Chapter 170: Chapter 169: Astonishing Heritage
Mo Chou explained, "The disciples of the Green Emperor Sect are spread throughout North Arica. They have a total of eight Commanders, two Sect Leaders, and five Elders. The Elders are the strongest, followed by the Sect Leaders, and the eight Commanders are formidable as well. They represent the pinnacle of the Green Emperor Sect’s combat strength. Aside from them, I fear no one!"
Mo Chou revealed the Green Emperor Sect’s power structure to Ye Fan.
Ye Fan asked, "How strong are their Elders?"
"I’m not sure, but Wan Chou knows! Of course, not all the Elders support Mo Jue. Three Elders, one Sect Leader, and four Commanders support him. I have the support of one Sect Leader and one Elder, while the rest remain neutral," Mo Chou explained.
Ye Fan said, "It seems a trip to the Green Emperor Sect is necessary. Uncle, do you truly wish to sever ties with them?"
"Yes," Mo Chou stated firmly. "The current Green Emperor Sect is no longer the sa as it was. Breaking away from them is crucial. If this continues, they will eventually drive the Mo Family to ruin!"
This was not only his desire but also the wish of his late father. They had begun planning this ten years ago, but they hadn’t made any headway before his father passed away.
At this point, Ye Fan said, "If that’s the case, it might be easier to handle. Of course, it all depends on the Green Emperor Sect’s attitude."
"Alright, Ye Fan, I’ll take you to the Green Emperor Sect headquarters tomorrow!" Mo Chou told him.
However, Mo Chou lacked confidence, for he did not know if Ye Fan could actually stand up to the Green Emperor Sect. After all, they were a century-old underground power. Even in the secular world, their influence was significant—a truly renowned na.
「The next day」
Tang Wanchou’s health had improved significantly, and she could move around again. When she saw Ye Fan, she asked, "Ye Fan, you were looking for ?"
"Yes, Aunt. I want to know just how powerful the Green Emperor Sect truly is," Ye Fan responded imdiately.
Tang Wanchou explained, "The Green Emperor Sect’s five Elders all possess Innate strength, and the two Sect Leaders have also reached that level. Their eight Commanders each control one of the eight branches, and they are all Postnatal Masters."
Ye Fan drew a sharp breath. Although the Green Emperor Sect lacked any single pinnacle combatant, its overall strength was terrifying, boasting six Innate Experts. If those six were to unite, even a King would have a difficult ti.
He then asked, "Do they have any King-level experts?"
This was crucial. If the other side had a King, then even he would have to be cautious.
Tang Wanchou shook her head. "No, they don’t have a King. If they did, the Green Emperor Sect wouldn’t be so low-profile."
"That makes things easier!" Ye Fan declared.
Tang Wanchou glanced at Ye Fan, trying to guess his strength. With his abilities, he couldn’t possibly be an unknown!
Thus, she asked, "Ye Fan, are you a King?"
"Yes, Aunt, I am indeed a King," Ye Fan confird without hesitation. He saw no reason to hide it at this point.
Tang Wanchou then asked, "Are you the Demon Emperor or the King of Heaven?"
"The Demon Emperor is dead. I am the King of Heaven," Ye Fan stated.
"What? The Demon Emperor is dead? How could soone as powerful as the Demon Emperor die?" Tang Wanchou was astonished. The Demon Emperor was an incredible figure, the number one expert in the Divine Land—not counting the hidden sects, of course. In the underworld, his fa was imnse, rivaling that of the King of Heaven.
So, that ant Ye Fan was the King of Heaven—the foremost among all Kings. The revelation was staggering. There are so few Kings in the world, and he was the one who sat at the very top.
"I killed him," Ye Fan said with an air of authority.
Tang Wanchou was plunged into shock once again. To be able to kill a King, one’s power must transcend the King realm. What a terrifying existence that would be.
