A Dish Best Served Cold (The Man In Rage)
Chapter 1290 An Unusual Cave

Kong Ming and the rest would probably be scared shitless if they knew that Ye Fan was actually a supreme grandmaster.

Not too long ago, a lot of people were still commenting on how Ye Fan would be able to become a supreme grandmaster in 30 years.

The existence of a supreme grandmaster was rarer than a grandmaster.

Even for a genius like Ye Fan, this 30 year estimation was already a radical one made by Kong Ming and the rest.

But Ye Fan had already reached supreme grandmaster.

They would go crazy if they found out that he was already a supreme grandmaster at this young age!

It was a good thing that there was no one but the lake and breeze to witness what Ye Fan was doing now.

No one would know Ye Fan's real power.

It took Ye Fan nearly half an hour before he arrived and stepped onto the island.

The speed of a supreme grandmaster was as quick as lightning, but even so, Ye Fan had used such a long time before arriving at the island. It was proof of the enormous distance between the island and lakeshore.

"The spirit energy is so dense here! It's even denser than the place where the spirit energy trees grew." Ye Fan was astonished the moment he stepped onto the island.

The spirit energy around him was so dense that it seemed to have an almost tangible presence.

The trees on this island were especially thick and strong.

A tree here could be considered as an ancient tree out there in the rainforest.

"Looks like this is no ordinary island," Ye Fan muttered under his breath happily as he looked at the abundance of foliage around him that was brimming with life. Without any delay, he started walking towards the center of the island.

The wariness and apprehension that he had felt earlier were lessened greatly.

It was all because of the unique location of the island.

The island was surrounded by vast amount of water with no boats around. There were also many carnivorous creatures like crocodiles in the lake.

Under such circumstances, it would be hard for anyone to come to this island with the exception of supreme grandmasters.

And so, Ye Fan had reason to believe that this was an uninhabited island.

It was highly likely that he was the only person on this island.

Ye Fan had nothing to be worried about since he was on an island that was cut off from the world.

"This is the best place to live a secluded life. I can come here in the future when I have to shut myself from the world to cultivate and make a breakthrough. There's no way I will be bothered by enemies here," said Ye Fan to himself, as a slow smile started to spread on his face. He was in such a good mood.

The spirit energy became denser as Ye Fan walked further into the island.

But Ye Fan's relaxed and happy mood vanished when he came to the bottom of a mountain.

The wariness and apprehension that he had felt earlier resurfaced.

The surroundings of this mountain had been badly damaged.

There were ravines that ran across the bottom of the mountain.

One of the ravines even stretched for a hundred meters.

Thousands of trees had been uprooted or broken. The parts of the trees that were broken showed signs of being cut off forcefully by someone.

Even the mountain top in front of him seemed to have been sliced into half, and debris of shattered boulders and rocks were scattered on the ground.

"It looks like these cuts were made by a sword. This person's swordplay must be very powerful to be able to cause this level of damage! It looks like someone has beaten me to this place," Ye Fan frowned as he looked disappointed.

The ruins in front of him was not a good sign.

It was obvious a fight had taken place here and it looked recent.

Which meant that other powerful martial artists had already been here.

If this was the case, any treasure on this island would have been found and taken away.

Hmm... How strange, why is there a paw

mark here?"

Ye Fan was looking around as he moved about in the ruins when suddenly, a huge paw print on a broken tree trunk caught his attention.

This paw print did not look like it belonged to a human. Instead, it appeared to have been made by a huge wild beast.

In the midst of his puzzlement, Ye Fan discovered a huge corpse on the ground not far from him. When he walked up to the corpse for a close look, Ye Fan realized the corpse belonged to an ape.

The corpse was already cold for a long period of time and the blood beneath its body had dried up.

Ye Fan noticed a lot of sword wounds on the ape. The fatal wound was on its throat, where there was only one sword wound!

The sword wound spanned across half of its throat.

What was surprising was not the frightening wounds but the size of the ape. It was more than 10 meters in height. It was more appropriate to call this creature a great ape.

Ye Fan had only seen a creature this big in animal documentaries on TV.

He had never thought a frightening fierce beast like this great ape still existed in this world.

"The Book of Celestial Cloud records that natural treasures formed by the heavens and the earth would be guarded by fierce beasts. If I'm not mistaken, this great ape was the fierce beast guarding the treasure on this island. It must had been able to grow to this size because of the natural energy's nourishment," Ye Fan analyzed to himself.

But it was clear that the treasure had been taken by someone before him.

"Fuck! Another round of wasted time and effort!" Disgruntled, Ye Fan cursed.

He had thought he was in luck to have chanced upon another treasure.

Now it looked like he had been happy a little too soon.

Anyone would be angry when all the effort one had put in had gone to waste.

"Damn that intruder! How dare you snatch the treasure away from me! You had better not let me see you, otherwise I will beat you to death!"

Ye Fan had always been the one to snatch things away from others.

But now, someone else had beaten him to the treasure that was almost his. Ye Fan was really unhappy over this.

After much cursing and swearing, Ye Fan prepared to head back to the rainforest.

HUUU-

It was just at this moment that a strong gust of wind rushed by.

The sand and pebbles on the ground swirled up in the air and the foliage swayed vigorously.

"Where did this strong wind come from? Is heaven mocking at me too?" Ye Fan murmured casually. But soon, he froze and said, "No, this is not the work of wind. This is from an energy overspill." Ye Fan felt a chill down his spine and his expression became grim.

He turned and found the strong gust of spirit energy was coming from the bottom of the mountain in front of him.

"Could there be something over there?"

Like an arrow that was ready to be released from its bow, Ye Fan's body was on full alert and extremely focused. He was all ready to attack with the immense internal energy gathered on his palms.

A vigilant Ye Fan started to move slowly towards the bottom of the mountain.

As he neared the place, he saw a deep cave with its opening nestled among the trees.

The strong gust of pure spirit energy came from deep within this cave.

Ye Fan stared intently into the cave as he stood outside, but he could only see that the cave was very long and narrow. It also appeared to be running deep into the mountain. From where Ye Fan stood, the cave looked like a demon from the dark abyss, who had its mouth opened and its fangs out, all ready to devour whoever passed by.

Nobody knew what could possibly lie within this cave.
