It took Ye Fan three hours to reach the border of Tibet.
Along the way, he deliberately flew in the air above the mountains where there were few people in order to deceive people. He also took a lot of detours because of this. He did not push his spiritual energy to the extreme. After all, he was here to save people this time. He had to save his spiritual energy to prepare for a fight with a strong enemy.
After entering Tibet, Ye Fan landed in a remote place on the Great Snow Mountain and then walked down the mountain. At this time, it was already late. He found a very old inn run by the Han people and stayed there. The reason why he did this was that this was the other party's territory. He could not be too flamboyant to avoid alerting people. Secondly, he had traveled a long way and did not drink a drop of water along the way. He should eat something and rest. The other party asked him to come here in two days. He only took one day in order to buy time to investigate on the spot. There was a saying in the art of war: know yourself and know your enemy, and you will be victorious in a hundred battles.
After Ye Fan checked into the inn, he ordered a table of dishes. After all, he had not eaten for a day. After wolfing down the food, he began to sit cross-legged and meditate to replenish his spiritual energy. Although he did not rush along the way, and because he opened his pores to absorb the spiritual energy from the outside world, his spiritual energy was not consumed too much. However, the battle at the Ye family's ancestral home made him deeply realize how important it was for him to have sufficient spiritual energy. At the moment of life and death, perhaps a trace of spiritual energy could change the situation and turn the tide.
Just after midnight, Ye Fan, who was sitting cross-legged on the couch, opened his eyes. At this time, the spiritual energy in his Sea of Qi was completely full. After a month of rest, there were more than ten drops of compressed and purified pure spiritual energy in his Sea of Qi. It was more than twice as good as when he was in the Ye family's ancestral home.
Ye Fan closed the door and walked lightly to the backyard of the inn. After seeing that there was no one around, he jumped up from the ground and jumped into the air. He began to slowly fly in the air above the Great Snow Mountain with his spiritual energy.
It was the middle of the night, and Tibet was sparsely populated. Other than the temples that were brightly lit, the other inhabited places were already dark. Ye Fan had thought about it. The place where Xiao Zhao was locked up must be guarded. Since there were guards, there must be lights. As long as he could find a suspicious light source, it would not be difficult to follow the clues and find where Xiao Zhao was locked up. He channeled his spirit energy into his eyes and carefully examined the bright spots on the ground.
However, he did not find anything suspicious even after checking the sky above the town three times. Since there was nothing here, he could only go to the Great Snow Mountain. There were many caves on the Great Snow Mountain. It was not impossible to lock Xiao Zhao in one of the caves. Thinking of this, Ye Fan abruptly rose into the air and flew straight to the top of the Great Snow Mountain.
After reaching the top of the Great Snow Mountain, Ye Fan first channeled his spirit energy into his eyes and looked into the distance. He looked around the entire Great Snow Mountain, but he still found nothing. After all, the Great Snow Mountain was like its name. It was covered in snow all year round. Even if there was a cave, it could be blocked by snow or rocks.
Since he could not see with his eyes, he would use his ears to listen. Ye Fan thought.
Ever since he possessed spiritual power, his five senses had become ten times sharper than a normal person's. As long as he wanted to, he would be able to clearly hear the rustling of the branches of a bird that landed on a tree dozens of feet away, let alone normal sounds. However, the sounds in the outside world were too complicated. His ears could not be selectively closed like his eyes, so Ye Fan did not use them very much. It was enough to maintain his senses at four or five times sharper than a normal person's. Now that he was anxious to find someone, Ye Fan channeled his spirit energy into his ears and closed his eyes. He carefully listened to all the sounds around the Great Snow Mountain.
For a time, all kinds of sounds entered his ears. There were the rustling of small animals crawling, the rustling of snow sliding down, and the buzzing of the large and small caves being blown by the wind. All kinds of sounds were incessant in his ears. Ye Fan frowned. Standing at the highest point of the mountain, he carefully identified these sounds.
