NOVEL WEB Chapter 762: Should I Become a Bootlicker Too?
In the darkness, the Wu Family Ancestor frowned as he pondered Wu Jinchuan's words, remaining silent for a long time.
In fact, at the Wu Family Ancestor's level of cultivation, the concept of family allegiance was not as strong as before.
The reason he still utilized his influence to intimidate the Wu Family's enemies and protect the Wu Family was simply because the family could continuously provide him with cultivation resources.
The Wu Family Ancestor had already broken through to the strength of a Fifth Grade Martial Saint. What he craved was an opportunity to participate in the Ancient Martial Immortal Sect's assembly, hoping to catch the eye of a major figure from the Immortal Domain, and then enter the Immortal Domain, pursuing greater strength and a longer life!
As for everything else, it was all insignificant.
Buzz!
Just as the Wu Family Ancestor hesitated, a secure phone on his person rang.
That phone was given to him by Prince Jin years ago.
After glancing at the text message, the Wu Family Ancestor no longer hesitated and spoke with a deep voice, "Understood! I'll head to the Hua Family banquet immediately and take out Fan Ye... No one is allowed to bully the sons of the Wu Family!"
The message the Wu Family Ancestor had just received was from Prince Jin's Mansion.
It was a simple message, instructing them to take out Fan Ye.
Whoever managed to kill Fan Ye would be recommended for a spot at the Immortal Gate assembly by Prince Jin's side, and would also get introduced to a bigwig from the Immortal Domain.
Though the Wu Family Ancestor spoke with apparent moral righteousness, in reality, it was all in consideration of his own interests.
The reason why the Wu Family Ancestor's strength had improved so rapidly was indeed thanks to some favors from Prince Jin in the past... and the reason he continued to maintain contact with Prince Jin was because behind Prince Jin, there was the support of a major figure from the Immortal Domain.
Those Martial Saint ancestors agreed to Prince Jin's orders, actually wanting to use Prince Jin to connect with the Immortal Domain's bigwig!
Boom!
Before Wu Jinchuan could even appreciate the gesture, a fierce Qi Force erupted skyward as the Wu Family Ancestor soared into the air, swiftly flashing towards the Hua Family banquet.
The Wu Family Ancestor had strived for a spot at the Immortal Gate assembly for hundreds of years!
But due to his mediocre talent and inability to obtain the Immortal Path Guide or a recommendation spot, he couldn't participate in the Immortal Gate assembly despite having entered the Martial Saint Realm.
This time I must seize the opportunity!
Watching the Ancestor take action, Wu Jinchuan wiped the trace of blood from the corner of his mouth and muttered, "Fan Ye, this time you should finally die, right? Hmph! The Ling Family dogs, after Ye Fan's death you should have behaved, but you're still relying on another Fan Ye, thinking you can rise from the ashes? Dream on!"
"All of the Wu Family who wish to join, follow me to enjoy the show!"
Wu Jinchuan believed that with the Wu Family Ancestor taking action, today's Hua Family business banquet would be a joke.
Fan Ye was surely fated to die, and the Ling Family was doomed to ruin!
And the Hua Family's elixir manufacturing project could only be taken over by the Wu Family!
By then, the Wu Family would become the number one supreme family in Great Xia!
Such an elevating moment necessitated the presence of the Wu Family's core members to show face!
What they didn't know, however, was that by taking such action, they were simply delivering their own heads.
A mere Fifth Grade Martial Saint daring to act recklessly in front of Ye Fan, an Eighth Grade Martial Saint prodigy, wasn't that a joke? Moreover, Ye Fan possessed so many absurdly powerful Martial Techniques!
…
In the Capital, at the parking lot behind Guotai Hotel!
Ye Fan snapped out of his reverie and stepped towards the Hua Family banquet hall.
Prince Jin's list even included some big shots in the military martial arts field, and one of the families had previously had a good relationship with the Ye Family.
Ye Fan hesitated in his heart. Such a family, should he give them a chance?
Sigh!
Let's just wait and see!
Right after Ye Fan entered the hall, Yan Ruyu silently emerged from the shadows next to the parking lot, her lips curling slightly, "Impressive indeed! With only the strength of a Grade Eight Martial Saint, his combat power is so heaven-defying, especially that miraculous flame. If I hadn't dodged, I would probably have been burned to nothing!"
"Based on the fluctuations of that flame, could it be that this Fan Ye is the person who those big shots in the Immortal Domain are looking for?"
Luckily!
Luckily, I met Fan Ye one step ahead!
If necessary, should I humble myself to curry favor with him?
A look of strange colors flashed in Yan Ruyu's eyes as her eyebrows twitched and her thoughts wandered.
...
In the Hua Family's business banquet hall, after Hua Xueyan and Hua Taikang met, they learned that Ye Fan had darted to the backyard!
Although they knew they couldn't be of much help, Ye Fan was, after all, exerting himself for the Hua Family's banquet, thus they, along with some legitimate-line bodyguards of the Hua Family, also quickly made their way to the backyard!
Just now, the powerful oppression felt in the hall was palpable to both Hua Taikang and Hua Xueyan!
"That must have been the arrival of a Martial Saint level expert... It seems that Prince Jin is still making his move..." Hua Taikang instructed Hua Xueyan as they walked, "If a fight breaks out later, don't get too close. If there's danger, retreat immediately! I'll cover the retreat..."
"Alas! I just don't know if Young Master Fan can hold on..."
Although Hua Taikang had killed Wu Hai in the hall, stating the Hua Family's stance and planning to cling to the golden thigh that was Fan Ye.
But the arrival of this supreme Martial Saint expert left Hua Taikang feeling somewhat helpless.
The Hua Family, as an elixir medicine family, had originally held a very revered status among the ancient martial families.
However, with the Nangong Family encountering trouble, the Hua Family lost a powerful support. With a pitifully small number of Martial Saint experts within the family itself, their status among ancient martial families was gradually weakening!
The arrival of a Martial Saint level expert was a fatal threat to the Hua Family!
"Ah? Xueyan, your strength... have broken through to the Martial Emperor level... what's going on?" Hua Taikang was too preoccupied with assisting Fan Ye earlier to notice.
But now, as he focused on Hua Xueyan, he realized that the martial arts Qi flowing through her had reached the Second Grade Martial Emperor Realm?
She was hardly weaker than Hua Taikang?
How much time had passed?
Hua Xueyan had only been in the changing room with Fan Ye for about ten minutes, right?
Could it be that a lot had happened in those ten minutes that he was unaware of? Was it Ye Fan who had enabled Hua Xueyan's strength to advance once more?
"Yes! I've broken through... it's thanks to Ye Fan... If this continues, I believe, it won't be long before I can even break through to the Martial Saint Realm! Granduncle, this time our choice to side with Fan Ye was definitely right! Later at the business banquet, I want to announce something..."
Hua Xueyan looked at Hua Taikang, and although she did not say it out loud, her eyes already conveyed what she wanted to say.
"Announce, by all means announce! I support you. Even if the entire Hua Family has to be your dowry, I support it... I believe, your father wouldn't oppose it either..." Hua Taikang spoke as his gaze caught sight of Ye Fan gracefully darting over from the parking lot!
He was clean, his clothes spotless, with not even a hint of injury!
Was the fight already over?
Was that Martial Saint expert just left unchallenged?
