431: Chapter 431 The Mastermind Behind the Scenes: Yunyang!

After posting this news,

Li Fan logged off contentedly.

That's right.

Since the geniuses from Spirit Ruins had already targeted him indiscriminately,

he naturally responded in a high-profile manner.

Let them come!

And this message was primarily aimed at the person who was scheming against him behind the scenes.

Didn't that person want him to become the target of public criticism?

Fine! I'll grant his wish!

When Li Fan sweeps over everyone, I'll see what kind of expression this person has and how they will target him next.

As long as this person targets Li Fan enough times, they will eventually reveal their true colors!

At that time, Li Fan will definitely make this person pay!

"Brother Fan, you finished so quickly?"

"It's good that you clarified it, very good that you clarified it."

Golden Flash Bear and Wu Chen showed satisfied smiles when they saw Li Fan exit the virtual network.

However, Jiang Yunxu, who was nearby, opened the forum, read Li Fan's message, and then looked sharply at Li Fan, frowning deeply, "Li Fan, aren't you being a bit too arrogant right now?"

Hearing Jiang Yunxu's words, Golden Flash Bear and Wu Chen were slightly stunned.

Too arrogant?

What did that mean?

Afterward, the two of them quickly opened the forum to read Li Fan's message.

As soon as they finished reading, their faces instantly changed dramatically, and they subconsciously swallowed their saliva.

This wasn't a clarification at all!

This was clearly a declaration of war!

"You know, this has always been my style."

Li Fan looked at Jiang Yunxu and smiled faintly.

Jiang Yunxu paused for a few seconds, then couldn't help but laugh as well.

Indeed, Li Fan's style was exactly like this back when he was in Wushan Seat.

This was very Li Fan!

"If you need any help, call me anytime, although I might not be able to help much..."

Jiang Yunxu said calmly.

Before he could finish speaking, Li Fan interrupted him.

"No need for help. I'm enough to deal with these guys!"

Li Fan waved his hand, looking extremely relaxed, showing no trace of pressure.

"You all go back first. Don't worry about me. I wasn't on vacation these past few months."

Li Fan then looked towards Golden Flash Bear and Wu Chen at the side and said with a smile.

Hearing Li Fan's words, the two hesitated, wanting to speak but holding back, and finally decided to listen to Li Fan and leave first.

Now that Li Fan's message was sent out, the die was cast; there was no turning back.

Anything more they said was meaningless.

Moreover, they knew Li Fan's character; words spoken would not be taken back.

Now, they could only choose to trust Li Fan.

...

On the other side.

On the forum,

Li Fan's response quickly caused a huge uproar.

In less than an hour,

it garnered tens of billions of views and was still surging rapidly.

"Good heavens! Li Fan responded!"

"Hiss! How arrogant, beating everyone? Is this the real Li Fan, or another attention-seeking imposter?"

"I'll be damned! This is quite arrogant! But looking at the style, it seems similar to that previous imposter—both are extremely conceited. This is likely another imposter!"

"Indeed, I don't believe the real Li Fan would dare to say such things. If I were Li Fan, I definitely wouldn't say it."

"Hold on, guys, this seems to be the real Li Fan! Look at the verification mark from Cosmic Cloud Headquarters intentionally left on his homepage!"

"Holy crap! It is the real Li Fan?"

"Amazing! It's actually the real Li Fan, but isn't he being too arrogant? A mere country bumpkin genius from Outer Seat Domain, does he really have that kind of strength?"

...

At this moment,

the discussion threads about Li Fan on the forum had already exceeded ten billion and were heading towards a hundred billion.

Originally, everyone thought it was just another imposter.

Who knew it was actually Li Fan himself!

If that was the case,

things were about to get really interesting!

The fake gossip had instantly turned into real news!

And soon,

this news quickly reached the ears of the geniuses at Lingxu Company.

The spaceship carrying the Lingxu Company members was filled entirely with contempt, ridicule, and anger toward Li Fan.

