Chapter 284: Chapter 250: 【Getting Lost in Triumph, Who is the Real Winner?】

In Ye Fan’s memory, the only time the color of the Crimson Golden Crown deepened had happened once.

That time, he used his own Essence Blood as the Array Eye, setting up the Nine Star Gathering Spirit Array to heal the consciousness of Situ Ruoshui and Jin Ye. This summoned a massive amount of Heaven and Earth Primordial Qi. At the critical moment, the Crimson Golden Crown appeared, absorbing the Heaven and Earth Primordial Qi and feeding it back to him as Mind Power, allowing him to form a Metal Power Seed and become an Early Innate Mage. Meanwhile, the Crimson Golden Crown itself absorbed even more Heaven and Earth Primordial Qi, causing its color to deepen.

"It seems the Crimson Golden Crown can absorb Heaven and Earth Primordial Qi and grow autonomously, but it requires a large, high concentration of Heaven and Earth Primordial Qi."

"Last time, I used my own Essence Blood as the Array Eye, and the amount and concentration of the Heaven and Earth Primordial Qi drawn were much higher than a normal Nine Star Gathering Spirit Array. And just now, the transformation of Mind Power from the soul marks of Shi Feng and Shi Ling also seemed to foster growth in the Crimson Golden Crown. Why is that?"

"Their soul marks contained a lifetime’s memories, thoughts, Martial Arts Insight, and even the essence of Martial Arts. Could it be because their soul marks transformed their entire Martial Arts Cultivation into Mind Power, reaching the strength of a Peak Innate Mage’s Mind Power?"

Ye Fan thought wildly until, moved by a sudden thought, he hurriedly used a sensing stone on Shi Feng and Shi Ling and shockingly discovered that the Power within them had vanished without a trace.

"Uh..."

This discovery shocked Ye Fan so much that his mouth fell open, and his eyes bulged — he nearly jumped up from the ground!

According to Cultivation principles, the cultivation bases of Martial Arts and Magic are fundamentally not interchangeable!

If that were the case, Martial Artists could become Magicians and vice versa, and there would be no distinction between Martial Artists and Magicians in the Martial Arts World!

But if Shi Feng and Shi Ling had not transformed their entire Martial Arts Cultivation, their insight, and the essence of Martial Arts into Mind Power, then where had the Power within them gone?

Amid his shock, Ye Fan suddenly remembered the ’Shadowless Yin Demon Slash’ Martial Skill used by Shi Feng previously, which combined Martial Arts and Magic.

"Could it be that Martial Arts and Magic really are interconnected?"

Thinking of the miraculous and powerful ’Shadowless Yin Demon Slash,’ an idea surged in Ye Fan’s mind again.

This time.

He wasn’t frightened by the idea, but fell into deep thought.

"Xiao Fan!"

At the same time, seeing Ye Fan suddenly gaping and staring as if petrified, Chu Ji’s face changed in fright as she hurriedly called out to him.

"Uh..." Startled by Chu Ji’s shout, Ye Fan quickly came back to his senses, "I’m fine."

"I thought their soul marks had devoured you," said Chu Ji, letting out a sigh of relief and still shaken.

Ye Fan smiled and did not share his chaotic thoughts with Chu Ji. Instead, he steadied himself and again formed the handprints for the ’Puppetry Technique.’

As the handprints were formed, two currents of Mind Power shot out from Ye Fan’s Yintang point again, entering the Yintang points of Shi Feng and Shi Ling.

This time, Ye Fan encountered no resistance and easily took control of their bodies, making them sit up straight, like servants kneeling before their master.

Seeing this, Chu Ji knew that Ye Fan had successfully controlled the bodies of Shi Feng and Shi Ling. She quickly turned on the camera, aimed it at the two, and began recording their ’confession.’

Meanwhile.

In a two-story villa in the city government compound, Bai Luo had not gone to sleep.

In fact, since his fiancée, Guan Lin, had been targeted by Ye Fan for revenge, he had not slept at all.

In the study, the air was thick with smoke, which at first glance seemed like it was on fire.

In the smoke, one could faintly see Bai Luo, with red-rimmed eyes, sitting in front of his desk. The ashtray before him was crammed with cigarette butts, mostly smoked halfway,

"Snap—"

A slight sound was heard as Bai Luo lit another cigarette, took a drag, immediately feeling a bitter, numbing sensation in his mouth, nauseating him to the point of wanting to vomit. He then snuffed out the cigarette and muttered to himself, "Waiting like this is not a solution!"

As his words fell, Bai Luo pulled out the phone specially for contacting Chen Feilian— the SIM card was specially bought from the black market, not registered under his name.

"Young Master Chen, any news yet?" As soon as the call connected, Bai Luo asked impatiently.

"My people haven’t reported back yet."

On the other end, Chen Feilian, at Qinghong Villa, raised his wrist, checked the time and saw it was now two in the afternoon. Considering the twelve-hour time difference between the West Coast of the American Alliance and Huaxia, it was now two in the morning there.

This discovery made Chen Feilian raise an eyebrow—by all accounts, Shi Feng and Shi Ling should have taken action by now.

"Young Master Chen, there isn’t going to be a problem, right?"

Although Chen Feilian had repeatedly assured him there would be no issues, there was still no message at this hour. Coupled with the memory of Duanmu’s failed attempt at assassinating Ye Fan, Bai Luo asked anxiously.

"There shouldn’t be."

Chen Feilian harbored some doubts, but he thought about the strengths of the Shi Feng and Shi Ling brothers and felt it was unlikely for them to fail.

"So you mean they haven’t acted yet?"

