“What?”
“The God of War and the Sword Saint, they’re also going to participate in the Dragon Gate Project?”
“Doesn’t that mean that the number of places we can fight for is three less?”
Hearing that the War God and the others would also be participating in the Dragon Gate Project, another clamour undoubtedly came from the crowd below.
However, everyone didn’t complain about anything.
The War Gods had given so much to this country, so even if they didn’t participate in the selection, it was only right that they would directly take up the Dragon Gate training slots.
In this respect, it was also enough to prove that the Dragon Gate Training was a great help to power enhancement.
Otherwise, even the War God and others would not have been able to resist the temptation.
As Chen Jiuzhou’s words were read out, the black dragon gate closed once more and sank beneath the ground.
The crowd also dispersed one by one, preparing for tomorrow’s events.
As the crowd dispersed, the place was suddenly much emptier.
Chen Kyushu soon noticed Ye Fan, who was standing next to Ye Qingtian.
“Chu Tianfan, you haven’t left yet?”
“You do have the guts to injure my beloved and still dare to stay on Yan Mountain?”
“Do you really think that I, Chen Kyushu, would not dare to kill you?”
Chen Kyushu’s expression immediately turned cold.
In his low words, there was a murderous intent raging in the air.
“Then you can try.” Ye Fan also did not let up in the slightest, and the two of them once again faced each other.
The atmosphere here was tense for a while, like a powder keg filled with explosives that would ignite at the first touch.
Seeing this, Ye Qingtian hurriedly came out to explain, “Kyushu, have you forgotten Queen Feng’s instructions?”
“The Dragon Gate plan is at a critical time in its implementation, there is no room for half-hearted surprises.”
“Besides, this time Ye Fan came to Yanshan with no malicious intent.”
“He was just curious about the Dragon Gate Plan and came to watch and examine it.”
After Ye Qingtian explained a bit, it really worked.
Chen Kyushu did not give Ye Fan a hard time anymore, but suddenly let out a laugh.
“What, he also wants to enter the Dragon Sect for training?”
“That’s not a no-no.”
“The original purpose of my Dragon Sect program was to strengthen the martial power of my Yanxia.”
“Although Chu Tianfan is a rebel and disobeys the orders of the Martial Hall, he is still a descendant of my Yan Xia.”
“If he also wishes to enter the Dragon Sect for training, I, on the part of the Martial God Hall, can give him a place.”
Chen Kyushu’s sudden gesture of goodwill caused both Ye Qingtian and the Sword Saint to be somewhat surprised.
They hadn’t expected that Chen Kyushu, who had always been pretentious, would be so generous in the matter of the Dragon Sect’s training.
“Hahahaha…”
“Kyushu, if you can think like that, then it’s really the best.”
“Those who achieve great things have to put aside personal grudges and put the greater good first.”
“Only then will one be a qualified leader.”
“As the saying goes, only those who are subjected to the scourge of the country are masters of the community.”
“If you have such a broad-mindedness, we are relieved to entrust the management of the Yanxia Martial Dao to you.”
Both the Sword Saint and the War God were delighted.
Chen Kyushu did not say anything else, and only smiled at Ye Qingtian and the others with a slightly deeper meaning.
Afterwards, he also went to his own business and did not drive Ye Fan away from the Martial God Hall again.
“Ye Fan, in this matter of personal grudges, you still need to learn more from Kyushu.”
“Let’s not say which of you is stronger or weaker, but at least this mind is worth learning from you.”
“Do you know how valuable the quota for the Dragon Gate training is?”
“Before, there were rich businessmen who used ten billion dollars to buy their sons a place in the Dragon Sect training, and they were all turned away by Kyushu.”
“Now, before I even mention it, Kyushu is already going to give you the green light.”
“It is evident that, in his heart, he really does have Yanxia’s future in mind.”
After Chen Kyushu left, Ye Qingtian spoke without admiration.
Ye Fan, however, hummed and laughed, “Do you really think that this Chen Kyushu is so kind-hearted? It’s just a weasel worshipping a chicken.”
“Ye Fan, if you want to say that, then you are narrow-minded. Kyushu was kind enough to give you a place, so it’s just as well that you don’t thank him, how can you still judge a gentleman’s heart with such a heart?” Ye Qingtian frowned and said with some displeasure.
