Top-tier Unruly Master

Watching the two Ghost Warriors actually running away directly, the Lantern who was hiding by Ding Fan's side, already terrified and trembling like a sieve, ended up gaping.

Just now, those two people were no more than a dozen meters away from him. At that distance, there was no cover at all; if they had merely looked up, they would have seen him.

What astonished Lantern was that the two Ghost Warriors, as though blind, didn't notice him standing just ten meters away—they looked right past him...

"We should run quickly. If we get caught by these people, they will definitely kill us," Lantern stated, trying to steady his nerves.

Lantern had only just managed to escape from Changsheng, and even now, he held a deep reverence for the Ghost Warriors. Right now, all he wanted was to make a run for it and leave this place as fast as possible.

"If you want to die, you can go now. I won't stop you," Ding Fan said, his tone nonchalant.

Lantern glanced at Ding Fan and, after pondering for a moment, shut his mouth and said nothing more.

There was a quality about Ding Fan that made people trust him easily.

Given that the two Ghost Warriors just now hadn't spotted them, Lantern decided to place his bets on Ding Fan this one time.

The three of them remained silent, and about ten minutes later, a gust of wind swept by and two figures once again appeared above the Arena where Ding Fan and Lantern had previously clashed.

Seeing the two Ghost Warriors return, Lantern felt a chill creep up his spine.

If he hadn't listened to Ding Fan just before, he feared he would really be in trouble now; the enemy would surely have captured him, and there would be no escape.

"That kid is definitely not here," said the stocky man as he looked around indifferently.

"I didn't expect that man from Korea to be such a good runner. His martial skills aren't much to speak of, but his speed at fleeing is truly first-class," the lean, tall one remarked.

The stocky man pondered for a moment, then as if he realized something, said, "That kid must be around here somewhere!"

Hearing this from the stocky man, Lantern who was hiding next to Ding Fan nearly wet himself from fear. Right then, he dared not utter a word and sat motionless, not even daring to take a deep breath.

After hearing the stocky man's words, the lean tall one thought for a moment, then nodded in agreement. "That woman you were with from Korea, with no cultivation whatsoever and who hasn't received any Martial Skills training, it doesn't seem likely she could've run off far in such a short time..."

The stocky man nodded. "That's exactly the situation. I think, that Korean must've found somewhere nearby to hide."

The lean tall one nodded as well.

The stocky man thought for a moment. "I'm going back now to report the situation here to our lord. You go guard the mountain pass ahead; it's the only way in and out of Changsheng. As long as you keep it secure, I believe neither that Korean nor the woman will be able to escape."

"Alright..." The lean and tall one had no objections to the stocky man's suggestion and readily nodded in agreement.

After a brief discussion, the two split up and went their separate ways.

"This time, those two really left," Mei Xian, who seldom spoke, whispered into Ding Fan's ear.

"Yeah, let's go now," Lantern also said from the side.

By now, not just Mei Xian but also Lantern had come to view Ding Fan as their pillar of strength; at this moment, anything that came up, they could only discuss it with Ding Fan.

"You heard them just now; they already have someone guarding the exit. It's impossible to escape now," Ding Fan said calmly.

All Lantern's facial features seemed to squeeze together with worry. "What should we do now? If this keeps up, I will surely be trapped to death here. I still have children at home..."

"Shut your mouth!" Ding Fan said, his voice full of severity.

Lantern had been complaining, but at Ding Fan's sharp reprimand, he immediately clammed up.

Ding Fan looked at Lantern and then at Mei Xian. "If you two still want to get out of here, tell me everything about why you ended up here and the whole backstory."

"As long as we can get out, I'll tell you anything you want to know..." Lantern said, eager to speak.

"Go on."

Lantern said, "Actually, I'm just a boxer of Korean boxing, and over the years I've heard that Huaxia Country is a good place to make money, so I planned to come here to strike it rich. I thought I'd open thirty or forty taekwondo clubs here. In the process, I met Mei Xian..."

Lantern looked at Mei Xian as he said this, but she had no intention of paying him any attention, so he continued.

"Mei Xian is a postgraduate, and we met at a friend's gathering. She's very beautiful, and I took the initiative to make contact with her. When I found out she was very fond of Korean culture, I helped her immigrate and even arranged for her to get Korean citizenship."

Ding Fan nodded, signaling Lantern to continue.

"After the citizenship was sorted, our Korean Fist Club was preparing for an expedition, which was mainly for mental training. I'd heard that Changsheng was a place where a Fox Immortal was rumored to roam. I wanted to bring people here to see for myself, but before we reached Changsheng, Mei Xian said it was dangerous.

At that time, no one took Mei Xian seriously, thinking she was just being superstitious. But then, two Ghost Warriors appeared. Those two were incredibly formidable. At first, the members of our Korean Fist Fighting Club were unwilling to submit, but after confronting them, we were quickly brought down."

Lantern sighed. "Later, the people from our Korean Fist Club were brought to a stone house. Since we were all unconscious by then, we still don't know how we entered that stone house to this day."

Ding Fan contemplated for a moment, then asked, "If you don't know the way in, how did you manage to escape?"

Lantern hesitantly glanced at Mei Xian. "We owe our escape to Mei Xian. She has a special ability; she is extremely sensitive to danger and can even imagine events happening within several miles around her in her mind."

Having heard Lantern's story, Ding Fan nodded in acknowledgement. He was dealing with someone who had been born with an extraordinary Divine Sense.

Such a person not practicing Cultivation would be a waste of resources. After all, Divine Sense is too important to the practice of Cultivation.
