Chapter 2201

Wu Shanju's words were like a gush of cold breeze. The once boisterous hall was silent in an instant.

Everyone's smile froze.

Some even grimaced as they placed the wine glasses in their hands down.

No one dared to reply to Wu Shanju's statement.

Only a few of his confidants dared to whisper, “Mind your words, Mr. Wu...”

One of his confidants, an old man, spoke in a trembling tone. How can he talk about Chu Tianfan likethat? That man has been a famous figure ever since his victorious battle at Tai Shan. He's a householdname in Jiangdong just like Tai Shan! Everyone who was ever his enemy was dead. He beheadedJiangdong's richest man, Zhao Wuji, made the prominent families in Yanjing bow to him, took down LuClan from Jiangbei, and destroyed the strongest faction in the world, Chu Sect. All his deeds ultimatelyshaped him into the most respectable figure in Jiangdong! It can be said that he's everyone's support inthis province. Yet, Wu Shanju has the gall to insult him in public! Is he not aware of the fear that hestirred up in everyone right now?

“Hahaha...”

In response, Wu Shanju cackled wildly and swept his arrogant gaze past the crowd. “Look at howpathetic you all are! Even though I only badmouthed Chu Tianfan slightly, you all already lookedterrified. If I say I'll personally destroy Mufan Group and undo Chu Tianfan's work before killing himmyself, are you all going to die of shock?”

As expected, the moment he finished that sentence, the people in the hall couldn't sit still anymore.

“Y-You sure know how to tell a joke, Mr. Wu.” Someone tried to smooth things over for Wu Shanju witha laugh.

Another person advised, “Be mindful of your words, Mr. Wu.”

“That's right, Mr. Wu. Can you not scare us?”

“We still want to live in Jiangdong.”

“You're going to drag us down with you...”

Many people were starting to grow fearful. Some even regretted attending the banquet as they felt likethey had stepped into a minefield.

Meanwhile, Wu Shanju continued to speak fearlessly and pridefully. “I know many of you will think I'mcrazy, but, truth be told, I'm not. If I don't have someone to rely on, I wouldn't have said such a thing.I've received news that the higher-ups are about to make a move against Chu Tianfan. For so manyyears, Chu Tianfan disobeyed orders simply because he was powerful. He basically turned Jiangdonginto his private land! Saspiuburg has always hated people who have a personal army and try to makean empire of their own! It is why the higher-ups have been waiting for an opportunity to take him down.And now, that opportunity has finally arrived. The higher-ups have decided to utilize this chance toremove all of Chu Tianfan's influence in Jiangdong! They are going to reclaim Jiangdong for thecountry!”

His declaration shocked everyone to the core.

Indeed, for the past few years, Jiangdong had basically become Ye Fan's back garden.

It could be said that the people of Jiangdong only knew Chu Tianfan and had no knowledge of WarGod Castle.

Some time ago, Li Er took the lead in an open conflict with Chen Jiuzhou.

Chen Jiuzhou had an enthronement ceremony, while Li Er almost lost his life.

The conflict between Mount Yan and Jiangdong was getting intense.

It was obvious to everyone that the battle was inevitable.

After all, it was a battle for power and orthodoxy.

Mount Yan wasn't going to allow the province of Jiangdong to achieve independence and would notrespect the latter's request.

However, they didn't expect the battle would come so soon.

After all, Ye Fan had just saved China's martial arts world and War God Castle.

Even though the relationship between the two factions had only eased up one or two months ago, anofficial war had already broken out.

“The higher-ups have authorized my family to work with Journey Group to take over all of MufanGroup's properties in Jiangdong. Everyone here has been my good friend for decades. Back then, wewere forced to yield to Chu Tianfan due to certain circumstances. However, the army is about to deployto Jiangdong. It will clean up this province of the scourge known as Chu Tianfan and return a fresh newJiangdong to us. I hope everyone can work with me to destroy Chu Tianfan's properties in Jiangdong towelcome the arrival of the army.” Wu Shanju went straight to the point, inviting the crowd to join hisfight against Ye Fan.

However, no one replied.

“Mhm? What, do all of you not believe in the country? Or do you still want to be Chu Tianfan's slave?”he questioned with a frown. I thought my speech would rouse their interest and they will view itpositively. Honestly, I'm quite surprised that no one seems enthused about the prospect. Howdisappointing.

Someone spoke up. “It's not a matter of belief, Mr. Wu. I just think things are fine as is. Besides, whileMr. Chu can be a little domineering, as long as we don't dissent, he treats us well. In fact, with him incharge, we've been making a lot more money than before. Additionally, whenever we leave theprovince to conduct business, no one will dare to bully or cheat us when they learn we're fromJiangdong. This is the influence Mr. Chu has forged for Jiangdong!”

Someone else added, “That's right. You say we're Mr. Chu's slave. But, even if we chase him away,won't there be another Mr. Chen or Mr. Wu to control Jiangdong? We're still going to live undersomeone's rule!”

Wu Shanju was stunned to hear what the crowd was saying. “Y-You all...”

His arm was trembling. I didn't expect this to happen!

“Besides, who do you think Mr. Chu is, Mr. Wu? He's stomped on Japan and razed Chu Sect, even thewhole world was awestruck by him! I don't think it'll be that easy to take him out,” said a randomperson.

Wu Shanju snorted. “You all don't need to worry about that! Hall Master Chen is a disciple of Mu Zihua,a mighty warrior on the Empyrean Ranking.

“He's so powerful that no one can match his level of cultivation! In fact, he has defeated Ye Qingtian!Thus, he has become the leader of China's martial arts world!

“A few days ago, Hall Master Chen personally went to Jiangdong and destroyed Chu Tianfan'sYunzhou Formation with three palm strikes! He also destroyed Chu Tianfan's Mount Yunding Villa. Yet,Chu Tianfan still refused to show himself.

“It's pretty evident that Hall Master Chen has frightened that coward! Now, tell me, is Chu Tianfan stillthat terrifying? Lastly, Hall Master Chen said that the day Chu Tianfan shows his face is the day hedies! Hall Master Chen will undoubtedly stomp on Chu Tianfan's corpse and make his name!”

As he grinned arrogantly, he placed his hands behind his back.

Just as he ended his sentence, an icy voice was heard in the hall. “Is that so?”

The crowd was stunned before they heard a loud bang.

The glass door behind them instantly exploded.

The darkness from outside flooded into the building.

Then, a black figure silently appeared like a specter.

Light shone brightly in front of him as darkness enveloped the space behind him.

He stood on the edge of light and dark as though he was Hades standing before the river Styx.
