Chapter 922 Unreasonable
Gu Fan didn’t run far but found a nearby inn to take shelter in. He couldn’t believe that his luck would be so bad to encounter Qian Feng and her companions a third time in this small city.
Fortunately, Gu Fan’s luck had truly changed this time; he didn’t run into them and promptly removed his mask, breathing freely and sighing in relief at the removal of the cursed thing, wondering what sort of mentality those people in the Martial Arts world possessed to wear such a thing.
Now that he had finally shaken off Qian Feng and her group, Gu Fan started considering how to use the limited information to find Lin Xi. If Lin Xi’s identity was indeed Qian Ye, and if Qian Ye and Jian Shen’s clues were connected, then all Gu Fan had to do was inquire about Jian Shen’s whereabouts.
"Martial Arts Competition? Worth a visit?" Gu Fan found a direction to search in, but he didn’t rush into action, as there were several exceedingly formidable women in this small town.
So Gu Fan waited for five whole days, thinking it safer. Then he stepped out of the inn, hired a carriage, and headed towards the site of the Martial Arts Competition.
After three days’ journey, Gu Fan finally arrived at the site of the Martial Arts Competition, noticing that despite the cleanup, one could still smell hints of bloodshed—a testament to the previous brutal fighting.
Gu Fan approached a nearby person for information, but they said that among those who had participated in the fight between the Martial Arts alliance and the Devil Cult, seemingly only Jian Shen and Qian Ye survived. That is to say, nobody knew what exactly had transpired that day, nor did anyone know where Jian Shen and Qian Ye had gone.
However, Gu Fan was curious about one thing: during the cleanup, some Western faces were discovered. They looked like the Western vampires Jian Shen had mentioned, which suggested that these vampires had bolstered the strength of the Devil Cult.
The Western vampires allying with the Devil Cult to launch an assault on the Martial Arts fighters, leading both sides to mutual destruction, was the speculation of most people.
