Of course, if Elder Wang follows, it will be a sure thing.

Unfortunately, he can't find Elder Wang.

"I can only inform Chairman Sun first, and tell him my whereabouts when Elder Wang appears."

Chen Fan sighed and made a quick call to Sun Wei. After a brief conversation, he hung up.

His gaze fixed on the direction of Jiangnan City; his intuition told him that a fierce battle was inevitable today, and in the future, he would be caught in a life-and-death struggle with the Song Family.

Is it troublesome?

Indeed, it is troublesome.

Because once he kills them, it means he has thoroughly offended the Song Family and the Revival Association. From then on, the latter two will definitely want him dead.

But it's too late to say anything now.

If they want to kill him, they should be prepared to be killed by him.

Besides that, there are also past grudges that should be ended.

...

At the moment, in Jiangnan City, over a thousand kilometers away.

In the President's office at the Martial Arts Association Headquarters, Shi Tao and a few others stared at the screen in front of them, pondering.

No one knew how much time had passed when Chang Fei could no longer hold back and asked, "Old Shen, Chen Fan wants us to investigate the identities of these people. What is his intention?"

Shen Si smiled bitterly and shook his head, "I sent the information about these people last night and specifically asked him. He said, I'll know when the time comes."

"Know when the time comes? What does that mean?"

Chang Fei scratched his head.

When did that kid start liking to speak in riddles?

All riddlers deserve to die!

"Actually, I have some guesses."

Just as Shen Si was about to speak, there was a sudden urgent knocking at the door, "Master, Master, I heard you are back, is it true?"

It was Ling Yu's voice.

The people in the room exchanged glances and their eyes unconsciously fell on Shi Tao.

He had hurried back to the headquarters early in the morning without many people knowing, but his movements had still drawn attention.

It was not surprising that Ling Yu got the news.

Shi Tao nodded.

Someone quickly walked to the door and opened it.

"Master!"

Ling Yu's face lit up with joy upon seeing Shi Tao, but then he was a bit displeased, "Master, you returned to the headquarters but didn't tell me? I only found out because someone else told me."

"I just came back to handle some urgent matters; I planned to look for you later," Shi Tao said patiently, "How has your cultivation been these past few days? Encountered any difficult problems?"

"It's going smoothly. I ran into a minor issue in the middle but resolved it quickly," Ling Yu said, somewhat proudly.

He hurried over also partly to seek praise.

"That's good."

Shi Tao nodded, then looked at Shen Si, not avoiding newly arrived Ling Yu, and asked, "What was your guess just now?"

"My guess is..."

Shen Si glanced at Ling Yu and continued, "I suspect Brother Chen has foreseen that these people would come to cause trouble for us."

Sure enough, hearing the name Chen made Ling Yu's spirit tense up and his pupils contract.

"You should all know about Emperor's Qi Observation Skill,"

Shen Si's voice rang in their ears, "It's true that if this martial art is cultivated to perfection, it can predict the future. Unfortunately, the secret manual recording its mysteries is lost. Even the Awakened Association and various noble families do not have it."

"But Brother Chen is different. Old Chang, do you remember? I asked you about Brother Chen and got his contact information?"

"Oh, that time." Chang Fei nodded after listening, "Of course I remember, but at that time, I told you not to have high expectations. How did it go? I forgot to ask."

After speaking, he glanced at Ling Yu intentionally or unintentionally.

At that time, Chen Fan had a strained relationship with the headquarters, naturally because of Ling Yu.

"In the end, he rejected me."

Shen Si smiled wryly, "Fortunately, I learned a very important piece of information from him."

"What information?" Shi Tao asked curiously.

"Brother Chen has also cultivated the Emperor's Qi Observation Skill, and his realm is not low. It's very likely he has reached perfection. Honestly, I was half-convinced at the time. Cultivating the Emperor's Qi Observation Skill to perfection? How difficult is that? At the very least, you must have the complete secret manual, right?"

"Indeed, how can you cultivate to perfection without a complete manual?"

"It's good enough not to go astray."

"But it's possible; if he is a once-in-a-thousand-years martial arts genius who can infer the missing parts from the incomplete manual, then it's possible."

"Indeed."

Shen Si nodded heavily and said to the speaker, "Brother Chen's cultivation speed is evident to all of you. How could someone like him have poor comprehension? Or, far beyond us. Maybe he really completed the Emperor's Qi Observation Skill and saw future events involving these people,"

He looked up at the screen in front of him, "They might soon come to cause trouble for us. It could be within these two days. Otherwise, why would Brother Chen, who normally doesn't want to come to the headquarters, suddenly decide to come today?"

"What?"

Ling Yu exclaimed, "Chen Fan is coming?"

His mood immediately turned tense, as if he finally realized why ever since he entered the room, Chang Fei and Shen Si had frequently glanced at him.

Shi Tao also looked at him, showing a hint of concern in his eyes.

Because he clearly remembered, Chen Fan had said he would come to the headquarters soon to question Ling Yu.

If Xiao Hong's matter had nothing to do with the latter, he could apologize and even compensate. But if it was related, he would inevitably cripple him.

And Shi Tao knew very clearly that the whole matter was orchestrated by his beloved apprentice, Ling Yu.

This time, Chen Fan's sudden arrival might indeed be to assist the headquarters against the Song Family, but it's also possible that he's here to settle with Ling Yu.

Although he's still in the Fourth Realm of True Essence, not in the Celestial Human Realm, Shi Tao internally had no absolute confidence he could defeat him.

"Xiaoyu, continue your cultivation back in the cultivation room. Don't come out until I come to find you." He said.

"No!"

Ling Yu clenched his fists like an enraged lion, "Master, don't you believe me? Don't you trust me? I can defeat him!"

Chang Fei and Shen Si both had awkward expressions upon hearing this.

Ling Yu's ability was not even as strong as theirs.

While their strength was far beneath Chen Fan's.

At the very least, the amount of True Qi possessed in the Fourth Realm of True Essence could crush the latter even without using martial arts.

"Master, I don't believe he is really in the Fourth Realm of True Essence!" Ling Yu's emotions gradually spiraled out of control, his voice rising, "It's all a bluff. If you can't do it, how could he achieve it? I won't go; I'm staying here to wait for him. I want to prove I'm stronger than him!!!"

Chang Fei and others felt terribly awkward, feeling like they could dig out a three-bedroom apartment with a bathroom and kitchen on the floor.

Confidence is a good thing.

If a person has no confidence in themselves, it's hard to accomplish anything.

But one shouldn't be overly confident to the point of being oblivious to reality; otherwise, it's not confidence but arrogance.

They estimated that Chen Fan's strength, even if not as powerful as the President, should not be far off.

Not even ten Ling Yus could stand a chance.

Shi Tao sighed and pointed a finger.

Ling Yu's vision went black, and he lost consciousness, falling straight to the ground.

Shi Tao seemingly teleported in front of him, supporting him in time with a guilty expression.

"Xiaoyu, don't blame me. One day you will understand; I'm doing this for your own good."
