At noon, the Jiangnan Martial Arts Association Headquarters was somewhat quiet.

In the hall, there were sparse shadows of people, probably all busy having lunch.

Until the arrival of a group broke the atmosphere.

"Where is Shen Si? Have him come out to see me!"

Song Wu glanced around angrily as he spoke.

Thinking about what happened a few days ago made him furious. To think he had trusted the other party so much, only to be treated like a fool. If it weren't for the mysterious person's call later, he would still be in the dark about the situation.

The staff at the headquarters looked at each other in confusion.

"Are you all deaf? Or do you need me to use some means?" Song Wu's face showed a hint of cruelty.

"Who are you to act so wantonly in my territory?"

Suddenly, a voice rang out.

A group of people slowly walked out.

"President!"

"It's the President!"

The staff in the hall became excited upon seeing him.

"Shi Tao!"

Seeing the leading person, Song Wu was shocked, as were Song Tian and the others behind him, displaying looks of astonishment in their eyes.

What's going on?

Wasn't it said that this Shi person went out on a task and wouldn't be back for a while? What's happening now?

The arrivals were indeed Shi Tao, Chang Fei, Shen Si, and others, but Chen Fan was not among them.

"What? Surprised to see me here?"

Shi Tao's gaze brushed past him and landed on the silver-haired elder behind, sensing an aura of extreme danger from the other party, making him more vigilant than ever.

"What's happening?"

Song Tian looked at Song Wu, frowning as he asked.

Wasn't it said that there was only one Celestial Realm Martial Artist here now?

"Big brother, I…"

Song Wu was at a loss for words.

Shi Tao's appearance directly disrupted their plans, as the original plan only accounted for Elder Wang at the headquarters, a single Celestial Realm Martial Artist.

Although the Seventh Ancestor was slightly inferior in realm, he could definitely hold back the other party. Previously, the Seventh Ancestor even indicated that he could single-handedly deal with Chen Fan while holding off Elder Wang.

But with Shi Tao showing up so quickly, it seemed as if they had anticipated their arrival.

With this, the Jiangnan Martial Arts Association now had two Celestial Realm Martial Artists.

In a two-versus-one situation, the Seventh Ancestor would not only find it hard to gain any advantage but would also risk injury. Even if they ultimately killed Chen, it wouldn't be worth it.

Of course, there was another way, which was to ask Carl for help. This guy's strength after transformation was not much weaker than the Seventh Ancestor.

However, they invited him to watch, not to be a henchman. If they really asked him to help, the Song Family would have to pay a high price.

"Bunch of useless idiots!"

Song Daoquan snorted coldly. If not for these juniors being from his own family, he would have slapped them to death.

He looked at Shi Tao and asked condescendingly, "You are Shi Tao, the kid who recently broke through to the Celestial Human Realm?"

Hearing the elder's words, the martial artists present felt indignant.

"Hey, what are you saying? Who are you calling a kid? This is our President; show some respect!"

"Shut up!"

Shi Tao shouted, cutting off that person's words. Then he looked at everyone present and said, "This matter has nothing to do with you all. Leave now. No one is to enter without my order."

"But..."

"Hurry up and leave!"

Chang Fei shouted.

If a fight broke out, the destruction of the headquarters could happen in the blink of an eye.

Everyone then put down what they were doing and left in a hurry.

"Greetings, Elder Song."

Shi Tao bowed and smiled, "I am the junior you mentioned, who recently broke through to the Celestial Realm. What brings you here, Elder?"

"What brings me here?"

Song Daoquan snorted coldly. "Someone from my Song Family was killed by you, wasn't he?"

As he finished speaking, the gazes of Song Tian and the others fixed firmly on Shen Si.

Although Song Gang didn't die at Shen Si's hands, he was not blameless.

If the other party denied it, they weren't afraid as they had a witness.

But what they did not expect was that Shen Si would admit it himself.

"Yes, Song Gang's death is indeed related to us. It was a martial artist from our association who killed him. However, this matter cannot be blamed on us; it was Song Gang who brought it upon himself."

Shen Si sighed.

The reason for admitting it was simple.

Since Jiang Tao had already been captured by the other party, denying it would be meaningless. It was better to admit it openly.

"How bold!"

Song Wu was furious, pointing at Shen Si. "You dare to say my brother's death was brought upon himself? Do you dare say that again?"

"Why not?"

Shen Si stood tall and said, "Did you not learn the whole story from Jiang Tao after capturing him? On that day, those Feng Country people not only took our Spatial Rings but also intended to kill us to silence us. Thanks to Brother Chen's appearance, our lives were saved.

But at that moment, your Song Family's Song Gang arrived. After learning the whole story, not only did he not stand up for us as fellow Yan Country people but also sided with the Feng Country people and wanted to kill us all. Is this something Yan Country people would do? Worshipping foreigners and distorting the truth, wasn't his death brought upon himself?"

"You!"

Song Wu opened his mouth but didn't know what to say for a moment.
