Having said this, Xu Fan smiled and said, "We'll be having a guest shortly."

"Ah?"

After hearing this, Mu Qingyan was even more confused.

If Xu Fan had brought friends over, shouldn't they have come in together just now?

"Yeah, I'll go now."

Not wanting to go against Xu Fan's wishes, Mu Qingyan nodded obediently and made her way to the kitchen.

Once Mu Qingyan turned and left, Xu Fan's eyes gleamed with a golden light as he looked towards the door and said, "Friend, since you have followed me this far, there's no need to hide outside any longer, is there?"

I have to admire that, thought Xu Fan. Despite speeding all the way here, this guy managed to follow me like a mad dog without losing sight of me.

Xu Fan called out toward the main entrance and, as Mu Qingyan came over with the tea, the tightly shut door creaked open.

"This..."

Mu Qingyan stood by Xu Fan's side, and now seeing the man dressed in bizarre attire, her face couldn't help but show some fear.

Was it her intuition messing with her? She felt that this guy didn't seem like a friend.

"Sit down."

As the man with the cold face approached, Xu Fan slightly smiled and gestured for him to sit down across from himself.

The visitor, who had been extremely careful to conceal his tracks, found it inconceivable that he had been noticed by Xu Fan.

Cautious not take any rash actions, he watched Xu Fan carefully and sat down across from him.

"Have some tea."

Xu Fan said this and pushed the tea, which Qingyan had poured, across to the man.

Uncertain whether the tea had been tampered with, the man didn't even glance at it before coldly looking at Xu Fan and said, "Hmph, why should I listen to you?"

Smack!

As soon as those words fell, Xu Fan's face violently changed! He raised his palm swiftly, and like a thunderclap coming too quickly to cover one's ears, he slapped the man across the face.

"I told you to drink. Didn't you understand me?"

"You!"

Coming so suddenly, the man was caught completely off guard and nearly suffered a concussion from the slap.

Anger seething in his eyes, he instinctively stood up.

"Despicable brat, today, I'll make sure you die!"

After retreating a few swift steps, the man took out a short flute from his sleeve and began to play rapidly. Soon, a chilling scene unfolded before their eyes.

Rat-a-tat-tat!

As the man played his flute, one could hear the rustling sounds of footsteps. Mu Qingyan looked towards the sound, her face instantly drained of color.

Under the influence of his flute playing, the windows around them filled with venomous insects, a dense mass that obscured the outside view.

Moments later, they were quickly crawling into the room through the crevices.

Hiss, hiss, hiss!

In an instant, the room was surrounded by a circle of poisonous scorpions, snakes, and insects, trapping Xu Fan and Mu Qingyan in the middle.

It seemed as though the venomous horde was affected by the flute's song, their eyes now gleaming viciously with clear intent to kill!

"Xu Fan, this..."

This was exactly what women feared most, not to mention the present terrifying scenario. Mu Qingyan, looking terrified, moved closer to Xu Fan.

"Qingyan, don't be afraid."

Xu Fan reassured Mu Qingyan with a comforting smile and then turned his gaze back to the man.

"Do you really think that these insects pose any threat to me?"

No sooner had the words left his mouth than Xu Fan summoned a breath of True Qi and struck out with a palm, unleashing a visible Vigorous Qi! It shot towards the swarm like an arrow!

With a thunderous boom, the palm Qi pierced an Overlord Snake, Inner Strength dispersing, and a black mass of poison insects burst into dust!

Even under the influence of this overbearing Vigorous Qi, countless poison insects flew out and smashed against the wall, immediately losing their ability to move.

"This..."

The sound of the flute ceased, and the person holding the flute watched the dreadful scene of insects they had drawn forth from the outside, their face turning pale with fear.

Innate Internal Strength, this guy, he's actually a master who stepped into the Innate Realm?

Filled with fear, they began to retreat, looking at Xu Fan as if staring at the grim reaper.

"Below the Innate Realm, all are mere ants. Do you think, with your little Insect Expelling Technique, you can bridge the gap between you and me?"

This guy's strength was just a step away from the Innate Realm, Xu Fan stated without exaggeration, feeling that if he wanted, he could pierce the other's chest with a single palm.

Seeing the vigilant expression on the other's face, Xu Fan chuckled and said, "Hmm? Are you going to try using your Gu insects again? Or will you obediently sit down for me?"

As he spoke, the Jade Silkworm slithered out from within Xu Fan's sleeve.

"Jade... Jade Silkworm, how, how did you get it? It's the Heavenly Witch Sect's most precious treasure!"

Indeed, just as Xu Fan said, at this moment, the other was indeed planning to cast Gu on him when he was unguarded.

But upon seeing the Jade Silkworm with Xu Fan, their face instantly turned to despair.

The most formidable Gu insects would only end up as food for the Jade Silkworm.

With their own strength, it was impossible to defeat somebody of the Innate level, and now, with the Jade Silkworm present, it was even more hopeless.

Looking at Xu Fan with a face as gray as death, they took a seat obediently in front of him.

"Hehe, dressed so conspicuously, are you afraid that others won't notice you?"

Now utterly frightened, Xu Fan looked at the other's attire and couldn't help but mutter to himself.

"Did Ana let you come here?"

Considering this, Xu Fan decided to extract some information about the Heavenly Witch Sect from the other and started inquiring.

"It would be best if you returned the Jade Silkworm to the Heavenly Witch Sect."

However, instead of answering Xu Fan's questions, the other seriously demanded the return of the Jade Silkworm.

"..."

Seeing him like this, it appeared that the Jade Silkworm gifted by his godmother had a significant connection with the Heavenly Witch Sect.

"Do you think you are in any position to make demands of me right now?"

To kill, to save lives, to remove Gu, the Jade Silkworm was indeed a treasure, yet this guy, where did he get the right to make demands of him?

"Hmph, don't think that with such cultivation level, the Heavenly Witch Sect will be afraid of you. If you do not heed my request, you'll be making an enemy of the entire Heavenly Witch Sect..."

Smack!

Even facing death, he didn't forget to act tough, which was quite annoying to Xu Fan, who stood up and slapped the man across the face.

"All this about Heavenly Witch, Tian Liu, and such, big brother, don't you know that showing off like this will bring divine retribution?"

"You!"

The insult blazed anger in the other's eyes, who suddenly, in a reckless, life-forsaking manner, lunged at Xu Fan!

"Seeking death..."

Xu Fan found the other's desperate resistance laughable.

With a cold snort, a streak of white emanated from his mouth, a sword-thrust heading straight for the other!

With a resounding boom!! Qi Force exploded! Like a giant hammer, it struck the man's chest before he could even get close to Xu Fan's body. The whole person flew out like a kite with a broken string...
