A Dish Best Served Cold (The Man In Rage)
Chapter 1863

"Yes, Father. Why did you bring this up suddenly?"

"Isn't the accident that happened to Lu Clan over? Don't tell me that the Westlake incident is related to this person from Jiangdong..." Zhang Zijiang, head of the Zhang family, interrupted.

Back then, the incident that happened to Lu Clan caused a huge stir because a lot of people died.

Not to mention that Lu Clan fell apart after that fateful night.

Any incident that involved the death of more than ten people was considered a major safety accident.

However, since the incident involved hundreds of deaths, the media were all fighting to cover the headline news.

Zhang Zijiang had doubts about whether the incident was purely an accident or carefully staged.

However, the investigators from the province did not suspect any foul play.

Another group of investigators was sent from Yanjing after the province closed the case, but they reached the same conclusion. Furthermore, the head of Lu Clan, Lu Ziming, seemed to have accepted that and did not pursue the matter after going back to Jiangbei.

After so many years, everyone also believed that it was just an accident.

Nobody expected Zhang Jiuling to bring it up.

"Accident?"

"Do you really think it's just an accident? Don't you know that the family members of Lu Clan are all prominent figures in the martial arts world? Especially the head of the family, Lu Songliang. He is more powerful than I am."

"Even I can survive bullets. What do you think caused the death of a Grandmaster? And the deaths of hundreds of people in Jiangbei? What can cause the greatest clan in Jiangbei to fall in one day?" Zhang Jiuling asked in a serious tone.

Zhang Xu and the others turned pale as they had never felt this horrified before.

"Was the incident staged?" "Impossible! The investigation teams from the province and Yanjing said it was an accident..." Zhang Xu shook his head, unable to believe what he had heard.

If it really wasn't an accident, why would the country hide the truth from the public and let the perpetrator get away with it?

Were they afraid that the public would panic?

Or were they too afraid to cross the perpetrator?

"Enough."

"Stop being so naive. You're not kids anymore. You should know that anything you see in this world is only what those in power choose to show you. By shielding you from darkness, do you truly think that darkness will cease to exist?"

"When you find things beyond comprehension, it is because you are narrow-minded and inexperienced."

"I can tell you that the fall of Lu Clan is not an accident. The man from Jiangdong was the one who killed their whole family!"

"He wiped them out single handedly!"

Silence ensued as Zhang Jiuling's voice echoed through the vast hall.

All that could be heard was the eerie sound of cold wind blowing relentlessly through the window.

Completely stunned, Zhang Xu and the others stared at Zhang Jiuling in disbelief.

Zhang Zixi yelped, "That man killed the whole of Lu Clan?"

"How is that possible, Grandpa? Didn't you say that Lu Songliang was more powerful than you? Even if Mr. Chu is a Grandmaster, he can't be stronger than you. How did he manage to kill the whole of Lu Clan? Besides, I can't tell that Mr. Lu hates Mr. Chu," Zhang Zixi shook her head as she said.

How can this be?

She knew very little about the outside world due to all the years spent training indoors with Zhang Jiuling.

It was the same for Zhang Xu and Zhang Zijiang too.

Since Zhang Jiuling made sure that they stayed away from the martial arts world, they didn't know much about everything that was already known by people who kept in touch with the martial arts world. "Grandmaster?" Zhang Jiuling laughed helplessly. "If Mr. Chu is just a Grandmaster, why will I be afraid of him? I could have beaten him on my own, but sadly that is not the case."

Zhang Zixi asked, "Can it be that he is one of the Six pillars of China? That is the only explanation for the reason you are afraid of him! Only if he is one of the Six pillars of China that he will be able to kill the whole of Lu Clan and get away with it without Lu Ziming coming after him!"

Everything made sense now.

It was then only Zhang Zixi realized how scary Ye Fan was.

No wonder he was fearless when facing the attacks of so many people.

Besides, his presence was intimidating enough to the others.

He was none other than Mount Yan's pillarof China.

However, Zhang Zixi still found it hard to believe that a pillar of China could be someone so young.

Zhang Zixi used to be proud of being a step away from achieving Grandmaster at the age of twenty-six.

However, her achievements seemed nothing when she compared herself to Ye Fan.

Finally, Zhang Zixi felt anxious and defeated.

Growing up hearing the stories of the legendary pillars of China, her biggest dream is to conquer Mount Yan by the age of sixty and become one of the Six pillars of China. However, her dream was easily achieved by Mr. Chu when he was barely thirty.

Zhang Zixi's confidence was shattered by the truth.

The Zhang family members were too shocked by the fact.

Facing the petrified faces of his family, Zhang Jiuling merely shook his head and sighed, "Seems like you've been kept away from the martial arts world for too long. You still don't understand how scary this man is.

"You may think that the pillars of China are the most powerful people in the world, but you're wrong."

"Chu Tianfan is not one of the Six pillars of China. He is way more powerful than all of them! He is at the top of the Sky Ranking and the god realm. He is scary enough for all of the martial arts experts in the whole world to join forces against him!"

The news came as a shock for everyone because they thought Ye Fan was one of the Six pillars of China.

Zhang Zijiang was shocked to the core while Zhang Xu's face went pale white.

As for Zhang Zixi, she almost fell to her knees as her legs went jelly.

Their minds were blank.

At the top of the Sky Ranking?

The strongest in the god realm?

More powerful than the Six pillars of China?

Oh my god!

It was out of their imagination because they thought the Six pillars of China were the most powerful in the world.

However, Chu Tianfan was more powerful than those living in Mount Yan.

Could it be that he is an immortal who had descended to the human world?
