The smoke and dust dispersed, and the entire abandoned cement factory had become a pile of dusty ruins!
Ye Fan's powerful perception was released, and after the collapse of the ruins, those Grandmasters and other assassins had all been devoid of any signs of life; they were either blown to pieces or had met their instantaneous demise!
As for the assassins lurking around the factory...
"Big brother, are you alright? It's all Scholar Guo's fault for demanding compensation from those people, it infuriates me!" Hardly had the area calmed down when Wang Fugui and Guo Li, among others, rushed over at high speed.
On the way here, a few assassins who instinctively wanted to swing their battle sabers to block were sent straight to Western Paradise by two slaps from Wang Fugui.
The assassins on the outskirts had already been cleaned up by the men brought by Guo Li.
Not a single survivor was left on the scene!
"What could possibly happen to me? There was a huge explosion just now, boom... All gone!" Ye Fan responded to Wang Fugui with an honest face, while reaching out to feel around on Qing Ruolan's body, "Wife Ruolan, are you alright? Were you hurt by the explosion anywhere?"
Ye Fan's hands on Qing Ruolan's slender waist and hips kept groping, as if endowed with magic power, causing her face to flush and her whole body to feel uncomfortable, "No... I'm fine!"
Although Qing Ruolan had by now completely accepted that Ye Fan could check her body, it wasn't supposed to be here!
There were so many people here!
Xuan Yufei and Su Yixue, watching from the side, saw Ye Fan revert to this state in an instant, and a trace of worry appeared in their eyes; it was apparent that Ye Fan had once again returned to a foolish state.
Alas!
Fortunately, Ye Fan was in a clear state of mind just now.
Otherwise, with Su Yixue, Xuan Yufei, and Qing Ruolan all under Jin Yang's control, if Ye Fan had been killed by them, the three would truly regret it for the rest of their lives.
They had clearly promised Old Master Ye to protect the only bloodline of the Ye Family and to help the Ye Family flourish.
Looking at Ye Fan and then at her own stomach, Su Yixue realized she had been with Ye Fan for a while now, yet there was still no movement in her belly.
Was her body too weak?
It seemed that she must hurry up and let Ye Fan speed up the 'sowing', or else in a month's time, Ye Fan would have to go to Provincial City!
An explosive life-and-death situation had seemingly calmed down.
As if nothing had ever happened!
But in fact, the undercurrents hidden behind were far more turbulent!
Just after Ye Fan, Wang Fugui, Guo Li, and others had left, a van sped towards the cement factory. Several youths got off, and seeing the situation in front of them, their faces turned grave, and they immediately made several phone calls.
...
In the Northwest, inside a certain courtyard!
Elder Zhang was playing chess with an old man when his subordinate suddenly came in with a tablet and reported the news.
Although Elder Zhang had extraordinary composure, he was so shocked by the news that he stood up abruptly from his chair, "What? Jin Yang and all the members of the Gu Sect have been annihilated? Third Elder Ling Yun of the Gu Sect is dead too?"
"Is Ye Fan not afraid of the Gu Sect's methods?"
The bald subordinate shook his head and said, "Elder! We're not clear about the specifics; none of the people at the scene survived. Our brothers in the distance only saw an explosion... Jin Yang and the people from the Gu Sect didn't pass on any useful information... Whether Jin Yang and his people were blown up or something else happened, we have no idea... Also, there's the matter with Young Master Zhou..."
"What happened with Young Master Zhou? Didn't he also go to Cloud City? He should have been involved in the operation, right?" Elder Zhang's heart skipped a beat upon hearing his subordinate's words.
Young Master Zhou was a spokesman for the Holy Envoy Organization, and under the graces of Your Highness the Holy Envoy, Young Master Zhou possessed many extraordinary abilities, even the "Indestructible Body."
In terms of overall combat power, Zhou Ming had even reached the Martial Emperor Level.
Could it be that Zhou Ming also suffered a setback in Cloud City?
"News from the Capital says that Young Master Zhou is dead!"
"Ah? Dead? Are you kidding?" The chess pieces fell from Elder Zhang's hand. With Zhou Ming's Martial Emperor Level strength, to die in Cloud City... who was it that made the move in secret?
Even if Wandering Soul intervened in the Ye Family's affairs, to kill a Martial Emperor Level fighter, one of Wandering Soul's old timers would have had to take action, right?
But according to the intelligence, those old farts from Wandering Soul never left their headquarters.
"The Capital said that Young Master Zhou is sort of dead, but not completely dead... because of the Holy Envoy's Mysterious Secret Technique, Zhou Ming escaped in a state that was neither human nor ghost. However, he completely forgot the specifics of the fight..."
