High-level martial arts: Invincibility starts with basic archery.

The person surnamed Chen was actually looking for him?

Yes.

Ling Yu recalled everything.

His master had told him that one day, that man surnamed Chen would come to headquarters and confront him face to face.

If it is proven that Xiao Hong was instructed by him, then the man surnamed Chen will cripple him.

Before this, he had been dismissive of the matter, even thinking that no one surnamed Chen was a match for him.

Hiding in the sand tower, he overheard everything and panicked.

Even a master in the Celestial Realm is no match for this Chen fellow, so what makes him so special?

"No, we must not lose our composure."

Large beads of cold sweat rolled down Ling Yu's forehead.

Perhaps his master and the others were deliberately putting on an act to scare him? He didn't even know if his master's attack had landed on him.

However, what he didn't know was that the expressions of the people outside were extremely ugly.

Some people may not know about the feud between Chen Fan and Ling Yu, but judging from Shi Tao's previous behavior, they know that there must be something serious going on.

Now that Chen Fan has asked, how should the president respond?

As insiders, Shen Si and Chang Fei were extremely anxious, their hearts pounding like a drum.

In the past, the president's strength was above that of Brother Chen, so he was naturally able to protect Ling Yu.

But now, it's no exaggeration to say that Chen Fan is completely dominating the guild leader. If Chen Fan finds out, Ling Yu will hide in the yellow sand tower on the guild leader's body.

Ling Yu's fate was predictable.

Chen Fan smiled and continued, "After arriving at headquarters, I specifically used my mental power to search for him, but I couldn't find Ling Yu there. Moreover, I searched the entire Jiangnan City, but I couldn't find him anywhere. President, you should know the saying 'the truth will eventually come out.'"

"Brother Chen, Chen..."

What did Shen Sixiang want to say?

Chen Fan shook his head at him, and the former could only obediently shut his mouth.

Shi Tao sighed and said:

"Chen Fan, I understand what you mean, but I can follow your arrangements for everything else, except for this one."

"It seems the president has admitted that Xiao Hong was orchestrated by Ling Yu behind the scenes? Is that right?" Chen Fan asked calmly, without getting angry.

Shi Tao did not speak.

He wanted to deny it, but couldn't bring himself to say it.

If he admits it, then Ling Yu is finished.

The latter was used to being arrogant and proud; if he were to become a cripple, it would be better to kill him.

Of course, most importantly, Ling Yu is his disciple, and the two are like father and son. As long as he has a breath left, he will not stand idly by and watch all of this happen.

Even if it offends Chen Fan.

"President, everyone should be responsible for their actions. Those who do the right thing should be praised and rewarded, and those who do the wrong thing should be punished, right? If someone clearly does something bad but gets away with it, who will want to be a good person if this continues?"

Chang Fei and the others looked at each other and agreed that Chen Fan's words made sense.

Shi Tao also looked ashamed.

He knew, of course, that Chen Fan was right; his life goal was also to be an upright and honest person.

However, he knew that Ling Yu had made a mistake, yet he deliberately covered it up. Such behavior is certainly not that of a gentleman.

"President, tell me Ling Yu's whereabouts. I promise that at most I will only cripple his martial arts, not take his life."

Chen Fan seized the opportunity to build the railway.

Ling Yu, inside the Yellow Sand Tower, gritted his teeth upon hearing these words.

Hey Chen, who the hell do you think you are? What right do you have to cripple my martial arts? Huh?

But despite his hatred, he didn't have the courage to go out.

"Chen Fan, that matter was indeed Xiao Yu's fault, but I also bear responsibility for the whole thing. If I hadn't told him that you could refine high-grade True Qi Pills, he wouldn't have developed such bad intentions. Moreover, it was also my fault for not disciplining him properly. This matter is mainly my fault. I am willing to cripple my martial arts. I hope you can let Xiao Yu go and stop pursuing that matter."

"What?!"

"President!"

"President!"

Chang Fei and the others were shocked.

"President, you absolutely mustn't! You're the pillar of our headquarters. If you cripple yourself, not only will the headquarters collapse, but the entire Jiangnan District Martial Arts Association will be doomed!"

"Yes, President, you are now the youngest Celestial Realm martial artist in our Yan Kingdom. Your future is limitless. You absolutely cannot do such a foolish thing!"

