At this very moment, Xue Zhi couldn't believe that the culprit was Yun Fan. She began to re-examine the situation.
However, the result of her deliberation still pointed to Yun Fan. It was precisely because of Yun Fan's rise that Huan Ling's dao heart was affected.
Huan Ling subsequently collapsed, and the calamity in Cang Tian Domain thus began.
She never expected her own husband to be the main culprit. Upon receiving the results, Xue Zhi's heart was tormented.
On one hand was the junior sister who had been cared for by the Xian Jian Sect for many years, and on the other was her husband who saved her. It was clear that all the evidence told her to side with Yun Fan.
But she simply couldn't bear Yun Fan's deception.
Therefore, she immediately drew her sword and went to find Yun Fan.
Unlike her usual gentle demeanor, Xue Zhi approached with a surging aura, even carrying killing intent.
"Holy shit!"
Yun Fan was startled by the situation.
Before Yun Fan could react, Xue Zhi had already placed her sword across his neck.
"Wife, what are you doing?"
Yun Fan asked worriedly. Of course, he was worried about himself, truly fearing that Xue Zhi might lose control and kill him directly.
"Tell me, why did you lie to me?"
Xue Zhi asked Yun Fan angrily. Although she was also distressed, she simply wanted to vent her dissatisfaction.
If Yun Fan was smart and gave her a way to back down, she would definitely fall into his arms.
Given the circumstances, she wouldn't kill Yun Fan, nor would she even let him get hurt.
Therefore, this step down was crucial.
As long as Yun Fan relented, she could smoothly find a way to de-escalate.
"You found out?"
Yun Fan asked with confusion.
"Of course. If I didn't know, were you going to keep hiding it?"
At this point, Yun Fan had no choice but to admit it generously, as there was no point in concealing it any further.
"Wife, it's true that I was wrong first, but that was also something I couldn't help!"
Yun Fan said with a dejected face.
"Why couldn't you help it?"
Xue Zhi asked, her face full of confusion.
Yun Fan then said, "As you know, your beloved disciple is a clever and mischievous girl. She forced me! After it happened, I couldn't blame her, could I?"
What was this all about? Xue Zhi's mind was in a complete mess, because what Yun Fan admitted was not at all what she was asking about.
However, upon thinking of her disciple, Xue Zhi began to inquire again.
After all, her disciple Xue Qi had indeed been acting a bit unusually lately.
"Why did she force you?"
Xue Zhi continued to ask.
Yun Fan then said, "Because her injuries were more severe. If she didn't take the step of dual cultivation, she would have become Huang Tian's puppet prematurely. Given our relationship, I would never have taken that step. Just as I was preparing to seal Huang Tian's power and find an opportunity to help later, she immobilized me and then took that step. She also became my woman!"
Upon hearing this, Xue Zhi almost fainted. She never imagined that Xue Qi would steal her 'crystal.'
Moreover, the two of them had kept it from her. If Yun Fan hadn't confessed honestly, she wouldn't have known about this between them.
At this moment, she truly felt like killing Yun Fan.
"When did this happen?"
Xue Zhi suppressed her anger and continued to ask.
Yun Fan stammered, "The day before I dual cultivated with you!"
Instantly, Xue Zhi almost spat out a mouthful of blood. She hadn't expected the two of them to have done it beforehand.
"You two adulterous scoundrels, I'll kill you!"
With that said! Xue Zhi, having lost her reason, was about to deal with Yun Fan first.
As for Xue Qi, she would deal with her later.
"Master, please don't!"
Just then, Xue Qi arrived and quickly stood in front of Yun Fan.
"Good timing! I was just looking for a chance to deal with you!"
Xue Zhi asked angrily. Betrayed by her lover and her disciple, who could accept this?
Therefore, at this moment, she truly wanted to kill the both of them.
"This was my initiative. It has nothing to do with him. If you want to kill, then kill me!"
Xue Qi said tearfully, "I just wanted to live. What did I do wrong?"
"Of course, you did something wrong!"
Xue Zhi cursed angrily, "Your mistake was daring to take my man. Do you still say you did nothing wrong?"
