Chapter 1678: Chapter 1547: The Troublemaking Bai Yan Wolf
On the second day, the news spread, and everyone was stunned. No one expected Ye Fan to be so decisive; Zhou Zhaolong escaped but was still killed by him.
Upon hearing this news, the Saint of Zhou Family was furious because Zhou Zhaolong was an extraordinary genius of the Zhou Family, who had a remarkable encounter since childhood, acquiring part of the heritage of Emperor Sha, comparable to the strongest progeny of the Di Clan.
No, he was even stronger than the strongest progeny of the Di Clan, yet now died an unjust death, his head taken by Ye Fan.
"Pass my order, at all costs, kill this little beast with the surname Ye!"
The Saint of Zhou Family was furious, at this moment, he didn’t care about so-called regulations preventing interference from the older generation in the young generation’s rivalry.
Zhou Zhaolong was the future hope of the Zhou Family, and now that hope was gone, a dignified Gu Families’ hope was eliminated by a Little Cultivator without any background or influence, which made him deeply enraged.
"Don’t provoke me anymore, or I won’t hesitate to wipe out all your successors!"
Amidst the heated discussions, Ye Fan issued a harsh warning.
The main reason he went on a killing spree this time was due to these people setting up a trap to absolutely kill him. Had it not been for his great luck, he would’ve been dead by now.
For someone who’s experienced death, there’s nothing he fears.
For all Holy Lands, this was obviously not good news. Ye Fan was already reckless; as long as anyone dared to deal with him, he’d retaliate with thunderous revenge.
There were indeed some people in All Holy Lands who wanted to hunt him down and kill him, and they began acting secretly, but they gained nothing.
With Bai Yan wolf’s help, Ye Fan traversed the Void, arriving at a city full of ancient charm, Panlong City!
In the Northern Domain, almost all cities have histories spanning thousands of years, and some even existed since ancient times. No one can say clearly when these Ancient Cities were originally built.
Panlong City is just such an Ancient City, with green city walls displaying the scars of Time, a very wide moat, with areas near the water covered in moss.
Strolling through this Ancient City, Ye Fan sensed a faint Dragon Energy, but didn’t delve into it—the skill of city-building and Qi nourishment was a specialty of the Central Domain, but not uncommon in the Northern Domain.
After all, whether it was the Eastern Domain or the Northern Domain, there were close ties. Among the Five Domains, except for the Western Region, the others were closely connected.
Ye Fan’s visit to Panlong City was not for sightseeing or idling but to borrow a path; he understood his current situation well.
No matter which city he was in, wherever there were cultivators, one could hear topics related to himself.
The Northern Domain, to him now, was definitely not a good place, since he wasn’t the only one with Martial Arts Heavenly Eye.
So many people from Holy Lands and Gu Families were dispatched, it’s hard to say they didn’t have some Secret Techniques to see through his transformations.
Soon, Ye Fan reached the Treasure Pavilion’s branch in Panlong City.
Treasure Pavilion is one of the world’s largest forces; every city has its branch, with reach extending across the Five Great Domains.
Bai Yan wolf had shrunk its body into a little white cat tucked into Ye Fan’s sleeve because its image was too distinctive and could be recognized at a glance.
Arriving at the Treasure Pavilion’s branch, Ye Fan met the person in charge and showed the VIP Gold Card given to him by Yaling.
Things went very smoothly, under the VIP Gold Card, Ye Fan soon arrived at the Treasure Pavilion’s backyard, where there was a large Array Platform, capable of traversing the Great Domains.
Actually, Bai Yan wolf could also carve Array Platforms to traverse the Great Domains, but Ye Fan chose to use the Treasure Pavilion’s Array Platform to return to the Southern East Domain.
The reason was simple; he didn’t trust Bai Yan wolf’s skill, though this guy was a Grandmaster Level expert in Array Patterns, it was extremely unreliable, who knows where it would teleport him, whereas the Treasure Pavilion’s Array Platform was safer.
For this, Bai Yan wolf was quite dissatisfied, thinking Ye Fan was belittling its expertise in Array Patterns, and argued with Ye Fan for a long time.
Finally, with Ye Fan’s insistence, he managed to borrow the path in Panlong City, but Bai Yan wolf also gained quite a few benefits from Ye Fan in the process.
Bang!
After placing the Spirit Stone, the Array Patterns flickered, forming a Domain Gate. Ye Fan stepped in, the Domain Gate closed, the light vanished, and Ye Fan entered the space tunnel.
...
Misty rain lingered, distant mountains like indigo, lakes and mountains, serene and harmonious, like an ink wash painting.
This was a true depiction of the Southern East Domain; compared to the harsh lands of the Northern Domain, the Southern East Domain was undoubtedly a terrestrial Immortal Realm.
Huntian City is an ancient city with a long history in the Southern East Domain, which once played a crucial role in resisting Demon Clan invasions. Even now, the city walls bear mottled marks of blades and axes.
Ye Fan, accompanied by Bai Yan wolf, strolled into this Ancient City, not too far now from the Immortal Academy.
Ye Fan also wanted to take a break then return to the Immortal Academy.
Once inside the Ancient City, he was greeted by the sounds of vendors calling out, and various food aromas wafted around. Bai Yan wolf shot out with a "zoom", leaving Ye Fan somewhat exasperated.