After composing herself, she said, "Ye Fan, I don’t care if you’re the King of Heaven or soone even stronger, I just hope you won’t abandon Tang Yurou! She’s a pitiful girl, and we owe her so much. I only hope you won’t abandon her and let her fall into despair."
Ye Fan smiled. "Aunt, please rest assured. I will never abandon the woman I have chosen. Not in the past, not now, and not in the future!"
His words were a great comfort to Tang Wanchou. It was truly rare for a King to love his woman so steadfastly. Besides, she had already learned about Ye Fan’s character from Tang Yurou.
Ye Fan then said, "Aunt, I plan to visit the Green Emperor Sect with Uncle tonight."
"No, tonight isn’t the right ti," Tang Wanchou advised. "They only appear all together during the sect’s gatherings. The next one is in two days! At that ti, all the high-ranking mbers of the Green Emperor Sect will be present!"
Ye Fan replied, "Alright, then we’ll wait two days."
「...」
"Second Master, Tang Wanchou has awakened."
As Mo Jue lay smoking a cigar, he shot up at this news. "What? Wasn’t she so gravely injured that she had no hope of ever waking up?"
His subordinate replied, "That was the case, but that young man healed her."
Mo Jue crushed the cigar in his hand. Although Tang Wanchou herself wasn’t much of a threat, her recovery would significantly boost Mo Chou’s confidence. At this critical juncture, that would inevitably lead to trouble.
"Since I could put her to sleep once, I can do it a second ti," Mo Jue declared. "And as for that ddleso kid, it seems we’ll have to obliterate him."
He had originally intended to act personally, but he couldn’t afford to give Mo Chou any leverage right now. Therefore, he ordered, "Go to the Green Emperor Sect and inform the three patrons."
"Yes!" His subordinate hurried away. Clearly, the Green Emperor Sect would handle this matter now.
Mo Jue said fiercely, "Mo Chou, you are nothing but my defeated foe. You have no right to threaten , because you aren’t worthy!"
「That evening」
Mo Chou took Ye Fan out for a stroll, leading him into a casino. "This is my family’s casino," he said. "While it’s not as large as the casinos in Las Vegas, its scale and reputation will surpass them after our next expansion. If it weren’t for the Mo Family’s infighting, this would have been an unprecedentedly prosperous casino!" He sighed.
Ye Fan nodded, not particularly interested in gambling.
Mo Chou then called over four casino hostesses to give them shoulder massages. "Ye Fan, gamble as much as you like. Tonight, it’s all on !"
He knew Ye Fan didn’t lack money. After all, it would be a joke if the great King of Heaven were short on funds. In truth, however, Ye Fan had been quite broke when he first returned to Hu Xia.
Ye Fan said awkwardly, "Uncle, this doesn’t seem right!"
He glanced at the two hostesses massaging his shoulders. Is my future father-in-law a bit too indecent?
Mo Chou, on the contrary, was thoroughly enjoying himself. "Ye Fan, you just don’t know how to have fun! As a man, all you have to do is put on a good show in front of your wife. What she doesn’t know won’t hurt her. Just relax and go wild!"
Though he feared his wife at ho, Mo Chou was quite the philanderer outside. After all, he was known as the God of Gamblers. His gambling skills were superb, and since he managed these casinos, everyone here treated him with the utmost respect. He was their top boss, after all.
Ye Fan was speechless. If Tang Wanchou saw this, would she skin Mo Chou alive?
Smoking his cigar, Mo Chou began to play, winning every single hand. Ye Fan, however, lost terribly, going through thirty million in the blink of an eye. This was definitely high-stakes gambling.
Just as Mo Chou was about to teach Ye Fan the art of gambling...
"Sir, your coffee!" a gentle voice said.
Ye Fan replied, "Thank you, but I didn’t order any coffee."
"Is that so?"
Sothing about the tone struck Ye Fan as odd, and a jolt of shock went through him. He looked up. The mont he saw her face, the color drained from his.
It was none other than Luo Yazhi.
