After more than a year, Ye Fan returned to Mount Chumen once again in Norwal City.
The once bustling mountain gate now lay in utter ruin.
All they could see were ruins and remnants everywhere.
The rugged ravines were now filled with wild grass.
It was a scene of utter desolation and ruin.
Just by looking at the ruins before them, they could tell what kind of terrifying battle must have taken place there in the past.
However, that was all in the past now.
Everything was already in the past.
Looking at those scenes, it was probably beyond anyone's imagination that that place was once inhabited by the most formidable power in the martial arts world.
Stepping onto that land again, Ye Fan was filled with mixed emotions, and so was Angie. Her feelings were all tangled up.
“Chu Sect had been glorious for a thousand years. In the end, you, Ye Fan, were the one who caused its downfall. If the Chu family had known back then that this would be the outcome, they would never have driven you out, no matter what.”
On the moss-covered mountain path, a man and a woman journeyed together.
Returning to Mount Chumen, they walked with unprecedented relaxation.
After all, the once majestic Mount Chumen symbolized authority and power.
Every time they stood at the foot of Mount Chumen, they couldn't help but feel a sense of oppression.
Now, the mountain that was Chu Sect had already been toppled. Upon returning to that place, Ye Fan and Angie could only feel a sense of taking a trip down memory lane.
At that moment, Angie was watching everything with a smile playing on her lips as she spoke to Ye Fan.
Angie actually felt quite regretful in her heart.
If only the Chu family hadn't driven Ye Fan out of their home all those years ago.
If Ye Fan had grown up on Mount Chumen.
If that were the case, she and Ye Fan would have been childhood sweethearts, growing up together.
Even in the later days, the man she ended up marrying wouldn't be Chu Qitian, but Ye Fan.
After all, the marriage agreement between Angie and the Chu family was initially set with Ye Fan.
Ye Fan was the eldest son of the Chu family, while Angie was the eldest princess of the Jones family.
The two of them were truly a perfect match.
Regretfully, fates conspired against them.
The arrangement of fate ultimately made the two perfectly miss each other.
Now, even if they reunited, the development and outcome of the story had completely changed.
Ye Fan was already a married man with a family of his own.
Angie no longer had the right to compete for the position of Ye Fan's wife.
Naturally, Ye Fan had no inkling of those regrets harbored in Angie's heart.
He walked along the mountain road, observing as he went.
The emotional turbulence within him was even greater than Angie's.
“Once upon a time, the place I yearned for, even in my dreams, has now turned into a wasteland and ruins. In this world, there is ultimately no glory that remains forever.” Ye Fan sighed deeply.
And then, they continued up the mountain.
Most part of Mount Chumen was now in a state of ruin and abandonment.
After all, ever since Chu Yuan led the Chu Sect to conquer the world, the reputation of the Chu Sect had already been tarnished.
Now, the whole world regarded the Chu Sect as a synonym for evil.
Therefore, no one dared to occupy that piece of land belonging to the Chu Sect.
However, aside from that, the areas where the Tang and Chu families resided were still inhabited.
After the downfall of Chu Sect, among the Three Families of the Chu Sect, only the Jones family, relying on the power of Dragon God Hall, had been rising rapidly over the past year. Their prestige grew stronger day by day. However, the Tang and Chu families, two previously significant clans, had gradually lost their presence in the martial arts world.
At present, the members of those two great families were essentially living within their residence, rarely venturing outside.
Many young people left their families, hiding in far-off places, concealing their identities, and unwilling to share their backgrounds and origins with others.
They had no choice but to live in fear and shame.
