My Arrogant Young Lady

Seeing that I had only waved my jade flute once, Wang Huan immediately dropped his sword and surrendered. In an instant, the entire martial arts tournament erupted in cheers again. "As expected of a master cultivator! He can kill with a flick of his finger. Amazing!"

"Wang Xi, the heir of the Wang family. Did he really make a move?" Qinglong couldn't help but frown.

“Yes, he used a formation called the Six Ding Six Jia Formation. It’s a formation that the Chinese people evolved from a formation they copied from Korea. To this day, very few people know how to use this ancient formation. This Wang Xi is too arrogant. Since becoming a master cultivator, he’s even too lazy to put his hands to work,” Li Bihui said.

"Princess, you've fought Wang Xi before. How strong is he now?" Baihu asked.

"To be able to transform one's aura into a true dragon, one must be a true master of immortal cultivation. Perhaps only the Heavenly Demon King in this world can rival Wang Xi. Xuanwu, have you informed the Heavenly Demon King yet? When will they arrive?" Li Bihui asked.

"Tomorrow morning, my Aurora team will work together with Wang Yu's unit to welcome the arrival of Lord Heavenly Demon King," Li Bihui said.

“Mr. Wang Yang, we have obtained the exact whereabouts of the Aurora Gang. Currently, all of Aurora's forces in China are gathering in this ancient town in Jiangnan. Meanwhile, Prince Li Zaijian and the Six Heavenly Demons in Europe have all disappeared; they should already be on their way to the Martial Arts Conference. Tomorrow, our Interpol, in conjunction with the Divine Group, will strike Aurora. The Chinese police force is sufficient to deal with Aurora; your army cannot be deployed within China.” Wesley and Chi You, among others, discussed this quietly with Wang Yang on the high platform of the Martial Arts Committee.

“I know your rules. My army will be waiting for them overseas. If Oda Seiji arrives tomorrow, we will work together to wipe them out in one fell swoop,” Wang Yang said.

“Mr. Wang Yang, I hope we can eliminate Oda Seiji this time,” Wesley said.

"Definitely." Wang Yang nodded gently.

"Please welcome the seventh prince of the Wang family, Wang Yu, and the lucky Lin Fan, to compete!" After Wang Huan and I had determined our victory, the host loudly announced the names of Wang Yu and Lin Fan.

"A top-tier god-level expert?" Upon appearing on the stage, Wang Yu looked at Lin Fan opposite him with little interest.

Standing opposite Wang Yu was Lin Fan, of medium height and handsome appearance. Dressed in sportswear, he looked like an ordinary college student. Yet, this unknown figure, with no background or family support, had somehow managed to reach the top four of the martial arts tournament and earn the right to face Wang Yu.

Those who can make it to the top four, or even the top thirty-two in the martial arts tournament, are no ordinary people. Wang Yu is an exceptional individual. Although he is a born martial arts fanatic, he is also incredibly shrewd.

Wang Yu would not make the mistake of underestimating his opponent. He would also not give Lin Fan the chance to defeat him through luck.

He glanced coldly at Lin Fan. Immediately, a thick black aura emanated from Wang Yu. Then, a gigantic black dragon roared at Lin Fan amidst this aura. At the same time, Wang Yu slowly raised his arm, opening his palm towards Lin Fan. At that moment, a massive beam of black light erupted from Wang Yu's hand.

Above all the gods, true energy emanated outwards. As the black light intensified, Wang Yu couldn't help but sneer, "A superior god-level expert. Die!"

Wang Yu is a master of the Heartbeat level, the only one of his kind among the younger generation. Among the masters of his generation, he believes that apart from Wang Xi and Nie Xiaohai, no one can rival him, and Lin Fan, who only made it to the top four by luck, is not qualified to fight him.

A massive black light enveloped the entire arena. Everyone felt Wang Yu's powerful true energy rapidly retreating. Then, the black light intensified again, centered on Wang Yu, simultaneously covering a fifty-meter radius around the arena.

"Good boy, get ready to save him. If Lin Fan is really a top-tier god-level expert, he will definitely be seriously injured because of this," Wang Yang said.

"Okay." The good boy nodded quickly.

As the black light dissipated, Xiao Haoren had already led his men to prepare to rescue Lin Fan. However, when the black light disappeared, everyone was deeply shocked.

They saw Lin Fan disappear from the arena. Only Wang Yu remained. Suddenly, Lin Fan emerged from under the arena, then patted his chest with a sigh of relief and said, "Luckily I hid underground, otherwise I would have been killed by Wang Yu's true energy."

"You actually dug a hole and hid under the arena?" Wang Yu exclaimed in surprise.

