Invincible Young Master in the City-Chapter 1492 - 1488: We Can’t Even Be Friends

Ye Fan searched for Shen Yan in vain and returned to meet Li Zhaojun. After cultivating with Li Zhaojun and Min Shang for a while, he finally sensed Shen Yan when she triggered the magic treasure he gave her. He and Sang Yuan managed to find Shen Yan.

The people present, including Old Xu Monster and others, looked at Ye Fan with surprise. None of them recognized Ye Fan; they only knew he was a young fellow with a frightening look in his eyes, and he exuded a sharp aura.

"Who are you?" Old Xu Monster and others pointed their spears at Ye Fan, because they couldn’t probe Ye Fan’s cultivation level with their Spiritual Sense, indicating his level was very high.

"Do you realize you’re oppressing fellow cultivators?" Ye Fan said.

Old Xu Monster cautiously replied, "Your Excellency speaks lightly of it; what fellow cultivators? This woman killed our people first; we’re just following the rules!"

"Following the rules, you say? What about abusing civilian women? Is that not a crime worthy of everyone’s condemnation?" Ye Fan asked sternly.

That left Old Xu Monster without words.

Indeed, Old Candle Ghost was killed by Shen Yan not due to a verbal argument but because he abused human maidens, which Shen Yan couldn’t tolerate, prompting her to strike.

Someone nearby said, "Why waste words with this kid? Even if his cultivation is high, we can join forces to tear him apart! This can’t be let out; if Leaf Alliance Hierarch knows, we’ll be in trouble!"

Having said that, several cultivators drew their swords and attacked Ye Fan.

But at that moment, Ye Fan acted as if he didn’t see them, casually walking toward Shen Yan. The cultivators initially thought Ye Fan was being arrogant, assuming they’d succeed as their weapons approached his body, yet encountered no obstruction.

However, when their magic swords contacted Ye Fan’s body, they realized that neither his energy gate nor his mortal body could be breached; their blades felt like they were piercing into sponge.

"What’s going on?" When the cultivators tried attacking from other directions, they found their swords were no longer under their control, slipping from their grasp.

Ye Fan completely ignored these people and walked up to Shen Yan, saying, "Yanyan, are you alright?"

When Shen Yan first saw Ye Fan, her face was somewhat happy. But upon seeing another woman standing not far away, her mood sank, forcing a smile, "I’m alright. You... take care of yourself!"

She didn’t want to interfere in Ye Fan’s fight with these enemies, even though she felt Ye Fan’s level was above theirs, capable of easily winning. But she still didn’t want Ye Fan to get hurt.

"No problem, they can’t hurt me." Ye Fan smiled, sensing Shen Yan’s unhappiness.

The cultivators, now out of control, backed away ten meters, shifting their focus from killing Ye Fan to escape.

Yet, at the cave entrance stood an impassive Sang Yuan, seemingly impervious even when they tried probing his cultivation.

Ye Fan said, "Your previous words suggested the ones who attacked first should die. Can I kill you now?"

"Young hero, your cultivation surpasses ours, we admire you, but we... don’t want this to escalate..." Old Xu Monster tried reasoning with Ye Fan to save himself.

"How ridiculous!" Sang Yuan said with a stern face. "Not wanting to escalate, yet planning murder for silence, talking as if you are the victims. Master, eliminate them; don’t mind their tasks!"

Many cultivators in the Pan Gu Secret Realm assist Ye Fan, a change brought about after he unified the sects.

But Ye Fan would not tolerate any of his subordinates being rotten apples.

Ye Fan asked, "Which sect are you from?"

The cultivators exchanged looks, and finally, Old Xu Monster asked, "Is that important to you? Your level suggests you belong to one of the Seven Great Sects. We currently serve the Leaf Alliance Hierarch; if you don’t trouble us, we’ll offer gifts upon return. How may you be addressed?"

"Ye Fan!" Ye Fan said calmly.

"You..." Old Xu Monster was shocked, smiled bitterly, "Young hero, please don’t joke; how could you be the Leaf Alliance Hierarch, perhaps just sharing his name?"

Ye Fan said, "Sent out to work, yet daring to cause trouble en route, the chief culprit is already executed. I don’t want to kill you now, but I can’t let you, treacherous people, go easily. Sang Yuan, cripple their cultivation!"

After speaking, Ye Fan turned back to Shen Yan, intending to escort her away.

Sang Yuan laughed wickedly, as if dictating the fate of several blind worms, though it wasn’t honorable, her aim was to win Ye Fan’s favor.

"You... Leaf Alliance Hierarch? Is it truly you? You can’t do this; we were instructed by Tianxuan Sect to investigate an important treasure in Han Zhu Kingdom, a task you authorized. If we leave, it’s back to square one, which might delay progress and affect your major affairs!" Old Xu Monster stopped feigning wit and spoke directly.

Ye Fan frowned, "Tianxuan Sect? Sang Yuan, did I authorize such a task?"

"Master, I don’t know of any treasure in Han Zhu Kingdom, but I do know the Tianxuan Sect is ambitious, perhaps falsely spreading your command, using these people as pawns!" Sang Yuan replied.

Only now did Old Xu Monster realize he was deceived, hurriedly explaining, "No, it was personally arranged by the Tianxuan Sect’s Sect Master Jing Ya, your trusted subordinate!"

Ye Fan said, "Jing Ya?"

"Master, it seems they haven’t given up; they might be trying to stir up trouble, please order the extermination of Tianxuan Sect to assert rightful authority!" Sang Yuan requested.

Ye Fan shook his head, "No matter what the Tianxuan Sect has done, they’re still one of the Seven Great Sects. A void in any of the major sects due to their alliance would cause dissent among the masses. These individuals should face the appropriate punishment. You handle the rest; I’m leaving!"

Ye Fan walked over, gazing deeply at Shen Yan, "Yanyan, come back with me, let me take you back to Earth!"

"You... don’t touch me!" Shen Yan’s face remained aloof. "There’s nothing between us anymore; you have Li Zhaojun and many women who love you. I’m not like them, so we can’t even be friends!"
