“The second toast is to my pillar of Yanxia, the national hero, the Hao Tian Patriarch, Tang Hao!”
Ye Qingtian raised his gla*s again.
This toast was to Patriarch Tang Hao, whose soul had already returned to the nine heavens.
After the two cups of wine had been drunk, Ye Qingtian raised his gla*s one last time.
“This third cup, to my Yanxia Martial Dao, all the martial artists who died in this cataclysm!”
“Without the sacrifices of our martyrs, how could we have peace today?”
With red eyebrows, Ye Qingtian, as the leader of the Yanxia Martial Dao, led the martial artists from all the provinces of the country to raise their gla*ses and drink three cups of turbid wine in a row.
Li Er, Lu Ziming and the others also toasted the martyrs from the bottom of their hearts.
Although, in life, they may not have known each other, or they may have had grudges.
But at this moment, in the face of national justice, all grudges and feuds were undoubtedly put aside.
At this moment, they have only one identity in common, that is, the people of Yanxia.
“The dead are gone, the living are like this.”
“Those who survived, live better.”
“Contribute your strength to the growth of our Yanxia martial arts.”
“However, before I say any more about this, I want to tell you all a piece of good news.”
“That is, the return of one of the six pillar states of my Yan Xia, Empress Wind, Mu Zihua, to Yan Mountain.”
“This is definitely a great event for my Yanxia Martial Dao to celebrate.”
“This banquet today is set up for Empress Wind.”
“To celebrate the return of Empress Wind!”
“Come, everyone, follow me and drink another gla*s of wine to welcome the Queen of Wind home.”
Ye Qingtian had changed the heaviness of his previous mourning for Tang Hao and the others, and a glow of joy had appeared on his stalwart face.
The return of an old friend was always a joy to behold.
The crowd on the stage also gave a toast to Empress Wind.
The Sword Saint even asked the Queen of Wind to go out and say a few words.
But Empress Wind was clearly not interested.
“Let’s not waste time and announce the business.”
The cold words of the Wind Queen caused the smiles on the faces of the War God, Sword Saint and the others to stiffen.
However, since the Empress of Wind was already waiting in a hurry, Ye Qingtian didn’t say anything more.
He turned around, his cloudy gaze looking towards the crowd below.
“Gentlemen, today’s banquet, apart from celebrating the return of Empress Wind, there is another important matter that I would like to announce to you all.”
“The Chu Sect has been destroyed, and the world has returned to peace.”
“At the same time, a new pattern of martial arts is being generated.”
“As the saying goes, the wave after the Yangtze River pushes the wave before it.”
“Through this catastrophe, I, along with the Sword Saint, the Fist King and others, have realised that we have, after all, grown old.”
“It’s also time to step back.”
“This world, after all, belongs to those who come after us.”
“Therefore, after I conferred with the Fist Emperor, Sword Saint, Wind Queen and others, we unanimously decided to elect a new person to be the head of the Martial God Hall and become the new leader of my Yanxia Martial Dao, the new leader!”
Ye Qingtian’s majestic words resounded in all directions.
When the crowd heard the words, they were a little surprised, but it made sense.
“It looks like the God of War is going to give way.”
“Indeed, in the future, this Yanxia will be serving the Peerless Patriarch as the Lord?”
On the stage, many people’s cars thought like this.
Li Er and Chen Ao were even more joyful and proud in their hearts.
Mr. Chu had worked so hard for so many years and experienced so many desperate situations of life and death, and now, he had been able to see the light of day.
As a supreme powerhouse who had stepped down from the Chu Sect, Ye Fan’s name had long resounded throughout the world.
Even, Li Er and the others felt that Ye Fan was the number one person in the world today.
It was only logical that he would now become the leader of the martial arts in Yanxia.
“Hahahaha, Chen Ao, it looks like in the future, our Jiangdong will become the centre of Yanxia’s martial dao.”
Li Er said proudly.
Jiangdong was Ye Fan’s mulberry hometown.
In the future, Ye Fan would certainly live in Jiangdong for a long time as well.
The place where the martial arts leader is located is naturally the centre of the country’s martial arts.
Li Er, Chen Ao and other Jiangdong people seemed to have seen the future prosperity of Jiangdong.
However, just as everyone, was waiting for Ye Qingtian to say Chu Tianfan’s name.
Suddenly, a slim figure, walked out from within the Martial God Hall.
Ye Qingtian pointed at him, “I announce that the next Martial God Hall Master will be Empress Wind’s senior disciple, Chen Kyushu!”
