Above the cliff.

In the colorless and odorless air, a wave of water ripples suddenly appeared.

At first, it was still the size of a palm. In the blink of an eye, it was around the basin, followed immediately by a figure wearing a simple robe. Suddenly he got out of it.

“Stab it!”

The sound of tearing cloth was heard.

Immediately afterwards, a vague roar sounded from the inner space of the ripples, and disappeared together with the ripples.

"It's so dangerous. I was so close that my life would be in danger."

Mr. Wang wiped the sweat from his forehead, turned his head and looked at his half-bitten clothes, and shuddered.

Had he moved slower, what would have been bitten off would not have been a piece of clothing, but a leg.

“Fortunately, getting this thing makes the trip worthwhile.”

As he spoke, a long plant root appeared in his hand.

The size of a palm, with a white surface and a light fragrance that makes people want to take a bite after smelling it.

This thing is called Tianluo Gen. It is an extremely rare treasure that can only be found in the secret realm just now. Even for warriors in the heaven and human realm, this thing is of great benefit, not to mention, for true essence Realm warrior.

“If Chen Fan could fully absorb the medicinal power of this treasure, the energy in his body would definitely increase a lot. What a pity.”

Lao Wang thought of what he had just experienced.

There are several Tianluo roots in the medicine garden. If they can all be picked, Chen Fan may be able to directly break through to the Heavenly Realm.

However, if he had picked one more, the monsters that smelled his scent would have come to tear them apart and swallow them.

“Let’s come again when we have the opportunity in the future.”

He put away the treasure with a smile on his face.

His departure this time, counting the time, is probably only one day.

I don’t know if anything happened in Anshan City, but there are some awakened people stationed in the city, so there shouldn’t be any big problems.

Suddenly, he thought of something and took out his mobile phone.

His expression changed slightly when he saw several missed calls on his mobile phone.

The reason for the call from Chen Fan is not difficult to guess. It should be that he didn't see him all morning, so he called.

But Shi Tao actually called, several times.

There is obviously something important.

“Could it be that something happened to Shi Tao?”

Lao Wang’s smile froze on his face.

He knew the latter's character very well. It was not a very important matter and he would not make several calls in a row.

“It seems that we have to contact Chen Fan later. Let’s ask Shi Tao first what happened?”

He selected a missed call and dialed it back.

Just a few minutes ago, the headquarters of the Jiangnan Martial Arts Association.

The large conference room on the second floor was crowded with people. At a glance, there were at least several thousand people.

At the entrance, people were pouring in continuously.

"so many people!"

Some people just came in and were shocked when they saw the scene inside.

“What’s going on? You suddenly called us for a meeting?”

“Yeah, I’m doing an experiment.”

Many depressed voices sounded.

"I don't know, but this meeting was convened by the president. It must be announcing some major event. A little experiment is nothing. After the meeting, we can go back and do it again." Someone said.

Compared to doing experiments, he wanted to participate in the meeting, because the President is not something that most people just dream about.

"Too."

After hearing this, many people nodded.

But there are also some smarter people who feel that something is wrong.

Since the establishment of the headquarters so many years ago, the president held a plenary meeting several years ago. At that time, there were not so many people in the headquarters, and the Jiangnan Martial Arts Association was not as famous as it is now.

With the development in the past few years, the headquarters has grown day by day, and the president is basically busy with cultivation. Even if there is anything important, he will send it via email.

But now, an all-staff meeting is held, but it happens to be at the critical moment when the beast tide breaks out.

“Could it be that the beast tide is coming soon?” Someone made a sound in their heart.

Soon, the beast tide will come to Jiangnan City?

Finally, everyone in the headquarters is basically here.

In the large conference room, low voices of discussion resounded.

Suddenly, there was a sound of footsteps, and the noise around him immediately disappeared.

Everyone looked at Shi Tao slowly walking to the stage with reverence on their faces.

