The emperor jade in Ye Fan's hand was a little warm. He carefully put it away and looked back at Mystic Moon Cavern before disappearing into the horizon.
He returned to Qingxia and found that he couldn't go into seclusion even if he wanted to. The Fire Sect, Sunset Gate, and Seven Star Pavilion couldn't hold back and seemed ready to attack at any time.
He had just taken down Qingxia and these sects wanted to pick the fruits of his labor, robbing him midway. This made him feel quite displeased.
"The Fire Sect has come to visit," a Qingxia disciple transmitted.
"Fight them out!" Ye Fan didn't wait for the three elders to say anything and directly ordered.
"It's the eldest disciple of the Fire Sect. Do we … do we fight them out?" The disciples looked at the three Qingxia Elders, troubled.
"What's so great about the eldest disciple of the Fire Sect? If we chase them out, we won't see them." Ye Fan waved his hand.
"That … isn't very good." The three Qingxia Elders got up and patiently explained, "The Fire Sect is very strong, no weaker than Mystic Moon Cavern."
"Don't tell me they also have an old monster like the Highest Sect Leader." Ye Fan looked at the three.
One of the elders smiled bitterly and said, "In fact, they have two old monsters. They were already at the third level of the Holy Zhi Palace eight years ago."
"And it's not just one? Two of them jumped out at once?" Ye Fan was speechless. He had just stabilized Mystic Moon Cavern and now the Fire Sect had come.
"The eldest disciple of the Fire Sect, Du Chengkun, requests an audience." A leisurely voice came from the mountain gate and reached the main peak of Qingxia.
"They really think we are weak. They dare to stand outside the mountain gate and disturb the peace of Qingxia." The three elders were angry.
For a sect, this was a very rude action. First it was Li You Ran, and then it was Du Chengkun. Such a transmission was really looking down on Qingxia.
"They have already seen the truth and are no longer afraid." Ye Fan sneered and then revealed a look of surprise. "The sects around you are all so ambitious. With a powerhouse at the third level of the Holy Zhi Palace holding down the fort, I really don't know how you survived."
"Qingxia also has such a powerhouse."
"What?" Ye Fan was shocked.
"A few months ago, he went berserk and passed away." An elder smiled helplessly.
"So in this way, if I came a step earlier, then I might have perished?" Ye Fan rubbed his chin as he'd slightly underestimated Qing Xia.
"The eldest disciple of the Li Fire Sect's Sect Leader, Du Chengkun, requests an audience." The leisurely voice rang out again, this time, it was clearly nearer.
"Let him in." Ye Fan sneered. He then stood up and said, "I'm going to call a friend."
A moment later, he appeared in the guise of the heartless Taoist Duan De.
The three Elders of the Green Dawn Sect looked at each other in dismay. They opened their mouths as if they wanted to say something, but no words came out.
Not long after, the eldest disciple of the Li Fire Sect arrived at the foot of the Green Cloud Main Peak. He didn't ascend the stairs but flew straight up.
This was also a form of contempt. If the sect was strong enough, the mountain bearers wouldn't dare to casually fly within the sect.
When he arrived at the main peak, Du Chengkun didn't give the courtesy of a junior. He clasped his hands in a very perfunctory manner and said, "Greetings, seniors. My master has asked me to deliver a letter to your Sect Leader."
"The Sect Leader is in seclusion. You can leave the letter and we will deliver it," the Elder of the Green Dawn Sect said in a low voice.
"That won't do. This is a matter of great importance. My master has repeatedly told me that I must personally deliver it to the Sect Leader." Du Chengkun shook his head.
"Isn't it the same if we deliver it? This is the Green Dawn Sect and the Sect Leader is in seclusion. Do you think he would come out just for you?" An Elder of the Green Dawn Sect said with a sullen face. He felt very unhappy.
Du Chengkun's face revealed a trace of arrogance. He said, "This is the Sect Leader's letter. Naturally, the Sect Leader has to personally receive it. No one else can."
