Chapter 1116: Chapter 1116: Ambush on the Shortcut!
Borrowing a knife to kill someone has been played seamlessly by the Sect Master!
With such a Sect Master, how could the Qingyuan Sect fear not becoming the number one major sect in the Southern State?
Rumble! Rumble!
Understanding Ye Fan’s intentions, Wang Fugui, Gu Changsheng, Guo Li, and others spread out in a line, sweeping forward like a bulldozer!
While sprinting madly, the battle sabers in their hands kept busy, shattering all the demon beast nests along the way…
Initially, it was low-grade level one demon beasts, level two demon beasts…
But as they continued deeper into the chaotic zone, they encountered third-grade demon beasts, fourth-level demon beasts… and occasionally even fifth-level demon beasts…
The strength of these demon beasts was equivalent to the Golden Core Peak of humans.
As more and more demon beasts were enraged, and their levels higher and higher, the assassins pursuing from behind started to struggle, with casualties beginning to appear among them!
“Damn it! This is too crafty… damn, I’ve been chasing Ye Fan and haven’t even touched a hair of his, while eight of my brothers have died!”
“Who’s saying otherwise? Damn! We’ve been fighting these demon beasts since entering the chaotic zone, isn’t this just cleaning up after Ye Fan?”
“Ye Fan is doing this on purpose, intentionally enraging those demon beasts to deplete our strength!”
“This can’t go on anymore!”
The remaining dozens of elite assassins, all strong above the Golden Core Peak, realized after losing some companions that they couldn’t continue like this.
If they kept pursuing like this, as they went deeper, the demon beasts’ levels and numbers would increase, and even if not killed, they’d be exhausted!
Moreover, if too many demon beasts formed a beast tide, even a Nascent Soul Realm expert wouldn’t be able to retreat unscathed.
After pushing back the demon beasts again, Elder Ling of the Great Yang Sect paused, “It seems we’ve forgotten something! We were after Ye Fan… why bother with these demon beasts?”
“Yeah! We were all after Ye Fan, but to pursue Ye Fan, we have to slay these demon beasts first!”
“Who says we have to slay the demon beasts? Let whoever wants to kill them do it… since we’re after Ye Fan, we just have to keep an eye on him!”
“But now Ye Fan is running so fast that we can hardly track his scent, how do we keep an eye on him?”
Elder Ling coldly snorted, looking toward the other side of the chaotic zone, “Since Ye Fan is now the Sect Master of the Qingyuan Sect, their only destination passing through the chaotic zone is Tianqi City under the former Qingyuan Sect mountain! We’ll wait at the chaotic zone’s exit, wait at leisure while the enemy toils… we’ll surely catch them!”
Huh?
Elder Ling’s words immediately made everyone present come to a realization!
Right!
How did they not think of this before?
Ye Fan and Jiang Yingda passed through the chaotic zone aiming for Qingyuan Sect headquarters, and if they wait on Ye Fan’s inevitable path, they’ll surely catch him!
“Change direction, stop tangling with these demon beasts!”
With Elder Ling’s order, the dozens of cultivators present instantly changed direction, returning to the main road, and sped toward the chaotic zone’s exit under the setting sun!
The chaotic zone is called that not just because of the demon beasts but also due to some Immortal Domain stragglers.
They are mostly those hunted by various major sects in the Immortal Domain, who gathered, entrenched in the chaotic zone, sustaining their base of life… when a lone cultivator or a weak team pass by, they rob them.
But when Elder Ling and others arrived, those stragglers didn’t dare to make a move!
Elder Ling of the Great Yang Sect, along with several elders from the Soul Hall, all broke into the Nascent Soul Realm, and those stragglers dared not attack them!
They could only let them pass!
…
Meanwhile, Ye Fan and Wang Fugui continued destroying those demon beast nests, with the enraged beasts behind increasing, while the pursuing aura weakened and grew distant!
Jiang Yingda finally let out a long sigh of relief, “Finally shook them off? The Sect Master’s strategy is indeed brilliant!”
Ye Fan signaled Wang Fugui and Guo Li to stop, frowning with concern, “Something’s not right!”
Although those demon beasts behind were strong, most were below the Golden Core Realm, but the ones pursuing them included Nascent Soul Realm experts!
If they intended to force their way, they could easily break through the demon beasts’ charge.
Yet there was no movement behind them!
Did those assassins give up the chase?
Though Ye Fan was quick-witted, he never guessed that Elder Ling would actually choose to give up and plan to intercept them by taking a shortcut.
Moreover, since Elder Ling had such a plan, he was rallying more forces from the other side of the chaotic zone to besiege Ye Fan at the exit of the zone.
“Let’s not worry about it for now, let’s hurry and return to the main road, and quickly leave the chaotic zone!”
After that delay, the sky had darkened, and if they didn’t hasten out, they wouldn’t leave the chaotic zone before nightfall.
What Ye Fan didn’t expect was that upon returning to the main road, Elder Ling and his group had already passed through the road ahead!
Sprinting all the way, and seeing the mountains and hills ahead gradually flatten with signs of activity everywhere.
They could even see distant smoke over the canyon ahead.
Jiang Yingda’s face relaxed significantly, “Finally almost out! Once through the canyon ahead, we’ll enter the Feather Robe Sect’s territory, finally somewhat safer!”
Xiao Ying quietly said to Ye Fan on the side, “Sect Master, the Sect Leader of the Feather Robe Sect is an old flame of Uncle Da!”
Ye Fan chuckled, “I see!”
Who would have thought that Jiang Yingda, with his scruffy beard, was actually a romantic.
As Dragon Horse continued to rush forward, as they approached the canyon, Ye Fan sensed an intense feeling of danger…
“Not good! Stop, retreat!”
Ye Fan ordered Dragon Horse to halt, while a powerful telekinetic wave surged outward, forming a telekinetic barrier in front of everyone!
Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh!
Alongside Ye Fan’s shout, countless crossbow arrows shot forth!
These were enhanced Immortal Domain crossbow arrows, forming a rain of arrows pouring down on them.
Though Ye Fan reacted quickly, and led everyone back several dozen meters… some arrows still grazed Yu Linglong and Liu Xinyue’s arms, but fortunately, they were not seriously harmed.
“What a pity! That Ye Fan is too cautious!”
From the canyon’s hillside, Elder Ling, along with the Soul Hall, Longevity Sect, and other Immortal Domain experts who had been lying in ambush, waved their fists regretfully!
“Quick, kill them, this time don’t let Ye Fan and the others escape!”
“Kill!”
In an instant, countless experts attacked from both sides of the canyon and behind, forming an all-around encirclement and charged at Ye Fan and his group…
