Chapter 945: Chapter 945 A Pair of Despicable Lovers

During the day, the streets outside were bustling with activity as many people discussed the events of the previous day, all speculating about why so many Martial Arts figures were chasing a man and a woman.

Some speculated the man and woman were involved in an immoral liaison, hence they were being pursued to be killed.

Others guessed that the man and woman possessed a treasure map, which was why they invited such fatal trouble.

Even though rumors were rampant outside, that didn’t stop Gu Fan from being fully immersed in his training; under Mo Yun’s guidance, he started with practicing Qigong and then moved on to fist and foot techniques.

Although Gu Fan had not been practicing Martial Arts for long, each punch and kick he made was structured and precise, and his progress was significant. Coupled with his sturdy physique, he seemed to have great potential for success.

Naturally, much of this was thanks to the training that Su Hui had provided to Gu Fan, giving him a solid foundation that made his subsequent Martial Arts practice twice as effective.

Mo Yun watched Gu Fan’s growth and could not help but sigh, "Although your Martial Arts are not up to par, your foundation is quite good, and that’s thanks to the person who trained you."

"That’s right, I owe her thanks," Gu Fan said, swinging his fists vigorously before bringing them to a stop, his eyes filled with intense focus as he tried to recall the feeling of the training he had just completed.

After practicing Qigong, Gu Fan felt his strength had greatly increased and his speed had also become much faster. Now, if he sparred with Su Hui, she definitely wouldn’t be a match for him.

"Sorry, Sister Su, but it looks like I’m going to surpass you," Gu Fan thought of returning home to defeat Su Hui and surprise her, and he couldn’t wait to do so.

At that moment, Lord Xiong came over and, seeing Gu Fan sweating profusely from practicing his Martial Arts, appeared very impressed: "Young man, it’s good to train diligently, but remember not to overdo it and to rest when needed."

"Rest? I don’t think there’s time for that, the Martial Arts Competition is about to start, and I plan to compete in the ring," Gu Fan said. Mo Yun didn’t understand, "I can’t figure it out; at best, you’re a third-rate expert now. If you enter the ring, you probably won’t last even a single match."

Gu Fan looked unconcerned, "No matter, I just want to give it a try. Maybe I’ll get lucky and bumble my way through, ending up as the leader of the Martial Arts alliance."

Although Gu Fan said this, in reality, he just wanted to go to the Martial Arts Competition to encounter Jian Shen and Lin Xi. However, Gu Fan felt that with so many people at the Martial Arts Competition, even if he went, he might not encounter them.

According to Gu Fan’s plan, if Jian Shen also attended the Martial Arts Competition, he would certainly enter the ring. Once Jian Shen stepped into the ring, he would definitely be recognized, and then Gu Fan could follow Jian Shen to find Lin Xi.

There was another scenario: if Jian Shen only came to the Martial Arts Competition without any intention of vying for the position of Martial Arts alliance leader—if Jian Shen didn’t enter the ring—then it would be nearly impossible for Gu Fan to spot Jian Shen and Lin Xi in the massive crowd. So at that time, Gu Fan would have to fight in the ring as long as he could to attract Lin Xi’s attention.

Gu Fan pondered many possibilities and considered another scenario where Jian Shen and Lin Xi didn’t attend the Martial Arts Competition at all. In that case, Gu Fan would have to become the leader of the Martial Arts alliance to make his name known. That way, Lin Xi would learn of him.

Of course, the third possibility of becoming the leader was somewhat unrealistic. But for the second scenario, Gu Fan was definitely going to give it his all. That was why he was training so hard.

Lord Xiong suddenly furrowed his brows, "That’s good, if you, lad, can become the leader of the Martial Arts Alliance, then we could possibly use the entire Martial Arts community for our purposes."

"What?" Mo Yun and Gu Fan both felt this was a very bold plan, and they quickly realized the first wave of vampires had been defeated by the heroes of Martial Arts, and it seemed Lord Xiong did not want to repeat the same mistake.

If controlling the Devil Cult couldn’t avoid a confrontation with the heroes of Martial Arts, then controlling the leader of the Martial Arts Alliance might just make it possible.

Lord Xiong had already heard many rumors; the various schools of Martial Arts were beginning to be wary of people from the West, and the appearance of Xue Wang and his kind could not go unnoticed, which might trigger another battle.

The purpose of Lord Xiong and Xue Lang coming to the Central Plains was not to fight endlessly with the Martial Arts experts, but to seek true immortality. Unfortunately, the previous group of vampires had already made enemies with the Martial Arts schools.

Gu Fan frowned, he wanted to become the leader of the Martial Arts Alliance to make a name for himself, so he could then more smoothly locate Lin Xi, not to become a puppet controlled by these people over the entire Martial Arts community.

"What to do, what to do? How can I free myself of these people?" Gu Fan now regretted boarding this bandit ship, yet he had no choice, feeling anxious inside, he still managed to stay calm and collected.

Currently, Gu Fan was in the wolf’s den, one careless move, showing any oddity, could result in his death.

At that moment, Mo Yun said, "Alright, since we’ve decided to do this, I will give it my all to mentor this lad. Although it’s a bit difficult for him to become the leader of the Martial Arts Alliance, maybe this lad’s damned luck will be exceptionally good."

Lord Xiong nodded, "Do what you can, I’ll arrange the rest." After speaking, Lord Xiong turned to leave, but not before turning back to say, "Also, it’s daytime now, Xue Wang and the others cannot leave the cellar, and don’t you dare sneak out without permission during this time, to avoid arousing Xue Wang’s suspicion."

"Understood, we got it," Gu Fan and Mo Yun showed an earnest appearance of heeding instructions.

Once Lord Xiong left, Gu Fan exhaled, "Master, if I’m not mistaken, you are absolutely determined to follow these people."

"You’ve also seen these people’s capabilities, immortality, did you hear that, immortality actually exists." Mo Yun’s eyes shimmered with longing, then said, "Gu Fan, I haven’t forced you to join, but now, please understand the situation and don’t do anything pointless, just cooperate with Lord Xiong’s plan and become the leader of the Martial Arts Alliance."

Gu Fan also knew that the current situation was not for him to do as he wished, with insufficient power, survival required forbearance, and besides, Gu Fan also wanted to see how far Lord Xiong and Xue Wang would go.

Suddenly, Gu Fan thought of something, that in the future when he encountered Xue Lang and his kind, they still behaved like vampires, needing to consume human blood, which meant the Xue Clan hadn’t achieved true immortality, and this pursuit of Xue Wang and Lord Xiong was likely to end in vain.

"Alright, I’ll play along to the end," Gu Fan suddenly perked up, showing a cooperative expression, with not a hint of resistance, as if he was a completely different person.

Mo Yun was dumbfounded, thinking this kid had done his own mental work, and come to terms too fast.

"Master, what are you standing there for, hurry up and impart all your life’s learning to me, you’ll be grateful for your entire life."
