Chapter 113: Talents are meant to be stepped on (2/2)

“If I wish for you to kneel, you will have no choice but to kneel!” Li Yun kicked towards Ye Fan’s knees, a cultivator at the Spring of Life realm was extremely strong and kicking in this manner towards an ordinary person’s knees would definitely cause the bones to shatter, it was clear that his methods were extremely vicious.

“With riff raff like you, even a hundred will be insufficient.” Ye Fan retreated agilely, exceptionally nimble, he had reached the Spiritual Bridge realm and simply did not place these people within his eyes, he did not wish to lower himself to their level.

“A wastrel like you actually dares to address me as riff raff!” Li Yun’s voice was sinisterly cold, he had always been viewed as a talent but was actually looked down upon by an ordinary mortal, his facial expression was extremely ugly as he lifted his right leg and heavily kicked towards Ye Fan’s mouth.

Reaching his current cultivation, although Ye Fan did not wish to drop to their levels, he did not need to suffer their insolence and immediately grabbed Li Yun’s leg as he lifted him and smashed him towards the ground.

He was extremely decisive, natural and unforced, the group felt their eyes grow blurry as Li Yun was smashed into the ground like a dead dog, groaning in pain as he struggled on the ground.

Li Lin felt that something was amiss and did not walk forward, wanting to summon her artifact to instantly kill Ye Fan.

However, once Ye Fan began to move, he would never give her a chance to act. He became a mirage and instantly appeared before Li Lin, immediately chopping towards the back of her neck causing her to faint, thereafter, he threw her with a ‘Plonk!’ into the deep pond below the waterfall.

“Glurph Glurph…….” Li Lin who was semi-conscious began to bloat as she drank large amounts of the pond water. “You wastrel……” Li Yun painfully groaned as he struggled to sit up, killing intent flashed on his face as a light shone from his sea of bitterness.

“Bang!”

Ye Fan simply did not give him a chance to summon his artifact as he stepped forward to kick, forcing the light to dissipate while using his other leg to step down.

All this seemed extremely ordinary and the two cultivators at the Spring of Life realm seemed as though they had never cultivated any techniques, completely controlled by Ye Fan making the bystanders feel as though this was merely happenstance. “Cripple……” Li Yun struggled, he felt that this was simply absurd, he did not know that Ye Fan was at a higher cultivation level and his simple methods were filled with endless profundities causing him to fill with anger.

“So what if you’re a talent? Even if you are a real talent, you are only useful for being stepped on.” Having said this, Ye Fan was extremely unscrupulous as he used the soles of his shoe to leave an imprint on Li Yun’s face. In order to ensure a clear marking, he repeatedly stepped to ensure that the markings were clear.

“You…… I’ll kill you!” Li Yun’s face was swollen as fire seemed to spit out of his eyes.

“Bang!”

Ye Fan kicked him into the waterfall and did not look back as he left, he simply had no interest in the two people.

The few people before the waterfall were speechless as they watched Ye Fan saunter off, looking back to the two people who were unconscious within the water, their faces were filled with disbelief.

Ye Fan came before the dwelling of elder Wu Qing Feng and remained for a period of time before the old man came back.

“Old man, are the items I left behind still here?”

Elder Wu Qing Feng frowned: “They are still here, however…….”

“What’s the matter?” Ye Fan was rather confused.

“I’ve investigated for you but…….” Elder Wu Qing Feng seemed rather embarrassed and opened his mouth but no words came out.

“Could it be that someone wishes to keep the items and not return it to me?” Ye Fan asked.

This was indeed the truth, as an elder of the Ling Xu Immortal Sanctuary, elder Wu Qing Feng felt ashamed as he held Ye Fan’s hands: “Follow me, I’ll help you get the stuff back.”

“Who could possibly want my items? Haven’t those damaged artifacts already been broken? They simply don’t have any value.”

“It’s elder Han Yi Shui, he’s got a passion for forging artifacts and has been scrutinising the bronze lamp, golden vajra, Great Lei Yin Temple plaque and other artifacts for a long period of time.”

“An elder surnamed Han……” Ye Fan was immediately alarmed as he attempted to find out more. It was exactly as he surmised, this Han Yi Shui was actually the grandfather of Han Fei Yu.

Elder Han who refined medicines was the granduncle of Han Fei Yu, Ye Fan had also heard that the grandfather of Han Fei Yu was also an elder within the Ling Xu Immortal Sanctuary.

Han Yi Shui lived in a peaceful and serene mountain valley, beautiful trees that were verdant and lush with wondrous stones scattered about. A small bridge with running water passing through and a decorated pavilion, all of these put together gave off a picturesque charm.

Within a pavilion, three old man were seated together drinking tea. Looking as Elder Wu Qing Feng brought Ye Fan over, a withered looking old man with a fair complexion immediately frowned. “Elder Han, I’ve brought the child here to receive his items, return those artifacts to him.”

Han Yi SHui measured Ye Fan before looking over at Wu Qing Feng as he indifferently said: “Aren’t the bronze artifacts the possession of Pang Bo who is our disciple, what do they have to do with him?”

“You…….” Elder Wu Qing Feng’s expression immediately changed.

Ye Fan also felt extremely uncomfortable as he spoke up: “Elder Han Yi Shui, how could you speak like this? Of those damaged artifacts, some belong to me while others belong to Pang Bo, now that Pang Bo has gone missing, as his best friend, I’ve come to collect our items, how could there be no relation to me?”

Han Yi Shui’s expression immediately became solemn as he said in a cold voice: “Who do you think you are? This area holds our Ling Xu Immortal Sanctuary Elders, our cultivations are all at the Spiritual Bridge realm, our discussions hold the mysteries of cultivating and is not a place for an ordinary mortal like you to barge into! Leave!”

Elder Wu Qing Feng felt humiliated as he shouted: “Han Yi Shui, what is the meaning of this?!”

Ye Fan also felt incensed, he did not expect Han Yi Shui to act in this manner, haughty and arrogant as he spoke down from his high horse, refusing to return his artifacts to him.

Han Yi Shui’s expression was calm as he faintly smiled towards elder Wu Qing Feng: “My intention is clear, this valley is an important area and isn’t a place for riff raff or ordinary mortals to simply enter.”

“I’ve only come here to retrieve what is rightfully mine.” Ye Fan had a calm expression as he stared at Han Yi Shui: “I hope that Elder Han can return those bronze artifacts to me.”

“What relation do those bronze artifacts have to you?” Han Yi Shui indifferently swept his gaze at him: “I’ve already made it very clear, those items belong to Pang Bo who is a disciple within my sect, since he’s already gone missing, his items naturally belong to my Ling Xu Immortal Sanctuary. What is an outsider like you trying to do? You haven’t joined my sect, there isn’t any room for discussion, you have no right to discuss anything with me, leave!” As he said this, his face became grave: “Barging into a sacred ground within my sect, if you don’t leave, there will be dire consequences!”
