Chapter 2181


    The rise of a new king would always encounter countless oppositions.


    Jared was one of the well-established martial arts elites. It was not surprising for him to feel


    threatened by the emergence of Ye Fan.


    Ever since a long time ago, Jared would rather crown Chu Yuan as the strongest than allow a


    young fighter like Ye Fan to take over the world.


    Many from the older generation shared the same sentiment as Jared, which was why throughout Ye


    Fan''s journey, he had to go through so many trials and tribtions and face countless enemies and


    hostility.


    However, when faced with a life-and-death situation, Jared could no longer care less about his own


    discrimination against Ye Fan.


    Just like what Ye Qingtian had mentioned, Ye Fan was probably the only person that could go


    against Chu Tianqi in this entire world.


    When everyone was on the same page, someone in the crowd asked, “But, how are we supposed


    to find Chu Tianfan? We don''t even know where he is right now.”


    The sudden question made all eyes turn to Ye Qingtian.


    Despite feeling embarrassed, Jared bit the bullet and voiced out what everyone was thinking. “War


    God, Chu Tianfan is from China, just like you. Moreover, you have the closest rtionship with Chu


    Tianfanpared to the rest of us here. Will you take on the solemn responsibility of saving all of


    mankind? You have to find a way to find Chu Tianfan and ask for his help. Tell him that if he''s willing


    to help, the martial arts world of the whole will be willing to apologize. Also, tell him that we''d


    agree to any of his requests as long as it''s reasonable.”


    Jared no longer cared about his pride and dignity, not when his country was facing grave danger. All


    he wanted was for his country to ovee the current crisis.


    As for the future consequences, he would just cross the bridge when he came to it.


    To his dismay, Ye Qingtian merely scoffed icily. “Hmph! So now you''re asking for my help? Why


    didn''t youe to me in the first ce and ask for my opinion when you headed to Mount Chumen


    to ambush Ye Fan? You''re the definition of using others for your own benefit and disposing of them


    once they can no longer bring you advantages! I despise those shameful and disgraceful actions of


    yours! Yet now, you have the audacity to ask me to butter up Ye Fan on behalf of the International


    Martial Arts Union? Let''s not talk about whether or not I can find him. Even if I do manage to find


    him, I do not have the courage to make such embarrassing requests!”


    Ye Qingtian refused immediately.


    After all, he really could not bring himself to do something so dishonorable.


    “War God, calm down. What had happened in the past was all just a misunderstanding.”


    “This is a crucial time right now. We have to consider the big picture. I''m sure you wouldn''t want


    Yanjing of China to be attacked too, would you?”


    Aaron and Carlo tried persuading Ye Qingtian, too.


    “I don''t care. You got yourselves into this mess, so it''s your job to get yourselves out of it. I refuse to


    clean up after your mistakes!” Ye Qingtian turned his face away in anger.


    He was so furious that he beganughing out of disbelief.


    Previously, he did not attend the congress of the International Martial Arts Union and had asked Mo


    Gucheng''s son to take his ce.


    One could imagine his shock when Mo Wuya reported to him what had happened when he


    returned.


    Ye Qingtian was livid back then.


    Unfortunately, he knew that his hands were tied. In the end, China was still a minority in the


    International Martial Arts Union. There was no way he could have changed their minds.


    The union had not respected China''s opinion when they chose to ambush Ye Fan.


    Yet now that they needed help from Ye Fan, the union expected China to be the spokesperson.


    It was only natural that Ye Qingtian refused to do something so shameful for the union.


    “You—”


    Seeing how adamant Ye Qingtian was, Jared and the rest were helpless.


    However, they knew that they were in the wrong. Hence, they no longer dared to ask Ye Qingtian for


    help.


    “How about this? Let''s apologize to Chu Tianfan through various media tforms. At the same time,


    we''ll ask Chu Tianfan and the people of Dragon God Hall to help us fight this battle.”


    At the end of a long discussion, they came up with that conclusion.


    Once the meeting was over, the Martial Arts Security Council gave Chu Tianfan a public apology,


    making use of all major social media tforms to ever existed.


