Upon hearing the voice, Song Hailong’s eyebrows instantly furrowed.
What kind of question was that?
If they didn’t cause the explosion, then who did?
The key point was, when did it become someone else’s turn to butt into their conversation? The tone was even stiff, showing no respect at all!
Cheng Lei, however, felt a chill down his back.
That voice?
He turned around instinctively, and what he saw before him left him completely stunned.
Corpses, corpses everywhere.
The nearly one hundred guards who had come with them were all lying on the ground haphazardly.
Each of their necks had a horrifying wound, and blood was still flowing continuously.
Nearly a hundred people, all dead!
So quiet in death, not a single shot or explosion.
An unprecedented sense of fear washed over him like the sea, drowning him entirely.
Cheng Lei widened his eyes, looking at the person wearing the Evil Ghost Mask before him, his mind completely blank, unable to think.
In his mind, only one sentence echoed repeatedly,
When did this guy get here?
"Cousin?"
Song Hailong also sensed something was off.
He tried calling out, but getting no response, turned around, instantly falling into a daze.
Chen Fan looked at the two of them.
He was also awakened by the sound of cannons; after hearing two shots, he confirmed the direction—it was from the Chen Family Stronghold.
He didn’t know what had happened, why cannon sounds were coming from the direction of the Chen Family Stronghold, but just sitting idly in the base was not his style, so he spent some effort to slip out of Anshan City without alerting others and hurried over.
Then he saw the scene of fire blazing into the sky, dozens of figures searching through the desolated Chen Family Stronghold, and a surge of rage welled up in his heart.
Undoubtedly,
If the people from the stronghold hadn’t moved to the Chen Family Fortress, there would be massive casualties by now, with only a handful lucky to survive.
Thus, as soon as those people from the stronghold came out, he slaughtered them all, leaving only these two who seemed like the leaders.
At this moment, the atmosphere was frighteningly quiet.
"You guys blew up the stronghold, right? Answer me."
Chen Fan asked again.
"Yes, yes!"
Song Hailong stammered.
The man before them, who had killed nearly a hundred people without them noticing, could easily kill them too.
His instinct told him this was a deadly question; admitting would mean death, but denying would lead to a quicker death, especially with those two cannons right there.
"Why did you blow up the stronghold?"
Song Hailong was stunned.
Cheng Lei’s gaze fell upon the bow behind Chen Fan and blurted out, "You, you are from the Chen Family Stronghold?"
"Pff!"
A clear sound.
Cheng Lei clutched his neck, his body slowly collapsing to the ground.
His eyes were filled with shock as he looked at Chen Fan.
Yes, this person wearing the mask must be the Divine Shooter from the Chen Family Stronghold!
But according to Wang Xin, wasn’t this guy supposed to be at the Early Stage of Muscle Refining?
In fact, this power, was it Muscle Refining? At least Entry Force, maybe even a powerful Martial Artist!
"Thud!"
Cheng Lei’s body hit the ground heavily, soon losing its breath.
"I’m the one asking you, understand?" Chen Fan withdrew his gaze from Cheng Lei’s corpse and fixed it on Song Hailong.
"Yes, yes, I understand."
Song Hailong nodded hastily, trembling like a leaf.
The killer of Guan Dexi had been found, right in front of him.
But he felt no joy, only endless regret.
If he had known, he wouldn’t have come himself; now that he knew the killer was from the Chen Family Stronghold, he should have let the Awakeners handle it, right?
"Speak, why did you blow up my stronghold?"
With his identity exposed, Chen Fan decided to lay it all out.
Song Hailong’s pupils contracted, then he bitterly smiled and said, "If I’m not mistaken, it was you who killed Guan Dexi, right?" 𝚏𝗿𝗲𝐞𝐰𝚎𝕓𝐧𝚘𝘃𝗲𝐥.𝐜𝚘𝕞
Chen Fan did not respond.
Song Hailong sighed, "Guan Dexi was from the Guan Family. I don’t know what grievances you had with him, but killing him put us in a very awkward position,
If we returned to Anshan City with his body, we’d have no way to explain. Worse, we’d risk getting killed by his brother. So, I brought people here to catch you.
Unfortunately, we underestimated your strength, kid. Since I’m at your mercy now, do as you will."
"Why did you think I killed Guan Dexi?" Chen Fan asked.
