Chapter 476 - A One Hundred Year Old Immortal State Warrior (2/2)
Chen Fan’s eyes lit up as curiosity flashed across his face.
By then Chen Fan was only interested in a handful of names and General Ye was one of them. Chen Fan wagered that this General Ye must be the same person that Red Sparrow and Oleg spoke of. If he was able to earn such high praise from the Russian general Oleg, General Ye must be unimaginably powerful.
When Chen Fan spoke the name, the air in the pavilion seemed to have chilled significantly.
Hua Yunfeng’s face darkened and became as heavy as an anvil. After a while, he nodded.
“You are right. But I have come to the realization that the fault was not entirely General Ye’s. My Ancestral Chief had brought his destruction upon himself. He was foolish enough to work for the j.a.panese army and fought against the very people he had sworn to protect. In the end, General Ye killed him near the Eastern Sea. My Ancestral Chief was the only Immortal State warrior in the last hundred years who had died in the hands of another Immortal State warrior.”
“Work for the j.a.panese?”
Chen Fan snorted derisively.
Hua Family’s Ancestral Chief had betrayed his own people and capitulated to the j.a.panese. Chen Fan would have killed him for that if he was alive during that time.
“Because of that, the Green Gang was eliminated in China. I felt guilty and ashamed of my ancestral chief so I didn’t fight back. I also offered my service to the nation and swore to protect Zhong Hai as a penance for my Ancestral Chief’s sin.” Hua Yunfeng said ashamedly.
The old man had never disclosed this part of his past to anyone, not even to Cheng Danqin.
“Those are all in the past and should be forgotten. However, two days ago, Lin Family came to me and wanted to restore the former alliance. He wanted to rally me, the Hong Sect and the Dragon Hall together and seek revenge from General Ye and Kunlun.”
Hua Yunfeng let out a wry smile.
“So Hong Sect has Immortal State warriors as well then?” Chen Fan was slightly taken aback. “No wonder the Lin Family would offer help to the Hong Sect. ”
Hong Sect had been the first opponent Chen Fan had encountered ever since his rebirth. He had dealt with Linhu, Lei Qianjue, Zoro, and Hu Zongxiu. Even recently, he had just killed the entire Dark Moon unit.
Hua Yunfeng’s face darkened after Chen Fan had told him what had happened at Jiang Bei.
“So the Lin Family and the Hong Sect are already working together. Without the approval of the Ancestral Patriarch of the Hong Sect, the sect leader would never be able to dispatch the entire Dark Moon. I don’t think it will be long before you will have to take on those ancient legends.” Hua Yunfeng said solemnly.
“I don’t understand why the immortal state warriors from the Hong Sect and the Lin Family had to hide themselves? Are they afraid of nuclear weapons?” Chen Fan narrowed his eyes and asked curiously.
Cheng Danqin and Yukis.h.i.+ro Sa rounded their eyes and looked to the old man expectantly.
“They didn’t want to hide, they had to.”
Hua Yunfeng chuckled a little.
“A hundred years ago, there were many Immortal State warriors around the globe., and they were behind nearly all the historical moments throughout human history. However, ever since the United States of America and USSR invented the nuclear weapon, they were terrified and retreated backstage. However, that was not the case in China.”
A flicker of admiration lit up in Hua Yunfeng’s eyes. “China as a nation had been impoverished and weak. She didn’t have nuclear weapons until ten years later. Therefore, nearly all the Immortal State Warriors were brought to heel by one person: General Ye.”
“By one person?”
Cheng Danqin exclaimed.
Even Yukis.h.i.+ro Sa’s face changed color after hearing the revelation. However, Chen Fan seemed to be unaffected.
“Indeed.”
Hua Yunfeng nodded and then continued with a great measure of deference.
“General Ye used to be a bandit, believe it or not, and he was about the same age as me. However, he was extraordinarily talented and had become a Grandmaster all by himself. Later on, He joined the revolutionary army and quickly rose to fame. He was then tasked to create the Kunlun Unit. It’s a special force that consists of men and women with supernatural abilities.”
“Like a king of dragons, he leapt across Mount Kunlun with three million dragon warriors in tow…”
As Hua Yunfeng recited a long-forgotten poem to praise the mighty General, Chen Fan finally reckoned that this man truly deserved his attention. Meanwhile, Cheng Danqin was shocked beyond belief.
“This is how Kunlun was founded. Later, the Kunlun unit became the Special Case Department as you know it.” Hua Yunfeng said: “General Ye had led the Kunlun and swept across China. He battled against countless sects and families. During those intense battles, he had finally reached the Immortal State and became a legend.”
“After that, General Ye was practically invincible.”
Hua Yunfeng rose to his feet and paced in the pavilion excitedly.
“He killed my Ancestral Chief and crushed the Green Gang. Hong Sect fought back but they were eventually pushed out of China. Seeing the old alliance had crumbled, Dragon Hall also escaped China and so did the Square Tower. Both now preside over Tai Wan. General Ye had eventually made his way to the Lin Family and forced Lin Shuming to retreat into seclusion for sixty years ”
“After that, General Ye had finally quelled the restless forces in China and created a peaceful environment in the nation for sixty years. He was regarded as the most powerful man in China even by people outside of China.”
Hua Yunfeng heaved a sigh and said.
The story had made the listener’s blood boil. They wished that they were born in a different time and were able to witness General Ye’s G.o.dly might.
Chen Fan half-closed his eyes and cracked a smile.
“The most powerful man in China…”
“Ye Qincang of Kunlun!”
