63: Chapter 62 Seize
Li Fan followed him by tracking this aura.
Passing through gate after gate, he went deeper and deeper underground.
Finally, he arrived before a massive gate, upon which complex Formation patterns were flowing.
Li Fan tentatively placed his terminal on the Formation patterns, unsure if his authorization as the Chairman's secretary would grant him entry.
Unexpectedly, a flash of light rippled across the patterns, and the gate slowly began to rise.
The movement was quite loud, and Li Fan worried about being discovered.
After glancing at the System, which remained unchanged, he cautiously stepped inside.
"Why so nervous? Come here quickly."
Suddenly, a cold, clear voice echoed through the empty room.
It was not the weathered voice of Qin Jindan.
He had indeed been discovered, but he saw that the System was still the 'Pretentious Slap-Face System.'
It hadn't changed into something like 'Underdog Reversal' or 'Survival from Desperation.'
Li Fan hesitated no longer and strode inside.
Not long after, a massive one-way mirror came into view.
Standing quietly before the glass was a Woman in white coat.
"The Chief of the Medical Center?"
Li Fan silently sensed the person's aura. It was incredibly profound, making him uncertain of her exact Realm.
Since he couldn't be sure, he would just ask.
Following his usual style, Li Fan spoke directly, "May I ask how to address you, Senior?"
The woman did not turn her head, continuing to watch the room behind the glass, where Qin Jindan had appeared.
He was sitting cross-legged in the middle of a Formation, seemingly waiting for something.
After a long while, the Woman in white coat replied, "You know my name."
This statement left Li Fan bewildered.
As a Foundation Establishment Cultivator, his memory was incredibly clear.
Yet, there was not a shred of information in his mind regarding the woman before him.
Facing a riddle-monger, if not for the fact that his cultivation was lower than hers, Li Fan would have already rushed up and slapped her.
Without turning back, the woman seemed to read Li Fan's thoughts and continued,
"Don't glare at me from behind."
"To be honest, Li Fan, I'm quite afraid of you."
Hearing this, Li Fan was puzzled.
This woman had to be at least at the Golden Core stage; why would a Nascent Soul Cultivator be afraid of a Foundation Establishment Cultivator like him?
The Woman in white coat changed the subject and continued,
"You know about the Three Spirit Techniques, right?"
Li Fan nodded; this referred to the three Cultivation Techniques: 'Spirit Nourishing Technique,' 'Spirit Fusion Technique,' and 'Spirit Transfer Technique.'
"Then you should have heard of the Duoling Technique as well."
He had indeed heard of this technique from Luo Qingqian.
Since things had reached this point, Li Fan naturally guessed something and looked into the room behind the glass window.
A secret door in the room opened, and a rectangular block of ice slid in.
Through the transparent ice, Li Fan could see a woman frozen inside—it was Chang Yufei.
The Formation began to operate slowly, and the ice started to melt rapidly.
Before long, Chang Yufei slowly opened her eyes, and undisguisable terror welled up in them.
Before she could fully comprehend the situation, the Formation patterns flared with red light.
Blood droplets seeped from the pores of the two people in the room, and soon, they turned into two blood-covered figures.
Chang Yufei pounded against the one-way glass, screaming continuously.
Outside the glass, Li Fan could only see her twisted expression due to the soundproofing.
The Woman in white coat remained expressionless and explained,
"However, this is not the 'Duoling Technique,' but a technique you have never heard of, yet it is quite similar."
"It is called the 'Body Seizing Art.'"
Just by hearing the name, Li Fan knew the purpose of this technique.
The essence blood seeping from the two, along with the bloodstains Chang Yufei left on the glass while struggling, were all absorbed by the Formation.
In the air, it condensed into a blood droplet the size of a bean.
It was estimated that the Body Seizing Art would be completed in no time.
At this moment, the Woman in white coat snapped her fingers, and a portal large enough for a person to enter appeared on the massive glass.
Li Fan thought she was going in to seize the blood droplet, but unexpectedly, the woman turned around, her gaze landing on him.
"Whoever absorbs this blood droplet will be able to fuse with and obtain the other person's Physique."
"Right now, this Golden Core Cultivator is extremely weak."
"With your cultivation, you can easily kill him if you go in, and let the other woman swallow the blood droplet to recover."
After a brief pause, she continued, "However, I will truthfully inform the Main Planet Qin Family that Qin Jindan died at your hands."
"At that time, you will face pursuit from Golden Core or even Nascent Soul Cultivators."
A choice of two.
Eliminating Qin Jindan would not only save the woman.
Without him interfering, it would also help Wen Xinmei take control of the Procurement Management Department faster.
However, as the Woman in white coat said, he would face significant trouble afterward.
His leisurely life might be gone forever.
For a moment, Li Fan really found it difficult to make a choice.
Seeing that Li Fan was still hesitating, the Woman in white coat added more weight,
"If this trip goes smoothly for Qin Jindan, and he completes his Physique deficiency, he should, as expected, be able to advance further."
"By then, the Qin Family will have an additional Nascent Soul Cultivator with potential, and the seat allocation in the United Pharmaceutical Industry will likely change."
Once these words were spoken, Li Fan naturally knew that the best decision at the moment was to go in and kill Qin Jindan himself.
This would not only save Chang Yufei but also make it smoother for Wen Xinmei to control the Procurement Management Department.
Li Fan's gaze fixed on the emaciated Chang Yufei behind the glass.
After careful consideration, he made his choice.
