Ye Fan once again pressed Chu Feng for answers, originally hoping to extract information about the person behind Elder Zhang from Chu Feng's mouth!
However, Chu Feng seemed indeed ignorant, blood streaming from his seven orifices, and eventually, the mental pressure seemed too much, causing him to completely collapse and faint, yielding no other useful information.
Nevertheless, it was clear from Chu Feng that Elder Zhang was indeed a big fish in the scheme, and this piece of information was already sufficient!
Now that Elder Zhang had shown himself, Ye Fan certainly wouldn't spare him to celebrate the New Year.
With the crucial clue unraveled, beginning with Elder Zhang, none of the big players behind him would get away.
"Kill them all!" Ye Fan ordered the Four Great Maids by his side to deal with Chu Feng's subordinates, who had been scared witless, while he himself approached the captain of the Black Clothes Society, Wu Teng, and also employed the Seven Stars Soul Extinguishing Hand to interrogate the Japanese Dog about their plans.
Without interrogation, nothing was known, but upon questioning, it turned out that the Japanese Dogs had infiltrated Great Xia with five such powerful forces, aiming to assassinate high-ranking officials of Great Xia, attack the geniuses and important figures of Great Xia, and create chaos.
Ye Fan immediately thought of Yu Linglong!
His beloved wife, charging at the Southeastern Frontline, with only Grandmaster Peak strength, could be in trouble if she encountered these Dongying elite squads.
He needed to find a way to warn her! Ideally, he should think of a way to help Yu Linglong increase her strength!
The fastest method Ye Fan had at his disposal to help increase strength was to have "intimate" contact with Yu Linglong, allowing his own warm current to nourish Yu Linglong!
...
Inside the Ye Family secret chamber, Ye Changfeng had everyone withdraw into the chamber.
This move, which was made without their knowledge, left Leng Feng and others terribly anxious. "Elder Ye, why have you left Young Master Ye and the Four Great Maids outside? The Young Master hasn't awakened yet!"
"Indeed! Elder Ye, the Young Master is the Ye Family's last hope; nothing untoward must happen to him!"
The direct-lineage force of the Ye Family was genuinely concerned for Ye Fan's safety.
In fact, not just them, even Ye Changfeng himself was very worried, and had it not been for witnessing Ye Fan's arrangements, he would not have decisively allowed Ye Fan to face those people alone outside.
Niu Er and others from Wandering Soul, having monitored Ye Fan's strength in advance, were slightly more at ease. Thinking about why Elder Ye An had brought so many people into the secret chamber, Niu Er quickly figured it out.
Was the Young Master pretending to be foolish, and then planning to take action personally, but without revealing his true strength? Therefore, he intentionally had people withdrawn to create an opportunity for himself to act?
Having realized this, Niu Er hurriedly spoke up, "Everyone, rest assured, our Wandering Soul has other experts stationed outside! Their strength might have reached the Martial Emperor level, and they won't let anything happen to the Young Master!"
"Moreover, you must have faith in Young Master Ye's abilities! Before the car accident, Young Master Ye was such a monstrous talent, already at grandmaster level in strength! Five years have passed, perhaps Young Master Ye's strength has already broken through? Divine Doctor Lei has said that Young Master Ye will soon awaken, and maybe if he participates in more battles, he could awaken faster, right?"
As Niu Er suddenly spoke up, he immediately eased the awkwardness for Ye Changfeng.
Lei Qianjue by Ye Changfeng's side quickly responded, "Exactly, exactly! According to this old man's estimation, Young Master Ye should have already recovered his Martial Arts strength. Elder Ye An allowing Ye Fan outside is also attempting to test Young Master Ye's strength ... Besides, with the experts from Wandering Soul standing guard outside, there won't be any trouble!"

Their back and forth smoothed things over.
Yet Leng Feng and the others always felt something strange!
Although everyone was in the underground secret chamber, after Ye Fan concluded the fight, he could hear the conversations inside the secret chamber loud and clear.
With Niu Er chiming in like that, claiming that it was the work of Wandering Soul who took care of Chu Feng's assassination squad, the incident could be conveniently covered up.
After the Four Great Maids had nearly finished cleaning up the battlefield, Ye Fan knocked on the door of the secret chamber and reverted to his foolish demeanor, "So many people have died, such a formidable old man..."
Ye Fan showed a visage of shock in front of everyone.
Yet, as he spoke, his gaze turned to Niu Er.
That profound look, those piercing eyes, how did they resemble someone foolish?
The Young Master is truly brilliant!
After enduring in hiding for so many years, now he strikes with the strength at the Martial Emperor level.
Clearly, it was the Young Master who killed Chu Feng and his entourage, yet someone else must take the fall, enabling the Young Master to continue playing the fool, pretending to be a pig to eat the tiger!
"Ah... right, it must have been Elder Wu from our Wandering Soul who made the move, I knew it, those trash couldn't pose a threat to the Ye Family..."
Everyone came out of the secret chamber and looked around the Ye Family Courtyard.
Besides the blood-stained aroma still lingering in the air, everything seemed normal, as if Chu Feng and his people had never been here.
If it weren't for the fact that Chu Feng and his people had perished, Ye Fan wouldn't be standing here so unharmed and unperturbed.
Was it really a Wandering Soul expert who killed Chu Feng and the others?
But why would they avoid the witnesses of the Ye Family?
Although the Ye Family's Direct Lineage Force had their doubts, given the current situation, everyone tactfully refrained from asking too many questions. However, the way people looked at Ye Fan was filled with curiosity – perhaps, this young lord had already changed from before!
Niu Er came today specifically to meet Ye Fan.
Now that the Ye Family's crisis had been averted, Niu Er bowed to Elder Ye, "Elder Ye, I wish to speak with Young Master Ye alone for a moment, if you deem it appropriate..."
Ye Changfeng glanced at Ye Fan, "Come with me!"
Ye Changfeng led Niu Er and Ye Fan back into the secret chamber, and after the door was closed, Niu Er knelt down respectfully before Ye Fan, "Subordinate, captain of the Wandering Soul's 38th team, Niu Er, greets the Young Master. Please forgive us, Young Master, for only confirming your presence after such a long time!"
"Captain Niu, what exactly is going on? Our Ye Family doesn't usually have much to do with Wandering Soul, why do you refer to Ye Fan as Young Master? Is there some kind of misunderstanding?" Ye Changfeng asked, seeing that Ye Fan hadn't spoken up to address the concern in his heart.
"Elder Ye... This is the token our master entrusted to us before he left, saying that the Young Master would naturally believe us upon seeing this item," Niu Er said, while taking out a Jade Pendant Piece from his clothes and handing it over to Ye Changfeng.
Seeing the Jade Pendant Fragment, Ye Changfeng's complexion changed, "Xiao Zhu's Jade Pendant Fragment? How did it end up in your hands?"
As Ye Changfeng was shocked, he pulled out another half of the Jade Pendant Fragment from his clothes. When the two pieces were joined together, they fitted perfectly, forming a complete Jade Pendant!
"I don't know the details. The last time we saw our master, he gave us this item, instructing us to ensure that Wandering Soul's legacy is passed on to the Young Master..."
Ye Changfeng nodded, then turned to Ye Fan, "Xiao Fan, this is true! It was indeed your mother's arrangement... It seems that besides the force of the Ye Family, your mother had prepared other contingencies!"