"President, if all else fails, just tell me Ling Yu's whereabouts!"

The group panicked completely.

Shi Tao seemed to have come to terms with it, shook his head, and looked at Chen Fan, saying, "In the past, I was indeed indispensable to the headquarters, but now, Chen Fan is more qualified than me to serve as the president, both in terms of strength and character."

"President..."

Everyone tried to persuade him.

Ling Yu, inside the Yellow Sand Tower, was also bewildered.

Master actually wants to cripple his own martial arts in order to ensure his own safety?

How could this happen?

Could it be that everything happening outside wasn't just an act?

Chen Fan sighed.

He felt that Shi Tao was indeed right about some things.

Ling Yu's success today is undoubtedly related to Shi Tao's arrogance. In the past, with Shi Tao protecting him, even the biggest problems could be minimized or resolved. Unfortunately, this time, Ling Yu has provoked him.

"President, I advise you not to do this," Chen Fan said helplessly. "Even if you cripple your own martial arts, I will not let him go. I always keep my word. If I say I will cripple his martial arts, I will cripple his martial arts."

Shi Tao seemed to have guessed that Chen Fan would answer this way, and a look of disappointment appeared on his face. He then said, "Chen Fan, I'm sorry, I won't tell you Xiao Yu's whereabouts."

Upon hearing this, Chen Fan's gaze fell on Shen Si.

"Brother Chen, don't look at me like that. I have no idea where Ling Yu is," Shen Si quickly said, but he was a little guilty and looked at Chen Fan's eyes for less than a second before looking away.

"Is it that you really don't know, or are you pretending not to know?" Chen Fan asked again.

"Young Master Chen, please don't make things difficult for me. I really don't know."

Shen Si smiled bitterly.

He was truly caught in a dilemma.

"Brother Chen, Ling Yu did make a mistake in that matter and should be punished. However, isn't the price of crippling his martial arts too high? For example, how about confining him for three years, or sending him to the wilderness to kill a certain number of ferocious beasts to make amends?" Chang Fei said tentatively, glancing at Shi Tao at the same time.

He believed that the reason the chairman refused to reveal Ling Yu's whereabouts was because the price Ling Yu would have to pay was simply too heavy.

If things are handled gently, he might accept it.

Chen Fan shook his head again.

When dealing with people, one must be trustworthy in one's words and deeds. If one says one will cripple someone's martial arts skills, then one's martial arts skills are crippled.

Chang Fei immediately shut his mouth and said no more.

Ling Yu, oh Ling Yu, you'd better pray for yourself.

As the saying goes, fortune and misfortune have no fixed gate; they are summoned by oneself. If he hadn't been blinded by greed back then, how could he have ended up like this today?

He asked himself honestly, he had done everything he should have done, and he had also done things he shouldn't have done. The rest was up to fate.

"Damn it, no one's going to tell him I'm hiding inside the Yellow Sand Tower, is that it?"

Ling Yu was indeed panicked.

He felt as if this wasn't acting, but something that was actually happening.

Master is definitely stubborn; no matter what, he will not tell the man surnamed Chen his whereabouts.

But it's not necessarily the case for others.

What if they can't withstand the pressure or resist the temptation and tell everyone?

Am I doomed?

"Damn it!"

Ling Yu's eyes were bloodshot. If he had known this day would come, he should have risked everything and had someone kill this guy.

If he were dead, none of this would have happened, right?

"It seems that Chairman Shen and you know Ling Yu's whereabouts, but Chairman Shi told you not to reveal it. Is that right?"

Chen Fan wasn't stupid; he saw it at a glance.

The group exchanged glances and all wore wry smiles.

"Brother Chen, please don't make things difficult for us."

"Yes, Brother Chen, we really can't say, we really can't say."

Hearing what everyone said, Shi Tao's heart was still in his throat.

It's certainly a good thing that the people around him listen to him, but he's afraid that if Chen Fan takes a hard line, even he will be powerless to stop him.

Just as Chang Fei and the others were feeling uneasy and worried that Chen Fan might use some tricks on them.

Chen Fan smiled.

"Alright, I won't make things difficult for you."

As soon as he finished speaking, everyone, including Shi Tao, breathed a sigh of relief.

Chen Fan is a man of his word; if he says something, he will definitely do it.

"Young Master Chen, I'm so sorry," Shen Si said apologetically, "I really..."

