A Dish Best Served Cold Chapter 1618

 Hoo~


        A cold wind, wrapped in a curtain of rain, swept through the whole world.


        In the depths of the dark night, as that figure drew nearer, an invisible majesty descended upon the place like an ocean storm.


        Ke Che and Yan Bu Ping froze instantly.


        An unparalleled gloom immediately appeared on their foreheads.


        "Yan... Elder Yan, that... Who is that?"


        One old man, with a terrified face, asked in a low voice.


        Yan Bu Ping was silent, but his old eyes were staring deadly at the figure in front of him.


        For some reason, the moment he saw this man, Yan Bu Ping felt a huge mountain pressing down on his heart.


        Even breathing felt heavy and depressing.


        Even Yan Bu Ping was like this, not to mention Li Er, Lei Lao San and other such worldly people.


        The immense oppression was so great that it nearly suffocated them.


        "What a powerful oppression."


        "This feeling, could it be ...."


        Thinking of this, Li Er in the middle of the crowd jerked his head up, his old eyes suddenly tightened, and his entire body almost jumped up because of the excitement.


        "Lao Er, are you saying ...."


        Seeing the appearance of Li Er, Lei Lao San and Wang Jie Xi at the side also realized something instantly.


        The entire person was also flabbergasted, and their old eyes, too, instantly widened.


        Not only them, at this moment, Xu Lei and the others also seemed to have a feeling in their hearts, and their beautiful eyes looked ahead with surprise and anticipation.


        Even He Yurou, who had been standing silently watching from the river's edge, saw waves rise up within her originally calm heart.


        She stood on tiptoe and opened her eyes wide to look away, trying desperately to see the man's face through the darkness.


        "Could it be him?"


        "I think it's him."


        "It must be~"


        He Yurou didn't know why she was so excited about him again, let alone why she was so excited.


        Obviously, she and that young man were not even friends, and they had almost nothing to do with each other.


        However, at this moment, He Yurou was still hoping that the boy would come as expected!


        For a while, many people on the shores of Lake of Clouds and Mist were already nervous, holding their breath in excitement.


        It was clear that no one could see the face of that figure, but in the minds of many people, the clear face of a young boy had involuntarily emerged.


        "It's broad daylight, the sky is clear, who's fooling around there."


        "Quickly report your name!"


        While everyone was waiting, Ke Che was frowning and shouting angrily at the figure in the depths of the dark night.


        One second~


        Two seconds~


        Ten seconds passed, but no one responded.


        All there was was the sound of the rain filling the sky and the trembling footsteps.


        It was only when Ke Che could not wait and was ready to ask again in a stern voice that a faint voice rang out quietly in this rainy night.


        "Jiangdong, Ye Fan."


        Boom~


        There were only a few words, but each word was a thousand words.


        Especially when the word Ye Fan fell, it was like thunder exploding here.


        Yan Bu Ping's body trembled, Ke Che's eyes widened, and the five great masters of Yan Xia were all astonished.


        As for Qiu Mu Orange, who was captured by Ke Che, her body trembled and her beautiful eyes turned red.


        "Haha~"


        "Mr. Chu!"


        "It's Mr. Chu."


        "Mr. Chu is here."


        "The emperor of our Jiangdong, has returned~"


        "Quickly~"


        "Those belonging to Yunzhou, follow me to worship Mr. Chu!"


        Some rejoiced and some were sad.


        While Yan Bu Ping's face was ashen, Li Er was as mad as a madman, shouting as he rushed over to the dark figure in the night and fell back to pay his respects.


        "Li Er of Yunzhou, welcome Mr. Chu~"


        It was as if a huge stone had fallen into the sea, raising a thousand layers of waves.


        As Li Er took the lead, Lei Lao San and Wang Jie Xi and the others naturally did not lag behind and went forward to pay their respects.


        "Jingzhou Lei Laosan~"


        .......


        "Jianghai Wang Jiexi~"


        "Greetings to Mr. Chu!"


        .......


        The voices that rushed to the heavens gathered into a stream, striking this heaven and earth.


        Looking at nearly a hundred people kneeling in unison, listening to the overwhelming waves of worship, Yan Buping's face became more and more pale, his face ashen!