Bai Luo was puzzled, "According to what you said, with their strength, not to mention assassinating, even a direct attack would be easy. Under such circumstances, it doesn’t make sense for them to wait until three or four in the morning to take action, does it?"

"I’ll contact them right now and get back to you later."

Although Chen Feilian believed the Shi Feng and Shi Ling brothers couldn’t possibly run into trouble, he found Bai Luo’s point reasonable. After thinking it over, he decided to proactively contact them.

"Alright, I’ll wait for your news." Since the purpose of Bai Luo’s call was to know the progress, he responded quickly upon hearing Chen Feilian’s words.

Chen Feilian didn’t waste any more words but ended the call and then took out a communicator, exclusively used by himself and the Black Dragon Guard, to contact Shi Feng and Shi Ling.

"Hum... Hum..."

Ao Xiang Villa, in the study of the villa where Ye Fan lived, after making Shi Feng and Shi Ling’s bodies finish the "confession", suddenly heard a faint vibration coming from Shi Feng’s body.

Noticing this, Ye Fan’s mind stirred and did not immediately retract the telekinetic control over Shi Feng’s body. Instead, he lifted Shi Feng’s wrist and saw a device resembling a wristwatch, from which the sound was emitted.

Realizing the situation, Ye Fan knew it was the most advanced communicator, requiring retinal scan verification, and quickly manipulated Shi Feng to align his eyes with the communicator.

"Beep..."

Shortly after, with a soft click, the call connected, and Chen Feilian, looking grim, appeared on the communicator’s screen.

"Young Master Chen."

Ye Fan, controlling Shi Feng’s body, spoke respectfully on his own accord.

"You haven’t taken action yet?" Chen Feilian frowned and asked.

"We have taken action. After we killed that kid, we just killed the three women with him, and we’re about to clean up the scene and leave," ’Shi Feng’ replied with reverence.

"I see."

Hearing ’Shi Feng’ say this, Chen Feilian privately heaved a sigh of relief and instructed, "After you leave the scene, immediately leave dong hai and head to Minnan Province, take a smuggling ship back to the American Alliance."

"Yes, Young Master Chen!"

’Shi Feng’ responded instantly, then the screen flickered, Chen Feilian’s face disappeared, and the call ended.

Seeing this, Ye Fan immediately retracted his telekinesis, Shi Feng’s body fell powerless to the wooden floor with a dull thud.

"Why didn’t you tell him the truth?" Chu Ji asked somewhat puzzled, seeing it as a rare opportunity for Ye Fan to strike at Chen Feilian.

"Gaining verbal advantage is meaningless; I’ll settle this account with him slowly in the future."

Ye Fan narrowed his eyes, a cold light flashing within, "The main target now is Bai Luo—I want to make Bai Luo think he has succeeded, just to kick him into the abyss at the last moment, letting him despair completely!"

"So that’s it."

Chu Ji suddenly realized, well aware as the ’Demon Queen,’ that such a method would mean a fall from heaven to hell for Bai Luo, completely destroying his mental will and truly ensuring Bai Luo never recovers!

...

Across the ocean, in Los Angeles, within Chen Feilian’s study in Qinghong Villa.

"Bastard, you should feel lucky you mistakenly crippled the heir of my mother, otherwise I wouldn’t let you die so comfortably." After ending the call with ’Shi Feng’, Chen Feilian sneered, then took out his phone to call Bai Luo.

"Young Master Chen, any news?" As the call connected, Bai Luo asked eagerly.

"Hmm."

Chen Feilian smiled, "I just contacted my men; they’ve completed their mission, sending that bastard and his women straight to Yama Palace!"

"Uh..."

Bai Luo, anxious, heard this news and was momentarily stunned, then like drinking a can of ice-cold beer in the height of summer, felt exhilarated from head to toe, excitedly spoke, "Thank you, Young Master Chen!"

"Thanks are unnecessary, just don’t forget your promise, Lord Bai."

Chen Feilian smiled lightly, killing Ye Fan seemed as easy as squashing an ant, "That bastard was just a jumping grasshopper, our common goal should be to bring down Ye Wenhao and cause the downfall of the entire Ye Family."

"Please rest assured, Young Master Chen, I will definitely give you a satisfactory answer," Bai Luo said with a laugh.

"Good, I look forward to the day we can rejoice over drinks as brothers," Chen Feilian smiled, his tone towards Bai Luo had changed.

Although, as a martial arts prodigy, he didn’t really respect Bai Luo, he knew with the Yanhuang Organization and various strong people in the Huaxia Martial Arts World, his father Chen Daozang wanting to bring down the Ye Family must leverage the power of the Bai Family.

"I look forward to that day too," Bai Luo’s smile brightened, "I believe that day will come very soon!"

"Heh, I wish you a good night’s sleep, Brother Bai," Chen Feilian chuckled, planning to end the call.

"Goodbye."

Bai Luo said, hanging up the phone, revealing a smile unique to victors, "Ye Family’s bastard, I admit, the kneel-down incident and Guan Lin’s matter have left me disgraced, but what’s the use? To me, as long as I’m alive, lost dignity can be regained, women can be replaced, while you and those cheap wretches around you can only serve as miserable couples in the underworld!"

"Haha... hahahaha... hahahahaha..."

By the end, Bai Luo clenched his fists, laughing hysterically like a madman losing his mind.

At that moment.

He forgot one saying.

The one who laughs last is the true winner!

PS: Sorry, got a bit chaotic with multitasking. After uploading the first Chapter tonight, I didn’t immediately publish and went to write the second Chapter, my bad.

Releasing two Chapters in succession, deeply apologize.
