Chapter 16: 16 The Arrival of the Monarch
```
"Could it be that he really is God Ye? Has the man whose might once shook the world returned?"
Jiang Zhongmou's heart suddenly surged with shock waves, and his chiseled face could no longer remain composed.
"God Ye? Ye Fan is God Ye?"
The Jiang Family patriarch, Jiang Hong, stood petrified, nearly scared out of his wits.
When Lin Wu had said that Ye Fan was the God Ye who turned the tide in the war of the Heavenly Abode Country six years ago, he had scoffed, thinking Lin Wu had gone mad.
But he had never dreamed that Ye Fan was actually God Ye.
What was most terrifying was that because of one Ye Fan, so many super-giants had been drawn here.
If this group of people were to unleash their wrath upon the Jiang Family, the horrific consequences made Jiang Hong's scalp tingle at the mere thought.
"Gentlemen, long time no see!"
Feeling emotional, Ye Fan gazed at the familiar faces before him.
"God Ye, long time no see!"
A host of Warzone giants looked towards Ye Fan with solemn respect.
The next moment, Ye Fan's gaze turned icy as he looked at Jiang Zhongmou, "Do you still question my identity now?"
Facing Ye Fan's questioning, Jiang Zhongmou's complexion gradually soured.
Dozens of seconds later, Jiang Zhongmou stared at Ye Fan and said gravely, "I truly didn't expect that the God Ye from six years ago would still be alive!"

"Now that things have come to this, I have nothing to say. God Ye, since the incident has occurred, there must be a solution. How would you like to resolve this?"
Having learned Ye Fan's true identity, Jiang Zhongmou suppressed the rage in his heart.
After all, too many giants had been brought here because of one Ye Fan. If he were to clash with Ye Fan now, not only would he gain no benefits, but his entire Jiang Family could be ruined.
"How I would like to resolve it?"
Ye Fan sneered coldly, "The matter originated from your Jiang Family. The Young Master is dead, and you, Jiang Hong, as the patriarch, listened to slander and did not hesitate to plot the murder of my daughter, wanting my daughter to be buried with him!"
"Not only that, but Jiang Hong heartlessly bullied my wife Su Ruoxue. As long as Jiang Hong apologizes with his own death, I won't pursue this further. If you intend to protect Jiang Hong, then I will turn the entire Jiang Family to ashes!"
A dragon has its reverse scales, and touching them incites its wrath.
His wife Su Ruoxue and daughter Ye Ling'er were Ye Fan's reverse scales. This time, the Jiang Family had deeply hurt his wife and daughter, and only Jiang Hong's death could appease Ye Fan's anger.
"To... apologize with death?"
Hearing Ye Fan's forceful words, Jiang Hong trembled all over, involuntarily turning his gaze towards his third brother Jiang Zhongmou.
Jiang Zhongmou's face darkened as Ye Fan demanded his older brother Jiang Hong's life in apology, igniting a burning fury in his heart.
"God Ye, you are forcing me!" Jiang Zhongmou's eyes emitted a chilling glint.
Ye Fan's expression grew grim, "Forcing you? It is your Jiang Family that has been unkind and unjust, where does this idea of 'forcing you' come from?"
Lin Wu immediately chimed in, "Jiang Zhongmou, your older brother is deranged, having wronged God Ye's wife and daughter. Only his death can quell our anger. If you dare interfere, don't blame us for being impolite to you!"
"That's right, Jiang Zhongmou, I advise you not to meddle, or else don't blame us for being impolite to you!" the War God of the Eastern Warzone, Xiao Tiance, said coldly.
The other Warzone giants stepped forward, their frosty gazes fixed on Jiang Zhongmou, making their stance clear.
Pressured by Lin Wu and the others, Jiang Zhongmou laughed dismissively, "Impolite to me? Gentlemen, are you threatening Mr. Jiang? Do you think I reached my current position by being easily frightened?"
"I'll have you know, this is the Central Plains Region, my territory, Jiang Zhongmou's domain. Even if you are dragons, you must lie prostrate before me; even if you are tigers, you must crouch at my feet!"
