Chapter 2184


    At the top of Mount Yan in China, the gs were up, and the sounds of drums reverberated in the


    area.


    The fiery red carpet wasid from the foot of the mountain to the peak.


    Hundreds of attractive event models were wearing cheongsam as they stood by the sides of the


    path, greeting the martial artists and the noble guests.


    A new life had begun on Mount Yan after Chu Sect''s onught, and it seemed as if the entire Mount


    Yan had been revitalized.


    “Haha! Hello, Yang! Well, I guess we''re bound for good fortune after surviving a great catastrophe!”


    “I agree. This is all thanks to the Unrivalled Chu Tianfan. If not for Chu Tianfan''s brilliant move in the


    nick of time, China''s martial arts world might be gone by now.”


    Various martial artists chatted happily on their way up Mount Yan.


    In their opinion, the worst had passed, and the war-filled martial arts world was finally getting its


    lasting peace.


    Was that not something to be happy about?


    Should they not cheer at the thought of surviving the onught from Chu Sect''s god realm masters?


    Furthermore, Moryana, one of the pirs of China, had returned to the country. Was that not


    something to be celebrated about?


    That was why the surviving martial artists in various states of China had merrily gathered on Mount


    Yan as summoned by the War God Castle.


    “Say, why do you think the War God has summoned us here today for?”


    “Why else? The return of Moryana is delightful news for China''s martial arts world. Of course, they''ll


    have to hold a banquet to wee her back. I heard that Moryana is extremely powerful now. A few


    days ago, Moryana went to Western Epea for a fight with the foreign ancient titans to kill Chu Qitian


    at Seine River. After that, the Martial Arts Security Council released the Empyrean Ranking. There''s


    only one person from China on that leaderboard, and that is Moryana, Mu Zihua.”


    The people continued discussing as they went up the mountain, and they were all talking about Mu


    Zihua.


    Although it had only been a few days since Mu Zihua returned, she had been the focus of people''s


    attention the entire time.


    Since she had gone to Western Epea to hunt down Chu Tianqi with Asura, Odin, and the others to


    save the citizens of Baykeep, the Martial Arts Security Council made a new leaderboard above the


    Sky Ranking named Empyrean Ranking to thank the elderly warriors for their acts of heroism.


    The ones who were on the board were unrivaled fighters who were above god realm masters.


    Furthermore, there were only five people on the board, and the only person on it who was from


    China was Mu Zihua.


    In other words, ording to the international rankings, Mu Zihua was more powerful than Ye


    Qingtian.


    Nevertheless, there were people with differing views.


    “I think there''s another reason for this banquet today. China''s martial arts world is waiting to be


    revived now that War God Castle has been rebuilt. Moreover, currently, there''s also another


    organization besides War God Castle—Dragon God Hall. Other than the pirs of China, we have


    Chu Tianfan as well. Say, who do you think will be representing China''s martial arts world in the


    future? War God Castle, or Dragon God Hall? Who do you think will be the martial arts leader of


    China? The five pirs of China, or Chu Tianfan? This town is too small for the two of them...” said


    an elderly man in the crowd.


    “I agree with you. I can''t seem to get a clear picture of our country''s current martial arts world.”


    Many nodded in agreement.


    Sure enough, the current situation in China''s martial arts world was a confusing one.


    Even those who had been through many catastrophes were having trouble figuring out what was


    going to happen next.


    Initially, after Dragon God Hall''s victorious defense of Mount Yunding led by Ye Fan, everyone in the


    martial arts world thought that Chu Tianfan would be the ruler of the martial arts world.


    Moreover, they were certain that Dragon God Hall would take over as the official representative of


    China''s martial arts world.


    However, what happened next was something no one sawing.


    First of all, the International Martial Arts Union started settling the score with Dragon God Hall in


    public. Then, the Martial Arts Security Council announced to the public that Dragon God Hall was


    an illegal organization and demanded its dissolution.


