<h4>Chapter 1134: Chapter 1141: Shocking Secret (2)</h4>


    Ling Gengqiu’s escape made the Ling Family believe that Ling Gengqiu had a guilty conscience, thus further solidifying their suspicions.


    A monster who has lived for two hundred years deserves attention. So, the Ling Family spared no effort to find out the secret to Ling Gengqiu’s longevity. After investing countless time and effort, the Ling Family finally had considerable sess.


    Whether it was the identity Ling Gengqiu is using now or the ones he used before, the Ling Family found them out, including all his descendants, who were also recorded by the Ling Family.


    Decadester, the Ling Family, who had been carefully nning their search, finally got a grasp on Ling Gengqiu’s movements.


    Unfortunately, although they saw Ling Gengqiu, he still managed to escape. However, the meticulous Ling Family had already noticed that even after decades, Ling Gengqiu’s appearance hadn’t changed much.


    Simply put, time hadn’t left any marks on him.


    After that incident, Ling Gengqiupletely disappeared and never appeared again. However, the Ling Family did not give up searching for him, and this secret was passed down from generation to generation until today.


    Once Ling Chen had mostly digested this secret, Ling Tao put down his teacup and continued, "When you used to confront the God Organization, you should have noticed that they conducted a lot of experiments using human bodies. In your opinion, those bodies were ordinary people, but I want to tell you that they were not ordinary people. On the contrary, their identity is the same as ours, they are all descendants of Ling Gengqiu. As I mentioned earlier, Ling Gengqiu had too many illegitimate children. After hundreds of years of propagation, there are very many descendants with Ling Gengqiu’s blood. Otherwise, do you think the God Organization would randomly choose someone for experimentation?"


    "ording to the information and materials we have, we believe Ling Gengqiu’s genes are quite different from ordinary people. Moreover, our researchers specte that Ling Gengqiu likely has a rare healing ability. It is precisely because of this that he can continue to have offspring despite sustaining physical damage."


    Ling Chen asked, "Don’t you have Ling Gengqiu’s severed arm? Can’t extracting genes from him confirm this point?"


    "We have conducted experiments in this regard. On Ling Gengqiu’s clone, we cut an incision with a knife, and ten minutester, that incision automatically healed without leaving a trace. It’s evident that our spection is correct; Ling Gengqiu indeed possesses a rare self-healing ability. However, for some unknown reason, this ability cannot be perfectly manifested in the clone. If the clone suffers serious injuries, it will still die. Currently, we have shifted our direction and re-extracted Ling Gengqiu’s genes to see if he has any other special abilities."


    Upon hearing this, Ling Chen suddenly realized a problem and couldn’t help but ask, "Since Ling Gengqiu has special abilities, logically he wouldn’t die easily. Plus, he’s lived more than two or three hundred years; living a few hundred more shouldn’t be a problem. Why did he die?"


    "I’m not quite sure." Ling Tao said, "However, based on our investigation, Ling Gengqiu died by dismemberment. As you saw, the severed arm was found in a cemetery at the cost of a great deal of effort and resources. When we found the severed arm, there was a corpse in the coffin, but it wasn’t Ling Gengqiu himself. At that time, that corpse’s hand was tightly clutching the severed arm. You didn’t see the eerie scene when the coffin was opened; that corpse had already turned into a skeleton, but the severed arm was unaffected. To be honest, in this science-dominated era, many things remain unexined."


    "Have you investigated the identity of that corpse? Perhaps starting from that angle can rify the reason for Ling Gengqiu’s death."


    "We have investigated these clues, but we could only find a name, and beyond that, no other information." Pausing briefly, Ling Tao continued, "I asked our researchers, to solve Ling Gengqiu’s issues, we must find his head and torso. Only by dissecting his body organs can more data be obtained."


    "Does that mean we’re now ahead?"


    "No, you’re mistaken; we’re not ahead but have fallen behind instead. From what I know, the Southern Ling Family has already found one of Ling Gengqiu’s arms and a leg. Moreover, their objective is like ours, also seeking Ling Gengqiu’s other parts. Over the years, we’ve verified through various channels, and the only certainty is that Ling Gengqiu’s main body parts should be buried in East Sea City. As for the specific location, we haven’t figured it out yet."


    East Sea City?


    Ling Chen was startled. So that’s how it is! Could it be Lin Guodong told him that the main battlefield for the future Ling Family will be in East Sea City, probably because of this reason.


    "Do you know why we haven’t invested our forces into East Sea City all this time?" Ling Tao said with a smile, "Because of your existence. A few years ago, we nned to gradually move our influence into East Sea City. But your sudden emergence made us change our minds. In these two years in East Sea City, you’ve done extraordinarily well, exceeding our expectations. Not only have you established your own power, but you’ve also expelled the God Organization from East Sea City. Now, the God Organization is consideredpletely dismantled, but the remnants have been absorbed by the Ling Family. If it wasn’t necessary this time, I wouldn’t have asked you to help. You’re still young, with much room for growth, and I hope to give you more time to mature."


    "Here, I want to remind you. A key figure from the Southern Ling Family has long been stationed in East Sea City, and his task is to search for clues regarding Ling Gengqiu. That person is very good at hiding; we only know he is called Ling Beichuan. Aside from this, we know nothing about him. Your growth will be an obstacle for some people, and they certainly will attempt to halt your expansion, so you must be careful."


    "I know this. If I’m not mistaken, Zhu Hong has been bought by Ling Beichuan. I think Ling Beichuan is definitely nning to use Zhu Hong to limit me." Ling Chen said.


    "You deal with these matters on your own; I won’t intervene. In short, if possible, I hope you can firmly control the entire East Sea City in your hands. This way, we’ll have a lot of leverage."


    Ling Chen nodded, saying, "I can’t guarantee other things, but I’ll do my best."


    "Good!" After speaking, Ling Tao stood up, saying, "I still have to hurry back; take care, and contact me if anything arises."


    Watching Ling Tao’s departing back, Ling Chen suddenly remembered something and quickly called out, "Wait!"


    Ling Tao turned back and asked, "Is there anything else?"
