Ye Qingtian was so distracted by Ye Fan's greatness that he completely missed Tang Hao's point.
“No, the Chu family did not submit to him. Chu Yuan showed up at the very last minute and injured Ye Fan severely,” Tang Hao replied, snapping Ye Qingtian back to reality.
The look of pride on his face was immediately replaced by anxiety as he pressed on, “Welt? What happened after that? Did you two help him out? Did Ye Fan manage to escape? Honestly, that brat sure is a stubborn one! I've warned him not to underestimate the Chu family's power, but he never listens! Now, look what he's done! He got that old monster to come out of hiding!”
“I think we should assume him dead...” Tang Hao replied with a sigh.
“Don't give me that crap! I want to know what happened in the end! Did Chu Yuan engage Ye Fan in combat?” Ye Qingtian asked anxiously.
Tang Hao shook his head. “Sword Saint and I left halfway through the battle, so we don't know what happened afterward—”
Sword Saint cut him off mid-sentence, “I don't think we need to see it to know what happens. Chu Tianfan may be as powerful as the Sky Ranking's top three, but he has also expended a huge amount of energy fighting those continuous battles. Chu Yuan was the Sky Ranking's strongest ten years ago. Even if he hasn't ascended to the god realm, he'd at least be halfway there by now. Judging by the huge power difference between them, it'd be safe to assume that Chu Tianfan is dead.”
He sounded like he was really certain that Ye Fan had died in combat.
To his surprise, Ye Qingtian got furious upon hearing that.
“So you two abandoned Ye Fan and returned to China because you were afraid of being caught in the crossfire? Is that why you guys just left him to die?” he shouted with a gloomy look on his face.
Unsure of why he was so angry at them, Sword Saint snapped back at him coldly, “What do you mean afraid of being caught in the crossfire? Do you think I'm doing this for myself? I'm doing this for the sake of China's martial arts forces! Do you seriously want the War God Castle to challenge Chu Yuan and the entire Chu family because of Chu Tianfan? He's not even a member of the War God Castle, so we have no obligation to protect him! Also, before leaving Mount Chumen, I have announced to all martial arts leaders in the world that the Unrivalled has been removed from China's Supreme list. From now on, there will only be five pillars of China!”
“What? I trained Ye Fan and made him one of China's Supremes! How dare you remove his title without my permission, Sword Saint?”
Ye Qingtian's anger was so intense that the table in front of him broke into pieces instantly.
Noticing that War God looked ready to fight Sword Saint, Tang Hao quickly tried to defuse the situation. “Calm down, Ye. None of us expected this to happen. Given how powerful the Chu family is, Sword Saint did what he had to do. I mean, Ye Fan tried to take on the entire Chu Sect alone! We had to cut ties with him orthe Chu family might think China sent him there.
Sword Saint had no choice but to sacrifice him for the greater good!”
“Greater good? What greater good? Are you two going to deliver me to the Chu family too if they wanted to kill me?”
Ye Qingtian got so mad that he shattered the tile beneath his feet with a powerful stomp before storming off. “Ye! Come back, Ye! Damn it! What the hell is going on here?” Tang Hao shouted as he ran after Ye Qingtian, but the latter refused to listen.