    Even though the Martial Arts Security Council was forced to relentter on, after the crisis of Chu


    Tianqi was resolved, Jared and the others retracted their previous apology statement and continued


    demanding Dragon God Hall ept the Martial Arts Security Council''s previous decision.


    It was clear that the existence of Dragon God Hall was at stake.


    It did not help that Chu Tianfan had gone off the radar recently.


    The umtion of the matters made the reputation of Chu Tianfan and Dragon God Hall far


    weaker than before.


    At the same time, War God Castle had re-established itself in China and continued using Mount


    Yan, a sacrednd for martial arts in China, as their territory.


    They also continued to join international conferences as the official representative of China''s martial


    arts world.


    Everything seemed to have returned to its original state.


    Like a shooting star, the once-brilliant Dragon God Hall was gradually disappearing from the


    people''s line of sight after shining brightly.


    “Stop making random guesses. The banquet''s about to begin. We''ll soon know what the future


    developments of China''s martial arts world are and who the martial arts leader will be. Thisnd


    must not go without a leader. They''ll have to give us an answer soon, right? They''ll have to let us


    martial artists know who we''re going to serve under.”


    As the sun crawled to the top of the sky, the various esteemed guests and martial artists took their


    seats.


    Everyone was waiting for the start of the banquet.


    Li Er, Chen Ao, and the others were there, and of course, among the guests were Zhang Jiuling, the


    representative of Jiangbei''s martial arts world, and Lu Ziming.


    “Mr. Li, I heard that you''ve followed the Unrivalled Grandmaster the longest among everyone. You


    must know where the Unrivalled Grandmaster has gone, right? Why isn''t there any news about him


    for such a long time?”


    Some curious people had started asking Li Er about Ye Fan before the banquet even began.


    Li Er smiled and proudly said, “Mr. Chu is a respectable figure. Who am I to know where he has


    gone to? But I''m guessing that Mr. Chu must have been enlightened in certain ways after the battle,


    so he has gone to a quiet ce for solitary training. When he leaves his training, I''m sure he''ll shock


    the world again.”


    “Is that so? I''ll look forward to his reappearance, then. The Unrivalled Grandmaster is from China.


    The more glorious he is, the prouder we Chinese martial artists can be,” the people said as they


    chuckled politely.


    Right then, a one-eyed man walked out and scoffed.


    “Ha! Are you really believing in this old fool''s rubbish? If Chu Tianfan has truly gone into solitary


    training, why did he bring along all of the members of Dragon God Hall? Honestly, I think he fled.


    After all, he is a sinful man who has killed so many martial artists across the globe. Moreover, he


    tried to take Chu Sect''s treasures for himself. In the end, he enraged everyone. Are you saying that


    you''d be proud of someone like him? He''s nothing but a humiliation to the country!”


    Before Li Er could say anything, Zhang Jiuling, who was beside him, snapped, “How dare you say


    that? Mr. Chu saved the world and protected our country! Who do you think you are to insult him?”


    Right as a fight was about to break out, rumbling noises sounded out.

    It was deafening sounds—the sounds of firecrackers going off and musical instruments being


    yed.


    As the loud music went on, the pirs of China stepped out and appeared on the stage.


    The one standing frontmost was War God Ye Qingtian.


    “Ladies and gentlemen, I am China''s War God, Ye Qingtian. Today, I have gathered you all here for


    no other reason but to celebrate our victorious defense of the country. The Chu Sect has been


    annihted, and China''s martial arts world remains! While we celebrate our survival, we should also


    remind ourselves of those who had passed on and those who contributed to the victory. Therefore,


    please raise your sses to a toast. The first toast is to the Unrivalled Grandmaster, Chu Tianfan.”


    Ye Qingtian lifted his ss and turned around to face Chu Tianfan''s towering bronze statue.


    “To the Unrivalled Grandmaster!” the people beneath the stage yelled as they lifted their sses to


    toast to Ye Fan''s statue.


    He was worthy of their respect.


    After all, if not for Ye Fan, how many who were present at the banquet would still be there?
