Chapter 1432: Chapter 1428: Blackmailing with Zhuo Junwu
To cooperate with Xi He, in Ye Fan’s view, is to cooperate with a woman who is unpredictable and enigmatic. He wouldn’t align with the Nine Heavens Mysterious Woman, and definitely wouldn’t cooperate with Xi He, who has kidnapped Shen Yan. That’s his principle.
“Senior, there’s no need to say more. I don’t have any plans for cooperation. Whatever you want to do is currently irrelevant to . I only know that I need to take care of the people around !” Ye Fan said.
“Ye Fan, others are very purposeful in their actions, while yours often leave people guessing. Cooperation with is all benefits and no harm to you, yet you’re unappreciative. Let tell you, if you agree to cooperate with , I will awaken your master, Zhuo Junwu. He has been asleep for a long ti, and you wouldn’t want him to continue sleeping until his body withers and he dies, would you?” Xi He said in a threatening tone.
Ye Fan frowned and said, “Is Senior blackmailing ?”
“I’m not blackmailing you, I’m letting you consider. I did abduct that little girl Shen Yan, but it was her choice to stay by my side. I rely fulfilled her wish. As for Shen Yan seeking revenge against you, that’s her own matter. I won’t interfere. Aren’t you self-proclaid as Saint of Love? You can solve the issue with that little girl Shen Yan yourself, right?” Xi He laughed.
“I will eventually rescue Shen Yan, but my master…”
Ye Fan didn’t continue. He knew his master Zhuo Junwu was very endangered. After being sealed by Xi He’s power, Zhuo Junwu has been asleep in a secret room that Ye Fan couldn’t enter. Ye Fan tried several tis to break the restriction but failed. Previously, he had seen Zhuo Junwu’s condition and knew that if left in this state of prolonged slumber, Zhuo Junwu could die from internal Spiritual Energy exhaustion.
Xi He laughed, “Your Li Huo sect business is sothing you know very little about. To be frank… you are rely a newly accepted disciple under Zhuo, and he hasn’t explained the specifics of Li Huo sect to you yet. You should know, I’ve known Zhuo Junwu for a long ti. If I wanted to harm him, I would have done so long ago. But I didn’t, because I always felt Zhuo was soone worth appreciating. He understands persistence, and ultimately found you as his final disciple!”
Ye Fan was contemplating so matters himself. He knew Xi He was originally the Shadow-less figure he had first visited in Pangu’s secret land when he followed Shen Biancheng to investigate Zhuo Junwu’s whereabouts. Xi He hid in an illusion she created, avoiding the world until Ye Fan disrupted her peace.
“How can I trust you?” Ye Fan asked.
“Ye Fan, I understand you want to rescue your master first. It’s not that I don’t want to agree, but currently, I don’t have the capacity to do so. Rest assured, the cooperation I propose is rely strategic. I need you to assist with a few tasks that won’t affect your life, and you can halt it at any ti. As for Zhuo, just give ten days or so, and I can help him wake up. Only I know where he is now. If you don’t agree, he will remain asleep perpetually. I won’t kill him. He might be the only hope to revitalize the Li Huo sect at the right ti!” Xi He said.
Ye Fan was puzzled by what Xi He had to do with revitalizing the Li Huo sect. He also wondered if it was necessary to rescue Zhuo Junwu now or if he could abandon this rescue and wait until Xi He is besieged by the Nine Heavens Mysterious Woman and Nuwa before saving him.
“I will consider it and reply later!” Ye Fan said.
“Alright, I know you are quite adept at handling situations. If you don’t agree, don’t think I’ll show rcy. I can do anything as long as it’s not murderous. Zhuo isn’t killed by ; I just haven’t saved him…”
Xi He said with a cold smile on her face.
…
…
Upon returning to his residence, Ye Fan ntioned Xi He’s affairs to Li Zhaojun. Ye Fan himself was curious about why Xi He suddenly parted ways with Nuwa.
“Ye Fan, do you think Senior Xi He is intentionally probing you rather than actually intending to proceed? Those people are ancient cultivators and not easy to deal with!” Li Zhaojun worriedly said.
“No.” Ye Fan confidently replied, “Considering Xi He’s status, does she need to lie to soone like ? I feel that Xi He’s choice this ti leans more towards the Nine Heavens Mysterious Woman’s side. She just doesn’t want to openly join the Mysterious Woman, as she knows the consequences of awakening Pan Gu and Fu Xi could be more significant. The Mysterious Woman might act more extre in her actions, perhaps!” Ye Fan analyzed.
While Li Zhaojun and Ye Fan were talking, Sang Yuan stood nearby, seemingly wanting to convey sothing to Ye Fan.
Ye Fan gestured, “If you have sothing to say, just speak.”
“Master, news just arrived that a sinister force is spreading on Earth. It seems the demon hasn’t left and may soon trouble you and Mistress!” Sang Yuan reported.
“Have you investigated anything?” Ye Fan asked.
“We haven’t located the demon, Hua Wu and Fa Ying are still alive and likely beca the demon’s right-hand aides. Master, the day after tomorrow is your wedding with Mistress, should we increase personnel for investigation?” Sang Yuan inquired.
Ye Fan gestured dismissively, “Focus on the matters I previously assigned to you. As for the demon issue, we’ll put it aside for now. The demon just lost its physical form and its powers are still unstable. It won’t attack any ti soon. Right now, ensuring the wedding plans proceed smoothly is more crucial. If there’s a mistake, I’ll hold you accountable!”
“Yes, Master.” Sang Yuan replied professionally and efficiently.
Sang Yuan and Sun Ning are fundantally the two most capable people around Ye Fan. Sang Yuan is responsible for the cultivation realm, while Sun Ning manages scattered affairs on Earth.
Sang Yuan has a higher cultivation than Ye Fan and follows his orders because the Nine Heavens Mysterious Woman implanted a seed for obedience within her. Sang Yuan senses Ye Fan doesn’t rely use her, and due to the Blood Oath, Sang Yuan wouldn’t survive if Ye Fan dies. Additionally, Ye Fan has beco her man, leading Sang Yuan to entirely regard Ye Fan as her master without any defiance in her mind.
However, Sang Yuan inherently possesses jealousy and vindictiveness, wishing to eliminate obstacles, the obstacles being won Ye Fan had interacted with in the cultivation realm, among whom the most intimidating to Sang Yuan is the Sect Master of Di Yuan Sect, Ling.
