Ye Fan's consciousness was extremely strong. A small golden lake formed between his brows. With a casual sweep, he sensed Elder Wu Qingfeng's cultivation — Celestial Bridge Realm.
"Elder, I have something to give you." Here, his expression turned solemn and he said in a low voice, "You must keep it well and don't let others know. Otherwise, it will harm you."
Elder Wu Qingfeng was a bit surprised. He didn't know why Ye Futian would say that and revealed a confused expression.
"Go find a clean jade bottle."
When Ye Fan took out the pristine jade bottle and poured out a drop of the divine spring water, a dense life essence immediately appeared. The old man was immediately shocked.
"This is … such a strong life energy!"
"Even if this spring water can't heal the dead, it's enough to save lives," Ye Fan said solemnly. The elder had taken care of him and he was a grateful person. He was about to leave the Yan Land and didn't know when he could return. Naturally, he wanted to repay the elder.
"This water is too precious. I can't take it. Put it away." Elder Wu Qingfeng shook his head and refused.
"Don't say anything else. I'm sincere …"
In the end, Ye Fan filled a jade gourd with spring water and stuffed it into the elder's hand. He reminded again, "Don't let others know."
Elder Wu Qingfeng observed the water carefully and sensed the endless life energy. He knew it probably had a great background. He looked at Ye Fan in confusion and said, "This is …"
"Don't ask."
The elder couldn't guess that this water was from a holy mountain in the Barren Land. If he knew, he would probably be dumbfounded.
"This matter is over. I'm leaving the Yan Land. Elder, take care." Ye Fan bowed to the elder.
"Child, where are you going? Are you really going to the Jade Lake Sacred Land?" Elder Wu Qingfeng looked at him and advised sincerely, "The Jade Lake Sacred Land is thousands of mountains and rivers away from the Yan Land. It's too far. Mortals can't get there in their entire lives. Don't take the risk. Even if you do get there, I'm afraid …"
"Don't worry. I have my own plans. Even if I don't go there, I'll still travel the world. The Eastern Barren Land is so big. If I don't go there, I'll be wasting my time."
Then, Ye Fan asked the elder if the things he left in the Spirit Ruin Grotto-heaven were still there.
"I need to send someone to ask. After you and Pang Bo disappeared, the sect bestowed the valley to someone else. The things were most likely taken away. I just don't know if they're still there."
"Okay, I'll take a walk outside." Ye Fan was about to leave, so he wanted to take a look at the Primal Ruins.
The ruins were right next to the Spirit Ruins Paradise, and the two were originally one. Looking from afar, the mountains in front of them had collapsed, and the plants had withered. It was desolate and silent. The green mountains and valleys had transformed into scorched earth, and the plants here had lost their vitality a long time ago. This place had actually become a barren land, and it was like the difference between the heavens and the earth when it was filled with vitality in the past.
The towering ancient trees, the flourishing vegetation, all of them were destroyed. Nothing was left, only a deathly cold and desolate atmosphere.
"Countless cultivators from the Eastern Barren Land came here to open the Demon God's Yin Tomb. Blood and death continued for three years. This place is completely ruined." Ye Fan sighed.
He was glad that he left decisively. Otherwise, he would probably not be in this world now. In the distance, the broken mountains recorded the terrible things that had happened in the past three years. Just thinking about the destructive power sent chills down people's spines.
"Pang Bo disappeared here. I wonder where he is now?" Ye Fan came to the Five Finger Mountain. Unfortunately, he didn't find anything. The perfect girl and the other demon experts were nowhere to be found.
Then, he came to the Demon God's Yin Tomb. The pond was as deep as ink. It was so dark that it was terrifying. A gloomy aura rushed into the sky, making the sun cold. Only the mountain ridge where the cold pond was located was preserved. The surrounding mountains had all collapsed. This place was dark red, completely dyed red by the blood of cultivators. The mountains of corpses had been cleared away, but dried blood was left behind. The black bloodstains proved the cruelty of the past.
"Pang Bo … when I have the power, I will find you and save you." Ye Fan left and returned to the Spirit Ruins Grotto.
In front of him, a waterfall fell from the beautiful celestial mountain. It was like a silver waterfall hanging on the mountain wall.
A few young men and women were standing not far from the waterfall. One of them was a woman who looked to be in her twenties. She wore a light yellow dress with a jade belt that accentuated her slender waist. Her exquisite body was even more alluring, and she was very pretty. There was a beauty mole at the corner of her mouth, which made her look even more alluring.
When Ye Fan passed by the waterfall, the girl revealed a suspicious expression. Then, as if she remembered something, she sneered: "So it's you!"
Ye Fan naturally recognized this girl. She was the immortal seedling of the Spirit Ruins Grotto — Li Lin. She had a good relationship with Han Feiyu. Three years ago, she went against him and Pang Bo in the Primordial Ruins and stood up for Han Feiyu.
