Chapter 855 805: No Smoke Without Fire

Eighty-something years old.

What's been distilled is not just a state of mind, but also experience.

Back then, he gave Qin Fan an almost exact number of members.

And now Qin Fan, despite bringing down the background of the Heavenly Dao Institute, has come to ask such a question.

To say it's not suspicious, how could it be possible!

In an instant, Ru Yi seemed to have understood Qin Fan's intentions!

Could it be just a mistake in his intelligence system?

This is impossible!

Having investigated secretly for twenty years, how could such an oversight occur?

"That's right! There's a fish that slipped through the net, and it's a big one!" Qin Fan said solemnly.

"Did you miss something in the cleanup process?" Ru Yi responded anxiously.

"Not mentioning Dark Energy or Transformation Realm, one Middle Stage Divine Realm, three Early Stage Divine Realm, four Late Stage Great Perfection Gang Realm, five Middle Stage Great Perfection Gang Realm! Is this your intelligence data? In the old nest of the Heavenly Dao Institute, these are the ones I killed!" Squinting his eyes and then suddenly opening them, Qin Fan said.

"Correct, after these people were killed by you, could there still be Divine Realm and Gang Realm experts outside the Heavenly Dao Institute?"

A slight blush rose on his face, Ru Yi's voice trembled slightly.

He was not concerned about what Qin Fan would think of him.

But in front of his master, if the intelligence error was indeed proven, he would have no face to show.

"Three days ago, chaos erupted in the Martial Arts World! In Liao Province, Shandong, Western Tibet, Chuanshu, Hainan, martial artists from these five provinces were slaughtered indiscriminately! The positions of these five provinces are precisely north, south, west, east, and central to Huaxia! Judging by this situation, there's no doubt that the other side wants to use a progressive surrounding approach to eradicate and overturn the entire Martial Arts World! Do you know what banner the other side is waving?

Yes, it's the Heavenly Dao Institute! No surprise, I think they want to use this method to force me out, after all, the mysterious master of the Heavenly Dao Institute can't be willing to let this go! What I need to know now is, how many people does the Heavenly Dao Institute still have hidden? Since I want to kill, it must be exterminated thoroughly in one go, I don't want a wave followed by another wave, too troublesome!" Qin Fan said.

"The message from the Heavenly Dao Institute has a team of sixteen Gang Realm continuing for twenty years! Logically speaking, there shouldn't be an intelligence error! Moreover, my people have also infiltrated the old nest of the Heavenly Dao Institute and confirmed their personnel composition from the member list! So the possibility of intelligence failure regarding the Heavenly Dao Institute's personnel is very low! Mr. Qin, have you considered that they might not originally belong to the Heavenly Dao Institute, but rather to that mysterious master? Branded under the Heavenly Dao Institute just to lure out the one behind its destruction?" Ru Yi furrowed his pale brows tightly.

If it wasn't for the member list placed in the Yin Yang Eight Diagram Array's secret room of the Heavenly Dao Institute, Ru Yi perhaps wouldn't dare use such evasive words, but with that member list and strong intuition, he truly doesn't believe it's his intelligence personnel's mistake.

"Ignoring the Guardian Institute, daring to initiate such slaughter, it shows the opponent's strength can't be below Gang Realm! For even these beings to stoop to be lackeys for the owner of the Heavenly Dao Institute, going as far as wantonly slaughtering innocents, it's truly interesting! Whether those people returned from abroad or have been hiding within Huaxia, that's another question! Forget it, since you're confident you didn't make a mistake, I'll believe you!"

After some thought, Qin Fan sighed softly.

No matter if Ru Yi's intelligence system had an oversight, it's unlikely any substantial information could be gleaned from Ru Yi's mouth at this point.

"Young Qin, since they're trying to lure you out, according to the current situation, the slaughter won't stop! Should I have Ru Yi attract attention? Impersonate the one behind the destruction of the Heavenly Dao Institute! I trust you can easily erase them like squashing ants, but if a cornered dog leaps a wall, you have family and friends, better safe than sorry! Have Ru Yi reveal everything about them, then you topple their foundation and uproot them, does that work?"

At this moment, the voice of Six Paths gently echoed.

A calm, serene smile, as if discussing something insignificant.

But indeed, for an Independent Immortal, the current situation, apart from the path back to the Cangqiong Continent, nothing seems to stir him.

"Comrade Six Paths, just to be frank, if push comes to shove, do you think the opponent would believe Ru Yi has that capability? Also, this is my matter; I can handle it, no need for you to worry!" Qin Fan chuckled lightly.

After speaking, he suddenly recalled something and continued, "Oh, have you ever heard of the son of Heavenly Dao?"

"Son of Heavenly Dao?"

Upon hearing.

Six Paths and Elder Ru Yi simultaneously spoke in bewildered astonishment.

But in the next moment.

The bewildered astonishment transformed into rare ridicule on Six Paths' face.

He then said, "Haha, son of Heavenly Dao, who else in this mortal world dares to claim to be the son of Heavenly Dao? These mediocre, ignorant ones, truly dare to claim that!"

"No smoke without fire!" Qin Fan suddenly said.

Ugh—!

These words jolted Six Paths.

He furrowed his brows lightly.

Asked, "Why do you say that, Young Qin?"

"A martial artist that was a Divine Realm master decades ago found a way to peek into Heavenly Dao, he claimed to have glimpsed the advent of the son of Heavenly Dao in the Heavenly Dao Reincarnation! However, his violation of the heavenly law in peeking led to punishment, his Divine Realm Cultivation dropped to Gang Realm, and his eyes sank into eternal blindness in darkness! So, the son of Heavenly Dao might truly exist, and one beyond the mortal world! But till now, I haven't found any clue related to the son of Heavenly Dao!"

Adjusting his demeanor, Qin Fan spoke solemnly.

Towards the so-called son of Heavenly Dao, he once scoffed at the thought.

But as time passed, the mysterious veil of the other side revealed no trace.

On the contrary, an organization named Heavenly Dao Institute emerged.

Mysteriously, this made Qin Fan inherently pay attention.

Without digging out and resolving this unknown hidden figure, Qin Fan could never rest easy about returning from Earth to the Cangqiong Continent.

"Mr. Qin, this—I've also never heard of! But there's one connection, have you noticed, son of Heavenly Dao, Heavenly Dao Institute, do you think there might be a link between the two?" Shock rose from his heart, Ru Yi hurriedly asked.

"I've thought about it too, but deducing any link based on a name is too farfetched! Too many people or organizations have the 'Heavenly Dao' in their name, after all, it vaguely sounds impressive in many ways, naturally appealing, isn't it?" Qin Fan said.

"Indeed, rest assured Mr. Qin, I'll immediately instruct the intelligence system to vigorously pursue the son of Heavenly Dao! If there's any slightest trace, I will report it to you!" Ru Yi responded.

"It's unlikely you'll be able to dig him out! Seems like he must reveal himself! My intuition tells me, soon, soon, he'll make an appearance, ha—!"

With a sinisterly dignified smile, standing atop the mountain, Qin Fan gazed towards the distant winding rugged mountain trails.
