In the dense forest, Akatsuki, who was wearing a crystal mask, frowned and glanced in the direction of the Heaven Lake from time to time.
Ye Fan had been gone for a long time, which made her start to worry.
Did Fujita Takeshi and Sato Kawa Kai find Ye Fan? Was Ye Fan fighting with the two of them now? The two of them had high cultivation. If they fought with Ye Fan, would Ye Fan be in danger?
Akatsuki began to think about it.
That was how people were. The more worried they were about someone, the worse they would think.
At this time, Qinghu had come to his senses and stood aside, waiting for Ye Fan quietly.
"What happened? Why hasn't he come back yet?" Akatsuki, who was standing under the tree, said to herself anxiously.
"Miss Yue, don't worry. Our savior's cultivation is incredible. He will be fine." Seeing that Akatsuki was worried about Ye Fan, Qinghu comforted her.
He had sensed the cultivation of the two Japanese masters on the Heaven Lake. Although they were both top masters, they were not at the same level as Ye Fan's Spiritual Qi.
Akatsuki looked at Qinghu and nodded slightly.
Qinghu was right. On the warship that day, Sato Kawa Kai, Bamu Changqing, Green-eyed Boy, and Kato Nagato could not do anything to Ye Fan. Now, only Sato Kawa Kai and Fujita Takeshi were left. They should not be a threat to Ye Fan.
It seemed that she was overthinking. Akatsuki thought to herself.
Whoosh! While the two of them were talking, Ye Fan suddenly appeared in front of them.
"You're finally back. What took you so long?" Seeing Ye Fan, Akatsuki was finally relieved.
"Don't worry. I'm fine." Ye Fan said to Akatsuki.
"My savior." Qinghu saluted Ye Fan.
"How is it? Did you sense the Koi? "Ye Fan asked when he saw that Green Fox had come to her senses.
Qinghu nodded.
"What did he say?" Ye Fan asked.
"Everything is as Benefactor said. There is indeed an invisible and powerful barrier beneath the Heavenly Lake." Qinghu replied to Ye Fan. "When Brother Jin came to the Heavenly Lake to cultivate, he discovered this barrier."
When Ye Fan heard this, he was overjoyed.
There was indeed a divine cauldron under this heavenly lake!
So far, he had already determined the exact location of the three divine cauldrons!
"You have to keep this a secret. Don't let anyone else know. Just pretend that we never came here," Ye Fan said to Qinghu.
"Don't worry, benefactor. Little Fox will not reveal a single word," Green Fox replied.
"It's all thanks to your help this time," Ye Fan said to Qinghu. "Otherwise, I really wouldn't know what to do."
"What are you saying, benefactor?" Qinghu said to Ye Fan. "Little Fox's life was saved by you. Without you, how could Little Fox be where she is today?"
"Let's not talk about the past," Ye Fan said with a wave of his hand. "Let me ask you, what are your plans in the future? Are you planning to live in the Changbai Mountains?"
"I'm not afraid that you'll laugh at me for telling you this," Qinghu said to Ye Fan. "I grew up in the Changbai Mountains. After you saved me, I've been waiting here to see you. Apart from the Changbai Mountains, I haven't been anywhere else. If I don't live here, where else can I go? "
"I'll introduce you to a place. Would you be willing to go?" Ye Fan asked.
"Where?" Qinghu asked.
"The Thousand Demon Hall," Ye Fan replied.
"The Thousand Demon Hall?" Qinghu exclaimed. "Benefactor, are you talking about Nie Qing's Thousand Demon Hall?"
"What? Apart from Nie Qing's Thousand Demon Hall, are there any other Thousand Demon Halls? "Ye Fan asked with a smile.
"Benefactor, you … you can let me join the Thousand Demon Hall?" Qinghu couldn't believe Ye Fan's words.
"You've worshipped my memorial tablet for over three hundred years, yet you didn't know that I was best friends with the Hall Master of the Thousand Demon Hall, Nie Qing, and the Tower Master of the Myriad Immortal Tower, Bai Sheng?" Ye Fan said with a smile.
It seemed that Qinghu was indeed as he said. She had been living here ever since she was an ordinary fox and had never left the Changbai Mountains. Otherwise, it would have been impossible for her not to know about this.
"You … you were best friends with them?" Qinghu exclaimed again.
Over the years, she had heard about Eldritch from other spiritual beasts. She had also heard about the Hall Master of the Thousand Demon Hall, Nie Qing, and the Tower Master of the Myriad Immortal Tower, Bai Sheng. However, she had never thought that the three of them were best friends!
"How about it? Are you willing to join the Thousand Demon Hall? "Ye Fan asked with a smile.
"I'm willing, of course I'm willing!" Qinghu cupped her hands and said excitedly to Ye Fan.
For a demon, being able to join the Thousand Demon Hall was simply a great blessing! Even in her dreams, she had never thought that she would be able to join the Thousand Demon Hall and become Nie Qing's disciple one day!
"Head to the Eastern Ocean Continent right now and raise a yellow flag with the words' Nie Qing 'written on it. When the time comes, someone from the Thousand Demon Hall will naturally contact you," Ye Fan said to Qinghu. "When you meet the people from the Thousand Demon Hall, tell them that I recommended you to Hall Master Nie. They will naturally accept you."
"The Eastern Ocean Continent?" Qinghu asked in confusion. "The Thousand Demon Hall is in the Eastern Ocean?"
