"What?"


    Upon hearing the assistant''s words, Elder Zhang''s heart skipped a beat, and his complexion changed instantly!


    There was no need for a reminder—what did this mean?


    Just a few days ago, Chu Feng, Elder Zhang''s capable assistant, had already died in Cloud City. If something happened to Zhang Feng, Elder Zhang''s weak heart might not be able to take it.


    The most crucial point was that Tang Zheng''s grandson had already perished in Flower Capital, and his death was even recorded on video and spread online. Due to the matter of face, the Royal Family had directly suspended Tang Zheng from his duties.


    Even with the backing of powerful figures, attempts at negotiation had failed, and it seemed they might not be able to protect themselves any longer.


    "Elder Zhang, the young master... the young master is already... dead..." The assistant struggled to utter those two words, his expression stiffening as he watched the video footage.


    Zhang Feng was dead!


    And it was Chen Tang who had taken action against him, what''s more eerie was that Ye Fan was also at the scene.


    The Nether Young Master actually called Ye Fan his sworn father?


    Chen Tang killed Zhang Feng to vent anger and seek revenge for his sworn father!


    Was this some kind of joke?


    Almost everyone knew that Zhang Feng had become a disciple to the Nether Holy Master, and he should have been the closest of brothers to Chen Tang. The Nether, Tang Zheng, Elder Zhang, and others in this coalition, were as close as family, all aiming to deal with the Ye Family and doom them to death.


    At the critical moment, Chen Tang actually attacked Zhang Feng and killed Elder Zhang''s grandson?


    "What did you say? Say it again!" Elder Zhang''s pupils dilated wildly; he seemed nearly insane as he snatched the tablet from the assistant and replayed the video.


    "Heh heh... I''m an idiot, I''m so stupid... Young Master Chen, why did you stab me with a knife... Why is there blood coming from my chest..." Zhang Feng''s simple and honest appearance, upon seeing the blood from his own chest, actually reached to dab at it and tasted it with his tongue, "Ugh! Why is it salty? Tastes bad... I feel dizzy..."


    Splurt! Splurt!


    Seeing Chen Tang repeatedly stabbing Zhang Feng''s chest with a dagger in the video, Elder Zhang''s heart trembled along with it.


    "Son of a bitch, what the hell... I x... Dammit, who can tell me what''s going on here? Wasn''t Chen Tang the one who listened to Zhang Feng the most? Before they left, the Nether Holy Master even reminded him to follow Zhang Feng''s lead. How could Chen Tang kill my grandson..."


    "Aaahhh!"


    Overcome with rage, Elder Zhang directly crushed the tablet in his hands, letting out a hysterical roar.


    He just couldn''t understand. Chen Tang and the Nether were surely going with Zhang Feng to deal with Ye Fan, so why did they suddenly turn their weapons on Zhang Feng?


    Elder Zhang had actually guessed correctly and had carefully picked up on the signal from Ye Fan.


    Ye Fan did it intentionally, the video sent to Elder Zhang was meant to agitate him.


    Only by driving Elder Zhang completely mad, forcing him into the open, could things get muddier!


    The muddier the water, the more likely that the big shots behind Elder Zhang and Elder Tang Zheng would be forced to jump out. Only then could Ye Fan find the real culprits behind everything.


    As things had developed to this point, with Elder Zhang and Elder Tang Zheng emerging into the spotlight, it had become impossible for their backers to escape, withdraw, and retire from it all.


    At the Qin Family, Ye Fan watched Chen Tang neatly clean up the Qin Family, nodding in satisfaction, "Well done! Good boy... I will be leaving Flower Capital for a while..."


    Ye Fan had just learned from Qin Zhan''s mouth that Dongying had teamed up with the Deputy Commander of the Xuanwu Battle Zone to plot against Great Xia''s Number One Valkyrie, Yu Linglong.


    She is his own wife, Ye Fan couldn''t possibly ignore it!


    Moreover, since the Deputy Commander of Xuanwu had participated in the assassination attempt on Ye Lingjun, the Second Young Master of the Ye Family, Ye Fan was even less likely to let him off!


    "Alright! You go without worries, adoptive father, I will take care of Flower Capital... Anything you care for, I will protect with all my heart, and anyone who wishes you harm, I will eliminate..."


    Ye Fan had thought that Chen Tang was just talking casually, but he didn''t realize that Chen Tang''s role would soon become evident!


    ...


    Chen Tang killed Zhang Feng, and by the way, wiped out the Qin Family!


    Another video prepared by Ye Fan rapidly went viral on the short video platform.


    Such a shocking, violent scene completely shattered everyone''s perceptions!


    Could Martial Arts experts really be this crazy?


    Laymen watch the show!


    But perceptive people immediately noticed something was amiss!


    "Isn''t that the idiot from the Ye Family? And to think the Nether Young Master Chen Tang acknowledges him as an adoptive father? Impressive, really impressive!"


    "How does that fool have such good fortune? Becoming Chen Tang''s adoptive father, those who want to deal with the Ye Family really need to weigh their options now!"


    "I wonder if this is Chen Tang''s own decision, or the Nether Holy Master''s will?"


    "Why do I feel like the situation is tilting in favor of the Ye Family?"
