The beautiful woman by Ji Yuchen’s side was somewhat puzzled, “Yuchen, do you really trust Ye Fan that much? What if he really is dead?”
“Impossible! He’s used this trick before on a mission years ago!” Ji Yuchen said, patting his mouth, “It’s nothing, don’t wake me up again, I’m going back to sleep!”
The beautiful woman, looking at Ji Yuchen as he continued to lie down to sleep, frowned and scolded her subordinate outside the window, “Keep observing uninterrupted, and furthermore, mobilize all the power of the royal family to investigate Ye Fan!”
Ye Fan cannot die now. If Ye Fan dies, then Prince Jin over there would be too delighted to contain himself.
…
In the Capital, at Prince Jin’s residence, Prince Jin was stunned for quite a while upon receiving the news of Ye Fan’s death, staring blankly at the tablet in his hand, “He’s dead, just like that?”
Since five years ago, Prince Jin had been planning how to kill that monstrous talent from the Ye Family.
But a car accident hadn’t killed him, Xu Jian and his son from within the Ye Family hadn’t done it, the three great families hadn’t managed it, and even Elder Zhang’s subordinates and his own grandson’s personal involvement had failed. And now he was suddenly dead?
“Your Highness, it is absolutely true, our informants hidden at the scene witnessed it with their own eyes, Ye Fan was torn to pieces! Zhuang Chao and Zhou Ming won, they took control of the entire venue, and it’s very likely that they will take over the Nether Group and gain control of the Ren Family!”
Prince Jin, listening to his subordinate’s report, analyzed everything once more and then shook his head, “If Ye Fan is really dead, that would be best! But I have a feeling that things aren’t so simple. Let Sun Jiahong and Jin Mingliang continue to work with our experts and get to the scene. Even if Ye Fan is dead, we need to see the body! Don’t forget that Ye Fan is a martial expert at the Martial Emperor Level, he wouldn’t die so easily; there’s something fishy about this!”
“Additionally, send more people to keep an eye on Ye Changfeng’s situation! If Ye Fan is dead, then that old bastard Ye Changfeng will definitely take action! If he, cornered like a doomed dog, starts mobilizing the million-strong Tianlong Domain army towards the Capital, then we are in real trouble!”
…
“Elder Ye, it’s bad! Young Master Ye has had an accident! At Old Master Ren’s birthday banquet in Flower Capital, Young Master Ye was suddenly bitten to death by a Poison Gu from the Gu Sect!”
At the Capital Elders Council, Guard Captain Leng Feng woke up Ye Changfeng who had just gone to bed.
Ye Changfeng sat up abruptly, “What? Xiao Fan is dead, are you sure about the news?”
Ye Changfeng’s voice trembled, and his pupils dilated!
An hour ago, Ye Fan had still been in touch with him. In such a short time, Ye Fan managed to get himself killed?
According to the reports from the Ye Family bodyguards, didn’t the Gu Sect’s Third Elder Ling Yun and the Five Poisons Child die at Ye Fan’s hands? Logically speaking, Ye Fan shouldn’t fear the Poison Gu that much, should he?
“It’s confirmed, this is footage sent back by the Ye Family bodyguards!” Leng Feng handed over the tablet to Ye Changfeng.
Ye Changfeng scanned it briefly and saw on the screen Ye Fan being torn to pieces by the Poison Gu. His expression turned extremely somber!
“Summon my orders! All soldiers of Tianlong Domain prepare for battle… To dare to touch my grandson and drive my Ye Family to extinction, I won’t care about anything else any longer! I swear we will die together in retaliation… This is too much, aaaahhh…”
Ye Changfeng smashed the table in front of him in a frenzy. Although the Martial Arts Qi emanating from him wasn’t exceptionally powerful, the unique pressure of a superior spread out, imposing a full sense of oppression even on Leng Feng.
“Yes, Elder Ye!” The assistant at the door responded, about to pass on the orders when Leng Feng received new messages from Flower Capital, “Elder Ye, wait, there’s a turn of events… Young Master… he’s come back to life again…”
…
Flower Capital, the Ren Family!
Zhou Ming used the treasure provided by the Holy Envoy to suppress the martial strength of everyone present.
