Standing beside him, Pang Hai and Yu Qiang could no longer contain themselves!
“Young Master Ye…”
Pang Hai had just received a message from Ye Fan, telling him not to act rashly, but in the blink of an eye, Ye Fan had fallen? Under his very watch?
To have died right under his nose?
The Tianji Pavilion had waited for twenty years, and now that they had finally gotten hold of such a prodigious Pavilion Master, if he were to just die like this, wouldn’t those old folks in the Three Pavilions of Tianji tear him apart?
“Draw your swords!” Seeing the situation unfold before him, Yu Qiang’s entire body surged with energy, and he bellowed at his subordinates, “We have failed in our duties, we must avenge Young Master Ye!”
On the other side, Wang Fugui exploded with rage!
“Big brother… Fuck, you’re gone just like that? No way, you can’t be messing with me…” Wang Fugui witnessed Ye Fan suddenly disappear and immediately leaped up, channeling the power of the Grandmaster Realm as he prepared to take action.
Standing by the side, Guo Li, although finding the situation strange, had to face the incontrovertible fact of Ye Fan vanishing before everyone’s eyes; even he was at a loss!
The Ren Family, along with the Four Great Maids from the Ye Family and some hidden bodyguards, were all going insane, as everyone’s Martial Arts Qi burst forth, ready to strike at any moment!
Throughout the hall, the tumultuous Qi force caused tables, chairs, and lightbulbs to shake erratically.
Zhuang Chao, who was in the center of the hall, was stunned for several seconds upon seeing Ye Fan being torn to shreds before he finally snapped out of it.
“Haha! Haha! Fantastic, I killed Ye Fan… Everyone, don’t you dare move, or you’ll end up just like Ye Fan…”
Howl!
Zhuang Chao let out a sharp command, and the Poison Gu in the hall swiftly swarmed, forming a thick wall of Poison Gu around Zhuang Chao and Zhou Ming in the blink of an eye, spewing out a potent poison mist. The hall seemed to be enveloped in a green fog.
Some guests with weaker abilities were already staggering and collapsing.
Just as Pang Hai and Yu Qiang, two Martial Emperor powerhouses, were about to make a move, they suddenly felt a powerful and ancient aura spreading from Zhuang Chao’s direction, enveloping them. They found that their powerful Martial Arts Qi was being suppressed!
The combat power they had displayed dropped instantly from the Martial Emperor Level down to the Grandmaster Realm!
What?
It wasn’t just Pang Hai and Yu Qiang who noticed; Wang Fugui, Guo Li, and the recently arrived Xia Hao, along with the experts from the Ren Family, all felt the terrible and mysterious aura pervading the hall. Everyone’s strength had been suppressed by at least half!
“Elder Pang, don’t you dare move! Young Master Zhuang has already warned us… hehe, we never intended to take your lives in the first place, but now with Ye Fan dead, any struggle is meaningless! Surrender, we just want to partner with the Nether Group…” Experience tales with empire
Zhou Ming had fully activated the treasure given by the Holy Envoy Organization, suppressing the Martial Arts abilities of everyone in the hall.
Ye Fan died right before his eyes!
He had personally witnessed Ye Fan being torn to pieces by the Poison Gu, scattering with the wind and disappearing.
However, Zhou Ming always felt that something was off, but he couldn’t quite put his finger on what it was at the moment!
But no matter what, Ye Fan’s death was always good news for the Holy Envoy Organization!
His subsequent plans in the Flower Capital wouldn’t have anyone to interfere anymore.
With that artifact suppressing strength activated, plus Zhuang Chao’s Poison Gu, wasn’t it a piece of cake to deal with these big shots present?
Ye Fan’s death had left these families, loyal to the Ye Family, without a pillar!
“Daydreaming!” Yu Qiang bellowed coldly, “You deal with the Ye Family and Nether Group in such a despicable manner… Laotzu will definitely slaughter you all!” As the division head of Tianji Pavilion’s Assassin Hall, Yu Qiang was known for his explosive temper. As he rebuked them, he paid no mind to the Poison Gu in his body and swung his battle saber towards Zhou Ming and Zhuang Chao!
Zhuang Chao saw Yu Qiang’s action and instinctively wanted to stimulate the Poison Gu to tear into Yu Qiang, but Zhou Ming reached out to stop Zhuang Chao, “Young Master Zhuang, my precious has already played its role. Just watch!”
As Zhou Ming spoke, he simply waved a stream of Qi Force from the Martial Venerable Realm, and it lightly smashed onto Yu Qiang’s battle saber.
Boom!
After an explosion, Yu Qiang’s body was sent flying back with great speed.
Under the strange power’s suppression, Yu Qiang almost couldn’t bring forth his Grandmaster Realm strength.
“Damn it! What kind of trick are you pulling? Ah… Ah…”
Yu Qiang, clearly frustrated, wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth, his gaze ferocious as he stared at Zhuang Chao and Zhou Ming.
Yu Qiang was a Martial Emperor powerhouse. Before this, Ye Fan’s allies had a clear view of everything, yet now, he couldn’t even muster the strength of the Grandmaster Realm.
This was terrifying!
“Ha-ha! You see? Now all of your strengths have been restricted. Not to brag, but all of you combined are no match for me and Young Master Zhou!” Zhuang Chao laughed even more smugly as he ordered his subordinates, “Send out the video we just filmed and push it to the trending searches! Laotzu has killed Ye Fan, and it must be publicized, ha-ha!”
Zhuang Chao swept his gaze over the crowd, “I’ll give you one minute to think it over! Surrender… Otherwise, I’ll make sure all of you join Ye Fan in the afterlife!”
…
“What? Ye Fan is dead?”
At the Capital, within the royal family’s Imperial Bedchamber!
The mother of Ji Yuchen, upon hearing the report from her subordinates outside the window, grabbed the tablet to see for herself. To her shock, she saw Ye Fan being torn to pieces by the Poison Gu, and she was instantly overwhelmed!
She and Ji Yuchen had only just finalized their plans to support the rise of the Ye Family, to establish the Grand Tutor Mansion, and to counterbalance Prince Jin!
Ye Fan had perished so soon; could Old Master Ye even withstand such a blow?
“What’s the matter?” Ji Yuchen also got up groggily, wearing only a nightgown that barely concealed her curvaceous figure, “Ye Fan is dead? What kind of joke is this? With Ye Fan’s monstrous talent, after so many assassination attempts they planned against him, none were successful. Today at the Nether Group event, there were two Martial Emperor powerhouses present; how could Ye Fan have died so easily?”
“This guy,” she continued, assessing her investigation, “he’s got too many tricks up his sleeve! Disperse, we proceed with the plan as usual!”
Ji Yuchen handed the tablet back to her subordinate with a faint smile on her lips, a profound look flashing in her eyes.
This Ye Fan is becoming more and more interesting.
In the video, Ye Fan was clearly dead, but Ji Yuchen had an intuition that Ye Fan must have used some method to deceive everyone!
Perhaps, she thought, taking another approach to win over Ye Fan to truly use him for her own benefit was a very wise choice!
However, being the Emperor, she obviously couldn’t leave the Capital.
“Summon someone, pass my command! Have Empress Ji Ningxuan go to Flower Capital tomorrow on my behalf to reward Ye Fan!” Ji Yuchen’s lips curled into a mischievous smile, wondering what sparks might fly between her designated empress and Ye Fan.