"But I was clearly before you!"
Xue Qi said, "Master, do you know how serious my condition was? If I didn't take that step, I would have become a puppet not long from now. I know you hate me, but being infected by Huang Tian's power is not my fault either. Your disciple doesn't blame you!"
This was Xue Qi's defense.
As soon as she said this, Xue Zhi froze. That was right, Xue Qi had become like this entirely because of her.
Of course, she had no intention of abandoning Xue Qi, as she was helping Xue Qi grow, hoping she would become a formidable presence quickly.
It was just that she never expected it to come to this.
At this moment, she reprimanded Yun Fan, "Then why didn't you tell me earlier? If you had told me, I would have fulfilled your wishes, and we wouldn't have reached this point?"
Undoubtedly, having reached this point, Xue Zhi felt too ashamed to continue living.
Yun Fan said, "Did you expect me to watch you die? I'm sorry, I couldn't do that. Even if I had to do it again, I would still choose this!"
"You..."
Xue Zhi couldn't find any reason to scold Yun Fan. After all, it had already happened, and Yun Fan's words in particular moved her deeply.
At this moment, Xue Qi took the opportunity to say, "Master, although this matter is indeed our fault, truthfully, how could we stand by and watch you die?" Su Dan Novel Network
"Master, please don't blame him anymore. If you must blame someone, then blame me!"
Xue Qi still resolutely stood in front of Yun Fan.
"Enough!"
Xue Zhi said, "This has happened, and it ends here. I don't blame you. It's just that things will be a bit awkward from now on! But I came to find him today for another reason!"
"Another reason?"
Yun Fan was stunned. He thought Xue Zhi had come for this matter, but he didn't expect it to be something else. At this moment, Yun Fan regretted it deeply.
This meant that she hadn't come for this matter at all, and all of this was a result of his honest confession.
At this moment, Yun Fan wanted to stab himself. However, he couldn't be blamed entirely, as Xue Zhi hadn't even stated the reason for her visit and had directly asked him why he lied to her.
If it were anyone else, they would have confessed honestly. So, although he had made a mistake, it wasn't an outrageous one, was it?
"Master, is there something else?"
Xue Qi also looked at Xue Zhi with confusion.
"Of course!"
Xue Zhi said, "The culprit who caused your martial uncle to fall in realm is him. It was precisely because of his rise that your martial uncle's dao heart was broken, causing your martial uncle's cultivation to fall!"
"What?"
Xue Qi, who had been resolutely standing in front of Yun Fan, suddenly showed a look of surprise.
"I should have guessed it was this!"
Yun Fan was on the verge of tears. After all, Xue Zhi had mentioned this matter to him before. To resolve it, he had become Xue Zhi's man.
Now, all the mysteries were solved.
Therefore, it was time for him to play his part.
"Why did you hide this from us?"
Xue Zhi posed a soul-searching question to Yun Fan.
Yun Fan replied, "I also didn't expect my rise to damage Huan Ling's dao heart! It's not fair to blame me entirely for this matter!"
"Why?"
Xue Qi asked in confusion.
"Because I comprehended my power myself. If I hadn't comprehended this unique Zhan Tian Zhi Li (Battle Heaven Power), I wouldn't have been able to heal you. Yes, the power to heal you is this Zhan Tian Zhi Li!"
This was Yun Fan's answer. Indeed, at this moment, he couldn't be passive. He had to firmly grasp the initiative.
This was Yun Fan's plan.
Upon hearing this, the two women were invigorated.
"The lower realm is enslaved by Cang Tian. I just didn't want to be a slave. Yes, I did indeed set a trap for Huan Ling, but I must say, if not for this incident, Huan Ling probably wouldn't have known how many people wanted to betray her and plot against her position!"
This was Yun Fan's answer.
Indeed, if Huan Ling hadn't faced this difficulty, Huan Ling herself might not have known how severe the situation was in Cang Tian Domain.
Nor would she have known the ambition of Hou Qing, who was previously a loyal right-hand man assisting Huan Ling in governing Cang Tian Domain!
It could only be said that this time, it was a fortunate coincidence.
