Chapter 1993: Chapter 1858: Fanning the Flames

The Star Sea was blazing with brilliance!

Ye Fan and his group—Bai Yan wolf, the rebellious Dragon, and the Peacock—traveled through the endless Star Sea, leaving one star after another far behind them.

Within the Star Sea stood one Heavenly Stele after another, guiding their way.

"What’s that?"

Bai Yan wolf cried out in surprise, looking toward the front left not far away.

There, a patch of dazzling radiance blazed, its light even suppressing the stars.

"Star River Divine Sand?"

The rebellious Dragon’s eyes instantly went wide; with a Divine Dragon Tail swing, he directly shot toward that ravaging light.

"Mine!"

Bai Yan wolf shouted, opened up his Chasing Star Step, and slapped a claw onto the Golden Divine Dragon’s head, not letting him rush over first, viciously competing.

"Swoosh!"

With a flash of light, the Five-colored Peacock overtook Bai Yan wolf and the rebellious Dragon; as soon as the Five-Colored Divine Light burst forth, he directly swept up a large patch of Star River Divine Sand.

"Boss, that’s way out of line, isn’t it?" Bai Yan wolf said, unwilling to accept it.

"Exactly, good stuff should be shared; you can’t hog it all yourself," the rebellious Dragon chimed in, his eyes flickering with greedy light.

During this period, following Bai Yan wolf around, he had also learned to freeze up completely whenever he saw a treasure.

"Give me back my Holy Weapon and I’ll split some with you; otherwise, forget it!"

The Peacock was still thinking about the stash that had been looted by Bai Yan wolf and the others; how could he hand things out so easily?

"Let me see."

Ye Fan spoke up; he wanted to see what this Star River Divine Sand actually was.

"Swoosh!"

A flash of light appeared in front of the Peacock, and a small patch of dazzling divine sand appeared; it looked roughly like ordinary sand, but shone with brilliant radiance.

"Star River Divine Sand; every single grain weighs ten thousand jun. If you properly perform Sacrificial Refinement on it, it’ll be of great use in the future—even Saint Lord Level experts won’t be able to withstand it," the rebellious Dragon explained to Ye Fan while drooling.

Although most of his memories had already vanished, he hadn’t discarded even a bit of his knowledge about various treasures.

Before his Nirvana, he had rampaged across the Star Domain for several thousand years and had only ever obtained one handful of Star River Divine Sand, which had even been destroyed in a great battle with an Emperor Level strong Human-shaped creature.

"You all put it away."

Ye Fan didn’t take any of this precious Star River Divine Sand; to him, everything external was just foreign objects, not as good as tempering his own body to be stronger.

When he could shatter a Quasi-Emperor Weapon with his bare hands, what other weapon would he need?

His fists were his best weapons!

In this vast Star Sea, it was likely that only this tiny amount of Star River Divine Sand had been bred.

There was no denying their luck was excellent; many people had already walked this Ancient Road, yet no Star River Divine Sand had appeared.

They followed the guidance of the Heavenly Steles and flew forward all the way.

Three days later.

They finally saw other Trialists and sensed a trace of life; it was no longer so deathly silent.

"Swish!"

The first Trialist they saw was a young strong Human Race cultivator from another Ancient Star of Life.

However, when this person saw Ye Fan, it was as if he’d seen a ghost; he fled in panic, his speed in that instant rising to the extreme—rabbits were nothing compared to him.

Hm?

Ye Fan frowned slightly.

"Heh heh..."

Bai Yan wolf gloated from the side: "You’re famous now. I’m afraid there’s no one on this entire Xing Kong Gu Road who doesn’t know you’re being called a Demon Clan spy."

"Scram!"

Ye Fan was extremely depressed and kicked Bai Yan wolf right in the crotch, sending him flying.

"This is looking bad."

The rebellious Dragon spoke solemnly: "Looks like these people really have taken you for a Demon Clan spy."

A few hours later, they ran into another group of Trialists, both men and women, all extremely powerful, their surging blood energy like a roaring furnace.

However, their reaction was almost identical to that first person; when they saw Ye Fan walking toward them, they all bolted.

This time Ye Fan heard them muttering as they ran, saying things like how the Divine Dragon and Peacock were actually following a Demon Clan spy.

Fortunately, there were more and more Trialists on this Xing Kong Gu Road now; before long, Ye Fan and the others encountered several Trialists traveling together.

"Stop right there!"

Ye Fan shouted, opened up the Chasing Star Step, and in an instant overtook them, blocking their path ahead.

At the same time, Bai Yan wolf, the rebellious Dragon, and the Peacock each approached from a different direction, surrounding these six Trialists in the middle.

Ye Fan hadn’t wanted to do this, but he had to clear his Identity; otherwise, he’d become the public enemy of the entire Xing Kong Gu Road, and that would be extremely disadvantageous for him.

"Fight it!"

Seeing that they were already surrounded, the five people’s faces suddenly changed. They directly brought out their Spiritual Artifacts, ready to tear open a gap and rush out, otherwise their lives would not be guaranteed.

"Hold it, don’t act yet!"

Seeing the five of them looking like they were about to fight to the death, Ye Fan couldn’t help but frown and said, "Why are you all hiding from me?"

"Pah, Demon Clan spy, your Identity has long since been exposed, yet you’re still here putting on a fake act. Don’t you feel shameless?"

One of the young Trialists, already at the Peak of Late-stage Lord Realm, looked at Ye Fan coldly, his eyes full of resolve and hostility.