        "Elder Yan, what... What should we do?"


        "I... We, should we run?"


        What they had feared most had happened.


        Originally, they thought that they would not meet Ye Fan head on this time to take someone.


        But who would have thought that in the end, that teenager, still appeared.


        For a while, Yan Bu Ping and the others naturally had a bit of a hard time riding the tiger.


        "What's the panic?"


        "Behind us is the Martial God Hall, the Fist Emperor, the Sword Saint, and the Yanxia War God."


        "No matter how powerful that Ye Fan is, does he still dare to turn over the heavens?"


        "What's more, we are five great masters, why would we fear a junior like him?"


        Before Yan Bu Ping could reply, Ke Che coldly snorted and forcefully replied.


        "But don't forget, even though that Ye Fan is young, he is still a Sealed Patriarch after all."


        "Do you, in fact, still want to fight hard against a Sealed Sovereign?"


        An old man next to him asked Ke Che with a slight sense of trepidation.


        All along, the Sealed Sovereign had been a near-idol-like existence in the martial arts world.


        Even if Yan Bu Ping was number one on the Sovereign Ranking, he had never thought of fighting hard against a Sealed Sovereign.


        It was not that he had never tried, it was that he did not even dare to think about it.


        To Yan Bu Ping and the others, the title represented invincibility and the highest realm of the martial arts.


        When they saw the six pillar states of the Martial Hall, they respected and feared them, and had never thought of fighting them.


        Now that Ke Che had even threatened to say that he was not afraid of Ye Fan, they naturally felt a little terrified.


        "What sect master?"


        "It's still uncertain if he has a real seal or a fake one?"


        "They all say he has the power of a seal, but which of you few have seen his true power."


        "Moreover, if he really had the power of sealing, why didn't the Sword Saints and the others hold a sealing ceremony for him and officially enthrone him?"


        "Back then, this Peerless Seal was nothing more than a posthumous seal."


        "I reckon that this Ye Fan's strength, even if he is really stronger than us, is not much stronger."


        "Martial Dao cultivation is not something that happens overnight."


        "This junior is just over twenty years old, unless he started cultivating from his mother's womb, then it is impossible for him to really reach the Seal Realm!"


        Ke Che spoke in a cold voice.


        Ke Che was suspicious of Ye Fan's strength from the start.


        At the beginning, Ye Fan's seal status was truly exposed to the world after the Battle of the Amazon.


        At that time, the War God and the others all thought that Ye Fan had fallen, and after they had no more scruples, they made public Ye Fan's identity of the Peerless Seal.


        But this matter, which fell in the eyes of the people, was rather like an honorary title, awarded posthumously after death, which simply did not live up to its name.


        "But what about the Battle of Jiangbei?"


        "That Ye Fan had stepped on the Lu family."


        "Lu Songliang was nailed to death by his sword on top of a stone pillar."


        "This matter is well known to everyone, Ye Fan's strength, can there still be a fake?" Another Patriarch asked rhetorically.


        "That Lu Songliang, he was ranked at the bottom of the Patriarch Ranking before."


        "After a few years of seclusion, he said that he had broken through the seal, who has seen it?"


        "So, the battle in Jiangbei can't prove anything at all."


        "The only thing it proves is that you, Ye Fan, might indeed be a little stronger than a Patriarch."


        "But don't you forget that back then, in Jiangbei, there was only Lu Songliang alone."


        "Whereas now, we have five great patriarchs!" Ke Che spoke in a deep voice.


        The rest of them seemed to be convinced by him, and were actually speechless, and some even nodded their heads, indicating that what Ke Che said was extremely reasonable.


        After Ke Che's enlightenment, the fear they had in their hearts towards Ye Fan had actually faded by several points.


        "Alright, let's not talk about that for now."


        "Let's try not to clash if we can." With a hammer blow, Yan Bu Ping gave the crowd a direct statement.


        Afterwards, Yan Bu Ping then raised his head to look ahead and said in a deep voice, "You are the Peerless Seal?"


        "Perfect timing to come."


        "It also saves us from having to look for you."


        "We have been ordered by the Martial God Hall to come and convey to you the Martial God Hall's order of punishment for you!"
