After listening to Chen Fan’s words, Shi Tao’s face remained expressionless and he asked, "Chen Fan, do you know who you will face on the day you arrive at the headquarters?"

"Of course, I know."

Chen Fan gazed at him, "When that day comes, as Ling Yu’s master, you definitely won’t stand by and do nothing, right?"

"Yes."

Shi Tao sighed, "I know you want to use the Soul-Searching Martial Arts to make Ling Yu tell the truth, but you should also know that those who are affected by the Soul-Searching Technique suffer permanent mental trauma. Although some Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures might compensate,

they can’t measure the damage to one’s perception and future achievements. Moreover, you want to cripple him. Whether it’s public or private, I can’t let you do that."

"Then there’s nothing more to discuss." 𝑓𝑟𝑒𝘦𝓌𝑒𝑏𝑛𝑜𝘷𝑒𝘭.𝒸𝘰𝑚

Chen Fan shook his head, "In any case, not killing him is already my greatest concession. Perhaps Xiao Hong wasn’t acting under his orders, but it was because of him that this series of events happened. He only has himself to blame."

"..."

Shi Tao was at a loss for words.

Ling Yu knew about this matter, and that blame also falls on him.

If it wasn’t for him informing Ling Yu, how would Ling Yu have known?

But precisely because of this, he couldn’t just watch Ling Yu get into trouble.

"Is there really no room for negotiation?"

Shi Tao softened his tone, "Is there no other way besides crippling Ling Yu that would make you drop this matter? For example, obtaining some Supreme Martial Arts manuals? A Supreme Martial Arts manual? Or perhaps Elder Wang’s guidance?"

"Elder Wang’s guidance?"

Chen Fan frowned.

His intuition told him this person might be extraordinary.

"Your strength is quite profound. You indeed have reached the point where you should know certain things."

Shi Tao paused before, after sensing a moment, continuing, "In the Jiangnan Sub-district Martial Arts Association, I’m not actually the strongest. The strongest one is Elder Wang."

"How powerful is he?"

Chen Fan asked curiously.

"Is living for a thousand years considered powerful?"

Shi Tao countered.

"Lived for a thousand years?"

Shock appeared in Chen Fan’s eyes.

"I reacted the same way when I first met this person."

A subtle smile crossed Shi Tao’s face.

To be honest, from just now till now, Chen Fan’s composed demeanor had left him somewhat bewildered.

It appears that, after all, he’s still a regular person.

At least, when it comes to emotions.

"I know you are curious about this person’s identity. I can also tell you some things; even more, if you promise to let this issue go."

"Then I’d rather not hear it."

Chen Fan decisively shook his head.

After all, with increasing strength, there were always things that he would eventually find out.

Of course, if there’s such a powerful person in the headquarters, it might affect him somewhat.

Shi Tao chuckled, as if he had anticipated it, and continued, "Elder Wang is a survivor from the last Heaven and Earth Tribulation."

"!"

Chen Fan’s eyes widened.

This was the second time he had heard the term Heaven and Earth Tribulation.

The first time was in a few cryptic words from an old man.

"It seems you’ve already heard of the Heaven and Earth Tribulation."

Shi Tao’s eyes revealed a hint of surprise, then nodded, "It’s not a secret; many in the Awakened Association know about it, and some people in the Martial Arts Association also know."

"What is the Heaven and Earth Tribulation?"

Chen Fan asked.

"It’s hard to explain with just a few words, and even Elder Wang doesn’t know much. Simply put, one day, spiritual qi appeared between heaven and earth. Both humans and animals, birds, and even plants could absorb this spiritual qi and become stronger."

"In Elder Wang’s time, there were demon ghosts. At the same time, some masters wandered the world, eliminating demons and guarding the way. Later, for some unknown reasons, the spiritual qi gradually dissipated. Those masters, despite their great powers, would eventually face death." Shi Tao sighed.

It was unclear whether he lamented those masters’ destinies or felt sorrow for his own future.

"But this Elder Wang lived for a thousand years." Chen Fan remarked.

"Yes, Elder Wang’s strength is formidable, and his cultivation technique is also quite special."

"What cultivation technique?" Although Chen Fan had some guesses, he asked deliberately.

"Sacred Heart Technique."

Shi Tao glanced at him, "A Supreme-level Technique."
