A Dish Best Served Cold (The Man In Rage)

Chapter 2324 Preparing To Flee

“I think, perhaps the Unrivalled Supreme is wrong?”

“It must be an exaggeration to scare people.”

“It's just a tree. How could it possibly be related to the end of the world?”

“Exactly, and it's not that we are misjudging him. Over the past year, that divine tree has greatly benefited our martial arts world. In just one short year, we have witnessed the natural treasures of Mount Kransbay nurture several grandmasters. There were even one or two who became supreme grandmasters. But now, the Unrivalled Supreme wants to destroy it. Isn't this cutting off their path to climb upward?”

Everyone was chiming in, voicing their opinions one after another.

Of course, most people chose not to believe Ye Fan.

However, there were also those who expressed doubt.

“If this tree truly benefits us and does no harm, then why did Symborsus risk his life to push open the Sky Gate back then?”

“Could it be that Symborsus was actually good and intended to help our martial arts world?”

Suddenly, everyone fell silent.

At this moment, someone else continued to speak.

“Also, I heard that the Unrivalled Supreme has been wreaking havoc at the peak of Mount Kransbay. In the end, despite the relentless bombardment that lasted for three full days, not a single leaf or branch of the divine tree was destroyed. I believe everyone understands the power of the

Unrivalled Supreme. Yet, even so, the divine tree could still withstand such damage. Clearly, the tree is extraordinarily abnormal, far from anything that can be understood by common sense.”

As soon as someone spoke these words, the atmosphere in the room fell into a more resounding silence.

Clearly, some people had already started to waver.

However, after a long debate, everyone was still unable to make a decision.

Ultimately, everyone's gazes fell entirely on Sword Saint, who was presiding over the meeting.

Clearly, they were hoping that Sword Saint could offer some constructive suggestions.

“I've heard everyone's opinions. Now, I would like to share my own perspective. Some say that the Unrivalled Supreme wants to destroy the divine tree out of selfishness as he wants to cut off our path to ascension and hinder the development of the martial arts world. I think this is complete nonsense. Everyone has had interactions with the Unrivalled Supreme for a long time now. From the battle in the rainforest to the matter of the spirit fruits and then there was the threat of Chu Sect and after that was what Symborsus did. Every time the martial arts world falls into a desperate situation, the Unrivalled Supreme always steps forward in time, turning the tide at the last moment, making every effort to save the desperate situation. If he had ulterior motives, why would he repeatedly save the martial arts world? In any case, from what I know about the Unrivalled Supreme, he is certainly not a narrow-minded person. He must have truly discovered some information that we are unaware of. Of course, I dare not assert that everything Chu Tianfan says is true. However, history and what we've been through have proven time and again that in certain aspects, the perception and acuity of the Unrivalled Supreme surpasses that of most of us.”

The words of Sword Saint were indeed reasonable and well-founded.

For a moment, the voices questioning Ye Fan undoubtedly became much quieter.

“So, do you mean that we should help the Unrivalled Supreme and destroy the divine tree together?” someone asked Sword Saint.

Sword Saint shook his head. “I don't think we have to do that. I believe we should first send experts in the relevant fields to conduct a thorough study and research on Mount Kransbay. Even if we can't identify the species of the tree, at the very least, we can delve deeply into understanding its characteristics as it will provide a basis for our upcoming decisions!” Sword Saint suggested.

His words, undoubtedly, resonated with many people present.

In the end, everyone unanimously decided to first dispatch a research team to study the region around Mount Kransbay.

And so, in the following days, under the leadership of the International Martial Arts Union, a large research team consisting of scientists, martial artists, botanists, geographers, sociologists, and many others from countless fields, set off toward the Mount Kransbay region.

The subject of the divine tree became a field of curiosity overnight and was eagerly pursued by countries worldwide.

At War God Castle, Sword Saint and Ye Qingtian were still discussing matters about the divine tree.

“Sword Saint, how is it going? Can our research team from China set off now?” Ye Qingtian asked.

“Indeed, they have already departed on a private jet,” said Sword Saint.

Ye Qingtian nodded. “Rush them. Have them speed up the research progress and draw conclusions as soon as possible to avoid complications that might arise from delay. If, by any chance, we really miss the best opportunity to destroy this tree, I'm afraid we'll regret it.”

Deep down, Ye Qingtian still believed in what Ye Fan had said.

Nevertheless, without looking into it, there was nothing he could do.

Before the results of the investigation were released, it was indeed inconvenient for them to take countermeasures.

“Father!”

At that moment, the sound of footsteps echoed from behind them.

It was the Prince of Fighters, and he was leading a few people in.

“Oh? Wuya, why are you here?” Ye Qingtian and the others asked.

“Mr. Ye, you're here too. I came here to seek permission to also conduct an on-site investigation at Mount Kransbay. Moreover, I have a friend who is interested in coming along to take a look.”

In the midst of their conversation, Mo Wuya turned around to look at a refined and courteous young man standing next to him.

“Nanhai, what are you waiting for? Hurry up and greet them,” urged Mo Wuya.

The man was slightly startled, showing a hint of fear as he adjusted his glasses. He then hurriedly paid his respects to Sword Saint and Ye Qingtian.

“Hello everyone, I'm Zhang Nanhai, a friend of Wuya,” Zhang Nanhai said a bit nervously.

“Oh? Zhang Nanhai? Could it be that you are Zhang Nanhai, the formation genius who recently rose to fame in China, the creator of the Nine Dragons Eight Trigrams Formation?” Ye Qingtian asked in surprise upon hearing this.

“Hahaha, yes, Mr. Ye. He is Zhang Nanhai!” Mo Wuya laughed from the side.

“He's really young, no? What an outstanding youth! All right then, let Wuya take you there. The land of Kransbay is the sacred place of China. The otherworldly celestial phenomena there may also inspire your understanding of formations.”

Ye Qingtian agreed to their request.

After expressing his gratitude to Sword Saint and the War God, Zhang Nanhai, accompanied by Mo Wuya, set off for Mount Kransbay. Exclusive content © by Nô(v)el/Dr/ama.Org.

This was Zhang Nanhai's first formal appearance before the supreme authority of the martial arts world of China.

Presumably, Ye Qingtian and Sword Saint never dreamed that this seemingly naive and youthful junior before them would soon become a figure known to everyone in the world!

When the world began to research the divine tree, Ye Fan had already returned to the secret realm of India.

He shared his recent experiences with Duanmu Wan'er.

It seemed that Duanmu Wan'er had anticipated this all along and wasn't too surprised. “Ye Fan, I've already told you before. The Universe Tree is indeed from the Celestial Realm and is not something the power of the mortal world can destroy. Of course, when it was still in its budding phase, perhaps you could have destroyed it with brute force. But now, nourished by heaven and earth energy, the Universe Tree has already crossed the budding stage and entered the growth stage. At this moment, the Universe Tree's branches and trunk are harder than any of the most solid treasures in the human world. It's already beyond your ability to destroy. So, it's too late. In the not-too-distant future, the Universe Tree will continue to grow larger. The day when the power flowing from the Sky

Gate can no longer sustain it will mark the beginning of its calamity upon mankind. When the time comes, everything will be devoured, the world will turn into a purgatory, and the Earth will become desolate! Ye Fan, you still have some time, so start preparing. This secret realm exists independently from Earth. During this time, feel free to invite your family and friends into the secret realm. At the very least, they could still be saved after the end of the world.”

She didn't care about the fate of the Earth; all she cared about was Ye Fan.

As long as Ye Fan was in the secret realm by then, he would be able to avoid the disaster.