"What nonsense are you spouting!" Ye Fan sneered. He stretched out a large hand that turned into a millstone and slammed it down.
"Bang!"
This was a very heavy blow. With one slap, Du Chengkun's entire body was slammed to the ground. Many of the bones in his body were broken.
"Who are you? How dare you attack me? You should know that I am here on behalf of the Li Fire Sect. Are you trying to start a war between two sects?" Du Chengkun's mouth was bleeding. He climbed up with difficulty. His arrogance was somewhat restrained, but he still seemed very confident.
"I am Duan De!" Ye Fan reported his name.
"Where are you from? Why did you attack me for no reason?" Du Chengkun stood up and wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth. He raised his eyebrows. He was the eldest disciple of the Li Fire Sect. He was proud and arrogant. He had never been humiliated like this before.
"Go back and tell your Sect Leader that my master is staying in the Green Dawn Sect. I don't want small fries to come and annoy me. If you haven't cultivated to the third secret realm — Four Extremities, don't come and die."
Ye Fan swung his palm again. The millstone-sized palm covered Du Chengkun again and slammed him down the main peak of the Green Dawn Sect.
He used the Nine Secret Offensive Sacred Technique and left a very special injury on Du Chengkun's body. If Du Chengkun were to investigate, he would definitely be shocked.
"Daoist Duan, you …" The elder of the Azure Mist Sect was truly speechless. This person was even more fearless than the young devil king. He had even sent the eldest disciple of the Mythical Fire Sect flying.
"Don't worry. The more you lower your voice, the more they will attack." Ye Fan sneered. "I am sure that after seeing Du Chengkun's injury, they will not dare to attack."
"Reporting to the Elders. The disciples of the Seven Stars Pavilion and the Sunset Sect are asking for an audience."
"Let them in." Ye Fan waved his hand.
"Master, you can't be thinking of …" The three Elders of the Green Dawn Sect asked in a low voice.
Sure enough, it was just as they expected. Ye Fan called those two over and directly gave them a round of slaps, beating them until they wailed like ghosts and howled like gods. He slapped them until their bones were broken and their tendons snapped, and then he chased them out of the green mist.
"This …" The disciples of the Green Dawn Sect looked at each other. Which Taoist temple did this master come from? Wasn't he too fierce?
"If I don't beat them up, I won't be able to vent my anger. Do they really think they are the Holy Son? Running to me and telling me what to do. It is good enough that I left them alive."
"Master, you are too … direct. This will cause a big mess." The three Elders were frightened.
"It was to solve the problem that I beat them up."
Ye Fan had no other choice. He could only do this. Otherwise, if he showed weakness, he was sure that the Green Dawn Sect would be destroyed immediately.
Others pretended to be pigs to eat tigers, but he had no choice but to pretend to be a tiger to eat pigs. He had to show that he was strong enough and bring up a non-existent master to temporarily intimidate the other party.
"I am going to ask some friends for help. I will be away for half a month. I believe they will not dare to attack during this time." Ye Fan decided to find a place to go into seclusion.
"Master, if you leave like this …" The people of the Green Dawn Sect were a little dumbfounded.
"It's fine. Don't worry. I will go to those three sects and suppress them."
On that day, Ye Fan left again. He went to the Mythical Fire Sect, the Seven Stars Pavilion, and the Sunset Sect. He was very high-profile, as if he was the successor of a holy land.
Of course, he did not dare to go in. He only strolled around the mountain gate. He did not want to take risks. It would be troublesome if he was blocked by those old monsters.
Even so, the three sects were shocked. They felt that the Green Dawn Sect might really have a cultivator from the third secret realm. Otherwise, this unscrupulous Taoist would not dare to do this.
Before Ye Fan went into seclusion, he went to Flat Rock City. He needed to understand the situation of the Jade Lake Holy Maiden so that he would not miss her.
He was surprised to find out that the Jade Lake Holy Maiden went to many cities. It was very likely that she would return to the Jade Lake soon.
