Best Young Master

Chapter 965: Chapter 850 The Curtain Falls

Time flies, months pass like a shuttle, and in the blink of an eye, six months have passed, leaving all those waiting for Ye Fan’s return with their hopes completely dashed.

In half a year, so many things can happen. If Ye Fan and the others were still alive, they should have found a way out by now.

It now seems that Xu Wudao and Anton were telling the truth, that except for the two of them, everyone who entered the Forbidden Land has died, without exception.

For the past six months, Xu Wudao and Anton have lived in constant anxiety, fearing that Ye Fan’s trio might come out of the Forbidden Land, which would expose their lies to the world.

If that were to happen, they not only couldn’t share in the rewards from the Hidden God List competition, but might end up disgraced and punished — Yan Jue would definitely not spare them!

Yet, it seems fate is assisting them; six months have passed, and Ye Fan, Su Liuli, and Chu Ji still haven’t emerged from the Forbidden Land.

"Sigh..."

At the Yanhuang Organization headquarters, Yan gazed at the northern sky, sighed heavily, then suppressed the sorrow in his heart, adjusted his expression, and prepared to convene the War God Alliance Hierarch meeting to distribute six million Essence Stones as agreed upon six months ago to Xu Wudao and Anton.

Six million Essence Stones!

This is a fortune large enough to make anyone envious!

Even as heirs to ancient forces, Xu Wudao and Anton are irresistibly tempted by such wealth.

This is the reason Xu Wudao chose to spread rumors at the risk of punishment!

During the meeting, hearing Yan announce the distribution of six million Essence Stones to Xu Wudao and Anton, Zorn, Shijia Mo Ye, Rodriguez, and Essenfake felt very complex.

If their heirs hadn’t died, some of these Essence Stones would undoubtedly have gone to their families. But now, they can only watch as these stones fall into the pockets of the Xu Family and the Luoke Family.

The only comfort they have is knowing that Ye Fan, who killed their heirs, has ultimately failed to emerge alive from the Forbidden Land, which indirectly avenges them.

After the rewards were decided, Xu Tianqi and Mei Luo dared not be careless and dispatched strong people from their clans to the War God Alliance headquarters to collect the Essence Stones.

The Hidden God List competition, at this point, has truly come to a close, with the news of reward distribution spread rapidly throughout the global cultivation world.

"I really didn’t expect the result to be like this!"

"Ye Fan, once in the limelight and hailed as the most hopeful candidate to win the Hidden God List competition, died in the Forbidden Land; what a pity."

"Yes! Had he not died, neither Xu Wudao nor Anton could be his competitors — he would definitely become the future leader in the human cultivation world!!"

Some neutral cultivators expressed their views, believing Xu Wudao and Anton were not truly Ye Fan’s match, but merely lucky.

These comments were immediately refuted by staunch supporters of Xu Wudao and Anton, who believed that being alive is the ultimate truth, no matter how talented one might be.

Ye Fan was powerful, but a deceased genius remains useless; he has become a thing of the past.

When the news reached the Jiang Family, Jiang Ying suddenly stood up from her chair and said gloomily, "Ye Fan, Ye Fan, has it come to this for you? It’s a pity I couldn’t witness your miserable end personally."

With her great enemy avenged, Jiang Ying felt both happy and lost; although Ye Fan’s death avenged her great enmity, her own cultivation had been crippled by Ye Fan, and she now must live as an ordinary person.

For someone proud and once possessing great power, this disparity grieves her more than death.

Jiang Yurong naturally understood her feelings but didn’t know how to comfort her, merely sighed lightly, feeling the great burden in her heart about Ye Fan and Chu Xuanji’s deaths had finally been lifted.

Chu Xuanji’s power was lost and posed no further threat, which she didn’t mind, but Ye Fan’s rapid growth was too fast. If he hadn’t died, within a few years, he could have indeed contended against her. noveldrama

At that point, it would likely become a disaster for the entire Jiang Family, so no one was happier about Ye Fan’s death than she!

"The arrogant Ye Fan, ruthless and unjust, deserved this death as heavenly punishment!"

Jiang Yurong publicly claimed, without mentioning the teamwork of several youth geniuses against him in the Holy Land, intentionally misrepresenting and maligning Ye Fan.

If anyone wanted Ye Fan dead most within the Forbidden Land, it would undoubtedly be Jiang Yurong, given their deep-seated enmity with Ye Fan, naturally preferring his demise.

