Linchuan, smoking a cigarette, looking no different from an elderly man out for a leisurely stroll. However, his eyes instinctively scanned his surroundings.

Such a life was worlds apart from his days back at the Yu Family.

Keep in mind, although he was just a butler, he was still a core member of the Yu Family. Even if he didn’t enjoy the same treatment as Yu Manfang and Yu Zhe,

at the very least, when resting, the younger members of the Yu Family would treat him with respect and courtesy. Most tasks wouldn’t even require his own involvement.

"Since it’s the former patriarch’s order, I’ll endure it," the old butler thought with a heavy heart.

Just then, a man dressed entirely in black suddenly appeared in front of him.

The man wore sunglasses, obscuring his face, but the butler, being a martial artist, could clearly sense the intense aura emanating from him.

"This aura... Profound Level?"

The old butler’s body instinctively tensed up.

He was a Profound Level expert as well, but having spent so much time as the family butler, his training had gradually fallen by the wayside. As a result, although he was technically Profound Level, his abilities were far from those of a truly trained Profound Level martial artist.

"Who are you?" The old butler asked gravely, his voice weighed down by unease as he stared at the man standing before him.

"It’s none of your concern. I’m just a messenger," the man replied with a sly smile, adjusting his sunglasses.

"A messenger?" The old butler couldn’t help but be surprised.

He knew the man was here for him, but for such a powerful Profound Level expert to appear merely to deliver a message?

"Who’s the message for?" The butler’s expression remained wary.

"Someone you all want to kill," the man shrugged, then pulled an envelope from his coat and handed it to the butler.

"Give this to your boss. My task is done," the man said as he turned and left immediately.

The old butler snapped out of his daze and tried to call after him, but the man’s figure had already vanished into the crowd.

"Could this... be a letter from Li Chen?" The old butler’s face grew solemn.

What concerned him wasn’t just that Li Chen might still be alive—it was that the messenger was also a Profound Level expert.

Since when had Profound Level experts become as common as cabbages on the roadside?

After some thought, the butler returned to their temporary base and opened the letter.

"Tomorrow night at seven, Forget River Mountain, a duel to the death!—To Yu Manfang, personally from Li Chen!"

Reading the words, the old butler’s eyelid twitched involuntarily.

"I can’t believe that not only is this guy alive, but he even dared to send such a message!"

This was a challenge!

An unambiguous, barefaced challenge!

...

"So he’s really not dead." Holding the letter, Yu Manfang’s expression turned peculiar. "It seems that kid does indeed have a resilient fate."

"But knowing he’s lucky to still be alive, he doesn’t even treasure it. A guy like this is indeed amusing." Yu Manfang casually tossed the letter aside, a cold smile spreading across his face.

"Patriarch, we should consider this carefully. Since that kid dared to issue a challenge, he must have some confidence. What if he’s set up an ambush at Forget River Mountain?" The old butler hesitated as he voiced his concern.

He then described the messenger to Yu Manfang in detail.

"An ambush?" Yu Manfang shook his head. "Do you think I’d fear an ambush? In the face of absolute strength, all schemes are hollow and powerless."

"Even if, as you said, Li Chen has some Profound Level experts by his side, Profound Level will always only be Profound Level—they’ll never be a match for me!" Yu Manfang’s voice brimmed with confidence.

"Enough, that’s the end of it. I’ve already made up my mind, so there’s no need to say more." He waved off the old butler, cutting him short.

"If there’s nothing else, you can return to Linchuan and continue keeping watch. I suspect this might just be a diversion, giving him the chance to flee."

"This... very well," the old butler reluctantly nodded after a moment of hesitation.

He knew that once Yu Manfang had made a decision, there was no point in continuing the discussion.

Once the old butler had left, Yu Manfang sneered as he glanced at the letter tossed aside. With a sweep of his True Qi, the letter turned to shreds on the ground.

"Since you’re so eager to die, I’ll gladly grant your wish!"
