Chapter 1618
Whoosh!
The turbulent and icy wind howled while enveloping the entire sky.
As the figure emerged from the darkness, an aura as domineering as the thunderstorm descended upon the scene.
Van Buping, Ke Zhe, and the others were stunned by the sight.
Slowly, a sense of dread began to creep into their hearts.
“M-Mr. Van, w-who is that?” one of the Grandmasters asked in a soft yet terrified tone.
However, Van Buping remained silent as he continued to stare intently at the figure before them.
For some reason, he felt as if there was something heavy hanging over his head the moment he saw the man.
In fact, he could even feel his breathing bingbored.
Considering that even Van Buping felt pressured, it went without saying that the sensation was stronger for Li Er, Lei San, and all
the othermon folks.
In fact, all of them felt as if they were suffocating.
“What a powerful aura.”
“This feeling... Can it be...”
Holding that thought, Li Er looked up. As he narrowed his gaze, he almost jumped up in excitement.
“Mr. Li, are you saying...”
When they saw Li Er''s response, Lei San and Wang Jiexi suddenly thought of something.
The next moment, their bodies trembled as their eyes widened in shock.
They weren''t alone in their reaction. Simultaneously, Xu Lei and the others looked ahead with anticipation and delight.
Even He Yurou, who had been standing by theke in silence, felt a jolt of emotion within her.
Standing on her toes, she looked out far and strained her eyes to get a clearer look at the figure''s face.
Could it be him?It should be him, right?
“It definitely is,” she muttered under her breath.
At that moment, He Yurou didn''t understand why she was so excited and filled with anticipation to see him.
After all, she wasn''t even friends with him and they barely had anything to do with each other.
In spite of that, she was still hopeful that the youth would turn out to be him.
At that moment, the crowd at Yunwu Lake began to feel so anxious that they even held their breath.
Even though no one could clearly see the figure''s face, many in the crowd couldn''t resist picturing it in their minds.
Just when everyone waited with anticipation, Ke Zhe furrowed his brows at the figure within the darkness and demanded, “Who
are you to try and pull such a ghastly stunt in broad daylight? Speak your name at once!”
One second...
Two seconds...
For a whole ten seconds, no one responded at all.
The only sound that could be heard was the pitter-patter of raindrops and the terrifying footsteps of the figure.
Just when Ke Zhe grew impatient and wanted to ask again, an indifferent voice rang out through the torrential rain.
“I''m Ye Fan of Jiangdong.”
Boom!
The few words blew everyone''s mind.
As Yan Buping trembled and Ke Zhe widened his eyes, China''s top five Grandmasters felt a shiver down their spines.
As for Qiu Mucheng, who was being held captive by Ke Zhe, she felt her body jolted for a fleeting moment before her eyes
began to redden.
“Haha!”
“Mr.Chu!”
“It''s Mr. Chu!” “Mr. Chu is here!”
“The King of Jiangdong is back!”
“Everyone, quick! Follow me to greet Mr. Chu!”
Ye Fan''s appearance was greeted with joy by some and dread by others.
In contrast to the grim expression on Yan Buping''s face, Li Er was screaming in delight as he darted forward to greet the dark
figure.
“Mr. Chu, wee back! Li Er at your service.”
His words sent shockwaves throughout the crowd.
At the same time, Lei San and Wang Jiexi who were following Li Er from behind quickly joined in the wee.
“Wee back, Mr. Chu. Lei San of Jingzhou, at your service.”
“Wee back, Mr. Chu. Wang Jiexi of Jianghai, at
your service.”
“Wee back, Mr. Chu!”
Their voices thundered in all directions.
When Van Buping and the other Grandmasters saw the hundred-odd men drop to their knees and heard them bid the figure
wee, their faces turned ashen at once.
“Mr. Van, w-what are we going to do?”
“S-Should we flee?”
What they were worried about had now be reality.
They had assumed that they would be able to avoid Ye Fan duringthe kidnap.
Hence, none of them expected the man himself to appear in the end.
Suddenly, Van Buping and the others felt trapped.
Just then, Ke Zhe scoffed. “What are you panicking for? We still have the War God Castle, King of Fighters, Sword Saint, and
China''s War God backing us. Regardless of how powerful Ye Fan is, there''s no way he can take us all on. Besides, we are the
top five
Grandmasters. Why should we be afraid of a youngling like him?”
Before Yan Buping could reply, one of the Grandmasters asked Ke Zhe with a terrified expression, “But don''t you forget, despite
his young age, Ye Fan is a Supreme Grandmaster. Are you saying that you''re going to challenge him?”
All this while, a Supreme Grandmaster was worshiped like an idol within the martial arts world.
Even though Yan Buping was the highest-ranked Grandmaster, it never crossed his mind to fight a Supreme Grandmaster.
It wasn''t because he had not tried it before. Instead, he was actually afraid to even think about it.
To Yan Buping and the other Grandmasters, a Supreme Grandmaster was the equivalent of being invincible, as it was the
highest level attainable in the martial arts world.
Usually, they would ord the War God Castle''s Six Pirs of China the utmost respect and never even considered challenging
them.
Therefore, they began to feel nervous when Ke Zhe dered that he wasn''t afraid of Ye Fan.
Still being as indifferent as ever, Ke
Zhe spat, “Is he really a Supreme
Grandmaster? Who knows, ma
he''s a fake. Ev ayquahiovelysne
sayy athe nas the power of a
Supreme, has any one of you actually
seen his true strength? Besides, if he
really has the power of a Supreme,
why doesn''t Sword Saint and the
others organize an official ceremony
to recognize it?” Please read the

He continued, “Back then, the title of
the Unrivalled Supreme was given
osthumously. My guess is that n
p y. My g Ort
if Ye Fan is str she can''t
bexhaahidch stronger. After all,
martial arts training takes a very long
time. Given that he is only in his
twenties, there''s no way he can
achieve Supreme Level unless he
started training in his mother''s
womb.” Please read the original

All this while, Ke Zhe had doubted Ye Fan''s strength.
Back then, Ye Fan''s Supreme identity was first revealed after the battle in Boguia.
At that time, War God and the others assumed that Ye Fan had fallen. Having no other concerns, they awarded Ye Fan the title
of Unrivalled Supreme.Têxt ? N?velDrama.Org.
However, to many in the public, the posthumous title was given as an honor to the dead instead of a true sign of one''s strength.
“What about the battle of Jiangbei where Ye Fan wiped out the Lu n? Lu Songliang was stabbed by his sword and
consequently pinned on a stone pir by it. Given that everyone knows about the incident, how can Ye Fan''s strength be fake?”
another Grandmaster asked.
“Lu Songliang was the lowest rank
Grandmaster of all. After sealing
himself off for training for many
years, he dered that he had om
ee
did briy\ ne really see it? Therefore,
the battle of Jiangbei doesn''t show
much. It only proves that Ye Fan is
slightly stronger than a Grandmaster.
However, don''t forget that Lu
Songliang was fighting alone back
then. But now, there are five of us
here!” Ke Zhe exined with a deep
voice. Please read the original

Having been convinced by Ke Zhe, the other Grandmasters fell silent as they nodded to express their agreement.
After listening to Ke Zhe''s theory, the fear they felt toward Ye Fan began to diminish.
“Enough. Let''s not talk about that now. If we can avoid conflict, we''ll try our best to do so.” With a
steady voice, Yan Buping made his stance clear.
With that, he looked ahead and asked grimly, “Are you the Unrivalled Supreme? Bying here, you''ve saved us the effort to
search for you. We are here under the instructions of the War God Castle to inform you of your punishment!”
