LGHTNOVELBOOK Chapter 365 Undercurrents Surge
"Miss!"
Upon seeing the middle-aged beauty, a group of ancient martial artists from the Chen Family shouted in unison.
For this was none other than Chen Shufen, the youngest daughter of Old Master Chen, Chen Tianqi.
"Sister!"
Chen Longpeng stepped forward and embraced Chen Shufen's body in his arms. He carefully checked her pulse, only to be disappointed to find that there was not a trace of life left in his youngest sister, Chen Shufen.
"Mother!" At that moment, Huang Zicheng also rushed back, arriving in a taxi at breakneck speed.
Seeing his own mother dead, Huang Zicheng roared in anger.

In the very next instant, Chen Longpeng suddenly stood up and fiercely slapped Huang Zicheng across the face.
Totally unprepared for Chen Longpeng to strike him, Huang Zicheng was caught off guard and completely dumbfounded by the blow.
Staring at Chen Longpeng, Huang Zicheng asked timidly, "Uncle... why did you hit me?"
"It's all your fault, everything is your fault!" Chen Longpeng shouted angrily.
Huang Zicheng, distraught with grief and indignation, protested, "Bullshit! It was Ye Fan who killed my Huang Family's people, not me, Huang Zicheng!"
"Hmph!"
Chen Longpeng did not show the slightest compassion, and coldly retorted, "When you were abroad, I saw no trouble befall the Central Plains Huang Family. Ever since you returned from overseas, one calamity after another has struck the Huang Family. Ask yourself, could the annihilation of the Huang Family really have nothing to do with you?"
"I..." Huang Zicheng was speechless.
Chen Longpeng was right. Before, their Huang Family had been stable, but ever since he returned to target Ye Fan, his family's situation had progressively worsened.
Last night, because he offended Ye Fan, the Huang Family was wiped out overnight.
"Sigh!"
With a long sigh, Chen Longpeng ordered, "Someone, see to it that all these people from the Huang Family are given a proper funeral!"
"Yes, Master Peng!" A group of ancient martial artists responded in chorus.
After issuing the command for the proper funeral of the Huang Family members, Chen Longpeng gripped Huang Zicheng by the collar and demanded, "Tell me, did that brat called Ye Fan really do all this?"
"I... I'm not sure!" Huang Zicheng stammered, looking guilty under Chen Longpeng's intense gaze.
Chen Longpeng scoffed dismissively, "The Huang Family has been wiped out, and you don't even know who the mastermind is. How useless!"
Scolded by Chen Longpeng, Huang Zicheng clenched his fists tightly, his face full of frustration, wanting to retort but unable to find the words.
"But I know one thing, within the Central Plains, aside from Ye Fan, there is no one else capable of eradicating the Huang Family!" Huang Zicheng declared, his eyes red with emotion.
Chen Longpeng asked in surprise, "Oh? Are you sure of that?"
"Certain, I am absolutely certain!" Huang Zicheng bellowed, filled with bitter hatred.
He was clear in his mind that within the Central Plains, only Ye Fan could be so heartlessly savage.
Chen Longpeng's expression turned dark as he nodded and said, "Very well! Considering the time, it should almost be the hour for my duel with Ye Fan. Spread the word, if Ye Fan does not show up as agreed at seven in the morning, I will march on the Su Family and make sure not a single blade of grass grows there, not sparing even a chicken or dog!"
"Yes, Uncle!" Huang Zicheng said vindictively.
Although Chen Longpeng was not kind to him, Huang Zicheng did not hate him because what Chen Longpeng said was true—the destruction of the Huang Family had a lot to do with him.
If it hadn't been for his continued offenses against Ye Fan for the sake of Su Ruoxue, the Huang Family would not have met their collective tragic end the night before.
By comparison, Huang Zicheng was even more eager for Chen Longpeng to strike down Ye Fan and avenge all the deceased members of the Huang Family.
Before long, Huang Zicheng had disseminated the news, and as soon as it was out, a great uproar ensued throughout the Central Plains.
"Damn! Has the number one master of the East Sea, Chen Longpeng, already arrived in the Central Plains? And he's going to face Ye Fan at seven in the morning? Why so soon?"
"Dude! You haven't heard? The Huang Family was wiped out last night, and the prime suspect is this Ye Fan. Huang Zicheng's mother, Chen Shufen, is the youngest daughter of Old Master Chen from the East Sea Chen Family, as well as the youngest sister of Chen Longpeng. Chen Shufen's death will only hasten Chen Longpeng's decision to battle!"
"The Huang Family has been wiped out? Isn't that too explosive? Keep in mind that the Huang Family is the number one prominent family in the Central Plains, and they were already halfway into becoming an Extraordinary Family Clan!"
"So what? Being annihilated means being annihilated! Hurry up and get out of bed to head to Yanming Lake, there's bound to be a spectacular decisive battle soon!"
