Chapter 1802


    Even though they were still a distance away and couldn''t make out the faces in the crowd, the joy


    felt by everyone on the cruise ship was beyond measure.


    They waved their arms and shouted gleefully at the approaching crowd.


    However, just as everyone was cheering and dancing, Ye Fan''s brow had knitted into a frown.


    The others might not have noticed it, but Ye Fan could feel a suffocating chilling toward them.


    In fact, he could even detect the murderous intent underthat spine-chilling aura.


    The next moment, Xu Lei turned to Ye Fan as she smiled besottedly at him.


    “Ye Fan, why aren''t you happy?” she asked. “There are so many people here to wee us home!


    You went to the Chu Sect alone and turned it upside down, yet you still managed to escape


    unscathed. Do you have any idea what an impressive feat that is? Honestly, I wouldn''t be surprised


    if people start worshippingyou as their role model and hero. When you''re giving your speechter, I


    want to be on


    camera too! After all, it''s an honor to be associated with someone as heroic as you.”


    Ye Fan remained silent as he continued to stare ahead.


    After a long while, he finally spoke up. “Lei, I don''t think those people are here to wee us.”


    “A-Are you sure? But if that''s not their intention, what are they here for?” Xu Lei asked, looking very


    perplexed.


    The ship continued to sail, cutting through the water like a knife through butter.


    Behind them was the vast, blue ocean, while thousands of figures loomed on the horizon in front.


    The more Ye Fan stared at the sight, the more he felt a sense of impending doom.


    Just then, Li Er looked through his binocrs and furrowed his brows.


    “Wait, that doesn''t look right!” he said solemnly. “I don''t think those people are from China.”


    The next moment, however, he went into a state of


    panic.

    “1-1 think it''s the Chu Sect... Yes, I see their zing sun with clouds mark. Oh, sh*t! It''s them!


    Those are the Chu Sect members!”


    As they got nearer, Li Er and the rest could finally see the people clearly.


    Contrary to their initial thoughts, the crowd hadn''te to give them the hero''s wee.


    Instead, they were all martial artists from the Chu Sect.


    It was quite a sight to behold as their war gs, decorated with the familiar zing sun and clouds,


    pped wildly in the wind.


    Now that Li Erand the others had seen who the other party was, they were ashen-faced and visibly


    shaken.


    “Hurry, turn the ship around!”


    “Retreat! Now!”


    In the blink of an eye, fear and desperation gripped everyone on board the cruise ship as panicked


    cries and screams rang out.


    Unfortunately, it was far toote to retreat.


    Just as Li Er was about to steer the ship around, the rumbling sounds ahead of them got even


    louder.


    “Chu Tianfan, you''ve shown the world your evil and bloodthirsty ways. Not only have you murdered


    countless martial artists, but you have also brutally massacred many others. Your actions are


    unforgivable! Therefore, we''ve gathered here today to passjudgment and bring you to justice! Chu


    Tianfan, turn yourself in now!”


    “Turn yourself in!”


    “Turn yourself in!”


    The thousands of Chu Sect members chanted in unison, their deafening roars causing the earth to


    shake.


    Gusts of wind started blowing, turning the sea choppy as waves came crashing in.


    Just like that, the once calm weather had taken a frightening turn for the worse.


    Massive waves continued to roll in like a tsunami of nightmarish monsters, threatening to swallow


    any


    ships in their way.


    In the face of such an intense force generated by the thousands of martial artists, the ten-thousand-


    ton ship was pushed out and eventuallynded in Chu Sect''s ambush.


    Once the ship stopped, Li Er and the others scrambled to their feet and looked around in panic. To


    their horror, they had gotten surrounded.


    “H-How is this possible?”


    “W-What''s going on?”


    Every person surrounding them exuded a powerful, intimidating aura that sent chills down their


    backs.


    The one in the lead had even taken to the sky with his hands behind his back.


    Naturally, Long Baichuan, Xue Renyang, and the others were all shell-shocked at the sight that


    greeted them. “W-Why are there so many martial artists?”


