Chapter 302: Chapter 301: Sharing a Common Enemy
Returning to Jiangning, Ye Fan went straight to the Heavenly King Hall. After confirming that Yaoyao was safe, he could finally relax.
At that mont, a man nad Tiancan spoke up. "Chief, you tasked
with tracking the Divine Dragon. Their movents are sporadic, sotis hidden, sotis revealed."
"It’s been difficult to verify their exact whereabouts, but they have incited several Ancient Martial Sects, and it seems they intend to move against our Heavenly King Hall!"
"Move against us?" Ye Fan asked doubtfully.
"Exactly," Tiancan replied. "These factions are all stirring, as if they’re preparing to surround us!"
"Hmm?" Ye Fan’s guard went up instantly. "What sects are involved?"
"There’s the Jingang Pavilion, the Qianren Building, the Ice Phoenix Sect, and the Tiangang Sect," Tiancan reported. "The Tiangang Sect is the most powerful among them, and they’ve ford an alliance called the Futian Alliance!"
"The Futian Alliance!"
Ye Fan’s anger flared. Indeed, this is aid squarely at ! I am the King of Heaven, and their na is ’Futian’—’Subdue Heaven’. The aning is obvious.
Tiancan continued, "Chief, the current landscape of the Shenzhou Underground World consists of Huaxia Sword, the Heavenly King Hall, and the Futian Alliance, forming a three-way standoff. Among them, the Futian Alliance has the most mbers. They’re incredibly arrogant and have been making high-profile moves lately, completely disregarding even Huaxia Sword. They are constantly targeting our Heavenly King Hall and Huaxia Sword! The shadow of the Divine Dragon is behind them," he added, dropping another bombshell.
Ye Fan scoffed, "So, the Divine Dragon has shown its hand. They still underestimate , thinking an alliance like this is enough to eliminate !"
"They’re just a bunch of ants! Subdue Heaven? Then I, the King of Heaven, will make them bow before !"
Ye Fan was furious. It seems that as I’ve grown stronger, the Divine Dragon has finally started to feel threatened. They’re really pulling out all the stops just to get back at .
"What a Futian Alliance," he said. "I’d like to see just how they plan to subdue !"
Tiancan then asked, "Chief, what should our response be?"
"No, don’t react for now," Ye Fan replied. "We don’t have a clear justification to strike yet. When you operate in the underworld, having a reason is the most important thing! Otherwise, the entire underworld would descend into chaos. Let them create the opportunity for us. Give
a reason to kill them."
Hearing this, Tiancan imdiately responded, "Understood!"
"Help
contact Zhan Xiong!"
"Yes!" Tiancan imdiately went to make the call.
About a minute later, Zhan Xiong’s signal connected to the Heavenly King Hall, and he appeared on a screen, speaking face-to-face with Ye Fan.
"Brother Ye, what can I do for you?" he asked.
Ye Fan got straight to the point. "Senior Zhan Xiong, are you aware of how arrogant the Futian Alliance has been lately?"
"I am," Zhan Xiong responded imdiately. "They have a mysterious force backing them, which is why they dare to dismiss both Huaxia Sword and your Heavenly King Hall."
"Senior Zhan Xiong," Ye Fan stated, "I plan to strike this Futian Alliance!"
"Excellent! When the ti cos, count Huaxia Sword in!" Zhan Xiong agreed.
Ye Fan was truly surprised. Huaxia Sword had always remained neutral, dedicated solely to protecting the Shenzhou Underground World. For them to join the fray was definitely good news.
Seeing Ye Fan’s hesitation, Zhan Xiong laughed. "Are you surprised, young friend?"
"Yes, very surprised indeed!" Ye Fan admitted.
He hadn’t expected Zhan Xiong to agree so readily, let alone join the campaign. He almost thought he had misheard, but it appeared to be true.
"Huaxia Sword has always stayed out of worldly conflicts, focusing only on protecting the nation. Your quick agreent this ti truly surprised !" Ye Fan voiced his thoughts.
"Indeed, Huaxia Sword stays out of worldly disputes," Zhan Xiong explained. "As long as internal conflicts don’t harm innocent people, we say nothing.
"But don’t forget, having a good temper doesn’t an we have no temper at all! The Divine Dragon may be powerful, but Huaxia Sword is an official organization tasked with guardianship. To be suppressed by a few rogue factions is an insult we cannot bear."
"Senior, I understand," Ye Fan said.
That’s right. A good temper doesn’t an you have to be a doormat. It seems Huaxia Sword has finally unleashed its fiery temper.
「Three days later」
Just as expected, the Futian Alliance grew even more brazen. They attacked and slaughtered the people at a comrcial outpost jointly operated by Huaxia Sword and the Heavenly King Hall. This incident drew the full attention of both organizations. Without a doubt, their enemies had successfully lit the flas of hatred.
Zhan Xiong personally led his people to Jiangning. As soon as they arrived at the Heavenly King Hall headquarters, Ye Fan was shocked. Zhan Xiong had brought two others with him.
Zhan Xiong himself was at the Half-step Emperor Level, but the other two were both at the King Level. This gave Ye Fan a deeper appreciation of Huaxia Sword’s power. He had previously thought Zhan Xiong was the only master in Huaxia Sword, but now they had deployed three top-tier experts at once.
The two n had calm, steady dispositions and stood silently beside Zhan Xiong, exuding a military aura.
Zhan Xiong made the introductions. "Young friend, allow
to introduce them. The one on the left is Leng Feng, and on the right is Leng Jian. They are elite officers from the army’s most elite units, and they also serve as personal bodyguards for high-ranking governnt officials."
Ye Fan smiled. "A pleasure to et you."
Neither of them spoke. It wasn’t arrogance but the cultivated discipline of a soldier; silence and reserve were their hallmarks. But when they finally exploded into action, they would be a terrifying force to behold.
Zhan Xiong chuckled. "Don’t be offended, young friend. That’s just their way."
"That’s fine," Ye Fan replied with a smile. "I was a soldier once myself."
He hadn’t realized that even the bodyguards of top officials were part of Huaxia Sword. Their true strength was formidable; clearly, they were masters of hiding their strength.
Zhan Xiong’s expression hardened. "I never thought the Futian Alliance would dare to be so audacious, completely disregarding us. This ti, we must teach them a lesson they’ll never forget!"
Ye Fan agreed, "They are truly detestable. It’s ti we showed them that so people cannot be provoked."
Zhan Xiong then asked, "How many experts are you planning to deploy this ti, young friend?"
Ye Fan declared, "Not many. The upper echelon of the Futian Alliance is a matter for my Heavenly King Hall to handle!"
To an outsider, his words might sound like the height of arrogance and bravado, but his own people knew it was simple confidence.
Leng Feng imdiately spoke up. "King of Heaven, we acknowledge your strength, but that’s a bold claim. The top leaders of the Futian Alliance are all at the King Level!
"In the Heavenly King Hall, you are the only one with such formidable combat power. Do you really think the Heavenly King Hall can take on the entire leadership of the Futian Alliance alone?"
Ye Fan retorted, "Who says I’m the only strong one in the Heavenly King Hall?"
Leng Feng and Leng Jian had investigated the Heavenly King Hall. They had concluded that its rise and its ability to gain a foothold in the Divine Land were entirely due to Ye Fan’s efforts. Aside from Ye Fan, the Heavenly King Hall had no other King-Level experts.
But now Ye Fan was saying otherwise. Could it be that the Heavenly King Hall had other hidden masters?
"Brothers, co out!"
At Ye Fan’s loud call, Black Fog and Nangong walked into the room.
