When Ye Fan arrived in Four Nine City, it was already past eight in the evening. The city was still bustling, and although Ye Fan initially thought of going ho first, he decided to head to the hotel where Shen Yan had previously disappeared.
At the hotel, Ye Fan didn’t find any clues, and he couldn’t detect any traces left by Shen Yan and Li Zhaojun.
He even searched the hotel rooftop but ca up with no clues.
"Master, it seems the intelligence was wrong!" Su Nu said solemnly. "Miss Shen doesn’t seem to have appeared in this hotel. Should we catch that charlatan and question him thoroughly?"
To make it easier to reach Four Nine City, Ye Fan temporarily left Ta Mo in Hua Hai City. He also wanted to see if any factions targeted Ta Mo to ascertain who might want this man who could see the past and future.
But it seed that Ta Mo was still very secure at that mont.
"Although I can’t sense any cultivators’ powers around, it’s clear the area has been cleaned up because there’s no residual aura at all; the traces of cleaning are too obvious!" Ye Fan said.
Su Nu glanced at Ye Fan, her look seed to say, "So what?"
Ye Fan suddenly said, "Old friend, since you’re here, why not co out and et ?"
Only then did Su Nu beco alert to the arrival of soone nearby, and when she saw who it was, she beca extrely tense because it was none other than the Nine Heavens Mysterious Woman, who had previously controlled her and even threatened her life.
"Sister?" Su Nu recalled the incident where she was defeated by the Nine Heavens Mysterious Woman. She began to fear her, despite her current cultivation attribute being controlled by Ye Fan and not the Mysterious Woman.
The Nine Heavens Mysterious Woman, however, seed not to notice Su Nu. She looked at Ye Fan and said, "Aren’t you supposed to be having a wedding? Why did you co back to Earth?"
"I ca back to handle so matters. Why does Senior remain on Earth?" Ye Fan replied.
Although the conversation between Ye Fan and the Nine Heavens Mysterious Woman wasn’t heated, there was a coldness between them. Previously, they were allies and even explored the elental cave of Pan Gu’s death sea together, but later due to a magical artifact that could summon Pan Gu and Fu Xi, they beca completely opposed.
Since Ye Fan defeated the Nine Heavens Mysterious Woman in the ancient ruins of the Arctic, she hadn’t communicated with him anymore. Her return now evidently had ulterior motives, and Ye Fan was also cautious of her.
"I’ve been waiting here for you to return!" said the Nine Heavens Mysterious Woman.
"Waiting for ?" Ye Fan looked at the Nine Heavens Mysterious Woman with a hint of skepticism in his expression.
The Nine Heavens Mysterious Woman said, "You defeated , which I didn’t anticipate. I suspect you’ve begun absorbing the power of several crystals, but I want to remind you, your physique isn’t enough to handle all elental powers. If you forcefully try to manage them, you will lose your true nature, not becoming a savior but turning into a demon. You yourself will beco the creator of calamities!"
"I don’t believe it!" Ye Fan responded.
"You may not believe it, but soon you might find yourself occasionally losing so mories. Because during those tis you lose your mories, you lose your true nature, becoming a demon, possessing not only a strong desire for possession but also a strong desire for destruction!" said the Nine Heavens Mysterious Woman.
Though Ye Fan verbally didn’t believe, he seed already to have a premonition of sothing within.
Previously, he seed to have experienced such disorientation, although briefly, not causing much awareness afterward. But he knew such events were indeed gradually occurring.
Ye Fan thought, "Could the Mysterious Woman be right, because my physique isn’t strong enough to control such powerful elental forces, that I would unwittingly beco a demon?"
"Why did you co to tell this, what’s your purpose?" Ye Fan asked.
The Nine Heavens Mysterious Woman replied, "Because I know there’s trouble by your side. The girl you’re supposed to marry should be missing now, and you’re searching for her, aren’t you?"
"What else do you know?" Ye Fan queried.
"I also know she took away won by your side, not just one. You even began suspecting she’s doing you harm but refused to admit it, am I right?" said the Nine Heavens Mysterious Woman.
Ye Fan narrowed his eyes, scrutinizing the Nine Heavens Mysterious Woman, saying, "It sounds as if Senior is the one manipulating her to do these things."
"I wouldn’t do such boring things. I know the purpose of her actions, but I won’t tell you. I just want you to understand the benefits of cooperating with are great. If you refuse to cooperate, Xi He will never tell you certain things!" said the Nine Heavens Mysterious Woman.
Ye Fan didn’t expect that even now, the Nine Heavens Mysterious Woman hadn’t given up on the idea of cooperating with him.
"Why not cooperate with Xi He? I see she seems more interested in Senior, and she can help Senior with certain matters that I cannot lend a hand with. Senior should consider!" Ye Fan responded.
The Nine Heavens Mysterious Woman turned away, saying, "You don’t want to help , I won’t force you. You find who you need first, and if you regret it later, you can always co to a certain place to find ; you should know where that place is!"
...
...
The Nine Heavens Mysterious Woman ca quickly and left just as swiftly. When Ye Fan wanted to ask anything more, the Mysterious Woman had already left Four Nine City.
Ye Fan knew the place the Nine Heavens Mysterious Woman ntioned was within the ocean depths, also the place on Earth where the crystals are guarded.
"Master, the Mysterious Woman’s cultivation...seems stronger!" Su Nu said worriedly.
"Are you still afraid of her?" Ye Fan glanced sideways at Su Nu.
Su Nu swallowed; she wasn’t just afraid of the Mysterious Woman but feared all those with greater cultivation than hers, for Su Nu was inherently an opportunist, flaunting herself before the weak but respectful before the strong.
"Let’s go. First, let’s check the ancient ruins. If there are no clues, then perhaps we can visit the ocean depths once!" Unable to figure out how to locate Li Zhaojun, Ye Fan could only temporarily pin his hopes on the Nine Heavens Mysterious Woman, even though he was reluctant to cooperate with her.
...
...
At that mont on Tai Yuan Star, Li Zhaojun sent over the artifact controlling Shen Yan, the Illusionary Realm.
"Just one woman left; with this woman added, it’s complete, and the final spell can be perford!" Li Zhaojun said. "Hopefully Ye Fan remains unaware of this, as long as I can find the last woman in the illusion, everything will be completed!"
The silhouette remained in the shadows, hearing this, sighed lightly, and said, "Human thoughts are indeed different. May you bring her back soon!"
"It’s very difficult!" Li Zhaojun replied. "Her cultivation is higher than mine, and she is extrely vigilant. I never knew her cultivation could reach such heights. If unsuccessful, it’ll all be for naught!"
