Chapter 1804
Chu Yuan''s voice rang out loud and clear.
Sword Saint, Tang Hao, and the others felt their hearts sink at his words.
Although Chu Yuan did not spell it out explicitly, his message was as clear as day.
Once the majority believed that Chu Tianfan was the culprit, that would be the “truth” even if it
was not the correct version of events. What did the actual truth and facts matter when the people
were inclined to believe in what they wanted?
“Looks like they''re hell-bent on bringing Chu Tianfan down...” Tang Hao muttered with a heavy
heart, the worry evident in his eyes.
Sword Saint''s expression also turned grim.
Nheless, he was not about to give up just like that. He turned to the onlookers and asked
solemnly, “Do all of you agree with that? Do you agree with pinning that tragedy on Chu Tianfan
without evidence and identifying him as the culprit?”
Prince Carlo shook his head and replied, “I''m afraid that''s the reality, Heavenly Grandmaster. Apart
from Chu Tianfan, no one could''ve harbored any motive or capabilities to kill that many people
during the rainforest battle. I''m sorry, but we trust Patriarch Chu''s judgment. We can''t deny that it''s a
pity since Chu Tianfan is a terrifying genius who''s hard toe by. Losing someone like him will be
a huge blow to the martial arts world. Nheless, he hasmitted a crime and has to pay for his
actions. We must avenge the deaths of our fallenrades.”
Everyone else was also shaking their heads. Despite the pity in their eyes, their rationality told them
that Chu Tianfan had to die!
In truth, even if the events at the rainforest battle had not happened, the fighters from the other
countries would still find a way to eliminate Ye Fan.
After all, the greater one''s sess, the more detractors one had.
Maintaining a harmonious rtionship between the countries was a delicate bncing act, and Ye
Fan''s meteoric rise had disrupted the bnce within the martial arts world.
There was no way they would allow one country to have the advantage of having an incredibly
talented
martial artist.
It was practically an unspoken rule within the martial arts world!
That was also the reason why there were very few highly-talented martial artists and even fewer
who lived to a ripe old age.
Most of the talented ones would get assassinated as soon as they disyed their capabilities.
In truth, the other nations had noticed Ye Fan''s skills early on. However, he had progressed so
rapidly that he had already emerged first in the Sky Ranking before they could send someone to
assassinate him.
After that, they thought that Ye Fan''s rise would be unstoppable.
s, Chu Tian fan didn''t know to keep a low profile and crossed Chu Sect. He was asking for it.
Now that Chu Sect is determined to get back at him, this is the perfect opportunity for us to get rid of
what could''ve been a persistent thorn in our side.
“Y-You...”
Stunned at their simr responses, Tang Hao felt a sense of hopelessness descend over him.
Meanwhile, Sword Saint sighed, feeling powerless.
Chu Yuan turned to Sword Saint and said, “By now, you must already know Chu Tianfan''s true
colors. As the leader of China''s martial arts, I''m sure you''re a sensible and reasonable person.
Moreover, China''s martial arts world has always been known for itspassion and righteousness.
I trust you won''t want to tarnish your reputation for the sake of a wicked and bloodthirsty devil who
takes innocent lives indiscriminately and risk going against the rest of the world.”
His lips curled into a sneer, his words containing a thinly-veiled threat.
As his gaze fell upon Sword Saint and the others from War God Castle, he radiated a formidable
aura that caused them to wince in pain and break out in a cold sweat.
All eyes were on them as everyone eagerly anticipated War God Castle''s response.
As the supreme grandmasters of War God Castle silently pondered their next step, Li Er and Lei
San could not bear it any longer and started pleading desperately. “Sword Saint, you can''t just stand
by and do nothing! Are you really going to let one of ourpatriots die because of what they said?
Mr. Chu is a rare gem. In time, he''ll surely lead China to be the pride of the martial arts world!
Are you going to watch these foreign b*stards kill a hero like him without lifting a finger? Sword
Saint, we''re begging you...”
Soon, all those on board from China were on their knees in front of Sword Saint, Tang Hao, and the
martial artists from China. They continued to implore them fortheir help.
“War God Castle, please save Mr. Chu! Fighters of China, please save the Dragon Master! War God
Castle, please safeguard our country''s future...” they cried out in unison, filling the air with the sound
of their pleas.N?velDrama.Org ? 2024.
Li Er''s eyes reddened, Lei San wailed at the top of his voice, and tears streamed down Chen Ao''s
face.
Meanwhile, Xue Renyang and many others wept bitterly while pleading on their knees.
Their pitiful voices and emotional pleas rose in a crescendo and reverberated through the air.
Surrounded by martial artists from different nations, Ye Fan and the others were undoubtedly at
wit''s end.
Those from Dragon God Hall knew they could not stand a chance against Chu Yuan and Chu Sect,
let alone the Supremes or Grandmasters from all over the world.
Hence, their only hopey with War God Castle and China''s martial arts world.
As long as War God Castle agrees to offer their assistance and we have the protection of China''s
martial arts world, we have hope. If we join forces with War God Castle and are armed with top-tier
weapons, we might actually stand a chance to have a fair fight.
However, there was only a prolonged deafening silence.
Faced with Dragon God Hall''s desperate please and the cries of despair from Li Er and the others,
those from War God Castle remained silent.
Everyone''s gaze was fixed on them.
Would they choose to take action, or would they back down?
That was the question on everyone''s minds.
After a long while, Sword Saint finally sighed helplessly and uttered, “What goes aroundes
around. One must bearthe consequences of one''s actions.”
His brief response hit everyone like a ton of bricks.
Li Erand hispanions were stunned, their hopes dashed.
At that moment, Iwai Zen broke into wildughter. “What goes aroundes around? One must
bear the consequences of one''s actions? Nice one! Did you hear that, Dragon Master? Is this the
answer you were hoping to receive? After how you risked your life to defend China''s martial arts, is
this the response you yearned to hear from your mothend?”
He threw his head back and continued roaring withughter, an expression of mockery mingled with
contempt on his wrinkled face.
I''ve followed Ye Fan''s news for years. Although I haven''t had many chances to meet him in person,
all of us at Dragon God Hall know of Ye Fan''s passion for China''s martial arts world. He vowed to
help any martial artists from China who got into trouble, and he
prohibited Grandmasters from entering China without his permission. He even issued an order
banning the killing of martial artists from China regardless of any altercations that arose. He did
everything within his power to protect China''s martial arts world. However, all he got in return was
the reply that one had to bear the consequences of one''s actions!
Indeed, those words burst the bubble for many of them.
Li Er and the others were disheartened, while Iwai Zen and those from other countries felt that Ye
Fan did not deserve such treatment.
As Chu Yuan and hispanions cackled away, Fen Tian snickered and took the opportunity to
add insult to injury. “Well said! As expected, Sword Saint is astute at differentiating the truth from the
lies and is a man who upholds justice within the martial arts world. China''s martial arts world will
certainly flourish under your charge.”
At that moment, the situation had be clear.
Without the protection of War God Castle, Ye Fan was merely a sitting duck.
Fen Tian was the first to lift his head proudly and call out snidely, “Chu Tianfan, aren''t you going to
come forward and receive your punishment like a man? Don''t tell me you''re willing to let your
comrades suffer and die in vain because of you!”
