Chapter 1657


    “What is that supposed to mean, Bill?”


    “Are you implying a former patriarch of the Chu family, Demon King Chu, has a descendent?”


    “That is impossible!”


    “Zhenghong and | were close friends before his disappearance. How could | not know?”


    The elders of the Chu Sect were bewildered and started questioning Bill, the head of the Jones family.


    Bill fell into a pensive mood, and his mind raced back to the distant past.


    “It happened a long, long time ago, when Patriarch Chu was still calling the shots in the family.”


    His wistful voice echoed through the hall as he continued with his recollection. “At that time, Zhengliangwasthe pride of the family


    and everyone had high hopes for him. On the contrary, no one paid any attention to Zhenghong because he was a wastrel


    whose only interest was seeking the worldly pleasures in life.”


    The elders hung on to Bill''s every word, knowing he was about to reveal a big secret.


    The Chu family was the most prominent family. After their ancestors founded the Chu Sect, the family''s influence on society grew


    substantially and their every move attracted keen public interest.


    “Spill it! Stop keeping us in suspense!”


    “And how is this boy rted to the Chu family?”


    The elders impatiently probed him, eager to find out the big secret.


    “| remember it was more than a decade ago when, out of the blue, Zhenghong came home with a woman and a child in toll. She


    was a real beauty. All the women in the extended family paled inparison in terms of looks.”


    Bill paused briefly before continuing. “The main purpose of Zhenghong''s trip home was to ask for his father''s approval and


    blessing to marry her. However, the Chu family was conservative and very particr about the background of their prospective


    inws. Patriarch Chu was displeased with the match when he found out the woman was amoner from a poor rural family.


    He ordered Zhenghong to leave her, but agreed to keep the child in the family since he was the biological father.


    “Patriarch Chu''s words were final, and no one dared to disobey him. | heard Zhenghong went down on his knees to plead with


    his father. He even threatened to kill himself, but unfortunately, Patriarch Chu was unmoved. When the stubborn child witnessed


    his mother being forcefully taken away, he kicked up a big fuss and hurled abuses at the elders. During themotion, the child


    infuriated the patriarch further by yanking part of the man''s beard off. Patriarch Chu decided against acknowledging him as a


    Chu descendent. So, he threw the helpless mother and child out with the harsh order that they could not step into the family


    home ever again in their life.” There was a thoughtful look in Bill''s eyes as he was transported back to that fateful day.


    Since he was a disciple of Chu Yuan, the patriarch of the Chu family, Bill frequently had to attend lessons with his master. He


    was a regr visitor to the residence and was privy to their family matters.


    The elders gasped at his revtion. “You mean this young man is... is... that child?”Têxt ? N?velDrama.Org.


    With his gaze firmly on Ye Fan, who bore a strong resemnce to Zhenghong, Bill nodded affirmatively and replied, “Yes. If | am


    not mistaken, he is the child who was banished from the Chu family.”


    “| remember a Chu elder named him Tianfan after the ancestors appeared in her dreams. Back then, he was the only child with


    the middle name ‘Tian’. Based on his age, it is clear that he is the eldest of the family''s third generation.” Bill let out a soft sigh as


    he made that conclusion with a heavy heart.


    He never thought the pitiful little boy who was thrown out of the Chu family would return after so many years. What surprised him


    more was that helpless child had grown up to be such a mighty and powerful man.


    Mochizuki Kawa, the Japanese Sword God, had been listening attentively. He shuddered involuntarily at the news.


    Chu Tian fan is... is from the Chu family? And he is Zhenghong''s son, the heir to the family? Goodness! That exins why he


    could execute the Dragon God Body during the battle in Tokyo! No wonder Zhenghong went berserk and led the big group of


    Supremes tounch an attack in Japanafter he knew of Tian fan''s incident! Thank goodness the young man did not die in Japan.


    If not, we would be in big trouble!


    Upon realizing Ye Fan''s true identity, the fearful Japanese breathed a sigh of relief, thankful that the martial art circle in his


    country was not involved in the former''s incident. He could not imagine the consequences of the Chu family''s heir being killed in


    Japan. Although Patriarch Chu didn''t acknowledge Ye Fan as a Chu descendant, blood would always be thicker than water. It


    would not pay to risk offending the Chu family in any way.


    Just as Mochizuki Kawa was letting out a small smile thinking of his lucky break, Tang Hao and Xiao Chen, who were next to


    him, remained in a shocked daze. It was especially true for Xiao Chen. The Sword Saint''s eyes were bulging in disbelief.


    How... how is that possible? Ye Fan... is... is Chu Tian fan? No way! Chu Tian fan is already dead, so how could Ye Fan be him?


    This is not real!


    Xiao Chen was still in a state of denial after Bill''s disclosure. To him, Ye Fan was a fanatic who betrayed his country while his


    idol, Chu Tianfan, was a brave martyr. The Sword Saint simply couldn''t ept the fact.


    He pulled a long face and looked at Mochizuki Kawa, hoping for reassurance.


    “Sword God, tell me! Is he really Chu


    Tianfan? Is he the same man wh

    Xiao Chen gripped Mochizuki Kawa''s shoulders tightly, hoping to hear a rebuttal from the Sword God.


    Looking at his depressed and contorted face, thetter was both shocked and embarrassed by his question.


    Mochizuki Kawa let out a few dry


    coughs and said solemnly, OETA

    “Please, just tell him! Is Chu Tianfan that man?” Tang Hao unwittingly added salt to the wound in his desperate bid for an answer.


    With a pained expression, Mochizuki Kawa begrudgingly nodded his head. “Yes, that is him. He is Chu Tianfan.”


    “But | am surprised the War God Castle is in the dark! Just a while ago, | thought you were trying to hide from us the fact that


    Chu Tianfan is still alive.”


    Mochizuki Kawa was puzzled that China''s martial arts leaders were not aware The Nation''s Pride was still alive.


    However, Mochizuki Kawa''s words

    Mochizuki Kawa was quick to support him, but all Xiao Chen did was mumble hysterically, “Ye Fan? Chu Tianfan? Hahaha... Ye


    Fan is Chu Tianfan? Hahaha...”


    His reddened eyes were brimming with tears as he eximed, “Well done! Well done, indeed. Chu Tianfan, Ye Fan or whoever