After the time it took for a stick of incense to burn, Ye Fan did not hear any sounds from Xiao Zhao. Instead, he was distracted by the numerous and chaotic sounds. However, just as he was about to withdraw his spirit energy from his ears, a small and rhythmic sound entered his ears.
"Hoo … hoo …" The sound came one after another. It was the sound of snoring.
Ye Fan adjusted the direction of his ears and aimed them at the source of the sound. He carefully identified it. After all, some animals also snored when they slept. After listening for a while, Ye Fan smiled and his eyes lit up. This was definitely not an animal snoring. The reason was very simple. In addition to the sound of snoring, there was also a burst of coughing. He was very familiar with this coughing sound. It was Xiao Zhao's voice.
Ye Fan opened his eyes. His body was a foot away from the ground. He bent down and quickly rushed towards the source of the sound. The source of the sound was about a hundred feet away from him. There was a huge rock standing diagonally there.
Ye Fan was extremely fast. He arrived in the blink of an eye. He stood on top of the rock and squatted down. He looked down, but he did not find any cave entrance.
Ye Fan saw this and frowned. It seemed that it would not be easy to enter the cave. If this place did not have a barrier, then there would be a mechanism. He floated down from the rock and used his finger to gently tap on the huge rock. From the sound, it seemed that this huge rock was solid. It was not a barrier. He bent down and tapped on the rock beneath his feet. Tapping sounds came. It was actually hollow below!
It seemed that it was not that there was no cave entrance. It was just that the cave entrance was blocked by this rock. There must be some kind of mechanism. As Ye Fan thought about it, he carefully examined the huge rock. However, after looking for a long time, he still could not find a way to open the mechanism.
Ye Fan was a little angry. He directly pulled out the Snake Shadow Sword from his waist. This Snake Shadow Sword was extremely sharp. It was as easy as flipping his hand to cut through the rock.
He gently placed the Snake Shadow Sword on the side of the rock. With a bit of strength, the incomparably sharp Snake Shadow Sword cut through the incomparably hard rock like tofu. Ye Fan held the Snake Shadow Sword and circled around the rock. The rock slid down the smooth surface that Ye Fan had cut with the Snake Shadow Sword. It silently fell into the thick snow.
At this time, there was only a palm thick rock left on the ground. Ye Fan once again raised the Snake Shadow Sword vertically and gently inserted it into the ground. He drew a circle and with a soft pop, the last part of the stone wall was cut open by Ye Fan. He gently took out the stone and immediately, a hole about three meters deep was revealed. Light from the fire shone out from the hole.
Following the stairs of the cave, Ye Fan carefully entered the cave.
Compared to the outside, this cave was not only warm, it was also brightly lit. The dense pine oil torches on the walls lit up the cave like it was daytime.
Ye Fan held his sword with one hand and quietly walked into the cave through the secret passage.
The closer he got to the cave, the louder the snoring sounds became. At this time of night, the people guarding Xiao Zhao must be sleeping like dead pigs. He could use this opportunity to save Xiao Zhao.
Ye Fan walked about a dozen feet and finally arrived in front of a stone door. The snoring and coughing sounds were coming from here. It seemed like Xiao Zhao was locked up here.
He gently pushed the stone door. The stone door slid and made a soft grinding sound. The snoring sounds were still coming from inside and the smell of alcohol filled the air.
When the stone door was opened about a foot wide, Ye Fan quietly slipped in and locked the stone door from the inside. If a fight broke out, he could not let a fish escape the net.
At the door, a yellow robed Daoist Priest was sitting on the ground leaning against the stone wall. He was snoring with his head tilted and his body reeked of alcohol. On the ground beside him, there were several jugs of alcohol. And in the innermost part of the stone room, there was a woman tied to a stone pillar. It was none other than Xiao Zhao.
The moment he saw Xiao Zhao, Ye Fan was so angry that his face turned green. His whole body trembled and his teeth itched. At this time, Xiao Zhao was naked and her clothes were not even covering her body. Her hair was disheveled and her eyes were closed. She could not stop coughing.
