Jaw-Dropping Son-in-Law

Chapter 2217

The instant Zhao Zhenlu ended his sentence, the entire peak of Mount Yan went dead silent.

Everyone wet themselves as they turned to Zhao Zhenlu with a look of pity and horror, thinking he looked like a buffoon.

Following Zhao Zhenlu's roar, Ye Fan looked at the former coldly and blinked, just as they expected.

The crowd saw the air in front of Ye Fan tremble before he shot a bout of fierce, blade-like aura toward Zhao Zhenlu.

The attack landed squarely on Zhao Zhenlu's chest. Content from NôvelDr(a)ma.Org.

He cried out in agony as his ribs were broken and blood spurted out of his mouth.

Bearing the pain, he stood up and exclaimed, “You have some balls to attack me!” He may be scarily powerful, but I'm not afraid! Why should I when War God Castle, Chen Jiuzhou, and China's martial arts world stand behind me? I'm not afraid of anyone but Chen Jiuzhou.

“What are you all standing there for? This lunatic trespassed into Mount Yan and injured a high-ranking official of War God Castle! As your superior, I'm ordering all of you to slay this madman immediately!” Zhao Zhenlu was thoroughly enraged. It doesn't matter if I can't defeat him since all the martial artists here are at least Grandmasters! They'll no doubt work together to eliminate this intruder on my order!

To his surprise, the martial artists who usually flattered him were pretending not to hear him.

“What are you all doing? Why aren't any of you attacking him? Don't you all want to get a spot in Dragon Gate Project?” Despite his angry yelling, no one in the scene paid attention to him.

Moreover, people like Kong Ming had already stepped far away from Zhao Zhenlu in fear, as though they didn't want to be associated with him.

It was then Zhao Zhenlu realized something was wrong.

Just as he wondered about Ye Fan's identity, the latter chuckled and mocked, “Even if you shout at the top of your lungs, they won't listen to you, so just stop. While I, Chu Tianfan, was rampaging across China and terrifying the entire world, you were probably polishing someone's shoe at an obscure corner of the planet.” I don't want to waste any more words on this insignificant nuisance of a man.

As he strode toward War God Castle, the martial artists made way for him, even though he was stepping on the sacred ground of China's martial arts world.

Not even a single one of them dared to utter a word, much less stop him.

Only someone like Zhao Zhenlu, who had no knowledge of the person he was dealing with, would dare to block Ye Fan's path.

Once Ye Fan was almost out of his sight, Zhao Zhenlu asked tremblingly, “H-He's Chu Tianfan?”

He could never imagine Ye Fan would show up in Mount Yan just as he was talking about the latter.

Meanwhile, Ye Qingtian, who had received news of Ye Fan's arrival, hurriedly arrived before the latter and spoke anxiously. “Why are you here, Ye Fan? Hasn't the matter in Jiangdong been resolved? I beg you, please just let it go already and stop stirring up trouble. China finally has some peace. Are you really going to start another war just as the country's recuperating?”

The first thought that entered his mind when he heard Ye Fan had arrived at Mount Yan was that the latter desired revenge against Chen Jiuzhou for what happened in Jiangdong.

“Relax, I'm a man of my word. I promised in Jiangdong I won't start a war, and I intend to fulfill it. I'm not going to act despicably as War God Castle,” spat Ye Fan coldly.

Ye Qingtian could hear the resentment in Ye Fan's voice. It's evident that he still has a grudge against War God Castle. “I admit, we didn't handle the Jiangdong's matter as well as we could've. However, you must understand that the people's desire for a united country has been carved into their genes over the course of five thousand years. Your desire to make Jiangdong an independent entity violates our ancestors' wishes and will destroy the country's unity. Sooner or later, you must resolve the problem of Jiangdong's martial arts world's affiliation and jurisdiction. I hope you already have ideas about how to overcome this issue.”

He was being honest with Ye Fan as he expressed War God Castle's genuine attitude.

Upon hearing that, Ye Fan sneered, “Do you think War God Castle still has the right to manage China's martial arts world? China almost fell at the hands of Chu Sect because of War God Castle's incompetence. If not for my backup in Jiangdong, China's martial arts world would've been annexed by Chu Sect. I won't lie, Ye Qingtian. I also wish to see the country be united. However, the one to do that shouldn't be War God Castle anymore.”

After spending so much time in the martial arts world, he had a pretty thorough understanding of War God Castle.

He believed it was a wholly corrupted organization and that entrusting Jiangdong or the entire country to them would spell their deaths.

“How can you say that, Ye Fan? I admit War God Castle was lacking in strength during the war against Chu Sect. However, the organization has grown stronger. In addition to Moryana's return, we even have a prodigy like Chen Jiuzhou joining us. We can stand on our own two feet now. Furthermore, after the initiation of the Dragon Gate Project, China has continuously produced countless Grandmasters and even a supreme Grandmaster. If things continue down this path, War God Castle's might will soar at a meteoric rate in just one or two years. When the time comes, China's martial arts world will return

to its former glory! I hope that, when that time comes, you'll be willing to return Jiangdong's martial arts world to us and allow us to keep the peace so we can achieve the dream of a united martial arts world in China!” stated Ye Qingtian sincerely.

That was War God Castle's plan for the future.

They would take back Jiangdong's martial arts world, one way or another.

In response, Ye Fan sneered, “That's a good plan. I'm just worried you all may be betrayed without realizing it.”

Ye Qingtian furrowed his eyebrows. “What do you mean by that, Ye Fan?”

Instead of talking about Jiangdong, Ye Fan changed the subject. “Nothing in particular. We'll talk about Jiangdong's matter in the future. I'm here because I have something that may require your assistance. I heard War God Castle had enacted a training program called Dragon Gate Project. Is that true?”

Ye Qingtian nodded with a smile. “Yes. Martial arts worlds from other countries are doing something similar, so China has to keep up with them. The success of Dragon Gate Project will determine whether China's martial arts world will return to its former glory!”

It was apparent he was confident in the project.

“Can you tell me about this program in detail? Like the general gist of it,” inquired Ye Fan.