"Even if you have brought a formidable force, I, Jiang Zhongmou, am still not afraid. With just one command from me, tens of thousands of the Tiger and Wolf Brigade will swarm over from the Central Plains Boundary—your forces are no match for mine!"
Upon hearing this, Lin Wu and the others' expressions changed dramatically.
```
They could tell that Jiang Zhongmou had gone mad, hell-bent on protecting the Jiang Family.
And indeed, Jiang Zhongmou wasn't wrong: this was the Central Plains Region, where at his command, he could absolutely rally hundreds of thousands from the Tiger and Wolf Brigade.
They had rushed to reinforce hastily, bringing only the elite. Should a conflict arise, their small force would likely be no match for Jiang Zhongmou.
Upon hearing this, Ye Fan's gaze towards Jiang Zhongmou grew even colder.
"God Ye!"
Intimidating Lin Wu and the others, Jiang Zhongmou addressed Ye Fan, "This matter started because of our two families. In my opinion, there's no need for a major conflict. As long as God Ye cools down, I will personally, along with my elder brother, apologize to you and compensate for all losses afterward."
"Apologize, you must apologize!" Jiang Hong, upon hearing this, nodded frantically.
Ye Fan was too powerful, and at this point, Jiang Hong would not hesitate to do anything to save his life.
Staring at the domineering Jiang Zhongmou, Ye Fan said icily, "And what if I don't agree?"
"Then don't blame Mr. Jiang for being merciless!"
In front of everyone, Jiang Zhongmou's pupils shrank, his eyes frosty to the extreme.
Then, pointing at Lin Wu and the others, Jiang Zhongmou sneered, "Do you really expect them to help you, God Ye? Ha! Here in the Central Plains Region, even they would become prisoners beneath my feet with just a nod from me."
"You..."
Facing such audacity from Jiang Zhongmou, Lin Wu and the others became furious.
"God Ye, let's end this here! You should understand, I give you face by calling you God Ye. If I didn't give you face, what would you be in front of me?"
At that moment, Jiang Zhongmou's attitude was arrogant, as if he was the only supreme being throughout the vast Central Plains Boundary, and even with Ye Fan's significant background, he seemed insignificant before him.
"Jiang Zhongmou, you scoundrel!"
Seeing Jiang Zhongmou completely disregard Ye Fan, Lin Wu and the others were inflamed with rage.
"Jiang Zhongmou, what an arrogant tone you have!"
Suddenly, a voice filled with anger rang out as a helicopter slowly descended toward the Jiang Family's position from the sky not far away.
"Is... Is that the Divine Dragon?"
Recognizing the helicopter, Jiang Zhongmou's expression changed dramatically, as if he had seen a ghost.
Perhaps others didn't know, but he, Jiang Zhongmou, was well aware that only the high-ranking person from Heavenly Abode Country could ride aboard the Divine Dragon.
"My lord, look, it's the lord himself who has come!"
Lin Wu and the others looked up, and all their expressions became intense.
Under the gaze of the crowd, the Divine Dragon slowly landed in a clearing, the cabin opened, and a majestic man stepped out.
This man had a stately appearance, was dressed in black, and walked with a calm gait. With every step, he exuded an aura of a higher-up. His deep eyes seemed to pierce through all things, as if an ancient emperor had arrived.
"The Emperor? The Emperor himself has actually come?"
Seeing the man in black, Jiang Zhongmou felt like he was struck by a bolt from the blue; he staggered, and his face turned instantly pale, losing the arrogant expression he had worn earlier.
"God Ye, six years it's been, hope all is well!"
The man in black descended from the Divine Dragon, looked at Ye Fan, and on confirming it was him, a smile emerged on his face.
"Emperor Tang, indeed all has been well," Ye Fan responded, his thoughts swirling.
The man in black nodded with a smile, then turned to Jiang Zhongmou with a stern expression and rebuked, "Quite the words you had there, Jiang Zhongmou!"
"What was it you said? God Ye is what in front of you? How dare you! Disrespecting God Ye, do you wish to be lawless?"
