Invincible Young Master in the City-Chapter 1623 - 1619: Xi He Miscalculates

Xi He absolutely did not expect that after saving Tantai Wanrong, Ye Fan could still use a few small crystals to rescue Mo Xiaoyan.

When the figures of Ye Fan, Tantai Wanrong, and Xi He appeared in the underground cavern, she didn’t even realize that Ye Fan had already solved the dilemma she had set.

"Ye Fan, you personally killed one of your women. Let’s see how you escape the torment of your conscience day and night! The principles you uphold are ultimately destroyed by my hands." Xi He seemed very proud, she didn’t care about being controlled by Ye Fan anymore, as if she wasn’t concerned about Ye Fan’s mental torment.

Ye Fan closed his eyes without speaking, still sensing the spiritual connection with the six small crystals, because after the crystals came out of the illusion, they wouldn’t appear in the same place as him. As for where the six small crystals took Mo Xiaoyan, he still needed to contact and investigate.

After Tantai Wanrong came out of the illusion, her memory began to return, as if awakening from a dream.

Because her spiritual power was relatively weak, Xi He’s attack on her was simple, and the backlash against spiritual attacks was not strong, allowing her to quickly regain her Divine Sense. She thought of previous experiences and what Xi He had said before, and exclaimed, "Ye Fan, what exactly happened? Why... why didn’t you save me and Xiaoyan together?"

Ye Fan continued to keep his eyes closed without speaking, Xi He laughed and said, "Human girl, do you still not understand? If Ye Fan could save both, why would he only save one person? I set him a challenge where he had to save one out of the two. He chose to save you, watching the other girl die without a burial place! Haha, this is the Ye Fan you admire, but it seems not that impressive after all!"

"Despicable woman, who are you? Just now... what was all that?" Although Tantai Wanrong recalled many things, she was still filled with confusion, not understanding why Ye Fan could only save one person.

Ye Fan didn’t respond, still searching for the whereabouts of the six small crystals, while Nuwa was beside him, accompanied by Leizu and Chang Yi.

These female cultivators present were all controlled by Ye Fan and served as bait to lure out the Yellow Emperor.

"Stop talking!" Nuwa suddenly gave Tantai Wanrong a glance with irritation and said, "A human girl, her spiritual power isn’t strong, why would Ye Fan with such high cultivation fancy such a mediocre woman?"

"What did you say?" Tantai Wanrong was somewhat disdainful of Nuwa’s belittling.

Though Tantai Wanrong often felt inferior, she didn’t doubt her life choices. She couldn’t understand why she liked Ye Fan, and being told she wasn’t worthy of Ye Fan made her naturally upset.

Ye Fan kept his eyes closed, further irritating Tantai Wanrong.

"Ye Fan, you still haven’t explained what’s happening with Xiaoyan?" Tantai Wanrong pursued her question.

"Didn’t you hear ’shut up’?" Chang Yi suddenly sneered, "If you keep babbling, do you believe I’ll kill you?"

Tantai Wanrong, with a sense of decorum in many matters, sensed the aged tone in the speech of these women, guessing they were highly cultivated and potentially hundreds of years old. Arguing with them seemed meaningless.

Xi He laughed, "You’re called Tantai Wanrong, right? I can tell you, Mo Xiaoyan is already dead, killed by you and also by Ye Fan, you are both culprits. The only way to clear yourself is to sever ties with Ye Fan..."

"Who are you?" Tantai Wanrong glared at Xi He and asked.

Just as Xi He was preparing to answer, Ye Fan suddenly opened his eyes and said, "She is an ancient cultivator with an uncountable lifespan, at least tens of thousands of years. She is despicable, imprisoning you and Xiaoyan in illusions, forcing me to choose between you. If I tried to save you both, both of you would die!"

"Then Ye Fan, why did you choose me, not Xiaoyan? Your decision was wrong, you know? I have nothing to do with you!" Realizing her life was saved at the expense of another, Tantai Wanrong felt very uneasy, indeed swayed by Xi He, harboring some resentment towards Ye Fan.

Ye Fan knew Tantai Wanrong’s emotions were still unstable, and Xi He was using the simplest mental methods to control her.

When Ye Fan suddenly glared, Xi He felt a powerful elemental force attacking her, losing all external support for her body, causing her to fall to the ground, unable to rise in pain.

"What happened to her?" Tantai Wanrong asked, looking at the suffering Xi He.

"This is her deserved punishment. She wanted to harm you, and also me, aiming for my conscience to be tormented day and night. But Xi He, many things you miscalculated, many things aren’t as simple as you imagined!" Ye Fan said.

Xi He laughed hysterically: "Ye Fan, why maintain this facade? Mo Xiaoyan is already dead, killed by you!"

Just then, Mo Xiaoyan was suddenly transported back to the Death Sea cavern by a force, appearing before Ye Fan. Upon seeing Ye Fan again, Mo Xiaoyan’s emotions were filled with excitement. She rushed forward, directly hugged Ye Fan, and exclaimed excitedly, "Brother-in-law!"

Tantai Wanrong and Xi He were both stunned by Mo Xiaoyan’s sudden appearance.

Xi He scrutinized Mo Xiaoyan, using the remaining power to explore the girl before her. Upon confirming it was Mo Xiaoyan, she felt deeply shocked.

"Ye Fan, how is this possible? She... she was clearly dead!" Xi He couldn’t fathom how Ye Fan broke her paradox and saved both Tantai Wanrong and Mo Xiaoyan from the illusion.

Nuwa laughed: "Xi He actually falls short compared to Ye Fan, unaware of the means Ye Fan deployed, quite embarrassing for an ancient cultivator!"

Xi He was agitated, perplexed about how it all transpired. She intended to attack and kill Mo Xiaoyan, but before she could act, Ye Fan launched another spiritual attack, binding her like a monkey under a tight spell, rolling on the ground in pain, void of any ancient cultivator prestige.

Nuwa said: "Very good, very good, that humans can develop such powerful spiritual power cultivators. It shows flaws in my creations, but seeing the achievements of my human creations is somewhat gratifying!"

Tantai Wanrong looked at Mo Xiaoyan and asked, "Xiaoyan, are you okay?"

"I... I’m fine, just scared me to death, thought I would never come out!" Mo Xiaoyan said with lingering fear.
