As Chen Nan’s family rushed to the border country, the Commander-in-Chief of the Jiangdong Military Region, Lu Tianhe, also got the news of Ye Fan’s death.
For a moment, he too was trembling tremendously.
“How could this happen?”
“Back then, in the battle with the Chu Sect, how heroic was General Chu?”
“With one man’s strength, he saved the country from life and death!”
“How long has it been since then, how did it come to such an end?”
“What has happened in this time?”
Lu Tianhe was filled with grief, and his old face was covered with unspeakable shock and disbelief.
During this period of time, Lu Tianhe had been presiding over the affairs of the army and training the special warfare team.
Therefore, he had no time to get in touch with the martial arts world to learn about it.
But unexpectedly, after such a long time, the first news he got about the martial arts world was the news of Ye Fan’s death!
“General Lu, it’s not good.”
“Captain Ye and the others have gone AWOL and led the Green Dragon Warriors to who knows where?”
At this time, all of his men suddenly came to report.
When Lu Tianhe heard this, he immediately paled.
“Not good!”
“Quickly stop them!”
Lu Tianhe was shocked and then personally led his men to chase them.
Soon, Lu Tianhe stopped Ye Yuyan and the others on top of the wasteland.
“General Lu, please don’t stop us?”
“Instructor Chu died with injustice, we are going to avenge Instructor Chu!”
Ye Yuyan as well as Gao Dazhuang and the others had red eyes as they shouted angrily.
The Green Dragon Battle Team had now become the strongest battle team in the entire army.
Back then, this battle team was brought up by Ye Fan single-handedly.
Later, it has always followed Ye Fan around.
But ever since, Ye Fan decided to disband the Dragon God Temple, Ye Fan let Ye Yuyan lead the Green Dragon Battle Team and attached it to the Jiangdong Military Region.
After all, Lu Tianhe and Ye Fan were also old friends, and the Green Dragon Warriors were also considered to have come out of Jiangdong.
Ye Fan was relieved that the Green Dragon Battle Team was handed over to Lu Tianhe.
Now, he was told that Ye Fan had lost his life and was classified as the scum of the nation, saying that he deserved to die.
Ye Yuyan and the others, naturally, would not agree.
After all, it was Ye Fan who had led them to the light when they were at their dimmest.
Ye Fan had not only taught them, but also supported them with a kindness that had been recreated for them.
It was their teacher, and even more so, their idol.
Now, seeing their idol fall, and after his death, he was insulted as a thousand sinners, the scum of the nation, Ye Yuyan and the others naturally felt righteous indignation!
“This is nonsense!!!”
“Even your instructor Chu died at their hands, what can you do if you go?”
“It would still be a waste of life?!”
Lu Tianhe’s angry voice did not stop.
“I don’t care!”
“We must not watch our instructor Chu die in vain like this!”
“We must bring justice to Instructor Chu!”
Ye Yuyan and the others had red eyebrows and almost tears falling down their faces.
“That’s enough!”
“And meting out justice?”
“You have followed your instructor Chu for so long, don’t you know that in this world, there is no justice?”
“The weak eat the strong, that’s the way it’s always been!!!”
“If you go, it won’t change anything, just a few more dead souls!”
“If you still want to go and die, then don’t bother, I, Lu Tianhe, can send you on your way right now! ”
Lu Tianhe’s angry voice was so loud that his majestic words shook the heaven and earth.
Faced with Lu Tianhe’s rebuke, Ye Yuyan and the others eventually lowered their heads.
However, tears flowed out indefensibly.
“General Lu, I… We just, don’t deserve it for Instructor Chu.”
“He obviously, worked so hard to protect this country.”
“But why?”
“Why is it like this?”
“Why are good people not rewarded.”
“Why do the people who really work hard to give, end up not getting a good death.”
Unhappy, angry, aggrieved…
All sorts of emotions filled everyone in the Green Dragon Warriors.
Others might not understand Ye Fan, but they did.
Their instructor Chu, perhaps lone and arrogant, perhaps overbearing, but never did anything sinful or evil.
All his life, too, he had only wanted to protect his wife, his loved ones, his friends.
