The meaning of Cheng Xiaofan's words was very clear, implying that no matter what Thunder Tiger's overt or covert identity was, in front of him, he was just an ordinary person.
He wasn't qualified to drink my premium golden tea!
If these words had come from anyone else, Thunder Tiger would have ordered his bodyguards to tie the person up, beat them severely, and then throw them into a mountain ravine to feed the wolves.
But!
Facing this Cheng Xiaofan, Thunder Tiger dared not entertain such a thought.
For years, he had been tormented by his hidden ailment, living a life worse than death.
He still needed this divine doctor to save him.
"Divine Doctor, you are absolutely right!"
Thunder Tiger plastered a smile on his face and said, "Just by smelling the aroma of this tea, I know it's not a tea that ordinary people can drink!"
He then humbly asked Cheng Xiaofan in a low voice, "Divine Doctor, what method can you use to help me cure my hidden ailment?"
Cheng Xiaofan smiled slightly, feigning mystery, and said, "Since I am a divine doctor, of course I have a way to help you cure it."
"However, my method of treatment is somewhat unusual. It's best to find a quiet place, without any idlers present, so that I can proceed with your treatment!"
Thunder Tiger chuckled, "Alright, Divine Doctor. My study is the quietest place. Normally, no one enters without my permission."
Cheng Xiaofan nodded and said, "After I finish this cup of tea, you can take me to your study to have a look!" Saying this, he tilted his head back and drank the tea in one gulp.
Thunder Tiger did not dare to delay and immediately led Cheng Xiaofan to his study.
Cheng Xiaofan looked around and said, "This environment is indeed good. However, I've discovered a serious problem. Your manor seems to have a problem!"
"What problem?" Thunder Tiger asked.
Cheng Xiaofan said unhurriedly, "The problem isn't within your manor, but around this island."
"Chairman Lei, are there eighteen bronze coffins buried at the bottom of the lake surrounding this island?"
Hearing this, Thunder Tiger's expression changed. He asked, "How did you know there are eighteen bronze coffins buried at the bottom of the lake around this island?"
Cheng Xiaofan chuckled, "I can see it from the energy fluctuations on the island. These eighteen bronze coffins have suppressed the island's feng shui, turning it into a dead land!"
"From a certain perspective, you are the lord of this island. If this island becomes a dead land, you, as the island lord, will inevitably be implicated."
"And looking at the color of your face, there are three dark lines horizontally. This indicates a life-threatening danger!"
His words made Thunder Tiger tremble all over.
Indeed, eighteen bronze coffins were buried at the bottom of the lake surrounding the island.
However, these eighteen bronze coffins did not contain people, but the corpses of demonic beasts.
As for what these demonic beasts looked like, even he didn't know.
Hundreds of years ago, the founder of the Hidden Blackmen used eighteen bronze coffins, filled with the corpses of those demonic beasts, and buried them at the bottom of the lake.
Long ago, this island was the base of the Hidden Blackmen sect.
One thing Thunder Tiger was very clear about was that the eighteen bronze coffins were an absolute secret. On this island, no one knew about them except him.
"Divine Doctor, who exactly are you?" As the true leader of the Hidden Blackmen, considering the mission he carried, his expression suddenly sank, and he pressed Cheng Xiaofan.
At the same time, he seemed to have finally come to his senses. The sudden appearance of this young man was truly abnormal.
He was certain that he had never invited this young man.
Cheng Xiaofan chuckled and said, "Let me tell you the truth. I have no need to hide my name or surname. I am precisely the Cheng Xiaofan you are looking for!"
"You are Cheng Xiaofan?"
Thunder Tiger was stunned. "Where is You Xiaoren?"
Cheng Xiaofan smiled and said, "You Xiaoren and her subordinates are all dead!"
"Thunder Tiger, more accurately, I should call you Rell De. Like You Xiaoren, you are both people from Da Budian. She was nominally the new leader of the Hidden Blackmen, but you are the true mastermind behind the Hidden Blackmen!"
"My coming to this island this time has finally made me understand why you Hidden Blackmen are trying by all means to obtain the earth-element Golden Core cultivated by Ye Shisan!"
"Because with Ye Shisan's earth-element cultivation Golden Core, you can awaken the demonic beasts in these eighteen bronze coffins!"
"Once these demonic beasts awaken, they can help you search for the oases hidden by ancient barriers in the desert!"
Rell De's face was as dark as if it could drip water.
He stared at Cheng Xiaofan for a long time, as if appraising a prehistoric monster.
"How do you know all this?" Rell De asked with utter astonishment.
Cheng Xiaofan smiled slightly and said, "Various runes are carved on these eighteen bronze coffins buried at the bottom of the lake."
"The incantations contained within these runes have revealed these truths."
Rell De asked with even greater disbelief, "There are mechanisms on the eighteen buried bronze coffins, and no one can approach them. How did you discover the runes carved on them?"
Cheng Xiaofan laughed aloud, "Rell De, you are truly foolish. Do I have to be close to the bronze coffins to see the runes on them?"
"Cheng Xiaofan, I truly underestimated you,"
Rell De's mouth twitched a few times. "I never expected that the secrets the Hidden Blackmen have hidden in China for hundreds of years would be seen through by you at a glance."
"That's right, those eighteen bronze coffins contain eighteen demonic beasts. Only the Golden Core of a Chinese earth-element cultivator can awaken them."
"As long as they can awaken, they can find the legendary prehistoric oases of Earth in the eastern desert."
"According to records in some of our Western texts, this oasis preserves all sorts of strange plants. Whoever obtains these plants first can find the secret to eternal life from them!"
"For hundreds of years, we have established the Hidden Blackmen sect in China and have been shouldering this mysterious mission!"
Cheng Xiaofan's expression instantly turned grim.
He said, "Rell De, no matter what mission you are undertaking, in order to find earth-element cultivators, you have caused many innocent lives to be lost in the land of China."
"Tell me, how do you intend to repay this blood debt?"
Rell De sneered, "Cheng Xiaofan, to achieve this mission, we Hidden Blackmen can resort to any means against anyone. This has always been our practice!"
Cheng Xiaofan's expression sank again.
He said, "From today onwards, because of my appearance, the Hidden Blackmen sect, established by foreigners in China, will completely disappear from this land!"
Rell De's face immediately became ferocious.
He said with a cold expression, "Cheng Xiaofan, I know you are very capable, but you must understand that the influence of the Hidden Blackmen has already infiltrated and expanded into various fields in your land. It's not something you can just say will be wiped out!"
