New York City.
After a gap of more than a year, Ye Fan returned to Chu Men Mountain once again.
In the past, this prosperous mountain gate had long since fallen into disrepair.
As far as the eye could see, there were broken walls and ruins everywhere.
The lofty ravines were already full of wild grass.
It is a scene of fading and decay.
Just looking at the ruins in front of us, one can tell what kind of terrible battles broke out here back then.
But it’s all in the past.
It’s all in the past.
Looking at these scenes, I guess no one would have imagined that this was once the world’s number one martial power back then.
Stepping into this land again, Ye Fan could be described as having mixed feelings, and An Qi also had mixed feelings.
“Think of the Chu Sect, thousands of years of glory.”
“In the end, it fell to you alone, Ye Fan.”
“If the Chu family had known that this would be the outcome, they would not have expelled you from the Chu family.”
On the mossy mountain path, a man and a woman were walking together.
As they approached the Chu Gate Mountain again, both of them had an unprecedentedly easy pace.
After all, once upon a time, the Truman Mountain represented power and strength.
Every time they stood under the Chu Sect Mountain, they would always unconsciously give people a sense of oppression.
Now, this mountain, the Chu Sect, had been brought down, and when they visited this place again, Ye Fan and the others, they only had a feeling of revisiting the old place.
At this moment, An Qi looked at all this, the corners of her mouth smiling, and said to Ye Fan. The first thing that happened to him was that he had to leave.
An Qi was actually quite regretful in her heart.
If, back then, the Chu family had not kicked Ye Fan out of the family.
If only, Ye Fan had grown up on the Chu family’s mountain.
Then, she and Ye Fan, would have been childhood sweethearts and childhood friends together.
Even later on, it would not be Chu Qi Tian that she married, but Ye Fan.
After all, An Qi’s marriage contract with the Chu family was, in fact, booked to Ye Fan at the very beginning.
Ye Fan was the son of the Chu family, while An Qi was even the eldest princess of the Jones family.
The two of them were truly a good match.
It was a pity that fate had a way of making things happen.
Fate had arranged for the two of them to miss each other in the end.
Now, even if they meet again, the development and ending of the story is completely different.
Ye Fan already has a wife and a family.
An Qi is no longer qualified to compete for Ye Fan’s wife.
For these regrets within An Qi’s heart, Ye Fan naturally did not know anything about them.
He walked along the mountain path, walking and watching.
The mood swings within his heart would only be more than An Qi’s.
“To think that back then, the place I could only dream of, has now become a ruin and wasteland.”
“In this world, there is no such thing as undefeated glory after all.”
Ye Fan let out a sigh of relief.
And then, he continued up the mountain.
The majority of the Chu Sect Mountain today, had fallen into disrepair and desolation.
After all, ever since Chu Yuan had led the Chu Sect to conquer the world, the reputation of the Chu Sect had long since gone bad.
The whole world now treated the Chu Sect as a synonym for evil.
Therefore, naturally, no one dared to occupy that area of the Chu Sect.
However, apart from that, the place where the Tang Family and the Chu Family were located was still inhabited.
After the destruction of the Chu Sect, the three families of the Chu Sect, except for the Jones Family, which had been relying on the power of the Dragon God Hall and had been rocketing upwards for the past year or so, had grown in prestige, while the Tang Family and the Chu Family, both of which were gradually reducing their presence in the martial arts world.
Now, the clansmen of these two families are basically living in their clans for a long time, behind closed doors.
Many young people have even left their clans and gone into hiding in faraway places, not willing to mention their origins and origins to the rest of the world.
There was no way they could not keep their tails between their legs.
After all, over the years, the Chu Clan had done too many bad things and made many enemies in the martial arts world.
Even now, the call to trample down the three families of the Chu Sect was still there.
If it wasn’t for the fear that there were still Sealed Sovereigns existing among these two families, it was estimated that they would have been slaughtered clean by martial artists all over the world by now.
“An Qi, are you going to look for your brother first, or are you going to come with me and take a trip to the Chu Family?”
The Chu Family was his own father’s clan after all.
Ye Fan decided that it would be better to go back and look at it.
“I’ll go to the Chu family with you to take a look.”
“I haven’t been there for a long time either.”
“Grandpa Xuan and Grandpa Hei, they should still be there, right?”
