Chapter 691: Chapter 613 Cleaning Up the House

PS: There was a small bug in the first two Chapters, in the Qingbang competition where Ye Fan beat Emperor Bai, the odds were 1:5. Du Sect should have paid Lv Zhan 50,000 Essence Stones, which has been corrected.

Divine List.

This is the most authoritative list in the Cultivation World, with a hundred cultivators from the Six Major Alliances, essentially representing the strongest forces of the Earth’s cultivation circles.

Hidden God List.

This list is specifically set up for the younger generation in the Earth’s cultivation realm, implying a ranking of young geniuses with the potential to enter the Hidden God List.

Unlike the Divine List, the Hidden God List only has ten slots, and the ranking must be determined through the Hidden God List competition, which changes every ten years, making the competition even fiercer than that of the Divine List.

Ye Fan had heard about this list but had never delved into it. Today, after listening to Yan’s explanation, he understood the significance and prestige of this list.

It can be said without exaggeration that there isn’t a single force that does not care about this list!

Every session of the Hidden God List competition, all major powers send their geniuses to compete for a ranking on this list.

First on the Hidden God List!

Invincible in the same generation!

This was the first goal Yan set for Ye Fan and the first step of a long journey.

In Yan’s words, if Ye Fan couldn’t even achieve this, then there was no point in dreaming of catching up to the older generation of cultivators, including himself, and becoming the first person to break through that legendary realm!

If so, Ye Fan’s ambition to eradicate the Qinghong Organization would be nothing more than a fool’s dream!

"According to Master Yan, the other Five Great Alliances possess many ancient families and powers. These forces are deep wells of hidden dragons and crouching tigers, abundant with strong individuals and cultivating geniuses," said Ye Fan as he drove away from the Yanhuang Organization headquarters, muttering to himself, "With my current strength, although I do not fear my peers, achieving invincibility in my generation still requires effort. Moreover, this is just a new beginning for me!"

As he finished speaking, Ye Fan’s heart firmed up with resolution. After today’s gathering, he would immediately go into seclusion, first using the 25,000 Essence Stones provided by Lv Zhan to break through to the Half-step Gang Qi Realm.

After sketching out a rough cultivation plan in his mind, Ye Fan had driven to the front of the Yanhuang Organization headquarters. Realizing where he was, he smiled at the external member of the Yanhuang Organization guarding the gate, then floored the accelerator, rushing to the gathering venue.

Tonight’s gathering was initiated by Ye Fan, but all the arrangements and the venue were managed by Chu Ji.

The venue was a private club called Mingmen Club, located just a street away from the famous Hong Ding Club.

At seven o’clock, as night fell and neon lights lit up, the usually car-packed parking lot of Mingmen Club was desolate, with just two Rolls-Royce Phantoms parked, one of which was Chu Ji’s drive.

Besides that, the entire club seemed very quiet, with only the service staff, Ye Fan, Chu Ji, and a few others present.

Tonight, the Mingmen Club was closed for a private event!

"Brother Ye, honestly, I sometimes think being an ordinary person isn’t so bad, no need for cultivation, no need for fighting, drunk on wine every day, a girl to sleep with every night."

In the top floor lounge of the club, Lv Zhan, clad in a Martial Arts Uniform, held a cocktail, standing in front of a floor-to-ceiling window gazing at the brightly lit night scene, lamenting.

"Brother Zhan, cultivators can also be drunk on wine every day and have a girl to sleep with every night. If you want a threesome, I can satisfy that too—whether it’s lolis, mature ladies, or young widows, model stars, none of them are a problem!" Su Jindi said, his breath reeking of alcohol, and to add emphasis, he slapped his chest loudly, "Shall I call some for you later?"

"Aiyo..."

As Su Jindi finished speaking, before Lv Zhan could respond, Su Yuxin walked up behind him, grabbing Su Jindi’s ear, causing him to wince in pain.

"Sister Yu Xin, I think Su Jindi is becoming more and more outrageous. He definitely needs to be disciplined properly!"

Seizing the opportunity to kick him while he was down, ever since Su Liuli met with people including Su Yuxin, she had returned to her former self, far from any semblance of sainthood or nobility.

"Su Liuli, what grudge do I have against you?" Su Jindi said, fuming.

"A big grudge, a big resentment!"

With a snort, Su Liuli stepped forward and grabbed Su Jindi’s other ear.

"Brother Ye Fan, save me!"

Caught between the two, Su Jindi could only seek help from Ye Fan.

Ye Fan, seeing the situation, smiled knowingly, just about to say something, noticed Chu Ji holding a drink alone at the end of the lounge, staring at the distant skyline, lost in thought.

"Auntie, what are you thinking about?"

Ye Fan quietly walked up to Chu Ji, and like her, gazed at the distant skyline, casually asking.

"You know everything, don’t you?" Chu Ji came back to her senses, looking at Ye Fan with a complex expression.

"Yes."

Ye Fan nodded, wanting to say something but not knowing what to say.

"Do you think I’ve lived a failed life?"

Chu Ji laughed at herself, "The most important person in my life has now become the person I hate the most. In order to oppose him, and eradicate the Qinghong Organization, I left my master in anger years ago and set up my own power. In the end, I realized that all my actions seemed laughably trivial in his eyes, and couldn’t pose any threat to him."

"Auntie..."

Ye Fan pursed his lips, struggling for words.

However—

Before he could continue, Chu Ji cut him off, "Your master and I have kept these things from you to prevent you from being prematurely blinded by hatred, and carrying a burden too great. Such feelings would cast a shadow over your life and hinder your cultivation."