Feeling the earthly atmosphere of Hongchen, Ye Fan was filled with endless emotions; once upon a time, he too was a member of this worldly realm.
As he walked for a while, voices of yelling came from behind; several robust men were chasing a white wolf with cleavers.
However, Bai Yan wolf was exceptionally fast, not to mention ordinary people, even Saint Child Level cultivators may not catch up to it.
As he was walking, Ye Fan suddenly heard sobbing sounds ahead, mournful and tearful, so he looked towards that direction.
In front of a bun shop, there was a seven or eight-year-old girl lying on an elder’s body, crying loudly, while the elder was breathless.
"Sigh!"
Ye Fan sighed; this is the life of ordinary people. Birth, aging, illness, and death—no one can escape this cycle!
As he walked past the bun shop, Ye Fan couldn’t help but take a closer look, and with just that one glance, his eyelid twitched suddenly.
This old man was only about seventy years old. Even for an ordinary person, he shouldn’t have died so early, right?
One must know that the Heaven and Earth Primordial Qi in the Southern East Domain is abundant. Even for ordinary people, living beyond a hundred years isn’t uncommon, so how could someone die around seventy?
Taking another glance at this elder, his face was pale, his eyes tightly shut, yet there was a hint of redness on his cheeks. His exposed hands were full of calluses, evidently from years of hard labor which led to his illness.
According to medical theory, a pale face with flushed cheeks indicates essence blood deficiency and rising false fire, but it shouldn’t be life-threatening!
Since arriving in this world, Ye Fan rarely made a move, but he hadn’t forgotten his medical skills. Instead, with the deepening of his cultivation, he had gained a deeper understanding of many Healing Techniques.
"Little sister, who is this elder to you?"
Ye Fan stepped forward and asked gently.
The little girl didn’t expect someone to care about her, and she was momentarily stunned. She lifted her tearful eyes to glance at Ye Fan.
Perhaps Ye Fan’s sincere eyes made her feel safe, and she sniffed as she recounted the events.
It turned out the little girl’s name was Wanwan. She was the granddaughter of the old man. Orphaned since childhood, she was raised by her grandfather.
The grandfather and granddaughter depended on each other for survival, relying on the old man’s skill in making buns to barely scrape by, even renting their house.
Lately, business hadn’t been good. Three or four new bun shops opened nearby, competing maliciously, and the grandfather and granddaughter found it hard to sustain themselves.
A few days ago, their landlord, Sun Shaobao, came to collect the rent with his men, not only raising the rent but also demanding they pay a year’s rent at once, or they would be evicted.
They were barely able to support themselves, where would they get so much money?
But Sun Shaobao didn’t care about that. He and his evil slaves beat the old man and left arrogantly.
Since then, Sun Shaobao came to cause trouble every few days. Later, Wanwan found out Sun Shaobao wanted her grandfather to sell her to him as a maid.
Wanwan’s grandfather had only her as his granddaughter, and naturally refused to agree, determined to protect Wanwan even at the cost of his life.
This morning, Sun Shaobao came again with his men, beat the old man once more, and said it was the last day. If they didn’t pay the rent or agree to their demands, they would take back the house and evict them.
"This Sun Shaobao is simply inhumane!"
"Shh, keep it down. Do you want to lose your life for gossiping about him?"
"That guy is a complete rake, not even sparing a seven or eight-year-old girl, worse than a beast."
"His brother is a disciple of the Immortal Academy. If he finds out you said that, you’ll be in big trouble."
As Wanwan recounted the events, a large crowd had gathered around the bun shop. Even the Bai Yan wolf quietly joined the crowd.
"So why is your grandfather like this?" Ye Fan asked, pointing to the old man lying on the ground.
"It’s all because of a wolf!"
Wanwan wiped her tears and said, "My grandfather was already not well and was injured by Sun Shaobao’s evil slaves. But, to earn money, he ignored his own health and made a batch of buns to sell. Who would have thought that just as he opened the steamer, a white wicked wolf snatched two buns, and my grandfather was so upset that he..."
Upon hearing this, Ye Fan couldn’t hold back his anger and shouted, "Bai Yan wolf, come out here!"
The Bai Yan wolf shivered all over, hanging its head low as it stepped forward to face Ye Fan, dragging its feet.
"It’s him!"
Little Wanwan’s face flushed as she silently accused the Bai Yan wolf.
The Bai Yan wolf’s head was almost drooping to the ground and it didn’t say a word. It never imagined that stealing a bun would cause such a huge problem.
Ye Fan took a deep breath. At this point, blaming the Bai Yan wolf was of no use. He placed his hand on the old man’s wrist, checking briefly, and found no pulse, breath wasn’t even worth mentioning.
However, the old man wasn’t truly dead; he was currently in a state of false death and could still be saved.
With this in mind, Ye Fan disregarded the astounding situation and directly infused a surge of dense Pure Yang Qi into the old man’s body.
Pure Yang Qi is the essence of life. As long as the Pure Yang Qi isn’t extinguished, a person won’t die.
Indeed, in no time at all, the old man’s heartbeat and breathing were restored. He let out a soft hum and slightly opened his eyes!
"An Immortal..."
The surrounding crowd exclaimed in shock!
...
