Chapter 1161: Chapter 1157: eting on Earth
The Tianxuan Sect was previously allied with the six major sects to fight against the Diyuan Sect together.
After the Tianxuan Sect betrayed this alliance and joined forces with the Diyuan Sect, it beca the “public enemy” of the sects within the Pan Gu Secret Realm, resulting in their solitary arrival on Earth.
When Ye Fan returned to Huahai City, Li Zhaojun and Min Shang were still cultivating in their room, anticipating a potential major battle on Earth. They wanted to cultivate as much as possible to better assist Ye Fan.
Wu Ding remained in Huahai City instead of joining his fellow disciples in Nanhai City.
Seeing Ye Fan return, Wu Ding approached to inquire about the arrangents made for their sect, expressing his worries: “Junior Brother, the people from the Five Major Sects could arrive at any mont, but the current attitude of the Diyuan Sect is baffling.”
“Senior Sister fears the Diyuan Sect might abandon the Tianxuan Sect at a critical mont, leaving it to be slaughtered by the other five sects?” Ye Fan inquired.
“That’s exactly my concern. When the Tianxuan Sect originally allied with the Diyuan Sect, the hope was to use the Tianxuan Sect’s gate restrictions to trap mbers of the Five Major Sects, but they managed to escape. Now it’s ti for them to settle accounts with the Tianxuan Sect. The Diyuan Sect has always been treacherous; how could they possibly assist the Tianxuan Sect through this crisis?” Wu Ding worriedly expressed.
Ye Fan shook his head, saying, “Regardless of whether the Diyuan Sect aids the Tianxuan Sect, our task is to prevent this war from happening. Are we really going to watch the seven major sects annihilate each other before the great disaster?”
Wu Ding remained silent, looking up at the distant sky. The second group from the Pan Gu Secret Realm had arrived.
Ye Fan and Wu Ding personally went to welco them. This ti, it was Hai Wuzi from the Xinghe Sect leading the group.
It seed customary that this ti around, all sects brought mbers with Divinity Transformation Stage and higher. The Xinghe Sect, being relatively unnoticed among the seven major sects, only comprised seven people, including Hai Wuzi.
“Ye Fan, we et again.” Hai Wuzi spoke courteously to Ye Fan, smiling as he addressed him.
Even though the people from the Five Major Sects detested the Tianxuan Sect’s betrayal, Ye Fan had nothing to do with it, and even Hai Wuzi bore no hostility toward him.
Ye Fan bowed and said, “I’ll have Min Shang escort you to Nanhai City imdiately!”
As most of the attendees from the Xinghe Sect were female disciples, it would have been inconvenient for Ye Fan to accompany them, so he preferred to have Min Shang go, allowing the master and disciple to converse, which was a form of understanding on Ye Fan’s part.
Though he now possessed Min Shang, she was still a product of the Xinghe Sect, retaining a bond of ntorship in her heart.
After calling Min Shang out and giving her a few instructions about contacting Sun Ning upon reaching Nanhai City, Ye Fan sent the Xinghe Sect group off from Huahai City.
Returning to the villa, Wu Ding comnted irritably, “Junior Brother, you are quite tolerant. Aren’t you afraid the Xinghe Sect will run away with Min Shang?”
“Senior Sister is overthinking,” Ye Fan laughed. “Sect Master Hai is not that kind of person. Even if she had intentions of taking Min Shang away, Min Shang’s heart belongs to .”
“You seem confident. Let’s see how you handle the other major sects’ arrivals. Many sects are eager to eliminate you, especially the Emperor Sect!” Wu Ding retorted.
Ye Fan said, “If the Emperor Sect arrives, Senior Sister can handle them. I have matters to attend to… Sang Yuan, co to the room with ; I have sothing to discuss.”
Under Wu Ding’s piercing gaze, Ye Fan led the mature and voluptuous Sang Yuan into the room. As she was about to use her Spiritual Sense to investigate, she found it blocked by a net of Spiritual Energy, set by Ye Fan.
Wu Ding muttered to herself, “Knew it, bringing back a maidservant with no good intentions.”
…
…
Ye Fan brought Sang Yuan into the room, her expression a bit reserved. After all, she had already acknowledged Ye Fan as her master by Blood Oath, and must obey all his commands—even those that might break her pride.
“Have all the personnel been dispatched?” Ye Fan asked.
“Yes, Master,” Sang Yuan replied cautiously, “I have dispatched more than sixty individuals with Divinity Transformation Stage and above to Earth, hidden around Huaxia. If there is any conflict among the seven major sects, they will intervene or follow your orders.”
Ye Fan had not expected Sang Yuan to have over sixty high-level cultivators behind her, and this was just a fraction. It was no wonder the seven major sects were wary of the rise of this mysterious force.
Ye Fan asked, “Previously, the people from the seven major sects blad you for the slaughter of sect cultivators. Was this your doing?”
Sang Yuan shook her head, saying, “Master, I only ever dispatched people to investigate the situation of sects. Occasionally, there were small skirmishes, but never anything as major as annihilating entire sects. Please, believe !”
Possibly fearing Ye Fan’s suspicion, Sang Yuan knelt on the ground, affirming her honesty with her posture.
“Do you know who did it?” Ye Fan asked.
“I was also investigating. Any of the seven major sects could be the culprit… Additionally, I suspect the Tianxuan Sect, though I have no evidence,” Sang Yuan evasively replied.
Because Ye Fan was part of the Tianxuan Sect, and during his departure with Wu Ding and Elder Wu towards Emperor Mountain, killings had occurred right under their noses. At that ti, both Elder Wu and Wu Ding vehently denied any involvent.
Ye Fan had found those killings exceptionally cruel, involving not only murder but also pillaging abuses. If it were indeed Elder Wu and Wu Ding who committed such acts, Ye Fan would be terrified.
“Understood, you may rise,” Ye Fan said.
Yet Sang Yuan remained kneeling, adding, “Master, I have also discovered another matter… it involves Zhuo Junwu, your master…”
Ye Fan’s expression suddenly grew stern, evaluating Sang Yuan, “Are you referring to my master? Where is he?”
Sang Yuan disclosed, “Zhuo Junwu once traveled to Xuanyue Palace and joined forces with the Diyuan Sect and Tianxuan Sect. He was injured and sought to return to Heavenly Peak Mountain to recuperate, but was intercepted en route. Although I haven’t determined who was responsible, subsequent tracking suggests it was the people from the seven major sects.”
Ye Fan clenched his fists, “So you’re saying my master might be imprisoned by the seven major sects?”
“I can’t be certain,” Sang Yuan said. “Master, should I take advantage of the absence of the seven major sects from their headquarters to send people to thoroughly investigate this matter?”
Ye Fan squinted at Sang Yuan, suspecting her proposal had ulterior motives; perhaps the intention to trace Zhuo Junwu’s whereabouts was false, the true aim being to gather intel on the sects.
Ye Fan walked towards Sang Yuan, who remained kneeling with her head down, while he lifted her chin with his finger, “Are you really sure my master is captured by the seven major sects?”
“I am certain,” Sang Yuan firmly replied, albeit avoiding Ye Fan’s gaze, “Master, now I am your servant and would never betray you.”
Ye Fan smiled approvingly, “Very well, imdiately dispatch people to search for my master, Zhuo Junwu, in the secret realm, and report any findings to at once.”