"Bastard!" In his anger, Ye Fan gently waved the Snake Shadow Sword at the sleeping yellow robed Daoist Priest. With a gurgle, the yellow robed Daoist Priest did not even make a sound. His head was cut off and his corpse fell to the ground. With a puff, the blood in the corpse's body sprayed all over the stone wall.
"Xiao Zhao!" Ye Fan shouted her name.
"Cough … Cough … Cough …" Xiao Zhao was coughing violently as she raised her head. She slowly opened her eyes. When she saw that the person who came was Ye Fan, she immediately shouted, "Brother Ye …"
"Shh …" Ye Fan immediately covered Xiao Zhao's mouth and whispered, "Don't make a sound first. I will save you."
Xiao Zhao nodded. Her tears flowed and she could not make a sound.
"Ding ding." With two crisp sounds, the iron chains binding Xiao Zhao's body were cut off by Ye Fan's sword and fell to the ground.
Once the chains were removed, Xiao Zhao's body went soft and she almost fell to the ground. Ye Fan quickly helped Xiao Zhao up. He took off his green robe and put it on Xiao Zhao.
"Brother Ye …" Xiao Zhao sobbed.
"It's okay now." Ye Fan patted Xiao Zhao. "Don't cry. Put on your clothes. I will take you out."
Xiao Zhao stopped crying and nodded. She turned around and found the clothes scattered on the ground. She put them on and handed the green robe to Ye Fan.
Ye Fan took the green robe and put it on. He held Xiao Zhao's hand and quickly walked towards the stone door.
When the two of them reached the stone door, they heard the sound of chaotic footsteps coming from outside.
"What a pity. Such a beauty can only be seen but not touched. What a waste." One of the people said.
"Do you not want to live anymore? This is a vixen. That bit of Yuan Yang of yours is not even enough for her to suck once." Another person said.
"As the saying goes, if you die under a peony, you will still be a romantic ghost. I don't know if Third Junior Brother's heart has been moved inside."
"Master naturally has his reasons for letting him watch the vixen. Although he is a glutton for wine, he listens to Master the most. If Master does not let him touch her, Third Junior Brother will definitely not dare to touch her. At most, he will just feast his eyes. If Junior Brother were to watch over her, hehe … I think you would have been sucked into an old man by now. "
"An old man is an old man. If one is not romantic, it is a waste of youth. Hehehe …"
"Junior Brother, you are still the most open-minded. Hehehe …"
The two of them walked up to the stone door with lewd smiles and pushed it open.
The stone door did not budge.
"Why is the door locked?" The Senior Brother asked.
"Is it?" The Junior Brother also pushed the door. "Hehe, could it be that Third Junior Brother is enjoying himself inside?"
"Impossible. Maybe he drank too much and fell asleep."
"Third Junior Brother! Third Junior Brother! "The two of them knocked on the door and shouted loudly.
"Rumble …" The stone door made a sound and opened a gap about a foot wide.
"I say, Third Junior Brother." That Junior Brother saw the door open and stepped into the stone room. "Why is it only now …" Before he could finish his sentence, the Snake Shadow Sword pierced through his throat. After piercing through, the sword didn't stop and continued to stab outwards. With another 'puchi' sound, the throat of the Senior Brother standing behind him was also pierced.
Ye Fan only needed one sword to pierce through the throats of two people!
Ye Fan pulled out the Snake Shadow Sword and the two corpses fell into a pool of blood. He purposely opened the stone door a foot wide and let the two of them line up. Then, he directly pierced through the two of them to save himself the trouble.
In the blink of an eye, the three of them became ghosts under Ye Fan's sword.
"Let's go." Ye Fan led Xiao Zhao and walked towards the exit.
After the two of them left the cave, Ye Fan put the Snake Shadow Sword back on his waist and held Xiao Zhao's hand. Just as he was about to fly up, he heard a slow voice from behind.
"What, you want to leave after killing three of my disciples?"
