Soon they arrived at the airport. As Ling Zhenfei got out of the car, he felt something wasn't right. He scanned around with his divine sense and realized that someone was watching him.

However, this person's skill level was clearly lacking, and judging by their attire and demeanor, they seemed to be from the underworld.

No doubt, these are Feng Zilong's men. It's surprising they are still fixated on their goal.

According to the plan agreed upon between Ling Zhenfei and Long Hai, once Ling Zhenfei leaves, it will be time to completely clear out Feng Zilong's remnants.

At this moment, they probably aren't aware of this plan, especially since last time, Jingjing managed to lure them away, and they didn't find Ling Zhenfei.

They're likely frustrated, though in reality, this plan merely spared their lives.

Unexpectedly, these people are still relentless, now staking out at the airport once again.

Ling Zhenfei directly walked towards them. The few men were visibly surprised, unsure of how Ling Zhenfei discovered them.

How could they know that after a day yesterday, Ling Zhenfei's abilities had advanced significantly? With hard work, Ling Zhenfei could soon reach the Pursue Heart State.

The Pursue Heart Realm is such a formidable level. Few people in this world can attain it; even those who do are likely old monsters who've cultivated for decades.

When those men saw Ling Zhenfei approaching, they were utterly shocked. There were only four of them, and they knew of Ling Zhenfei's strength, so they didn't dare act.

Seeing Ling Zhenfei coming, they feared and turned to flee, but Ling Zhenfei couldn't let them escape.

With a slight exertion of the Northern Spiritual Energy, those men were unable to move.

Their bodies were completely immobile. As Ling Zhenfei reached them, they still couldn't move a muscle.

Ling Zhenfei stood before them, noticing they had daggers tucked in their waists. He casually drew a dagger from one of them.

Playing with it in his hands, he left them dumbfounded.

Ling Zhenfei said, "You're quite interesting. I haven't sought you out, yet you've come looking for me. If not for my limited time, I would definitely eliminate all of you before departing."

The men were terrified and quickly said, "We were wrong, really wrong. Please forgive us."

Ling Zhenfei chuckled and said, "Tell me, what's the plan this time? How do you intend to assassinate me?"

One of them glanced at the others and said, "We had no intention of assassinating you, just wanted to see if you've left."

Ling Zhenfei said, "Seeing if I've left—what's the point? Answer honestly."

Those three were evidently well aware of Ling Zhenfei's prowess. Likely all those involved in Tangcheng yesterday knew about him.

Everyone knew Ling Zhenfei was a killing force; many had perished at his hands yesterday, so naturally, they're scared.

One said, "If we saw you leave, we were supposed to make a phone call to a specific number."

Ling Zhenfei was taken aback after hearing this. If he left, they would make a phone call—what did this mean?

Ling Zhenfei said, "Call now."

The man looked at Ling Zhenfei in fear and asked, "What should I say?"

Ling Zhenfei thought for a moment and said, "Tell them I haven't left, that I returned after arriving at the airport."

The man quickly nodded, "Alright, alright, I'll make the call right away."

Not knowing its significance, yet aware that if someone wanted to track his movements, there must be a reason; saying the opposite would likely be advantageous.

The man promptly made the call.

The voice on the other end quickly answered.

"Hello!"

They simply spoke a single word.

"Hello, I'm calling to let you know that today Ling Zhenfei hasn't left. He went to the airport and then returned immediately."

"What, returned again? These idiots in Tangcheng can't even kill properly, couldn't even get him to the Provincial City today. What's the use of you?"

Upon hearing Ling Zhenfei hadn't left, the person was very upset, confirming to Ling Zhenfei he'd made the right move.

It was clear there was still a plot aimed at him.

Ling Zhenfei was deeply curious about who this person was and why they were targeting him.

But then the person said, "A bunch of useless fools, always messing things up."

After saying this, they hung up.

Ling Zhenfei memorized the number dialed by that man, feeling it might be useful at a crucial moment.

Ling Zhenfei said, "I won't trouble you any further, but I advise you not to put your lives on the line for those people. Otherwise, I will surely return and take your heads."

After saying this, Ling Zhenfei took the man's phone. With a light finger flick, the phone suddenly emitted smoke and was destroyed.

Those men were stunned, already somewhat fearful of Ling Zhenfei, now even more terrified.

Ling Zhenfei gave the destroyed phone back to them and continued towards the airport.

As he walked, Ling Zhenfei pondered the words just spoken to him.

It seemed like those people were very eager for Ling Zhenfei to leave today—what could be the reason?

Knowing that someone had a plan against him, should he really risk leaving?

If he did, would he fall into their trap?

Ling Zhenfei returned to his car, with some time left before the plane was set to depart, enough for him to consider these issues.

Worried about what kind of scheme they might hatch, Ling Zhenfei even contemplated whether he should leave today.

After a period of contemplation, Ling Zhenfei still couldn't come up with anything.

Then, Ling Zhenfei's phone suddenly rang.

Looking at the caller ID, it was Luo Juan.

Ling Zhenfei hurriedly picked up the call.

"Boss Ling, can you reach the Provincial City today?"

Listening to Luo Juan's voice, she seemed quite anxious.

Ling Zhenfei asked, "What's the matter, did something happen?"

Luo Juan replied, "Those people just issued us an ultimatum. Today they want to resolve everything. Seems like something will happen today."

Ling Zhenfei was stunned after hearing this, feeling a surge of indecision in his heart.

This was all too coincidental—why did they choose today to act? Especially after just learning there was a scheme targeted at him, and now Luo Juan calls. Is there a connection?

Ling Zhenfei said, "I understand. When are they moving?"

Luo Juan said, "They set the time for 2 PM this afternoon."

Ling Zhenfei said, "I may not be able to return. If things get really bad, just call the police."

Hearing Ling Zhenfei say he couldn't return, Luo Juan was a bit disheartened. It seemed like this situation wouldn't be easy to handle.

But she didn't say much more, just insisted she'd handle it properly.

Yet this matter would be extremely difficult for Luo Juan to manage, as it involved intentional targeting of the Xi Shan Restaurant, making it hard for her to cope.

Ling Zhenfei's mind was filled with many thoughts, all revolving around this matter.
