Chapter 2223 - 2219: The Maiden’s Plot

After Xi He left the Pan Gu secret realm, the first thing she did was not follow Ye Fan’s instructions to find those ancient cultivators to defeat and imprison them but to first find Xuan Nu.

This did not mean that she was not following Ye Fan’s orders.

When she found Xuan Nu, Xuan Nu was staring at something around an area that seemed like a fragmented star domain. When Xi He arrived, Xuan Nu didn’t feel much surprise.

"Why are you here? Are you here to see me make a fool of myself?" Xuan Nu sized up Xi He and asked.

Xi He said: "Why would I see you make a fool of yourself? I don’t even know what you’re doing here. The master just gave instructions to find those ancient cultivators and imprison them one by one, to eliminate the threat they pose to those around him and to Earth. I’m here to inform you, so you can choose to listen or not."

"What if I say no? It doesn’t have any significance, right? You’ll still forcefully take me away?" Xuan Nu said angrily.

"Xuan Nu, I hope you understand, no one intends to make things difficult for you. What the master is doing is merely to protect the people around him, which does not conflict with our interests. If you do not adhere to the master’s actions, you’re only making things difficult for yourself!" Xi He reminded.

Xuan Nu coldly said: "Some things I don’t need your reminder. I know very well what I’m doing. No matter what Ye Fan does, he can’t change the fact that he’s forcing changes. What I’m choosing now is only what’s most beneficial to me!"

"Let’s go! Come with me to imprison those people. It’s not a bad thing for you. If you don’t want to go, I won’t force you... but you’ll have to bear the blame from the master!"

Xi He said she wouldn’t force Xuan Nu, but Xuan Nu knew she had no reason to refuse. She could only go with Xi He to find those ancient cultivators, which was actually the last thing she wanted to choose.

Before leaving, Xi He still asked: "What exactly is this place, why did you come here? From here, I can’t feel any special presence."

"My matters have nothing to do with you. Why bother asking? I have no obligation to explain!" Xuan Nu said.

Xi He smiled bitterly. She initially intended to show concern, but now Xuan Nu was clearly wary of her, making her feel uncomfortable. She shook her head and said: "Think whatever you want. At least I have no intention of troubling or offending you. If you don’t want to say, then never mind. The ones we need to deal with first are Emperor Jun and Shun. Do you have any idea where they are now?"

"If you can find me, can’t you find those people?" Xuan Nu, still annoyed, said in an unpleasant tone, "Finding those people isn’t difficult for you. I’ll just follow you, but if we can’t find them, don’t blame it on me!"

Xi He ultimately shook her head in resignation, as if she couldn’t handle Xuan Nu’s temperament, making her feel quite helpless. In the end, with a sense of regret, she set off with Xuan Nu on the journey to find those ancient cultivators.

...

...

As Xi He and Xuan Nu left that strange star domain, a hidden figure was continuously observing everything.

After confirming that Xuan Nu and Xi He would not return, the figure finally moved into the distance.

When the figure reached a place, she finally showed her appearance; it was Jiuyou Su Girl, who had signed a blood oath with Ye Fan but had always been missing.

At this moment, Su Girl seemed to be completely controlled by someone. She arrived at a planet, and on the planet, there was something like a soul body, which was absorbing some strange force.

"Have you found any clues?" The voice of the soul body was very shrill, like the wailing of a vengeful ghost.

Jiuyou Su Girl replied without any emotion: "Now Ye Fan has sent Xi He with Xuan Nu to kill the ancient cultivators. This is the clue I have detected!"

"Wrong, Ye Fan won’t kill those ancient cultivators. Given Ye Fan’s character, at most, he will imprison them! Cough, cough!" That person coughed, the voice becoming even more eerie, making one feel frightened, but for Su Girl, the voice before her did not stir any emotion within her, "If you continue to follow Xuan Nu and them, your whereabouts will definitely be exposed. Previously, Xuan Nu should have tracked you down. Fortunately, with Xi He’s arrival, her search had to be postponed. You should know, the person most likely to affect you in this world is not Ye Fan, but Xuan Nu."

"I know." Su Girl’s reply was very cold.

That voice said: "I will continue to cultivate, and what you need to do now is infiltrate Earth. I believe those ancient cultivators will definitely use Earth to threaten Ye Fan to gain their own benefits. What you need to do now is create conflict between them and Ye Fan!"

"Okay." Su Girl nodded again.

"Go, I don’t want to say too much to you, it doesn’t mean anything. Cough, cough, I am already at the end of my life, but before I die, I must kill Ye Fan. This is the last thing I want to do on this earth!" that voice said.

Su Girl asked: "Then can you tell me, who exactly are you?"

"Why should I reveal my identity to you? Little Su Girl, don’t think you can have others’ protection in everything you do. Now I am the one helping you. If you don’t recognize the situation, I will let you die... I have given you a soul again, it doesn’t mean you can question my identity!" that voice said.

Su Girl’s expression was very calm, then she seemed like a woman without any thought, instantly leaving the planet.

After Su Girl left, that black soul body continued to absorb energy, seemingly making a very eerie sound with its mouth: "Ye Fan, you turned me into this, so I must let you know the consequences of offending me!"

...

...

In the Hundred Immortals Building of the Pan Gu secret realm, Ye Fan met Lan Jing on the top floor.

Lan Jing looked at Ye Fan, with a hint of grievance in her tone, "Ye Fan, where have you been? Why couldn’t I find you no matter how much I looked?"

"You don’t need to find me." Ye Fan said, "What I’m doing now seems to be somewhat conflicting with you. You want to save the calamity, but my mission is no longer simply to save the calamity."

"This... what do you mean?" Lan Jing seemed a bit unable to understand.

Sang Yuan chuckled and said, "Miss Lan Jing, the young master wants to remind you that you can continue to do your things, but don’t interfere with the young master’s affairs. It’s best not to ask more questions, it doesn’t mean anything to you!"