Yun Fan continued, "Moreover, Huan Ling's arrival in Wan Gu Continent was also thanks to me. I saved her from peril multiple times!"
As soon as he said this, the two women completely lost their hatred for Yun Fan.
However, they didn't know that Yun Fan said nothing about controlling Huan Ling.
Of course, the reason he didn't mention it wasn't entirely due to guilt; he also believed he had done nothing wrong.
"Husband, I'm sorry!"
Xue Zhi and Xue Qi lowered their heads in silence, feeling guilty.
Yun Fan embraced them both and said, "These words are unnecessary! As long as you understand me, I'll be content!"
"Mm-hmm!"
The two women nodded, but Xue Zhi said, "Husband, if my junior sister meets you again, she will definitely kill you. Why don't you go into hiding? We'll come find you after we complete our junior sister's great undertaking!"
This was Xue Zhi's concern. She knew her junior sister too well. Once Huan Ling grew stronger,
Yun Fan would be her first target. Not to mention that Yun Fan had tricked Huan Ling, but even Yun Fan's possession of this unique Zhan Tian Zhi Li would not be tolerated by Huan Ling.
After all, Yun Fan's Zhan Tian Zhi Li had already posed a serious threat to Heaven-level experts.
Once Yun Fan successfully grew stronger, he might even be able to contend with Heaven-level experts.
"That won't do!"
Xue Qi said, "If husband leaves, what about us?"
After all, she wanted to be with Yun Fan at all times.
"If we beg our martial aunt, she definitely won't make things difficult for husband!"
This was Xue Qi's plan.
But Xue Zhi said, "If a person isn't ruthless, they can't sit in Cang Tian's position. This method won't work!"
She could see through everything and understand people's hearts. She knew her junior sister would never give up.
"Then what should we do?"
Just then, Yun Fan said, "You don't need to worry too much. Perhaps if she sees me, the situation won't be so severe. After all, I've saved her several times!"
In fact, his greatest confidence came from his control over Huan Ling. As long as Huan Ling was under his control, she wouldn't be able to cause any major trouble.
However, he didn't know that Huan Ling had already broken free from his control, and he was still foolishly unaware.
At this moment, Xue Zhi said, "It's still not safe. I must deduce your future destiny!"
"Very well!"
Yun Fan nodded. This method was probably the best.
Unexpectedly, at this very moment, a cold voice echoed.
"There's no need to deduce, because with me here, he has no future!"
"What?"
The three were instantly shocked, as they recognized the voice of the newcomer. Indeed, the one who arrived was none other than Huan Ling.
After Huan Ling broke through to the late stage of He Dao, she came to the Xian Jian Sect, knowing that the Xian Jian Sect would never betray her.
"Not good!"
Xue Zhi and Xue Qi's faces turned pale with fear.
However, Yun Fan was very confident.
"Cang Tian, long time no see!"
Yun Fan smiled, confident in his ability to control Huan Ling, so he truly wasn't afraid of her.
"Yes! Long time no see!"
Huan Ling said coldly, "I've missed you dearly!"
"Don't be like this!"
Yun Fan advised, as he could see that Huan Ling was indeed looking for trouble with him.
"Seeking death!"
Huan Ling directly attacked, aiming straight for Yun Fan.
"No!"
The two women quickly warned, but it was too late, as Huan Ling had already reached Yun Fan.
"Why are you doing this?"
Yun Fan said speechlessly, "You can't do anything to me anyway!"
Thus, he immediately unleashed his control technique, believing it was the only way to calm Huan Ling down.
But in the next moment, he was stunned, not for any other reason than that Huan Ling was completely unresponsive to his control.
Bang!
With a single move, Huan Ling sent him flying, spitting blood. This outcome was something even Yun Fan hadn't anticipated.
"Did you really think you could control me?"
Huan Ling said dismissively, "The control has already been broken. Next is your death!"
"What?"
Yun Fan was truly frightened at this moment.
"Die!"
Huan Ling wasted no words and was about to finish Yun Fan off.
Unexpectedly, at this critical juncture, Xue Qi and Xue Zhi quickly stepped in front of Yun Fan.
