Chapter 1371: All Ran Away?
“Is that so? Hmph! Then Yiji is in trouble this time!”
A wicked smile appeared at the corner of Ye Fan’s mouth, and he whistled into the void.
The Tai Cang hovering in the sky faintly responded to Ye Fan, roughly confirming Yiji’s location!
“Mr. Chu, do you dare to make a bold move against the Evil Demon Chief of the Three Thousand Worlds?”
Ye Fan teased as he looked at Chu Ran beside him!
Ye Fan truly had a newfound respect for this eldest son of the Chu Family!
Although Chu Ran’s talent couldn’t compare to Ye Fan’s, being able to break through to the Integration Realm in a short period was already quite impressive!
Moreover, the key was his remarkable courage!
In the Sunset Forest, he stood firmly with Ye Fan, and then when returning to Youzhou City, he likewise showed no hesitation!
Ye Fan already had a rough plan in mind!
The time Ye Fan would spend in the Immortal Domain shouldn’t be too long…
But after leaving the Immortal Domain, the vast Qingyuan Sect and so many friends and brothers still needed support from someone!
In Southern State, the Qingyuan Sect’s development and growth to deter one side wouldn’t be a problem… Supporting Chu Ran to rise in Youzhou, and even in Central State, seemed like a good choice!
“Of course! What’s there to be afraid of? At worst, I could just die! Young Master Ye dares to barge in… Why should I be scared of anything?”
Chu Ran responded boldly without hesitation!
“Let’s go!”
…
In Youzhou City, Yiji was leading over a hundred core disciples of the Qin Family, patrolling from the first stronghold at the south gate of Youzhou City!
This is where Yiji believed Ye Fan was most likely to enter Youzhou City!
Because coming from the Sunset Forest, the south gate was the closest entrance, so Yiji arranged the most crucial ambush here!
The family primarily responsible for the ambush and defense here was a vassal family with good relations with the Outer Realm Evil Demon, along with two other sects from the Three Thousand Worlds!
At least over a hundred strong cultivators were stationed here, including more than five Integration Realm experts!
But when Yiji patrolled here, he discovered a situation that made him furious!
Originally expected to have over a hundred strong cultivators stationed, at this moment, there were only about a dozen scattered individuals actually responsible for the ambush… and they were all just in the Void Refinement Realm!
“Damn it! What the hell are you doing? Where are your elders, the vice sect master? Weren’t you supposed to ambush here?”
Yiji released his perception, sensing the surroundings, and confirmed that apart from these people, there were no other strong cultivators at this ambush site!
The strongest one was actually just a Refining Void Third Grade cultivator!
According to the intelligence, Ye Fan’s strength was at least in the Integration Third Grade… Using just a Refining Void Realm cultivator to ambush Ye Fan, isn’t this a joke?
Bloody hell!
Yiji was about to explode with anger!
“Reporting to the boss, our elder said they went out of the city for a while, and they’ll be back shortly!”
“Yes! According to the intelligence, there’s something significant happening over there, and the sect master wants to go confirm it. They’ll report back to you soon!”
“Oh!”
Hearing the response from these stationed individuals, Yiji felt slightly relieved!
These illustrious sects of the Three Thousand Worlds each had their own methods, and in Youzhou City, they might have their own hidden spies!
It’s logical that they might learn news unknown to him!
With a hundred billion people in Youzhou City, even as an Outer Realm Evil Demon, Yiji couldn’t possibly control every corner.
However, he frowned, looking at the situation before him, realizing that Ye Fan could enter Youzhou City at any time. With so few weaklings at this prime ambush site, it was still too lacking!
No way!
After thinking for a few seconds, Yiji decided to give a command, “Qin Family Master, you lead some people and assist them in defense here!”
Yiji glanced at the old master of the Qin Family and the Qin Family Head, along with a few core members, about seven or eight people in total!
These were all beings that were fused with Yiji’s legitimate line of Outer Realm Evil Demons, most of them at the Integration Realm. Even if they couldn’t kill Ye Fan, at least they should give him a lesson!
“Yes!”
However, when the Qin Family Master, Qin Zheng, was about to respond and head for the ambush, Yiji discreetly pulled Qin Zheng aside, “Qin Family Master, don’t be so foolish, rushing into everything! You’re here only as a last resort, mainly to supervise them, understand?”
Yiji certainly wasn’t worried about the Qin Family members getting hurt!
The main worry was that if these Qin Family members were injured, it could implicate the rest of his Outer Realm Evil Demon subordinates!
“Understood!”
After arranging the defense at the first ambush point, Yiji immediately took his subordinates to the next patrol point!
Then…
Almost the same result!
Originally expected to have over a hundred people at the ambush point, there turned out to be only a dozen or so. All the core experts mentioned they needed to temporarily leave for some matters!
Reluctantly, Yiji had to once again assign his mobile members to support the ambush!
One after another…
Within just a few minutes, Yiji had patrolled more than a dozen of the most crucial ambush points with his team. However, due to the lack of personnel at these sites,
Yiji kept sending his subordinates out until, upon reaching the thirteenth stronghold, when Yiji was about to issue instructions again, he suddenly realized… he was left with only three guards!
“Chief… should we go out too? All our brothers have been sent to fill in the gaps!”
Three guards looked helpless!
Although they were just small fry, they also felt that such arrangements were somewhat unreasonable!
Although this was the Immortal Domain, and theoretically, the Chief with Mahayana Realm strength shouldn’t meet much resistance.
But now, they had to face Ye Fan, the heir to the Starry Sky Emperor, who had powerful allies like Tai Cang and the Divine Slave… The Beast King from the Sunset Forest was also with Ye Fan!
If Yiji had no guards around him, what would he do if Ye Fan planned a surprise attack?
Yiji frowned, surveying the scene; this was the entrance to a city gate’s inner pathway, and notably, it had a crucial restrictive formation… capable of preventing unauthorized entry by strong cultivators!
This important spot, if abandoned, would make it too easy for Ye Fan to break into Youzhou City!
“Go! You three hold this checkpoint to the death. As long as you defend it staunchly, I’ll be safe inside Youzhou City, right?”
Yiji, feeling increasingly uneasy, had internally resolved to stay inside the city and wait for Ye Fan to break in!
Whether outside the city or at these checkpoints, Ye Fan’s intrusion would still incur a significant cost, wouldn’t it?
