"Brother..."
As Ye Qinglong asked about what had happened tonight, Xu Fan's figure reappeared in Ye Yun's mind.
Hatred and fear spread over his heart!
Ye Yun tightly gripped the bedsheets, looking towards Ye Qinglong.
"Li Qinghe, and that Xu Fan!"
"It was those two who did this! Brother, you must avenge me!"
"..."
These two names were not unfamiliar; one was the daughter of the Li Family of Shanghai, and the other was the one who had killed his own brother.
No wonder they dared to harm Ye Yun so viciously.
Ye Qinglong didn't let Ye Yun explain the situation in too much detail since he had already inquired about it while Ye Yun was still unconscious.
It was clear that this mess was mainly caused by his own stubborn younger brother.
Glancing at Ye Yun, Ye Qinglong comforted him, "Ye Yun, don't worry, this matter concerns our Ye Family's honor. The family will certainly not stand by idly."
"However, the Martial Arts Conference is about to start, so your matter will have to be put on hold for now. But rest assured, once it is over, neither the Li Family nor Xu Fan will have a good end!"
This Martial Arts Conference would gather the power of the three major families of Hong Kong Island and invite various masters, not only disciples from the Neijia Realm but perhaps even several grandmasters from the Innate Realm!
If the Ye Family could absorb these martial artists as guests, their strength would surely rise significantly!
By then, to destroy the Li Family and Xu Fan would be incredibly easy!
"I... I understand, brother."
Although he wanted immediate revenge, he also understood the importance of this Martial Arts Conference to the Ye Family.
Making a scene with Ye Qinglong would not be a wise decision.
Besides, Xu Fan, having made a move against him, probably wouldn't dare to stay on Hong Kong Island for long and had most likely already returned to Shanghai.
At this moment, Ye Yun nodded and agreed.
"Alright, you're injured now. Take good care of yourself, I'll be leaving first."
Thereupon, Ye Qinglong left Ye Yun's room with his men.
...
Two days later.
Lantau Mountain Island.
Lantau Island is the largest island in the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region, with Phoenix Mountain and Mile Mountain on the island being quite famous.
Located between the two mountains, the Baolian Temple, also known as the Southern Buddha Heaven, is renowned with a Chan Buddhist archway facing the peak of Muyu Mountain, where the 34-meter high Heavenly Altar Buddha is the largest bronze Buddha statue in the world today.
During holidays, many people from Hong Kong go there for cleansing and recreation, but today, early in the morning, numerous men in martial attire were already stationed outside the temple, not allowing any unrelated persons to enter.
Each of them had a sharp gleam in their eyes and muscular physiques, clearly showing their extraordinary martial arts achievements.
Outside the mountain gate of Baolian Temple, people could be seen arriving in groups, heading into the temple.
If one were sharp-eyed, seeing the group that made it through the guards and into Baolian Temple, they would undoubtedly be shocked.
Each of these individuals was a well-known martial cultivator from Huaxia!
After decades immersed in the practice of Martial Arts, anyone, from merely a glance, could see their extraordinary aura.
There were also those who were not martial cultivators, but each was dressed finely, undoubtedly members of the top three elite families of Hong Kong Island.
Compared to these people, Zhong Xingyue, who had just climbed up the mountain, hardly seemed like someone here to participate in the Martial Arts Conference.
"Huff, huff, why do I feel like something's not quite right?"
At this moment, wiping the sweat beads on her forehead, Zhong Xingyue looked at the group guarding the temple entrance and couldn't help feeling a bit scared.
Originally, Xu Fan hadn't planned to bring her along today, but she had insisted stubbornly, saying she was familiar with Lantau Mountain and could guide him, which led to him bringing her.
She had thought Xu Fan was just going up the mountain to burn incense and pray to Buddha, but judging by the atmosphere outside the temple, Zhong Xingyue guessed his purpose today was probably not so simple.
"Isn't this suspicious?"
Looking at the group guarding the entrance, Xu Fan squinted and spoke.
This martial arts exchange meeting was gathering masters from various factions, and it was quite normal to set checkpoints at the entrance to eliminate the riff-raff.
If there had been no checkpoint, Xu Fan would have found it odd.
"Alright, let's go in."
Taking a deep breath, Xu Fan said to Zhong Xingyue, and led the two Living Corpses of the Green Rakshasa towards the temple entrance.
"Stop!"
Before Xu Fan and his group could enter Bao Lian Temple, the guards stationed at the door immediately stretched out their hands to block them.
"Gentlemen, Bao Lian Temple is hosting a private gathering today; entry of outsiders is not permitted; please step aside."
The ones who had entered Bao Lian Temple just earlier, whether in attire or aura, were clearly superior to this youth, and it was unmistakable to know that they were martial cultivators of great houses.
Naturally, the guards let them pass without question.
Yet, aside from the guy at the back carrying the longsword, Xu Fan's group truly didn't seem extraordinary at all.
At this moment, the guards stationed outside, composed of subordinates from three major families from Hong Kong Island, did not recognize that the young man in front of them was a young master of their own house.
Lacking strength and background, naturally, they must be turned away.
"Xu Fan, maybe we should just leave..."
The unfriendly demeanor of the guards at the gate made Zhong Xingyue somewhat frightened, and she weakly tugged at Xu Fan's sleeve, hinting they should retreat.
Xu Fan smiled and waved his hand, then walked forward.
"I believe there is a misunderstanding, we're also here to participate in the martial arts exchange meeting."
"Pfft."
Hearing Xu Fan's dignified and composed explanation, a few guards at the door couldn't help but snicker.
The news of the martial arts exchange meeting had spread far and wide, even ordinary citizens of Hong Kong Island had heard of it.
Naturally, there were a few fearless souls keen to see the excitement.
Martial cultivation wasn't something one could grasp without decades of dedication.
Given this youth's age under twenty, no way did he meet the threshold for this martial arts exchange meeting!
"Kid."
At that moment, a leading guard stood out and looked at Xu Fan disdainfully, then scoffed, "This isn't a film set."
"You think hiring a couple of guys to play your subordinates and buying a prop sword is enough to bluff your way through, to sneak in?"
"I'm going to give you a word of advice, quickly get off the mountain, or else, don't blame us if we throw you down, understood?"
The guard spoke coldly, confidently!
You must know that the martial arts exchange meeting was initiated by the three great families of Hong Kong Island!
Long before it began, instructions had been handed down from above to ensure the exchange was not disturbed, using any means necessary!
If this youth continued to make trouble outside the temple gates, even if it meant taking action personally to kill him, it wouldn't matter!
