A Dish Best Served Cold (The Man In Rage)
Chapter 1800

Meanwhile, Sword Saint, King of Fighters, and Heavenly Grandmaster had gathered over in the War God Castle at Mount Yan, China.

Prince of Fighters, who had just been given the Supreme title, was also present.

The frigid wind from Summerbank howled like a wild beast as heavy snow fell everywhere at the foot of the mountain.

Although the heating in the main hall of the castle had been turned on to the maximum at this time, it did nothing to ease the frigid atmosphere.

"This issue has been blown out of proportion, Sword Saint. The martial arts leaders from all countries in the world are all joining in, not to mention Chu Yuan, who is most likely a god realm fighter. It can be said that the entire martial arts world has been affected. China is in danger..."

Tang Hao and others appeared grave and anxious as they looked at the red expedited documents gathered from all parties at the table.

China has never faced such a dangerous situation for hundreds of years! Back then, only the fighters from Chu Sect were involved in the invasion by their sect. However, all the martial arts leaders around the world have gathered now.

Anyone could well imagine the immense pressure the War God Castle was facing at present.

"It's all Chu Tianfan's fault! He's crazy! Why did he have to provoke the Chu Sect? How could a youngling defend himself against the best sect in the world?

Now he has brought great disaster upon China!"

King of Fighters was extremely anxious.

As the Hall Masters of the War God Castle, they had to shoulder the burden of ensuring the country's safety.

Now that the entire country was in danger, there was no way they would not harbor hatred for Ye Fan.

After all, everything had happened because of Ye Fan, and he was the one who started the mess right from the start.

"Don't put it that way, King of Fighters. He has already publicly announced that he no longer has any connections with War God Castle, and his actions are his own. Maybe he also had no intentions of dragging China into this," Tang Hao explained.

"No intentions? If he truly didn't intend on dragging China into this mess, why is he still heading here now? Look what he's done. He has put our country in danger, and we're stuck in an awkward position of fighting or not fighting. So what should we do now?"

King of Fighters became angrier the more he thought of it, his knuckles cracking as he clenched his fists.

"I've told you long ago that Chu Tianfan will bring disaster. I'd suggested getting rid of him when he was still weak, but not only did you all not listen, you even gave him the title Supreme. Look at how bad things are now. It's getting out of hand, isn't it?" he said coldly.

Tang Hao and the others lowered their heads in guilt and remained silent.

"At this point, what's the use of talking about it? Is there any news from War God? Have those who had been sent to invite him over returned?"

Sword Saint remained expressionless, merely asking about Ye Qingtian.

The son of King of Fighters, Prince of Fighters, replied,

"They've returned, Sword Saint. However, they couldn't find Mr. Ye."

"Where did Ye run off to now? He's always nowhere to be found during critical moments." Tang Hao stamped his feet in frustration.

"If they weren't able to find him, stop looking. We won't wait for him anymore. Let's just head over."

Sword Saint sighed and stopped hesitating, preparing to head over with Tang Hao and the others.

"But what should we do after getting there, Sword Saint? Should we protect Chu Tianfan or not? Also, regarding the Chu Sect, how should we communicate with them? Please tell us how we should act!" At present, things were getting out of hand.

Various forces had gathered, and because Ye Fan originated from China, the country's martial arts world had also been pushed into the limelight.

The entire martial arts world was focusing their attention on War God Castle at present, eager to know their response to this matter.

Sword Saint gave a brief response to the inquiry.

"No matter what happens next, we must keep one principle and bottom line in mind: Foreigners are not allowed to enter our sacred country. As for the other matters, we'll adapt according to the situation." He looked resolute with his fiery gaze, his deep voice carrying an unwavering and imposing power to it.

Soon, four figures launched themselves forward like an arrow shot from a bow at Mount Van, heading toward the borders.

"Huh? That's... the direction of the War God Castle?"

The movements at Mount Van naturally attracted the attention of those with keen perceptions.

Within Yanjing, several prominent families with spies everywhere were also on high alert.

"Yanjing's underground queen, Xu Lei, hasn't shown up for several days. The head of the Xue family, Xue Renyang, hasn't returned after leaving his home a few days ago. Recently, there's been a large-scale mobilization of border defense forces. All the martial artists of China have gathered. Now, even the supreme grandmasters guarding the hinterland have left the capital."

"My goodness! What has happened to our world? Is doomsday approaching?"

As they say, experts would be the first to notice a change in circumstances.

The informants of those prominent families in China naturally would report such changes.

Within a short period, the heads of those families were consumed by panic and fear.

Contrary to them, the vast majority of ordinary citizens were not aware of everything that was going on.

They continued to live their days as they normally did by going to work, having fun, and raising children.

The sun continued to rise from the east, and birds still chirped noisily as usual.

However, little did they know that the world might be coming to an end.

"Look, Mr. Chu. Such a pretty blue sky and sea!"

The cruise ship that Ye Fan and the others were on board was still riding through the waves of the distant

ocean.

Ye Fan, who had rested all night, was still weak. Nevertheless, he did not wish to stay in the cabin, so he asked someone to help him to the deck to gaze upon the horizon.

Standing beside him was the girl he had met several times in Japan years ago, Chiike Shizuka.

The timid little girl back then was now a pretty young lady.

Although she had a slender figure and a small waist, she was well-endowed, which would have made many women extremely envious.

At that moment, Chiike Shizuka was pointing at the sea and talking to Ye Fan happily.

The latter merely smiled in response.

Despite seeing her cheerful expression, it did not improve his originally gloomy mood much.

"You should go back to see Director Chiike more often, Master. All these years, she often thinks of you and even calls your name in her sleep." Iwai Zen smiled softly at Ye Fan from his side.

The latter hummed in agreement. "If everything's well in the future, I'll go out more often and explore places that I've never seen before, such as the snowy landscapes of Sky Mountain and the mountainous regions of Kransbay. This world is actually quite beautiful..."

As he said those words, Ye Fan unconsciously thought of Tang Yun.

Even though she gave up the world's highest authority for me, I couldn't help her realize even the simplest wish.

"Indeed, Master. The world is a beautiful place. In the past, we missed out on so much because we were moving too quickly. If it weren't forthis incident, I was actually planning to inform you that I wish to leave Dragon God Hall and step down as a Dragon Slayer, Master. After all, I've already achieved my mission as a Dragon Slayer in forcing the Chu family to apologize. I'm getting old and don't have long to live, so I only wish to spend my remaining days with my granddaughter."
