Chapter 169 Secret Stowaway (2/2)

The yellow-faced man was full of smiles and very courteous. “The people who are traversing the void this time are all here. There’s definitely no Greater Demons. If you don’t believe it, please check yourself.”

In these few months, the Ji Family had swept through the southern region, their anger soaring killing dozens of Greater Demons to vent their anger as they were unable to kill the Peacock King or Daoist Crow.

“Brother Huang wouldn’t make any mistakes. We’re just going to take a random stroll around.” Even the Ji Family wouldn’t wish to offend a powerful existence like the Unfettered Sect.

These young men of the Ji Family went through the hundreds of people. Since they didn’t find any Demonic Qi, they waved them through.

Ye Fan had already been wound up for a battle, but seeing this, he relaxed slightly.

Soon after, everyone scattered. Ye Fan didn’t leave quickly in order to avoid crossing paths with any of the Ji Family’s men.

“Please wait, little friend.” After just leaving a couple kilometers, a voice came from behind. He saw the yellow-faced man artificially smiling and following behind him.

“Does senior want something?” Ye Fan calmly asked.

“Does little friend really have no more of that those white iron pieces?” The yellow-faced man was staring closely at him.

“I only found a single piece within an ancient cave.”

“I guess that makes sense. With your cultivation base, there’s no way for you to obtain such a rare material.” The yellow-faced man nodded and said, “Bring me to check out that ancient cave.”

Ye Fan immediately frowned. “That ancient cave is too far. We wouldn’t be able to reach it even with several days’ flying. This junior is unable to do as requested.”

The yellow-faced man’s expression immediately darkened. “I just want you to show me the way. Do you not want to go to the northern region?”

This was a truly nasty person who didn’t bother covering his threats at all.

“We’re crossing the void in just three days. If I brought senior, I would miss this chance.” Ye Fan calmly replied.

“If you bring me there, you’ll at least have a chance in the future.”

Contempt arose in Ye Fan’s heart. It was obvious this was his last chance. This bastard really was shameless.

Seeing Ye Fan not say anything, the yellow-faced man became even more sinister, saying, “That piece of divine iron is very important to me. You had better bring me where you got it right now.”

“I can’t help you.” Ye Fan refused him.

“Looks like you won’t help until I force you! Don’t force my hand!”

Ye Fan was continuously masking his divine sense fluctuations, keeping his appearance at merely the Spring of Life realm. He sensed that his opponent was at the peak of the Paramita realm, so he nodded and said, “Fine, I’ll bring you.” He then flew forward.

The yellow-faced man hid her sinister killing intent and nodded in satisfaction. With a fake smile, he said, “Good. I won’t treat you unfairly”

Seeing that there was no one around, Ye Fan flew a dozen kilometers before coming to halt in the sky.

“Why have you stopped?” The yellow-faced man once more revealed his killing intent.

“I’m sending you on your way!”

His superficial Great Void Handprint appeared, the huge black hand covering the entire sky as it descended.

The yellow-faced man was sent smashing out of the sky without even the chance to shout. Ye Fan didn’t want to be entangled with such a nasty person, so he wanted to finish him in just one blow.

In the distant horizon, several people’s expressions simultaneously changed. These were the disciples of the Ji Family.

“Fluctuations of the Great Void Handprint!”

“No, it’s not the true Great Void Handprint! The power is chaotic!”

------

Three days later, Ye Fan once more returned to the Unfettered Sect, joining the group of several hundred people.

Two dragon veins flowed together here. Marvelous mountain peaks rose majestically, at the same time not lacking any spirituality.

These several hundred people were led into a valley. The terrain here was very wide, with a large platform built inside it where the Domain Gate would be opened.

“Everyone, safe travels!” said an Elder of the Unfettered Sect.

The group got on top of the platform as the Domain Gate was about to be opened.

Ye Fan let out a sigh. He was finally leaving the southern region and escaping his troubles.

“Wait!” Just at this moment, a shout came from outside the Unfettered Sect as dozens of people quickly flew over.

The Domain Gate wasn’t opened, and those people quickly arrived.

These people were mostly seniors who possessed hearty vitality as vast as an ocean. These were definitely not ordinary experts.

Several of the Unfettered Sect’s Elders all flew over there.

“Please forgive me everyone.” These people were very polite and not arrogant. They all cupped their fists in respect, especially apologizing over and over to the Unfettered Sect’s Elders.

Ye Fan’s face immediately turned green. The Ji Family’s people had come. There were now over twenty seniors here, and he even saw a familiar person – Ji Hui.

Of course, the most alarming thing to Ye Fan was the central senior. He was as empty as an abyss, as deep as an ocean, completely immeasurable.

“Is this a powerful figure?” Ye Fan felt that something major was about to go wrong.

“Are you senior Ji Changkong?” One of the Unfettered Sect’s elders walked up and revealed a puzzled expression as he stared at that central old man.

“Yes.”

The Unfettered Sect’s people all revealed shocked expressions. One of them said, “I’ve heard of senior Ji Changkong. He disappeared into seclusion for dozens of years. I didn’t expect he’d reappear again and grace us with his presence. I’ll report this to the Sect Leader.”

“No need. We’ll be immediately leaving.” One of the old men once more apologized and then explained what was going on.

The Ji Family had found the tracks of Daoist Crow, and not only had the Ji Family Sacred Master personally come out, they even sent out six Grand Elders to exterminate the old Daoist.

Ji Changkong was one of those Grand Elders. They had been passing through this place when they heard a report that a cultivator had used an imitation of the Great Void Handprint.

This raised the Ji Family’s bad premonitions. They had always been suspicious about whether Ye Fan had transmitted the Great Void Art to the Peacock King’s demon clan’s cultivators.

So once they received the news, they temporarily paused their mission and came over for a look. When they noticed the Unfettered Sect was opening their Domain Gate, they immediately thought of many possibilities and quickly hurried over.

“We just want to take a look. We’ll leave immediately after.” The Ji Family Grand Elder’s gaze was like lightning as he personally looked through everyone.

Ye Fan sighed bitterly. How could he escape from within the Unfettered Sect? All directions had been blocked. And with the Ji Family’s people at the mountain gate in front, his heart had turned completely cold.

The old Ji Hui was also sweeping her gaze over many cultivators. When she saw Ye Fan, she immediately cried out in shock, “You… how is this possible?!”

“You damn old crone, your gaze is quite vicious.” Ye Fan helplessly walked out. There was no way for him to escape anymore. He was trapped within the Unfettered Sect.
