Invincible Young Master in the City-Chapter 1616 - 1612: Scheming Female Cultivators

Lan Jing emerged from the illusion, still unclear about what had just transpired. Ye Fan said, "Lan Jing, have you thought about what happened to you now?"

"Ye Fan, I felt like I just transitioned from one space to another. You said the sacred object is not dangerous, can you take me to see it?" Lan Jing was very worried about the sacred object being in danger and felt a strong mission to protect it.

Ye Fan glanced at the Mysterious Woman and said, "It’d be best if your Aunt Xuan took you to see it!"

"Huh? Why won’t you go?" Lan Jing seemed quite reluctant to leave Ye Fan.

Ye Fan replied, "I have important matters to attend to. Your Aunt Xuan has something to discuss with you. Senior Xuan-nu, I’ll leave the matter of taking Lan Jing to Earth’s subterranean ocean to you!"

The Mysterious Woman looked at her daughter, overwhelmed with emotion, and with a comforting smile said, "Ye Fan, go confidently, I’ll take her to Earth and explain everything. Also, I hope you can quickly rescue all the women around you. As for what I promised to give you, don’t worry, I will never go back on my word in front of you!"

Ye Fan wasn’t interested in the thing that the Mysterious Woman wanted to give him. He looked at Xi He, who seemed upset, as she appeared to understand what the Mysterious Woman intended to give Ye Fan, which made her dissatisfied, yet she said nothing.

"I’m off to the next illusion!" Ye Fan closed his eyes, determined to swiftly find the next illusion.

Once Ye Fan and Xi He disappeared, the Mysterious Woman looked at Lan Jing and said, "Lan Jing, let’s go to Earth..."

Nearby, Nuwa who had been imprisoned by Ye Fan’s elemental power suddenly said, "Mysterious Woman, are you really determined to do this?"

"What do you mean?" The Mysterious Woman looked at Nuwa, frowning.

"Don’t think I don’t know what you’re going to give Ye Fan. Now that the Prime Woman has become Ye Fan’s servant, if you end up like her and submit to Ye Fan, it means both sisters are betraying the ancient cultivators. Do you think Pan Gu and Fu Xi will tolerate this?" Nuwa said.

The Mysterious Woman replied coldly, "These matters don’t concern you, Nuwa. You are seen as the creator of life, but what of it? You create life only to destroy it, which is your fault. Bringing them life doesn’t mean you have the right to take it away!"

Nuwa appeared somewhat helpless, shaking her head and closing her eyes, saying, "Then I’ll just wait here for someone to save me, even though I know I’ve become bait for Ye Fan to release. But I believe that a human will never control a great cosmic climate; Pan Gu and Fu Xi expecting him to save lives is a grave mistake!"

"Regardless, I’ve decided to become Ye Fan’s servant; it has nothing to do with you, Nuwa. In the eyes of Pan Gu and Fu Xi, you are also a traitor, so don’t speak of others!"

Having said that, the Mysterious Woman took Lan Jing back to Earth, while Nuwa closed her eyes and continued cultivating, but no matter how much she cultivated, she couldn’t recover her strength, and remained unable to escape Ye Fan’s control.

Within the Celestial City, people from the seven sects completed Ye Fan’s wedding and were each arranged to rest in the guest inn.

Sang Yuan, as the ruler of the Celestial City, did a thorough job in hosting guests, fulfilling every instruction from Ye Fan. Only after all tasks were completed did she return to Hanzhu Kingdom, preparing to take Wu Ding, Ping Han, and Ling back to the Celestial City.

The best situation was Ling, whose cultivation was the highest previously. Although Ye Fan demanded a lot from her, her cultivation recovered the fastest.

Next was Wu Ding, whose cultivation was also pure. The worst was Ping Han, still semi-conscious, possibly because Ye Fan’s power was too strong, and the harsh demands of refining the cauldron made it hard for Ping Han to adapt.

"Time to go back!" Sang Yuan suddenly said to the three women, with only Ling opening her eyes.

Ling stood up and moved behind Sang Yuan, well aware that Sang Yuan was sent by Ye Fan to oversee her, much like a jailer, and she had to obey Sang Yuan in everything.

Wu Ding and Ping Han, however, had no need to obey Sang Yuan’s orders, even if Wu Ding sensed Sang Yuan’s arrival, she ignored her.

"Didn’t you hear me?" Sang Yuan said in a stern voice.

"So what if we heard?" Wu Ding said as she opened her eyes, glancing at Sang Yuan, "We are all cultivators for Ye Alliance Hierarch’s cauldron. Even if your cultivation is slightly higher, do you really have the right to command us? In terms of relation with Ye Alliance Hierarch, I once was her mentor!"

Sang Yuan was annoyed but couldn’t act out because she knew Ye Fan’s affection for the women around him. She couldn’t defy Ye Fan or hurt those close to him.

"The young master ordered me to take care of you, so come back with me to the Celestial City. Staying here risks being attacked, and who will protect you then?" Sang Yuan said in a tone of authority.

"We don’t need your protection, even if we die, it’s none of your concern!" Wu Ding said.

Sang Yuan sneered, "You claim it’s not a concern? In that case, wouldn’t the young master blame me then? Ling, it’s your turn now, take them to the Celestial City, I’ll wait outside!"

Sang Yuan was smart; she avoided direct conflict with Wu Ding and Ping Han by using Ling. Ling had no choice and had to obey Sang Yuan’s command, stepping forward and using her spiritual energy to restrain Wu Ding and Ping Han.

Although she was only in the Transcendance Tribulation Stage, dealing with Wu Ding and Ping Han was more than enough. After controlling them, she used spiritual energy to bind them and said to Sang Yuan, "I’m done!"

"Hm, get back to the Celestial City; I have more things to do. For now, the safety of the Celestial City is in your hands!" Sang Yuan passed the responsibility to Ling and left the Hanzhu Kingdom alone.

On Earth, Li Zhaojun woke up in her own home.

Upon seeing the familiar environment, she felt a sense of ease, although her mind felt dizzy. She clearly remembered the foolish actions she took earlier and being trapped in illusions, but she couldn’t discern whether she had truly escaped the illusions.

"Ye Fan, Ye Fan?" After waking, Li Zhaojun wished to see Ye Fan the most, but Ye Fan was not on Earth; he still needed to find Lu Xiaoman and the other women.

A phantom image of Ye Fan appeared, smiling kindly, and said, "Zhao Jun, you’re awake? Stay at home for now; I need to find several other trapped people. I’ll come to see you after rescuing them all; meanwhile, rest and cultivate!"
