Chapter 18: Chapter 18 God Ye, I Look Forward to Your Return
At this very moment, Jiang Hong was as if driven mad.
Because of one Ye Fan, the century-old foundation of the Jiang Family was thus destroyed, and Jiang Hong's hatred for Ye Fan cut to the bone.
"God Ye, now is the time!"
Suddenly, Lin Wu bellowed, and in his hand, a flash bomb was tossed into the sky, instantly turning the whole world as bright as day, blinding Jiang Hong.
"Son of a bitch, you think you can mess with me? Damn it, I'm going to kill this little whore right now!"
As the flash bomb ignited, Jiang Hong felt a chill run down his spine; he knew he was finished, but before he died, he wanted to take Ye Ling'er with him.
So, Jiang Hong aimed the Desert Eagle at the trigger.
Bang—
Just then, from a distance, a long-hidden sniper seized the moment and boldly pulled the trigger.
A metal bullet burst forth and struck harshly on Jiang Hong's right arm.
"Awoo!"
His right arm having been hit, a surge of intense pain almost sent Jiang Hong into fainting, his right hand trembling, and the Desert Eagle falling somberly to the ground.
"Kill!!!"
Ye Fan's eyes shot a sharp gleam, fierce like a hawk, intimidating and soul-shaking. He grabbed a military saber from the waist of a soldier next to him and charged forward as fast as lightning.
Whoosh—the sharp military saber flashed past Jiang Hong's throat even before the effect of the flash bomb subsided.
Immediately thereafter, the effect of the flash bomb faded, and everyone's vision returned to normal.
"Uh... Ah..."
Jiang Hong only felt a pain in his throat and incredulously widened his eyes.
Opening his mouth, Jiang Hong found he could not utter a single word; his consciousness dissipated completely, and his body fell heavily backward.
"Patriarch!"
Seeing Jiang Hong fall to the ground, a group of Jiang Family People's faces changed dramatically.
Lin Wu made a decisive decision, "Charge, all of you, charge!"
"Take them down, and execute any resisters on the spot!"
Several other Warzone magnates shouted loudly as countless soldiers rushed towards the battle machine.
"It's over; the Jiang Family is completely finished!"
Seeing this, Jiang Zhongmou sat down on the ground, dispirited, as if he had aged decades in an instant.
Ye Ling'er was successfully rescued by Ye Fan, and the situation was settled; the Jiang Family was doomed to dissipate from Central Plains today.
An hour later, a huge uproar stirred throughout Central Plains City.
"Holy shit! The Jiang Family was annihilated? Can this even be real?"
"Yeah, the Jiang Family is a century-old noble clan; how could they just be wiped out like this? With Jiang Zhongmou coming from the Jiang Family and under his protection, how could they possibly be annihilated?"
"I've got no idea, the annihilation of the Jiang Family is just unbelievable!"
For a time, countless citizens within Central Plains territory were like a pot boiling over, all of them in disbelief over this fact.
You should know that the Jiang Family is a century-old noble clan, deeply entrenched within Central Plains. Learning of their fall, the shock among the people was no less than if Alibaba had suddenly collapsed.
News of the event caused a massive stir among the noble clans and powerful families of the Central Plains, who mobilized their vast networks of connections to investigate exactly what had happened.
Countless journalists and media outlets covered the story, rushing to the Jiang Family Mansion at the first opportunity.
To everyone's shock, the Jiang Family Mansion was neat and tidy, with no signs of a struggle, as if the entire Jiang Family had simply vanished from the face of the earth.
Only a select few knew that before the Jiang Family was wiped out, they had rushed to the mansion.
Once the authorities stepped in, no one dared to dig any further, and the matter ended there, but the shock it caused in people's hearts could not dissipate for a long time.
...
As the night gradually enveloped the land, on the rooftop of the Warzone Hospital.
"All finished?"
Seeing Ye Fan come up with an exhausted face, the man in black greeted him with a smile.
Ye Fan sighed with a sense of relief and gave a wry smile, "I suppose so!"
"How's the situation?" the man in black asked.
Ye Fan let out a sigh, "Ruo Xue's problem isn't major. She mainly passed out due to excessive shock. Although Jiang Hong slashed her face twice, with my medical skills, healing her isn't an issue!"
"It's just Ling'er whose condition isn't looking good. Despite using Dragon Blood Grass for treatment, she has severe qi damage, mainly because the rescue wasn't timely enough. Thankfully, Ling'er managed to snatch herself from Jiang Hong's grasp at the critical moment!"
"Otherwise, if we were three minutes, no, even one minute slower, Ling'er might have truly been beyond help! Even after she wakes up, she will remain weak for a long time."
At this point, Ye Fan felt a sourness in his heart. As a father, he indeed hadn't managed to protect his daughter this time.
"It's good that she's alright! Let me know if you need anything!" the man in black nodded.
Ye Fan smiled, "Don't worry, if I need anything, I'll definitely let you know!"
"What are your plans next?"
After a moment of silence, the man in black spoke up.
Ye Fan knew the man in black wanted to recruit him, but he shook his head, "I don't have any plans at the moment. Right now, I just want to spend quality time with my wife and daughter."
Ye Fan shook his head again, "I appreciate your kindness, but I really just want to be with my wife and daughter!"
"Well...okay then!"
Seeing Ye Fan's resolute face, the man in black looked regretful.
After a pause, the man in black spoke again, "I know you come from the ancient sect, the Medicine God Pavilion, and are its Junior Pavilion Master, but I must remind you, to my knowledge, there has been a change within the Medicine God Pavilion!"
"After your six-year absence, everyone thought you were dead, including the Medicine God Pavilion. With a new Junior Pavilion Master emerging, if he discovers you're alive, he will certainly try to kill you!"
"After all, only with your death can he secure the position of Junior Pavilion Master of the Medicine God Pavilion!"
Upon hearing this, Ye Fan, with hands clasped behind his back, spoke indifferently, "The mere position of Junior Pavilion Master... Let whoever wants it take it. It's of no great consequence!"
In his six years in the Central Plains, he had established a family, with a divinely beautiful wife, Su Ruoxue, and a lovely daughter, Ye Ling'er. Ye Fan now only wanted to stay away from the noisy world, to watch his daughter grow up slowly and live out the years with Su Ruoxue as they both aged.
"It seems you're truly not considering coming back," the man in black said with a touch of regret.
Knowing Ye Fan's decision, the man in black no longer persuaded him, "Then go as you wish. The battle six years ago saved the Heavenly Abode Country. Before you leave, I will give you the largest Dihao Group in the Central Plains territory. Don't be polite with me; consider it a token of my regard!"
"If you have any trouble in the Central Plains in the future, feel free to contact Lin Wu! Of course, if you ever wish to return, the position of Warzone President is yours!"
"God Ye, I look forward to your return!"
