Chapter 2195


    “You''d better go get some rest first. Leave the rest to me.” Old Madam Chu''s voice gradually rang


    out.


    Ye Fan had been channeling his Internal Energy into Angie''s body for the past three days. He rose


    to his feet in exhaustion and was all ready to leave the room.


    The second he stood up, he felt weak and dizzy.


    Evidently, his body had been pushed to its limits.


    No matter, I''ll do whatever it takes to have Angie regain consciousness!


    “Sorry for troubling you, Great-grandma,” uttered Ye Fan softly.


    He stepped out of the room right after that.


    The breeze outside was refreshing as the sun bathed thend in its warm light.


    Ye Fan stood there, taking in the fresh air and soaking up the sun. The overwhelming fatigue within


    him seemed to fade away as he gazed at a vige woman chasing ckie around on the streets.


    At that point in time, he felt a sense of peace and tranquility.


    However, he simply could not lift his mood because of the guilt and remorse buried deep down.


    Wheeling around, he shifted his attention to Angie, who was still in need of treatment.


    Angie wouldn''t have been in this situation if it hadn''t been for me. She''s still so young. There are so


    many wonders of life she hasn''t experienced and so many ces in this world she hasn''t been to.


    She could''ve had a future ahead of her. A year of lifespan just wouldn''t cut it! I must break through


    god realm no matter what. Angie must live on. Since I already wiped out Chu Sect and realized my


    wish, now is the best time for me to head to Folo Mountain and focus on my cultivation. Oh, right! I


    ought to make a trip to Jiangdong and settle a few more things there before I leave.


    Standing in the courtyard, Ye Fan began to n for what he would be doing next.


    In the past, Ye Fan had worked on his cultivation in the hope of confronting the Chu family to seek


    justice.


    Now that Chu Yuan had already gone six feet under and the patriarch of the Chu family had also


    been reced, it was time for Ye Fan to put an end to the grudge he had been holding for ages.


    At longst, he could do away with all the burdens and truly live a life for himself.


    Yet, as Old Madam Chu had said, it would take time for one to break through god realm. It looks like


    I''ll be out of the martial arts world again for a very long while, I guess.


    Ye Fan''s priority at the moment was making sure that hisrades who had battled alongside him


    were in good hands.


    As soon as he set his mind to it, he wasted no time departing for Yunzhou. He did not even take a


    minute to recuperate.


    In the meantime, there was a convoy of luxury cars in front of a manor in Yunzhou.


    A middle-aged man, named Zhao Hongtu, got out of the vehicle and stopped right before the


    manor''s main entrance.


    “We''ve reached the Li residence, Mr. Zhao. This is where Li Er lives,” reported one of the


    subordinates respectfully.


    Zhao Hongtu bobbed his head before spearheading the initiative to march forward.


    “Do you mind informing Mr. Li that I, Zhao Hongtu from Journey Group, am here to visit him?” He


    shed a grin at the security guard behind the gate.


    It was evening at that time.


    The front gate of the Li residence was tightly shut.


    “My apologies. Mr. Li is not feeling well. All visitations will be rejected. Please leave.”


    The guard''s tone was ice-cold as he turned them away.


    Instead of getting enraged, Zhao Hongtu merely waved his hand, signaling his subordinates to


    come forward.


    At once, two burly men stepped forward andnded a hard kick at the gate.


    Boom!


    The sturdy, steel-welded iron gate contorted and copsed to the ground on the spot, throwing a


    cloud of dust into the air.


    “Y-You guys...”


    The guards were frightened out of their wits. They slumped onto the ground and backed off in terror.


    “Please excuse our recklessness.”


    Zhao Hongtu pressed his palms together and bowed.


    Putting on a polite front, he acted as if he was a well-mannered gentleman.


    Just like that, Zhao Hongtu waltzed into the main hall of the Li residence.


    “Show yourself, Mr. Li. There''s no running away. You can''t be hiding forever, you know. If you still


    refuse to see me, I''ll tear this ce down.”


    Zhao Hongtu''s deep voice rang out in the living room and echoed across the entire manor.


    Silence then ensued for a couple of minutes.


    Five minutes soon passed.


    Unfortunately, the man Zhao Hongtu was expecting never came into sight.


    “Do we continue to wait, Mr. Zhao?” queried the subordinate.


    Zhao Hongtu''s mien was as grim as death.


    Just when he was about to take action, a short, plump middle-aged man steadily approached with


    the support of a child.


    Upon witnessing Li Er''s presence, Zhao Hongtu burst intoughter. “Ah, Mr. Li, you''re finally here.


    For a second there, I thought you were going to go into hiding for the rest of your life.”


