Jaw-Dropping Son-in-Law

Chapter 2239

As Chen Nan and her family rushed to the border, Lu Tianhe, the Commander In Chief of Jiangdong military base, also received news of Ye Fan's death.

He was visibly shaken, wondering how this could have happened.

"How could this be? During the war with Chu Sect, General Chu was such a heroic figure who single- handedly turned the tide of battle and saved our country from the brink of destruction! How could this happen after such a short time? What happened during this period of time?"

A deep sense of sorrow and despair filled Lu Tianhe's heart. His aging face was full of disbelief and shock.

He had been too preoccupied with military affairs and training his special forces to keep up with the latest news in the martial arts world.

Little did he expect that the first piece of news about the martial arts world that he would hear after such a long time was Ye Fan's death.

Right then, one of Lu Tianhe's subordinates came forward with a report. "General Lu, we have a problem. Captain Ye and the others left their posts and took the Green Dragon Force with them. We don't know where they're headed."

Lu Tianhe's face turned pale when he heard that.

"That's bad! Stop them!" he ordered, then personally led his men in pursuit.

Before long, he intercepted Ye Yuyan and the others on a barren plain.

"General Lu, please don't stop us. Instructor Chu died an unjust death. We must avenge him!" Ye Yuyan, Gao Dazhuang, and the others shouted with great anger, their eyes bloodshot.

Green Dragon Force was now the strongest out of all the military forces.

Back then, it was Ye Fan who had single-handedly raised this formidable squad, and they had been fighting side by side through every battle.

However, ever since Ye Fan decided to disband Dragon God Hall, he entrusted the leadership of the Green Dragon Force to Ye Yuyan and had them join Jiangdong military base.

After all, Lu Tianhe and Ye Fan had been friends for a long time and the Green Dragon Force had originated from Jiangdong. It made perfect sense.

With the Green Dragon Force entrusted to Lu Tianhe, Ye Fan was at ease.

Yet now, news had spread like wildfire that Ye Fan had met his demise and was branded a traitor to the nation. There was also much talk about how his death was justified.

Naturally, Ye Yuyan and the others were not ones to swallow this propaganda, for it was Ye Fan who had led them from the depths of despair toward the light of hope.

He had been their guide, their mentor, and their icon. He had taught them not only martial arts but also given them hope and a new lease on life.

Witnessing their hero's fall from grace and the tarnishing of his reputation as a criminal of the nation and a symbol of disgrace ignited an intense fury within Ye Yuyan and her comrades.

"You're being ridiculous! Even Instructor Chu died at their hands. What can you possibly do by going after them? You'll only lose your lives for nothing!" Lu Tianhe was furious at their insubordination.

"I don't care! We can't just sit by and watch Instructor Chu die in vain! We have to avenge his death and seek justice on his behalf!"

The eyes of Ye Yuyan and her comrades were red with anger, with many of them also shedding tears.

"That's enough! What justice are you talking about? After fighting alongside Instructor Chu for so long, don't you know that there's no justice in this world? Might makes right, and it has always been that way! You going there won't change a darn thing! You'll just be adding a few more corpses to the pile! If you still want to throw your lives away, don't bother! I, Lu Tianhe, can send you to the afterlife right now!"

Lu Tianhe's rage-filled voice echoed throughout the land, shaking the heavens and earth.

Faced with his reproach, Ye Yuyan and her comrades ultimately lowered their heads, but tears still welled up in their eyes and flowed down their cheeks.

"General Lu, w-we just feel sorry for Instructor Chu. He worked so hard to protect this country. But why? Why did things turn out like this? Why do good people not receive good outcomes? Why do those who truly work hard and give everything have to end up with such a terrible fate?"

Feelings of resentment, anger, and injustice surged through each member of the Green Dragon Force.

Perhaps others didn't understand Ye Fan, but they did.

Their Instructor Chu might have been aloof and overbearing at times, but he had never committed any heinous crimes.

