Chapter 2169 - 2165: Outnumbered and Overpowered

Ye Fan did not kill Mingye Shangren, nor did he imprison her; instead, he simply let her go.

Sang Yuan still had some doubts and said, "Master, letting this woman go might be a threat to you, perhaps you shouldn’t have let her go."

"What I want to do, I don’t need you to guide me!" After Ye Fan finished speaking, he was already above the sky of the Hanzhu Kingdom. For him, that previous battle was just a small matter, hardly affecting him at all.

Ye Fan looked at the distant raging flood, with a strange emotion in his heart, and said, "I don’t even know why, until now the Heavenly Tribulation has yet to occur. This tribulation has been postponed for a long time, and we haven’t investigated the reason yet!"

"It seems that because of Master’s existence, not even the tribulation dares to happen," Sang Yuan replied almost ingratiatingly.

Ye Fan shook his head and said, "Don’t say such things again. You know that’s simply impossible; the power of the Heavenly Tribulation is far too great, not something a couple of people can control. My current mission is to fight against the Heavenly Tribulation. Previously, I didn’t understand why I had to do it, but now I’ve thought it through: if I can completely suppress the power of the tribulation, it means the greatest threat to me will no longer pose a danger."

"I hope Master can successfully resolve the tribulation!" Sang Yuan continued.

Ye Fan said nothing more as he continued to watch the panic and helplessness of the Hanzhu Kingdom’s people. The occurrence of the tribulation had already cost these people their homes, and everyone was worrying for their lives.

"Master, should you meet any old acquaintances?" Sang Yuan asked.

Ye Fan shook his head and said, "No need. Meeting anyone doesn’t seem to awaken my memory. I can only first see if I can find other clues. I have no memories of this place!"

With that, Ye Fan had already decided to leave the skies above the Hanzhu Kingdom. Sang Yuan asked, "Then Master, does it require us to recruit people from elsewhere?"

Ye Fan shook his head and said, "That’s quite difficult. Even if we recruit, we’re unlikely to find many clues. With my current capabilities, accomplishing some things is quite hard. I really have no concept of these matters, so I’ll just let nature take its course. You decide, and the premise is to ensure the safety of Tiancheng, since there are more people there!"

"Yes, Master!" Sang Yuan respectfully saluted, and she immediately left the Hanzhu skies together with Ye Fan.

On Earth, in a hotel in Hua Hai City, Zhao Lina and others were still waiting for the tribulation to occur.

Because the tribulation had not come, the Array had not started operating, Li Zhaojun and Min Shang entered the room next door and hadn’t come out. Zhao Lina, unable with her skills to sense the conversation between Li Zhaojun and Min Shang, seemed somewhat irate: "They gathered us here only to leave us hanging like this, as if nothing concerns us. Is this what she’s supposed to do?"

Qin Mengyao said, "Why trouble yourself with these thoughts? Actually, Sister Zhao Jun is a good person!"

"You little girl, must you speak for her? We really are something, I suppose every woman here should be clear about our relationship. Ye Fan’s mind is just too chaotic. Some words I don’t even want to elaborate on with you. Doesn’t everyone wonder about what has happened to Ye Fan? Why did he leave us on Earth while leaving everything to Li Zhaojun to handle?" Zhao Lina’s tone was still somewhat angry.

Sun Ning said, "Miss Zhao, no matter what arrangements Mr. Ye made before, at least now Ms. Li hasn’t compromised our interests, isn’t that so?"

"Who knows if we’ve been compromised? You’re considered an outsider among Ye Fan’s group, aren’t you? You probably don’t know what Li Zhaojun has done to us before!" Zhao Lina said angrily.

Sun Ning did not argue with Zhao Lina because, just like Zhao Lina said, she was relatively distant in relationship with Ye Fan among these women; Ye Fan took her on not because of affection but because he thought she was a talented individual.

After quite a while, Wu Ding suddenly said, "We’ve diverted all the tribulation’s power into the Pan Gu secret realm, and we don’t know what the situation is now in the secret realm."

"You may return to the secret realm first; we won’t stop you!" Zhao Lina said.

Ping Han said, "Uncle, we better not go back. Whether it’s Alliance Hierarch Ye or Miss Li, they haven’t said that. Staying on Earth is the best explanation for Alliance Hierarch Ye!"

Zhao Lina was very angry and said, "Are you people from Tianxuan Sect? Your disagreements with Ye Fan from the start should be deep. Still, Ye Fan had kept you by his side before; it’s truly baffling. But now, Ye Fan completely doesn’t need you cultivators to assist him. His cultivation has reached a realm so fearsome it can’t be predicted by us humans; yet here you are, still naive, thinking Ye Fan will help you? Ye Fan now just wants to protect himself and the humans on Earth; you from the Pan Gu secret realm, are not even standing on the same side as us Earthlings!"

"Miss Zhao, it’s better not to continue with those words!" Sun Ning couldn’t bear to listen anymore and reminded, "Whatever Mr. Ye is doing now, he certainly doesn’t want us to quarrel among ourselves. Mr. Ye is undoubtedly still making his own efforts regarding the tribulation; otherwise, the two rounds of previous tribulations wouldn’t have been resolved smoothly. What we must do is help Mr. Ye with some matters so that we can realize our own value!"

Zhao Lina sat there, saying nothing more, realizing she was not particularly welcomed here, feeling as though everyone was targeting her.

Just then, Li Zhaojun brought Min Shang out from the inner room. Zhao Lina glanced over and asked dismissively, "What did you talk about? Why not let us hear?"

Li Zhaojun smiled slightly and said, "Just some simple stuff. It won’t affect your interests. We are a collective now, all helping Ye Fan, why divide us?"

"You were the first to divide us, weren’t you? Some matters, you shouldn’t avoid involving us. We also want to know what you said earlier!" Zhao Lina said.

Li Zhaojun said, "It’s just concerning some tribulation matters. Actually, everyone is worried about Ye Fan, not only you but even myself. Ye Fan should still be in the Pan Gu secret realm; knowing he’s safe and sound, isn’t that good news?"

Zhao Lina said, "But that woman earlier also said Ye Fan has now lost his memory. How is that good news, when he doesn’t even remember us? Yet we are still doing some things for him, it’s utterly without value!"