Even though Mr. Tang and others had their opinions, they didn’t say anything at this time.

"good afternoon everyone."

Shi Tao looked at the crowd, "I called you here today because I have something very important. I want to tell you that this is a very bad thing. I hope everyone will be mentally prepared before hearing it."

In an instant, the smiles on the faces of thousands of people in the venue disappeared.

No? Bad things?

Could it be said that a tide of beasts is really coming?

However, they were more or less mentally prepared for this situation.

The eyes of Shen Shen and others in the audience were red when they heard this.

Nearly a minute later, when everyone began to lose their patience, Shi Tao finally spoke, "What I want to announce is that from now on, the Jiangnan Martial Arts Association will be disbanded."

There was silence at first, and then bursts of exclamations broke out.

“What? The association is disbanded?”

“Jiangnan Martial Arts Association is disbanded?”

“Did I hear it wrong? Or is that what the president said?”

“How can it be disbanded? Why should it be disbanded? Isn’t this too sudden?”

Everyone said it was difficult to accept.

"Shi Tao, what are you talking about?" Mr. Tang stood up, pointed at Shi Tao and said, "Say it again if you have the ability!"

“Old Tang! Don’t be impulsive.”

Several old men around him saw this and quickly pushed him down to his seat.

After all, Shi Tao is also the president, so just yell at him in private. It is not appropriate for you to do so in this situation.

However, they do need an explanation for this matter.

The Jiangnan Martial Arts Association has been able to develop to the point where it is today, and Shi Tao, as the president, is indeed indispensable. However, these people have also contributed. The Jiangnan Martial Arts Association is not just an association for Shi Tao, but also an association for everyone here.

How can he say that it will be disbanded just by saying it is disbanded?

“Shi Tao, Old Tang has a bad temper, I apologize to you on his behalf,” Mr. Qin stood up and looked at Shi Tao, “But you must give us an explanation as to why you want to dissolve the association.”

“Yes, we must be given an explanation.”

Several other old men all agreed.

Others in the scene, intimidated by Shi Tao's authority, did not dare to boo, but their eyes were fixed on the latter.

Shi Tao was silent for a moment, and finally said: "The association has made some enemies. Their strength is very strong. I'm afraid they will come to us soon. If you stay, you will be in danger."

After the words fell, everyone looked at each other in shock.

In fact, they also heard about some things that happened in the association hall in the morning.

After all, how could you not notice such a big movement?

The entire association should be disbanded just because of this incident?

"What kind of enemy? Shi Tao, please speak clearly!" Mr. Tang said angrily: "So what if they are stronger? Our Jiangnan Martial Arts Association is not a vegetarian! If one comes, we will kill one. If two come, we will Just kill a pair!"

“That’s right, who cares who they are? They come to make trouble on our territory and we are still afraid of them? The worst is, the fish will die and the net will be broken!”

“Fight them!”

In an instant, the crowd was indignant.

In their hearts, Jiangnan Martial Arts Association is not only a place to work, eat and earn money, but also their home.

Even for many people, this is their home, where they eat, drink, and have diarrhea.

Now, just because an enemy is coming, he has to abandon his home and run away like a bereaved dog. Is this something that a person with backbone can do?

Chang Fei and several people in the audience were moved by the atmosphere in front of them and burst into tears.

As expected, there are very few people like Ling Yu who try their best to get in and out. The vast majority of people are aligned with the association.

Shi Tao's eyes also showed a look of relief. He stretched out his hands to signal everyone to quiet down, and said slowly: "I'm really happy that everyone can say this, and I can understand how everyone feels at the moment. It’s just that this situation is extraordinary.”

“You tell me, how is this unusual?” Mr. Tang was extremely angry.

Shi Tao glanced at him and said with a wry smile: "In a day or two, at least ten warriors of the Heavenly Realm will come here."

“What! Ten heavenly and human warriors!”

In an instant, there was silence in the entire conference room.

