Chapter 726: Chapter 645: Overturning the Japan Cultivation World! Six

After noon, the weather changed from clear to overcast. Dark clouds covered the sun, and strong winds began to blow as if a storm was about to arrive.

Ao Xiang Villa’s sky was overshadowed by a huge black cloud, its shadow engulfing the villa and filling the once quiet place with an oppressive atmosphere.

"Causing more trouble than help, I told you not to go to Japan but you wouldn’t listen. Now look what’s happened, Ye Fan is being hunted by all the strong people of the Japan Cultivation World, his life and death unknown!"

Inside one of the villas at Ao Xiang Villa, Su Yuxin lashed out at Su Jindi who had just arrived home.

In the past year, since Su Jindi had met Ye Fan, he had improved a lot and rarely caused trouble. Su Yuxin had almost never had to lecture him.

This was the first time!

All of this was because Su Yuxin had learned of Ye Fan’s current situation and was burning with anxiety.

"I didn’t expect things to turn out this way..."

Even though Su Jindi knew that a large part of the chaos Ye Fan caused in the Japan Cultivation World was due to the death of Xu Biao’s daughter, Xu Ying, he didn’t make excuses. Instead, he wore a face full of self-blame and confidently added, "But I believe Brother Ye Fan will definitely be able to escape unscathed from the Little Japan’s manhunt and come back alive!"

"You..."

Su Yuxin trembled with anger, but didn’t know what to say.

Deep down, she too hoped for Ye Fan to come back alive, but according to the information she had, the current situation was such that all the strong people of the Japan Cultivation World had mobilized, setting up a Heaven and Earth Net, virtually cutting off any hope for Ye Fan’s escape.

"Sis, think about it, when has Brother Ye Fan ever done something he wasn’t sure about since we met him?"

Su Jindi spoke again, still blindly trusting in Ye Fan, "Since Brother Ye Fan dared to cause such a ruckus in the Japan Cultivation World and destroy the Jingguo Shrine, he must have planned his next moves and is confident in his escape!"

"Ah... I hope he’s safe and sound."

Su Yuxin sighed softly, initially wanting to take out her phone and contact Chu Ji to ask for the latest news on Ye Fan, but then she thought that if Chu Ji had any news, she would inform her immediately, so she abandoned the idea.

At the same time, Chu Ji in Yanjing’s Courtyard met with Ye Wenhao.

Anxiety often leads to chaos.

Although Ye Wenhao had been designated as the next Chief Elder, destined to stand at the pinnacle of the power pyramid, knowing everything Ye Fan had done in Japan and his current situation meant he couldn’t remain as composed as Mount Taishan, his brows deeply furrowed with worry as he walked through the door, unable to hide his anxiety.

"Ji, how long will it take you at the least to find Master Chu?"

Upon entering the Courtyard, Ye Wenhao didn’t exchange any pleasantries with Chu Ji. Instead, he got straight to the point, wanting Chu Ji to find Chu Xuanji to rescue Ye Fan in Japan.

"Master has returned to Spirit Mountain to meditate. I am not quite sure where exactly he is, so it would take at least a day to find him," Chu Ji, also very worried about Ye Fan’s safety, thought for a moment before giving her reply.

"One day."

Ye Wenhao’s expression became grave, and he fell silent.

He was fully aware of the current situation and knew that every minute Ye Fan stayed in Japan, his danger increased. After a day, no one could predict what might happen.

"I think instead of going out of our way to find Master, you should approach Master Yan," Chu Ji suggested when she saw Ye Wenhao remain silent. "On one hand, Master is healing in seclusion and might be harmed if he is disturbed. On the other hand, if Master Yan is willing to help, he could reach Japan in the shortest time and ensure Xiao Fan’s safety to the greatest extent."

"You should know that Xiao Fan has angered all the Japanese with his actions, and the situation has reached the point of no return. If Master Yan intervenes, it will certainly escalate to an Alliance matter, and there is a chance it may lead to a war between the American Alliance and Huaxia," Ye Wenhao frowned and said.

"Hey, look at you, ready to take over and starting to consider the bigger picture for Huaxia," Chu Ji said with a raised eyebrow and a hint of sarcasm.

"Ji, you..." Ye Wenhao’s complexion changed with Chu Ji’s sting and he sighed, "I’ve said before that I owe Ling Yun and Xiao Fan. If I could ensure their safety for life, I would pay any price! Those words I said earlier weren’t because I don’t want to find Master Yan, but because I think Master Yan won’t help."

This time, it was Chu Ji’s turn to fall silent.

She too was aware of the grim fact Ye Wenhao stated.

While Yan did take care of Ye Fan, he would never compromise Huaxia’s interests to save him!

"Although there’s little chance that Master Yan will act, what you said is indeed correct. I have to visit him. I’ll go to him now and plead for his intervention," Ye Wenhao concluded after some thought.

"Good, let’s divide our forces. I’ll head back to Spirit Mountain to find Master now," Chu Ji nodded, and then sighed, "Regardless of whether Master has finished his healing, I must inform him. If something truly happens to Xiao Fan, I wouldn’t be able to explain it to him, and he would neither forgive me nor live without regret."

"Mhm."

Ye Wenhao nodded.

