The Revenge of the Reborn Supreme Sovereign-Chapter 260 - 256: Can You Shut Up! (3)

The several-hour flight passed by slowly while Qin Fan was in his turtle breath trance. When the cabin announcement finally sounded, he yanked off his eye mask and queued up to disembark.

However, as soon as he stepped out of the airport, Qin Fan abruptly halted.

It was because Ye Jizu, who was right behind him, was staring down at his phone, motionless, his face deathly pale.

"What's the matter?" Qin Fan frowned at Ye Jizu's behavior.

"Lord... Lord... Lord Qin—!" Ye Jizu lifted his head to look at Qin Fan, his voice trembling with uncontrollable panic.

"What on earth is wrong with you?" Displeasure was written all over Qin Fan's impatient face.

A mighty Hou of the Underworld, and he's acting as meek as a maiden?

Staring at the phone screen displaying over a hundred missed calls and hundreds of messages, Ye Jizu didn't scrutinize each one. With a tap, he returned to the message he had been viewing before and, hearing Qin Fan's impatient tone, passed the phone over.

With cold sweat pouring down his pale face, he stammered, "Lord Qin, look—!"

What the hell is this? Sensing the matter was serious, Qin Fan took the phone from Ye Jizu with a somber expression and knitted brows.

The next instant, murderous intent surged from him, and a chilling energy burst forth.

It wasn't because of the Martial Arts Life and Death Order issued by Lan Xiaosheng. It was the line threatening to "kill his entire family and exterminate his nine clans" that had truly enraged Qin Fan.

"Lord Qin—!" Ye Jizu shuddered violently under Qin Fan's imposing aura and cried out in fear.

"Reply in my name: Battle!!!" Qin Fan spat out the ice-cold words, thrust the phone back into Ye Jizu's hand, then turned and continued walking.

Three days, is it? That's more than enough!

Once he acquired the Alchemy Furnace and advanced his Realm to the Middle Stage of Foundation Establishment, his Prison Suppressing Body alone would give him the ability to protect himself. A mere Lan Xiaosheng, regardless of whether he was at the Transformation Realm or a Grandmaster, would be nothing more than a stepping stone on his path.

"Yes, Lord Qin!"

Facing the threat of annihilating three bloodlines and exterminating nine clans, Ye Jizu knew there was no turning back for Qin Fan, and none for himself either.

Ye Jizu quickly typed out a reply, put his phone back in his pocket, and hurried to catch up with Qin Fan, his heart throbbing in panic. "Lord Qin, are you confident? A Martial Arts Life and Death Order... this is a fight to the death!"

"Can you just shut up!" Qin Fan stopped dead in his tracks, turned around, and snapped at Ye Jizu for his incessant, panicked babbling.

The furious rebuke made Ye Jizu, who was already fraught with panic, recoil. His legs began to tremble, and a cold sweat broke out across his skin.

"Lord Qin, I'm sorry!" Ye Jizu responded weakly, his voice quivering with a sense of grievance.

This was a duel to the death. If Qin Fan was defeated by Lan Xiaosheng, it meant that he, Ye Jizu, and even the entire Ye Family would be finished. How could he possibly control his state of mind under such pressure? How could he stop the frantic thoughts and overwhelming emotions? After all, losing meant death and could even destroy the very foundation of the old Ye Family.

If he had a choice, Ye Jizu wouldn't dare take this gamble. He truly wouldn't.

Unfortunately, there were no choices. From the day Zhan Long returned seeking revenge, all of this was set in stone.

Faced with Ye Jizu's weak, trembling apology, Qin Fan had intended to soften his tone, but he swallowed the words before they left his lips. He couldn't stand melodrama from others, nor would he engage in it himself.

Ignoring Ye Jizu's apology, he turned and continued walking.

Just then, the phone in his pocket began to vibrate.

Pulling it out, he saw it was a call from Ye Congjun. After a slight hesitation, Qin Fan answered, "Elder Ye, what's the matter?"

"Friend Qin, Lan Xiaosheng's Martial Arts Life and Death Order is causing quite a stir! Are you confident about the duel on Emei Mountain's Golden Summit in three days?" Despite having weathered countless storms and tribulations, Ye Congjun's tone was incredibly calm, like an elder showing concern for a junior. He was fully aware that the Ye Family's fate was now tied to Qin Fan's—they would prosper or perish together. Yet, he still displayed the profound composure of a seasoned veteran who had seen it all. He understood that what was to be, would be.

"Three days from now, I shall use Lan Xiaosheng's head to broadcast my might, Elder Ye! I've said it before: as long as the Ye Family does not disappoint me, there will come a day when you plant your banner at the very peak of Huaxia! I do not break my word. Not in the past, not now, and not ever!" Qin Fan said calmly, taking a deep breath.

He spoke as if Lan Xiaosheng were some insignificant nobody.

"Friend Qin, I believe in you!" Ye Congjun laughed heartily. 𝚏𝗿𝗲𝐞𝐰𝚎𝕓𝐧𝚘𝘃𝗲𝐥.𝐜𝚘𝕞

Qin Fan responded with a light chuckle, then ended the call and continued on his way.

Behind him, Ye Jizu internally cursed his own lack of resolve, his face flushing with shame. Even Qin Fan, Lan Xiaosheng's direct enemy, was calm and fearless. What right did he, Ye Jizu, have to panic?

How shameful, truly shameful!

After his brief moment of anger, Qin Fan's mood lightened, and he mentally set aside Lan Xiaosheng's challenge. Under Ye Jizu's guidance, the two of them hurried toward the location of the secret underground auction.

After their invitations were verified and they underwent a body search, they passed through a series of checkpoints and security mechanisms in an underground passage and finally arrived at the auction hall.

Under the dim lighting, no one recognized the new arrivals as Qin Fan, the man who had shone with Divine Light at the Martial Arts Tournament, or Ye Jizu, the Patriarch of Lingnan who had begun consolidating the powers of the entire Southern region.

FLICK!

Shortly after Qin Fan and his companion took their seats, a single beam of white light cut through the dim, yellowish glow, illuminating the auction stage in the center.

Immediately afterward, a stoic-faced, middle-aged man walked out confidently, holding a wooden gavel.

"Everyone present here is an extraordinary individual, so I won't waste any more words. The auction begins! Bring out the first item!" The middle-aged man held up the gavel and rapped it against the auction block.

The next moment, a voluptuous woman in a qipao walked to the middle-aged man's side, carrying a tray draped with a red cloth.

Without further ado, the man whisked the cloth away.

"This is the crown worn by the thirteenth Queen of England. The starting bid is ten million, and each subsequent bid must be at least one million higher!"

Completely uninterested, Qin Fan simply tilted his head back and yawned.

One by one, the auction items were sold as time passed.

The starting prices climbed from ten million to over one hundred million.

But throughout the entire process, neither Qin Fan nor Ye Jizu made a single sound. Qin Fan was only there for the Alchemy Furnace, and Ye Jizu was only there to accompany him. Given the circumstances, their silence was perfectly normal.

The auction hall fell silent once again. The middle-aged man, whose expression hadn't changed all night, scanned the room, banged his gavel, and declared in a deep voice, "The final two items!"

"Bring it out!" the man shouted again.

Everyone in the auction hall held their breath. In anticipation of the grand finale, all eyes followed the shifting lights toward the tunnel from which the items were presented.
