Best Young Master-Chapter 1385 - 1262: The Perfect Scheme

Divine Race Forbidden Land.

Ye Fan and the Bai Yan wolf were walking together when he suddenly sensed something was off. Instinctively, he glanced around but found nothing. He couldn’t help but mutter, "I always feel like someone is plotting against us."

"Heh heh, you beat up the descendant of the War God and possess several absolute techniques, and you don’t expect people to eye you? I think these little brats definitely harbor no good intentions, we have to be careful!" the Bai Yan wolf chuckled.

"If they push their luck, then they can’t blame me for being ruthless!"

Ye Fan was getting fierce. Initially, he did not intend to stir up trouble here, as he felt indebted to the Divine Lady Tongtong for saving his life.

But if those Divine Race geniuses wanted his life, that would be a different story—he has never been one to sit and wait for death!

"Do you think you’re a Great Emperor? Such audacity!"

The Bai Yan wolf sneered, striking at Ye Fan, "Although this place severely suppresses cultivators’ combat power, strong people can still retain some divine power. Among them, there are a few you’re no match for."

"Oh?"

Ye Fan couldn’t help but stroke his chin in thought. If that’s truly the case, then Ling Duyun and other strong Divine Race people might really be able to retain some divine power.

Here, his strength was also heavily suppressed, almost having to rely solely on physical strength to fight. If others had divine power and he could only rely on his physical strength, then he was undoubtedly at a great disadvantage.

"How do you know these things? Have you been here before?"

Ye Fan asked the Bai Yan wolf. He felt that this dead wolf had many secrets, having certainly experienced a lot while following the Thunder Venerable, but it just wouldn’t reveal anything, keeping its mouth shut tight.

"Can’t I know even if I haven’t been here? Back then, the Venerable mentioned some things about the Divine Race, I overheard it, okay?"

Upon saying this, the Bai Yan wolf suddenly stopped and said to Ye Fan through divine consciousness Transmission, "Kid, someone is following us, not sure if they’re targeting you. If they are, don’t drag me into it."

That dead wolf!

Ye Fan was completely speechless. This guy had clearly been indulgent lately; its once dry and yellow fur had regained its sleek and glossy appearance, like satin, and its size seemed to have increased. However, its bad habit of being lazy and gluttonous hadn’t changed one bit.

In fact, even without the Bai Yan wolf’s reminder, Ye Fan also noticed that several young geniuses from the Divine Race were trailing them, always maintaining a one-mile distance, neither approaching nor distancing, not knowing what they were up to.

Facing this scenario, Ye Fan slightly furrowed his brow, letting the Bai Yan wolf seek clues for treasure medicine, as this guy’s nose was even more effective than a dog’s.

"Old Bai, ordinary spiritual medicine or those not aged enough are not needed. If we’re searching, let’s find well-aged treasure medicines or even Divine Medicine," Ye Fan instructed the Bai Yan wolf.

"Kid, I solemnly warn you again, call me King Bai, not Old Bai or Little Bai," the Bai Yan wolf grinned dissatisfactorily.

"Got it, Old Bai, hurry up and find it!" Ye Fan had no intention of changing his words.

Old Bai was a nickname Ye Fan gave him. Initially, he called it Little Bai, the Bai Yan wolf almost rebelled. After all, it was an ancient monster that had lived for endless ages, right? Although it hadn’t undergone Transformation, its body’s firmness was no less than that of the Demon Clan. Moreover, it once followed the Thunder Venerable, second only to a Great Emperor, and Little Bai was a name exclusively used by the Thunder Venerable...

How could the Bai Yan wolf allow Ye Fan to call it that?

Later, seeing its extreme reaction, Ye Fan had to change Little Bai to Old Bai, regardless of its protests.

The Bai Yan wolf was quite dissatisfied with this nickname as well. Every time Ye Fan called it that, it would correct him, but to no avail, and eventually, it accepted the name.

Under the super-sensitive nose of the Bai Yan wolf, Ye Fan quickly found a treasure medicine, five hundred years old. Before getting close, he smelled a faint elegant fragrance.

However, within the fragrance, there seemed to be a faint bloody smell, making Ye Fan alert. He asked the Bai Yan wolf, "Old Bai, is there something like a strong Xuan Beast guarding nearby?"

"You’re not too dumb, are you!"

The Bai Yan wolf teased Ye Fan, saying, "Around any Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures, there must be strong creatures guarding them. Because these treasures are also very useful to them, this five-hundred-year-old Heavenly Sword Orchid is naturally no exception!"

Heavenly Sword Orchid!

Ye Fan had heard about this extremely rare treasure medicine when consulting with Elder Xuan about some of the rare Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures in this world. It doesn’t bloom or bear fruit, grows from roots, and in its lifetime only grows nine leaves, each leaf growing one every hundred years, each leaf growing upward like a Heavenly Sword, extremely sharp.

If a common person held a Heavenly Sword Orchid leaf, it could almost be used as a treasure sword, sharp and hard, even if it doesn’t have the effect of reviving the dead, it’s still a very rare treasure medicine.

Boom!

While Ye Fan and the Bai Yan wolf were talking, the ground suddenly shook, followed by a buffalo-sized monster rolling toward them at high speed, its entire body covered in sharp long spikes, like a giant porcupine.

"What is this thing?" the Bai Yan wolf was startled and quickly dodged away.