"Why are things happening at the same time …" Ye Fan was a little helpless. If he went into seclusion, he might miss this opportunity.
After asking around, some people said that this was a rumor. In fact, it was very likely that the Jade Lake Holy Maiden would go to the Origin Ancient Mine.
"What is she going to do outside the Origin Ancient Mine? Which news is true?" Ye Fan could not be sure.
"Looks like I have to go there myself." He did not want to miss this opportunity no matter what.
It was the safest to be invited by the Jade Lake Holy Maiden because he was good at identifying stones. Otherwise, it would be very easy for him to be exposed if he sneaked in.
Ye Fan was as fast as lightning. After a few days, he arrived at an ancient city called Kunyun. The Jade Lake Holy Maiden had already reached this place.
Kunyun City was located in a barren land. The oasis here was not big, but there were many legends. The locals all believed that there was an ancient deity protecting them.
The Jade Lake Holy Maiden had already stopped here for more than half a month. This puzzled people. They did not know what was so attractive about Kunyun City.
Now, his followers had reached an extremely shocking level. Many young geniuses followed him, and more and more of them followed him.
It had to be said that the Jade Lake Holy Maiden's charm was too great. The Jiang Family, Ji Family, and Alkaid Kingdom all had young disciples following her. There were even princes from the Central Plains.
"Bullsh * t. I heard that the Central Plains has no holy lands, but there are dynasties that have existed for hundreds of thousands of years. Those who are bestowed the title of princes are all extraordinary people. Why would they come from the Central Plains to the Eastern Barren Northern Region for a woman?" Ye Fan shook his head. He did not believe it.
He was already inside Kunyun City. The cultivator who said this glanced at him and said, "Fat Daoist, you are too out of touch with the news."
"How so?"
"It is absolutely true. Even though the princes did not come from the Central Plains, they are close. They should have appeared in the Northern Region's Holy City, but because of the Jade Lake Holy Maiden, they came here."
Ye Fan touched his chin. Did the Jade Lake Holy Maiden really have this kind of charm? How beautiful was she? He could not understand why the Holy Sons of the Great Sage's land and the princes of dynasties that had existed for hundreds of thousands of years followed her.
"Isn't she just a woman?" he mumbled.
"Fat Daoist, you are a monk. It is hard for you to understand. However, if you see the Jade Lake Holy Maiden's true appearance, you will probably return to secular life. "
"I am not that unbearable. Even if the Goddess of the Ninth Heaven descends, I will only treat her as a normal woman. I will not worship her."
"This Daoist has a point. Isn't she just a Holy Maiden? When I am in a good mood, I will take her as my concubine," a bearded young man said.
Ye Fan could tell that this bearded man was definitely a bandit. He looked too much like a bandit. He was probably the descendant of a bandit.
The people at the side all ran away with a "hu la" sound, leaving only Big Beard and Ye Fan.
"Daoist, I like your words. How about we find a place to have a drink?" the bearded young man invited.
Being called Daoist, Ye Fan could only nod. Who asked him to disguise himself as Duan De?
The two of them went to a restaurant and ordered some dishes. The bearded man said, "Let's eat first. I will have friends coming later. Let them order more."
The bearded young man was very forthright. He clinked glasses with Ye Fan and drank 18 bowls of strong liquor.
"Great!" He wiped away the alcohol on the corner of his mouth and laughed. "Are you a Daoist? Why are you not afraid of pork knuckles or roasted lamb? You really are a Daoist who drinks and eats meat. By the way, I have not asked for your name. "
"I am Duan De. My Daoist name is Wuliang," Ye Fan answered.
"I am indeed fated with you. Not only do I feel like I have seen you before, but even your name sounds familiar." The bearded young man had a leopard's head and round eyes. He was tall and burly. He laughed and said his name, "I am Wu Zhongtian."
Ye Fan was moved. Wasn't the fifth bandit in the North Region called Wu Dao? This great man with a bandit's aura might really be a descendant of that bandit.
