situation!

The West District is the farthest from the Martial Arts Academy, which is located in the southeast.

On the desolate streets, there were few pedestrians, and they all hurried along.

Even merchants doing business at their storefronts frowned and spoke in hushed tones!

When some people saw Chen Fan's burly figure pass by, they almost all moved away in fear! As if they were afraid Chen Fan would attack them!

If it were before, although his height would also attract attention, it would at most be with a look of surprise, not fear!

Chen Fan slowed his pace, walking through several streets before picking up speed and heading straight for the Golden Wing Tower.

As he approached the center of Mount Song City and moved closer to the southeast, the situation finally improved. More pedestrians appeared on the streets, and the noisy sounds from restaurants pulled Chen Fan back to this familiar place.

Here, among the common people, there were many students and Grandmasters from the Martial Arts Academy. They also needed to live and relied on Mount Song City to purchase supplies or various conveniences!

Chen Fan zigzagged, turning left and right, and finally found the Golden Wing Tower's address on a street that was not a major thoroughfare.

However, just by getting close, Chen Fan's expression changed. He smelled blood!!!

...In a large mansion in the western part of Mount Song City.

Inside the mansion, a small round table was set up. At 120-degree angles around the table, three chairs were placed, each occupied by a figure with terrifying Qi.

They seemed to be discussing something, but were suddenly interrupted by a sound from outside.

"Report!"

A figure rushed into the mansion, immediately knelt on the ground, and respectfully saluted the three big figures!

One of the well-built men looked up, displeased.

"What's going on? Didn't I say not to disturb me and the other two Cult Masters unless it was important?"

The sentinel trembled, feeling as if he was being watched by a fierce beast, and quickly explained, "There's a situation at the Golden Wing Tower!"

"Oh? Did Old Man Shen bring that kid surnamed Zhu out?"

The Old Man Shen he referred to was clearly the old Grandmaster secretly stationed at the Golden Wing Tower.

"Impossible!" A thin, weak man with narrowed eyes shook his head and interrupted, "That Old fellow took a blow from my Tianshan Soul Scattering Palm half a month ago. He's probably critically ill now and can't possibly have the strength to resist."

"Then could it be... someone from the Golden Wing Tower Headquarters?" The third to speak was an graceful woman, ordinary in appearance but with a fiery figure.

"Impossible!" The first well-built man said decisively, "I've arranged for people to intercept the Golden Eagle messages used by the Golden Wing Tower in all directions. Not a single piece of intelligence will get out of the city."

"Tell me what happened," the man said with authority!

The sentinel, suppressing his alarm, replied, "We found the Dark Envoy of the Golden Wing Tower, Mad Beast Chen Fan, at the west gate of the city. And his Qi seems to have reached the Quenching Marrow Realm!"

The three were immediately taken aback, both shocked by Chen Fan's rapid Breakthrough and by the fact that he was still alive!

Yes, their intelligence channels came from a very powerful cooperating organization. They had already received news when the Chief Agent of Mount Song City fell into the polluted area!

But the three of them suppressed their restless hearts and waited to see how things would unfold. This, in turn, misled the Golden Wing Tower into thinking they were well-hidden!

Then, several months ago, they received another secret letter: Chen Fan, this Dark Envoy whose depths they couldn't gauge, was dispatched to the polluted area to assist in battle!

With this dispatch, the three of them almost believed Chen Fan was doomed and could never return!

Half a month ago, finally well-prepared, they launched an all-out surprise attack on the Golden Wings Pavilion Branch in Mount Song!

The Golden Wing Tower was still the Golden Wing Tower, resisting with extreme force, and even invited external aid to help.

For a time, they actually managed to withstand the offensive power of the Three Great Secret Cults!!

However, unfortunately, the flaw of hired help also emerged at this moment!

They were actually swayed by the Three Great Secret Cults on the spot, which led to the Golden Wing Tower's continuous retreat, eventually forcing them to scatter and hide!

And just now, they had already found the hiding place of the remaining Golden Wing Tower members and planned to set up a dragnet from all directions, ensuring that no one would escape.

And now, this unexpected person had actually escaped from that polluted area? And even, by a stroke of luck, reached the Quenching Marrow Realm.

"Mad Beast Chen Fan, I've heard his name. He has an impressive record and is very strong. If he finds the Golden Wing Tower's hiding place and they unite, it will probably cause us unnecessary casualties!"

"That's true, but they can't communicate with each other right now, so they shouldn't know what's happening. We'll eliminate the remaining Golden Wing Tower members first, free up our hands, and then deal with this unstable time bomb!"

"Agreed!" The other two nodded, agreeing with the plan!

"In that case, we should have enough time to open the Primal Ruins!"

"Once we get the ruins, we'll leave. By then, even if the Golden Wing Tower Headquarters discovers the situation here, we'll already be long gone."

"Three sirs, the Xi Cult has a new intelligence source!" Suddenly, a figure rushed in quickly.

"Oh? The Xi Cult has intelligence at this time? Present it!"

Soon, a small slip of paper was brought up, densely covered with writing.

"Golden Wing Tower, the tianjiao gold list has changed. Number ninety-six, Lie Yangzi, died in the Green Shade City incident!"

"According to unreliable internal intelligence, the ninety-sixth spot on the golden ranking will be replaced by Chen Fan."

Seeing the note, the three looked at each other.

Chen Fan, isn't that Mad Beast... "It shouldn't be, it's unlikely!" The woman was the first to shake her head!

"I also think it's impossible, it must be a coincidence of names," the kidney-deficient man also shook his head repeatedly!

"Not to mention he's only a Quenching Marrow Grandmaster who just broke through, at most at the first stage."

"Even if he were a high-stage Quenching Marrow Grandmaster, how could a mere Loose Cultivator compare to those true Prodigy golden ranking powerhouses of the Golden Wing Tower!"

The well-built man clearly agreed with this statement wholeheartedly!

They had a direct understanding of how high the value of the Golden Wing Tower's tianjiao gold list was!

Simply put, the powerhouses on it not only had exceptionally high cultivation, but their strength was also unrivaled among their peers, or rather, it couldn't even be called unrivaled, it was a complete crushing victory!!

Each person had more or less influence supporting them, lacking nothing in resources, Cultivation Technique, Mystic Art, and talent.

One could say that any random person from the golden ranking would be enough to sweep through their three Esoteric Sect Branches!!

And clearly, this Chen Fan, apart from his name, in other aspects completely did not fit such a description?

After putting this matter aside, the three began to loudly conspire, accelerating their efforts to dismantle the remnants of the Golden Wings Pavilion Branch.
