Quiet, long silence.
Wu Shanju’s words were only like a bone-chilling wind sweeping through.
The originally lively and noisy hotel hall was undoubtedly silent in an instant!
The smiles on everyone’s faces suddenly froze.
There were even some people whose expressions quickly turned ugly, and the hands that were holding their wine glasses were lowered.
In a flash, the hotel, which had just been abuzz with excitement, suddenly fell silent.
No one dared to answer Wu Shanju’s words.
Only a few of Wu Shanju’s cronies lowered their voices and advised, “Mr. Wu, be careful what you say…”
An elderly crony on the side trembled and said.
That was Chu Tianfan!
Ever since that year, the Taishan Martial Battle, Ye Fan had become famous in one battle.
The name Chu Tian Fan has been like Mount Tai, pressing down on the heads of the entire Jiangdong people!
For so many years, all those who had been enemies of Ye Fan had died.
From Zhao Wuji, the richest man in Jiangdong, to the Yanjing gentry, they all bowed down and became subservient.
Even the Lu family in Jiangbei later, and then the Chu clan, the strongest power in the world.
All of these incidents eventually made Chu Tianfan an existence to be feared by the entire Jiangdong nobility!
It could be said that in Jiangdong, Ye Fan was the sky of everyone!
Now that Wu Shanju had insulted Ye Fan in public, one could imagine how frightened the people present would be.
“Hahahaha…”
In the face of dissuasion, Wu Shanju was laughing uncontrollably.
“Look at that outburst of yours?”
“I just said a few bad words about Chu Tianfan, and you guys are scared like this.”
“If I were to say that I would personally destroy the Mu Fan Group, sweep away Chu Tianfan’s foundation, and finally kill him with my own hands, would you all be scared out of your wits?”
Wu Shanju laughed, his reckless gaze sweeping over the crowd.
As expected, as soon as Wu Shanju’s words fell, the crowd in the hall sat up completely.
“Mr. Wu, you… You’re really good at jokes, hahaha…” Someone laughed and rounded up for Wu Shanju.
Of course, there were also people who advised Wu Shanju, “Mr. Wu, be careful of what comes out of your mouth.”
……
“That’s right Mr. Wu, can you not scare us?”
“We still want to hang out in Jiangdong?”
“You’re getting us killed…”
…..
Many people have already gotten scared, and some have even regretted attending this banquet, isn’t this getting into the boat of thieves?
But Wu Shanju was not afraid, instead he was proud.
“I know that many of you must think that I am crazy.”
“But I tell you the truth, I am not crazy.”
“If I didn’t have something to fall back on, would I say that?”
“I’ve gotten word that the higher-ups are ready to move Chu Tianfan.”
“Over the years, Chu Tianfan has relied on his strength and disobeyed orders. The land of Jiangdong has become his own territory!”
“What has been most taboo in my Yanxia Divine State since ancient times is this, embracing an army and forming a nation of one’s own!”
“The top has long had the intention of moving him.”
“It’s just that the time has not yet come.”
“And now, the time is ripe.”
“The higher-ups have decided to take this opportunity to clear all of Tianfan’s forces in Jiangdong and completely eradicate Chu Tianfan’s influence in Jiangdong.”
“Completely take control of the land of Jiangdong and bring it back to the country!”
As the saying goes, words do not stop there.
This news from Wu Shanju caused the hearts of all those present to tremble.
Indeed, over the years, the land of Jiangdong had long since become Ye Fan’s backyard.
It could be said that the people of Jiangdong only knew about Chu Tianfan, but not the Martial God Hall!
Some time ago, Li Er even took the lead in an open conflict with Chen Jiuzhou.
At Chen Kyushu’s enthronement ceremony, Li Er nearly lost his life.
The conflict between Jiangdong and Yanshan has intensified.
In fact, those with discerning eyes had expected that there would be a battle between Jiangdong and Yanshan.
It is a battle for power and even more so a battle for legitimacy!
Yanshan, too, will not allow any province to be independent of the state establishment and disrespect its orders.
However, they did not expect that this battle would come so early.
One must know that Ye Fan had only just saved the Yanxia Martial Dao and had just saved the Martial God Hall.
It had only been a month or two since the relationship had been eased, and now they were going to formally break up and go to war?