All his life, he had been wanting to protect his wife, his family, his friends, and his country.

Even when War God Castle had treated him unjustly, he had still chosen to repay hatred with kindness. He had saved Sword Saint, King of Fighters, and this country's martial arts world from the hands of Chu Sect.

He had always protected his country and his people in his own way.

Yet, in the end, he met with such a tragic ending.

Ye Yuyan and her comrades could not help but feel aggrieved.

Lu Tianhe refrained from scolding them any further and instead walked up to Ye Yuyan, embracing her and offering comfort.

"Silly girl, I understand everything you've said... But please trust me when I say that this world won't remain shrouded in darkness forever. One day, someone like Instructor Chu will appear like a bolt of lightning that strikes the earth here in China. He will clear away the clouds and darkness overhead, then restore order to chaos," Lu Tianhe comforted them and eventually brought them back to the military headquarters.

Upon their return, he ordered all the soldiers to mourn for three days for the fallen General Green Dragon.

"General, we cannot do this! General Green Dragon is now labeled as a national criminal. Mourning for him openly at this time will surely bring us trouble," his subordinate warned him.

"Chu Tianfan was a major general who came from Jiangdong military base, and his contributions to our country during the Chu Sect battle are undeniable. It's only natural for the soldiers in our military district to mourn for him. I dare you to disobey me. I am issuing this order, and I alone will bear the consequences should there be any!"

Lu Tianhe's words carried an air of dominance as he brushed aside all opposition.

In the following days, tens of thousands of generals in Jiangdong military base mourned for the fallen hero with cries that shook the heavens and the earth.

Most of these people might have never even met Ye Fan, but the legend of the General Green Dragon remained.

No matter what Ye Fan had done outside or how the world judged him, they only knew that General Green Dragon was a great hero who came from Jiangdong military base.

Of course, the memorial activities were not limited to just the Jiangdong military base.

Various cities and regions throughout Jiangdong and Jiangbei, two of the largest provinces in China, held spontaneous mourning events.

During the day, flowers were thrown into the Brighfell River, while at night, candles were lit to mourn for Ye Fan.

Countless citizens wept bitterly in Jiangdong as they openly grieved for the fallen hero.

The sorrowful cries of "Mr. Chu will live on forever" echoed throughout the streets and alleys. His legacy had been immortalized and would be remembered for generations to come.

As the scale of the events grew more massive, the news eventually reached Mount Yan. This text is © NôvelDrama/.Org.

Chen Jiuzhou, the Hall Master of War God Castle, was furious. He ordered Mo Wuya, also known as Prince of Fighters, as well as his trusted aide, Zhao Zhenlu, to lead a team of strong fighters to Jiangdong to quell the chaos.

"Those who refuse to repent will be killed without mercy! From now on, no one in Jiangdong will dare to mention Chu Tianfan again!" Chen Jiuzhou declared.

With his order, Zhao Zhenlu led the War God Castle's enforcement team into Jiangdong.

In just a few short days, nearly a thousand people had been arrested.

Fortunately, Mo Wuya intervened and prevented too much bloodshed in Jiangdong.

For him, Ye Fan was his lifelong archenemy. When Ye Fan was alive, he wished he could beat Ye Fan up eight times a day. Nevertheless, Ye Fan's untimely death still left him feeling a sense of loss and sorrow.

Moreover, there was no deep-seated hatred between them. With the downfall of a generation's hero, Mo Wuya actually felt a tinge of melancholy.

In addition to that, the repercussions of Ye Fan's death continued to spread and intensify.

Even Tsukuyomi from Japan launched an attack on Mount Yan, threatening to crush War God Castle.

However, he was stopped in time by Moryana.

The two strongest martial artists of the two nations then battled it out on the coast of Eastsea.

After a fierce battle, Tsukuyomi was ultimately defeated, and Moryana's powerful strike sent him plunging into the depths of the sea. His fate remained uncertain.