Even when the Martial Temple did that to him back then, their Instructor Chu still repaid his grievances with virtue, saving the Sword Saint from the Chu Sect, saving the Fist King, and saving the martial arts of this country.
He had clearly been guarding the country, guarding the people, in his own way.
In the end, it came to this end.
In this way, would Ye Yuyan and the others not feel aggrieved for Ye Fan in their hearts.
Lu Tianhe did not reprimand them again and walked forward, swept Ye Yuyan into his arms and comforted him.
“Silly girl, I know, what you guys are saying, I know all of it…”
“But please believe me, this world, it won’t always be this dark.”
“One day, there will appear again, a person like your instructor Chu, like a thunderbolt, exploding in this land of Yanxia, and also sweeping away the dark clouds and darkness covering our heads, setting things right.”
Lu Tianhe comforted them and eventually brought them back to the military area.
After returning to the military district, Lu Tianhe ordered the entire army, with white ribs on their sleeves, to mourn for Major General Qinglong for three days.
“General, no!”
“Major General Qinglong is now listed as a national sinner, if we hold a mourning ceremony at such a time, once word gets out, it will definitely invite disaster.” The men under his command advised bitterly.
“Chu Tianfan was a young general who came out of our Jiangdong Military Region, and was even credited with protecting the country in the battle of the Chu Gate back then. It is only natural for our military district generals to pay tribute spontaneously, I see who dares to disagree?”
“As I ordered, the whole army is released!”
“Even if there are real consequences, I, Lu Tianhe, will bear them alone!”
Lu Tianhe was overbearing and forceful.
Over the next few days, tens of thousands of generals in the Jiangdong Military Region set up tombs to pay tribute, and the sounds of mourning shook the earth.
Most of these people had probably never even met Ye Fan.
However, the legend of Major General Qinglong was always there.
They didn’t care what Ye Fan had done outside, nor did they care what the world had to say about him, they only knew that Major General Qinglong was a great hero who had come out of their Jiangdong Military Region!
Of course, the Jiangdong Military Region was not the only place that held memorial activities.
There were spontaneous tributes from all the major cities in Jiangdong, as well as from the Jiangbei region and the two provinces of Yanxia.
During the day, they scattered flowers into the Yangtze River and the Yellow River, and at night they lit candles and mourned to the sky.
In the east of the river, there were countless citizens who wept bitterly.
The soul returned to the nine heavens to mourn the night moon, and the fragrance flowed for a hundred generations to remember the spring breeze.
The streets and alleys were filled with the wails of “Mr. Chu is a thousand years old”.
As the tributes grew louder and louder, they eventually reached the land of Yanshan.
Chen Jiuzhu, as the head of the Martial Hall, was furious and sent Mo Wu Ya, the Little Fist Emperor, and his beloved Zhao Zhen Lu to Jiangdong to quell the chaos.
“Those who are obstinate will be killed without pardon!”
“After this, I will let no one in Jiangdong, dare to mention Chu Tianfan again!”
With an order from Chen Kyushu, Zhao Zhenlu led the Martial God Temple’s enforcement team to kill Jiangdong.
In just a few days, nearly a thousand people were arrested.
But fortunately, Mo Wu Ya got in the way of this and did not cause too many casualties in Jiangdong.
To Mo Wu Ya, Ye Fan was his lifelong enemy though.
When he was alive, Mo Wu Ya hated to beat Ye Fan eight times a day.
However, once Ye Fan died, Mo Wu Ya could not help but feel a bit sad when the rabbit died.
What’s more, he had no deep hatred for Ye Fan, and now that the lord of his generation had fallen like this, Mo Wu Ya was a little sad.
Apart from this, the impact of Ye Fan’s fall continues to fester.
Even the Supreme God of the Sun Kingdom, Moon Reader, had directly killed his way up to Yan Mountain, threatening to destroy the Martial God Hall.
But he was stopped by the Queen of Wind, Mu Zihua.
The strongest martial artists of the two nations battled on the shores of the Eastern Sea.
In the end, the Moon God was defeated and was struck by the Wind Empress Mu Zihua into the Deep Sea of the Nine Mysteries with a slap, and his life and death were unknown.
