Ye Fan originally planned to return to South Sea City in one and a half hours, but it was delayed by nearly three hours.
When Ye Fan returned to South Sea City, Wu Ding was already impatiently waiting and said as soon as he saw Ye Fan, "Junior brother, you are really busy, aren’t you? During this ti, even a baby could have been born!"
Ye Fan chuckled and said, "Whether I have a child or not seems to have nothing to do with you, senior sister, right?"
"You?" Wu Ding was infuriated, rolled her eyes at Ye Fan, and said, "Let’s see how you explain to Zhao Jun when you get in there."
Ye Fan walked into the room, and there was no need to explain anything to Li Zhaojun because she trusted him enough. After Ye Fan helped her unlock the source of her Spiritual Energy within her body, Li Zhaojun no longer had to rely solely on the "external force" provided by Min Shang to heal her injuries but could restore her original Spiritual Energy through self-healing.
"The progress is very good. It seems not long now before you can be as you were before," Ye Fan said to Li Zhaojun with a smile, just as she took a breath.
"Hmm." Li Zhaojun nodded slightly, like a gentle breeze brushing against Ye Fan’s cheek, creating a wonderful feeling.
Wu Ding watched from the side and was a bit envious, saying, "Tsk tsk, the little couple hasn’t even beco one yet, and they’re already so lovey-dovey. It’s really hard to watch."
Elder Wu and Li Bei knew Ye Fan was back. They had already walked to the door and called out, "It’s ti to go."
Ye Fan still helped Li Zhaojun as they ca out. Lin Shan and her apprentice Han Qing’er were also there, along with Jiang Ting, a disciple of the Mingyuan Sect.
"The location of Mingyuan Sect is in Zhongnan Mountain. It’s quite a hassle to find," Han Qing’er said.
Ye Fan thought for a mont and said, "Zhongnan Mountain? Isn’t it easy for ordinary people to disturb it?"
Han Qing’er smiled and said, "Young Master Ye might not be aware that there are many scattered cultivators around Zhongnan Mountain, many of whom are ordinary people. The Dao they practice is mostly about maintaining a clear, quiet mind, and even if a few Mingyuan Sect disciples occasionally co out, they are regarded as reclusive cultivators, separated from the mundane world. Nobody would guess they are truly cultivating for immortality."
"I see," said Ye Fan. "Then where is the Mingyuan Sect’s entrance?"
Han Qing’er explained, "It’s in an underground cave, several thousand zhang above the ground, with a deep pool at the bottom that leads to the earth’s depths. This is how the Mingyuan Sect manages to obtain a relatively abundant supply of Spiritual Energy, and it has nurtured a few cultivators at the Golden Core Stage. However, compared with you, Young Master Ye, and several high masters, there is still a gap."
Wu Ding laughed, "There’s a place like this on Earth?"
They all went up to the rooftop, where Elder Wu pointed to Han Qing’er and said, "You lead the way."
Han Qing’er hesitated and said, "With my current cultivation level, I can’t handle a flying sword. I’m afraid I need Young Master Ye..."
"Trying to seduce my junior brother? Forget it, he doesn’t even want , his senior sister, why would he be interested in you?" Wu Ding said this without any concern for the setting, almost like publicly declaring her feelings for Ye Fan, "Co over and go with , you guide the way, and I’ll lead."
...
The group of eight took advantage of the night and headed toward Zhongnan Mountain, where the Mingyuan Sect’s entrance is located.
In the night sky, they moved quickly, reaching the skies above Zhongnan Mountain in less than an hour. Wu Ding pointed to the dark mountains below and asked, "Where exactly?"
"Please wait, senior, let use the compass to locate it."
Han Qing’er took out an Eight Diagram Compass, and through observing the celestial phenona and the Eight Diagrams, she found a spot that resembled a pool near a low hill with small streams around it, but no visible entrance.
"It’s in the pool; this pond is dozens of ters deep, which ordinary people cannot dive into. Inside, it’s filled with Spiritual Energy," Han Qing’er pointed at the pool reflecting the moonlight.
"I’ll try the depth first!"
Elder Wu led the way, and soon he sent a voice transmission, "Safe."
The rest then plunged directly into the pool below, which had a small space at its bottom. It wasn’t solid ground but like a bubble through which they could pass without letting the water in.
Entering below the pool at night, it was completely dark all around. Wu Ding took out a luminous crystal from her storage ring, instantly illuminating the area.
The surrounding area resembled a cave. From a distant turn in the cave, suddenly two sword-wielding disciples appeared. One shouted, "Who goes there?"
"Probably small fry," Wu Ding said with a cold smile. With a wave of her hand, she "sucked" the two male disciples over, "Tell , is this the Mingyuan Sect?"
"Who are you to oppose the Tianjue Sect?" One male disciple, already under Wu Ding’s foot, still spoke arrogantly.
"Tianjue Sect? Isn’t this the Mingyuan Sect?" Wu Ding scrutinized Han Qing’er.
But Jiang Ting next to them quickly said, "This is indeed my Mingyuan Sect. The Tianjue Sect, one of Earth’s three major sects, may have taken advantage while our Mingyuan Sect disciples went to Tianhai Sect to attack our mountain entrance. Han Qing’er, it’s all your doing; you must have called these people!"
Accused, Han Qing’er retaliated, "Nonsense, I followed Young Master Ye and several high masters here. With their cultivation levels, not just your Mingyuan Sect, but even if the three major sects combined, they wouldn’t be opponents. Why would I bother going through the trouble to enlist Tianjue Sect?"
"What a hassle," Wu Ding thought about crushing the two male disciples beneath her feet but decided that outright creating conflict with Earth’s cultivators wouldn’t be good, "Forget it, this grandaunt is in a good mood today, I’ll let you go!"
With that, she kicked out, like kicking a football, sending the two Tianjue Sect male disciples flying through the bubble and soaring into the sky. These two male disciples were at most mid-Foundation Establishnt Stage cultivators, and with such a kick, once they land, they would either die or be crippled.
Ye Fan said, "Senior sister, weren’t you a bit too ruthless?"
"And this is called ruthless?" Wu Ding spread her hands, "If we weren’t the stronger ones, they wouldn’t just kill us. I’m afraid that I, your Zhao Jun, and Miss Min wouldn’t escape unscathed. That’s the rule of the cultivation world, aren’t we the at on the chopping board if we’re not the knife? Junior brother, you’re too kind sotis."
Elder Wu used his Spiritual Sense to probe deeper and said, "It seems many have co. Let’s go."
Ye Fan thought to himself, he really was a calamity star, wherever he went, people would be slaughtered there.
Going down quickly from the cave, it appeared to be a hollow, like an underground cavern, several hundred ters deep. They leaped down, landing steadily. The ground was littered with many corpses, all cultivators, but most were disciples at the Foundation Establishnt Stage, and the Mingyuan Sect’s disciples were mostly at the Qi Cultivation Stage.
"Sister!" Jiang Ting shouted, noticing in the distance a woman being humiliated by several Tianjue Sect male disciples. The woman’s cultivation was almost gone, leaving just her body, without even the strength to struggle.
"Ha, another group has co, and these look much better," comnted several Tianjue Sect male disciples. Seeing won as stunning as Min Shang, Li Zhaojun, and Wu Ding, they disregarded the Mingyuan Sect female disciple who had been tortured into near-death and approached.
An unprecedented strong recomndation for a very good book "Wang Family Style." I guarantee you, if it’s not good, you can curse !