“And I, the Wu family, have already received authorization from above.”
“It is responsible for taking over all of Mufan Group’s properties in Jiangdong, together with the Yuantu Group.”
“All of you and I, have been friends for decades.”
“Back then, we were forced by circumstances to succumb to this villain Chu Tianfan.”
“Now, the king’s division is about to descend on Jiangdong, to scrape the bones and heal the poison of my land, to clear the roots and return us to a clean and upright Jiangdong.”
“May you all join me in completely destroying Chu Tianfan’s properties in Jiangdong in order to welcome the King’s Master’s descent to the north!”
Wu Shanju opened the door and extended an olive branch to the crowd in public, inviting them to join the camp against Ye Fan.
However, there was still no response.
“Hmm?”
“What, don’t you believe in the state?”
“Or do you still want to be slaves and servants to that Chu Tianfan?”
Wu Shanju asked the crowd with a tight frown.
He had thought that his words would elicit a positive response from the crowd and would make everyone feel greatly pleased.
However, he was disappointed after all.
He was surprised to find that everyone’s interest, it seemed, was not very high.
“Mr Wu, it’s not a matter of whether you believe it or not.”
“I think that it’s fine as it is.”
“It’s not listening to anyone.”
“Besides, over the years, although Mr. Chu has been a bit overbearing, he has treated us quite well as long as we don’t have any dissenting thoughts.”
“Anyway, during the years when Mr. Chu has been in charge, we have made more money than before.”
“Moreover, when we go to do business in other provinces, once they hear that we are from Jiangdong, they are all immediately honest and don’t dare to bully us.”
“This is all because of the great reputation that Mr. Chu has made for us in Jiangdong!”
…..
“Exactly.”
“It’s said that we play dog to Mr. Chu, but if we drive Mr. Chu away, won’t the next Mr. Chen or Mr. Wu be in charge of Jiangdong just the same?”
“It’s not like being a dog to anyone!”
….
The crowd spoke with one voice and another.
Wu Shanju was all confused when he heard it, “You… You guys…”
His arms trembled, not expecting this outcome at all.
“Say it again.”
“Mr. Wu, what kind of man is that Mr. Chu?”
“Foot on the country of Japan, sweeping the world, beating the Chu Sect to disband outright!”
“To deal with Mr. Chu is only, I’m afraid, difficult?”
Someone advised to Wu Shanju.
Wu Shanju snorted, “This, you guys don’t need to worry.”
“Hall Master Chen Kyushu Chen studied under the strongest of the divine list, the Wind Queen Mu Zihua.”
“A cultivation that no one can match!”
“Even the God of War, Ye Qingtian, has been defeated under Hall Master Chen.”
“Even the God of War, Ye Qingtian, has been defeated.” “Nowadays, the Yanxia martial dao has come to revere Hall Master Chen.”
“A few days ago, Hall Master Chen himself went to Jiangdong and broke Chu Tianfan’s Yunzhou Grand Formation with three palms, and his Yunding Mountain villa was even razed to the ground by Hall Master Chen.”
“But even so, that Chu Tianfan is still in hiding, living in a snail’s nest somewhere and acting as a shrunken turtle.”
“This shows that that Chu Tianfan has been scared out of his wits.”
“Do you think that Chu Tianfan still has something to fear?”
“Moreover, Hall Master Chen has already said so.”
“The day Chu Tianfan shows his face is the day he will lose his life!”
“Hall Master Chen Kyushu will step on the bones of Chu Tianfan’s corpse and achieve Hall Master Chen’s supreme prestige!”
Wu Shanju stood with his hands in the air, smiling proudly.
A magnificent voice resounded throughout the hall.
However, the moment these words fell from Wu Shanju’s lips.
Suddenly, a morose voice came quietly, “Oh, is that so?”
When the crowd heard the words, they first trembled.
Immediately afterwards, there was a loud boom!
The glass doors and windows behind them shattered instantly.
The endless darkness outside swept in like flowing water.
And in between the glass, a black shadow, as if a ghost, appeared silently!
The darkness behind it was thick as iron, and the light before it was brilliant and bright.
He stood between light and shadow, between light and darkness, like a Hades’ robe across the Yellow Springs!
At this moment, he is the Shura of the abyss and the Hades of Hell.
