Chapter 2037
Chu Zhengliang was shocked when he saw Ye Fan.
With his shriveled eyes widened, the fragile man began to tremble violently.
“Y-Y-You...” As much as he wanted to speak, all Chu Zhengliang managed to do was repeat the same word over and over again.
Either he was too surprised, or all the years of suffering had cost him his ability to converse.
“It's been a while, Uncle Liang. I've come to spend some time with you.” Ye Fan then sat beside Chu Zhengliang with the bottle of wine.
Having not seen Chu Zhengliang for a few years, Ye Fan looked at his uncle and realized that the man was no longer commanding nor burly. Chu Zhengliang had already become frail due to his age.
“Y-You...” The weak man refused to give up.
Hence, Ye Fan advised Chu Zhengliang to calm down.
“I know what you're trying to say, Uncle Liang. You want to know how I'm still alive, right? You're probably wondering if you're seeing a ghost. Don't worry because I'm going to tell you everything. As you can see, I'm alive and well. Because of what the Chu Sect did to me, I wanted to end myself. Do you know who saved me in the end? Your brother. He took me in and kept me alive. Now that I've fully recovered, I came back for you lot,” explained Ye Fan casually as if he was reminiscing about his past.
Naturally, Chu Zhengliang was shocked once again after listening to Ye Fan, for he did not think that his brother, Chu Zhenghong, would still be alive.
“I have nothing against you, Uncle Liang. Back when I visited the Chu Sect, I didn't make any other requests. I simply wanted justice in the form of an apology. However, you guys refused to even give meContent property of NôvelDra/ma.Org.
that. You left me no choice but to get physical. I just needed to be violent until I get an apology. After all, blood is thicker than water. Your brother is my father, so that makes us family. Still, you should never have treated Angie the way you did, Uncle Liang,” added Ye Fan.
With his face suddenly hardened, the man took a sip of his wine before continuing, “Angie was so young, yet you did it anyway. Don't you feel guilty about that? If you didn't harm Angie back then, why would I imprison you on Mount Chumen to make you suffer?”
After shaking his head with a chuckle, Ye Fan went on, “Did you think that old b*stard, Chu Yuan, would save you then? You thought wrong. The sealing technique I used is Celestial Magic, which was recorded in the Book of Celestial Cloud. No matter how powerful Chu Yuan is, he's still just a regular human being, so there's no way he can save you from this sealing technique. Heck, even I can't do anything about it now.”
The chilly breeze continued to blow on the top of Mount Chumen as Ye Fan talked to Chu Zhengliang like a general who had conquered a foreign country, reminiscing about the war of the past with his old rival.
That went on for a while until Ye Fan finished his wine.
Only then did he stand up, ready to leave.
“That's enough chatting for today. I'm going to visit the forbidden grounds. After isolating himself in that place for many years, Chu Yuan reached the god realm when he emerged from there. I wonder what's on the forbidden grounds. See you later, Uncle Liang. And don't worry because I won't keep you here alone for long. Soon, I'll have you reunited with your son here. After what he took from Angie, I think this sounds reasonable, don't you think so?” questioned Ye Fan rhetorically with a smirk.
When he heard about his son, the speechless Chu Zhengliang finally broke his silence and let out a burst of scornful laughter. “Do you think you can touch my son, Chu Tianfan? What a joke! He's already
mastered the Jade Eyes, which means he's now more powerful than ever. Someone who's already died once like you is no match for him. If I were you, I'd run while I still can. Otherwise, you'll die an even more gruesome death than me!”
Chu Zhengliang's hoarse voice and ear-piercing cackle sounded like the scratching of fingernails on a chalkboard.
“Is that so, Uncle Liang? It looks like you're very confident in your son. I guess we'll find out soon enough,” responded Ye Fan calmly before leaving Chu Zhengliang and the man's mindless roaring.
Ye Fan felt as if he had gotten a lot off his chest when he stepped out of the Chu residence.
Undoubtedly, he had made peace with most of his past.
If nothing else, Ye Fan knew he had the once high and mighty Chu family under his feet.
Of course, that was not enough for the man because he had yet to punish the one responsible for his and his mother's pain and suffering.
Hence, after slacking for a day, Ye Fan was ready to start dealing with Chu Yuan and the others.
Having left the Chu residence, Ye Fan led Gaius and the rest of the group to the Treasure Pavilion, a place of importance to the Chu Sect.
For hundreds of years, the sect had been keeping almost all the treasures they had gathered from all over the world deep inside the Treasure Pavilion.
Ye Fan was not about to leave empty-handed after visiting the sect, which was why he decided to raid the place.
“Hold it right there! This is the Chu Sect property. You're not allowed to be here without a handwritten permit!”
Standing guard outside the Treasure Pavilion were eighteen well-trained warriors who were sitting cross-legged on a large stone.
They guarded the place as though they were the Queen's guards defending the royal palace.
In response to those men, Ye Fan simply chuckled. “You want a handwritten permit? My fist will give it to you!”
The man would rather not waste time, and since Gaius and the others were too injured to fight, he had to take the guards out himself.
With his Dragon God Body fully activated, Ye Fan charged at all eighteen of the guards with his iron fists.
“This guy has a death wish!”
After letting out a roar, the guards all cast the iron chains in their hands almost simultaneously.
Ye Fan turned sideways to dodge the attack.
However, the chains did not fall to the ground after passing by Ye Fan. Instead, they were weaved into a net, ready to ensnare the man.
Obviously, that was a Comprehensive Array Attack.
The guards would have easily subdued a regular Supreme fighter with the move, but unfortunately, they were up against Ye Fan, who also happened to be the once famous Chu Tianfan.
Ye Fan was not afraid at all when faced with the Comprehensive Array Attack.
With the man's feet planted firmly on the ground and golden light surging all over his body, it was obvious that his Dragon God Body had already been brought into full play.
Ye Fan grabbed the chains with his bare hands and got into a tug-of-war with all eighteen of the guards.
Even though both parties fell into a stalemate, the guards were not ready to give up just yet.
With a smack of their hands, the guards all stood up almost simultaneously to add the strength of their legs to pulling the chains.
Immediately, the net formed with iron chains tightened even more.
The combined power of the guards was like ocean waves crashing on Ye Fan.
A coordinated attack of eighteen warriors fighting in unison like that was not something to be trifled with.
Even Tang Yun, the head of the Chu Sect, was no match for the eighteen Pavilion Elders' Comprehensive Array Attack.
Gaius and the others were as anxious as they could be when they saw how critical Ye Fan's situation was, but suddenly, they heard a roar.
Then, they noticed a Thunderstripe appear between Ye Fan's eyebrows as the golden light surrounding him intensified.
In just a split second, Ye Fan released an unprecedented amount of energy and blew the guards' iron chains to smithereens.
As for the Pavilion Elders themselves, they were blown away with blood spraying out of their mouths. They all fell violently to the ground and sustained severe injuries.
“Whoa!”
“That was incredible!”
Gaius and the others were utterly impressed with Ye Fan. Master was outnumbered but managed to win the fight anyway! It didn't even have anything to do with skills. He beat the Pavilion Elders with pure energy!