Even though the Jiang Family has declined, they remain one of the ancient families in Hua Xia’s cultivation world since ancient times, with some influence; her voice soon spread through the cultivation world.

Unsurprisingly, her comments resonated with some of Ye Fan’s enemies.

Including the Ross family, the Elfa Tribe, the Huang Jin Family, and the Tianzhu Buddhist Sect!

Ye Fan annihilated their most outstanding heirs, a feud beyond reconciliation, even though Ye Fan died in the Forbidden Land, they zealously criticized and defamed him.

For a time, rumors spread throughout the cultivation world, claiming Ye Fan was ruthless, killing the Six Great Geniuses to monopolize the Hidden God List rewards.

Of course, not all cultivators were fooled; many who attended the Hidden God List competition or learned the truth at Bei Hai Canyon knew the true story.

Yet—

Even so, no one spoke up for Ye Fan.

Because Ye Fan is already dead, in the future cultivation world, Xu Wudao and Anton will undoubtedly shine brightly, and they haven’t had close ties with Ye Fan, so there’s no need to risk offending Xu Wudao and Anton to defend Ye Fan.

Moreover, it’s evident that the Six Great Ancient Forces are involved secretly, and they wouldn’t foolishly contradict the long-standing Six Great Ancient Forces!

The competition results naturally reached Chen Daozang’s ears, and upon learning both Ye Fan and Chu Xuanji died in the Forbidden Land, Chen Daozang revealed a cruel smile.

Though Xue Chou died in the Holy Land, he was merely a pawn, an adopted son; losing Xue Chou in exchange for Ye Fan and Chu Xuanji’s deaths seemed worthwhile to him.

...

Lv Family Ancestral Land.

"Damn it, that old witch! Utterly shameless, clearly it was those six bastards who wanted to kill Ye Zi, but in her mouth, it turned into Ye Fan intentionally killing them, completely reversing right and wrong!"

Jiang Yurong’s words reached Lv Zhan’s ears, and he immediately couldn’t sit still, jumped up, and cursed angrily.

"Brother Lv, save your breath; there’s no point in arguing with that old witch; when a dog bites you, can you bite it back?" Xiao Selang advised beside him.

Ever since learning Ye Fan died in the Forbidden Land, he emerged from seclusion, travelling from Tian Shan Sword Sect directly to the Lv Family to confirm the situation with Lv Zhan.

Not only him, but Wu Zi and Ye Hei also came, none of them believed Ye Fan truly perished in the Forbidden Land, hence seeking out Lv Zhan for answers.

Hearing his grandson’s words, Lv Yuan sighed and said, "Actually, I also don’t believe Ye Fan truly died in the Forbidden Land, but six months have passed. If he encountered no issues, he should have emerged long ago. Now, having not surfaced, the situation is likely unfavorable."

"Grandfather, I absolutely refuse to believe Ye Fan died in the Forbidden Land. Don’t forget, Ye Fan is profoundly skilled at creating miracles; I trust he definitely won’t die this time either!"

Lv Zhan looked at his grandfather, speaking with strong conviction.

Lv Yuan’s heart was moved; Lv Zhan was right, Ye Fan was adept at producing miracles, countless times when people thought he couldn’t recover, yet he always managed to surprise them.

"What do you want to say? Just say it directly." Lv Yuan knew his treasured grandson had more to express, so he encouraged him to speak.

Lv Zhan glanced at Xiao Selang and Wu Zi, Ye Hei, resolutely saying, "I wish to go to Bei Hai Canyon with them. If Ye Fan truly hasn’t died, once he emerges, we can meet him."

Lv Yuan paused, surprised his grandson was more firmly convinced of Ye Fan’s survival than himself, pondered for a moment, then said, "Today’s cultivation world is full of uncertainty, where strength is paramount. I have no objection to you heading to Bei Hai Canyon, but don’t neglect cultivation; even if Ye Fan has truly died, you must transform your sorrow into strength and cultivate diligently."

"Rest assured, we won’t slack in cultivation; the Heaven and Earth Primordial Qi in Bei Hai Canyon is comparable to our Lv Family Ancestral Land, making cultivation there twice as effective."

With those words, Lv Zhan stopped wasting time, directly leading Xiao Selang, Ye Hei, and Wu Zi away from the Lv Family Ancestral Land, heading to Bei Hai Canyon.

Meanwhile.

Dark Council headquarters.

"Ye Fan, did you really die?"

Olivia gazed at the eastern horizon, lost in thought, "You must live because I’m still waiting for you to repay the favor you owe me..."
