“Dammit, has that scourge gone mad?”
Within the Nether Holy Land, Sage Master Chen Liang saw the video on his phone and, in anger, crushed the phone in his hand. “This fool, how am I supposed to explain this to the big shots above?”
“Give me the phone!”
Chen Liang dialed his son Chen Tang’s number, seething. “Chen Tang, is the video spreading online real? Did you really kill Zhang Feng and annihilate the Qin Family?”
“Yeah! Dad, I did well, didn’t I? Ye Fan is my sworn father, and those people wanted to kill my sworn father, so I had to eliminate them all…”
As soon as Chen Tang began to speak, Chen Liang sensed something was off.
Chen Liang knew that his foolish son, although somewhat lacking in cunning, wasn’t lacking in intelligence.
Although not particularly clever before, Chen Liang was clear about the general thoughts and policies of the Nether and the stance they took.
But now Chen Tang was acting like he had been brainwashed, obsessed with Ye Fan, acknowledging him as his sworn father?
What a load of nonsense!
While unclear about what exactly had happened, Chen Liang knew for certain that someone had tampered with Chen Tang.
“Alright, I get it. Come back immediately, your father has something important to tell you!” Chen Liang said grimly. No matter what, he had to call Chen Tang back first.
If Chen Tang’s thoughts were being controlled by Ye Fan, then corresponding measures must be taken to break the control.
Otherwise, if things continued to develop like this, Chen Liang didn’t know how much more trouble Chen Tang could cause.
By that time, not even Chen Liang himself would be able to salvage the situation for the big shots.
Ding Ling Ling!
No sooner had Chen Liang hung up with Chen Tang than the call from the big shots above came through. “Chen Liang, is this the good son you’ve raised? Dammit, we’ve toiled for so many years, plotting against the Ye Family… Now, with only that one fool and the old man left, it’s already enough of a headache…”
“Yet, your idiot son actually revolted, killing Zhang Feng! Yesterday, Shen Xiao was suddenly abused by a dog, and today your son killed Zhang Feng. Isn’t this us slapping our own faces? How are we supposed to move on to the next step?”
“Do you realize how much the incident today will impact the secular world? After the seven granddaughters-in-law of the Ye Family announced they would marry Ye Fan to further the Ye Family’s lineage, the clans that promised to support us have already wavered. Now with all these events happening consecutively, they’re likely to waver even more. Old Master Ye is about to go to the Capital, and once the Ye Family catches their breath, we will all suffer the consequences…”
The big shot on the phone was somewhat frantic, bombarding Chen Liang with a ruthless scolding as soon as the call connected.
Before, it was just Capital’s Tang Zheng and Zhang Heng who were anxious!
But now that the Ye Family had purged all the clandestine families in Cloud City, even Zhou Ming, the representative of Your Highness the Holy Envoy, had suffered heavy blows and nearly perished.
The anxiety was now shared by the big shots behind Tang Zheng and Chen Liang too!
From the moment they moved against the Ye Family, it was a do-or-die situation between them.
With all ten core descendants of the Ye Family eliminated in one fell swoop, if they couldn’t completely topple the Ye Family this time, it would be their own downfall.
“Boss! Please calm down… The video footage that was uploaded is indeed real, but I’ve just spoken with Chen Tang! From Chen Tang’s words, I sensed something wrong… It’s like his mind has been controlled…”
These were people who had reached an elite status among the elite.
With just one sentence, the big shot on the other end of the phone instantly understood, “Chen Tang is being controlled?”
Remembering the footage from the video, Ye Fan was also there.
If Chen Tang was being controlled, it could only have been by Ye Fan.
The outside world rumored Ye Fan to be a fool, but Lei Qianjue said Ye Fan was beginning to awaken.

Who’s telling the truth after all?
At first, the big shot thought Lei Qianjue’s words were just to sway the undecided families to support the Ye Family.
However, judging from what happened with Chen Tang, it seemed there was a ninety percent chance Ye Fan had already woken up.
“I understand now!” the big shot drew in a breath of cold air, “If Chen Tang was really mind-controlled, that would be terrifying. Ye Fan must have woken up a long time ago! Our plans in Flower Capital are still likely inadequate to stop Ye Fan… You all need to be careful on your own!”
Zhang Feng and Chen Tang made their move, originally going to the Qin Family to discuss matters today. Yet, even before they officially began, Ye Fan had already taken down two Martial Master Venerables.
As for the people from the Gu Sect and Black Clothes Society that followed, their efforts were probably in vain!
In the big shot’s mind, he had already written off people like Tang Zheng and Zhang Heng as expendables.
If Ye Fan was to take action too quickly and trace it back to him, he would not hesitate to sever his own ties with the Nether, Tang Zheng, and the others.
What he didn’t expect was that sharp individuals like Tang Zheng and Zhang Heng had also kept some tricks up their sleeves when collaborating with the big shot.
At the critical moment, those could literally save their lives.
When Capital’s Tang Zheng saw the footage, he closed his eyes, sighed with resignation, and then entered his own secret chamber to sort through the evidence of his past cooperation with the big shot!
He already felt that Ye Fan was going to make a move on them quite soon.
…
At this time, Ye Fan, having left the Qin Family Courtyard, did not hesitate to have Guo Li arrange several private planes, hurrying towards Xuanwu Battle Zone with the Four Great Maids.
His main wife Yu Linglong had already left on a mission, her phone on silent, unreachable!
Hope nothing happens!
Otherwise, I’ll make everyone accompany my main wife in death.
At the Southeastern Border, the East Mountain Pier!
Yu Linglong, clad in a tight-fitting outfit, scolded the hundreds of fully armed Martial Arts Experts in front of her, “Everyone! We have intelligence that those mongrels from the Black Clothes Society are lurking in Penglai Canyon, one of their major hideouts. Most of their forces have already gone out today. I’m going to strike at their lair and catch them by surprise…”
“They’ve snatched a lot of ancient scriptures and rare antiques from ancient tombs from Great Xia, all of which are hidden in the hideout in the canyon. We can’t allow them to take those treasures away!”
“But I must tell you, the people from the Black Clothes Society aren’t pushovers. In today’s battle, there will certainly be sacrifices! But this is a fight for honor. Only by making them scared and hurt will they start to fear and panic! We sons and daughters of Great Xia are not to be trifled with!”
“Do you all have confidence?”
“Yes!”
“Yes!”
“Yes!”
All present were elites from the Xuanwu Battle Zone, all hot-blooded men.
Not a single one backed down!
Yu Linglong’s thinking was actually right, to change from defense to offense, to take the initiative to strike at their lair, to destroy their transfer station. It would then be much more difficult for those scoundrels to continue their sneaky efforts in Great Xia!
If this battle was successful, Great Xia’s Number One Valkyrie’s name would surely go down in history!
But regrettably, while Yu Linglong was planning the operation, behind a building at the pier, several youths watching her through binoculars spoke into their headsets with somber expressions, “Master Matsumoto, the Fierce Lady has already started to move… I’ve prepared your gift, make sure you accept it well, you should send more reinforcements!”
“Don’t worry! Master Zhou Yao, I’ve already dispatched five times the number of troops to lie in ambush. If they dare come here, this will become their graveyard!”
