Chapter 2106
At the peak of Mount Yunding, all the hustle was left behind Ye Fan the instant he turned around.
Eyes glinting, he stared ahead of him with unprecedented calmness.
Chu Sect's army stood before him, and the whole scene looked like it came straight out of an ancient war-themed movie.
Tens of thousands of troops had laid siege to the place, yet the only person who came out to engage in the fight was the man named Chu Tianfan.
As Ye Fan gradually approached the frontline of the army step by step, Chu Yuan, who had been frowning the whole time, finally saw the newcomer's face.
It's Chu Tianfan! It's really him! No one could sense the utter shock and surprise Chu Yuan felt at that moment.
He could not fathom how Ye Fan was still alive.
In the past, Chu Yuan had mobilized all his forces to surround and eliminate Ye Fan.
He marshaled the power of the entire martial arts world and finally forced Ye Fan to end his own life with a sword.
Chu Yuan never anticipated the person he had known to be dead to return after a few years.
“D*mn it!”
“Isn't he dead?”
“Why is he still alive?”
Chu Yuan was not the only one caught in bewilderment. All the other Chu Sect's elders standing behind Chu Yuan were also losing their minds as they felt chills running down their spines.
A few elders Ye Fan nearly killed in the past even began to subconsciously shudder in fear.
As Chu Sect's elders, they had behaved as they pleased without having any fear their whole lives, but the same could not be said when they faced Ye Fan, as all of them were genuinely frightened of him.
Previously, Ye Fan had visited Chu Sect twice, and he had beaten them to a pulp on both occasions.
If not for Chu Yuan's desperate measures to salvage the situation, Ye Fan might have wiped out the entire Chu Sect a few years ago on his own.
“Tell me. How did you survive? Who saved you? Was it that d*mned old woman?” Chu Yuan questioned Ye Fan angrily while the other members of Chu Sect remained overwhelmed by shock and horror.
Chu Yuan had won every battle in his life, and the strategies he devised had never failed.
His plans had always panned out as he anticipated, except when he had to deal with Ye Fan, someone whom he had banished from the sect years ago.
The latter had been the cause of the derangements of his schemes on multiple instances.
During Ye Fan's second visit to Chu Sect a few years back, Chu Yuan had meticulously formulated a perfect plan that would certainly render Ye Fan unable to escape the sect's facility.
Unexpectedly, Ye Fan had utilized a trick to persuade the current head of Chu Sect, Tang Yun, to release him.
Not only that, but he had also successfully convinced her to leave Mount Chumen with him.
Chu Yuan nearly lost his most competent disciple when Ye Fan almost brought Tang Yun back to China and made her his wife.
Naturally, no one else in Chu Sect was informed of that matter aside from Chu Yuan.
The leader of Chu Sect had unbelievably eloped with the sect's greatest enemy.
If that matter was made known to the public, not only would Chu Yuan suffer from great humiliation, but Chu Sect's reputation would also be tarnished.
Therefore, Chu Yuan did his best to cover up that incident.
Still, there was no way to contain the burning fury within him.
That was the first time Ye Fan had bested him, and now was undoubtedly the second time Ye Fan thwarted his plan.
“How dare you!”
Right after Chu Yuan spoke, Ye Fan suddenly flew into a rage.
His initially calm facial expression turned cold.
“Great-grandma is the most authoritative person in the Chu family. She's the family's guardian and matriarch, as well as the woman who gave birth to and raised you. Any members of the clan with the Chu family's blood flowing in their veins sincerely revered her. In contrast, you, Chu Yuan, betrayed your ancestors, brought disgrace to the family, and insulted your birth mother in public. Even animals have the innate sense to be grateful to their parents. In comparison, you're worse than a beast. Are you even qualified to consider yourself a human?”
Ye Fan spoke with justice and dignity while staring at Chu Yuan with an icy expression.
His bellows reverberated loudly and clearly in the air, resonating in the minds of those present.
Ye Fan's speech was straightforward and incisive. He first highlighted The Grand Old Lady's supreme status in the Chu family from the social hierarchy point of view. Then, he chided Chu Yuan for being a disrespectful person and an unfilial child.