The reason he had asked Chu Ji to find Chu Xuanji earlier was because he knew Chu Xuanji cared for Ye Fan just as much as he did—Chu Xuanji, like him, was willing to give everything for Ye Fan!

"We shouldn’t delay. Let’s set off right away and keep each other informed immediately if anything happens," Chu Ji, despite being a woman, was decisive and firm in her actions, never hesitating or dragging her feet. Having reached an agreement with Ye Wenhao, she prepared to set off for Spirit Mountain to seek out Chu Xuanji.

"In that case, I will contact them and ask the Yanjing Military District to send a fighter jet to take you there," Ye Wenhao added.

"Aren’t you afraid this will affect your political career?"

Chu Ji deliberately provoked him but understood in her heart that if it could ensure Ye Fan’s safety, Ye Wenhao would be willing to give up his position as the successor, let alone making such a move.

Facing Chu Ji’s provocation again, Ye Wenhao did not waste any more words but took out his personal phone to start contacting the big shots at the Yanjing Military District.

Five minutes later, Ye Wenhao and Chu Ji left the Courtyard together, splitting up to find Yan and Chu Xuanji, respectively.

Since Yan hardly ever visited the Yanhuang Organization headquarters and his whereabouts were quite elusive, Ye Wenhao made a call to He Yunting, the head of the Outer Sect Elders responsible for the daily operations of the Yanhuang Organization, as soon as he got into the car.

"Hello, Elder He, this is Ye Wenhao." As soon as the call connected, Ye Wenhao was quick to introduce himself.

"You’re looking for the leader concerning your son’s matter, aren’t you?" On the other end of the line, He Yunting’s mind was clear as a mirror.

"Yes."

Ye Wenhao did not hide anything but pleaded, "I hope Elder He can help me pass on a message to Master Yan. I wish to see him."

"I can pass on the message. But whether the leader will see you or not is not up to me."

He Yunting readily agreed to Ye Wenhao’s request but quickly added a reminder, "Also, Wenhao, you should be aware of the seriousness of this matter. Not to discourage you, but the chances that the leader will take action to save your son are almost non-existent."

"Thank you."

Upon hearing this, Ye Wenhao politely thanked him, yet his heart sank.

Half an hour later, Ye Wenhao got his wish and met Yan in the top-floor office of the Yanhuang Organization headquarters.

"Master Yan, whether by the organization’s principles or considering the overall situation, I shouldn’t have come to you," Ye Wenhao immediately bowed and said with guilt, "but I didn’t want to stand by and watch Xiao Fan get into trouble, so..."

"If you’ve come to me, I naturally understand your intentions," Yan interrupted Ye Wenhao straightforwardly and said, "I’m sorry, Wenhao, neither I nor the Yanhuang Organization will go to Japan to save Xiao Fan."

"——"

Ye Wenhao’s mouth opened slightly, his Adam’s apple moved, but he did not speak a word.

Although he had realized before coming that the chances of Yan taking action were almost non-existent, he was still very disappointed to hear Yan say it.

"As you said, from an overall perspective, I can only make such a decision," Yan stated frankly, without any concealment.

"I understand."

Ye Wenhao took a deep breath to steady his emotions, then chuckled self-deprecatingly, "In fact, I had anticipated this outcome before coming to see you, but I still couldn’t control myself from seeking you out. I hope you don’t take offense."

"Wenhao, you’re being too formal," Yan said solemnly, "Setting aside the history between you and me, and not even mentioning my private relationship with Xuanji, or even disregarding the fact that Xiao Fan once made a savior contribution and developed a new medicine formula to prevent future disasters, just considering the cultivation talent that Xiao Fan has displayed, I would not want to see him perish too soon."

"Thank you!" Ye Wenhao bowed in gratitude immediately, feeling the sincerity from Yan.

"Also, apart from considering the overall situation, there is another reason I won’t save him," Yan suddenly added.

"What is it?"

"I believe in your son."

Yan exclaimed astonishingly, "I once told him, looking across the global Cultivation World, there are no more than ten people who have the potential to break through that Legendary Realm, and he is the most likely of them all!"

"Uh..."

Stunned by Yan’s words, Ye Wenhao was so shocked that his mouth hung open; he had never dreamt that Yan would have such high expectations for Ye Fan!

"I also told him that on the road of cultivation, it’s not sufficient to only focus on secluded cultivation; one must undergo life-or-death trials. Hence, I not only awarded him a Mid-grade Flying Magical Artifact, but I also gave him a Human Skin Mask to take on another identity and train across the Five Great Alliances," Yan pronounced every word clearly. "Although I don’t know why he chose Japan as his first trial location, I believe he will successfully get through this ordeal and escape from Japan alive!

I also believe that he will sweep through the genius contemporaries in the upcoming Hidden God List competition, truly achieving unrivaled status in his generation, then continue to forge ahead, challenging the Legendary Realm that no one in the modern Cultivation World has broken through, and finally accomplishing his goal—to eradicate the Qinghong Organization!"

"I think, not just me, Xuanji feels the same. Otherwise, he wouldn’t have let Xiao Fan go to Japan alone but would have protected him in secret as before," Yan paused, his eyes shimmering with wise light, filled with deep anticipation. "To be honest, I’m very eager to see how your son will break out of this deadly predicament!"
