Chapter 735 - 833: Suddenly Hearing Tragic News
Ye Tianfan heard this, and immediately nodded. Being the number one under the heavens is indeed no joke. You must understand, the number one under the heavens represents the strongest person in the world, ignoring group fights, the strongest in one-on-one!
Just like that, while talking with Bai Feng, Ye Tianfan reached the residence of the disciples of Taiqi Peak where Bai Feng was.
When they arrived here, Ye Tianfan felt the atmosphere was somewhat desolate. Just as he wanted to ask Bai Feng why it was like this, he recalled what Bai Feng had mentioned earlier—that battle had directly reduced the Taichu Sect by four-fifths.
The desolate feeling at the Taiqi Peak residence was very normal, so Ye Tianfan didn't ask further. He merely patted Bai Feng on the shoulder, then silently put down the claws, saying to Bai Feng, "Bai Feng, I'll go now to check on my master and my senior brothers!"
"Uh..." Bai Feng reached out to stop Ye Tianfan but couldn't think of any reason to do so, so he just thought to himself: Hopefully, Ye Tianfan can withstand this blow and won't succumb to madness.
Bai Feng watched Ye Tianfan's retreating back, shaking his head with a wry smile!
"He has to face these eventually, no matter how much you try to stop him, there's nothing to be done!"
Just as Bai Feng was about to call a few junior brothers to help carry back the claws, suddenly, he heard a voice from behind.
Bai Feng quickly turned his head to look behind.
"Master!" Bai Feng called respectfully!
The person who came was Yuan Chu Zhenren. Yuan Chu Zhenren looked at the departing figure of Ye Tianfan and shook his head, "He's a good child, very hardworking, and his heart yearns for justice, but fate is such, there's nothing to be done!"
After hearing this, Bai Feng anxiously said, "But... master, what if Tianfan falls into madness? What should we do then? Even if he doesn't, returning this time will surely cause severe psychological trauma!"
"Haha! If he falls into madness, find Senior Brother Zhizhu to deal with it, and for psychological trauma, find Junior Brother Tian Chu to counsel him. In any case, we can't just abandon this child; after all, he's the future of the Taichu Sect!" Yuan Chu Zhenren sighed.
Actually, Yuan Chu Zhenren could somewhat see it. He could see that Taichu Zhenren wanted to pass the position of Sect Leader to Ye Tianfan, because previously Taichu Zhenren wanted to pass it to Yun Tian. Although Yun Tian was excellent, he wasn't as outstanding as Ye Tianfan, and Ye Tianfan's fortune was also very substantial.
Moreover, every time Taichu Zhenren would consciously or unconsciously take care of Ye Tianfan, Yuan Chu Zhenren believed that the other head leaders also noticed this, but they just didn't say it out loud, after all, such matters were beyond their concern!
However, whether Yun Tian or Ye Tianfan became the Sect Leader, it didn't matter to these head leaders, because both Yun Tian and Ye Tianfan were very good, neither were they treacherous or evil, not even a trace of evil intent!
For the better development of Taichu Sect, they still supported Ye Tianfan becoming the Sect Leader!
After all, Ye Tianfan had deep fortune. Not only did he return safely from what was thought to be a perilous ordeal, but he also brought back some claws of an unknown demon beast, and if Yuan Chu Zhenren were to refine Magical Treasures from these claws, it would definitely be of a rare level, though the refining speed would be slower, approximately one per day, and if refined into top-level Magical Treasures, about a thousand could be made a day.
But Yuan Chu Zhenren wouldn't let himself refine top-level Magical Treasures because he felt that with his current achievements, refining top-level Magical Treasures was too disgraceful!
After saying goodbye to Yuan Chu Zhenren and others, Ye Tianfan headed towards the residence of Taihuo Peak, walking briskly, wanting to inform his master that he had returned safely!
When Ye Tianfan arrived at the residence of Taihuo Peak, he found that there seemed to be no one there, and sensed a person standing by the window. Ye Tianfan sensed it was his master, but since there was no one else, Ye Tianfan didn't mind, just assuming the senior brothers were busy with something.
Ye Tianfan hurried inside, looked excitedly at the back of the person standing by the window, and with tears in his eyes, shouted, "Master!"
Hearing Ye Tianfan's call, Tian Chu Zhenren's body trembled, then he quickly turned around, looking at Ye Tianfan, incredulous, and said, "Little... Little Seventh?"
"It's me, Master, I'm not dead, I came back safely!" Ye Tianfan said, stepping forward!
Tian Chu Zhenren was so excited, he stepped forward and hugged Ye Tianfan tightly, and tears fell on the spot.
Crying, Tian Chu Zhenren said, "Little Seventh, Little Seventh, it's good that you're back, now that you're back, our Taihuo Peak has someone!"
"?" Ye Tianfan was a bit confused, not understanding why Tian Chu Zhenren said this, but he thought it was because Tian Chu Zhenren was too emotional upon seeing him, so he didn't take it seriously.
But then, after hearing Tian Chu Zhenren's words, Ye Tianfan was struck as if by lightning, standing stiffly in place!
"Our Taihuo Peak, now, it's just the two of us left. You shouldn't participate in the upcoming battles. You can't have any more accidents. If anything more happens, I really can't face our ancestors, nearly extinct in my generation, the lineage of Taihuo Peak!" Tian Chu Zhenren said!
"What? Master, what do you mean?" Ye Tianfan asked in panic!
How can it be just the two of us left, aren't there still senior brothers, and master's wife?
Tian Chu Zhenren said with a choked voice, "They all died. I failed to protect them, they all died in this war!"
Ye Tianfan was stunned to hear this, how could they be dead? Why would it be like this?
"Master, don't joke like this, did the senior brothers and master's wife hide to scare me?" Ye Tianfan said incredulously!
Tian Chu Zhenren didn't answer Ye Tianfan's question, just choked up and patted Ye Tianfan's shoulder.
Ye Tianfan couldn't believe it at first, but those two pats on the shoulder nearly made Ye Tianfan break down. He recalled how, when he first entered the sect, Senior Brother You Tianjiao took meticulous care of him, even during the Nine Meridians Martial Ranking Event, Senior Brother You Tianjiao fetched food for him, fearing he'd miss his meal!
And the other senior brothers and master's wife.
But now those people, for Ye Tianfan, were already a handful of yellow earth!
Ye Tianfan took a few deep breaths, forcefully suppressing his inner anger, knowing that if he didn't control this anger, he could easily fall into madness.
And Ye Tianfan didn't know why, ever since absorbing that blood energy, he became more prone to rage, perhaps because there was still residual blood energy not completely absorbed.
But now it no longer mattered, what mattered was, he'd never see those who cared about him