“May all my fellow Martial Daoists follow the right and left of Hall Master Chen in the future, and work together for a better tomorrow for our Yanxia Martial Dao.”
As soon as Ye Qingtian’s words left his mouth, Chen Kyushu stepped straight forward.
He stood at the highest point of Yan Mountain, looking down at the martial practitioners of Yan Xia below.
On Yan Mountain, the wind was bitterly cold.
It lifted his clothes and hunted.
His eyes are full of pride as he stands with his arms folded.
Above his handsome face, there is a look of a man who is standing on top of the world.
However, the crowd on the stage was unfamiliar with the man in front of them.
Li Er and Lu Ziming were even more puzzled and shocked.
“What?”
“Chen Kyushu?”
“What kind of a thing is he?”
“With me, Mr. Chu, how can anyone else have a turn to lead the martial dao of Yanxia?”
….
“Disobedient!”
“I, Jiangdong Martial Way, do not submit!”
….
“I, the Jiangbei Martial Way, do not submit either!”
“Looking at Yanxia, the only one qualified to take over as God of War is the peerless seal Chu Tianfan!”
……
After a short silence, there was an uproar from the stage.
The overwhelming voices of doubt nearly drowned out Chen Kyushu.
Chen Kyushu did not say anything, only the corners of his mouth lightly opened.
And then, he turned around, and with a thick palm, he slapped down fiercely at the bronze statue of Chu Tianfan behind him!
Boom!
Amidst the deafening sound, that hundred-metre bronze statue shattered in an instant.
It turned into annihilated powder and was scattered in all directions.
“This…”
“You…”
The whole room was appalled, even Ye Qingtian and the Fist Emperor and the others were wide-eyed with shock.
How could they not have expected that this Chen Kyushu, as soon as he came up, would push down Chu Tianfan’s bronze statue?
However, ignoring the tremors of the crowd.
Chen Kyushu stepped on the remains of the bronze statue of Chu Tianfan’s corpse and ascended to the sky!
“In the future, the Yanxia Martial Dao will be honoured by me.”
“Anyone who does not submit will be so bronze statue!”
A majestic voice swept across the four directions.
The terrifying might caused many people to actually tremble from the bottom of their hearts.
However, Li Er still gritted his teeth and stood out!
“b*****d!”
“Dare to destroy Mr. Chu’s bronze statue?”
“You are simply reckless!”
“Mr. Chu has been credited with saving the world, who are you to disrespect him?”
“How dare you disrespect Mr. Chu?” “And Yanxia respects you, how dare you?”
Li Er was furious.
He had always thought that after the Chu Sect’s cataclysm, Ye Fan would uncontestedly sit in the chair of the number one person in Yanxia.
But who would have thought that a Chen Jiuzhou would appear halfway through this.
Moreover, he had also shown such disrespect to the country’s meritorious minister, coming up and destroying Ye Fan’s bronze statue.
“Li Er, what are you shouting blindly for?”
“You old p*ssies, you’re not even a martial artist, do you have the right to speak here?”
“What’s more, Chu Tianfan is not originally from the Martial God Hall, and he didn’t deal with the Chu Sect to save the people.”
“Moreover, he has brutally killed so many of his compatriots.”
“Such people are deeply sinful.”
“He is not qualified to be at the top of Yanshan Mountain and be worshipped!”
At this time, a one-eyed man, stepped forward.
With a stern voice, he rushed at Li Er and verbally attacked Ye Fan.
After saying this, this one-eyed man took the lead and worshipped Chen Kyushu, showing his loyalty, “I, Zhao Zhenlu, believe in the decision of the God of War. May I honour Mr. Chen, as the Lord of Kyushu!”
The one-eyed man worshipped respectfully.
Chen Kyushu’s gaze glanced over, “Your name is Zhao Zhenlu, right? In the future, you will follow me and work for me.”
After saying this, Chen Kyushu looked at Li Er, “The Mr. Chu you speak of must be Chu Tianfan.”
“I have not met him, but it seems that, I have heard that this person has a very high prestige in Yanxia.”
“However, it’s all in the past.”
“Because, I, Chen Kyushu, am here.”
“The weak, in the end, will make way for the strong.”
“After today, it will be an era that belongs to me, Chen Kyushu.”
“In the future, there will be only one voice in Yanxia, and that will be my voice, Chen Kyushu’s.”
“Those who do not respect it, die!”
