"There you are, Ye Fan."
"I have been waiting for you here for a long time."
The faint words, as if an old friend had met, rang out slowly between this night.
Beneath his feet, the waves rolled.
The waters of the Yellow River reflect the light of the moon, stretching endlessly, as if from the sky.
The man stands here as if he is one with the night around him, blending into the sky.
As he said this, this white-clothed figure always had his back to Ye Fan.
On the banks of the Yellow River, he stood with his hands folded, only looking at the long, long river rolling by, the ten thousand miles of mountains and rivers like a picture.
However, even if he could not see his face, just through his revealed aura, Ye Fan already knew who the person in front of him really was.
Faced with this person's words, Ye Fan did not speak for a long time.
He just stood in place, his deep pupils looking ahead, and above his clear face, there were indefinable emotions.
Like this, the silence here lasted for a long time.
Finally, due to the injury of Tang Yun in his arms, he could no longer afford to delay, so Ye Fan took the lead and opened his mouth.
"I, Ye Fan, have travelled across half of my life. I don't know how many battles I have fought."
"Even the strongest enemies, if they stand in my way, I will not hesitate to kill them."
"But if there is only one person in this world that I would not want to fight, it is you."
"God of War Ye Qingtian."
Ye Fan's voice was not loud, but it carried extra weight when it fell on the ears of others.
Hearing this, the white-clothed figure in front of him, who had been turning his back to Ye Fan, finally turned around.
Under the moonlight, above the War God's majestic face, yet it still wore a smile.
"Since that's the case, then put down Tang Yun."
"In the future, you and I will still be known as brothers."
If it was said that when he first met Ye Fan, Ye Qingtian only treated him as a junior youth with potential.
But as Ye Fan's strength gradually became apparent, Ye Qingtian had long since treated Ye Fan as an existence on the same level as himself.
The weak are the strong, and strength is paramount.
In this world, this was how it had always been.
If you want to gain the respect of others, then you must have the strength to match.
Ye Fan, on the other hand, clearly had the qualifications to speak with the War God on an equal footing.
"I'm sorry."
"This request, I cannot meet."
"I have long said that today, even if the entire world stands in my way, I will still kill a bloody path and bring her safely away."
Without the slightest hesitation, the moment the words fell from the War God, Ye Fan refused outright.
The words were firm and could be described as decisive!
"Also included, a battle with me?" Ye Qingtian raised his eyebrows and asked in a deep voice.
"Not without a battle." Ye Fan's words were short, but powerful.
Whew~
The moment Ye Fan's words fell, the temperature around him instantly dropped straight down.
The cold wind rose at first, and the falling leaves flew.
Even the monstrous Yellow River beneath Ye Qingtian's feet set off majestic waves.
In the sky, the wind rose and the clouds surged.
Here and there, the waves roared wildly.
A supreme battle seemed to be on the verge of breaking out.
"Ye Fan, I..."
Seemingly feeling the powerful oppression from the War God, Tang Yun's pretty face in Ye Fan's arms undoubtedly turned even paler.
She pulled at the corner of Ye Fan's coat, her watery beautiful eyes looking towards Ye Fan, as if she was trying to persuade him to leave her alone again.
After all, Ye Qingtian was not like other people.
This person had been famous for a long time and was the number one powerhouse in Yanxia.
Back then, when Tang Yun had not yet taken the position of the Chu Sect's Sect Master, the name of the God of War, Ye Qingtian, had already become famous all over the world.
Although Tang Yun was ranked above Ye.
However, after all, she had never fought Ye Qingtian head-on.
Even Tang Yun herself had no idea of the strength of this God of War of Yanxia, not to mention Ye Fan, who had only recently become famous.
However, there was no chance for Ye Fan to speak to Tang Yun.
As he watched, the young man slowly bent down, and then gently placed Tang Yun on top of a boulder to the side: "Wait for me here."
"Don't worry, as the man who conquered the Chu Sect's Sect Master, there aren't many people in this world who can hurt me."