"Yeah, just dug it up." Lin Fan grinned mischievously.

"Bastard!" Wang Yu was furious that Lin Fan had actually tricked him. He then quickly disappeared and reappeared in front of Lin Fan.

With a swift chop, he slashed heavily towards Lin Fan.

"Don't underestimate me, I'm not bad looking to make it into the top four!" Seeing Wang Yu charging towards him with a massive cloud of black energy, Lin Fan grabbed Wang Yu's wrist and quickly hooked his other foot behind Wang Yu's. Then, with a swift throw, he sent Wang Yu's body hurtling away.

"Wang Yu, he was actually thrown out by Lin Fan?" Everyone was even more surprised to see this.

Wang Yu, a master of the Heartbeat level, never dreamed that Lin Fan would throw him out with a simple over-the-shoulder throw. Moreover, he flew off the stage; if he landed, he would lose. Thinking of this, Wang Yu flew into a rage again, quickly drawing his longsword and then, the instant he landed, sharply tapping the ground with the tip of the sword. As the sword tip lightly grazed the ground, Wang Yu was sent flying back towards the stage.

At that moment, Lin Fan immediately unleashed a handful of hidden weapons and shouted, "Take this!"

As countless iron darts flew towards Wang Yu, he immediately swiftly swung his sword to defend himself. However, people need to use leverage to fly; those who can fly in the air without leverage are immortals.

As soon as Wang Yu blocked the iron dart thrown by Lin Fan, he immediately felt a solid, solid impact. Looking down at the ground, his face turned ashen.

"Luck King Lin Fan wins! The battle of the world's number one masters: Wang Xi, the heir of the Wang family, versus Luck King Lin Fan!" When the host announced the result of the match, everyone couldn't help but stand up.

Wang Yang looked at Lin Fan with a solemn expression and said, "The moment Lin Fan threw Wang Yu out, his strength was definitely above the Heartbeat level. An Yao, this time you will investigate Lin Fan's background. You, take the experts from my Wang family and everyone from the Divine Group to investigate Lin Fan's background. You must find out who this Lin Fan really is!"

Chapter 361 Investigation

Compared to the bustling ancient towns of Jiangnan, a small town two hundred kilometers away was remarkably quiet. It was secluded, tranquil, and far removed from the hustle and bustle. In the town, a group of young people were strolling leisurely. It was already mid-October, and the town was sparsely populated. After wandering around for a while, the group of young people seemed bored. Then, they looked at a shop and went inside. "Old Liu," one of them said, "shouldn't you be paying your protection money by now?"

"What? You want protection money again? I just gave it to Xiao Song and his gang yesterday, and you're asking for it again today. Who exactly is the boss of this town?" Old Liu's face changed upon hearing the young man's words.

A year ago, there was only one boss in this town, Liu Xiaodong. After Liu Xiaodong was taken away by a group of young men speaking Korean and possessing exceptional martial arts skills, the town began to descend into chaos. The south was wealthy, and Liu Xiaodong owned several factories outside the town, making him quite rich. Bullying ordinary people was something Liu Xiaodong disdained. Instead, he treated the townspeople with great kindness. Occasionally, when he had free time, he would take his men to town for tea and massages. If they encountered beggars, he would ask them to recite a short story; if they did well, he would reward them with several hundred-yuan bills.

But after Liu Xiaodong was arrested, a group of young people rose up in the town. These young men were constantly causing trouble, and since they had no other way to make money, they started bullying the town's shop owners. Having watched a few gangster movies, they euphemistically called it collecting protection money.

Those people didn't ask for much money, and they were all children. To avoid trouble, we just gave them the money. However, these groups were roughly equal in strength, and none could completely dominate the others. One group would come asking for protection money today, and another would come asking for some tomorrow. It felt like someone was always trying to get cigarettes from your pocket, having money of their own but not buying any themselves, just asking for one after another. After a while, it became increasingly annoying.

"Old Liu, what do you mean? You think Xiao Song's gang is tougher, but we're not? Damn it, give us the money!" Seeing Old Liu scolding them like an elder, the leader of the youths grabbed things from the table and smashed them. Then the group of youths robbed Old Liu of several hundred yuan and ran away.

"What a mess!" Because there were too many troublemakers, the police simply couldn't catch them all. Even if they did, since their crimes weren't serious, they'd only be detained for a few days before being released. Watching this cycle repeat itself for over a year, Old Liu cried out in despair.

"Brother, that old Liu is up to no good. If he doesn't give us money next time, beat him until he behaves." The group of young men said as they strolled out of the shop.