"Junior Sister, please don't!"
"Martial Aunt, please don't!"
The two women pleaded.
At this moment, although Huan Ling was filled with killing intent, she temporarily stopped her attack.
"Why?"
Huan Ling asked coldly. She hadn't expected her senior sister and her junior disciple to plead for Yun Fan, this despicable scoundrel.
The two women quickly said, "Because he is our husband!"
"What?"
Huan Ling was dumbfounded. When did this happen?
"The husband of both of you?"
Huan Ling asked in confusion, suspecting she had misheard, and wanted to confirm.
"Mm-hmm!"
The two women nodded.
Instantly, Huan Ling's vision went black. She never imagined such a melodramatic turn of events.
Did this master-disciple pair have any sense of decency left?
Would they only choose Yun Fan if all the men in the world were dead?
Especially her senior sister, who had always been aloof, would never act so absurdly. There must be a reason behind it.
Therefore, she immediately asked, "What exactly happened?"
So, the two explained how Yun Fan had healed them to Huan Ling.
Only then did Huan Ling understand.
"Martial Aunt, can you let him go on our behalf? Don't make things difficult for him?"
Xue Qi pleaded.
"Junior Sister, although he made a mistake, he can also atone for his sins. Please don't make things difficult for him!"
Seeing that the two women had completely fallen for him, Huan Ling was furious.
"Get out of the way!"
In an instant, Huan Ling bypassed them and grabbed Yun Fan.
"Husband!"
The two women rushed forward.
"You'd best not make any rash moves, or I will kill him!"
Huan Ling threatened directly.
The two women dared not step forward.
Yun Fan was about to speak.
"Shut up!"
After Huan Ling's furious shout, Yun Fan obediently fell silent. He had no choice; his life was the priority at this moment.
At this moment, Huan Ling said to the two women, "You probably don't know what he did to me!"
"What did he do?"
The two women looked at Huan Ling in confusion.
Then Huan Ling recounted her fall to Wan Gu Continent.
"This is how he controlled me. Do you still think he's a good person?"
Huan Ling said coldly. In her eyes, Yun Fan was a despicable and shameless person.
The two women did not answer, as they had not yet recovered. However, they firmly believed that their husband was not such a shameless person.
At this moment, Huan Ling said, "Forget him! I will kill him today!"
Huan Ling also knew that Yun Fan's potential was immense. If he continued to grow like this, he would pose a great threat to her in the future.
Therefore, at this moment, she had to kill Yun Fan.
"No!"
The two women stepped forward, "Junior Sister, if you want to kill him, then kill us too!"
"Yes!"
Xue Qi also said, "Martial Aunt, husband's nature is not bad. We only hope that Martial Aunt can spare his life!"
This was the plea of the two women. While it was a plea, it also carried a threat.
After all, in the entire Cang Tian Domain, only the Xian Jian Sect had not betrayed Huan Ling. If even the Xian Jian Sect betrayed her, then Huan Ling would truly be isolated and helpless.
Yun Fan also chimed in, "I know there are significant misunderstandings between us, but as things stand, we are the only ones who can help you. Although your peak strength is formidable! With our help at this moment, your path will be smoother. I also hope we can resolve our animosity and no longer be enemies!"
In fact, Yun Fan was internally breaking down. He wondered if that old fellow Hou Qing was just loafing around.
Why hadn't he found Huan Ling yet, leaving him completely in Huan Ling's clutches?
In the end, Yun Fan's heart was shattered.
But for now, he had to survive Huan Ling's wrath first, otherwise, nothing else would matter.
Huan Ling said, "It's simple for you to live. Unless you can take three of my moves. If you survive after three moves, then I will shake hands with you and make peace!"
"Martial Aunt, husband has not yet grown. Three moves will be the death of him!"
Xue Qi pleaded.
Xue Zhi also said, "Junior Sister, you could actually find other ways!"
"Impossible!"
Huan Ling said, "This is my bottom line. I don't want any of you to trample on my bottom line again!"
Seeing the two sides in a standoff, Yun Fan knew it was time for him to step forward.