There were a few people in front of the waterfall. A young man in his twenties turned around. The moment he saw Ye Fan, he was startled at first, then revealed his murderous intent. He said coldly: "So it's you. That year, you escaped by luck and still dare to come to my Spirit Ruins Grotto."
This man was not unfamiliar. He was Li Yun. His talent was not inferior to immortal seedlings. He had always been by Li Lin's side.
Ye Fan smiled and pretended not to know them. He said: "Who are you? Why are you blocking my way?"
"You think you can fool us by pretending to be crazy?" Li Lin's pretty face was cold. Her apricot eyes flickered with a cold light. She said: "It's been three years. There's not a moment that I haven't wanted to see you again. I never thought that you would really dare to come back."
"Am I so charming that it's worth it for you to miss me like this? Of course, I'm definitely stronger than that fellow beside you. "
Li Yun's expression was gloomy. He looked at him coldly and said: "You're trash that can't cultivate. You're about to die, yet you're still talking nonsense. What else can you do?"
"I say, do the two of you have that much hatred between us?" Ye Fan calmly asked with a smile.
"Let's not talk about the grudge between you and junior brother Han. Just the fact that you lured out the Jade Horned Snake in the Primordial Ruins and ambushed us is something that cannot be forgotten. I once swore that if I met trash like you again, I would definitely kill you!" Li Yun recalled the past. His expression was like a block of ice, cold and eerie.
Li Lin was also shrieking. All sorts of events from that day floated up in her mind, making her feel like she was going crazy. In the Primordial Ruins, if not for Elder Han suddenly appearing and killing that Jade Horned Snake, she and Li Yun would definitely have been devoured by that old snake. At that time, she once swore that she would grind Ye Fan's bones to dust. Now that she unexpectedly saw him again, she was so moved that she trembled. She coldly said: "I never thought that we would meet again. You can't even cultivate, yet you repeatedly contradicted us and almost caused our deaths. You trash, today, I will definitely kill you!"
Li Yun's expression was almost sinister. He said: "There's no need to waste words with him. I will personally torture him to death." With that, he walked forward.
At the side, the other young disciples all looked as if they were watching a show.
"I have an impression of him. Back then, he was together with that immortal seedling Pang Bo. Later on, the two of them disappeared at the same time."
"That's right. I also remember. They once beat Han Feiyu half to death and threw a few people into the mud pond."
Li Lin and Li Yun pressed forward at the same time. Their faces carried cruel smiles. The two of them still had an understanding of Ye Fan from a few years ago. It was impossible for them to know that he was already a Divine Bridge Realm cultivator.
"I want to see the scene of him kneeling down and begging for mercy …" Li Lin said. She felt that directly killing Ye Fan wouldn't give her the satisfaction of revenge. Only by humiliating him would she feel satisfied.
"Why aren't you kneeling down!" Li Yun coldly shouted. He came forward with large strides and looked down at Ye Fan with a cold expression.
"In this world, there is no one worthy of me kneeling down. Just the two of you …" Ye Fan indifferently swept his gaze over them.
Li Lin was a seedling and Li Yun was talented. After three years, the two of them had already reached the Life Spring Realm. Very few people dared to offend them. They had always been praised as geniuses by the people around them. Now that they were ridiculed by the trash in their eyes, their faces naturally turned green.
"If I tell you to kneel, you have no choice but to kneel!" Li Yun directly kicked at Ye Fan's knees. How strong was a Life Spring Realm cultivator? If he stepped on the knees of a mortal, his bones would definitely shatter.
"Even if there were a hundred trash like you, it wouldn't be enough." Ye Fan nimbly took a few steps back. He had reached the Divine Bridge Realm, so he didn't care about people like this. He didn't want to lower himself to their level.
"A trash like you dares to call me trash?!" Li Yun's voice was cold. He had always been seen as a genius, but now he was being looked down upon by a mortal. His expression was extremely ugly. He twisted his right leg and heavily kicked at Ye Fan's chin.
After reaching his current realm, although Ye Fan didn't want to lower himself to their level, it didn't mean he had to endure. With a "peng" sound, he grabbed Li Yun's ankle and swung him up, heavily smashing him onto the ground.
It was extremely clean and efficient, like the floating clouds and flowing water. The crowd only saw a blur in front of their eyes. Li Yun was lying on the ground like a dead dog, moaning in pain and unable to get up.
Li Lin felt that something was wrong. She didn't move forward, but was about to take out her weapon and directly kill Ye Fan.
However, once Ye Fan moved, how could he give her the chance to attack? He left behind an afterimage in his original position and instantly appeared in front of Li Lin. His palm cut into her neck, causing her to faint on the spot. He then lifted her up and with a "putong" sound, threw her into the deep pool under the waterfall.
"Gulp, gulp …"
The half-conscious Li Lin drank an unknown amount of water from the pool. Her body quickly swelled up.