"But~"
Tang Yun was still relieved and reached out her hand to pull Ye Fan.
But the teenager, had long since left.
On the shore of the cold river, a thin teenager and a white-clothed figure stood far apart.
Although neither of them had made a move yet, a majestic might was already sweeping out from Ye Fan and Ye Qingtian.
In an instant, the heaven and earth seemed to be like a pot of boiling water, boiling violently.
A fierce gale, like an ocean storm, swept across all directions.
Finally, both of their auras had coalesced to an extreme point.
Just when Ye Fan thought that the God of War was about to strike.
Who would have thought that the aura on the God of War's body would abruptly dissipate.
"You go."
"My sword, Ye Qingtian's, will only kill foreign traitors, not the sons of Yanhuang."
Ye Qingtian spoke in a deep voice.
He could not, after all, lay a hand on Ye Fan.
"However, before I go, I need to confirm one thing."
Speaking here, Ye Qingtian abruptly turned around, his pair of cold eyes, looking towards Ye Fan who was dying of breath in front of him, his dress stained with blood.
"Tang Yun, tell the truth, those 100,000 or so people of my Yanxia, were really killed by you?"
Ye Qingtian's icy eyes were cold, and his morose words carried a dense chill and oppression.
If it were anyone else, facing such a mighty war god, they would not even have the courage to raise their heads to speak.
But Tang Yun, however, calmly replied, "In front of me, these mortals are like ants."
"But killing recklessly is also definitely not something I, Tang Yun, would do."
"So, the tragedy in Yan Yang Town was not your doing?" Ye Qingtian followed up with a rhetorical question.
For some reason, after hearing that Tang Yun was not the true culprit, Ye Qingtian's expression, to his surprise, showed a bit of relief and delight.
Perhaps, from the bottom of his heart, the War God had never felt that Tang Yun was the kind of person who killed the innocent indiscriminately.
That was why, in the previous battle, Ye Qingtian had only been watching and had not made a move.
Otherwise, with Tang Yun's physical condition alone, she would not have been able to last until Ye Fan arrived.
However, in the face of Ye Qingtian's rhetorical question, Tang Yun was shaking her head.
"The death of those hundreds of thousands of people was not my doing, though."
"But there are some responsibilities that should be borne by oneself, even if they are not caused by oneself."
"This is what I, Tang Yun, owe to Yanxia."
"One day, I will make up for this debt."
Tang Yun's face was pale, and she did not even have much strength to speak.
The faint voice was like a wind chant.
However, Ye Qingtian could still hear her clearly.
However, he was somewhat unable to understand the meaning of this Tang Yun's words.
"What exactly do you mean?"
"There is a reason for injustice."
"Since you didn't do it, why do you owe it?"
"Also, you and Ye Fan, what exactly is your relationship?"
"Could it be that he is really one of your Chu Sect?"
Ye Qingtian had too many doubts.
Why would the titled Lord of the Chu Sect appear in the Yanxia Hinterland?
Moreover, he was also seriously injured.
Tang Yun was the number one powerhouse in the Heavenly Rankings, and Ye Qingtian had never been able to figure out what kind of person it was that could have seriously injured the Lord of the Chu Sect.
Otherwise, there was no need for Ye Fan to save him.
The majesty of the number one on the Heavenly Ranking was such that even if all six of their pillar states were present, they might not be able to stop it.
Also, Ye Fan clearly had a life-and-death feud with the Chu Family, one of the three families of the Chu Sect.
Yet today, why did he risk his life to save the Chu Clan's Sect Master. He even went so far as to break with the Yanxia Martial Dao and turn his back on his homeland?
What kind of delicate relationship did Ye Fan and Tang Yun have with each other?
"You can rest assured."
"There is no involvement between Ye Fan and the Chu Sect."
"As for ...."
Perhaps it was because of too much talking, halfway through, Tang Yun coughed violently again.
Crimson blood spilled out of the corners of her mouth along with a tremble of her delicate body.