Yun Fan said, "Three moves, is it? I accept!"
"Aren't you afraid of death?"
Huan Ling sneered dismissively. She hadn't expected Yun Fan to agree so readily.
"Everyone is afraid of death, myself included!"
Yun Fan said, "But I don't want to see my two wives in distress, so why shouldn't I agree to it?"
"Husband, no!"
The two women wanted to tell Yun Fan that even if he didn't agree, they could still resolve this matter. Of course, after resolving it, there would be a rift between them and Huan Ling.
But they were also duty-bound.
However, Yun Fan insisted, and they were powerless to do anything.
In fact, Yun Fan's insistence was not blind. He believed he had the confidence to withstand Huan Ling's three moves.
If Huan Ling had fully recovered her peak strength in such a short time, then he would admit defeat and have no complaints.
Thus, at this moment, Yun Fan stepped forward voluntarily.
"Come on!"
"Seeking death!"
Huan Ling quickly launched her first move, the most primal Cang Tian power.
At this moment, she had entered the late stage of He Dao, and her power was terrifying.
Among those present, only Xue Zhi was stronger than her in her current state.
Xue Zhi watched intently from the side. If Yun Fan couldn't block it, she would intervene to help him.
Bang!
Yun Fan managed to block the first move by channeling all his Zhan Tian Zhi Li, narrowly escaping danger.
"I didn't expect you to block it!"
Huan Ling sneered. Even Xue Zhi and Xue Qi were shocked. They hadn't expected Zhan Tian Zhi Li to be so terrifying.
To be able to block across realms, in this regard alone, it was enough to prove that Zhan Tian Zhi Li was the most heaven-defying power.
"But your Zhan Tian Zhi Li is already depleted. What will you use to block next?"
Instantly, Huan Ling attacked again. Unexpectedly, Yun Fan burned his blood essence and perfectly blocked Huan Ling's next move.
Although he was a bit disheveled, he had managed to get through it safely. Therefore, at this moment, Yun Fan couldn't help but feel relieved.
"What?"
Huan Ling was shocked again. She hadn't expected Yun Fan to be so close to the late stage of He Dao in such a short time.
This speed of growth astonished her. It was normal for her to recover quickly, but for Yun Fan to break through so rapidly was truly unsettling. No matter what, she had to kill Yun Fan.
Unlike Hou Qing, she could kill Hou Qing once her strength recovered, but Yun Fan was different.
If Yun Fan also reached his peak, he might be able to disregard the rules of the Heavenly Heart and defeat her directly. One could imagine how terrifying this potential enemy was.
If Yun Fan were allowed to live, then she would be the one suffering.
Because Yun Fan was the first to be able to disregard the rules and fight her on equal footing.
"Next is the third move!"
Huan Ling reminded him coldly. Clearly, with this move, she would unleash her ultimate technique and strike to kill.
"No problem!"
Although he was extremely panicked internally, Yun Fan remained unafraid at this moment.
After all, fear was useless.
At this moment, Huan Ling directly activated her most fundamental power.
Indeed, it was the core of Cang Tian power. Seeing that Huan Ling had also used this power, Yun Fan naturally wouldn't fall behind.
If the previous battle was in terms of moves, then now it had completely changed to being based on the core of the source.
This move was extremely destructive.
With the slightest misstep, one could be annihilated without a trace.
At this moment, Yun Fan did not show weakness. This would be a contest between Zhan Tian Zhi Li and Cang Tian power.
Which power was stronger would be fully revealed in this move.
Therefore, this was a battle of absolute strength.
Xue Zhi and Xue Qi watched the scene intently. Although all signs pointed to Yun Fan's Zhan Tian Zhi Li being stronger,
they couldn't discern who was superior without the two powers directly clashing.
But undoubtedly, this was a brutal contest.
When the two powers converged, it was an ultimate clash. In this clash, Huan Ling's power was stronger,
which allowed her to suppress Yun Fan's power.
However, Yun Fan did not surrender directly, spitting out a mouthful of blood at the cost of continuing the clash with Huan Ling.
Boom!