Many prodigies who originally knew nothing about Li Fan's situation also developed disgust toward him after seeing his message, preparing to test Li Fan's strength thoroughly at the Hunting Assembly.

Among them,

the one feeling the greatest disgust was Di Chuan.

He could be arrogant himself, but he couldn't stand others being arrogant, especially if the other party was weaker than him.

"Li Fan, is it? I'm already looking forward to meeting you in the hunting grounds!"

Di Chuan narrowed his eyes, his voice low, a cold shadow crossing his face.

...

As for Li Fan,

due to that message on the forum, he had now become the most discussed genius for this Hunting Assembly.

However, Li Fan himself seemed completely unconcerned about it.

In the lounge,

Li Fan was still lying on the rattan chair, leisurely watching the galaxy outside while sipping fine wine, extremely comfortable.

And in another lounge on the spaceship,

"That reckless youth Li Fan really fell for the bait!"

"This time we have Di Chuan, a monster who has comprehended four strands of Law Power! No matter how strong Li Fan is, he can't possibly be his match. Just wait for Li Fan to be eliminated from this Hunting Assembly!"

"Daring to provoke me, Xu Yuntong, is definitely the most mistaken thing you've ever done in your life!"

The person speaking was Xu Yuntong!

At this moment, Xu Yuntong was laughing cheerfully, a look of triumph plastered on his face.

From his words, it could be discerned that

this Xu Yuntong was the mastermind behind the scenes!

Actually, initially, he was a bit hesitant to provoke Li Fan.

But unfortunately, while those people were digging up Li Fan's information, the matter of him being severely beaten by Li Fan was also dug up.

This caused him to become a laughingstock prematurely, before he could even shine brightly at the Hunting Assembly.

Many juniors in his family were now mocking him.

Some friends who originally knew nothing about these matters would often bring it up to tease him when talking to him, which made him extremely uncomfortable.

The bullet that Li Fan hit him with when beating him was still lingering even now!

Thus,

his clever little brain came up with this scheme!

Originally, he just wanted to annoy Li Fan and see if Li Fan would take the bait.

He never expected Li Fan to actually act exactly as he predicted, being ridiculously arrogant and posting that thread directly!

Now,

he just needed to wait quietly for the video of Li Fan being ganged up on and beaten by Di Chuan and the Lingxu prodigies to come out.

He certainly had no chance of defeating Li Fan,

but watching Li Fan get beaten up by others was also a form of enjoyment.

Just as Xu Yuntong was cheering internally, a knock sounded at the door.

Hearing this, Xu Yuntong immediately suppressed his smile, and his expression became solemn.

"Was I discovered?"

"It shouldn't be. Li Fan doesn't have the ability to follow the clues and find me out."

Xu Yuntong, slightly worried, quickly regained his composure.

Li Fan's strength was formidable, he admitted that,

but ultimately, he was just someone from Outer Seat Domain; Li Fan simply didn't have the means to investigate.

At least, not this quickly.

Then, the guilty Xu Yuntong opened the door.

"Yun Yang?!"

As the door opened, Xu Yuntong's face showed surprise.

Because the person before him was actually Yun Yang!

However, he and Yun Yang didn't seem to have much interaction, did they?

Before Xu Yuntong could ponder further,

Yun Yang immediately lifted his knee and kicked him in the abdomen.

The intense pain caused Xu Yuntong to collapse to the ground, curling up like a shrimp.

Immediately following that, Yun Yang grabbed Xu Yuntong and dragged him toward Li Fan's lounge.

"Yun Yang! What is the meaning of this?!"

Xu Yuntong endured the pain and gritted his teeth, letting out a low shout.

He struggled constantly, but Yun Yang's strength was far superior; he couldn't break free at all.

"Don't you know what you did yourself?"

"If Li Fan can't investigate, I can. It's just a matter of saying a word."

Yun Yang spoke faintly, his face showing no emotion.

Upon hearing this,

Xu Yuntong's face drastically changed.