The Jones family and the Chu family, originally, had been long-time friends for many years.
Angie had also often followed her own father and grandfather when she was young, and went to the Chu family to play.
Therefore, there was no doubt that An Qi still knew about some of the Chu Family’s highly respected old men.
“Well, let’s go then.”
Ye Fan readily agreed, and then the two of them rushed straight to where the Chu Family’s manor was.
The Chu Family today had long since lost its glory.
Before, the Chu Family’s affiliated families were spread across the five lakes and four seas, and the money and wealth they paid in tribute alone was in the hundreds of billions every year.
But now, with the defeat of the war, all of the Chu Family’s power and industries have undoubtedly been stripped away.
Only this manor was left for the Chu family to live in.
At this moment, in the courtyard, there were quite a few people gathered.
Most of them were physically thin, their faces were white and yellow, and they all looked malnourished.
The clothes were also very plain, some of them having been washed and discoloured.
Of course, the most conspicuous thing was the heavy black iron chains they carried on their feet.
Every time they took a step, they would bring up a sound of metal clashing.
At this moment, these Chu family members, in a certain order, were standing in the courtyard.
In front of them were several staff members dressed in official uniforms, holding long whips, with aristocratic and arrogant faces.
The one in the lead was seated on a high seat with a cup of strong tea in his hand.
On either side were men standing to the left and right.
“This year, are these the only girls?”
“Your Chu family was the world’s largest family back then, with thousands of sons and daughters.”
“And now, even if it’s declining, it’s not like, with the large Chu clan, only these few young girls are found, right?”
The young man in the lead, put down his cup of tea and asked coldly.
In front of him was the old man with the highest seniority in the Chu Clan today, Chu Shen.
Chu Shen stood there, dragging a major dozen pounds of iron chains on his feet, and bitterly returned, “Councilor Du Bang, that’s really all there is.”
“Most of the young girls of my clan who are of the right age were already claimed by you last year.”
“This year, those who have just turned sixteen are the only ones left.”
Chu Shen spoke in a low voice, his tone respectful and humble.
However, no sooner had Chu Shen said these words than an official staff member, walked up and kicked Chu Shen out.
“You damned old thing, designated to be fooling us.”
“Such a big family and only seven or eight girls this year, where’s the hell is the pit?”
“I’m warning you, you better be honest.”
“Don’t think that you are still the first family of the year.”
“Now you are no better than slaves.”
“If you don’t fulfil the terms of defeat, don’t blame us for killing you!”
“What are you waiting for?”
“We’ll take at least twenty girls today.”
“If sixteen isn’t enough, then hand over the fourteen too!”
The law enforcement officer scolded sternly.
Chu Shen climbed up from his place and sighed in the face of these law enforcement officers’ gaze.
He had to ask his clan members, to hand over those girls who were under sixteen years old, to them as well.
“Xin’er!”
“No!”
“Let go of my daughter, he has only turned fourteen!!!”
At this time, a woman rushed out, wanting to hold her daughter back.
“Stinking b*tch, get lost!”
The official law enforcement officer kicked the woman to the ground.
And then, picking up the young girl, he sent her over to Councilor Dupont.
“Boss, this one is watery and good looking, she will surely give you a few big fat boys again.” The man under his hand respectfully offered the girl up.
Du Bang touched the maiden’s face and nodded in satisfaction.
But at that moment, the maiden bit down on Du Bang’s finger.
Du Bang cried out in pain and backhanded the girl and sent her flying.
“Little beast, how dare you bite me?”
“Someone, strip her of her clothes!”
“Strip naked and hang her up to be beaten!”
This Dupont councillor was furious to the extreme and shouted sternly.
Several of his men went up to the fourteen-year-old girl with steel whips in their hands and beat her.
Her mother ran over to her, crying, and took her daughter in her arms.
“How dare you come to defend her?”
“Beat her too!”
“Beat her to death!”
The leader, Dupont, ordered viciously.
Cries and miserable screams immediately resounded throughout the Chu Family Manor.
“Stop!!!”
But it was at this moment that an icy cold drink suddenly came out.
Du Bang frowned at the words, “What kind of person? How dare you interfere with my World Martial Alliance’s law enforcement?”
“Don’t you want to live?”