"Yes, yes, yes, hurry and get up to watch the battle at Yanming Lake. They say that Chen Longpeng is a Martial Arts King, and it's rare to see such a top-notch expert!"
After many of the elite within the Central Plains received the news, they could not afford to rest any longer; they quickly got out of bed, washed up, and then drove to Yanming Lake in the Central Plains.
After all, it was too rare to witness the forceful hand of a Martial King.
"Is the news confirmed? Has Chen Longpeng already arrived?"
Within the Xu Family's residence, Xu Ruoxuan was also awakened by the news.
Xu Haoran said gravely, "At such a critical moment, sister, do you think I'd joke with you?"
"Okay, I'll contact Ye Fan right now!" Xu Ruoxuan said solemnly.
As she spoke, Xu Ruoxuan found Ye Fan's contact information and immediately called him.
Inside Century Sky City, upon hearing the phone ring, Ye Fan opened his eyes immediately.
Seeing that it was a call from Xu Ruoxuan, Ye Fan realized that something big was about to happen.
Otherwise, according to Xu Ruoxuan's style, she would definitely not contact him as soon as dawn broke.
Stepping out onto the balcony, Ye Fan then answered, "Miss Xu, calling me so early in the morning, has something big happened?"
"Yes, something big has happened. Chen Longpeng, the top expert of East Sea, has come!" Xu Ruoxuan said sternly.
Ye Fan was a bit surprised, "Chen Longpeng has come so quickly?"
"That's right! Last night, the Huang Family was destroyed. Although Mr. Ye did not take action, this matter has a huge connection to you. Madame Huang, Chen Shufen, is the youngest daughter of Old Master Chen of the East Sea Chen Family, and also the youngest sister of Chen Longpeng. With Chen Shufen's death, do you think the East Sea Chen Family can contain their fury?" Xu Ruoxuan explained to Ye Fan.
Learning that Chen Longpeng had come with resentment, Ye Fan said quite speechlessly, "Alright then!"
"Mr. Ye, Chen Longpeng is no ordinary person. Are you ready to face him?" Xu Ruoxuan asked.
Ye Fan chuckled lightly, "When the soldiers come, block them; when the water comes, fill the gaps! Even without any preparation, what is there for me, Ye Fan, to fear?"
"Then Mr. Ye, please be extra careful. I don't wish for anything untoward to happen to you!" Xu Ruoxuan expressed her concern.
Ye Fan nodded and said, "Thank you for letting me know, Miss Xu. I've got it!"
"Good! Then I'm going to get up now and head to Yanming Lake to watch the battle!" Xu Ruoxuan responded.
No sooner had Ye Fan finished talking with Xu Ruoxuan than Xiang Tianba, the East Suburb Big Brother, also made a call.
"Master Ye, Chen Longpeng from East Sea has arrived, and it seems he bodes ill. Shall I assemble some men and set an ambush at Yanming Lake? Once Chen Longpeng arrives, I'll lead my men to take him by surprise and kill him!"
By now, Xiang Tianba had already won Ye Fan's favor, and anything related to Ye Fan was of extra concern to him.
Ye Fan whispered, "There's no need! It's said that Chen Longpeng is a Martial King, ordinary people can't inflict any harm on him at all. If you lead more people into an ambush, once they act, it will only lead to death!"
"Master Ye, I have guns here, I refuse to believe that guns can't kill Chen Longpeng!" Xiang Tianba raised his voice.
Ye Fan laughed and shook his head, "You're underestimating the Martial King too much. If Chen Longpeng were a Martial Arts Grandmaster, perhaps guns might be of some use, but unfortunately, Chen Longpeng is a Martial King. Even if you could get the most lethal guns in the world, they might not even scratch Chen Longpeng!"
"Martial Kings are that monstrous?" Xiang Tianba was shocked.
Ye Fan nodded and said, "Exactly! The power of a Martial King may exceed the imagination of ordinary people! Don't worry, let me deal with Chen Longpeng alone!"
"Master Ye, are you sure you can handle it?" Xiang Tianba was a bit apprehensive.
Ye Fan said calmly, "It's not a big problem!"
"That's good to hear!" Xiang Tianba finally breathed a sigh of relief.
Meanwhile, within the Huang Family residence, the bodies of many Huang Family members had already been cremated and buried.
With red-rimmed eyes, Huang Zicheng said, "Uncle, everything is arranged!"
"Good!"
After the many deceased of the Huang Family had been taken care of, Chen Longpeng's gaze locked onto the direction of Yanming Lake in the Central Plains, his killing intent reaching the skies as he declared, "Set out at once for Yanming Lake. Today, I shall wreak a great slaughter, I will crush Ye Fan with the force of thunder, and I'll use my actions to warn the world, the dignity of my East Sea Chen Family shall not be violated!"
In an instant, the wind surge, and a storm was on the horizon.
