Chapter 1216 After the Fact

"Don't listen to their nonsense!" the old Daoist urged.

"He's just trying to trick you!"

Chen Fan's gaze fell upon the old Daoist. "You old geezer, are you hiding something from me?"

The old Daoist was startled, then waved his hand. "No... no, nothing of the sort!"

"How could I trick you?"

Chen Fan stared at the old Daoist, feeling that the man was hiding something, otherwise he wouldn't have been so eager to explain.

The two of them spoke back and forth, unconcerned about eavesdroppers.

However, Gu Liang and the others listened, utterly bewildered, not understanding what they were talking about!

What was going on?

Did something feel off?

But they couldn't quite pinpoint what it was!

The old Daoist's face was now beaded with a bit of sweat...

"Old man, are you feeling hot?"

The old Daoist paused for a moment. "No... no!"

"Then why are you sweating?"

The old Daoist explained, "It's... it's nothing, perhaps the weather is just too hot!"

"You old fossil, look at the sky! It's overcast, damn it!" Chen Fan did not give the old Daoist any quarter.

At this point, most of the elders from the Gu Sect were completely confused. What was this fellow talking about?

They exchanged bewildered glances.

One moment, he seemed ready to tear their vehicle apart, and the next, his demeanor had completely changed.

This...

The old Daoist was now feeling awkward. After a moment of hesitation, he said, "I'll tell you after this is settled!"

Chen Fan felt something was amiss. "Stop with the nonsense, just tell me where Kunlong Island is!"

"As long as you tell me where Kunlong Island is, I'll dig up this entire Gu Sect three feet deep!"

As he spoke, Chen Fan, with imposing momentum, unleashed a palm strike to the side.

The surging internal energy shattered more than a dozen trees nearby.

This strike sent a tremor through everyone present, their hearts pounding with fear... it was a truly eye-opening display!

"This..."

"This this..."

Gu Lin and Gu Xi's eyes were nearly bulging out of their sockets.

The strength of this Chen Fan before them was far beyond what they could currently perceive!

The old Daoist, his heart racing, quickly said, "I... I'll tell you..."

Before he could finish, Gu Liang's voice rang out, "Kunlong Island is west of the great sea, east of the mainland, directly to the east!"

"It is an unnamed islet!"

Chen Fan's expression froze upon hearing this.

As expected, these old fellows from the Gu Sect knew!

The old Daoist spat in disgust. "Gu Liang, you old dog, not only did you steal my position as sect leader, but you're even stealing this piece of information?"

Gu Liang's haste in speaking out was entirely due to the terror instilled by Chen Fan's previous palm strike.

He understood clearly that he absolutely could not confront Chen Fan directly; to do so would be a path to certain death!

Chen Fan, being a shrewd individual, understood the implication. "It seems you people of the Gu Sect know a lot about this Kunlong Island."

Gu Liang responded, "You are indeed a wise man. When it comes to Kunlong Island, it is indeed only known to us in the Gu Sect, or rather, all those who previously knew of Kunlong Island have met a grim end!"

"My companion here, that old dog beside you, and I are merely two lucky survivors!"

So that was how it was.

Chen Fan understood and gave the old Daoist a meaningful glance. "Old man, we'll settle our score later!"

The old Daoist offered a forced smile. "Don't be angry. Consider that a warm-up just now. Also! I know another secret that this old dog Gu Liang doesn't know!"
