Jaw-Dropping Son-in-Law

Chapter 2168

Everyone in Dragon God Hall knelt and greeted Ye Fan respectfully when they saw him.

Allen and the others, however, had deep frowns on their faces. They looked as though they had just encountered their biggest threat ever.

Of course, they knew they would encounter resistance from Dragon God Hall before they came over.

What they didn't expect was the powerful aura that Ye Fan exuded.

According to the information they had on hand, Ye Fan's battle with Chu Yuan had left him severely wounded.

Regardless, they refused to back out easily since they had already come this far. Content from NôvelDr(a)ma.Org.

After taking a moment to regain his composure, Allen stepped forward and said with a smile, “So, you're Ye Fan, huh? I hear you're the Unrivalled and the Hall Master of Dragon God Hall. It sure is impressive for a young man like you to have such great achievements. Who would've thought a hero like you would emerge in the martial arts world during my few years of solitary training? While I am glad to see how far you have come, one must be very careful when at the pinnacle of success. I have more experience than you do, so I would like to offer you a piece of advice. You're young and inexperienced, and Dragon God Hall is a relatively new organization. As such, you need to focus on building rapport with others. You can't always have it your way, or you'll end up making lots of enemies. I believe your experience with the Chu Sect is a perfect example and has taught you a valuable lesson.”

As it was Allen's first time meeting Ye Fan in person, he lectured the latter like a senior would a junior after noticing how young the latter looked.

Ye Fan eyed Allen from head to toe and asked coldly, “Who do you think you are? What gives you the right to lecture me?”

“You...” Allen found himself at a loss for words.

He was livid with rage and clenched his fists tightly, but there was nothing he could say in retaliation.

“I will only say this one more time. You have ten seconds to get out of Mount Chumen, or we can settle our scores right here and now.”

Ye Fan's tone was as cold as ice, and he had no intention of showing Allen any mercy whatsoever.

Naturally, Allen didn't take too kindly to being humiliated.

I'm a highly respected senior in the entire martial arts world, not to mention in Western Epea! How dare Ye Fan disrespect me like this?

Displeased with Ye Fan's attitude, Allen shouted angrily, “Is arrogance the norm for youngsters these days? Why are you getting all cocky just because you managed to achieve some success in life? Even the head of the Chu Sect wouldn't dare show me such disrespect!”

“The fact that you guys are still alive right now is the greatest form of mercy from me,” Ye Fan replied with a sneer.

“You...”

Right when the tension had reached its peak, a few people made their way through the crowd and stepped forward.

Had War God been present at the scene, he would've recognized those people as the leading figures in the martial arts world.

One of them was Aaron, the king of Remdik.

The second one was Carlo, the prince of Erihal.

The third one was Jared, the martial arts leader of Ferropene.

All three of them had attended the wedding organized by the Chu Sect, so they had witnessed Ye Fan's capabilities when he first showed up there.

We even witnessed Ye Fan being forced to commit suicide at the border of the country. Who would've thought this young man, who had reached the end of the rope, would make a comeback in a few years and singlehandedly destroy the Chu Sect?

They even thought the news of Chu Yuan's death was false at first.

It wasn't until they received confirmation from various other channels that they accepted the shocking fact.

Carlo stepped forward and attempted to defuse the situation by saying, “Hahaha! There's no need to get so worked up, Hall Master Ye! We used to go against the Chu Sect as well, so we're technically on the same side here. Comrades shouldn't be fighting over such trivial matters! This is about the resources, right? How about this, Treasure Pavilion will offer up twenty percent of its treasures to Dragon God Hall, and we'll let the International Martial Arts League decide on the rest. What do you guys think?”

“No way, Prince Carlo! There are hundreds of countries in the International Martial Arts League! To give Dragon God Hall twenty percent is way too much!” Allen protested in dissatisfaction.

The resources were extremely limited, so Dragon God Hall receiving more of it would mean fewer resources for everyone else.

“Allen, I think you should stop arguing about this,” said Aaron.

“That's right. We should just go with Prince Carlo's suggestion. Dragon God Hall is new to the scene, so they are lacking in resources. As fellow members of the martial arts world, we should show our generosity by letting them have more resources. Besides, it is only natural for us seniors to help our juniors out!” Jared chimed in as well.

Although still dissatisfied with the arrangement, Allen had no choice but to go along with it.

Carlo then turned toward Ye Fan and continued with a smile, “Hall Master Ye, are you satisfied with getting twenty percent of the Chu Sect's resources? If yes, please make way so the staff from the International Martial Arts League can process the remaining eighty percent.”

Ye Fan burst out laughing on the spot. “Hahahahaha! You sly old foxes sure have it all mapped out, huh? Did you guys really think you could just walk away with eighty percent of the Chu Sect's resources? Do you take Dragon God Hall for a fool? Or do you think we're pushovers?”

Carlo and the others frowned when he heard that.

“What do you mean by that, Hall Master Ye? Do you think twenty percent is too little for you? Please keep in mind that the remaining eighty percent is to be divided between the hundreds of countries in the International Martial Arts League. You, on the other hand, will have twenty percent all to yourself. Is that not enough for you?”

“Hall Master Ye, don't you think you're being a little greedy here?” Aaron added.

They felt Dragon God Hall was being ungrateful and insolent.

Ye Fan's tone was dripping with mockery and sarcasm as he snapped back at them, “Ha! What a joke! You guys are clearly the greedy ones here! Where were you guys when the Chu Sect attacked Jiangdong, huh? I didn't see you guys anywhere when Dragon God Hall had to fend off the Chu Sect!

Now that Chu Yuan is dead and the Chu Sect is no more, you guys think you can just pop out and ask for its resources? I'm surprised you guys have the audacity to call yourself seniors when you're nothing but shameless and greedy cowards!”

Carlo and company went livid with rage when they heard that. Allen, too, was on the verge of exploding with anger.

“You insolent fool! How dare you insult your seniors in the martial arts world? Even Chu Yuan never dared take that tone with us! Fine, if you insist on doing this the hard way, then so be it!” Allen yelled as he drew his sword and activated his aura.

“Don't do anything rash now, Allen,” Carlo said while blocking Allen's path.

He then shifted his gaze toward Ye Fan and continued solemnly, “Ye Fan, I do not agree with what you just said. It's true that Dragon God Hall has contributed a lot, but that does not mean the martial arts world of Western Epea hasn't done the same, if not more. Eleven of my thirteen disciples have died valiantly in the battle against Chu Sect, and Allen lost almost every single member of his clan. Smealand almost lost all thirty-six of its martial arts worlds to the Chu Sect! It took a combined effort from all the martial arts worlds to fully eliminate the Chu Sect. Dragon God Hall would not have emerged victorious without the support of everyone else involved. You should learn to be more grateful, Hall Master Ye. It was luck that allowed you to deliver the final blow to the Chu Sect. Therefore, you cannot take credit for the total annihilation of the Chu Sect. We and the rest of the martial arts worlds will not allow it!”
