As the sound arose in the courtyard, Ye Fan could clearly feel a Divine Sense locking onto him!
Moreover, even with Ye Fan’s extraordinary spiritual power, he was unable to shield himself from that prying Divine Sense!
That feeling of being targeted was like being watched by a ferocious venomous snake.
It had been a long time since Ye Fan had encountered such a sensation!
Ye Fan’s expression began to turn solemn!
It seemed that Nangong Aoyue was right, the Ancient Martial Ye Family was not to be underestimated.
“Elder Pang, Huizi, you two should not go in!” Ye Fan said gravely to the two, “Wait for my message, if there is no news from me within half an hour, quickly move those seven sisters-in-law and Xueying to safety!”
The Ancient Martial Ye Family had set their sights on him, and it didn’t take them long to find him in Flower Capital.
At the deepest level, they were coming for the Nine Dragons Bloodline. If they confirmed his bloodline, they would probably want to take his life on the spot and forcibly seize it, right?
“This… Okay, Young Master Ye!” Although Pang Hai was extremely concerned for Ye Fan, he too sensed the strong Martial Arts Qi Force fluctuation and powerful spiritual power movement coming from inside the courtyard.
Seeing Young Master Ye being so careful and fearful, Pang Hai knew that even with his strength as a Martial Emperor Fifth Rank, he wouldn’t be able to help much if he went inside.
After instructing Pang Hai and Yamada Eiko, Ye Fan stepped forward and charged into the courtyard!
Watching Ye Fan’s retreating figure, without any hesitation, Pang Hai immediately made a call to Yi Wansu, “Vermilion Bird Seat Head, where are you right now? The Pavilion Master is in trouble, he’s your man, you can’t ignore this…”
Inside Tianji Pavilion, the strongest known expert at present was Yi Wansu!
Given the current situation, perhaps if Yi Wansu could arrive in time, she might still be able to save Young Master Ye’s life!
…
In the courtyard!
Upon entering the hall, Ye Fan saw his grandfather, Ye Changfeng, tied to a chair, with two Martial Arts Experts holding battle sabers to his neck on either side.
On the ground beside them lay a large number of bodyguards in disarray, including Grandpa’s Guard Captain, Leng Feng!
Ye Fan frowned, it seemed that Leng Feng’s strength was still too weak.
If they survived this crisis, he must help Leng Feng improve his strength.
In the secular world, although indeed not many dared to make a move against his grandfather, Ye Fan now knew that it wasn’t just Prince Jin eyeing the Ye Family, but also the Ancient Martial Ye Family, as well as the Holy Envoy Organization behind Zhou Ming, and his arch enemies from Divine Gate.
At the head of the table, there was an old man in a Tang Suit, holding a teacup, measuring up Ye Fan from head to toe.
“Release my grandpa!” Ye Fan’s gaze was intense as he stared at the old man in the Tang Suit, his tone calm.
The old man in the Tang Suit smirked, “Release your grandpa? Of course, but first hand over the item obediently!”
The old man in the Tang Suit continued to speak, “There are quite a few who want the Ye Family’s items! This time, the ancestor didn’t say we would do anything to your Ye Family… the life and death of the Ye Family is but a thought away for me! If you behave well, perhaps I can spare you all!”
“No! Xiao Fan, you shouldn’t have come… Those maps from the Ye Family are what your mother left behind, they concern the lives of the entire world, you absolutely must not give them to them…”
Grandfather Ye Changfeng, standing nearby, heard the words of the Old Man in Tang Suit and hastily started to speak, trying to stop Ye Fan.
The Old Man in Tang Suit frowned, “Third Brother, are you still so impatient? Don’t forget, your lives are in my hands! If I want to kill you and your grandson, it would just be the matter of lifting a finger!”
“I’m offering this out of the brotherhood between us, giving you a chance! And yet you fail to appreciate it, if you don’t cooperate, then don’t blame me for truly annihilating your entire Ye family line!” As the Old Man in Tang Suit spoke, he signaled to two subordinates with his eyes.
Thump!
Upon receiving the order, the Old Man in Tang Suit’s two subordinates swung their Battle Sabers, hitting the back of Ye Changfeng’s neck with the back of the blades, knocking him out on the spot.
“Seeking death!”
Seeing the actions of the two subordinates, a spark of rage appeared in Ye Fan’s eyes.
The Teleportation Trait activated, and his body instantly moved beside the two bodyguards, his Eighth Rank Martial Emperor strength fully unleashed!
Splurch! Splurch!
Ye Fan drew his Battle Saber, directly piercing the heart and the dantian of the two bodyguards… then, carrying his grandfather, he quickly retreated a few meters away, his hands fluctuating with Vitality Force as he funneled it into his grandfather’s body to awaken him!
“Xiao Fan… hurry and leave! Don’t worry about me, you’re no match for them!” Grandfather, regaining consciousness, saw that Ye Fan had saved him and his eyes were filled with concern, “They are people sent by the Ancient Martial Ye Family. Our Ye family’s more than a dozen branches have already been exterminated. Their coming here is definitely with malicious intent!”
“I know, Grandfather!” Facing his grandfather’s ramblings, Ye Fan spoke in a deep voice, “I know what the Ancient Martial Ye Family is plotting!”
Ye Fan’s reply was very calm!
“Hehe! Ye Fan, it seems I’ve underestimated you… The outside world always said you were a fool, but it turns out you are not foolish at all! And your strength… much stronger than your grandfather’s… Hehe…”
The Old Man in a Tang Suit stared at Ye Fan, a meaningful smile appearing at the corner of his mouth.
Having eliminated so many Ye family branches without finding the Nine Dragons Yang Meridian, and with the Ten Great Proud Sons of Heaven perished without locating the corresponding bloodline, could it be that the bloodline inherited by the Ye family is on Ye Fan?
If that’s the case, then if I subdue Ye Fan… and plunder that bloodline, and then… if I can absorb it, wouldn’t I no longer need to be under the control of the Ye Family Ancestor?
Could I become the foremost person among the Ancient Martial Families?
“Second Grandpa, you flatter me! Isn’t it the Ye Family’s map you want? I can give it to you… Right now, I have three pieces of the Immortal Palace map, all of which I can give you! But after handing over the map, can I exchange it for safety for me and my grandfather?” As he spoke, Ye Fan respectfully took out three fragments of the Immortal Palace map from his person.
Ye Fan had already tested Second Grandpa’s strength several times just a moment ago.
It was completely above his own, at least at the level of Martial Saint Realm!
Although Ye Fan had Crimson Flame, Absolute Domain, Teleportation, and other traits, facing an expert several realms higher than himself, Ye Fan did not have absolute certainty!
After all, even half an hour earlier, when Yi Wansu displayed her true fighting capabilities, Ye Fan was no longer her match!
“Hehe! I will take the items first… But, Ye Fan, you seem to have misunderstood the situation. Do you think you’re in a position to negotiate terms with me?”
Whoosh!
The Old Man in Tang Suit unleashed a wave of Qi Force, sweeping the map fragments from Ye Fan’s hands into his own. After a glance, satisfied, he pocketed them, then stepped toward Ye Fan, “If you want me to spare you and your grandfather, it’s possible… I need to open your heart and release a bit of your Heart Meridian Blood to see, and if there’s no problem, you might be left with a life…”