"Heh, not bad." The young man in the lead lit a cigarette, then tilted his head back and exhaled a wisp of smoke into the sky. At that moment, his eyes gleamed with arrogance.

However, just as he finished exhaling his cigarette, an SUV suddenly came speeding by and slammed into him, throwing him to the ground. They never expected their boss to be hit by a car. His henchmen immediately drew their weapons and glared fiercely at the vehicle.

At the same time, one SUV after another pulled up and stopped in front of them. There were more than a dozen vehicles in total, and the young men's expressions changed when they saw the Jeep Wranglers parked in front of them.

"Robbery?" A stunningly beautiful girl stepped out of the first car, her eyes icy cold, her entire body radiating a chilling aura.

The girl wasn't seriously injured in the car accident; she was just startled. After glancing at the driver, she immediately started cursing, "Savra!" With that, she pulled out a baton and charged at the girl.

As the gang leader charged at the girl, many people got out of the dozen or so cars. A glance at the baton in the gang leader's hand revealed mocking expressions in many of their eyes.

The girl sneered, looking disdainfully at the gang leader who was running closer and closer. Just as the gang leader's baton was about to hit her, the girl grabbed the gang leader's hand and gently twisted it.

With a snap, the eldest brother immediately screamed in pain.

"Kneel down!" A young man with equally cold eyes and an aura of coldness pulled out a pistol.

"Trying to scare me? I don't believe your gun is real..." The leader's face twisted and his body contorted with rage as he glanced at the young man's pistol.

With a snap, the young man immediately knelt on the ground. Then, smiling, he pulled out a photograph. "Lin Fan, do you recognize him?"

"Lin Fan? Isn't that my junior high classmate?" Upon hearing the name and glancing at the handsome young man in the photo, the eldest brother exclaimed in surprise.

"You're not allowed to rob me." A naive and cute girl was searched by the gang leader, who then found the money he had just stolen and disappeared into thin air.

The gang leader's expression darkened further as he glanced at the vanished girl. "A god-level expert?"

"Heh, you're quite knowledgeable." A girl in a police uniform walked over and looked at him coldly.

This group consisted of An Yao, Wang You, Liu Li, Bi Fang, and everyone in the Divine Group. After Wang Yang sent them to investigate Lin Fan's identity, they immediately drove over. An Yao and Wang You were both extremely intelligent individuals; the Divine Group was not only the guardian of China, but each member was also a master of criminal investigation.

Two minutes later, police officers from the local police station arrived quickly. An Yao twisted the young man's hand and took him into the local police station.

Glancing at the aura of power emanating from these young men, the youth finally realized he had met his match. God-level masters—this was common knowledge now. Every petty thug idolized those at the god-level or higher, yearning to possess kung fu and become a renowned martial artist.

"Interrogation is my forte. Just hand this kid over to me for questioning." Lei Zhenzi from the Divine Group lit a cigarette and then quickly shone an LED desk lamp on the young man's face. "What's your relationship with Lin Fan?"

"A classmate from junior high school," the young man said.

"Classmates? Are you familiar with them?" Lei Zhenzi asked sternly.

"We seem quite familiar." He thought to himself that Lin Fan might have committed a crime. He himself had just been robbed and then arrested by a group of police officers. At that moment, the young man answered all his questions without hesitation.

"When was the last time you contacted him? Who else is closer to Lin Fan?" Lei Zhenzi asked.

"The last time was about half a year ago, at a class reunion... I think it was Chen Xiao, who was quite familiar with Lin Fan?" the young man said after thinking for a moment.

"Where is Chen Xiao now? Find a way to bring her here," Lei Zhenzi said.

“Okay…” The young man was not familiar with Chen Xiao, but after thinking about Ding Ruolin, who had a good relationship with Chen Xiao, he immediately picked up the phone.

“An Yao, I heard there’s an ancient tomb that was struck by lightning not far outside the town. Leng Yan, Xiao Haoren, and the people from the God Group have already been there once. Liu Li, Zhou Yu, and a few people from the God Group will go again. I’ll leave the task of finding out who’s connected to Lin Fan here to you,” Wang You said to An Yao.

"Okay." An Yao nodded gently.

As darkness fell, a large crowd had gathered at the town's police station. The arrival of the Divine Group had drawn even a high-ranking police official from the provincial capital. Watching the Divine Group members busily at work, the official couldn't help but sweat. With the Divine Group personally involved, this case was likely no small matter.

Without even having time to eat, the God Group, An Yao, Wang You, and Liu Li immediately gathered together to share the intelligence they had gathered.

“There’s nothing wrong with that ancient tomb. It’s just an ordinary ancient tomb,” Wang You said.

