“Crack!”
The glowing green protective barrier of the magical artifact shattered once more under Ye Fan's strike.
The two turned pale and hurriedly cried out, “You can't kill us! We're from the Haoran Sect!”
Ye Fan turned a deaf ear to their words.
Of course I fucking know you're from the Haoran Sect. I still recognize your Haoran Sect robes.
But if I don't kill you, I really won't be able to swallow this anger!
With that, Ye Fan drew his long sword and poured his spiritual energy into it.
“Boom!”
Sword light flashed as Ye Fan slashed down, preparing to finish the two of them off.
“You damned eunuch, stop right there!”
Right then, a furious roar echoed from the distance.
It turned out that several Soul Transformation experts from the Dingyuan Sect and Zixuan Sect had heard the commotion and rushed over.
Ye Fan let out a cold snort and slashed down without the slightest hesitation.
“Splat!”
The sword light lit up the sky, cleaving the two of them in half. Blood splattered everywhere...
Even their primordial spirits could not escape, destroyed along with their bodies.
They died with their eyes wide open, filled with resentment...
Immediately after, Ye Fan's figure flashed and vanished...
Seeing Ye Fan's disappearing back, the Soul Transformation cultivators from the Dingyuan Sect and the Zixuan Sect exchanged glances.
“Should... should we pursue?” a female cultivator from the Zixuan Sect asked.
Her face was pale, and she was still visibly shaken.
After all, they had all witnessed Ye Fan's attack just now...
He was too powerful!
Even though they were all in the Soul Transformation stage, the opponent was clearly much stronger!
“Even if we catch up, we probably won't be able to beat him, right?” a Soul Transformation cultivator from the Dingyuan Sect said, looking at the others.
The group fell silent for a moment before nodding in agreement.
That indeed seemed to be the case!
Although they might stand a chance if they ganged up on him, what if they were unlucky and died?
After all, the mission belonged to the sect, but their lives belonged to themselves.
At the same time, they found it hard to believe. They were all in the Soul Transformation stage, so why was there such a massive difference? Could it be that eunuchs were simply more powerful?
But that didn't make sense either! They had fought people from Wuhua Palace before, and they hadn't been this terrifying.
Everyone had been more or less on equal footing, with no significant differences.
Afterward, they collected the bodies of the two Haoran Sect Soul Transformation cultivators to send them back to the Haoran Sect.
“Pfft...”
Ye Fan spat out another mouthful of blood.
His sudden exertion just now had aggravated his unhealed injuries.
Seeing that no one was pursuing him, Ye Fan found another spot to heal his wounds.
He took out several array disks and set them up around him. It wasn't that he didn't want to set up a formation himself, but rather, he had recently discovered that the ability he had lost in this rebirth was formation arts...
Ye Fan felt completely helpless about losing an ability with every rebirth.
He truly could not understand why this was happening.
The formation arts he lost this time felt as if they had been violently stripped from his soul.
All his understanding and insights into formations were entirely gone.
He really couldn't fathom why he would lose them, and so thoroughly at that, leaving not even a trace behind.
After entering the cave dwelling, Ye Fan first changed his clothes and washed off the disguise on his face.
Only then did he begin to heal...
He didn't want to step out of his cave only to be ambushed again once his injuries healed.
Meanwhile, at the Qingshan Sect.
Lu Ming was currently studying a book on formations.
He planned to set up a protective formation for the Qingshan Sect!
He realized that the parts he couldn't understand before now made perfect sense.
Even the array patterns that used to baffle him were now clear as day.
In short, his proficiency in formation arts had grown so powerful that even he found it hard to believe.
Sigh... How lonely it is to be invincible!
Sigh... The life of a protagonist truly is a lonely one!
Just as Lu Ming was lost in his feelings, the Second Elder came looking for him.
“Lu Ming, I need to gather some spiritual herbs. I'm leaving the sect for a bit!”
Lu Ming looked at her in confusion. “Second Elder, you don't need to report to me to leave the sect, do you?”
The Second Elder grinned. “Hehe... Aren't you the one managing the sect right now? So, I have to let you know.”
With that, she turned to leave before Lu Ming could say another word.
Watching Huo Furong's departing figure, Lu Ming was completely speechless.
So you weren't reporting to me, you were just notifying me!
“Wait...”
Lu Ming suddenly called out to Huo Furong.
Huo Furong stopped in her tracks, turning back to look at Lu Ming with a puzzled expression. “What is it? Did you not understand my notification?”
Lu Ming's mouth twitched. If he couldn't understand those few words, he might as well stop being a protagonist and just die of stupidity.
“I understood. I'm stopping you for something else.”
“Thud!”
With a wave of his hand, Lu Ming took out the Nine Turn Alchemy Furnace.
“Second Elder, this alchemy furnace triples your success rate! You should use it!” Lu Ming said directly.
Seeing Huo Furong blow up her cauldron every single day and fail her alchemy attempts, he couldn't help but feel anxious on her behalf.
Was alchemy really that hard?
Huo Furong was taken aback. She looked at the alchemy furnace, then at Lu Ming. “Won't you be heartbroken if I blow it up?”
Lu Ming was speechless. Can we please just not talk about blowing it up?
Still, he shook his head. “I won't mind!”
Huo Furong chuckled. “I can't use this furnace of yours!”
With that, she turned around and walked away.
Not long after Huo Furong left, the Grand Elder arrived.
“Ah, Lu Ming! The Third Elder has broken through to the Nascent Soul stage. He wants to go out and gain some experience, so he asked me to let you know!”
Lu Ming nodded. “Is this another notification?”
The Grand Elder nodded. “Yes!”
Lu Ming was even more speechless.
Just then, the Grand Elder continued, “I also need to visit an old friend! I'll be leaving the sect as well.”
“You actually have old friends?” Lu Ming couldn't help but exclaim.
The Grand Elder looked at Lu Ming, exasperated. “Who doesn't have a couple of friends they haven't spoken to in ages?”
Lu Ming: “???”
“If you guys haven't spoken in ages, how can you still call them friends?”
“Ah! If not friends, then what?” the Grand Elder countered.
“If you all leave, is it really appropriate to leave only the few of us here to watch the sect?”
“What's inappropriate about it? You need to understand, I'm notifying you, not asking you for leave!”
With that, the Grand Elder turned and walked away.
When he reached the mountain gate, making sure no one was looking, he swept up the large blue stone engraved with the words "Qingshan Sect" and took it with him.
