He was already the third elder of the Endless Sect to die since the war began!
The Sect Master of the Endless Sect naturally felt heartache, but he was powerless.
He was already struggling to deal with the attacks of the demonic beast, and truly couldn't afford to worry about anything else…
The Cloud Blossom Sect wasn't faring any better.
Although they hadn't lost an elder, all their elite disciples were gone…
The white mist not only made it difficult for them to mobilize their true qi, but it also continuously weakened their five senses.
Attacks they could have handled before now led to failure due to their dulled reactions.
If this continued, they would likely perish sooner or later…
A sense of despair rose in Yun Hua Zhenren's heart.
In fact, from beginning to end, he had never doubted Ye Fan's words.
Theoretically, since Ye Fan suspected this was an illusion array, he must understand arrays as well.
But the problem was…
Ye Fan's bone age was ultimately too young.
First, there was the terrifying existence of a seventh-grade alchemist, and then he had dealt with those monsters whose nature he couldn't even understand before.
All of this was incredibly improbable for someone in their early twenties.
After all, human energy was finite.
Once a person devoted their energy to one thing, they naturally had no energy left to study other things.
Even if Ye Fan knew some array knowledge, it probably wouldn't be very profound…
However, theory was theory, and Yun Hua Zhenren still held onto a sliver of hope.
He hoped Ye Fan could, as before, display divine power at the critical moment and resolve the current predicament.
Regardless, Ye Fan's performance was already monstrously abnormal, so perhaps becoming even more so wasn't impossible.
…
After dodging an attack, Yun Hua Zhenren took the opportunity to glance at Ye Fan's direction.
And the Ye Fan, his last hope, was currently standing there in a daze…
Yun Hua Zhenren sighed inwardly…
As expected, I was overthinking it…
Miracles are called miracles because they don't happen often…
How foolish of me.
After thousands of years, I'm still daydreaming…
As a result, this brief distraction caused him to take a direct hit from the demonic beast…
If not for his strong foundation, that single blow would have been fatal…
…
At the same time, someone else thought of Ye Fan – the Sect Master of the Endless Sect.
Although the current enemy was a familiar thing like a demonic beast, its stealthy attack method was the same as the monster in the great hall earlier.
Moreover, only Ye Fan had suggested that this was an illusion array.
This made him subconsciously feel that Ye Fan might have a solution…
If this continued, everyone, including himself, would be doomed.
So, even if there was only a sliver of a chance, he didn't want to miss it.
"Fourth Elder!" Thinking of this, the Sect Master of the Endless Sect immediately commanded, "Go apologize to that young man and ask him for help!"
The Fourth Elder of the Endless Sect was the one who had spoken critically of Ye Fan earlier.
It was also his attack that had led to the current danger.
The Fourth Elder was clearly surprised, "Sect Master, you…"
"Immediately, at once!" The Sect Master of the Endless Sect berated, "I will not say it a second time!"
"Yes!" The Fourth Elder gritted his teeth and agreed with utter unwillingness.
Outside the battle circle.
The Seventh Elder protected Ye Fan, her eyes filled with vigilance.
Although the demonic beast was being held back by the main force, no one could guarantee that she and Ye Fan were safe.
And Ye Fan himself seemed to be in a daze at the moment…
This was because after the battle began, the faint scent of the Dream Crystal was overwhelmed by the distant attacks.
Furthermore, a single Dream Crystal was insufficient to deduce what kind of illusion array this was.
His mind was currently frantically calculating and deducing.
There were over a hundred types of illusion arrays that utilized Dream Crystals.
Each different material, combined with the Dream Crystal, could derive dozens of combinations.
Calculated this way, the combination types of illusion arrays already numbered in the thousands…
The demonic beast could turn invisible…
The white mist weakened the five senses and also affected the mobilization of a cultivator's true qi…
Various array combination models gradually became clearer in Ye Fan's mind.
At this moment, Ye Fan seemed to have grasped a crucial point, and the answer was about to emerge.
Suddenly.
A voice entered Ye Fan's ear.
"Little friend… this old man was rash before…"
"Shut up!"
Ye Fan, whose thoughts were at a critical juncture, was interrupted, so his tone was naturally not friendly.
The Fourth Elder, who had come to apologize, was almost enraged by being rebuffed like this!
I humble myself to apologize, and you, a cripple, still dare to act this way?!
He clenched his fist under his sleeve, but finally, unwillingly, let go…
There was no other way…
If this matter was mishandled, the Sect Master would definitely flay him alive later…
"Little friend, this old man was rash before…" The Fourth Elder suppressed his anger and said, "I hope you will consider…"
"Shut up!"
The Fourth Elder was rebuffed again, his blood pressure soaring…
He was so stifled that his face turned red like a cooked prawn…
After a while, Ye Fan finally stopped thinking.
The scope had currently been narrowed down to five illusion arrays.
As for which one it was, they would have to wait and see.
"Seventh Elder, please accompany me," Ye Fan said politely to the Seventh Elder.
"Young master, do you have a method to break it?" The Seventh Elder's face suddenly flashed with joy.
"I'm not entirely sure yet, I need to see first," Ye Fan pointed in a direction, "Let's go."
As soon as he finished speaking, Ye Fan's peripheral vision caught a figure.
"You?" Seeing the elder who had spoken critically of him before, Ye Fan was clearly stunned. "When did you get here?"
Ye Fan had absolutely no good feelings for this old fellow!
He could tolerate this fellow acting superior and pretending to know things.
After all, he had no interaction with the other party, and their character was none of his business.
But this fellow had blindly attacked the illusion array without considering the consequences, which he could not tolerate!
If this old fool hadn't acted rashly before, he would have had enough time to resolve this illusion array bit by bit, and the situation wouldn't have deteriorated to such a dire state!
The casualties of the Cloud Blossom Sect were secondary, as he and the Cloud Blossom Sect were at most in a cooperative relationship.
But the problem was, if the Cloud Blossom Sect people were finished, he himself would be in danger.
When his own life was threatened, it became a big problem!
After hearing Ye Fan's words, the Fourth Elder was beside himself!
I'm a living person standing right here, and you say you didn't see me?
Being ignored was the greatest humiliation!
Especially being ignored by a crippled without cultivation, the Fourth Elder's anger could no longer be suppressed!
His true qi surged uncontrollably!
"Swish!"
With a flash of cold light, the Seventh Elder's sword was placed at his neck.
A hint of killing intent also appeared in the Seventh Elder's eyes!
"Misunderstanding, it's all a misunderstanding…" The Fourth Elder immediately backed down, his imposing aura vanishing: "I didn't mean anything else, I just wanted to ask if little friend can break this illusion array…"
Although his relationship with the Seventh Elder wasn't exactly friendly, they were considered acquaintances.
Well…
They were acquaintances he was always soundly beaten by during sparring…
The Fourth Elder already had a shadow of fear towards the Seventh Elder.
Damn it, this woman's attacks were too fierce…
…
"Seventh Elder, let's go," Ye Fan gestured, "We don't want to be disturbed by certain irrelevant people."