"I understand."

Ye Fan nodded, understanding Chu Xuanji and Chu Ji’s good intentions.

"Xiao Fan, do you know why your master has purposefully suppressed your realm and tempered your mental state since you were young?" Chu Ji suddenly asked.

"To lay a solid foundation for my cultivation," Ye Fan thought for a moment before responding.

"Yes, but also no."

Chu Ji made a startling statement, "Yes, because Master indeed wants you to solidify your cultivation foundation so that in the future you can accumulate and break through, striving to become the first person to breach that legendary realm. No, because ultimately, Master’s objective is for you to help him deal with Chen Daozang!"

On one hand, Master believes that Chen Daozang’s cultivation talent is simply too strong. Combined with his careful and enduring disposition, including Master Yan, it’s difficult for others to eliminate him. However, you have shown remarkable talents from a young age, and it’s very likely that you have practiced the special Cultivation Technique left by Sister Ling Yun. He has high hopes for you, believing you have the potential to catch up to Chen Daozang on the path of cultivation, even possibly becoming the first person in the modern Cultivation World to breach that legendary realm!"

"So that’s why, no wonder when I was a child and practiced other Cultivation Techniques, neither you nor Master were surprised."

Ye Fan suddenly realized and finally understood that Chu Xuanji and Chu Ji hadn’t been without suspicion as to why he could learn meditation and cultivate at an astonishingly fast rate all by himself.

"On the other hand, deep down, Master doesn’t wish for Chen Daozang to die by the hands of an outsider, but rather wants to cleanse our own house!" Chu Ji gently nodded, admitting this point, then spoke again to add.

"Don’t worry, aunt, one day, I will personally behead Chen Daozang to appease the spirit of my mother in heaven!" Ye Fan clenched his fists tightly, his expression resolute.

"Mm."

Chu Ji sighed softly, then seeing Su Yuxin and others watching them, she forced a strained smile and said, "Let’s go over too."

As the words fell, Chu Ji tilted her head back and downed the red wine in her glass in one gulp, then adjusted her emotions and resumed her killer and irresistible smile, walking towards Su Yuxin and others with Ye Fan.

"Brother Ye, you’re aware of the Hidden God List, right?"

As Ye Fan and Chu Ji approached, Lv Zhan suddenly spoke.

"I had only heard of it before, but today I truly understand," Ye Fan said and then asked, "Are you participating in the Hidden God List competition?"

"Mm."

Lv Zhan nodded and said, "According to the old rules, if the Qing bang competition and the Hidden God List competition occur in the same year, the Hua Xia Cultivation World will send the top ten contestants from the Qing bang to compete. That means both you and I will have to participate."

"Master Yan told me he wants me to lead the young geniuses of the Hua Xia Cultivation World in the competition," Ye Fan did not hide this fact.

"I plan to return to the Lv Family tonight, enter closed-door cultivation, and strive to break through to the Gang Qi Introduction Realm by the end of the year!"

Lv Zhan said each word clearly, his expression no longer frivolous, but extremely serious, "If I can break through to the Gang Qi Introduction Realm before the competition, even if I’m not your match, I won’t disgrace the Lv Family and the Hua Xia Cultivation World."

"Go for it!"

Ye Fan patted Lv Zhan’s shoulder to encourage him

"You too, see you at the Hidden God List competition!"

With that, Lv Zhan tilted his head back, downed the cocktail in his glass, put down the glass, and strode away.

Seeing Lv Zhan leave, including Su Jindi who loved to play tricks and cause trouble, no one stopped him.

"I should be going too."

Once Lv Zhan’s figure had disappeared from everyone’s sight, Su Liuli breathed a soft sigh and her gaze swept over Situ Ruoshui, Su Jindi, and Su Yuxin in turn, finally resting on Ye Fan.

"Sister Liuli, can’t you stay?"

"Su Liuli, why are you leaving? At worst I’ll just yield to you more in the future, let you bully me enough!"

"Liu Li, you can also cultivate here, why leave?"

Situ Ruoshui, Su Jindi, and Su Yuxin spoke one after another, all with urgent expressions.

"Although secluded cultivation is important, experiencing the world through travel is indispensable. Make sure to come back home often."

Ye Fan also spoke, having known back at Mount Tian that Su Liuli was determined to leave, he didn’t try to dissuade her.

"Although you have broken the age-old rule and eliminated a practitioner in the entry-level Gang Qi realm, you must continue to strive," Su Liuli responded playfully, feigning lightness as she teased, "Otherwise, once I receive all of Master’s teachings, ten of you wouldn’t stand a chance against me."

"Are you participating in the Hidden God List competition?"

For some reason, seeing Su Liuli’s feigned casual demeanor, a pang of pain touched Ye Fan’s heart, and he asked inadvertently.

"Master will probably have me participate."

Su Liuli’s heart stirred, a glimmer of anticipation flashing through her eyes, longing for another reunion with Ye Fan.

"I’ll be waiting."

Ye Fan blurted out involuntarily, the words carrying a double meaning.

Su Liuli’s body trembled slightly, no longer lingering, she turned and left.

As she turned, tears blurred her vision, slowly sliding down her charming cheeks.

She cried.

During the farewell, Su Liuli cried once more.

Just like the last time she left without saying goodbye.

Only—

This time, she cried with a smile.

This time, the tears were no longer bitter.

Just because of Ye Fan’s words: "I’ll be waiting!"
