God of War Ye Fan: Sexy sister-in-law insisted on marrying me - Chapter 981 - 981: Mass "Shutdown"! How Is He So Skilled?
“Ye Fan… you… Elder Qi…”
The No. 2 Soul Hall Envoy stared at Ye Fan in shock, hoping to glean some information from his expression.
But after observing Ye Fan for a long time, the envoy could discern nothing. With a face full of anticipation, he began scanning his surroundings.
Ye Fan let out a cold snort. “Stop looking! Elder Qi probably doesn’t have time to come help you anymore… You have two choices now: either surrender obediently, and I might spare your lives, or resist—and I’ll have no choice but to kill you all!”
Ye Fan spoke with extreme calmness, and there was hardly any fluctuation in telekinesis on him. Yet, the seven Soul Hall envoys felt their hair stand on end in an instant.
Because they knew Ye Fan truly had the power to back his words.
Based on prior intelligence, Sin City still hadn’t opened its gates, indicating some kind of major upheaval inside. By previous patterns, Ye Fan shouldn’t have been able to leave Sin City alone.
But now, Ye Fan was here!
This made all earlier speculations plausible!
Ye Fan must have reached some sort of agreement with the Outer Realm Beings tied to Sin City. Otherwise, without any transportation tools, how could he have arrived in the Ancient Martial World so quickly?
Where did Elder Qi go?
Judging from Ye Fan’s words, he seems to have already confronted Elder Qi?
Thinking back to the scenes Guo Li revealed earlier—about Elder Qi devouring souls—the No. 2 Soul Hall Envoy suddenly connected the dots. “The Elder… wait, you… holy crap… you didn’t, did you?”
He was distraught. Why would someone as strong as Elder Qi, above the Golden Core Realm, suddenly self-destruct and devour Ancient Martial Family experts?
Now, it made sense. It wasn’t of his own will—it was forced by Ye Fan!
It had to be!
Ye Fan offered no denial, cutting off the No. 2 Soul Hall Envoy mid-sentence. “You’re absolutely correct! What you guessed is exactly what happened… Elder Qi is no more.”
What?
As Ye Fan’s words sank in, the seven Soul Hall envoys reacted with thunderstruck expressions, sticking their heads out like stunned groundhogs.
So, Elder Qi won’t be showing up?
What the…?!
Ye Fan really got rid of him!
Then what’s the point of even fighting anymore?
Today in the Ancient Martial World, with this massive operation drawing tens of thousands to the gathering, the crux of the plan was Elder Qi’s strategic support. With Elder Qi as the trump card, if anything went wrong, he could completely suppress the situation, which gave everyone confidence to act boldly.
Previously, Elder Qi had stated that if Ye Fan meddled in the affairs of the Ancient Martial World, he would intercept him.
Now, everything was ruined!
After a brief moment of shock, the seven Soul Hall envoys fell into utter despair.
Although there were still hundreds of Ancient Martial Families deeply tied to the Soul Hall on the scene—alongside Martial Emperor and Martial Saint experts—their combat strength wasn’t weak, but the Soul Hall envoys didn’t feel optimistic.
Ye Fan managed to defeat even Elder Qi, so what were these Ancient Martial Families worth in his eyes? Nothing but trash!
“Third Brother, maybe we should surrender? Surrendering spares half-lives!”
Several Soul Hall envoys began showing signs of retreat!
But after a brief hesitation, the No. 2 Soul Hall Envoy bellowed angrily, “Are you kidding me?! Do you all lack backbone? At worst, we’re at the Peak of the Divinity Transformation Realm. Several of us even possess Foundation Establishment Eighth Rank strength. Ye Fan is merely at the Foundation Establishment Realm and hasn’t broken through to the Golden Core Realm. Why shouldn’t we fight?”
“But, Second Brother, Ye Fan’s bloodline has a huge suppressive effect on us! We can’t stand against it!”
“Yeah! If we confront Ye Fan head-on, we certainly won’t end well!”
Though there were sporadic opposing voices, most of the envoys began to simmer with resolve after considering the No. 2 Soul Hall Envoy’s words.
Indeed!
They were all at the Foundation Establishment Realm, equipped with Soul Hall’s unique cultivation techniques. Surrendering without even fighting—what would that mean?
Even without Elder Qi, they couldn’t give up that easily!
After all, the Soul Hall had poured centuries of effort into cultivating its influence within the Ancient Martial World. To surrender now would mean the end of it all!
Besides, even if they survived, the higher-ups in the Soul Hall would never spare them.
“Everyone, let’s attack together and kill Ye Fan first!”
A sinister gleam flashed through the No. 2 Soul Hall Envoy’s eyes. His telekinesis surged to its peak as his body flickered, preparing to strike Ye Fan.
But just as the No. 2 Soul Hall Envoy moved, Ye Fan acted too!
Teleportation!
Ye Fan disappeared in a blur, transforming into a phantom and vanishing from the spot.
The next moment, he reappeared directly in front of the No. 2 Soul Hall Envoy, extending his hand to press the back of the envoy’s neck.
Then came No. 3, No. 4, No. 5…
Following the shutdown instructions Qi Xiao had explained earlier, Ye Fan instantly incapacitated all the Soul Hall envoys one by one!
Thud! Thud! Thud!
The seven Soul Hall envoys had no time to react to what happened. All telekinesis waves in their bodies halted completely, and their phantom forms collapsed to the ground, transforming into puddles of sludge!
“What? What? What?”
The sudden shift stunned everyone present, leaving the remaining envoys utterly bewildered!
“How do you know about our shutdown mechanism? Holy crap… we’re doomed…”
The Soul Hall envoys, fully aware of their inactive telekinesis waves within, collapsed in despair.
If their strength remained, they could still try to fight!
Instead, before they could even take action, they were instantly disabled! Forced offline!
The key issue was that the shutdown mechanism was the Soul Hall’s greatest secret.
Other than the elders in the Soul Hall hierarchy, no one else could possibly know this about them.
Confirmed!
Ye Fan had definitely subdued Elder Qi. Otherwise, Ye Fan couldn’t have known their mechanism!
“How I know doesn’t matter! Now, I’ll ask again: do you submit—or do you die?”
Ye Fan was basking in the fulfillment of leveraging Qi Xiao’s efforts from the night before to feel the thrill of being “the boss,” collecting rent from subordinates to rapidly advance his cultivation technique!
All he had to do was lie back, and his strength surged quickly through the absorption of the Red Silk Tyrant Body. It couldn’t possibly be more enjoyable.
A single Qi Xiao brought Ye Fan tremendous cultivation gain. If he bound a few more Soul Hall envoys, how astounding would the result be?
Now Ye Fan could understand why Shuofang, one of the Outer Realm Beings, was called “Boss” by his subordinates!
They were all just workers for the boss!
Born to toil as cattle and horses!
Anyway, these Soul Hall envoys were far from righteous characters, so Ye Fan felt no guilt using them to his advantage.
“I submit! Absolutely submit!”
“Young Master Ye, spare us! We’re truly loyal—I’ve wanted to pledge allegiance to Young Master Ye for a long time now!”
Integrity?
Dignity?
Nonexistent!
At this point, the Soul Hall envoys pledged allegiance faster than the speed of light, terrified that even a second’s hesitation might lead Ye Fan to kill them outright…