"You trash …" Li Yun painfully moaned and struggled to sit up. A murderous intent flashed across his face, and the light of the Bitter Sea flashed.
"Peng!"
However, Ye Fan didn't give him the chance to take out his weapon. One foot stepped forward, forcibly dispersing the light. At the same time, his other foot stepped out, trampling Li Yun to the ground.
All of this looked very simple. The two Life Spring Realm cultivators didn't seem to know how to cultivate. They were easily subdued by Ye Fan, causing the surrounding people to think that it was just a coincidence.
"Trash …" Li Yun was going crazy. He also thought that it was a coincidence. He didn't know that Ye Fan had returned to his natural state. Just a few simple moves contained endless mysteries. His lungs were about to explode from anger.
"So what if you're a genius. If you're really a genius, then you're just someone to be stepped on." Speaking up to here, Ye Fan was very unkind. He stamped the sole of his shoe on Li Yun's face. In order to make sure it wasn't clear, he repeatedly stamped up and down, left and right.
"You … I'll kill you!" Li Yun's face was swollen, and his eyes were spitting fire.
"Peng!"
Ye Fan kicked him to the bottom of the waterfall, and then he left without looking back. He had no interest in these two people at all.
The people in front of the waterfall were dumbfounded. Seeing Ye Fan walk away, and then seeing the two unconscious people in the water, they couldn't believe their eyes.
Ye Fan came to Elder Wu Qingfeng's residence and waited for a while before the old man returned.
"Do you still have the things I left here?"
Elder Wu Qingfeng frowned and said, "It's still here, but …"
"What's wrong?" Ye Fan was a little confused.
"I went to ask for it on your behalf, but …" Elder Wu Qingfeng was a little embarrassed. He opened his mouth but didn't say anything.
"Could it be that someone wants to take it for themselves and not return it to me?" Ye Fan asked.
As an elder of the Spirit Ruin Paradise, Elder Wu Qingfeng naturally felt ashamed. He pulled Ye Fan's hand and said, "Come with me, I'll help you get it back."
"Who wants to keep my things? Aren't those broken bronze artifacts already destroyed? They're basically worthless."
"It's Elder Han Yishui. He has a special interest in smithing and has been researching the bronze lamp, vajra, and bronze plaque of the Great Leiyin Temple for a long time."
"Elder Han …" Ye Fan was startled and immediately asked for the details. Just as he had guessed, Elder Han Yishui was Han Feiyu's grandfather.
Elder Han was Han Feiyu's great uncle. Ye Fan had long heard that Han Feiyu's grandfather was also an elder of the Spirit Ruin Paradise.
The valley where Han Yishui lived was quiet and lively. It was filled with verdant trees, strange stones, bridges, and pavilions. It was a picturesque scene.
In a pavilion, three old men were sitting there drinking tea. When they saw Elder Wu Qingfeng and Ye Fan walking over, the skinny, pale-faced old man immediately frowned.
"Elder Han, I've brought this child here. Return the bronze artifacts to him."
The pale faced Han Yishui sized up Ye Fan a few times, then looked at Wu Qingfeng and said indifferently: "Isn't the bronze artifact my sect's disciple Pang Bo? How can it be related to him?"
"You …" Elder Wu Qingfeng's expression changed.
Ye Fan also felt uncomfortable and said, "Elder Han Yishui, how can you say that? Some of the bronze artifacts belong to me, and some belong to Pang Bo. Now that Pang Bo is missing and I'm his best friend, how can you say that I'm not related to him? "
Han Yishui's face instantly darkened and he said coldly, "Who are you? This place is filled with elders of the Spirit Ruin Paradise, and their cultivation bases are all at the Divine Bridge Realm. What we're talking about are cultivation secret techniques. How can a mere mortal like you set foot in this place? Get out of here! "
Elder Wu Qingfeng's expression immediately turned ugly and he said, "Han Yishui, what do you mean by this?"
Ye Fan was also angered. He didn't expect Han Yishui to act in such a condescending and righteous manner. Not only did he take his Buddhist artifact for himself, he even mocked him like this.
Han Yishui's expression was calm as he smiled at Elder Wu Qingfeng and said, "What I mean is that this valley is an important place. A mere mortal like him doesn't have the right to enter."
"I'm only here to take back what belongs to me," Ye Fan's expression was calm as he stared at Han Yishui and said, "Elder Han, please return the bronze artifacts to me."
"What does the bronze artifacts have to do with you?" Han Yishui glanced at him and said, "I've already made myself clear. They belong to my sect's disciple, Pang Bo. Now that he's gone missing, his belongings naturally belong to my Spirit Ruin Paradise. Why are you, an outsider, getting involved? You've never joined my sect, so you don't have the right to speak. What right do you have? Hurry up and leave. " As he said that, his expression sank and he said, "You're trespassing on my sect's important place. If you don't leave now, you'll be in danger!"
