Bite the Bait

Chen Fan himself did not bear much hatred toward Zhan Jianming.

But after so much had happened, he and Zhan Jianming had already been pushed into completely opposing positions.

Naturally, he wanted to settle this trouble as soon as possible.

Yet Chen Fan did not dare claim that this operation would definitely lure Zhan Jianming into making a move.

After all, judging by Zhan Jianming's actions—having his subordinates come to purchase such pills—it was clear that his mindset had changed.

Rather than saying Chen Fan intended to use himself as bait to eliminate the trouble of Zhan Jianming, it would be more accurate to say that he wanted to use this opportunity to test Zhan Jianming's attitude.

This time, Chen Fan did not activate Little Butterfly when he left. Instead, his avatar traveled outside at the flight speed of an ordinary tenth-level martial artist, leisurely making his way toward Canghai City. He had also intended to return to Cloudrise Mountain to see how Lingyun Sect had developed.

After leaving the Sword Sect, his powerful divine sense quickly detected a faint but persistent feeling of being watched.

"Sure enough, a fish has taken the bait!"

Chen Fan felt a subtle stir in his heart, but he pretended not to notice. Only after he had put enough distance between himself and the Sword Sect did he stop.

He looked at the empty space behind him. "How much longer do you intend to follow me?"

His resonant voice spread through the surrounding area along with the heaven-and-earth essence.

"Heh heh..."

A cold, sinister laugh rang out from the void. "Worthy of being a Sword Sect true disciple. Your senses are remarkably sharp."

Black mist spread and flickered, gradually condensing into a human figure.

Black smoke swirled around the man, completely concealing his face!
