Chris sneered, his eyes devoid of emotion, "The biggest regret of my life is not making this decision sooner."
Lu Changfeng was shocked!
What was he saying!?
He wanted to say more, but the next second, he felt an overwhelming pressure approaching. Lu Changfeng had no power to resist and knelt to the ground with a thud. At this point, he could no longer care about the Maas family!
"What do you want to do!"
Chen Fan smiled and nodded at him, "Relax, I won't take your life for now."
"I have a question for you—"
Chen Fan chuckled, "Where is the Hall of Rebirth?"
Lu Changfeng's face instantly changed. Why would he inquire about the Hall of Rebirth!
This was a secret place of the Divine Hall. Even if Chen Fan killed him here today, he could not say another word!
"No comment."
Chen Fan raised an eyebrow, "To keep a secret, you'd even disregard your own life?"
Lu Changfeng's face was devoid of any color. Upon closer inspection, one could even feel a tremor from the depths of his soul.
Was it fear?
Why would he be so reticent, even fearful, of that place?!
He lowered his head in confusion and looked at him, "It's just an herbal storage, I'm just going to get something, it shouldn't make you so wary, right?"
Lu Changfeng's eyes were already bloodshot. He stared at Chen Fan without blinking, then a strange arc suddenly appeared on his lips.
The next moment, blood began to seep from the corner of his mouth.
Chen Fan's expression changed. He lightly tapped his neck, but—
It was useless.
He said in a deep voice and stepped back, looking at Yin Ping and shaking his head, "He shattered his own meridians. It's beyond saving."
He committed suicide?
Yin Ping's face also instantly turned grim. It seemed that the so-called Hall of Rebirth was far more complicated than they had imagined!
"Throw these people out."
In the silence, it was Chris who spoke first, "Don't let the dirty blood of their Divine Hall stain the graveyard of my Maas family."
Chris's words had completely severed his ties with the Divine Hall.
Except for Chen Fan, who was aware, everyone else was shocked.
Even Yin Ping looked at Chris in disbelief. What had happened on this trip to the tomb that made Chris suddenly make such a decision!?
As Yin Ping was lost in thought, Chris strode forward, "Thank you, Mr. Chen, for solving a problem that has troubled me for so many years."
"My Maas family will completely withdraw from the Divine Hall. In the future, if Dark Fox needs anything, I, Chris, am willing to lend a hand."
This was unequivocally a declaration of intent.
Yin Ping was overjoyed!
This was the Maas family, the head of the five great families! Their strength could not be underestimated.
Having such a powerful force willing to extend an olive branch to them would be like adding wings to Dark Fox!
Yin Ping immediately expressed his welcome to Chris. After exchanging contact information, Chris led the Maas family away.
Severing ties with the Divine Hall was not a simple matter. Over the years, the Maas family had been deeply entangled with the Divine Hall, and breaking these complex bonds would not be easy.
Moreover, the Divine Hall had a far-reaching influence throughout Europe.
It was foreseeable that after Chris decided to cut ties, he would face immense criticism and attacks from the public.
The Maas family would undoubtedly suffer a severe blow, but—
Only then could they usher in a new beginning.
Chen Fan retracted his gaze and nodded to Yin Ping beside him, "Let's return to Dark Fox first."
He knew Yin Ping had a stomach full of questions, but it was clearly not the place for a detailed explanation. The Dark Fox group returned the way they came. By the time they reached headquarters, the sun was already setting.
Chen Fan briefly recounted what had happened in the tomb on the way. Yin Ping was also greatly shocked.
Before he could process it, Chen Fan, who saw Luo Er standing at the entrance, walked up to him, "Why have you come?"
"Young Master said he hasn't reached your requirements yet and is ashamed to see you."
"But there's news that must be delivered to you personally, so I came on his behalf."
Luo Er's expression was solemn. Chen Fan immediately turned serious, "Is there something wrong with Miss Chen?"
Luo Er nodded, "Miss Chen's condition is not optimistic. Dawei suspects it might be the Gu poison acting up prematurely. If there's no news from the Hall of Rebirth, she wants us to find the Stabilizing Spirit Pill as soon as possible. It can temporarily alleviate Miss Chen's problem."
"Stabilizing Spirit Pill?"
Yin Ping frowned as he listened, "This is not an easy thing to obtain."
Luo Er gave a wry smile, "Precisely because of this, we didn't dare to be careless and brought the news to Mr. Chen, to see if you have any channels to inquire about its whereabouts."
Chen Fan nodded with a grim expression, "I know."
Seeing that he had delivered the message, Luo Er did not dare to linger at Dark Fox and took his leave.
Yin Ping knew how much Chen Fan cared for Chen Xing'er. He immediately comforted him and nodded, "Dark Fox's intelligence department is second to none in all of Europe. If there is any news of the Stabilizing Spirit Pill in Europe, we will definitely have a record of it."
"I'll go to the intelligence department and inquire about the situation now. Wait for my news."
With that, he turned and walked into the main building.
Concerned about the matter, Chen Fan did not return to his room and simply waited downstairs.
About half an hour later, Yin Ping strode out from inside, a hint of joy in his eyes, "There's an auction in the black market in two days! Our people received word that this Stabilizing Spirit Pill will be among the auction items that day!"