Holding a thick stack of notes, Lei Zhenzi lit a cigarette and selected the useful information, saying, "Lin Fan, an orphan without parents. His adoptive parents are ordinary people who make a living by farming in a rural area ten miles from the town. Because his family owns a lot of land, Lin Fan has always had a good life. He's handsome and has an ambiguous relationship with a female classmate named Chen Xiao. According to Chen Xiao, Lin Fan suddenly became abnormal twenty days ago. Then he lost contact with her and hasn't called her since."

"Lin Fan, he's at the martial arts tournament. Tomorrow he'll have a final battle with my brother to compete for the title of the world's number one." An Yao frowned slightly.

"Are he and Chen Xiao lovers?" Wang You asked, tapping the table lightly with her index finger.

"Yes, he is my boyfriend. But we're not officially together yet!" A pretty girl suddenly walked in from outside the door.

When the pretty girl walked in, worry immediately appeared in her eyes. She then said to Wang You, An Yao, and the members of the Divine Group, "The reason we're not together is because we made a promise. When he confessed to me, I told him that if he could wait for me for a year, we would be together. Now, our promise is about to expire in a month. He likes me, and I like him too. The reason I haven't agreed to be with him is just to test him. I'm a romantic girl, and I hope he can pursue me in a romantic way. I really like him, and I've been so worried about him these past twenty days. Please, you must help me find him."

"There aren't many people this romantic these days..." Lei Zhenzi couldn't help but smile bitterly after hearing the girl's words.

"Please, please help me find him. I'm done playing around, I'm done teasing him. If you can help me find him, I'll tell you everything I know," the girl said earnestly, looking at everyone.

"The fact that Lin Fan could wait a year for this girl shows how much he loves her. Even if he participated in the martial arts tournament, he still had time to contact her. Could it be that the person who participated in the martial arts tournament wasn't Lin Fan?" Wang You pondered.

"Go to Lin Fan's house!" Upon hearing Wang You's words, Chi You made a decisive decision.

After An Yao, Wang You, Liu Li, and the members of the Divine Group entered Lin Fan's house, one of the Divine Group members picked up Lin Fan's clothes and let several police dogs sniff them. Then, the Divine Group member immediately pointed and shouted, "Go!"

A few barks were heard, and the police dogs quickly ran out of the house, sniffing around outside as they made their way to the road leading from the village to the town. When the dogs reached a field, they rushed over and began pawing at it. When An Yao and the members of the Divine Group saw this, their expressions changed drastically.

Chen Xiao seemed to understand something too. She suddenly knelt on the ground, covered her face, and burst into tears…

Chapter 362 The Siege of Aurora

"The person on the stage must be the murderer who killed Lin Fan."

The atmosphere in the meeting room was oppressive, and everyone's face was heavy with worry. Chi You lit a cigarette, his expression extremely grim.

After Chi You finished speaking, the conference room remained silent for a long time without anyone answering him. Suddenly, Bi Fang slammed his fist on the table, then picked up his pistol and said, "I'm going to bring that imposter to justice!"

The real Lin Fan was dead, even though they had never met him. But seeing the girl crying, An Yao, Wang You, Liu Li, and everyone in the God Group felt terrible.

Upholding justice is the responsibility of their divine group. Thinking of Lin Fan's death, Bi Fang couldn't help but want to arrest Lin Fan at the martial arts tournament.

"Wait a minute!" An Yao suddenly called out to her.

"An Yao. What are you going to do?" Bi Fang turned to look at her.

An Yao's eyes were cold, and her brows furrowed slightly. Glancing at the time on her phone, she said to Bi Fang, "It's 10 PM now. There are eleven hours until the final battle tomorrow morning. The Lin Fan in the martial arts tournament isn't the real Lin Fan. Therefore, he's not qualified to participate. What we need to do now isn't to go back and arrest that fake Lin Fan, but to wipe out Oda Seiji and his men in one fell swoop. Murder, drug trafficking, human trafficking, robbery—ever since Oda Seiji's men have turned our Chinese martial arts world into their gold mine, they've been constantly raking in money through various means. And Lin Fan is just one of countless innocent victims in the past year."

"Even if we catch the fake Lin Fan and clear the name of the real Lin Fan, what about the thousands upon thousands of other 'Lin Fans'? What about their grievances? What we need to do now is not to alert the enemy, but at the same time, to find out who this fake Lin Fan really is. You should remember that he defeated Wang Yu."

“Wang Yu is the most talented young person in the world. Even Wang Yang, Leng Yan, and Nie Feilong might not be able to defeat him easily. An Yao, do you mean that the fake Lin Fan might be…” Chi You frowned and looked at An Yao.
