Chapter 430: Chapter 429: Poised to Strike
At that mont, Shangguan Qiuyue approached, her eyes filled with concern as she gazed at Ye Fan.
"I’m fine," Ye Fan said.
Then, Huyan Yuncheng began to make his statent. He declared, "In this tournant, the Shangguan family has erged victorious! Not only did they defeat their enemies, but they also shattered Emperor Qin’s Spiritual Artifact, the Heavenly Inquiry Sword! The Shangguan family becoming the Alliance Hierarch of the Hidden Sect Alliance is a done deal. Do any of you have any objections?"
Everyone desperately wanted to pin Huyan Yuncheng to the ground and beat him senseless to show him what real suffering was. What nonsense! Wasn’t he asking the obvious? This was too humiliating! It left them with no way out!
The Family Heads of the nurous hidden sects quickly voiced their assent, raising no objections.
What a joke! If the strongest expert, ard with the supre Spiritual Artifact, the Heavenly Inquiry Sword, had fallen, what did that make them? All of them together wouldn’t be enough to withstand a single one of the victor’s moves. To defy him now would be nothing short of suicide!
Ye Fan nodded. "Good. But rest assured, the Shangguan family won’t force you to do anything."
"It is only right that you compel us!" a group of the hidden sect Clan Leaders hastily replied.
Ye Fan and Shangguan Qiuyue departed, leaving Huyan Yuncheng to take care of everything and arrange all the details perfectly.
「That evening」
While Ye Fan was recovering from his injuries, Shangguan Qiuyue said, "Ye Fan, after you shattered the Heavenly Inquiry Sword today, you’ve beco like a god in their eyes! I’m sure they’ll fall in line now."
Ye Fan responded, "It was a close call, though. I almost lost. The Heavenly Inquiry Sword is broken; I need to find a way to repair it. Qiuyue, do you like using swords?"
If Shangguan Qiuyue enjoyed using swords, he would give the Heavenly Inquiry Sword to her.
But Shangguan Qiuyue shook her head. "Ye Fan, I don’t like using swords."
Shangguan Qiuyue was actually speechless. Although she was a Martial Cultivator, she didn’t favor swords. After all, she wasn’t a tomboy; she was a female hegemon.
Ye Fan felt at a loss. None of his won seed to appreciate swords, and it was the sa among the Martial Artists within his own forces. Black Fog preferred daggers. As for Nangong, he favored his fists. He was having a hard ti getting rid of the Heavenly Inquiry Sword, and it pained him. Giving such a fine blade to those who didn’t use swords would be a complete waste.
At that mont, Shangguan Qiuyue asked Ye Fan, "When are we going back?"
Ye Fan replied, "Soon. After I killed Jue Ying, the Divine Dragon surely cannot sit still. We must head back tomorrow! Then, I will unite all our allies and engage the Divine Dragon in a battle to the death!" he stated resolutely.
His sole purpose in life had once been revenge. Now that the opportunity had finally arisen, how could he not be thrilled? He had dreamt of annihilating the Divine Dragon. Now, that goal seed within reach, just a touch away.
"Ye Fan, no matter what, I support you," Shangguan Qiuyue said.
"Great!" Ye Fan grinned slyly. "Since you support , does that an you’ll take so concrete action?"
"Concrete action?" she asked, unclear on what he ant. With Ye Fan’s strength and influence, the Shangguan family had little to offer that would catch his eye.
Suddenly, Ye Fan pulled her into his arms. "This kind of support, of course," he said.
"You’re impossible!" Shangguan Qiuyue protested, tapping him lightly.
However, Ye Fan then pounced, disregarding her resistance and forcefully having his way with her. He felt utterly triumphant. Days spent with a beauty by his side were far better than those filled with fighting and killing. As for Shangguan Qiuyue, she was completely exhausted.
「The next day」
Ye Fan returned to Jiangning and arrived at the headquarters of the Heavenly King Hall. By this ti, all the key personnel had gathered. There were Nangong, Shadow, Tiancan, Di Que, and Broken Wave. They were all top talents of the Heavenly King Hall.
"We’ve waited a long ti," Ye Fan announced. "Our chance for revenge has finally co. This ti, our target is the Divine Dragon, an enemy so powerful he believes himself invincible. Though fighting him will put us under great pressure, pressure breeds motivation! We must contact allies from all sides to take down the Divine Dragon in one fell swoop!"
"Yes!" the group exclaid, their spirits soaring.
When it ca to killing, Nangong was the most excited. For him, days without bloodshed were days of sorrow; only through slaughter could he grow stronger.
Ye Fan continued, "I have already decided on the allies we will contact. The Witch Clan, Fla Valley, the Yan Clan, the Dark Night Demon Queen, and the Underground Boxing Ring. Of course, there is also my old division, King Hall, and our ally, Huaxia Sword Coming!"
Ye Fan had confird these factions. It was the first ti since he had made a na for himself that he had mobilized so many forces. Yet even with so many, he still felt no sense of advantage. Only by being part of that organization could one understand just how terrifying it truly was.
"Isn’t it an overreaction to rally so many people?" Nangong asked, puzzled.
The other high-ranking mbers felt the sa; it seed like far too many forces.
Ye Fan shook his head. "No. Even with all these allies, I still see little hope of victory. The Divine Dragon’s true foundation is beyond anything we can imagine. You all go and make contact with these forces. I need their elites!"
"Yes!" they nodded.
Then Ye Fan said to Tiancan, "Go, buy
a ton of snacks."
"Chief, what do you need snacks for?" Tiancan asked, baffled.
"Just go if I tell you to. Why ask so many questions?" Ye Fan rebuked him sharply.
Tiancan felt incredibly wronged. He thought the Chief must have lost his mind. He was a grown man, yet he wanted sothing like this! However, Tiancan had no choice but to obey, since the command ca from the Chief himself.
Ye Fan wandered around the Heavenly King Hall headquarters for a while. He saw Nangong staring up at the bright moon, a worried expression on his face. Nangong then grabbed a bamboo stick and began to swing it, his movents imbued with vigor and verve.
Ye Fan walked over.
"Chief!" Nangong said respectfully.
"Sothing on your mind?" Ye Fan asked.
"Yes. The world is no longer what it once was," Nangong sighed.
Ye Fan said, "Since you’ve already broken through to the Supre realm, I think the day for your revenge is not far off."
Nangong’s progress was impressive. When they first t, he was only at the Emperor Level, but through the Heavenly King Hall’s training and his own efforts, he had beco a Supre. This level of strength was hard-earned; he could be considered a genius in the Martial Arts World.
"Thank you for your guidance, Chief!" he said.
"There’s no need for such courtesy between us," Ye Fan replied. "And my promise to you still stands. Once we’ve dealt with the Divine Dragon, I think we can pay a visit to the Feather Immortal Sect."
Nangong was filled with gratitude. "Thank you, Chief! My hatred for the Feather Immortal Sect is imnse. It’s either their death or mine!"
"I understand perfectly," Ye Fan said. "Rest assured, it won’t be your death. You have the entire Heavenly King Hall behind you. I’ve been watching your moves; your swordsmanship is quite good!"
Nangong’s brute strength was terrifying, but his swordsmanship was even more masterful. Though it couldn’t compare to Ye Fan’s, he could still be considered a profound swordsman.
