Chapter 1706


    Ye Qingtian was so distracted by Ye Fan''s greatness that hepletely missed Tang Hao''s point.


    “No, the Chu family did not submit to him. Chu Yuan showed up at the veryst minute and injured Ye Fan severely,” Tang Hao


    replied, snapping Ye Qingtian back to reality.


    The look of pride on his face was immediately reced by anxiety as he pressed on, “Welt? What happened after that? Did you


    two help him out? Did Ye Fan manage to escape? Honestly, that brat sure is a stubborn one! I''ve warned him not to


    underestimate the Chu family''s power, but he never listens! Now, look what he''s done! He got that old monster toe out of


    hiding!”


    “| think we should assume him dead...” Tang Hao replied with a sigh.


    “Don''t give me that crap! | want to know what happened in the end! Did Chu Yuan engage Ye Fan inbat?” Ye Qingtian asked


    anxiously.


    Tang Hao shook his head. “Sword Saint and | left halfway through the battle, so we don''t know what happened afterward—”


    Sword Saint cut him off mid-sentence, “I don''t think we need to see it to know what happens. Chu Tianfan may be as powerful as


    the Sky Rankings top three, but he has also expended a huge amount of energy fighting those continuous battles. Chu Yuan


    was the Sky Ranking''s strongest ten years ago. Even if he hasn''t ascended to the god realm, he''d at least be halfway there by


    now. Judging by the huge power difference between them, it''d be safe to assume that Chu Tianfan is dead.”


    He sounded like he was really certain that Ye Fan had died inbat.


    To his surprise, Ye Qingtian got furious upon hearing that.


    “So you two abandoned Ye Fan and returned to China because you were afraid of being caught in the crossfire? Is that why you


    guys just left him to die?” he shouted with a gloomy look on his face.


    Unsure of why he was so angry at them, Sword Saint snapped back at him coldly, “What do you mean afraid of being caught in


    the crossfire? Do you think I''m doing this for myself? I''m doing this for the sake of China''s martial arts forces! Do you seriously


    want the War God Castle to challenge Chu Yuan and the entire Chu family because of Chu Tianfan? He''s not even a member of


    the War God Castle, so we have no obligation to protect him! Also, before leaving Mount Chumen, | have announced to all


    martial arts leaders in the world that the Unrivalled has been removed from China''s Supreme list. From now on, there will only be


    five pirs of China!”


    “What? | trained Ye Fan and made him one of China''s Supremes! How dare you remove his title without my permission, Sword


    Saint?”


    Ye Qingtian''s anger was so intense that the table in front of him broke into pieces instantly.


    Noticing that War God looked ready to fight Sword Saint, Tang Hao quickly tried to defuse the situation. “Calm down, Ye. None of


    us expected this to happen. Given how powerful the Chu family is, Sword Saint did what he had to do. | mean, Ye Fan tried to


    take on the entire Chu Sect alone! We had to cut ties with him orthe Chu family might think China sent him there.


    Sword Saint had no choice but to sacrifice him for the greater good!”


    “Greater good? What greater good? Are you two going to deliver me to the Chu family too if they wanted to kill me?”


    Ye Qingtian got so mad that he shattered the tile beneath his feet with a powerful stomp before storming off. “Ye! Come back, Ye!


    Damn it! What the hell is going on here?” Tang Hao shouted as he ran after Ye Qingtian, but thetter refused to listen.Belonging ? N?velDram/a.Org.


    With that, Sword Saint and Tang Hao were all that remained in the War God Castle.


    It was the first time they had ever found the ce to be so cold and empty.


    Sword Saint''s resolve began to waver after a prolonged moment of silence.


    “Tang Hao, do you think what | did was wrong? Should we have stood by Ye Fan''s side till the bitter end?” he asked while staring


    nkly at Tang Hao.


    For the briefest of moments, Tang Hao felt as if he could see the signs of aging on Sword Saint''s handsome face.


    “You weren''t wrong, Sword Saint. Neither of us was. As the Hall Master of War God Castle, there wasn''t much you could''ve done


    in that situation. Besides, we didn’t know that he was Chu Tianfan at the time. We had no idea he was this strong. Honestly, |


    doubt we could''ve changed anything by helping out. Who knows, we might even end up getting all of China''s martial arts forces


    in trouble if we did! Don''t think too much about it, Sword Saint. With everything that has happened, it doesn''t matter who''s right


    or wrong anymore. What''s done is done. Right now, we should focus on devising ns to deal with the threat from the Chu


    family and the Chu Sect.”


    Tang Hao was feeling extremely conflicted as well.


    | don''t want to leave Ye Fan behind, but it was his own decision to attack them like that. He has no one else to me but himself.


    As for Sword Saint... While his decision may have been a little extreme, he didn''t really have much of a choice in that situation.


    Personally, | don''t fully agree with him removing Ye Fan''s title as the Unrivalled. After what Ye Fan has done for the country, it


    seems awfully cold to just disavow him like that.


    Of course, Tang Hao kept those thoughts to himself as Ye Qingtian''s words had hurt Sword Saint badly enough.


    He feared Sword Saint would break down mentally if he were to lecture him too.


    Sword Saint nodded after hearing what Tang Hao said.


    “Still, War God did have a point. | feel


    like | was being a little too

    final form of repayment for him.”

    Sword Saint seemed to have thought things through and actually wanted to hold a funeral for Ye Fan.


    Tang Hao nodded in agreement.


    “Yeah, this is a good idea! Still, | think


    we should keep thiggs.qujet OV bah

    He too, believed that Ye Fan was most likely dead and even agreed to help Sword Saint hold a funeral for him.


    Ye Fan and the Chu family have been enemies to begin with, so there''s no way Chu Yuan would let him go after he nearly wiped


    out the entire family!


    With that in mind, Tang Hao walked up to the window and nced at the ocean in the distance.
