Above the clouds, Ye Fan and Akatsuki, who was carrying Baihu, stepped on the clouds and flew towards the north.
"What do you think about this matter?" Ye Fan turned his head and asked Akatsuki.
Firstly, he wanted to ask Akatsuki's opinion to expand his own train of thought. Secondly, he wanted to train Akatsuki's ability to adapt.
"In my opinion, that green snake is not a demon that poisons the people. There must be another reason why it swallowed that Li Caihe." Akatsuki looked at Ye Fan and answered, "Furthermore, that green snake must be related to the treasure in the Treasured Cauldron Mountain. As for whether that treasure is the Treasured Cauldron, I don't know."
"What do you think about that snake demon's temper?" Ye Fan continued to ask Akatsuki.
"From the way that group of people died, that snake demon's temper should not be small." Akatsuki frowned and said, "Just like you, it hates evil."
Ye Fan was first startled when he heard this, then he smiled.
"I … did I say something wrong?" Akatsuki felt that she had said something wrong and hurriedly turned her head to ask Ye Fan.
"You didn't say anything wrong." Ye Fan smiled and said, "Your deduction is very accurate. That snake demon is just like me, it hates evil and is ruthless."
"You are ruthless, but your heart is not ruthless." Akatsuki said.
Ye Fan smiled and did not reply.
The Auspicious Clouds moved as fast as lightning and they covered a distance of a hundred miles in the blink of an eye.
On the ground beneath their feet, a towering mountain stood there quietly.
This mountain was steep and its cliffs were cut into peaks. It was covered in dense forests and overgrown with vegetation. Under the cover of the white morning fog, it appeared rather mysterious.
"It seems that this is the Treasured Cauldron Mountain." Akatsuki looked at the mountain below and said.
Ye Fan did not say anything. Instead, he immediately stopped the Auspicious Clouds and narrowed his eyes to look below.
"What's wrong?" Akatsuki immediately asked when she saw Ye Fan's expression.
It was obvious that Ye Fan had discovered something.
"I didn't expect him to come too." Ye Fan muttered to himself.
He saw a person, a person who could not be called an acquaintance.
"Who? Who's here? "Akatsuki asked in confusion.
"The Headmaster of the Sect, Zhang Shaoyang," Ye Fan, turned his head, and said to Akatsuki.
"Zhang Shaoyang?" Yue Hongji asked.
Ye Fan nodded..
"What is he doing here?" Yue Hongji asked.
She had a deep impression of this person.
During the Demon Slaying Conference, this person was with the Quanzhen Sect's Sect Leader, Yu Xingchen, and had directly defended Ye Fan from being besieged. His cultivation level was unfathomable.
"The disciple of the Celestial Master Abode failed to subdue the demon and went missing instead. The Celestial Master Abode naturally won't let this matter go. However, I didn't expect him to come personally this time." Ye Fan frowned.
"What? Aren't you happy that he's here? "Akatsuki asked Ye Fan in confusion.
Zhang Shaoyang was an upright person. He was carefree and did not bother about trifles. He had helped Ye Fan before. When Ye Fan saw this person, he should be happy. Why was he frowning?
Akatsuki couldn't understand.
"Don't forget, the Imperial Court once gave a decree to the various sects to search for the Nine Cauldrons." Ye Fan turned to Akatsuki and said, "Do you still remember the Thousand Ghosts Formation at the Sishui River?"
Akatsuki was shocked when she heard this.
She understood why Ye Fan was frowning.
Ye Fan was worried that once Zhang Shaoyang learned that there was a divine cauldron here, he would immediately report this matter to the Imperial Court. The Imperial Court would definitely mobilize a large force to search for the cauldrons.
However, that decree was a fake one sent by Xuanji. It was not the will of the old Emperor. Moreover, Zhang Shaoyang was strongly opposed to the Thousand Ghosts Formation and did not participate in the search for the cauldrons at the Sishui River. Ye Fan did not have to worry about this matter at all.
When Akatsuki thought of this, she told Ye Fan her doubts.
"Your thinking is too simple." Ye Fan shook his head with a solemn expression and said slowly, "As the saying goes, times are different. Back then, Xuanji used the Son of Heaven to control the Imperial Court. Now, the Emperor Star is in charge of the Imperial Court. They are two completely different things. Moreover, the decree to search for the Nine Cauldrons was not revoked by the Crown Prince. As long as the decree is not revoked, the various sects cannot slack off. The Emperor Star's descent into the mortal world is a blessing for the country. All the sects will do their best to assist in accordance with the will of Heaven, including Zhang Shaoyang. "
"Why didn't the Crown Prince revoke that decree?" Akatsuki asked in confusion. "That was a fake decree sent by Xuanji."
"You don't understand," Ye Fan said calmly. "As the saying goes, 'The one who obtains the Nine Cauldrons obtains the world'. To the past emperors, obtaining the Nine Cauldrons represents imperial power bestowed by the Heavens. It represents the approval of the Heavens. Now that the Crown Prince is facing the crisis of the Four Kingdoms, of course he hopes to obtain the Nine Cauldrons so that the Four Seas will be at peace and the Ten Thousand Kingdoms will come to court. It is because of this that he did not revoke that decree. "
"Doesn't that Divine Cauldron have an extremely powerful enchantment? Even if the Imperial Court really knows that there is a Divine Cauldron in this Treasured Cauldron Mountain, what can they do? "Akatsuki continued to ask.
