A Dish Best Served Cold Chapter 1488

 Jiangdong Province, Yunzhou.


        The weather today is exceptionally clear and cloudless.


        Even Cloud Mist Lake, which is often surrounded by clouds and mist, is exceptionally clear today.


        On the vast lake, there are blue waves rippling, reflecting the sparkling golden light.


        Could it be that the sight of the lake's light has attracted countless citizens to come and enjoy it.


        However, just as countless visitors were indulging in the beauty of Cloud Mist Lake, there was suddenly a child in the crowd, pointing to the Cloud Top Mountain in the distance and wondering, "Mum, look, there are so many marshmallows over there?"


        "And, it's getting bigger and bigger? Is someone making marshmallows?"


        Hearing the child's words, many people looked over with them.


        "Oh, my God!"


        "Really hey."


        "Why are there so many clouds?"


        "It's like a sea of clouds?"


        "What is that place?"


        "How did so many clouds suddenly appear?"


        Looking at the scene in the distance, countless people trembled.


        In the past, although there were some clouds on the cloudy lake, it was more of a fog made of water vapor.


        But at this moment, what they saw was a real sea of clouds.


        Millions of white clouds enveloped the front, and the originally thick and majestic hundred-edged mountain was only a foot of a mountain in the eyes of the people.


        From a distance, it looked like an immortal mountain towering over the earth.


        This sudden appearance of light instantly shocked countless people.


        So much so that many people thought that the mountain in front of them had appeared out of thin air.


        "That... Isn't that Cloud Top Mountain?"


        "It's the place where Mr. Chu lives."


        "What the hell is happening there?"


        "How did so many clouds gather in one night?"


        "Couldn't it be that Mr. Chu has become immortal?"


        Amongst the crowd, someone finally recognised the mountain and immediately shouted out in shock.


        Some even suspected that Ye Fan had become an immortal.


        Very soon, the change at Cloud Top Mountain spread in all directions and stirred up the entire city of Yunzhou.


        In just half a day's time, countless citizens had gathered at the base of Cloud Top Mountain to watch the event, and the surrounding roads were blocked to the ground.


        If it wasn't for the manpower arranged by Li Er to watch over the area under Cloud Top Mountain, it was estimated that these curious people would have already rushed up to Cloud Top Mountain to see what was going on.


        "Get out of the way, all get out of the way~"


        "The Second Master has arrived, I'll see who dares to block the way?"


        At this time, the shouts of two brothers, Jinbao and Yinbao, suddenly came from the middle of the crowd.


        And then, an old man wearing a suit with a central bald spot ran up Genting Mountain in a blaze of glory under the escort of his bodyguards.


        "Mr. Chu, what's happened?"


        "You won't be condemned by heaven, will you?"


        "Mr. Chu, say something, don't you scare me?"


        After Li Er learned of the strange celestial phenomenon on Genting Mountain, he was terrified at that moment.


        He thought it was because the heavens felt that Ye Fan had killed too many people, so they had sent down heavenly wrath to strike him.


        So, he immediately rushed over.


        However, he searched the villa for half a day and could not find Ye Fan's figure, so he undoubtedly panicked even more.


        "Second Master, you... Look, is that, Mr. Chu there?"


        Just between Li Er's panic, Jin Bao seemed to have found something with endless trepidation and shock, pointing ahead and saying trembling.


        Li Er looked up.


        He saw a slim figure standing proudly under the river in the sky, between the sea of clouds.


        Behind him, the bright sun was hanging high.


        In front of him, spiritual light was shining.


        If Li Er had looked closely, he would have found that what was suspended in front of Ye Fan was a piece of warm jade.


        It was about eight feet long and resembled a bright moon.


        Yes, this was one of the three divine weapons that Ye Fan had obtained from the Sun Kingdom back then, the eight-foot Qiong Gouyu.


        And between the sun and the moon, Ye Fan, who was in it, was as majestic and ethereal as a heavenly god!


        "Gather the spirits of the sun and the moon to form the formation of heavenly extinction~"


        "Gather!"


        Suddenly, there was an ethereal voice that came from the depths of the Heavenly River.


        In a flash, the mountains and rivers trembled and the sea of clouds tossed.


        An invisible pillar of light actually rose into the sky beneath Li Er and the others.


        Countless pillars of light intertwined and crisscrossed until, here and there, a curtain of light covering a thousand metres was woven, as if it was a heavenly net, covering the entire Cloud Top Mountain.


        "This~"


        "This..."


        Under the sea of light, Li Er and the others were already completely dumbfounded, and there was shock in their brows and eyes.


        "My goodness, Chu... What kind of a person is Mr. Chu?"


        "Or rather, is he... Is he still human?"


        Li Er cried out in his heart in a lost voice.


        In the end, Li Er and the others could no longer bear the shock in their hearts, and with a bang, they directly knelt down to Ye Fan.


        That devout look was like that of a believer worshipping a god.


        After an unknown amount of time, the light and shadows dispersed and everything returned to peace.


        And Ye Fan, too, dispersed all the majesty he had just had, and slowly walked up to Li Er.


        With a clean, shredded hair, a pair of sneakers and a pair of sports trousers, Ye Fan was dressed like a teenager who had just left school, plain and youthful.


        Based on appearance alone, I guess no one would associate the teenager in front of him with Mr. Chu, who reigned in Jiangdong and terrorized the martial arts of Yanxia.


        "There is no need to be overly nervous, I have just constructed a protective formation."


        "In the future, if you are in danger and encounter someone who is unbeatable, you can go to Cloud Top Mountain to take refuge."


        "The method of using this formation, I will give it to you later."


        "With the Cloud Dao Heavenly Extinction Formation sheltering you, few people in the entire land of Yanxia will be able to break through this place!"


        "Li Er, from today onwards, I will leave this formation in your hands. The safety of my Ye Fan's family and friends is also in your hands."


        Ye Fan stood with his hands folded, his face expressionless, his words low and calm.


        And at his feet, Li Er was still kneeling.


        Especially after hearing Ye Fan's almost posthumous words, Li Er was directly stunned.


        "Mr. Chu, why are you suddenly saying this?"


        "Could it be that you are leaving again?"


        Li Er could hear the meaning in Ye Fan's words, the feeling, as if Ye Fan was leaving forever.


        At first, Ye Fan did not say anything.


        He just turned around and looked at the vast distant sky through the layers of clouds. Thick and low words slowly resounded, "I came to Yunzhou back then to leave."


        "Before my mission was accomplished, would I have stayed here for long?"


        "It's been ten years, there are some things that it's time to do."


        Boom~


        Just as Ye Fan finished these words, Li Er smashed his head directly on the ground with a bang, the muffled sound scared the two brothers, Jin Bao and Yin Bao, at the side.


        "Mr. Chu, you can't leave~"


        "Jiangdong can't be without you, Yunzhou can't be without you, I, Li Er, can't leave you either..."


        "Without you, no one can subdue this Jiangdong, no one can defend this Jiangdong, ah~"


        Li Er shouted miserably, tears mixed with snot flowing down his face.


        Perhaps, Li Er really did not want to let go of Ye Fan.


        After all, for so long, he had really experienced too much following Ye Fan.


        From the Taishan martial battle back then, to the Haitian feast later on, to the Lu Xu family's scourge in Jiangdong.


        He had witnessed Ye Fan's growth and witnessed this young man, from being famous in Jiangdong to being a sensation in Yanxia.


        With him around, Li Er and the others were not afraid when the sky fell.
