Chapter 279: Casting a Wide Net

elighted in her heart. She immediately acted coquettishly towards Lu San Ye."How could I be angry I'm just curious what your ex would think seeing you with me now. Would he feel a little jealous, haha...Chen Ping's face changed slightly. He raised his hand, knocking He Dong out of the battle circle at the same time, and his entire aura shifted in an instant. His inner strength was hidden, and his palm even flickered with a faint golden light. The moment the nine people attacked him, he had already found their weak points and struck them decisively.

A terrifying palm strike came, and the nine people were instantly startled. Before their attacks even landed, Chen Pingan had already reacted and immediately seized their weaknesses to counterattack.

In haste, all thoughts were empty. The leader could only gather everyone's strength, performing the joint attack formation to its peak, and charging headfirst into the fray.

"Boom!"

Their palms met, and a muffled boom echoed through the air. The leader felt an overwhelming force bearing down on him, unexpected and terrifying. Without any resistance, it completely engulfed his power, along with that of the other eight, forcing them to stumble back several steps before they could dissipate its terrifying intensity.

"The information is wrong, withdraw!" The person leading the charge's face changed, and they directly issued the command.

Their combined power was formidable, even ordinary seventh-rank experts would feel the pressure.

Chen Ping'an was obviously not an ordinary seventh-rank master, but possessed the skill of controlling phoenixes and had immense and terrifying internal energy. He was far beyond any ordinary seventh-rank master.

Seeing these nine people retreat while taking advantage of the situation and even dragging He Dong away with them, Chen Ping did not pursue. Even if he was confident in killing all nine of them, he didn't make a move.

"To catch a big fish, one must use a long line. A small grudge can lead to great chaos. His goal has been achieved. Although he exposed some of his own strength, by placing Ho Tung inside the spotlight entertainment hall, with Ho Tung as an insider, clearing away the Lu family's gray industry will definitely play a crucial role."

Moreover, with just nine of them, they couldn't even begin to fathom Chen Ping's true depth. As the heir to the Burial Dragon Ring, his true cards had never been known to anyone.

After waiting for a while to make sure these people were really gone, Chen Pingan finally turned and left.

On the other side, after the mission failed, nine people immediately retreated back to Lu's house, and Ho Tung was also brought along.

"An Yi, how are things going" Lu Lao Er hadn't rested yet. After this happened, he had no mood to rest and kept waiting for news from An Long Wei. Seeing An Long Wei return, he immediately asked.

"My Lord, Chen Ping's strength is formidable, far beyond an ordinary seventh-rank expert. Even with all nine of us combined, we could only fight him to a stalemate. Should a full-scale battle erupt, the Dark Dragon Guards would likely be wiped out. I, Dark One, failed to complete your orders, please punish me accordingly," Dark One immediately spoke.

Lu Lao'er waved his hand and said, "Alright, this matter is none of your concern. Go down first. As for Chen Ping'an's affairs, I will handle them myself."

"Yes."

The Dark Dragon Guards left, and suddenly the room was only filled with Lu Lao Er and He Dong.

Lu Lao Er pondered for a moment, looked at Ho Tung, and said: "Ho Tung, you are known as the King of Gamblers, how could you lose to a young boy Shouldn't you give me a reasonable explanation"

Unlike Chen Ping'an, who trusted people implicitly, Lu Lao Er was naturally suspicious. He wouldn't have any doubts if Ho Tung had stayed at the Guangming Entertainment City. However, since Ho Tung had left their sight, Lu Lao Er felt uneasy and decided to keep him alone to test him personally.

Ju Guang Entertainment City is the foundation of their Lu family, and they absolutely cannot allow any carelessness.

"It seems my skills are inferior to yours. As for the punishment, please enlighten me, Master." He Dong's heart was calm, but his face displayed an expression of shame and embarrassment.

Lu Laoer looked at Ho Tung and said, "What do you think of Chen Ping'an"

"Who is Chen Ping'an" Ho Tung seemed taken aback, as if he wasn't quite sure what to say. "Do you mean the young man I was gambling with tonight His name is Chen Ping'an"

"Not bad, his name is Chen Ping'an, and he's the newly appointed Southwest King."

Lu Laodi seeing Ho Dong's reaction, his heart was set. He said,

He deliberately said Chen Ping'an's name to test He Dong's reaction. Now it seems, there should be no problem.h such a method.After Mu Wancheng and Qin Shiyu were escorted out, he immediately stood up and walked towards the stage."Chen Ping'an, the Southwest King is about to appear, where are you going"Seeing...
