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

"What?!"

Ling Yu's expression changed drastically.

Did the man surnamed Chen know that he was hiding in the Yellow Sand Tower?

Otherwise, what did he mean by that?

How could that be?

He heard everything that was happening outside, but he didn't tell him where he was hiding at all.

Things have come to this point, and he's not going to believe that this is some kind of performance by outsiders.

If Chen Fan were to find him, his fate would be dire. And if the other party found out that he was the one who tipped off the Song family about the truth of Song Gang's death, he would be in serious trouble.

He didn't dare to think any further.

"Chen Fan, I don't understand what you're saying."

Shi Tao shook his head.

The next moment, his expression changed, and he protected the pocket containing the yellow sand tower with both hands.

But it was still too late.

Chen Fan took the Yellow Sand Tower first.

"It's over..."

Upon seeing this, Shen Si and the others all had the same thought in mind.

"Chen Fan!"

Shi Tao feigned anger and said, "How dare you steal something from me? Give it back to me right now."

"I'm sorry, President, I had no choice but to do this." Chen Fan sighed, then channeled his mental energy into the tower.

Sure enough, Ling Yu, whom he had been searching for but could not find, was sitting on the grass, looking up at the sky with a pale face.

"Chen Fan, what... what do you want to do?"

He made a sound of panic.

"Get out here!"

With a thought from Chen Fan, Ling Yu immediately appeared in the hall.

Song Tian and the others standing nearby were all taken aback.

The gazes directed at the Yellow Sand Pagoda in Chen Fan's hand became noticeably more intense.

This thing can actually hold people?

"?"

Ling Yu glanced around and was startled by the scene before him.

Fortunately, he reacted quickly, stood up abruptly, and tried to run behind Shi Tao.

After all, even Karl from the Revival Society, who was so strong, couldn't escape. If he tried to run, he would only die even faster.

Unfortunately, Chen Fan would never give him that chance.

Two lightning-fast taps were applied to his body, and Ling Yu stood motionless in the same position, still trying to escape.

"Should a real man, at a time like this, only know how to run behind his elders and not dare to face them head-on?"

Chen Fan stared into his eyes.

Ling Yu was so frightened that she broke out in a cold sweat. She didn't dare to look Chen Fan in the eye at all, and desperately rolled her eyes, casting a pleading look at Shi Tao.

Look me in the eye!

Chen Fan gave a low shout.

This sound startled Ling Yu so much that he wet his pants, and an unpleasant odor spread throughout the hall.

Seeing this, Chang Fei and the others couldn't bear to watch any longer and gradually looked away.

They knew that being so scared that they wet their pants wasn't entirely Ling Yu's fault, because Chen Fan was too strong. He had deliberately held back his aura when facing them before, but now he showed no restraint when facing Ling Yu.

If they were replaced by Ling Yu, their performance in the face of Chen Fan might not have been much better.

But who can we blame for things developing to this point?

He has only himself to blame.

"Chen Fan..."

What did Shi Tao want to say?

Chen Fan didn't even glance at him before interrupting, "President, this is between him and me. Here, take this back."

After saying that, he threw the yellow sand tower over.

Shi Tao accepted it with a bitter expression.

"Tell me, did Xiao Hong go to the Anshan City Martial Arts Association to find me on your orders?"

Chen Fan asked, word by word.

"No, no, it wasn't me."

Ling Yu stammered, "Yes, yes, it was him, he wanted to go himself."

He's not stupid. Once he admits it, those people from the Song family will be his fate!

Moreover, if Chen Fan really wanted to kill him, no one at the scene could stop him.

Look me in the eyes! Say it again.

Chen Fan said coldly.

Ling Yu dared not look directly at Shi Tao and desperately tried to look at him.

"It seems I have to use my soul-searching technique before you'll tell the truth."

"don't want!"

Upon hearing this, Shi Tao quickly said, "Chen Fan, don't use the Soul Searching Technique, otherwise it will cause permanent damage to his spirit."

"Then tell me, Chairman, how can I get him to tell the truth?"

Chen Fan turned his head and asked, "If that incident in the past had nothing to do with him, why did you, Chairman, refuse to reveal his whereabouts before? If there wasn't another hidden reason, how can that be explained?"

Shi Tao was speechless.