Chen Fan waved his hand, "President Shen, there's no need to say more. I don't like to force people to do things against their will. This matter originally had nothing to do with you, and there's no need to drag you into it. Besides..."

Chen Fan's gaze fell on Shi Tao. "President, you don't actually think that the only way for me to find out Ling Yu's whereabouts is through President Shen and the others, do you?"

Shi Tao's expression changed drastically.

"Heavens, the Emperor's Qi Observation Technique?"

Since Chen Fan was able to use the Emperor's Qi Observation Technique to know that the Song family would arrive in an hour, then by the same logic, he could also use this martial art to predict where Ling Yu would appear next!

"good."

Chen Fan nodded.

Shi Tao felt a surge of despair.

In the end, he still couldn't protect Ling Yu?

"Oh, right! Old Wang!"

He suddenly thought of someone.

Although Mr. Wang doesn't know where he is now, he will definitely contact him immediately after seeing the phone call he made.

Ling Yu is currently very safe in the Yellow Sand Tower. With his physique, he can go without food or water for several days without any problems.

Therefore, as long as we wait for Elder Wang to plead repeatedly, perhaps we can still save him. No, there is another limitation: before that, Chen Fan used the Emperor's Qi Observation Technique to find out Ling Yu's whereabouts.

He would definitely try to steal it!

"It seems that even though I explained things so clearly, I couldn't change the president's mind."

Chen Fan sighed, "Then we'll just have to wait."

Once the Song family arrives, he can use his ability to foresee the future again, and no one can stop him.

The atmosphere around them quieted down.

Chang Fei and the others looked at each other in bewilderment.

Chen Fan has the ability to foresee the future, so what the chairman did was completely meaningless.

The only difference is that it happened a little earlier or a little later.

Ling Yu, inside the Yellow Sand Tower, looked puzzled. He didn't know what was going on; the voices outside had suddenly stopped.

"Did that guy surnamed Chen give up?"

He thought to himself.

I don't think that's very likely, because the other party traveled all the way from Anshan City to headquarters to settle accounts with him.

How could I give up so easily?

"However, he would never have dreamed that I was hiding right under his nose."

Thinking of this, Ling Yu revealed a smug look on his face.

Since he couldn't get out anytime soon, he might as well stay here. Once this guy left, his master would naturally let him out.

"Let's go."

Just then, Chen Fan's voice rang out from outside, startling him.

"The Song family is coming soon, so there's no point in staying here any longer."

Upon hearing this, Chang Fei and the others immediately felt anxious again.

Although they had witnessed Chen Fan's strength in the battle just now, even the guild leader's full-force attack couldn't harm a single hair on his head.

The problem is that both Song Daoquan of the Song family and Karl of the Revival Society are well-established and not easy to deal with. With the two of them together, the threat level increases exponentially.

Is Chen Fan really a match for him alone?

Ling Yu suddenly felt a jolt.

What?

People from the Song family?

Are the Song family members coming here?

"Chen Fan".

Shi Tao's voice rang out, "Why don't you take Shen Si and the others and find a place to hide first? It's not too late to fight them when you're stronger. As for this place, leave it to me. After all, I am the president of the headquarters. This is still the headquarters. No matter how much they are blinded by anger, they won't dare to do anything to me."

He said this partly out of concern for Chen Fan, and partly to get Chen Fan to leave so that Ling Yu could escape danger.

"Yes, Brother Chen, what the chairman said makes sense. Why don't we hide away for a while and then talk about it?" Shen Si and the others agreed.

As the saying goes, "Where there's life, there's hope." With Chen Fan's growth rate, let alone Song Daoquan, he could defeat even the two mid-stage Celestial Realm martial artists from the Song family, given enough time.

Chen Fan shook his head and said, "You have underestimated the Song family's determination this time. If they can't find us, it's hard to say whether the headquarters will even exist."

The group stared wide-eyed.

Although they couldn't believe it, they had to admit that it was possible.

Even if Song Daoquan didn't want to push things to the extreme, Karl, who came with him, would force him to.

After all, in the eyes of the Revival Society, what Martial Arts Association? They only know the Awakeners Association!

"Wait, the Song family, and the Revival Society?"

Ling Yu opened her mouth wide.

Are these people coming to cause trouble for Chen Fan and Shen Si?

Could it be that his backup plan worked? (End of Chapter)