Ye Fan was in no hurry to answer.
Instead, he looked around and whispered, “Do you have time tonight, God of War, there are some things that I would like to talk to you about alone.”
“I have a meeting tonight, I’m afraid I won’t be able to get away.” Ye Qingtian seemed to be dissatisfied with Ye Fan’s words and actions just now, and declined Ye Fan’s invitation.
“The matter I want to talk to you about tonight is a matter of the life and death of the country, or even, the survival of the world.”
“Come or not, it’s up to you.”
Ye Fan said calmly, and without waiting for Ye Qingtian to reply, he turned around and walked towards the outside of the Martial God Hall.
Ye Fan’s words undoubtedly caused Ye Qingtian to flinch.
Hearing his tone of voice, it did not seem like a joke.
However, now that the Chu Sect had been destroyed, Chu Yuan had died, and the world’s martial dao was in a rare period of peace.
At this time, what crisis could there be that could threaten the life and death of the country and the survival of Yan Xia?
“Old Ye, why don’t you just go there?”
“Chu Tianfan doesn’t seem like someone who likes to joke around.” The Sword Saint said from the side.
Ye Qingtian nodded his head, “Good.”
In the end, Ye Qingtian went along.
The two of them found a tavern and sat down at a seat by the window.
Ye Qingtian ordered some wine and food.
“Tell me, what is the purpose of your visit to Yanshan this time?”
Ye Qingtian poured his tea and asked Ye Fan with interest.
“God of War, the next words may seem unbelievable to you.”
“But for the sake of Yanxia and for the sake of this world, I still hope that you will take it on faith.”
As soon as Ye Fan spoke, he made the War God’s entire body tense up.
“I suspect that the so-called Dragon Gate is a conspiracy, a source of misfortune that will destroy the world.”
“All those who entered the Dragon Gate for training were all planted with spiritual brands and reduced to puppets, subject to manipulation…”
……
Ye Fan looked grave and very serious as he told Ye Qingtian all of his speculations and suspicions.
After hearing this, Ye Qingtian’s entire body was shocked, and he actually stood up straight away.
“A conspiracy of the foreign devil?”
“A puppet under manipulation?”
“Ridiculous!”
“Never!”
“Ye Fan, do you know, what are you talking about?”
Ye Qingtian’s old face was ironic, but he simply could not accept what Ye Fan had just said.
“Not to mention, is that so-called Dragon Gate, the forbidden gate you speak of, a source of calamity or not?”
“But, you went so far as to say that all the martial predecessors on top of the divine list were all puppet slaves who had already been enslaved by the foreign devil?
“This is in no way possible!”
“Queen Wind and Asura, what kind of cultivation level are they?”
“It is estimated that they already have the power of the God Realm!”
“In this world, how can there be beings that can enslave God Realm powerhouses?”
Ye Qingtian roared incredulously.
In fact, one could not blame Ye Qingtian for being unable to accept it.
Mainly, what Ye Fan had just said was too much information and too shocking.
One had to know that the martial world nowadays basically held those few people on top of the God List as their faith and leaders.
If these people were all puppets enslaved by the foreign devils.
Wouldn’t that mean that the global martial arts world was already being played by the foreign devils?
They, the Martial God Hall, had even become the minions of the foreign devils as well.
“War God, these words of mine are in no way nonsensical.”
“Rather, there are my Chu Family’s ancient texts, as proof.”
“Today, that Chen Jiuzhou has asked me to enter the Dragon Gate for training. The purpose, supposedly, is to also let me enter it, have my soul seal planted by the foreign devil, and then be mentally controlled by it, becoming their minions and puppets.” Ye Fan solemnly recounted.
But Ye Qingtian continued to shake his head.
He gradually calmed down, “Ye Fan, I know you are not giving me some nonsense. But speculation is speculation after all.”
“I don’t think that there are creatures that are strong enough to control the souls of strong people in the God Realm.”
“Even less do I think that Queen Wind and Kyushu, are harming my Yanxia.”
“Moreover, even if, as you say, such a terrifying creature really exists, then what is his purpose in going to such lengths to cultivate powerful people and enslave others?”