"It's not the Thousand Demon Hall in the Eastern Ocean Continent, but Nie Qing." Ye Fan said, "You're pure and kind, keep your promise, and have a benevolent heart. The Thousand Demon Hall will definitely accept you."
"But benefactor," Qinghu asked Ye Fan, "Will the people from the Thousand Demon Hall believe that you recommended me just based on Qinghu's words?"
"Don't worry about that. You're not the first person I've recommended to them," Ye Fan said to Qinghu. "You already have a part of my spiritual power in your body. Hall Master Nie will know once he sees you."
Hearing this, Qinghu nodded as if she had suddenly understood.
"When you see Hall Master Nie, thank him for me. Tell him that I'm grateful to him and Bai Sheng," Ye Fan said to Qinghu.
"What are you thanking him for?" Qinghu asked.
"You just have to thank him for me. He will naturally understand," Ye Fan said.
When he went to the Eastern Ocean Continent to look for the Soul Gathering Evil Cauldron, if not for Nie Qing and Bai Sheng secretly protecting him, he might have been killed by Xie Tian's subordinates and died in the Eastern Ocean Continent. Now that he had something important to do and could not meet the two of them, he could only ask Qinghu to express his gratitude to them.
"I'll remember," Qinghu cupped her hands and said to Ye Fan.
"There's no time to lose. You should leave now," Ye Fan said to Qinghu. "With your current movement technique, you should be able to reach the Eastern Ocean Continent before dawn."
"Benefactor, once I leave, I don't know when I'll be able to see you again." Qinghu cupped her hands and lowered her head. She pleaded with Ye Fan, "May I be so bold as to ask benefactor to remove your mask so that I can see your true appearance?"
"Sure," Ye Fan said as he reached out to take off the white jade mask on his face.
Qinghu looked up at Ye Fan and saw that Ye Fan's face was like the autumn moon and his eyes were like cold stars. His hair was as black as ink and his temples were as sharp as a knife. With his long silver hair, he looked like a True Immortal from the Heaven Realm.
"I'll remember your appearance, Benefactor." Qinghu cupped her hands and said to Ye Fan, "Benefactor, Sister Xiao Zhao, take care. I'll take my leave."
"Be careful on the way," Ye Fan said, "If there's a chance, I'll go to the Eastern Ocean Continent to see you."
Qinghu nodded and bowed deeply to Ye Fan. Then, she used her movement technique and turned into a ray of green light. She soared into the sky and rushed in the direction of the Eastern Ocean Continent.
Ye Fan stood with his hands behind his back and looked up at Qinghu's departing figure in a daze.
He did not know when he would be able to bring his beloved wife back to the Eastern Ocean Continent to see his two best friends from his previous life whom he had never met.
Ye Fan thought to himself.
"What should we do now? Are we going back to the Eastern Ocean? "Akatsuki asked as she led Ye Fan to the front.
"We're not going back to the Eastern Ocean for the time being," Ye Fan said as he put the white jade mask back on. Then, he waved his sleeve and used the Cloud Riding Technique.
Whoosh … Clouds and mist immediately swirled under their feet. They slowly floated off the ground and rose into the sky.
"We're not going back to the Eastern Ocean?" Akatsuki, who was on the Auspicious Clouds, was a little surprised.
"Let's find a place to settle down first," Ye Fan said to Akatsuki as the Auspicious Clouds under his feet kept rising.
"Settle down?" Akatsuki asked in confusion.
"In five or six days at most, Matsumoto Takeyoshi's shadow ninja will arrive at the Heavenly Lake and give the two new orders," Ye Fan said to Akatsuki. "I have to know what Matsumoto Takeyoshi's next plan is."
"You want to know the orders that Matsumoto Takeyoshi gave to Fujita Tsuyoshi and the others?" Akatsuki asked with a frown.
Ye Fan nodded.
If he guessed correctly, the divine cauldron under the Heavenly Lake should be the first divine cauldron that Matsumoto Takeyoshi found after coming to the Great Ming Dynasty.
Since Matsumoto Takeyoshi's real goal was to obtain the inscriptions inside the divine cauldron, he must know that the divine cauldron was protected by a barrier.
Qing Chenzi had once told him that other than the Yin Yang Immortal's power, there was no other way to break the Nine Cauldrons' barrier.
'I wonder if Matsumoto Takeyoshi knows this.' Ye Fan thought in his heart.
The only thing he could do now was to wait, wait for the orders from the shadow ninja.
"Didn't you say that you want to find a place to settle down? Why do you want to leave the Changbai Mountains? "Akatsuki looked at the mountains, rivers, and earth that were constantly flying under the Auspicious Clouds and asked Ye Fan.
At this moment, the Auspicious Clouds under their feet had already flown past the boundary of the Changbai Mountains.
"We can't settle down in the Changbai Mountains now, it would be too easy to expose our whereabouts." Ye Fan said, "Once one of the two comes down the mountain, it is very likely that they will discover us. That Fujita Tsuyoshi is proficient in Qimen Dunjia, we have to maintain at least a distance of 500 miles from them to be safe. "
Akatsuki nodded.
The Auspicious Clouds under their feet were extremely fast, and soon, they had drifted six to seven hundred miles away.
Ye Fan saw that the distance was about right, so he began to put away the Auspicious Clouds and looked down.
Right below the Auspicious Clouds, a bustling town entered his sight.
It was already late at night, and the residents of the town had already gone to sleep. Other than the occasional dog barking, the town was completely silent.
"This place is not far from the Changbai Mountains, let's settle down here." Ye Fan turned his head and said to Akatsuki.
"En." Akatsuki nodded.