At the same time, Ye Fan looked at the rushing monster, knowing in his heart that he must deal with this guy to obtain the Heavenly Sword Orchid. However, facing a creature full of spikes, he found it difficult to tackle at the moment.

With no other choice, he had to temporarily avoid its edge, dodging first to find out where its weakness was.

Rumble...

Ye Fan leapt from the ground, jumping onto a millennia-old giant tree, dodging the crushing blow.

Suddenly, the monster stretched its body, revealing four short legs, quickly running toward the Heavenly Sword Orchid, seemingly discovering something.

Crunch!

From his vantage point on the tree, Ye Fan saw clearly that while that porcupine-like creature attacked him, the Bai Yan wolf sneaked to the Heavenly Sword Orchid. With a bite, it took a big chunk out of the Heavenly Sword Orchid, as hard as Divine Iron, nearly biting it through.

"Uh..."

Ye Fan’s eyelids twitched sharply. The Bai Yan wolf had clearly enhanced its strength by consuming various heavenly materials and earthly treasures. Its teeth became much sharper, and if it bit him...

Ye Fan felt that even his treasure body might not be able to withstand it. It seemed necessary to further enhance the Nine Heavens Profound Body, otherwise sooner or later he would be bitten by this damned wolf!

"Great Emperor..."

Seeing the monster charging towards him, the Bai Yan wolf let out a scream and quickly fled. Its speed was much faster than the small short legs of the porcupine-like monster, which couldn’t catch up with it, allowing the monster to bite only air.

Seeing this, Ye Fan thought that the monster’s strength wasn’t too formidable, yet its defense was insanely tough. It was covered in spikes, and these spikes were incredibly hard. It was a typical case of a tiger biting a porcupine — nowhere to sink its teeth.

In the distance, those young geniuses from the Divine Race naturally also saw this scene. They were very eager for the Heavenly Sword Orchid Treasure Medicine, yet stood aside watching the spectacle without any intention of helping.

Ye Fan pondered for a moment and took out the Thunder Emperor Spear, directly pointing the spearhead at that porcupine-like monster!

For the Heavenly Sword Orchid, he decided to take a gamble!

The porcupine-like monster extended a little head, cautiously watching Ye Fan, without taking the initiative to attack, but rather guarding beside the Heavenly Sword Orchid. As soon as anyone dared to make a move on it, it would crush them by piercing them through!

"Kill!"

Although this Xuan beast was of the milder type, for the Heavenly Sword Orchid, Ye Fan decided to take a gamble, as he shook the Thunder Emperor Spear in his hand, thrusting towards the monster’s head!

’Clang!’

A sound of metal clashing rang out, and the monster retracted its head, leaving only its sharp spikes to collide with Ye Fan’s Thunder Emperor Spear, remaining entirely unharmed.

"Get out of my way!"

Ye Fan shouted fiercely, swinging the Thunder Emperor Spear like a staff, sweeping across horizontally, and with a ’bam!’ sent the monster flying several meters away!

’Whoosh!’

Immediately afterward, Ye Fan utilized the Phantom Step to arrive beside the Heavenly Sword Orchid, just about to make a move when he suddenly sensed great danger approaching, avoiding it swiftly without thinking!

The next moment, Ye Fan saw a young genius from the Divine Race who had been following him, rush in like a gust of wind, snatch the Heavenly Sword Orchid and return it to his arms.

"You..."

Ye Fan was furious. After all his efforts to knock the monster away, someone else snatched the prize halfway!

"What do you mean ’you’? Not convinced, then come and fight for it? The treasure medicine is right here in my arms."

The young genius from the Divine Race was still slightly holding onto some divine power, extremely arrogant and dismissive, showing no regard for Ye Fan.

"Things bitten by a dog, I don’t want them!"

Ye Fan coldly glanced at him, deciding to swallow this anger. Although the Heavenly Sword Orchid was valuable, it wasn’t something he was desperate for, no need to reveal his true power now!

"Kid, who are you calling a dog? Speak clearly, don’t walk away..."

The Bai Yan wolf bared its teeth as it chased after Ye Fan, not even glancing at the Heavenly Sword Orchid it had bitten once.

"Damn it, wait for me!"

The face of the young man from the Divine Race alternated between pale and blue, hesitating whether to keep or discard the Heavenly Sword Orchid bitten by the Bai Yan wolf!

However, at this moment, he didn’t have time to decide whether to discard it or not — though Ye Fan had knocked the porcupine-like monster away, it had an extremely strong resistance to blows and wasn’t too heavily injured. Now it was curling up its body, rolling towards them.

’Whoosh whoosh whoosh whoosh...’

Facing this spiked creature, the genius from the Divine Race could only evade temporarily, and together with the others, fled along the path in pursuit of Ye Fan.

Ling Duyun instructed them to keep a close watch on Ye Fan, never to allow him to obtain a single Spiritual Medicine in the Forbidden Land, let alone a Treasure Medicine — as long as Ye Fan discovered anything, they must seize it!

Ye Fan understood this point well, which was why he chose to tolerate the situation.

For one, he didn’t want to make things difficult for Tongtong; and also, he didn’t want to provide Ling Duyun with an excuse to use against him.

If he impulsively killed any of them, Ling Duyun would have a reason to strike back at him.

This was Ling Duyun’s clever plan, treating those young members of the Divine Race as bait!
