Capítulo 1733: Chapter 1729: Competing Wills
Just as Ye Fan was grappling with that mysterious power in the void, inside Heavenly City, they also felt a powerful quake.
This quake was precisely the result of Ye Fan colliding with that mysterious power earlier. Even though they were separated by millions to tens of millions of kiloters, the shock still felt extrely intense.
A lot of ordinary folk ran out into the streets. Fortunately, although the tremors were strong, they were very regular, and didn’t cause large-scale casualties due to chaotic waves, though they still did so damage in certain remote areas.
“It seems like it’s power released by Young Master!” Sang Yuan stood in the council hall she had set up in Heavenly City, looked at Sect Master Ling and several subordinates beside her, and said worriedly.
“So what if it is? Master didn’t permit us to go. You want to go against Master’s wishes and help him?” Sect Master Ling had always chosen to swallow her anger before, but by now she’d begun to think for herself, no longer limiting herself to being a slavishly obedient servant, and instead wanting to have power of her own.
Perhaps she couldn’t do that in front of Ye Fan, but in front of Sang Yuan, she had every reason to dare say such things.
Because Ye Fan had never stipulated that she had to listen to Sang Yuan in everything.
Sang Yuan said, “Now that Young Master is in trouble, we as his servants going to help him is only right and proper. If you don’t want to help, say so earlier, so I can explain it to Young Master later. Then don’t bla him for wiping you and that Diyuan Sect behind you out completely!”
Once her taboo had been touched, Sang Yuan was like soone whose tail had been stepped on, threatening Sect Master Ling without the slightest hesitation, wanting Ling to be a little more tactful.
But unfortunately, Sect Master Ling was no longer buying Sang Yuan’s old act. She wanted to gain more respect from Ye Fan, because her mindset was no longer what it had been before—just wanting to be Ye Fan’s servant for a while and then soday turn on him.
Now Sect Master Ling knew that no matter how hard she cultivated, she couldn’t affect Ye Fan’s status in the cultivation world. Those Immortals had reached such terrifying heights, and even together they weren’t Ye Fan’s match. She herself was still a long way from even ascending, let alone ever surpassing Ye Fan’s cultivation.
Sang Yuan said, “Ling, you’re just a maid by Young Master’s side. Your Destiny isn’t even in your own hands, and your cultivation is far inferior to mine. Whatever I say, goes. I order you to imdiately take people to the Death Sea and investigate what’s going on. If you dare drag your feet in the slightest, watch how I deal with you!”
Ling said, “You don’t have the authority to direct . Master said before that we can divide the work and do various things separately. Even if you can make so arrangents for , I don’t have to listen to you in everything. If you insist on making do certain things, then I choose not to obey. If you’ve got the guts, kill or torture and see whose side Master stands on in the end!”
“You—!” Sang Yuan glared at Sect Master Ling, and even had the urge to kill this tactless woman in front of her with one palm. But she knew that doing so would bring her not the slightest benefit.
Ye Fan hated nothing more than petty jealousy among the won around him, especially when it led to them coming to blows. Sang Yuan also knew that her status by Ye Fan’s side was steadily declining. After all, cultivators of ancient great-power level like Xi He and the Mysterious Maiden had successively beco Ye Fan’s servants. Ye Fan no longer had any real need to rely on her.
If at this ti she showed her immature side and killed Sect Master Ling, Ye Fan might very well kill her outright, or toss her aside and ignore her from then on.
Thinking of this, even though Sang Yuan was seething inside, she had no choice but to swallow her anger and stop involving herself in the matter.

Although the quake in Heavenly City was very strong, it didn’t cause much damage.
Qiao Feixuan and Ning Huwen also rushed out into the courtyard when the quake hit, but once they confird it was just an ordinary earthquake, the two of them relaxed.
“What on earth is going on? We even get earthquakes here?” Qiao Feixuan asked in puzzlent.
Ning Huwen said, “This place is also made up of land and sea, what’s so strange about earthquakes? Besides, there are so many Immortals and demons here. When those people fight, won’t ordinary commoners suffer along with them? With our current cultivation, we don’t have to be afraid of so earthquake…”
Qiao Feixuan then said with a little pride, “That’s true, earthquakes affect us less and less now. I really don’t know what that child Ye Fan is thinking. Since he brought us here, he doesn’t bother with us at all. If he wanted to just dump us here, why bother bringing us? Wouldn’t it be better to send us back to Earth?”
“Didn’t we go back before? You were the one who felt it was better to stay in the secret realm and keep an eye on Ye Fan and Zhao Jun…” Ning Huwen said.
The two of them were in-laws, but in many ways they were also like close sisters. Their tone held a touch of warmth when they spoke. No matter how their children got along, they considered each other their best friend.
Qiao Feixuan said, “Soone, go invite Sang Yuan over. There are so things I want to ask her!”
At a ti like this, the one Qiao Feixuan thought of was Sang Yuan, to question her in detail. After all, Sang Yuan was the one Ye Fan had said earlier would stay behind to help manage internal affairs in Heavenly City, and Qiao Feixuan also regarded Sang Yuan as soone in the role of her own maid.
When Sang Yuan and Sect Master Ling appeared together in front of Qiao Feixuan, Qiao Feixuan didn’t even want to look at the two won directly.
Qiao Feixuan said, “What exactly is going on, why did an earthquake happen? Don’t tell soone is trying to stir up trouble and undermine Ye Fan’s standing in the secret realm?”
As a mother, Qiao Feixuan cared very much about how others viewed Ye Fan, because she knew that Ye Fan now held a ruling position within the secret realm, and she was very afraid that the people under him might betray him.
Sang Yuan said, “Madam, it’s not like that. This underground fluctuation seems to have been generated while Young Master was fighting soone. Young Master should have encountered so trouble!”
“What did you say?” Qiao Feixuan hadn’t been very nervous at first, but after hearing this, her expression turned much more tense, because compared to soone betraying Ye Fan, she was more worried about Ye Fan being in danger.
“But Madam doesn’t need to be overly worried. To this servant’s knowledge, with Young Master’s current cultivation, no one can pose too great a threat to him. Right now this servant is just thinking of sending people to investigate Young Master’s situation, and asks Madam for permission!” Sang Yuan said.
She said this in part to pressure Sect Master Ling. You don’t want to listen to ? Don’t want to go? Then I’ll use Madam’s na to press you. Let’s see if you dare defy that.
Sure enough, Qiao Feixuan said nervously, “Then what are you still waiting for? Hurry and send people!”
Sang Yuan’s face carried a hint of smugness as she looked at Sect Master Ling and said, “Sect Master Ling, you heard Madam’s words. Go and carry it out at once! You must not delay!”