Meanwhile, Zhuang Chao used an overwhelming tide of Poison Gu to take control of the entire scene.
No one dared to make a rash move, and the atmosphere was filled with tension.
“A minute has passed; Pang Hai, you go first. Surrender or die?” Zhuang Chao coldly stared at Pang Hai.
The Nether Group had been a juicy prize, dominating Great Xia for so many years. Countless forces coveted it for a long time and were eager to devour it. Naturally, the Gu Sect was no exception. Seizing such a good opportunity, Zhuang Chao wanted to subjugate Pang Hai and have him submit.
“Hmph! A jumping clown, you want me to surrender? Dream on!” Pang Hai replied coldly, “Today, all of us would rather die in battle than accommodate any of your demands!”
“Yes! Even if I fight to the death, I will not submit to a despicable person like you!”
“We would fight to the death for our husband and would never agree to you!”
Guo Li, Wang Fugui, Ren Xueying, Qiu Wan, Xia Hao, Liu Wuyang, and others couldn’t help but step forward, their attitudes resolute as they expressed their stance!
Other guests at the scene, including a number of the Ye Family’s die-hard loyalists, also stood up!
Their readiness to face death infuriated Zhuang Chao immensely.
“Dammit, are you all sick in the head? Ye Fan is already dead, and all that’s left of the Ye Family is that old geezer Ye Changfeng, who won’t last long either. The Ye Family is hopeless; can’t you comprehend what people say? Why the hell are you still so fiercely defending the Ye Family?”
Zhuang Chao really couldn’t understand why everyone was still so united even after Ye Fan’s death.
The scene fell silent, with no one responding.
“Who said I’m dead?” A clear voice rang out in the hall, and Ye Fan appeared, walking in from outside the doorway, “Zhuang Chao, it seems like you really don’t keep your word, do you?”
Huh?
The familiar voice made everyone shudder, their eyes widening.
Ye Fan?
“It’s Brother Fan, Brother Fan isn’t dead!” Ren Xueying was the first to leap up, tears welling in her eyes.
Qiu Wan and Qing Ruolan clasped their hands tightly together; their man had indeed proved himself!
“Big brother is so badass!” Wang Fugui vigorously clenched his fist, “I knew big brother wouldn’t die so easily. Even if he did, he wouldn’t want to leave behind all those beautiful sisters-in-law!”
Pang Hai and Yu Qiang, seeing Ye Fan’s figure reappear, were puzzled but finally heaved a sigh of relief.
“What the fuck! Ye Fan… are you a human or a ghost?”
Seeing Ye Fan suddenly appear behind him, Zhuang Chao jumped up in terror after getting a clear look at Ye Fan, his face full of horror as he scrutinized him from head to toe.
“Human or ghost, why don’t you try and see?” Ye Fan snorted coldly through his nostrils, his figure flashed, and he thrust a dagger towards Zhuang Chao’s chest!
Pu-chi!
A dull yet crisp sound rang out, and a huge hole instantly appeared in Zhuang Chao’s chest, blood gushing out, “Ah… damn it, have you gone mad, why the hell are you stabbing me…”
Enduring the severe pain in his chest, Zhuang Chao quickly issued a string of orders, “Hmph! You didn’t die just now, so this time, let’s all die together!”
Zhuang Chao had started to sweat coldly by now; he had clearly killed Ye Fan earlier, but Ye Fan had reappeared perfectly fine in front of him, which was too eerie!
Zhuang Chao finally understood why Zhang Feng and Shen Xiao had fallen at Ye Fan’s hands; this fool of the Ye Family was indeed difficult to deal with!
Whoosh whoosh!
Following Zhuang Chao’s command, the Poison Gu swarmed again like a tide!
But it only took a few seconds for Zhuang Chao to notice something was amiss!
Huh?
According to his orders, the Poison Gu should have attacked those loyal to the Ye Family, tearing them to death on the spot!
But now, why were all the Poison Gu, which should have been terrified, crawling down from the bodies of Ren Tianxing, Pang Hai, and others, instead converging near him and Zhou Ming, even climbing onto the bodies of the Gu Sect’s direct lineage troops and starting to bite and tear!
“What… what on earth is going on?”