    “Due to the negligence of the International Martial Arts Union, numerous misunderstandings had


    been stirred up between the union and the members of Dragon God Hall which is under the


    leadership of Mr. Chu Tianfan. The International Martial Arts Union wishes to offer our sincerest


    apology to Mr. Chu Tianfan from the depths of our hearts. Mr. Chu Tianfan, please contact us


    immediately upon seeing this message. The martial arts world is currently facing an extreme threat


    that is unlike anything in the past. We hope that Mr. Chu Tianfan would let bygones be bygones and


    join forces with us as we fight this battle together. Every request proposed will be considered and


    discussed.”


    A well-written apology consisting of over a hundred words spread across the martial arts world of


    the entire like wildfire.


    “What''s going on?”


    “Are the MASC chickening out?”


    “Didn''t they just announce that they''re gonna disband Dragon God Hall?”


    “What is going on?”


    “Weren''t they acting so smugly only a few days ago by issuing the people of Dragon God Hall an


    ultimatum? Now they''re just gonna turn a one-eighty and ask Chu Tianfan toe out of hiding and


    help them?”


    Soon, the topic became the most trending search in the Martial Artist Forum.


    Some were curious about the situation while some were questioning the change of events, but most


    of them were mockers.


    The public was mocking the Martial Arts Security Council for being selfish and shameless.


    All sorts ofments filled the screens.


    Within minutes, the Martial Arts Security Council became the biggestughingstock among the


    martial artists of the whole world.


    “Hahaha! From the looks of it, they''ve gotten into some trouble, and now they''re seeking Mr. Chu''s


    help! How ironic!”


    “Serves them right!”


    “What a bunch of despicable losers!”


    “Mr. Chu is not going to help you.”


    “Fend for yourselves!”


    In the meantime, Li Er was beyond ecstatic when he caught wind of the news.


    He was exhrated.

    Those scumbags from the MASC are finally exposed for who they are! Serves them right!


    “Hahaha! Now that''s what I call karma!”


    The sound of Li Er''sughter could be heard all over the manor. Overjoyed, he downed multiple


    sses of beer to celebrate.


    On the other hand, the martial arts leaders of the Martial Arts Security Council were not having as


    much fun as Li Er.


    That was especially the case for Jared. Ever since he returned to his country, he could not eat or


    sleep. He paced around restlessly every day.


    In the short span of just an hour, he had given China a few phone calls, asking if there were any


    news on Ye Fan.


    Unfortunately, the replies he received always disappointed him.


    The apology letter was like a rock sinking unceremoniously into the ocean. It did not seem to stir up


    any effect at all.


    Meanwhile, a majority of the members of Dragon God Hall had been taking shelter in Elysian Hall


    ever since they departed from Mount Chumen.


    Junie was in charge of the Elysian Hall in India. Her main purpose was to provide Ye Fan with a


    strong backup.


    As such, after the members of Dragon God Hall had arrived, Junie employed the power of Elysian


    Hall along with the cooperation of the Vias family—Noa''s family, and sealed the surroundings within


    a one-hundred-mile radius.


    Not even a bird could fly out of the region.


    That was the reason why the International Martial Arts Union failed to find the members of Dragon


    God Hall despite all of their efforts.


    “Junie, have you read the formal apology letter from the Martial Arts Security Council?” Noa came


    looking for Junie to discuss the matter.


    Junie frowned and said impassively, “It''s probably a trick to lure Ye Fan out of hiding.”


    To her surprise, Noa shook her head slightly. “Not necessarily. I heard that a lot of people died in


    Remdik. It looks like the work of a powerful fighter in the martial arts world. The MASC might have


    encountered a terrifying and powerful enemy. Otherwise, they wouldn''t forgo their pride and publicly


    apologize to Ye Fan.”


    “Maybe, but that''s not important. Even if those ungrateful jerks are really in trouble, I will not let Ye


    Fan interfere and help.” Junie did not care about the truth. Her only concern was Ye Fan himself.


    “Yeah. Speaking of Ye Fan, has he not returned?” Noa asked. A hint of worry could be detected in


    her voice.


    The night after Ye Fan led the members of Dragon God Hall to India, he bid farewell to Junie, saying


    that he wanted to go elsewhere to recuperate.


    Thereafter, he left with Huangniu without another word. Since then, Junie had not seen him.


    Junie shook her head in response to Noa''s question. “That b*stard has always been like this.


    There''s been no news from him ever since he left. He sure knows how to keep people worrying for


    him.”