President, did he say that on purpose?

Ten warriors in the Heavenly Realm? What is this concept? The entire Jiangnan Martial Arts Association only has one Heavenly Realm warrior as its president, right?

This is already very rare. You must know that among the other four martial arts associations, there are still two or three who do not have Heavenly Realm warriors.

Ten of them came at once, and even if the president had three heads and six arms, he couldn't stop them.

“It’s at least.”

Shi Tao's voice sounded again, "Nearly half of these ten Heavenly Realm warriors are in the middle stage of Heavenly Realm. I don't have a 10% chance of winning against any of them."

When everyone present heard this, their faces turned pale again.

Half of them are warriors in the middle stage of the Heavenly Realm?

how so?

How did the association attract so many powerful enemies?

“Shi Tao, you, what on earth did you do?” Mr. Tang’s voice also trembled, “What, how did you attract so many enemies?”

“Mr. Tang, it’s a long story.”

Shi Tao sighed, "And what's happened has already happened. It's useless to talk about it now. But to be honest, this incident did happen because of me. If I could... forget it."

He shook his head and looked at everyone, "It's getting late. Everyone, hurry up and pack your things. It's best to leave tonight. Don't tell others that you are from the association after you go out. Otherwise, you are likely to be criticized. Our involvement.”

“President!”

Everyone was stunned, not knowing what to do.

They really want to stay and work with the association to tide over the difficulties.

However, according to what the president said, the enemy who came this time was too strong, surpassing ten warriors in the Heavenly Realm!

These people, in front of each other, are no different from ants on the ground, they will be trampled to death in minutes.

But do you want to leave here like this?

“President, I won’t leave!”

Someone stood up and said with firm eyes: "The association is my home, and I will never leave here even if I die!"

"well said!"

Someone stood up again, "Isn't it just death? There is nothing to be afraid of. I, Ge Yun, swear to live and die with the association!"

“Live and die with the association!”

One call and a hundred responses.

The sound waves became louder and louder, forming an echo that reverberated continuously in the conference room.

Shi Tao suddenly burst into tears.

After the shouting stopped, he said: "I understand everyone's thoughts, but this situation is different from any other time. I don't want your sacrifices to be in vain. Many of you, You have your own family and people who care about you. Think about it, what would they think if something happened to you? Who should they rely on in the future?"

After the words fell, many people slowly lowered their raised hands.

Yes, they are the backbone of the family. If something happens to them, how will parents, wives and children survive in this world?

But there are also many people who are alone, but their eyes are still firm.

Shi Tao glanced at them and said: "Actually, the Jiangnan Martial Arts Association will not be disbanded, because each of you has the spirit of the association, tenacity and unyielding. Even if one day, the association is gone, you can If we live with the spirit of the association, the association will always exist.”

Everyone was stunned.

Can it still be like this?

But what the president said does make some sense.

“As the president of the Jiangnan Martial Arts Association, I order you to go back, pack your things, and leave here.”

“President…”

“President…”

Everyone didn’t know what to say.

The eyes were full of confusion and helplessness.

A few minutes ago, they were still doing the work within their respective positions. A few minutes later, they were told that the entire association was gone.

Where should they go from here?

“Go.”

Shi Tao sighed, finally unable to bear it, "Although this time, the association is indeed in danger, but it is not completely hopeless. If I can still survive by then, then I promise like everyone here, The Jiangnan Martial Arts Association will definitely be re-established, and every one of you is welcome back at the door."

“Really, really?”

Upon hearing this, everyone’s eyes brightened.

“President, are you telling the truth? Will you really establish another association in the future?”

“Of course, I promise.”

Shi Tao nodded.

“Okay, we believe in the president, and we believe that you will be able to survive this crisis this time.”

“Yes, we will pray in our hearts, we are waiting for this day!”

“President, no matter what, you must get through this crisis!” (End of this chapter)
