Chapter 1020: Chapter 1016: Who Is the Lamb?
The approaching spiritual energy originally appeared as a single stream, but later ford a vast area. At least thirty to forty people ca, whose cultivation levels were generally above the Golden Core Stage. Ye Fan was caught off guard by the simultaneous appearance of so many Golden Core Stage experts on Earth.
Ye Fan estimated that, in his current injured state with Wu Ding unconscious, while needing to protect Tantai Wanrong, it might be challenging for Li Zhaojun and Min Shang to defeat so many Golden Core Stage individuals simultaneously. Even if they barely managed to win in the end, Tantai Wanrong and Wu Ding might still suffer so damage.
“The visitors are unfriendly. Let’s attempt to leave. Miss Han, is there an exit here?” Ye Fan looked at Han Qing’er. Given Han Qing’er’s cautious nature, the villa she lived in was sure to have a secret passage for departure.
Han Qing’er felt sowhat disappointed by Ye Fan addressing her as “Miss Han,” but she quickly said, “Master and a few mistresses, follow .”
“Who’s your mistress?” Tantai Wanrong complained and followed behind Ye Fan. The few entered a secret chamber that was dozens of ters underground, which directly connected to a safe exit several kiloters away.
The elder brought by Tang Boheng to hunt Ye Fan and the others was surnad Song, and he brought people along. Originally, he could still sense the fluctuations in spiritual energy, which belonged to Tantai Wanrong, whose cultivation level was relatively lower. This is precisely how he tracked Tantai Wanrong to find Han Qing’er’s villa. Yet, upon reaching the villa, the surroundings were so tranquil that even the spiritual energy fluctuations had disappeared.
“Uncle Song, why did the people suddenly vanish?” a young man asked behind him.
The elder waved his hand, and the group searched around the villa but could find no trace of anyone having been there. After pondering for a mont, the elder said, “There’s only one explanation: the group consists of experts who can hide their aura.”
“Then what should we do now? At present, the exploration rights of the East Sea are held by that Tang fellow. If we don’t get authorization from him, we won’t be able to open the East Sea rift unnoticed!” the young man worried.
“We could feel it before, then it disappeared. They’re not leaving above ground; it must be underground. Dig three feet deep; we must find the underground tunnel!” The elder ordered, and a group of Golden Core Stage experts began searching for the entrance to the underground channel.
Although the secret chamber was dozens of ters deep, under the scrutiny of several Golden Core Stage experts, it took less than a minute to locate.
The elder’s face revealed a cold smile. With a single palm, he opened a titanium tal plate underneath revealing an elevator entrance that could directly reach the secret chamber. Just as a few were about to descend, they felt chills run down their spines.
“Get back!” The elder shouted, attempting to evade yet feeling enveloped by a powerful fluctuation of spiritual energy, raising the air temperature by several hundred degrees.
“Boom!”
The sound of an explosion rang out, and though the elder narrowly escaped, he was still affected by the aftermath. Normally, such explosives wouldn’t harm him; however, this explosion was a fusion of Pure Yang and Pure Yin spiritual energy. Under the spiritual energy fluctuations, the elder felt his own spiritual energy rapidly draining.
“Uncle Song, are you alright?” The group was scattered by the explosion, though fortunately without much death or injury. The young man who spoke earlier remained unhard, quickly went over to support the elder.
“A threat is at our doorstep, and you’re concerned about checking on ?” the elder said enraged.
Indeed, descending from above were three individuals; leading was Ye Fan, with Li Zhaojun and Min Shang at his sides.
The trio landed directly in the yard outside the villa, confronting dozens of Golden Core Stage experts who had just risen from the ground, many bearing injuries.
Ye Fan coldly asked, “For so many Golden Core Stage individuals to co at once, are you all from the sa sect?”
“So what if we are?” The elder, forcing steadiness onto himself, sneered, “You must be Ye Fan? Indeed extraordinary. For you to possess such formidable strength despite being injured, I’d assu your cultivation level is above the Divinity Transformation Stage?”
Though Ye Fan’s cultivation was only at the mid-Nascent Soul Stage, his Pure Yang spiritual energy could rge with the Pure Yin spiritual energy of Li Zhaojun and Min Shang, forming a power nearing the Body Integration Realm, outmatching even the Divinity Transformation Stage Fa Ying in the past. This was why the elder had erroneously assessed Ye Fan’s strength.
“So what if I am? Why have you brought people to ambush?” Ye Fan asked harshly.
The elder’s smile held a trace of lancholia: “I thought this battle would be easily won, yet I didn’t anticipate that even among the younger generation, there could be experts at the Divinity Transformation Stage. I’ve miscalculated. If you wish to kill , go ahead; don’t expect a word from !”
“Uncle, let’s fight him! Why should we definitely lose to him? We have so many people, yet can’t defeat him with a Divinity Transformation Stage cultivation?” The young man was full of vigor and couldn’t bear losing to Ye Fan, threatening to fight to the death.
“Silence!” The elder barked, “You’re only newly at the Golden Core Stage, unaware of the differences between stages after Golden Core. Just one slight tier difference can an tens of tis more power discrepancy. Moreover, we are two major stages below him. With his strength, he could overturn the entire Jingzhao City. Do you believe we have a chance to escape from him? Young Sir Ye, if you wish to kill, then kill!”
Ye Fan pondered internally, this old fellow indeed has a keen strategy.
Though it was the elder who initiated the ambush, deploying thirty to forty Golden Core Stage experts simultaneously is beyond even Earth’s top three sects. Aside from being commissioned to attack them, these people haven’t conducted any heinous acts. Now standing there for him to kill, he found himself awkward to act.
Ye Fan, bound by moral integrity, refrained from killing, which was not in his nature. He was also keen to uncover exactly who these people were, and on whose orders they acted.
“I won’t kill you!” Ye Fan announced authoritatively, “But neither will I let you off easily. Reveal what I wish to know, and you’ll have a way out. Yet say nothing, and the path to your demise lies before you!”
The young man couldn’t hold himself any longer, shouted, “Afraid of you? I’ll first test how strong you really are… ah!”
Before his words had finished, he felt his body suddenly “restrained,” with Ye Fan effortlessly lifting him by the throat without moving.
“Young Sir Ye, aren’t you bullying the weak?” the elder asked sternly.
Ye Fan chuckled, “And you think it’s fine to bully the few? Had my cultivation not surpassed yours today, I might be the one awaiting death with closed eyes!”
The elder’s expression was unpleasant, knowing Ye Fan spoke truth. He had co intending to kill Ye Fan and capture Han Qing’er, Li Zhaojun, and others to hand over to Tang Boheng, yet hadn’t predicted Ye Fan’s cultivation would be so formidable. The previously assud prey had now beco the predator, able to dictate their fate.
“Young Sir Ye, since you’re also soone who values moral integrity, let us discuss terms then!” the elder proposed.
