At the funeral, Ye Fan had already awakened!
When Shen Mange announced her marriage to him, Ye Fan quietly observed her expression. That resoluteness and determination didn’t seem feigned!
Later at the cemetery, Shen Mange even helped Ye Fan straighten his collar, and that concerned and pained look was not something one could pretend to have.
Shen Mange truly had the best interests of the Ye Family at heart!
But why then did the Five Poisons Child say it was Young Master Ye, Ye Lingyu’s father-in-law who betrayed him?
“Hmph! Facing death and you still want to drive a wedge between the Ye Family and the Shen Family?” Ye Fan snorted coldly, stepping on the Five Poisons Child’s thigh and exerting a bit of Qi Force, promptly breaking the Five Poisons Child’s thigh.
The Five Poisons Child instantly cried out loudly in pain, “No, I didn’t lie at all! I’m telling the truth… I was there at the scene, it was Ye Lingyu’s father-in-law, Shen Nanfei, who framed Ye Lingyu, and the first stab was by Shen Nanfei… Don’t believe me, check my phone, there’s a short video on it… Ah, my leg… please give me a quick death, I’ve told you everything I know…”
The Five Poisons Child was utterly desperate!
He knew that with Ye Fan fully awakened, there was simply no chance of survival being in his hands; now all he hoped for was a swift death!
Furthermore, the Five Poisons Child felt extremely resentful inside. When the Gu Sect agreed to take action against the Ye Family, the Five Poisons Child was hesitant, but Zhuang Bifan ultimately sent him to carry out that assassination mission, resulting in this dire predicament.
If he had to die, let no one else live either!
The Five Poisons Child had made up his mind to expose everyone he knew who was present on the scene; if he was to die, he wouldn’t be lonely on the Yellow Springs Road.
“Those who acted together with the Gu Sect included several high-ranking members of the Vermilion Bird Domain, whose names I can’t recall… But I recognize the martial arts experts from several other families; there are those from the Southern Han Family, the Cao Family… and even martial artists from the Ancient Martial Arts Feng Family participated as well…”
As the Five Poisons Child spilled everything, Ye Fan also found the phone on him!
He opened the phone to a short encrypted video. Although it wasn’t long, just several seconds, Ye Fan clearly saw his sister-in-law’s father, Shen Nanfei, plunging a knife into Ye Lingyu’s chest before the screen went haywire.
In the last frame, Ye Fan saw his elder brother being kicked around like a football by numerous martial arts experts, his eyes gouged out…
Damnable!
Although he had known earlier that his elder brother was murdered.
Ye Fan had not imagined the enemies of the Ye Family would be so cruelly ruthless.
It was not enough to kill a man; they had to torture him so.
Especially in the video, Ye Fan saw several familiar faces.
Some of them were formerly close friends of the Ye Family.
Bastards!
Betraying the Ye Family, I will make sure all of you pay the price.
However, regarding the issue of Shen Nanfei, Ye Fan still had some hesitation. The Shen Family’s actions before and after were completely contradictory… Had something happened within the Shen Family as well?
Once the matter at Flower Capital was resolved, he must travel to Sea City to visit the Shen Family personally and uncover the truth of the matter.
If it was indeed Shen Nanfei who acted against his elder brother, Ye Fan would naturally not hesitate to act. But then, what about Shen Mange? She was his sister-in-law before, and now had announced her marriage to him, making her his wife!
A wife’s father being the enemy who killed one’s brother, Ye Fan found himself in a difficult position.
But the specifics would have to be dealt with when the time came.
“One last question, where did you get this piece of the map?” Ye Fan asked coldly, staring at the Five Poisons Child.
At this moment, the Five Poisons Child had reached the depths of despair, having almost disclosed everything he knew. The only issue left for Ye Fan was about the fragment of the map.
Previously, grandfather had said mother gave seven map fragments to his seven brothers, but the fragment in the Five Poisons Child’s possession clearly did not come from any of the Ye Family’s sons.
This means one thing, that there are likely more than seven map fragments of the Heavenly Palace.
“I… I just happened to obtain it in an ancient tomb in the Miaojiang area. At that time, a few members of an archaeological team discovered this thing, claiming it was a site of Divinity, with even Cultivation Techniques inside. I killed them all and seized the map…”
Ancient tomb?
Ye Fan’s brows furrowed at the sound of this!
The situation was becoming increasingly complicated!
The fact that the archaeologists had obtained these map fragments from an ancient tomb suggested that his mother might not have even entered that site.
Even gathering all seven Ye Family map fragments together might not be enough to enter the site.
After thinking rapidly, Ye Fan suddenly understood.
Besides, if the combination of the Ye Family’s seven map fragments formed a complete map, his mother would have likely led the Ye Family disciples to that place long ago!
How many pieces are there to the map fragments? When will gathering them come to an end?
Alas!
Ye Fan heaved a long sigh in his heart, reckoning that he could only do so much for now, first dealing with all those arch-enemies of the Ye Family!
Whoosh!
With a flick of his wrist, the Inheritance within Ye Fan flickered and a torrential wave of heat surged from his palm, engulfing the Five Poisons Child and all the surrounding Poison Gu.
In an instant, the Five Poisons Child and those Poison Gu all turned to nothingness!
“I’m f*cked… Just how many cards do you have up your sleeve…”
In the void, one could faintly hear the Five Poisons Child’s astonished words.
Only in death did the Five Poisons Child realize just how impressive the title of the number one prodigy of Great Xia really was!
Ye Fan used the Inheritance to burn because the widespread Poison Gu in the Flower Capital was too dangerous. If he wasn’t careful, and civilians were accidentally injured, that would be terrible!
So he decided to burn them all with a single fire!
Having dealt with this, Ye Fan casually patted his hands and swiftly disappeared from the scene.
As he passed the entrance of the dead-end alley, Ye Fan glanced at a nearby lane, a devilish smile appearing on his lips, but he said nothing.
Ye Fan’s powerful Perception naturally allowed him to sense that there were people hiding in that lane observing quietly, and he also knew that they were from the Gu Sect.
But Ye Fan ignored them; the message was meant to be spread.
Ye Fan wasn’t pretending anymore, he was laying his cards on the table… He wanted to make all those who acted against the Ye Family feel panic, fear, and terror…
“What’s going on, big brother… I just saw that idiot Ye Fan glance over here, it felt like being stared at by a venomous snake! Do you think he discovered us?”
“Scared of what, it’s just an idiot! What we need to focus on now is why the Five Poisons Child, protector who clearly went in chasing after Ye Fan, didn’t show up when Ye Fan came out. What the hell happened!”
“The leader has long suspected that the Five Poisons Child harbored ulterior motives. Let’s go… Let’s go take a look…”
But by the time they checked the alley, they found no valuable clues and could only leave in frustration.
Ye Fan returned to Qiu Wan’s place and slept until daybreak, only to be woken up by a phone call from Lovette, “Young Master Ye, the Northwest Zhang Family has formally declared war on the Ye Family, and in half an hour, the financial war will start. Are you coming over to watch…”
On the phone, Ye Fan could sense a hint of excitement in Lovette’s voice!
“Of course, how can I miss such an exciting spectacle?”