    He went up to Li Er and offered a gesture to help thetter to the couch.


    “Save it, Mr. Zhao. Lin can do the job just fine,” said Li Er nonchntly as he sat on the couch.


    He then continued with a frosty tone, “Tell me. What are you here for?”


    “Oh, it''s nothing much. I just happened to learn that you, Mr. Li, have served Mr. Chu for years,


    hence worthy of his trust. Seeing that he has taken with him abundant treasures from Chu Sect, I


    suppose you know where he stored them.” Zhao Hongtu wore a grin as he picked up the teapot


    from the coffee table and poured Li Er a cup of tea.


    Those words only served to enrage Li Er.


    He mmed his palm on the table and admonished, “Don''t you think you''re too greedy, Zhao


    Hongtu? Not only did you take control of Mount Yunding Vi, but you even pushed Mucheng Group


    to the verge of bankruptcy. You''ve been messing with my fellow members all this time. If anything,


    you brought only disaster to Jiangdong. Haven''t you had your fill of those selfish desires already?


    How dare you still covet Chu Sect''s treasures?”


    He paused for a bit to ponder before adding, “So what if I know where they''re stashed away? Chu


    Sect was purged by Dragon God Hall and Chu Yuan died at the hands of Mr. Chu. Whatever


    treasure Chu Sect may have, it''s only right that it all be in Dragon God Hall''s possession. If you


    want to get your hands on the treasures, by all means, try to take on Mr. Chu and get past Dragon


    God Hall!”


    Livid, Li Er balled his fists.


    Truth be told, he had been tolerating their misdeeds the whole time.


    Back when those peopleid im to Mount Yunding, Li Er stifled his disapproval.


    Later, they forged an alliance with other prominent families in Jiangdong to cripple Mucheng Group


    before annexing thepany and freezing its assets altogether. Li Er put up with them as well.


    Never would he have expected those savages to cross the line by stepping into the martial arts


    world and having their hearts set on acquiring Chu Sect''s treasures.


    Goodness gracious! Their greed knows no bounds!


    “Haha! Simmer down, Mr. Li. Mr. Chu is a legendary figure in China. He yed an important part in


    our battle against Chu Sect. He''s the hero of our country. Since we''re allpatriots, we really


    shouldn''t treat each other as outsiders. We''re only worried that those treasures might fall into the


    wrong hands, especially people from foreign countries. After all, a person''s treasures will always


    arouse the envy of others. It''d be more secure if they were handed over to the council for


    safekeeping, don''t you think?” reassured Zhao Hongtu.


    Then came Li Er''s refute. “The council? What kind of association does a private establishment like


    Journey Group have with the council?”


    In fact, Li Er had run a background check on Journey Group.


    Thepany was helmed by the Zhao family, one of the prominent families in thergest city of


    China, Zhonghai.


    A few months ago, right after Ye Fan had retreated from Mount Chumen with everyone from Dragon


    God Hall, Zhao Hongtu and his elder brother, Zhao Hongyuan, suddenly stationed themselves in


    Jiangdong.


    A smile spread across Zhao Hongtu''s face as he shook his head and said, “You can be so naive,


    Mr. Li. Do you really believe that there''s still a need for anyone to start a business from scratch in


    this era? Journey Group might appear as nothing more than a private establishment owned by the


    Zhao family, but no matter how influential the Zhao family is, we couldn''t have mobilized so many


    Grandmasters. Think about it.”

    Li Er froze upon hearing that. “You''re saying that War God Castle sent you here?”


    Not a word escaped from Zhao Hongtu. The man merely hung his head low and took a sip of tea


    with his lips curled upward.


    “I should''ve known from the start!” Li Er clenched his fists at that.


    “If War God Castle hadn''t given the green light, no one in the whole of China would''ve got the nerve


    to get under Mr. Chu''s skin! Nobody would even dare to encroach on thends of Jiangdong! Aren''t


    you afraid that I''d report all your doings to Mr. Chu? Do you not fear Dragon God Hall''s revenge at


    all?” questioned Li Er in a stern voice.


    Zhao Hongtu shook his head in return. “If you''re thinking of repaying Mr. Chu''s kindness, Mr. Li,


    take my advice and don''t report anything to him. I bet you already know that Dragon God Hall has


    beenbeled internationally as an illegal organization. As for Mr. Chu, he has received the utmost


    attention from the martial arts world all over the globe. Now that all eyes are on Dragon God Hall


    and Mr. Chu, what do you think the consequence would be if Mr. Chu were to do something


    unbing again? I''m pretty sure you''d never wish for him to meet the same fate as the poor Chu


    Yuan.”


    Li Er went quiet all of a sudden. He sat still with his lips buttoned for a long time.
