Standing beside him, Pang Hai and Yu Qiang could no longer contain themselves!


    "Young Master Ye..."


    Pang Hai had just received a message from Ye Fan, telling him not to act rashly, but in the blink of an eye, Ye Fan had fallen? Under his very watch?


    To have died right under his nose?


    The Tianji Pavilion had waited for twenty years, and now that they had finally gotten hold of such a prodigious Pavilion Master, if he were to just die like this, wouldn''t those old folks in the Three Pavilions of Tianji tear him apart?


    "Draw your swords!" Seeing the situation unfold before him, Yu Qiang''s entire body surged with energy, and he bellowed at his subordinates, "We have failed in our duties, we must avenge Young Master Ye!"


    On the other side, Wang Fugui exploded with rage!


    "Big brother... Fuck, you''re gone just like that? No way, you can''t be messing with me..." Wang Fugui witnessed Ye Fan suddenly disappear and immediately leaped up, channeling the power of the Grandmaster Realm as he prepared to take action.


    Standing by the side, Guo Li, although finding the situation strange, had to face the incontrovertible fact of Ye Fan vanishing before everyone''s eyes; even he was at a loss!


    The Ren Family, along with the Four Great Maids from the Ye Family and some hidden bodyguards, were all going insane, as everyone''s Martial Arts Qi burst forth, ready to strike at any moment!


    Throughout the hall, the tumultuous Qi force caused tables, chairs, and lightbulbs to shake erratically.


    Zhuang Chao, who was in the center of the hall, was stunned for several seconds upon seeing Ye Fan being torn to shreds before he finally snapped out of it.No?v(el)B\\jnn


    "Haha! Haha! Fantastic, I killed Ye Fan... Everyone, don''t you dare move, or you''ll end up just like Ye Fan..."


    Howl!


    Zhuang Chao let out a sharp command, and the Poison Gu in the hall swiftly swarmed, forming a thick wall of Poison Gu around Zhuang Chao and Zhou Ming in the blink of an eye, spewing out a potent poison mist. The hall seemed to be enveloped in a green fog.


    Some guests with weaker abilities were already staggering and collapsing.


    Just as Pang Hai and Yu Qiang, two Martial Emperor powerhouses, were about to make a move, they suddenly felt a powerful and ancient aura spreading from Zhuang Chao''s direction, enveloping them. They found that their powerful Martial Arts Qi was being suppressed!


    The combat power they had displayed dropped instantly from the Martial Emperor Level down to the Grandmaster Realm!


    Yu Qiang was a Martial Emperor powerhouse. Before this, Ye Fan''s allies had a clear view of everything, yet now, he couldn''t even muster the strength of the Grandmaster Realm.


    This was terrifying!


    "Ha-ha! You see? Now all of your strengths have been restricted. Not to brag, but all of you combined are no match for me and Young Master Zhou!" Zhuang Chao laughed even more smugly as he ordered his subordinates, "Send out the video we just filmed and push it to the trending searches! Laotzu has killed Ye Fan, and it must be publicized, ha-ha!"


    Zhuang Chao swept his gaze over the crowd, "I''ll give you one minute to think it over! Surrender... Otherwise, I''ll make sure all of you join Ye Fan in the afterlife!"


    ...


    "What? Ye Fan is dead?"


    At the Capital, within the royal family''s Imperial Bedchamber!


    The mother of Ji Yuchen, upon hearing the report from her subordinates outside the window, grabbed the tablet to see for herself. To her shock, she saw Ye Fan being torn to pieces by the Poison Gu, and she was instantly overwhelmed!


    She and Ji Yuchen had only just finalized their plans to support the rise of the Ye Family, to establish the Grand Tutor Mansion, and to counterbalance Prince Jin!


    Ye Fan had perished so soon; could Old Master Ye even withstand such a blow?


    "What''s the matter?" Ji Yuchen also got up groggily, wearing only a nightgown that barely concealed her curvaceous figure, "Ye Fan is dead? What kind of joke is this? With Ye Fan''s monstrous talent, after so many assassination attempts they planned against him, none were successful. Today at the Nether Group event, there were two Martial Emperor powerhouses present; how could Ye Fan have died so easily?"


    "This guy," she continued, assessing her investigation, "he''s got too many tricks up his sleeve! Disperse, we proceed with the plan as usual!"


    Ji Yuchen handed the tablet back to her subordinate with a faint smile on her lips, a profound look flashing in her eyes.


    This Ye Fan is becoming more and more interesting.


    In the video, Ye Fan was clearly dead, but Ji Yuchen had an intuition that Ye Fan must have used some method to deceive everyone!


    Perhaps, she thought, taking another approach to win over Ye Fan to truly use him for her own benefit was a very wise choice!


    However, being the Emperor, she obviously couldn''t leave the Capital.


    "Summon someone, pass my command! Have Empress Ji Ningxuan go to Flower Capital tomorrow on my behalf to reward Ye Fan!" Ji Yuchen''s lips curled into a mischievous smile, wondering what sparks might fly between her designated empress and Ye Fan.