He was afraid this scene would happen, so he hid Ling Yu in the Yellow Sand Tower. In the end, he still couldn't prevent it from happening, and it even confirmed Chen Fan's guess.

Finally, he sighed, "Chen Fan, you're right, Xiao Hong was indeed sent by Xiao Yu."

"Master!"

Ling Yu let out a wail.

His eyes were filled with despair.

"Xiaoyu, if you don't want people to know, then don't do it in the first place. This matter can't be kept secret."

Tears welled up in Shi Tao's eyes. "You made a mistake in this matter, but your master is also to blame. As the saying goes, if a child is not taught, it is the father's fault; if the teaching is not strict, it is the teacher's laziness. Chen Fan, I am willing to take the blame for Xiao Yu and use all my power to ensure Xiao Yu's safety."

"President!"

"President!"

Chang Fei and the others exclaimed in surprise, as if they wanted to say something.

Shi Tao waved his hand, "Chen Fan, the Star Absorbing Technique you cultivate allows you to absorb the power of others, making your cultivation speed far exceed that of ordinary people. However, this also has drawbacks. If you absorb too much of the power of others, it can easily cause a backlash and harm yourself."

So, I'll transfer all my internal energy to you later, hoping you'll spare Ling Yu. What do you say?

"Master!"

Ling Yu burst into tears.

Song Tian and the others looked at each other in bewilderment.

It's clear from their conversation that Ling Yu and Chen have a grudge, and it's not a small one.

Ling Yu and Shi Tao are likely master and disciple, something they've heard about.

Although they didn't know what had happened, Shi Tao was so foolish as to give up his life's worth of power for his disciples.

Song Wu's gaze was fixed on Ling Yu, who was not far away.

For some reason, this guy gave him a somewhat familiar feeling, as if he had seen him somewhere before.

But he knew very well that the two sides had never met in person.

"President, so much time has passed, haven't you noticed a problem yet?"

Chen Fan remained calm as always.

"What's the problem?" Shi Tao was taken aback.

"Ling Yu, isn't he your disciple? Hearing that his master was going to give up his life's work to save him, he didn't even object. What does that mean?"

As soon as he finished speaking, everyone in the hall turned their gaze toward Ling Yu.

A new sense of skepticism appeared in his eyes.

Yes, it seems they didn't hear Ling Yu say anything that sounded like he was trying to stop them.

Even Shi Tao was somewhat stunned.

"Master, don't listen to his nonsense!"

Ling Yu quickly said, "I was stunned when I heard what you said, and I didn't react for a moment. Master, I don't want you to do this. I will take responsibility for my own actions, no matter what it is!"

"it is good."

Chen Fan nodded. "It's settled then."

"No, no!"

Ling Yu panicked again. "Master, save me! Save me! I don't want my martial arts to be crippled! Master!"

Shi Tao's face once again showed a look of reluctance.

He actually knew that what had just happened wasn't as simple as Ling Yu had made it out to be.

If the latter truly cares about him, there's no reason why he wouldn't react; he would instinctively speak up to stop him.

But he didn't, which shows that he placed his own safety in the most important position.

Shi Tao took a deep breath. In any case, Ling Yu's transformation into this person was entirely his doing, and it was only right that he paid the price.

"That's enough!"

To everyone's surprise, Song Wu roared.

"What's the big deal if a man's powers are stripped? It's no big deal to cry and whine like a woman."

Ling Yu immediately stopped crying and glared at him fiercely.

"What are you looking at?"

Song Wu sneered, "Am I wrong?"

"Second Brother?"

Seeing this, the other members of the Song family all looked at them with puzzled expressions.

It's obvious from the current situation that it's an internal conflict within their association; let's just treat it as a show.

Why get involved?

"Big brother."

Song Wu looked at Song Tian and said, "Do you remember the phone call we received a couple of days ago?"

"What do you mean?"

Song Tian was full of doubts.

"At the time, we were searching for who killed our third brother. Just when we thought we couldn't find out, someone suddenly called and told us that Shen Si had lied."

"What?!"

Shen Si's eyes widened.

He didn't really understand where he had slipped up.

According to Song Wu, it turns out that someone had tipped them off?

