A Dish Best Served Cold (The Man In Rage)
Chapter 1705

Bill was worried about the safety of his daughter, so Tang Yun's words came as a huge relief.

It's obvious that Tang Yun is trying to protect my daughter by declaring that she'd take her in as her disciple when she comes of age. After all, no one would dare harm a disciple of the head of the Chu Sect! Still, I can't help but wonder why Tang Yun would go so far to protect Angle... I don't remember them being that close, so why is Tang Yun being so nice to Angie all of a sudden?

Unable to comprehend the reasoning behind it, Bill decided not to dwell on it.

With his biggest concern being taken care of, he no longer had to worry about the Chu Sect plotting against Angie in the future.

Although his plan of getting connected to the Chu family via marriage of convenience was no longer possible, it wasn't exactly a bad thing either.

Given the severity of Chu Qitian's injuries, it was hard to say if he would make it out alive.

Even if he did survive, his martial arts capabilities would surely have taken a huge dive, so there would be no point investing in him anyway.

Tang Yun's definitive decision instantly stopped everyone in the Chu Sect from talking about taking action against Ye Fan.

As for the Chu family, they were too busy recovering from their injuries to even think about getting revenge on him.

While Angie was spared from her fate of marrying Chu Qitian, the Jones family grounded her once again with tighter security to prevent her from contacting Ye Fan. Just like that, Mount Chumen returned to its usual state of peace and tranquility.

Ye Fan and his group were still on the way back to China, but Sword Saint and the others had already made it back to Mount Yan as they left earlier.

Ye Qingtian had been watching over the War God Castle the whole time.

With the King of Fighters severely wounded and neither Tang Hao nor Sword Saint around, China was incredibly vulnerable due to the lack of martial arts

forces.

As such, Ye Qingtian had to remain in the War God Castle to oversee everything in the martial arts world.

At dusk, the sound of a jet engine's whirring could be heard at the landing zone outside Mount Yan.

Ye Qingtian came running out the moment he noticed it and saw Sword Saint exiting the jet with Tang Hao.

"Huh? Why are you two back so soon? I thought this trip would take at least two to three days!" he asked in confusion. "We've got trouble, War God! Big trouble!" Tang Hao shouted anxiously.

Ye Qingtian frowned upon hearing that. "What happened?"

"Hey, guys! Let's talk inside, okay?" Sword Saint cut them off and motioned at them to enter the War God Castle.

"What did you say? Chu Yuan isn't dead? That old man is still alive?" Ye Qingtian leapt from his seat in shock after hearing Sword Saint's explanation.

The authoritative look on his face was replaced with shock and solemnity.

The last time I heard about Chu Yuan was about ten years ago. He was the world's strongest fighter at the time and nearly unified all martial arts forces around the globe. I still remember how terrifying he was when I fought him back then...

"How is he still alive? I remember him being gravely wounded and brought to the Chu family's forbidden grounds where he waited for his death! How on earth could he possibly be alive?"

Ye Qingtian found it both unbelievable and terrifying at the same time.

All martial arts forces in the world used to live in fear of Chu Yuan's wrath, so Ye Qingtian's reaction toward him still being alive was perfectly normal.

"More importantly, how is his power now? He should be really weak, right?" he asked anxiously.

That was his primary concern at the moment.

Given how powerful the world's martial arts forces have become, they would have no reason to fear Chu Yuan if he wasn't as strong as he was before.

Sword Saint shook his head and replied sternly, "We wouldn't have returned in such a hurry if he were that weak. I hate to be the bearer of bad news, but Chu Yuan has become a lot more powerful than before In fact, it's possible that he has ascended to the god realm. I think China should start making preparations, War God."

The people of China had always been vigilant, and Sword Saint was no different.

He began thinking about how they would handle Chu Yuan ever since he saw him at Mount Chumen.

Chu Yuan had started a huge war when he was number one on the Sky Ranking back then. Now that he had become even stronger, no one could predict if he would repeat that and lead the Chu Sect into battle again.

Ye Qingtian fell silent as he went into deep thought about the situation.

After what seemed like forever, he finally regained his composure and said, "We should indeed start making preparations for the worst-case scenario, but we're not out of the fight just yet. If we join hands with Japan's martial arts forces and receive support from Moon God, we could defeat the Chu Sect. Besides,

China's martial arts forces have also gotten a lot stronger than before. I mean, Ye Fan was able to take on multiple powerful fighters from the Chu Sect all by himself! Even if Chu Yuan decides to start another war, it would take him years of preparation before he can do anything. That should give us plenty of time to train in preparation for the war. I will put Ye Fan through special training and devote all of China's resources to help him surpass his current level. Given his talent for martial arts, it is possible for him to ascend to the god realm and even get into the top three on the Sky Ranking!"

Ye Qingtian got so carried away with his plans that he didn't even notice the gradually deepening frown on Tang Hao's face.

After a brief moment of hesitation, Tang Hao let out a sigh and said bitterly, "I'm afraid you're in for a disappointment, Ye. You see, Ye Fan has most likely fallen..."

Ye Qingtian tensed up upon hearing that.

"What happened to him? What is it this time? Don't tell me he's dead?"

He asked the question even though he already expected the answer to it.

Seeing as Sword Saint remained silent, Tang Hao continued, "Ye Fan showed up at the wedding banquet too. His real identity turned out to be Chu Tianfan, the guy who terrorized Japan back in the day. He is the illegitimate son of Chu Zhenghong, the former head of the Chu family. Ye Fan was eventually kicked out of the Chu family, so he launched an assault on Mount Chumen with a bunch of powerful fighters in an attempt to exterminate the Chu family."

Tang Hao then proceeded to give Ye Qingtian a brief summary of the events that took place on Mount Chumen.

To his surprise, Ye Qingtian got excited when he heard that Ye Fan had singlehandedly defeated Chu Zhengliang, the Infernal Duo, and several other powerful fighters from the Chu family.

"Haha! I can't believe this little rascal managed to hide his power from me so well! Given how strong he is, it's no wonder he'd dare take on the Chu family all by himself! His strength far surpasses mine! So, what happened next? Did the Chu family members submit to him?" he asked while laughing out loud.
