God of War Ye Fan: Sexy sister-in-law insisted on marrying me-Chapter 959: The Fighter Among Bootlickers!

Pft!

Tang Ping nearly had a heart attack when his sect’s bodyguard came to report back!

Damn it, if you don’t talk, no one will think you’re mute!

A ceremony? Are you kidding me?

Are you blind? Can’t you see that everyone here is absolutely terrified of Ye Fan?

For crying out loud, Ye Fan dominates all of Great Xia, and his face has been circulated through internal sect memos countless times—how could you not recognize him?

Ye Fan!

That’s freaking Ye Fan! Not even the bigshots of the Immortal Domain can handle him. And before they could even make a move on the Nangong Family, Ye Fan already got to them first!

Sure, they’ve got hundreds of martial arts experts stationed around, but none of them dare to lift a finger against Ye Fan!

"Shut up! Get on your knees!"

Tang Ping, completely disregarding his image at this point, barked the command and kicked the bodyguard in the rear, forcing him to kneel on the ground.

The bodyguard, still clueless, kept rambling, "Sect Leader! Are you under some kind of threat? If you’re being coerced, blink once! We’ve set up so many experts outside—all we need to do is act together, and there’s no way a problem can’t be solved! Also, Patriarch Wen, and all you other family heads, why aren’t you speaking up? The brothers outside are waiting for your command!"

"..."

Wen Cheng and the rest, who had been watching this fiasco with some amusement, were instantly dumbfounded when they heard the bodyguard’s words!

Holy crap!

This idiot—you can drag your own sect leader into the muck if you like, but what the hell are you pulling us into this mess for?

We’d like to survive a few more years, thank you very much!

Take on Ye Fan? Just how big do you think your balls are?

This guy can’t be allowed to say another word—who knows what kind of colossal disaster he might unleash?

Tang Ping shared the same thought. A quick exchange of glances among the family heads established a silent consensus. In perfect unison, they swarmed forward, pinned the bodyguard to the ground, and beat him senseless!

Bam! Bam! Bam!

These martial arts elite didn’t hesitate in the slightest, each striking with full force until the bodyguard was reduced to a pile of shredded meat!

Only after the Tang Sect bodyguard was silenced did the family heads dare to turn to Ye Fan and plead, "Please, Young Master Ye, tell us what we need to do so you’ll spare us?"

The Ancient Martial World bigshots understood all too well: having been targeted by Ye Fan, there was no escaping without shedding blood.

If only they hadn’t acted so hastily!

It would have been smarter to wait in the shadows, letting the Soul Hall elites deal with Ye Fan before making their move against the Nangong Family. But alas, the world doesn’t sell regret medicine!

Ye Fan’s mouth curled into a sly grin. "It’s very simple. Tell me where Soul Hall Elder Qi is. I have some matters to discuss with him!"

"Young Master Ye, you’re looking for Elder Qi?"

Wen Cheng’s expression turned peculiar as soon as he heard Ye Fan’s words.

Elder Qi hadn’t come looking for Ye Fan yet, much to the private relief of these family heads. But now, Ye Fan actually intended to go seek him out? Wasn’t this walking right into the lion’s den?

Offering himself up on a silver platter?

They couldn’t handle Ye Fan, but they were well aware of Elder Qi’s capabilities. After all, many of their recent power boosts were accomplished with just a wave of Elder Qi’s hand.

Moreover, Soul Hall’s current activities within the Ancient Martial World were said to involve alliances with other powerful figures.

This was all driven by the imminent Immortal Gate Conference, soon to be held in the Ancient Martial World.

The event was tied to the Immortal Domain’s efforts to recruit elites and potential talents from the secular world. All those secular world geniuses holding an Immortal Path Guide were highly sought after by the great sects of the Immortal Domain.

Under normal circumstances, the orthodox sects of the Immortal Domain would be the main players in this recruitment. But Soul Hall, along with other sects that had been marginalized, also wanted a piece of the action.

So, they had banded together with the intention of making their move at the Immortal Gate Conference!

"Elder Qi’s whereabouts..." Wen Cheng began, prepared to reveal the details to Ye Fan. But Tang Ping, worried, interrupted, "Patriarch Wen, we can’t disclose Elder Qi’s location so easily, or else..."

When Elder Qi had taken up residence in the Ancient Martial World, he had specifically instructed them not to contact him unnecessarily, let alone go looking for him!

Elder Qi’s sole purpose in coming to the Ancient Martial World was to dismantle the Ancient Martial Alliance and prevent Ye Fan from interfering with their plans.

From the incidents in the Capital, where Soul Hall envoys had gone missing, the last transmissions they sent back all implicated Ye Fan.

Soul Hall had already issued orders: if anyone encountered Ye Fan, they were to cooperate with the Great Soul Hall Elder in the Capital to deal with him.

"What do you know, you idiot? We’re all about to die, and you’re still worried about Elder Qi?"

Wen Cheng shot Tang Ping an exasperated glare and berated him.

If Ye Fan wanted to find Elder Qi, then let him!

If Ye Fan managed to kill Elder Qi, their leaking of Elder Qi’s whereabouts wouldn’t matter in the slightest. After all, a dead Elder Qi wouldn’t be able to come after them for revenge!

And if Ye Fan ended up being killed by Elder Qi, then there was no room for concern either! Taking down Ye Fan was the most pressing desire of the Soul Hall higher-ups; actively leading Ye Fan to Elder Qi would even earn them considerable merit.

"I..." Tang Ping muttered, then quickly blurted out, "I know! Elder Qi is in the Northwest region of the Ancient Martial Domain, cultivating in an ancient temple... If Young Master Ye doesn’t know the way, I can show you!"

"..."

What’s the definition of a bootlicker?

Well, this is it!

And not just any bootlicker—a world-class one!

Wen Cheng was about to lose his mind, nearly driven to madness. It was bad enough that he had willingly started to reveal Elder Qi’s location, but Tang Ping had casually hijacked the moment and rushed to spill the beans first!

After all that effort, Wen Cheng hadn’t managed to snag a single benefit!

"Oh? Very well, then. You’ll lead the way," Ye Fan said coldly, throwing a sharp glance at Tang Ping. This Tang Ping was annoyingly slick, always scrambling to answer first in order to leave a good impression.

But Ye Fan knew one thing for sure—silent dogs bite the hardest!

This Tang Ping was extremely cunning and would undoubtedly prove to be a threat in the long run.

Tang Ping’s willingness to act against the Nangong Family today, and his craven capitulation in Ye Fan’s presence, highlighted his lack of loyalty. Even if he bowed before Ye Fan, no trust could be extended to such a person.

Little did Tang Ping know, his clever schemes had backfired; he was already on Ye Fan’s list of the soon-to-be-dead.

Argh!

Meanwhile, the other family heads—Patriarch Duan, Patriarch Wen, and the rest—were seething with frustration but dared not show it in front of Ye Fan.

"Young Master Ye, we..."

Wen Cheng wore a defeated expression, already mentally prepared for certain death.

Everyone knew about Elder Qi’s whereabouts. Now that Tang Ping had jumped the gun, the rest of them might as well not exist.

"You all... order all your subordinates to retreat immediately. Then, go to the Nangong Family in person to apologize and admit your wrongdoings. If my wife forgives you, you’ll be spared..."

"As for what happens next, it’ll depend on your performance at tomorrow’s Ancient Alliance Conference. My wife needs backing from the Ancient Martial World. If you manage to rally enough support... hehe, we’ll discuss the rest then..."
