As Martial Arts gradually penetrated the secular world, every nation understood the significance of Martial Arts experts for a country!
If a country had Martial Lords stationed within, its confidence would be entirely different!
An elixir pill that could assist in breaking through to the Martial Emperor Level… at minimum, it would be a top-grade elixir of the Eighth Rank or above… ten billion, a hundred billion, a trillion… these were not things that money could buy!
“Priceless? Linglong, you are my wife… what could be more important than that?” Ye Fan sincerely looked at Yu Linglong, “In the future, I just hope for world peace and that you can give birth to lots of healthy baby boys!”
“Tut! There are so many people here, I’m dying of embarrassment… stop talking…” Yu Linglong reached out and tugged at Ye Fan’s clothes, wishing she could hug Ye Fan and kiss him properly if it weren’t for the crowd around them.
“Go ahead!”
Ye Fan watched Yu Linglong leave the airport and said to Guo Li, who had come to pick him up, “Let’s go! Drive to Sister Wan’s!”
Although Ye Fan was flirting with Yu Linglong on the plane just now, in truth, it was a case of injuring the enemy a thousand and self-harming eight hundred. Ye Fan was also suffering terribly!
At the moment, Su Yixue was in Cloud City; Qing Ruolan had not yet become intimately close, so the only one who could relieve the urgent need was Qiu Wan.
“Okay!” Guo Li drove the car while reporting to Ye Fan, “Young Master Ye, tonight, a foreigner named Roselle let me tell you that he has already arrived in Great Xia. He needs to handle some affairs in the Northwest first, then he will come specifically to see you!”
Roselle?
Several years ago, those few individuals that one had funded had now begun to become the well-known financial magnates of Europa. It seemed they hadn’t forgotten their gratitude and turned ungrateful!
But what business did he have in the Northwest?
…
In Penglai Canyon, the Black Clothes Society had joined forces with the General’s Mansion, planning to assassinate Yu Linglong, the number one Valkyrie of the Xuanwu Region, to severely undermine the credibility of the Xuanwu Region.
Even almost all the Black Clothes Society’s forces in Great Xia had been mobilized, but in the end, the result was the decimation of their entire army.
Ye Fan and Yu Linglong, among others, had already withdrawn back to Flower Capital when the Japanese Black Clothes Society’s headquarters finally received the news.
“What? A thousand warriors of the Black Clothes Society, completely annihilated? How is that possible?” Taro Asada, the president of the Black Clothes Society, crushed the teacup in his hand, looking incredulously at the report he had just received, “Could this information be wrong?”
Taro Asada had been waiting for news from Penglai Canyon since dusk today.
The Black Clothes Society’s progress in Great Xia had been very slow, especially due to the resistance posed by the warriors of the Xuanwu Region.
They had been counting on this battle to boost the morale of the Black Clothes Society while also providing an explanation to the royal family.
However, the news he received was of the total annihilation of the Black Clothes Society’s forces!
How could this be possible?
“Hey! President Taro, the news is absolutely true… Master Matsumoto, Elder Xiao Quan, and all other members of the Black Clothes Society, they all died for their country… Even Deputy Commander Zhou Yao, who had already sworn allegiance to us, has also fallen…”
“Originally, our fight was advantageous! But at the crucial moment, the reinforcements that Commander Zhou Yao sought, the Blood Demon Sect, suddenly sided with the Xuanwu Region, turning the tide of battle!”
“Among them, the most crucial factor was Ye Fan, the only surviving Young Master of the Great Xia Ye Family!”
Hearing his subordinate’s report, Taro Asada felt his heart go cold.
In order to seize those fragments within the Great Xia Realm, the Black Clothes Society had dispatched nearly half of its forces. This total annihilation was almost a devastating blow to the Black Clothes Society.
Not only would it be impossible to continue the projects within the Great Xia Realm, but the Black Clothes Society’s position within Dongying would also likely suffer a huge impact.
Other families had long been coveting the Black Clothes Society’s position, and now with the Society’s heavy losses, they would likely seize the opportunity to kick them while they were down!
“Ye Fan? Isn’t he the fool Young Master of the Ye Family? Hmph! All the core disciples of the Ye Family are dead… what waves could a fool stir up?” Taro Asada, like before, remembered the outdated intelligence about Ye Fan.