"Are you all blockheads?"

The Bai Yan wolf said angrily, "He’s not a Demon Clan spy at all, otherwise would we follow him?"

"Stupid Humans!" the Peacock said coldly.

"If you want to fight, then fight. Don’t use flowery words to deceive us."

That young Trialist spoke, already fully prepared for battle.

"If I were a Demon Clan spy, would I still be wasting words on you?"

Ye Fan shook his head. What was wrong with these people? On what basis were they so sure he was a Demon Clan spy?

"Break out!"

The young Trialist shouted loudly, brought out a Forbidden Artifact and attacked Ye Fan, then charged together with the others toward the Bai Yan wolf.

Their blood and qi surged to the heavens; the five combined were absolutely a torrent, sweeping away anything in their path!

"Boom!"

Ye Fan swung a punch, directly blasting the Forbidden Artifact apart. A ball of blazing powerful radiance erupted, like a burning sun, its light dazzling.

At the same time, the Bai Yan wolf took several heavy blows and was sent flying a thousand zhang away. After the five broke out of the encirclement, they quickly fled far into the distance.

"Get back here!"

The Bai Yan wolf was furious; it had never suffered such a loss before. It hadn’t even struck first, yet it was directly knocked flying.

"Hum!"

The Bai Yan wolf directly brought out the Purple Gold Bell, rapidly enlarging it. Like a Divine Bell, it directly collected that young Trialist who had unleashed the Forbidden Artifact.

"Don’t go and just hack him into ash," the rebellious Dragon sidled over with bad intentions, wanting to snatch its Purple Gold Bell.

"Don’t worry, the Heavenly Tribulation Power inside is under my control, nothing will happen to him." The Bai Yan wolf was extremely vigilant and directly shook the captive out of the Purple Gold Bell.

At this moment, that young Trialist was already dizzy, stars spinning before his eyes.

"Speak, what exactly is going on!"

The Bai Yan wolf pressed a big paw on his chest and clawed around, scraping away all the treasures on his body.

Looking at the Bai Yan wolf’s big head and those white, sharp fangs right in front of him, the young Trialist was almost scared unconscious and stammered out everything he knew.

It turned out that now the entire Xing Kong Gu Road was abuzz with the rumor that Ye Fan was a Demon Clan spy who had infiltrated the Human Clan’s Ancient Star Path, and that he had successively killed Trialists of the Divine Race and Demon Clan, using Death Energy and possessing extremely powerful strength.

"Bastard, do we look like we’re so bloodthirsty?" The Bai Yan wolf smacked him with a paw and roared loudly, spitting saliva all over his head and face.

That young Trialist could not be considered weak, but in the Bai Yan wolf’s hands he couldn’t even struggle.

However, he also had doubts in his heart. Supposedly, the Demon Clan cultivated with Death Energy. If Ye Fan really were a Demon Clan spy, he shouldn’t be wasting so many words on him; he would have killed him long ago.

"Open your Human eyes and see clearly. Lord Long here has five claws, an Emperor of the Long Clan. Would Lord Long misjudge someone? If he were truly of the Demon Clan, would Lord Long follow him?"

The rebellious Dragon also came over, spraying a faceful of saliva on him.

Now this young Trialist looked like he’d just been fished out of water, with saliva dripping down him in streams, disgusted to the extreme.

"Ugh!" 𝘧𝓇ℯℯ𝑤ℯ𝘣𝓃ℴ

The Peacock couldn’t stand it anymore, looking utterly repulsed. It turned its head aside, preferring "out of sight, out of mind."

"If Ye Fan really wanted to kill them, he’d have done it long ago. Would it still be their turn to spread rumors!" The Peacock spoke in an ice-cold tone, laying out the truth.

These past few days, Ye Fan had also told the Peacock and the others about his experiences, so the Peacock knew very clearly what Ye Fan had done.

At the time it had already pointed out that Ye Fan was in the wrong. Jiang Kuang and the Divine Prince both had grudges against him; hatred could drive a person mad. They would definitely spread rumors and use others’ hands to get rid of Ye Fan.

"Ye Fan, your situation right now is very bad. You must quickly think of a way to prove your innocence, otherwise you’ll be unable to take a single step on the Xing Kong Gu Road, and will surely face the united siege of all Trialists, and might even drag us down with you."

The Peacock keenly sensed that the current situation was extremely unfavorable to Ye Fan. If the rumors weren’t broken soon, his future would be bleak.

No matter how strong a person is, they cannot contend against all the Trialists on the Xing Kong Gu Road, not to mention the Saints of the various Ancient Cities, the Law Enforcers on the Xing Kong Gu Road, and so on.

These older-generation strong people were even more terrifying; some had even reached the realm of Quasi-Emperor. If they truly took action, Ye Fan would have no way to survive.

"Mm."

Ye Fan nodded; he had also sensed that someone was fanning the flames from behind.

However, proving himself was easier said than done, especially since he carried Death Energy. Once he used it, it would undoubtedly cement his Identity as a Demon Clan spy.

Right now, strength was what mattered most. If he had the power to run rampant on the Xing Kong Gu Road, why would he fear anyone’s Wuxian?

Therefore, he decided to find a hidden place and go into seclusion for a period of Cultivation.

Ever since he obtained the Chaos Heavenly Skill, he hadn’t really cultivated it. This was just the right opportunity to cultivate it properly, while quietly watching how things developed. He believed there would come a day when the truth came to light!
