Chapter 2198

Ye Fan's departure this time was silent.

No one in Yunzhou apart from Li Er and a few trusted confidants knew about his return to Jiangdong.

Perhaps no one expected the hero of their generation to end his era in such an obscure way.

However, Ye Fan left blithely, though the same could not be said for Li Er.

After all, he still had to live his life, and he needed to take care of his subordinates.

As for the properties in Jiangdong left behind by Ye Fan, Li Er had to manage them too.

After sending Ye Fan off, Li Er returned to the Li residence without having time to embrace the sorrow.

“Mr. Li, you're finally back. I thought you got scared and ran away.”

Just as he arrived at the manor, Li Er realized the hall was crowded with people.

Standing in front of the crowd was Zhao Hongtu of Journey Group and his bodyguards.

There were also two foreigners who showed up that day.

They were tall and burly and had fair skin and high nose bridges. Those were the characteristics ofpeople from Western Epea.

“How is it going, Mr. Li? Have you considered the matter I talked to you about yesterday? Will youcontinue keeping the treasures or will you hand them to Journey Group? Oh, before you give me youranswer, let me introduce two of my friends to you.”

While saying that, Zhao Hongtu shifted his gaze to the two Western Epeans.

“These are my friends from the martial arts world of Western Epea. This is Mr. Ted, and this is Mr.Phelp. Their national treasure was taken away by Chu Sect in the past, so they've come to China tolook for it. They've been wanting to see you for a long time, and I've been helping you stop them.Today, however, I can't stop them anymore,” Zhao Hongtu uttered helplessly.

“Oh, I almost forgot to mention this. They're both Grandmasters.” Zhao Hongtu smiled coldly. Therewas even an indescribable emotion in his tone.

The meaning he was implying could not be more obvious.

If Li Er handed Chu Sect's treasure to the other party, Li Er and his men would be safe.

If not, Li Er would have to deal with the foreigners who came seeking the treasure.

Surprisingly, Li Er snickered in response. “Mr. Zhao, you've underestimated me. I've seen bigger thingsafter traveling all around the world with Mr. Chu in the past few years. In fact, I even went to MountYunding with Mr. Chu and destroyed Chu Sect a few months ago. Even god realm masters can't makeme yield. Do you think I'll fear these measly Grandmasters you're talking about?”

“You—” Li Er's provocation infuriated Zhao Hongtu greatly.

Since Li Er had already said that, Zhao Hongtu dropped his act.

“Very well, Li Er. I gave you an easy way out, yet you refused it. Looks like you don't plan on handingover Chu Sect's treasures without a fight, eh? If that's the case, I wish you all the best.”

Zhao Hongtu scoffed and turned to the two Grandmasters from Western Epea. “Gentlemen, JourneyGroup shall no longer be involved in Dragon God Hall's matters. Please do as you see fit.”

Hearing that, the two Grandmasters nodded before turning around with an icy glare.

“Mr. Li, right? We're here on behalf of our country to get our lost national treasure. Please hand it over.You can also tell us where it's hidden, and we'll go over to retrieve it ourselves.”

Li Er sat on the chair while smiling faintly. “What if I refuse to cooperate?”

“Then, don't blame us for showing you no mercy,” said Ted as his aura around him grew stronger.

Immediately after that, a terrifying Grandmaster energy shot out.

The Qi generated was powerful enough to send the bodyguards behind Li Er stumbling backward.

It seemed that the two foreigners were going to attack and force Li Er to give in.

Jin Bao and Yin Bao went pale with fright.

After all, almost all the fighters of Dragon God Hall had gone to India with Ye Fan.

There was practically no one else left in Jiangdong.

In other words, they were incapable of defending themselves against the two Grandmasters.

However, Li Er remained as cool as a cucumber. “Surely you two know what place this is? Well, if youdon't, I'd like to inform you that this is Jiangdong, the hometown of the Unrivalled Supreme, ChuTianfan. How dare you foreigners dare act so unruly here? Aren't you worried our master will eliminateyour country when he replaces out about this?”

Li Er looked incredibly stern.

However, the Grandmasters only burst into laughter.

“Hahaha! Are you talking about Chu Tianfan? He's just a coward. Now that the Empyrean Rankingexists, my lord Zeus, Odin, and the other god realm masters are on the list too. Chu Tianfan is nothing

compared to them. The only thing he can do now is to hide in a corner and not reveal himself. Whatwere you thinking, scaring us using the name of a coward who doesn't even dare to show his face?You've miscalculated, dude.”

The Western Epeans laughed boisterously, showing no signs of fear.

Just as Jin Bao and the others had lost all hope, an icy voice traveled from outside the hall. “Oh, is thatso?”

Li Er, Jin Bao, and the others were dumbfounded when they heard the voice.

Then, they hurriedly turned around.

The longer they stared, the greater their surprise grew.

A charming figure stepped in from the outside.

He wore a black shirt and had a frosty expression.

The heavy sound of footsteps echoed throughout the manor as he walked on the tiles.

The moment he showed himself, the crowd felt as if the temperature in the room had droppedsignificantly.

Zhao Hongtu narrowed his eyes at the intruder.

Though Zhao Hongtu did not know who the newcomer was, he could tell the latter had no goodintentions based on his aura.

The two Western Epeans frowned too.

They did not act rashly but instead scrutinized the man, who suddenly showed up.

Although the foreigners could not identify the intruder's cultivation level, they had a feeling the latterwas someone powerful.

“Who are you? Let me give you a word of advice. Don't be nosy if it's none of your business. If not, youmight lose your life, and that'd be a waste,” warned the Western Epeans, staring at the intruder with ahostile gaze.

The man simply smiled. “What if I say this is my business?”

The Western Epeans scowled at his words.

“Judging by your tone, you'll be interfering with today's matters, eh? Fine. We don't mind killing anotherperson since you asked for it.”

The look in the Western Epeans' eyes turned cold. They glanced at each other before slapping theirpalms fiercely.

Boom!

They slapped their palms on each other's chests nearly at the same time, creating a powerful gust ofwind in the hall from the great impact.

The doors and windows shattered, as well as the tea set that flew out and fell to the ground.

What shocked the Western Epeans was that the opponent was unaffected even when they had put intheir all in the attack.

The two were baffled by what they saw.

Growing wary, they took a few steps backward and eyed the opponent grimly. “What a powerful body.Who exactly are you? Introduce yourself now!”

Suddenly, Jin Bao and Yin Bao burst out laughing.

“What ignorant fools. That's Mr. Chu standing right in front of you. How could you not know?”

Jin Bao and Yin Bao snickered.

However, their laugher struck the Western Epeans like a bolt of lightning.

Even Zhao Hongtu, who was standing by the side, trembled violently.

“W-What did you say? H-he's... Chu Tianfan?”

How's that possible? Isn't he in hiding? How dare he come out?

Zhao Hongtu and the others' pupils narrowed as their eyes widened with shock.
