"Oh right, Ancestor, didn't you say you had something to say to Teacher Ye?"
Xuanyuan Feng also asked curiously.
Hearing their questions,
At this moment, Xuan Yuanfeng's expression turned serious. He took a deep breath, his gaze sweeping over everyone present, finally settling on Ye Ran...
After a long pause, he nodded and said in a low voice:
"I do have something important to discuss with you, because I received some news beforehand." Xuan Yuanfeng's voice was low and solemn.
"The Joker from the Superpowered Individuals Alliance of the Lighthouse Country has arrived in China..."
“joker........”
The moment the name was uttered, the atmosphere in the room fell silent.
Xuanyuan Jing looked puzzled, while Bai Xu frowned and said:
"You mean that Joker is the one you told me about who rose to prominence in a short period of time and became the new king of the Superpowered Alliance??"
“Yes, it’s him…” Xuan Yuanfeng nodded in acknowledgment.
Upon hearing this, Ye Ran's eyes lit up slightly, and he murmured to himself:
Is he very strong?
“Very strong,” Xuan Yuanfeng said in a low voice. “To be precise, he is the only one so far who has perfectly integrated the Superpower Alliance. You must understand, a loose Superpower Alliance is enough to rival the entire superhuman power of our Dragon Kingdom. Now, a perfectly cohesive Superpower Alliance is a behemoth to any power in the world…”
At this point, a hint of apprehension, but also a touch of relief, flickered in Xuan Yuanfeng's eyes.
"Fortunately, in my previous contacts with Joker, I didn't sense much hostility from him towards the Dragon Kingdom. However, he seemed to harbor some hostility towards a very few specific forces within the Dragon Kingdom..."
"A very small number??" Ye Ran asked in surprise upon hearing Xuan Yuanfeng's words.
Xuan Yuanfeng's gaze fell on Ye Ran again, and he said, "This is what I wanted to tell you. Since he came to the Dragon Kingdom, he seems to have been doing something related to you..."
Ye Ran raised an eyebrow, clearly surprised by the news. "It has something to do with me? I have no connection with Joker whatsoever!"
Xuanyuan Feng shook his head and explained:
"At first, I also thought this had nothing to do with you. However, according to intelligence, the first place where Joker was spotted was the Zhang family ancestral hall." Xuan Yuanfeng paused here,
He looked at Ye Ran: "That's right, it's the Zhang family whose secrets you exposed before... At that time, the entire Zhang family was being secretly executed because of this matter. During the execution, our people discovered the Joker hiding in the shadows..."
"So powerful??" Hearing Xuan Yuanfeng's words, Ye Ran looked at Xuan Yuanfeng in astonishment.
"To be able to find the Joker who deliberately hid... this executioner must be no ordinary person... The Dragon Elders' Society is indeed full of hidden talents..."
"Uh...maybe it's because of my chuunibyou (middle school syndrome)..."
"What??"
"That's not the point. The point is, the Joker is in the Zhang family..." Xuan Yuanfeng interrupted Ye Ran's wandering thoughts.
At this moment, Bai Xu interjected, "What does Joker's going to the Zhang family have to do with Ye Ran???"
Xuanyuan Feng nodded and continued:
"So I conducted a more in-depth investigation. I discovered that since arriving in the Dragon Kingdom, the places Joker has visited are all the families that previously hunted him down. I suspect he's here for revenge..."
Then, Xuanyuan Feng continued listing:
"The Zhu family of the Hundred Birds clan was wiped out by Bai Xu and his men; the Yin family of the Ten Thousand Serpents clan was turned into an amusement park by the military; and the Zhang family of the Literary Pen clan has also been executed. And those smaller families, you're now preparing to send them to prison..."
At this point, Xuanyuan Feng couldn't help but give a wry smile.
"The families that the Joker sought revenge against all seem to have been wiped out, directly or indirectly, because of you. To be honest, anyone who didn't know better would think you were the Joker..."
All eyes were on Ye Ran. Ye Ran awkwardly touched his nose and coughed lightly, saying:
"That does seem like a coincidence. So, where is Joker planning to go next?"
Xuanyuan Feng's expression became even more serious, and he slowly said:
"This is what I wanted to tell you. According to the file analysis, of all the families that hunted the Joker before, only one is still safe and sound. That is the Yue family."
Upon hearing this name, Ye Ran's expression clearly changed.
Xuan Yuanfeng noticed this and continued, "You and Le Enjing from the Freedom Tavern address each other as aunt and niece, right?"
Ye Ran nodded, his brows furrowed.
Xuanyuan Feng sighed and murmured, "What a tragic fate..."
He continued:
"Back then, the Joker, a commoner, fell in love with Yue Enjing, the eldest daughter of the Yue family. However, the Yue family forcibly separated them, and they were hunted down by all the other families. The Joker suffered so much, but now he's rising to power..."
"Wait!!" Ye Ran interrupted Xuan Yuanfeng, saying incredulously.
"You mean, that Joker is Wang Xianghe???"
Xuanyuan Feng nodded.
Seeing Xuan Yuanfeng nod, Ye Ran's mind went blank.
"This is impossible... He was already dead back then... And... his strength is simply too..."
Ye Ran stammered,
Xuanyuan Feng, standing to the side, gave a wry smile:
"Regarding strength, think about how long it took you to achieve extraordinary status. Compared to you, their achievement is probably more reasonable..."
"Now is not the time to dwell on this," Xuan Yuanfeng continued.
He looked at Ye Ran:
"I suspect that Wang Xianghe's next target is the Yue family, and possibly even your aunt..."
"Bang!!!"
Xuanyuan Feng hadn't finished speaking yet,
An explosion rang out.
Ye Ran shot off like an arrow, flying directly southeast.
Without a word, Xuanyuan Jing transformed into a ray of golden light.
He also flew off in the direction Ye Ran was heading.
"Ye Ran and the others..."
While Xuanyuan Feng was still staring in astonishment at this scene,
Bai Xu patted him on the shoulder:
"What are you still standing there for? Come with me!!"
After saying that,
Bai Xu's void power surged.
The two figures vanished in an instant...
And at this moment
At the bar of the Liberty Tavern,
Wang Xianghe was holding a wine glass and behaving like a brother with the bartender next to him...