After being scolded by Ye Fan, even someone as shameless as Chu Yuan could not help but feel embarrassed.
Ye Fan's words also affected the fighters from Chu Sect. Their perception of Chu Yuan had undergone slight changes as they began looking at him differently.
Apparently, they did not expect Chu Yuan to be so ruthless to the extent of verbally abusing even his biological mother in his state of panic.
After all, no disrespectful or unfilial behaviors from anyone could be condoned under any circumstances.
“Old Master was indeed too impulsive.”
“How could he offend The Grand Old Lady?”
“Ultimately, The Grand Old Lady is still the most senior in the Chu family. She's a great benefactor of the Chu family for protecting the Chu residence for almost a century.”
“Old Master shouldn't have spoken ill about The Grand Old Lady...”
All the Chu family's descendants were dissatisfied with Chu Yuan's impudence and thought the latter's manner of speech had crossed a line.
Chu Yuan also undoubtedly realized his loss of composure after noticing his subordinates' reactions.
He immediately tried to make amends.
“Quit spouting nonsense to deceive the crowd, brat. I wasn't scolding The Grand Old Lady. I was referring to your lowly, despicable mother. I advise you not to ruin my reputation with your slander.” Chu Yuan gave a forced explanation while wearing a grimace.
Ye Fan sneered. “How many people here do you reckon will believe in your explanation?”
“You!” Chu Yuan gritted his teeth in exasperation.
His elaboration was indeed too feeble.
Ye Fan's mother was merely a weak and helpless commoner, so there was no way she would have the ability to rescue him.
Anyone with a clear mind could figure Chu Yuan was throwing shade at The Grand Old Lady earlier.
“Grandpa, quit talking nonsense with him! That b*stard has a sharp tongue and is very adept at misleading others. You'll never win against him in an argument. Let's hurry up and kill him so we can acquire the Book of Celestial Cloud as soon as possible.”
After taking a few moments to regain his strength, Chu Qitian walked over while glaring at Ye Fan hatefully.
He truly never anticipated Ye Fan, the abandoned child, to have the guts to show himself at Mount Yunding. Ye Fan is indeed a reckless fool! Previously, we didn't have sufficient strength in Japan, so we had no choice but to let Ye Fan leave. But now, aside from my master, Tang Yun, and the Demonic Duo, almost the entire Chu Sect's most formidable fighters are gathered here.
Therefore, in Chu Qitian's opinion, Ye Fan's advent was no different from voluntarily walking into a trap and seeking his own death. This time, Ye Fan will definitely meet his end here.
Chu Yuan nodded after listening to his grandson's advice. Property © NôvelDrama.Org.
He didn't want to waste another breath talking to Ye Fan.
Subsequently, he turned to look at Ye Fan and gave the latter his final warning. “I lack the patience and time to bicker with you. Although I am curious how you survived in the past, on second thought, the details are not important at all because you will meet your end here today. You escaped by luck once, but I'll never let you get away twice. However, I'll give you one last chance to live because the Chu family's blood runs in your veins.”
Suddenly, Chu Yuan stretched out his arm and waved his hand.
Swoosh!
The next second, the sound of a sword being unsheathed reverberated in the air as a long sword belonging to a Chu Sect's fighter standing behind Chu Yuan flew out.
Clang!
The long sword slashed through the air and pierced the piece of land in front of Ye Fan.
“Use this sword to cut off your arms and relinquish your cultivation. I'll let you live if you do as I say.” Chu Yuan's cold voice sounded.
Not a hint of familial affection laced his frigid tone.
No one would have believed that Ye Fan was actually Chu Yuan's grandson.
“What are you waiting for? What's the matter? Do you want me to cripple you personally? If that happens, you're not just losing your arms because I'll be taking your life instead.”
Chu Yuan looked down at Ye Fan while uttering those words indifferently as if he was blessing Ye Fan with mercy by giving him an alternative.
Ye Fan's reappearance merely shocked Chu Yuan and did not invoke any other emotions within the latter.
Just as Chu Qitian had described, Ye Fan's arrival at that moment was no different from walking into a trap and courting death.
