But he was also the most suitable candidate.
Chen Fan saw clearly that this person wasn't unaware of what had just happened; he simply didn't want to report it back in his own words!
Because doing so would be extremely risky!
And how could the risk be minimized?
Naturally, by being merely a messenger!
Deeply understanding this person's intentions, and also fearing that he might not articulate the matter clearly, Chen Fan, after hearing his words, first fell into a brief silence. Then, he organized his thoughts and instructed the feigning-death individual.
"Say that if he doesn't see me within thirty minutes, I will..."
After listening to Chen Fan's instructions, the feigning-death individual prepared to leave.
However, Chen Fan raised his hand, signaling him to wait.
"I will use this small knife to dismember Ye Yunchen piece by piece!" Chen Fan said, picking up a knife from the ground, much to the feigning-death individual's bewilderment.
"Now, I will slice off a piece of his flesh and take it back for his backer to see. This way, they won't shed tears until they see the coffin."
With that, Chen Fan acted decisively, slicing off a piece of skin and flesh, complete with a small tattoo pattern, from Ye Yunchen's arm!
Ye Yunchen, who had been on the verge of death and losing consciousness, cried out in pain!
"Ah! Hiss—It hurts! So painful!"
Looking at Ye Yunchen's pained expression, Chen Fan gave him a cold smile and, while speaking, handed the bloody piece of skin and flesh with the tattoo pattern to the person who was faking death.
"You feel pain now? Ye Yunchen, when your master dies because of you later, how much will you hurt?"
Upon hearing Chen Fan's cold words, the person faking death dared not linger. Grabbing the piece of tattooed flesh, he hurriedly fled.
"Chen Tianjiao! You are a damn scoundrel!" Ye Yunchen, already engulfed in pain, cursed Chen Fan again with a voice as weak as a mosquito's buzz.
But Chen Fan's objective was almost achieved, and he couldn't be bothered to respond.
Therefore, faced with Ye Yunchen's curses, Chen Fan merely sneered dismissively and replied coldly.
"I am a scoundrel? Compared to your actions, I am practically a Bodhisattva."
With that, Chen Fan walked a few steps away, no longer able to hear Ye Yunchen's faint and powerless mosquito-like buzz.
At the southernmost point of Tianfu Island, there stood a magnificent and imposing castle.
This was the headquarters of the Tiandao Organization.
However, this place was extremely difficult to find; almost no one outside the Tiandao Organization's internal members could locate it.
And the person who had been feigning death outside Tianfu Yaju earlier was now rushing back to the Tiandao Organization's headquarters.
The matter was not complicated, and the feigning-death individual had already received instructions from Chen Fan. Reporting the situation to the Dao Master of the Tiandao Organization was merely repeating what Chen Fan had told him.
Chen Fan's carefully crafted narrative was based on facts.
After listening, the Dao Master of the Tiandao Organization clenched his fists in rage, gritting his teeth!
"What… Chen'er has actually been..."
As the Tiandao Dao Master seethed with anger, the feigning-death individual, following Chen Fan's instructions, spoke with feigned timidity.
"Dao Master, that person also said that if you don't arrive within three minutes, he will..."
Seeing the person stammer and hesitate, the Tiandao Dao Master frowned and asked coldly.
"He will what?"
"He will… dismember Young Master Ye piece by piece. This here contains a piece of Young Master Ye's flesh..." the feigning-death individual said with a trembling, self-deprecating voice, presenting a wooden box to the Tiandao Dao Master.
This wooden box had originally been used to hold the Golden Divine Tree.
Now, it was being used by the feigning-death individual to hold the piece of tattooed flesh belonging to Ye Yunchen.
Upon hearing the person's words, the Tiandao Dao Master's expression became uncertain and grim.
When the Tiandao Dao Master opened the wooden box and saw the bloody piece of flesh inside, his heart felt as if it were being chopped by countless steel knives and stabbed by countless steel needles!
This piece of flesh clearly belonged to his beloved disciple, Ye Yunchen!
At this moment, the Tiandao Dao Master's heart bled, and he roared in anguish!
"Ah! My Chen'er!"
Clenching his teeth tightly, the Tiandao Dao Master rose from his throne, placing the wooden box aside.
He then walked a few steps forward and stood in the hall, addressing his core subordinates who stood on either side.
"This is Nanyang! This is Tianfu Island! This is my Tiandao's territory! Yet… someone dares to be so audacious as to challenge our authority! What do you say we should do!"
As soon as the Tiandao Dao Master finished speaking, everyone in the hall shouted in unison!
"Kill! Kill! Kill!"
"Good! Kill!"
The Tiandao Dao Master nodded with satisfaction and immediately issued an order!
"All Tiandao disciples, all Grandmaster-level experts within the sect, follow me immediately to Tianfu Yaju! We will tear Chen Tianjiao apart, limb by limb!"
...
Soon, the Tiandao Dao Master, along with his subordinates, arrived at the entrance of Tianfu Yaju, seething with rage.
At this spot, the ground was covered in a river of blood, and countless corpses lay strewn about.
Upon arrival, the Tiandao Dao Master's gaze immediately fell upon his beloved disciple, Ye Yunchen, lying on the ground with his eyes wide open, clearly on the verge of death!
"Chen'er!" the Tiandao Dao Master cried out with concern, wanting to rush to Ye Yunchen's side to check his injuries.
However, before he could take a step, his attention was drawn to a person standing beside Ye Yunchen, with their back to him.
The person spoke in a calm tone, saying, "There are quite a few people here, and it seems your strength is not weak."
What this person said was not wrong.
Ye Yunchen was the Tiandao Dao Master's most cherished disciple. Now that he was in such a state, the Tiandao Dao Master naturally brought more than enough men and was determined to rescue Ye Yunchen at all costs!
Therefore, the Tiandao Organization had mobilized almost its entire force; all capable fighters had come!
At this moment, the Tiandao Dao Master harbored an intense hatred for Chen Fan, who had beaten his Chen'er into such a condition.
Now, apart from the person with their back to him, there was no one else in this place.
It was highly likely that the person with their back turned was the culprit who had harmed Chen'er.