The fourth bandit was the Green Flood Dragon King, a famous expert of the Demon Race. The seventh bandit was Tu Tian, who possessed the weapon of the Great Ancient Emperor.
Wu Dao was ranked fifth. He was in between the two. His supernatural power was extremely high. His descendants must be super powerful. In fact, Ye Fan already felt that the other party was unfathomable. He had a bold and heroic personality. He was a person worth befriending.
As expected, Ye Fan's guess was confirmed after a short while.
Tu Fei entered the restaurant. Behind him were a few valiant young men. They had met at the Jade Pool Immortal Stone Square in Flat Rock City.
They were all descendants of the great bandits. This was a gathering of small bandits. None of them were easy to deal with. They were not much weaker than the saint children.
"Hey, who is this Daoist grandpa? How come I have never seen him before?" one of them asked.
Tu Fei gulped down a mouthful of wine and asked, "Brother Zhongtian, who is this Daoist grandpa? Introduce him."
Obviously, Wu Zhongtian had a certain prestige among these people. After gulping down a big bowl of wine, he introduced, "I just got to know this Daoist grandpa. I feel like I have met him before. It must be fate. His name is Duan De, and his Daoist name is Immeasurable."
"Yeah, the name sounds familiar to me too," Tu Fei muttered.
Ye Fan felt strange. How could this wicked Daoist have such a wide circle of friends? Not only was he doing well in the South Region, but he could also travel through the void. Could it be that he had connections in the North Region?
If that was the case, it would be too unusual. It should be known that it was too difficult to travel such a long distance. The space gates were controlled by the Holy Lands.
"Brother Zhongtian, the more I think about the name Duan De, the more familiar it sounds. I remember you cursed him eight or nine years ago." Next to him, a descendant of a great bandit mumbled.
Wu Zhongtian seemed to remember something. He rolled his eyes, gazing at Ye Fan. He said angrily, "I was wondering why you looked so familiar. Holy sh * t, turns out it's you!"
"Do we know each other?" Ye Fan felt the situation wasn't good. Before he could make the wicked Daoist a scapegoat, he had to make the wicked Daoist a scapegoat first.
"Although I've never seen you in person, I've seen your portrait. If I burn your bones, I can recognize your ashes!" Wu Zhongtian was flustered and exasperated. He shouted and asked his people to surround Ye Fan. He pointed at him, his fingers shivering. "Holy sh * t, you bastard Daoist. You have guts. You even dare to rob my great-grandfather's grave. My grandfather said that if he caught you, he would imprison you in the Absolute Beginning Ancient Mine! "
The corners of Ye Fan's mouth twitched. This wicked Daoist was a bastard. How could he dare to provoke anyone? He even dared to rob the grave of the fifth great bandit. It was like provoking a thief's ancestor.
"I say, everyone, this has nothing to do with me …" Ye Fan complained. This was a huge scapegoat and he definitely couldn't take it. He cursed Duan De inwardly. He was too lacking in morals.
Wu Zhongtian was enraged. He thought they knew each other. He thought it was fate, so he treated this bastard to a feast and a bowl of wine. He didn't think that they had a grudge. He slammed the table.
"I say, you wicked Daoist, you're too wicked. Even though ZhongTian's ancestor is an almighty expert, you shouldn't just rob randomly. If this spreads out, how will Grandpa Wu Dao, the fifth great bandit, feel?" Tu Fei squinted, adding oil to the fire.
At the end of the world, in an unknown historical site, the fat Daoist Duan De sneezed three times. He cursed, "Who's cursing me? Don't let this Daoist know. Otherwise, I won't let you off!"
At this moment, Ye Fan was speechless. This wicked Daoist had committed so many sins. Seeing a group of small bandits wanting to skin him alive, he hurried to explain, "I'm not Duan De. I have an old debt to settle with him!"
He had to show his real body. If he delayed any longer, he would be torn apart by these bandits.
"Genius brother? I say, are you real or fake? In our line of work, when did we have such an all-rounder like you … "