“No, President Taro, we have all been deceived by Ye Fan… He was pretending to be a fool the whole time. According to the information we got from the scene, Ye Fan’s strength is at least above the Martial Venerable Realm, even stronger! He is not foolish at all… and behind Ye Fan there is a powerful force with Martial Emperor Level experts supporting him!”
“Martial Lord?”
“Feigning ignorance?”
When Taro Asada heard the report from his subordinate, the first thing he thought of was the annihilation of the Zhao Family, the Li Family, and the Wang Family in Cloud City.
These families were all vassal families under the staunch enemies of the Ye Family.
Although they were insignificant, according to the perspective of the Ye Family’s enemies, suppressing the declining Ye Family or the Su Family was not a problem at all.
But within a short week, all three major families were obliterated.
The most eerie part was that the Wang Family was the last to be wiped out, actually dying in a desperate fight against Xu Jian’s forces.
In the end, all three major families, rivals of the Ye Family in Cloud City, were wiped out, and even Xu Jian and his son, who originally planned to take over the Ye Corporation’s assets, coincidentally met their deaths as well.
The internal and external crises of the Ye Family were all greatly alleviated in an instant.
Previously, everyone thought it was just a coincidence.
But now, Taro Asada finally understood that this was no coincidence at all; it was all Ye Fan’s manipulation from behind the scenes.
“Quick! Immediately share this news with the Capital and the Northwest of Great Xia… Ye Fan has fully awakened, and it’s crucial that everyone gets this information as soon as possible…”
“We can’t be fooled again!”
At this moment, Taro Asada also gradually accepted the reality that 800 men of the Black Clothes Society were completely annihilated!
Since Ye Fan had awakened, and five years ago, he was that monstrous prodigy, so now Ye Fan’s strength had reached the Martial Venerable Realm. Considering his heaven-defying talent, Taro Asada felt that any outcome was possible if Ye Fan had planned it.
But there was one thing Taro Asada was certain of: he definitely would not be in the forefront when dealing with Ye Fan next time.
…
In the Great Xia Capital, Tang Zheng, who had just received the message from Asada, had a bitter expression, “Sigh! It’s too late for us to know this information…”
The forces under Tang Zheng’s control had almost been completely cleaned up by Ye Fan beforehand.
Even Tang Zheng’s grandson, Shen Xiao, had fallen into Ye Fan’s hands. Without any power at his disposal, Tang Zheng felt helpless to do anything!
In Flower Capital, Zhou Ming, who had just arrived, also received the news, “Ye Fan is not a fool? Eh… why does this name sound so familiar… When was he ever a fool? I feel a bit afraid… No, I must study this carefully…”
In the Northwest, Zhang Heng also saw the message passed on by Asada.
“Damn it! Did these Japanese dogs know about Ye Fan’s situation long ago and are only telling me now? Hmph! What’s the point of telling me now?” Zhang Heng smashed the table in a fit of madness, “My only grandson has died in Flower Capital, ah ah ah… Heavens! Are you letting my Zhang family die out?”
Zhang Feng had even requested the Nether Young Master, Chen Tang, to take action alongside him against Ye Fan. In the end, Chen Tang ended up acknowledging Ye Fan as his godfather and killed Zhang Feng!
With such a bizarre turn of events, Zhang Heng naturally deduced that Ye Fan’s strength had reached an extremely terrifying level, enough to control Chen Tang’s action against Zhang Feng.
“I’ll never let this go with you! Hmph… if I can’t deal with you, then I’ll use all of Zhang family’s power to bring down Ye Corporation, I have to tear a piece of flesh from you!”
Zhang Heng knew that since his deputy commander, Chu Feng, and grandson, Zhang Feng, had already died at the hands of Ye Fan, it would be difficult for him to kill Ye Fan using martial strength.
Zhang Heng thought then to use economic means to take over all of Ye Corporation!
Even if I can’t kill you, I still want to make you suffer…
By seizing control of Ye Corporation, perhaps we could turn the tables and get those undecided middle family powers to stand on the opposing side of the Ye Family!
Finally, we can unite and completely annihilate the Ye Family…
“How is Mr. Roselle’s contact going? Will we be able to launch a successful strike against Ye Corporation’s stocks tomorrow?” Zhang Heng slammed the papers on the table and coldly asked his deputy commander!