"Second brother, what do you mean?" Song Tian wasn't stupid. His gaze swept over everyone present and landed on Ling Yu. "The person who called us back then is right here in this hall right now?"

"Yeah," Song Wu laughed, "This guy is really strange. After telling us the information, he didn't even want the bounty. That's really odd. Now I understand, he probably wants us to get rid of someone, right, Chen Fan?"

"Is that so?"

Chen Fan's face darkened.

He already knew who it was without even having to guess.

Because Ling Yu in front of him was trembling even more violently than before.

"Xiaoyu, is that really you?"

Shi Tao's voice trembled, "Did you call them and tell them all this?"

"No! It wasn't me!"

Ling Yu quickly denied it, "Master, I don't know what they're talking about, I don't know anything, I don't know anything at all!"

"Alright, it's come to this, what are you pretending for?"

Song Wu sneered, "You know I contacted Shen Si before, so she must be an insider. Of all these people here, it seems you're the only one who has a grudge against Chen Fan, right? You just wanted to use us to get rid of him for you, but you never expected..."

A deep resentment flashed in Song Wu's eyes. "The strength of this man surnamed Chen far exceeds your imagination. Even we are no match for him."

That's right, he pointed out Ling Yu not for Chen Fan's sake.

His goal was similar to Ling Yu's; he simply wanted to use Chen Fan to get rid of Ling Yu.

Because, no matter how you look at it, their downfall today is all this kid's fault! If he hadn't tipped them off, they wouldn't have come here so confidently, leading to their complete annihilation!

This debt should be attributed to Chen Fan, but Ling Yu is also partly responsible!

"Don't make false accusations!"

Ling Yu roared hysterically, wishing he could rush over and stab the other person to death.

He kindly told them the truth, but these people, who were not capable themselves, still wanted to drag him into it.

Is this something a human being could do?

"Ling Yu, tell me the truth, did you call them or not!" Shen Si was furious at this moment.

If what Song Wu and the others said is true, then Ling Yu is a sinner of the association!

Everything that's happening now could perhaps have been avoided! The Song family and the Revival Society wouldn't have come out in full force to cause them trouble.

"It wasn't me, it really wasn't me!"

Ling Yu vehemently denied it.

Because he knew better than anyone that if he admitted it, even his best teacher wouldn't show him any favoritism.

"Master, they don't believe me, don't you believe me either? It's those guys who are sowing discord, spreading dirty water, and framing me!!!"

His voice echoed throughout the hall.

"Then why didn't they frame someone else? Why did they choose to frame you?"

Chen Fan countered with a question.

"How should I know!"

Ling Yu stared into Chen Fan's eyes. "Chen, I know you wish I were dead, but this has absolutely nothing to do with me! I'm also a member of the Jiangnan Martial Arts Association; I would never betray everyone like this!"

His reaction startled Chang Fei and the others standing nearby.

Could it really be the Song family who are sowing discord?

They want to frame Ling Yu and cause the Jiangnan Martial Arts Association to lose a genius?

Is this necessary?

Chen Fan is more than a hundred times stronger than Ling Yu, and the Jiangnan Martial Arts Association will soon be disbanded and cease to exist.

Only Shi Tao remained silent throughout the entire process.

Ling Yu, he knew him all too well.

He had observed every move the other person made from the moment they left until now.

People can lie with righteous indignation, but subtle changes, such as the size of their pupils, the trembling of their eyebrows, the speed and tone of their speech, cannot be altered. Just like when Ling Yu said that he had nothing to do with Xiao Hong, he could tell at a glance that the other party was lying.

The same applies now.

Shi Tao really wanted to deceive himself, but he couldn't convince his own heart.

If this is true, it cannot be forgiven.

"Let's use the Soul Searching Technique."

The atmosphere suddenly became quiet.

No one expected that these words would come from Shi Tao's mouth.

"Master?"

Ling Yu's shock was beyond measure.

"Let's use the Soul Searching Technique."

Shi Tao turned around, tears streaming down his face. "If what they say is true, I will personally clean house."

"it is good."

Chen Fan nodded.

"Master! Master! It really wasn't me, it really wasn't me!" Ling Yu shouted.

Suddenly, his voice stopped abruptly, and he stared blankly ahead.

"Did you call the Song family to tell them about Song Gang's death?"

Chen Fan asked.