"You underestimate the power of the Imperial Court too much," Ye Fan continued to explain. "As the saying goes, 'The Holy Son of Heaven is protected by all spirits'. Now that the Emperor Star is in charge of the Imperial Court, all the powers will gather under his command, responding to the will of the Heavens and the will of the people. Even a despicable person like Lu Yuanshan does not dare to disobey the Crown Prince's decree. Now, as long as the Emperor Star gives the order, all the sects will definitely do their best. Although the enchantment of the Divine Cauldron is powerful, if all the experts of the Dao sects really gather all their powers, breaking the enchantment of the Divine Cauldron is not impossible. "
"But that time at the Sishui River, I did not see how powerful those so-called sect masters were," Akatsuki said.
In her opinion, those sect masters did not even know the Cloud Riding Technique. Even if they gathered in one place, they would not be able to break the enchantment of the Divine Cauldron.
"You are wrong again," Ye Fan looked at Akatsuki and said calmly, "Those Dao sect masters are not the top experts of their sects. Although they are in the position of sect master, they can only be considered as the managers of their sects and not the ones who have achieved it. The true experts of their sects usually do not appear so easily. The two of them were like clothes that blocked the wind and cold. Those Daoist Sect Masters were the face of the clothes. They looked good on the outside but were useless on the inside. On the other hand, those experts were the inner layer of the clothes. They secretly supported the rise and fall of the entire Daoist Sect. This is only the various sects, not counting the Dao sect experts who are Itinerant Cultivators. If these true experts were to join forces, the power they released could completely reach the level of immortal power. Even the enchantment of the Divine Cauldron would be broken. "
"Is there really such an expert in the Dao sect?" Akatsuki asked Ye Fan in shock.
"Of course there is. I have personally experienced it." As Ye Fan spoke, he told Akatsuki about the Yin Ji Daoist and the Jin Ji Daoist when he was rescuing Xiao Zhao in the Great Snow Mountain of Tibet.
Akatsuki nodded slowly.
Before coming to the Great Ming Dynasty, her master, Gu Qingyi, had specially told her that there were many experts in the Great Ming Dynasty, and that there were hidden dragons and crouching tigers.
Ye Fan's words made her understand the ancient saying, 'The wise do not show their true colors'.
"This is not what I am most worried about." Ye Fan said with a serious expression, "Once the imperial court knows that there is a divine cauldron here, Matsumoto Takeyoshi will definitely find out about it. In that case, wouldn't we be helping Matsumoto Takeyoshi?"
"I didn't think of that." Akatsuki said with a frown.
"Remember, Matsumoto Takeyoshi's strength is not as simple as you think." Ye Fan said to Akatsuki, "His strength does not only include these experts, the Black Feather Army, and the Ninja Army. His true core strength is Xie Tian, who is supporting him from behind. Since he dared to come to the Great Ming Dynasty to find the nine cauldrons, he has naturally done his homework. As long as he finds the location of the divine cauldrons, he will definitely have a way to break the enchantment of the divine cauldrons! If Matsumoto Takeyoshi is a tiger, then what he is showing now is only a kitten. "
Ye Fan's words made Akatsuki's heart jump!
Ye Fan's analysis was so accurate that Akatsuki could not help but sigh.
This man's rapid growth was not as simple as his cultivation, his analytical skills and judgment skills were also rapidly increasing!
"Then what should we do now? Do we still want to go down? "Akatsuki asked Ye Fan.
"Zhang Shaoyang's Taoist skills are profound. He has already discovered our whereabouts, so of course we have to go down." Ye Fan turned his head to look down and said, "Moreover, since we have met, how can we not meet?"
As Ye Fan spoke, he flicked his sleeve and urged the Auspicious Clouds to slowly descend.
At the foot of the Treasure Cauldron Mountain, Zhang Shaoyang, who was wearing a golden Taoist robe, was standing in a pavilion. He had a serious expression as he looked up at the white Auspicious Clouds slowly descending from the sky.
Just as Ye Fan had predicted, he had already sensed Ye Fan's aura.
The Auspicious Clouds above his head were rising with the power of heavenly thunder, but there was also the appearance of a Demon Spirit, revealing an evil aura.
Who else could it be other than the Demon King Ye Fan who had survived the heavenly tribulation and was full of evil aura?
Like Ye Fan, Zhang Shaoyang was also puzzled by Ye Fan's appearance.
This time, he came to the Treasure Cauldron Mountain for no other reason than his disciple who came here to subdue the demon.
That disciple of his was one of his favorite disciples. His Taoist skills were not bad, and he had even mastered the Five Thunder Palm, which allowed him to release lightning with his hands.
Of course, the lightning he released could not be compared to heavenly thunder at all. It could only be released 30 feet away, which was only enough to split a small tree as thick as a bowl.
However, to ordinary demons, this was already considered a catastrophe.
Although the difference in power between the two was like heaven and earth, they were both thunder techniques and there was no difference!
A demon that could defeat a Taoist master who had mastered the Five Thunder Palm was naturally not comparable to an ordinary demon.
Therefore, when he heard that his favorite disciple had disappeared without a trace, the fiery Zhang Shaoyang personally came to the Li Family Fort.
After asking about the details of the incident, Zhang Shaoyang came to the Treasure Cauldron Mountain.
Just as he was about to climb the mountain to search for the demon, he felt Ye Fan's aura.
What shocked him was that Ye Fan's body not only had evil aura and Demon Spirit, but also the domineering Innate Fiendish Qi!
What exactly did this young man go through? How did the Innate Fiendish Qi enter his body!?
Zhang Shaoyang was shocked!
