The rumours ca in once again and it was about what had happened yesterday.
Tang Chen had disappeared.
It wasn't that he had suddenly disappeared, but rather that he was taken away early in the morning.
Tang Chen was one of the inner sect disciples of the Martial Might Sect, so he was soone who was rather well known in the Martial Might Sect.
So when the disciples from the Law Enforcent Departnt suddenly arrived at Tang Chen's courtyard to take him away, it was witnessed by many people. With the way that they had carried Tang Chen out, it was almost as if they wanted everyone to see Tang Chen being taken away like this.
With how public it was, the rumours quickly spread that Tang Chen had been removed by the Law Enforcent Departnt for different reasons.
But the prevailing reason was that it was related to the Love Sect.
After what had happened yesterday between Tang Chen and Xiao Ming, everyone assud that it was related to this.
Especially after what had happened to the Flowing River Sect.
The Martial Might Sect had wiped out a sect just for the Love Sect, so would they also remove one of their disciples just for having so quarrel with the Love Sect?
It seed like it was possible.
Once Lin Fan and the others learned of this, they imdiately gathered to discuss this.
But there wasn't a single person who could figure out just what the Martial Might Sect wanted.
This was different from the case with the Flowing Water Sect.
Unlike before where it was only outsiders who were involved, this ti it was one of the Martial Might Sect's disciples that had been disciplined.
Did this an that the Martial Might Sect cared about the Love Sect even more than their own people?
Lin Fan and the elders didn't believe this, so they knew that the Martial Might Sect must be up to sothing.
The only problem was that they had no idea what the Martial Might Sect was planning.
But before any of that could be discussed, Elder Qian had co once more to see them.
Seeing Elder Qian, they couldn't help revealing bitter smiles. That was because whenever Elder Qian ca to see them, sothing always happened.
Only this ti, Elder Qian wasn't there to invite them to anything.
Instead…
"For now, it would be better if you stay put until the beginning of the tournant. It seems that people are talking, so it's safer for your group to remain here for now."
For the first ti, he was actually telling them to stay put.
It seed like there was sound reasoning behind this since they were indeed the center of attention right now, but it was strange how sudden they had changed their mind.
It was as if they were trying to keep them from sothing…
The elders didn't really seem to figure it out, but for Lin Fan who knew about the connection to the Heavenly Demon Sect…
Could it be that the Demon Palm Sect really was connected to the Heavenly Demon Sect like he had thought?
If that was the case, then perhaps it would be good to ally themselves with the Demon Palm Sect to see what the Heavenly Demon Sect was planning.
But for now, it seed that Elder Qian wasn't done yet.
"Actually, I have so other news that I wanted to share with you."
As expected, there was more that he wanted to discuss with them.
"There's actually a special guest of ours that wants to et with you. We're hoping that you will make the ti tonight to et with them. You don't have to prepare anything, we will make all the preparations. All you have to do is co with us to the eting place when the ti cos."
The way that he said this made it seem very sketchy, but it also seed like he was being mysterious on purpose. It seed like Elder Qian was being cautious not to reveal sothing.
Was it because the person that he wanted them to et was of a special status?
Well, of course they would be if they could get Elder Qian and the Martial Might Sect to arrange a eting like this.
The elders all looked to Lin Fan for his decision.
They had already decided before coming here that when it ca to things like this, Lin Fan would make all the decisions. That was because Mu Bao Bao had put her trust in him, so they would do the sa.
Lin Fan narrowed his eyes to look at Elder Qian before slowly giving a nod of agreent.
Though he had his doubts, he knew that there was nothing to gain from being hesitant.
If they were really powerful enough to make the Martial Might Sect move, it was impossible for him to avoid eting this person that was pulling all the strings. He had no choice but to et with this person who Elder Qian was referring to.
Elder Qian didn't seem happy, rather he seed relieved that Lin Fan had agreed.
It was almost as if he had been scared that sothing bad would have happened to him if Lin Fan refused to et with this person.
Just what had happened that Elder Qian would reveal a look like this?
It seed that the relationship that the Martial Might Sect had with that person wasn't that simple…
When night fell, Elder Qian had co to escort Lin Fan and Lin Fan alone to the eting.
The elders had wanted to follow, but Elder Qian had stopped them.
The only other person that had been invited was Xiao Ming.
Everyone was surprised that Xiao Ming had also been invited, but Lin Fan had refused to bring her along.
Though she was willing, Lin Fan wasn't willing to put her in danger, so he wouldn't let her follow. After all, he had no idea what he was getting himself into, so he wasn't even certain if he could defend himself.
In that case, he wouldn't bring Xiao Ming along since it would only make the situation worse.
So Lin Fan followed Elder Qian alone.
The two of them ca to the main building of the Martial Might Sect.
Lin Fan had never been here before, but he could feel that sothing was off the mont that he arrived.
It was too quiet…
For the main building of the Martial Might Sect, it would be impossible for this place to be this quiet. Even if it was night ti, there should be plenty of people in this place.
So why wasn't there a single sound?
Was this an ambush?
Did he think too much and fall into an ambush without realizing it?
As Lin Fan raised his guard in preparation to be attacked, he suddenly heard sothing.
It was the sound of music and laughter.
It was the sound of people enjoying themselves, as if there was so kind of banquet going on.
If that was the case, could it be that everyone was at the banquet instead of being spread out all over the building?
No, even if there was a banquet, the main building of the Martial Might Sect shouldn't be this abandoned…
Sothing had to be going on…
Elder Qian just calmly led Lin Fan forward and it seed that the further they went, the closer they ca to the source of the sound. As they ca closer, the sounds of music and laughter beca even louder.
But for Lin Fan, he felt that there was sothing strange about the sounds of this banquet.
It was subtle, but he could tell that there was sothing off about the laughter of these people…
It was almost as if…they were being forced to enjoy themselves. There was a trace of unwillingness that was in their voice as it rang out.
What was happening here?
When they arrived, Elder Qian suddenly stopped and gestured for the door as he said, "Sect Master Lin, please. The guest is waiting inside for you."
Lin Fan raised a brow as he looked at Elder Qian before saying, "You're not coming in with ?"
Elder Qian seed to tremble when he heard this before shaking his head and saying, "No, the guest said that he wanted to et you alone, so I won't be coming with you. Please enjoy yourself, they have prepared a lot to et you."
I narrowed my eyes to look at Elder Qian, but his expression didn't change at all.
With the way that he looked at , it was almost as if he was hoping that I would leave as soon as possible.
So in the end, I gave a nod and headed in alone.
While I had no idea what was waiting for , it was better than just standing here and doing nothing.
When I ca in, I saw the scene of a beautiful banquet.
There were beautiful won dancing and all kinds of different delicious dishes.
I could sll the fragrance of those dishes as I ca in, so I knew that they were not normal dishes. These were top grade dishes that had been carefully made for this banquet.
But it didn't seem like anyone was enjoying it…
It seed that everyone was too busy acting like they were enjoying the banquet to actually enjoy it.
At the center of the banquet, there was a person who was sitting in the main seat with a bored look to them.
Though I couldn't really see their face since they were covered in a dark cloak.