In the end, Zhan Tian Zhi Li won by a slight advantage. Cang Tian power was instantly shattered, but Zhan Tian Zhi Li was also rendered powerless.
"What?"
All three were stunned. They hadn't expected Yun Fan's Zhan Tian Zhi Li to not only block Cang Tian power but also win.
How incredible was this.
It appeared to be a draw, but anyone with discerning eyes knew that Yun Fan had indeed won.
At this moment, the three women didn't know how to express themselves.
Yun Fan was truly an anomaly in all of history. Although he lived under the shroud of Heaven, he could exert power that surpassed Heaven.
They finally understood why Yun Fan could affect Huan Ling's dao heart. With this kind of power, it was impossible not to be affected.
Because Yun Fan was too monstrous.
Especially Huan Ling. She knew that this was when Yun Fan's strength was inferior to hers. If their strengths were equal,
it wouldn't be a brief victory, but a complete and utter annihilation.
Therefore, at this moment, she knew that if Yun Fan were allowed to continue growing, the consequences would be unimaginable.
"We've fought to a draw, can we now shake hands and make peace?"
Yun Fan asked with a smile.
Although he felt extremely wronged, this was all he could do. Otherwise, Huan Ling would not let him go.
When his strength reached its peak, he would deal with Cang Tian, Huang Tian, and Qing Tian as he saw fit.
For now, it was best to keep a low profile.
Huan Ling said, "Yes, of course, we can!"
"That's good!"
Yun Fan breathed a sigh of relief, and the two women's vigilance completely subsided. This was considered a happy ending for all.
Unexpectedly, at that very moment, Huan Ling suddenly attacked and directly controlled Yun Fan.
"Martial Aunt, what are you doing?"
Xue Qi asked incredulously.
Huan Ling sneered, "Although I agreed not to kill him, it doesn't mean I won't control him!"
"Junior Sister, don't make another mistake!"
Xue Zhi quickly said, "You are Cang Tian, you cannot go back on your word!"
Undoubtedly, at this moment, Xue Zhi felt extremely disappointed. She hadn't expected her junior sister to be a person who went back on her word.
But Huan Ling said, "What does it matter if I go back on my word? I will be that kind of person. What can you do?"
"Sigh!"
Yun Fan sighed, "Ultimately, I misjudged you. Instead of controlling me, you might as well have given me a quick death!"
"Do you think I dare?"
Huan Ling was about to act.
But at this moment, Xue Zhi said, "Junior Sister, if you dare to kill him, then the entire Xian Jian Sect will no longer be subservient to you!"
"That's right!"
Xue Qi also said directly. Although these words were incredibly rebellious, they had no choice.
"Don't worry, I won't kill him, because I still need to research a method to break Zhan Tian Zhi Li! As for him now, he has no control over his freedom!"
With that, she grabbed Yun Fan and vanished from the spot.
The two women stood there, dejected. Given the circumstances, even betraying her would be futile. They could only look for an opportunity to save Yun Fan.
Meanwhile, Huan Ling, carrying Yun Fan, arrived at another location and directly injected three powers to control Yun Fan.
"Hmph!"
Huan Ling looked at the battered Yun Fan and snorted, "Today, I'll let you taste what it's like to be controlled!"
"I don't care!"
Yun Fan said, "After all, I'm not like you, not honest at all. I'm a very honest person!"
"I hope you stick to your word!"
With that, Huan Ling was completely reassured. She didn't believe Yun Fan could escape her control.
Then she went into seclusion at the Xian Jian Sect, as it was undoubtedly a place of stability at the moment.
"Husband, how can we save you?"
Xue Qi and Xue Zhi asked Yun Fan with concern.
Yun Fan said, "Don't worry. Once I break through to the late stage of He Dao, I'll be able to break free myself!"
Although he could break free now, it would be easily detected by Huan Ling, and he didn't know what methods Huan Ling would use to deal with him.
Therefore, in Yun Fan's opinion, the safest course of action was not to break free now but to do so decisively after breaking through to the late stage of He Dao.
As long as Huan Ling didn't reach her peak, he wouldn't be afraid.
