The Man In Rage novel Chapter 2019

It's Chu Tianfan! Chu Tianfan has returned!

When that name rang out from within Tang Xian's head, an unprecedented sense of dread washed over him.

His wrinkled face turned ashen, and his expression turned grim.

“W-What's up with you, Mr. Tang? You're frightening me!"

The change in Tang Xian's demeanor alarmed the second elder beside him.

“Ah! Kill me, kill me...”

At that exact moment, Chu Zhengliang, who had been sealed at the peak of Mount Chumen, suddenly let out a devastating roar.

His voice was carried by the cold night winds into the hall.

That bellow that came out of nowhere had the two elders shuddering in fear. The head of the elders himself jumped up and grabbed a blade from the table, looking to slash at the first person who might come at him.

However, very quickly, they realized that they had overreacted.

“M-Mr. Tang. It's the head of the Chu family...” the second elder explained.

That came to the head of elders as some reprieve, but he nonetheless struggled to settle the unease he felt inside.

“For a moment, I thought that he had arrived,” Tang Xian said amidst his lingering fear.

“Who are you referring to?” asked the second elder, confounded.

Looking at him, the head of elders enunciated, word for word, “Chu Tianfan!”

Thud!

The second elder immediately fell off the couch.

There were some people whose name was still capable of driving horror into the hearts of those who heard it long after his passing.

Both of the elders were people who had experienced that major battle from many years ago where Ye Fan single-handedly stormed the Chu Sect, swept away the Supremes from the Chu family, and destroyed the Chu Sect's protective formation firsthand.

Had it not coincided with Chu Yuan's emergence from his retreat, the ancient power they had possessed for centuries might have come to ruin at the hands of that man named Chu Tianfan.

“H-Have you lost your mind, Mr. Tang? Chu Tianfan's dead. He's f*cking dead as a doornail for a d*mn long time. How could the dead possibly come back to life? Unless you mean to tell me that ghosts exist?”

The second elder laughed as he picked himself up off the floor, using humor to mask the panic and fear he felt inside.

What the head of elders had to say afterward, however, shook him to the core.

“Do you still remember what the Fifth Elder said before he passed? Just think about it. Who could have struck such fear within the Fifth Elder? Who possessed the ability to kill him? Who also bore such hatred toward the Chu Sect? Who else could it be, apart from Chu Tianfan?”

The second elder was positively stupefied. With a glazed expression, he regarded the head of elders while quivering. “D-Don't you scare me, Mr. Tang. Did we not witness Chu Tianfan end his own life with our own eyes? How could he possibly still be alive?”

“We've never found his body, even now, haven't we?” the head of elders noted.

What ensued was silence. Dead silence.

Once an idea manifested, one would quickly discover how prior points of contention would seemingly come together to validate that notion.

The death of the Fifth Elder, the fall of the King of India, and the mysterious disappearance of the envoys from the various countries in the earlier period of time all seemed to indicate the emergence of someone both formidable and elusive.

It was thus highly possible that that person could very well be the one who had been pushed over the edge by the entire world; the Hall Master of Dragon God Hall and the Unrivalled Supreme—Chu Tianfan!

Panting vigorously, the second elder was feeling quite overwhelmed.

As logical as Mr. Tang had put it, it can't possibly be. How could he still be alive? Pierced by tens of thousands of swords, Ye Fan could not have survived even if his body was made of steel.

“Of course, all of this is purely my conjecture, so perhaps I had been worrying myself for nothing. Out of caution, though, we should still take care of some loose ends.”

Tang Xian's eyes darkened, and he appeared extremely solemn.