    Even though China was a big country, it had only about two to three thousand martial artists.


    But now, there were at least five thousand martial artists on all sides.


    Including the one thousand who had followed Ye Fan, it wouldn''t be an exaggeration to say that half


    of the martial artists in the entire world had gathered there.


    Then again, that was only speaking in terms of numbers.


    When it came to the power of the martial artists, Ye Fan''s team felt even more despair.


    All it took was one sweeping nce to see that there were at least twenty supreme grandmasters


    who could casually hang in the air.


    “My goodness!”


    “W-Whatdothey want?”


    Everyone onboard the cruise ship was on the verge of a mental breakdown, overwhelmed by the


    sudden turn of events.


    They had thought that being near the borders would grant them safety and security.


    No one had thought that leaving the wolf''s den would lead them straight into the tiger''s mouth.


    To make matters worse, their opponents currently were a lot stronger than the Chu Sect.


    “H-How did this happen? A-Are these people all from the Chu Sect?” Li Er stammered, trembling


    uncontrobly from the abject terror he felt.


    Long Baichuan and Xue Renyang shook their heads gravely.


    “No. Other than the Chu Sect, there are also those from the martial arts world. I see Aaron from


    Remdik, Prince Carlo from Western Epea, and even the King of India, Fen Tian. In short, the world''s


    most powerful supreme grandmasters have all gathered here...” Long Baichuan muttered as worry


    lined his forehead.


    Iwai Zen, too, looked grim and solemn.


    Other than the bigwigs Long Baichuan mentioned, he had also spotted the martial arts leader of


    Japan, Mochizuki Kawa.


    Why have they alle here? What on earth is happening?


    Like everyone else, Iwai Zen had many questions but no answers.


    If it''s just the people from Chu Sect hunting us down, that''s perfectly reasonable. But why would


    martial artists from other countries be here as well? What business is it of theirs?


    “Darn it. Things aren''t looking good...” Long Baichuan muttered under his breath.


    The four Dragon yers are gone, and Dragon Master has also lost his powers due to injuries. We


    had strength in numbers when we went up against Chu Sect, but that''s not the case now! As much


    as I hate to admit it, Dragon God Hall’s in deep trouble.


    “General Long, what should we do now?” Li Er asked anxiously.


    “Let''s not panic yet. Until we find out what''s happening here, there''s no need to get our panties in a


    bunch. Dragon Master''s grudge is against the Chu Sect, so the others might only be here for the


    show. Furthermore, Dragon Master is one of China''s martial artists. If they dare attack us right on


    China''s borders, I believe Sword Saint and the others wouldn''t leave us be.”


    After a pause, Long Baichuan added, “Let''s send Dragon Master back into the cabin first. He''s


    already severely injured, and we can''t let anything else


    happen to him.”


    Immediately after, he ordered his subordinates to help Ye Fan to the cabin and instructed Xu Lei


    and Chiike Shizuka to look after him.


    Once he knew Ye Fan was safe, he stepped out with Iwai Zen and greeted the martial artists,


    “Greetings, everyone. We''re on our way home and only happened to pass by here. We mean no


    harm, but I''m not sure if we can say the same for the rest of you. Can someone please tell us what''s


    the meaning of this?”


    Aaron and the rest remained silent. After all, they weren''t the main characters for the day.


    The spotlight was still on the Chu Sect, so naturally, most people expected them to reply.


    However, before anyone from Chu Sect could speak up, Fen Tian stepped forward and looked


    down at Long Baichuan condescendingly.


    “Haha! Where''s Chu Tianfan, though? I remember him being so brave and proud all those years


    back when we were in the rainforest. What''s the matter now? Has time turned him into a sniveling


    coward?” he scoffed. “So instead of showing his face, he has


    sent his pathetic subordinates to die in his ce?”


    Amidst his raucousughter, Fen Tian suddenly attacked with a burst of Qi.


    Boom!


    The deck cracked, and the impact sent Long Baichuan flying backward, spewing blood as he did.