The two women knew what to do and directly took half of the Xian Jian Sect's resources to help Yun Fan break through.
Although it wasn't impossible to give up all of them, firstly, Yun Fan couldn't use them all, and secondly, it would be problematic if Huan Ling discovered it.
"Thank you both!"
Yun Fan said, "I will go into seclusion now. At most, I will break through in a year! But during this year, you must help me stall Huan Ling!"
"Husband, there's no need for thanks. It's what we should do!"
The two women assured Yun Fan, "At the same time, please rest assured, husband, we will definitely hold her off!"
"That's good!"
Although the two women wanted to stay with Yun Fan, they couldn't disturb him at this moment.
Because Yun Fan's seclusion was of utmost importance.
As for stalling Huan Ling, it was simple for them. If absolutely necessary, they wouldn't hesitate to threaten her with their lives.
...
A year later, Huan Ling emerged from seclusion. Although she hadn't fully recovered to the peak of He Dao, she had thoroughly consolidated her late He Dao stage.
As long as she had the opportunity, she could reach her peak in one fell swoop and once again become the revered Cang Tian.
"Where is Yun Fan?"
Huan Ling asked directly.
The two women quickly replied, "Husband is in seclusion comprehending techniques and should emerge soon!"
This was their story.
But Huan Ling said, "Is he really comprehending techniques? Are you sure he's not trying to break my seal?"
Upon hearing this, the two women's expressions changed.
But Xue Zhi said, "Junior Sister, he is under your control. You must know best whether he has broken through your restraints!"
So, Huan Ling carefully sensed him and, confirming that Yun Fan could not cause any major trouble, breathed a sigh of relief.
"Tell him to absolutely have no other ideas, otherwise, I will not show any mercy!"
Huan Ling said coldly.
"Yes!"
The two women quickly nodded. At this moment, they knew Yun Fan had no other choice.
Then, Huan Ling said, "I hope you two also don't play any tricks under my nose!"
"The reason I didn't kill him is to save face for you, so I hope you don't disappoint me!"
Huan Ling continued to advise.
"Yes!"
The two women quickly nodded. They had indeed played a small trick, but they were certain they hadn't betrayed Huan Ling. They were merely helping Yun Fan.
Therefore, they believed they had done nothing wrong.
Unexpectedly, at this moment, Huan Ling sensed several auras descending.
The three women's expressions changed. Xue Zhi, the strongest among them, quickly went outside the Xian Jian Sect and discovered four experts at the late stage of He Dao, just like herself.
Even Xue Zhi was very surprised by the sudden arrival of these four experts.
Because the arrivals were the four vassal kings, Tian Can and Di Que.
Each of them could rival her, and some were even stronger than her.
"May I ask what business the four esteemed colleagues have at my Xian Jian Sect?"
Xue Zhi asked directly.
One of the vassal kings said, "We are here on the orders of Lord Hou Qing. We demand that your Xian Jian Sect hand over Cang Tian, or we will raze your Xian Jian Sect to the ground!"
As expected, Hou Qing had set his sights on the Xian Jian Sect.
Xue Zhi said, "Perhaps Lord Hou Qing is mistaken. Isn't Cang Tian dead? Even if she's not dead, she wouldn't be at my Xian Jian Sect!"
However, the four did not believe her. "We don't care about that. If you don't hand her over, we will flatten the Xian Jian Sect! We hope you don't disregard Lord Hou Qing's orders just because he favors you! After all, you only have two choices: either hand over Cang Tian, or die. The fact that Lord Hou Qing hasn't come himself is already giving you enough face!"
This was the attitude of the four.
But Xue Zhi said, "No matter what you say, I'm telling you, there is no one here!"
"Then we can only flatten your Xian Jian Sect!"
Instantly, the four prepared to make their move.
"You four, with your wolf-hearted and dog-hearted treachery! I treated you well back then. I never expected you to become Hou Qing's lackeys. You have disappointed me greatly!"
Just then, Huan Ling appeared.
"Junior Sister!"
Xue Zhi knew that Huan Ling shouldn't have appeared at this moment. Her appearance would expose her identity.
Huan Ling said, "Senior Sister, there's no need to worry. How could I stand by and watch the Xian Jian Sect fall!"
"So you are indeed at Xian Jian Sect!"
The four looked at Huan Ling dismissively. When Huan Ling was at her peak, they wouldn't even dare to breathe heavily.
But now, they were reckless, because they knew that Cang Tian before them was already crippled.
Therefore, the once high and mighty Cang Tian posed no threat in their eyes.
Huan Ling said, "What if I am here? Why don't you pay homage to Cang Tian?"
"Because you are not qualified!"
A vassal king said disdainfully, "This era belongs to Lord Hou Qing. Your era has already passed!"
Instantly, the four disregarded the past favors of Cang Tian and directly attacked Huan Ling. A world-shattering battle was imminent.
At this moment, Huan Ling casually unleashed her control technique, as under Cang Tian, any Dao fruit could be controlled by her.
Of course, except for Yun Fan's Dao fruit, because Yun Fan's Dao fruit was his self-created Zhan Tian Zhi Li.
Unexpectedly, the leading vassal king directly struck Huan Ling with a single move.
"Pfft!"
Huan Ling flew backward, spitting blood.
"Junior Sister!"
Xue Zhi quickly helped Huan Ling up.
They said to Huan Ling, "Cang Tian, don't expect to control our Dao fruits. Your strength is not at its peak, what can you do to fight us?"
The four were extremely disdainful. At this moment, they were certain of victory against Huan Ling.
Huan Ling hadn't expected to lose control of the four. It seemed that the battle today would be unavoidable and minor.
More importantly, even if she and Xue Zhi joined forces, they wouldn't be a match for the four.
"Attack!"
The four decisively charged forward. Their target was Huan Ling. As for Xue Zhi, they would still spare her life.
After all, Hou Qing had always favored Xue Zhi, so they could only capture Xue Zhi, but not kill her.
Huan Ling felt as if she were facing a formidable enemy, as the four were fighting with their lives.
Even if the two women joined forces, they couldn't withstand the simultaneous assault of the four. It had to be said that she, Cang Tian, had reached a desperate situation.
"Junior Sister, hurry and leave! I'll hold them off!"
Xue Zhi reminded Huan Ling. She could tell that the four wouldn't kill her.
"Want to leave? Impossible!"
The four surrounded Huan Ling and Xue Zhi's escape route, absolutely refusing to give Huan Ling a chance to escape.
Undoubtedly, at this moment, it was a desperate situation for Huan Ling.
"Fight!"
Huan Ling did not hesitate and directly engaged in battle. Even in a desperate situation, she could only fight to the death rather than die in disgrace.
To this end, she directly communicated with Cang Tian power and unleashed the Heavenly Heart Imprint to its fullest.
In her current state, she could kill one of them in a one-on-one fight, but in a two-on-one situation, even as Cang Tian, she couldn't change the outcome.
Therefore, the situation was extremely brutal for her.
Xue Zhi was also injured. In such a numerically disadvantageous situation, she was also powerless.
Seeing Huan Ling once again heavily injured by two vassal kings, Xue Zhi became enraged and prepared to fight to the death.
Not only she, but Huan Ling also prepared to fight to the death.
The four vassal kings were extremely proud. Fighting to the death would be futile. Who would have thought that the once invincible Cang Tian would be brought to an end by them?
Unexpectedly, at this very moment, a commanding voice echoed.
"All of you, step back! I'll handle this!"
With that, Yun Fan walked out.
"Hmm?"
At this instant, all four turned their gaze to Yun Fan. Although Yun Fan was an unknown individual, they sensed that he was no ordinary person.
"Husband, you are no match for them. Let the three of us join forces!"
Xue Zhi also didn't expect Yun Fan to emerge from seclusion, so at this moment, she was still prepared to fight to the death.
Even if Yun Fan had broken through, fighting four at once was impossible.
Even Huan Ling thought so, as these four were the strongest among the vassal kings.
"Enough nonsense!"
Yun Fan said, "Get down, leave this to me. It's fine, I'll handle it!"
"What?"
