Chapter 2232 - 2228: Overestimating Immortal

Xi He has always been helping Ye Fan solve problems with ancient cultivators and immortals.

Xi He took a very short time to deal with Emperor Jun, Shun, and several other ancient cultivators who posed a significant threat to Ye Fan, imprisoning them. Then, following Ye Fan’s orders, she went to resolve the issues with the immortals. Although these people might not threaten Ye Fan directly, they could potentially impact the safety of Ye Fan and those around him.

After the celestial tribulations, the immortals suffered heavy casualties and had to retreat to a corner of the immortal realm, hoping to rely on the isolation of the immortal realm and the array they formed to block the harm of the celestial tribulations.

When Xi He appeared before these people, they felt a sense of mournful doom approaching.

"Xi He, you are an ancient cultivator with such esteemed status, do you really want to ignore morality to kill us ordinary people?" said a female immortal named Han Ying, standing in front as if speaking on behalf of all the immortals to Xi He.

Xi He shook her head and said, "You don’t need to say anything to me. What I’m doing now are merely the orders of my master. The fact that the master hasn’t killed you yet is already considered merciful to you!"

"We don’t need Ye Fan’s so-called mercy. Before, he killed Zhang Tian, which was the greatest infringement on us! After Zhang Tian’s death, we’ve been leaderless, and yet he still wants to exterminate us completely!" Han Ying was visibly furious, seemingly denouncing Ye Fan’s actions.

Xi He sneered, "What right do you have to question what the master has done to you? Since you are so stubborn, I will have no choice but to take action, first imprison you all, and how the master chooses to deal with you will depend on whether you can earn his mercy and kindness! Or perhaps, you can go beg the master!"

Having said that, Xi He already had a hint of making a move.

Han Ying arrogantly said, "You may be able to kill us, but to capture us alive, you’re being overconfident. Though you’re an ancient cultivator and your power is great, are you more powerful than the force of the celestial tribulations? Array!"

At Han Ying’s command, all the immortals in the immortal realm, numbering about six to seven hundred, formed an array at once.

These six to seven hundred immortals are almost the only ones left in the immortal realm. They had already suffered heavy losses in the previous celestial tribulations, and even a portion was dealt with by Ye Fan in the fourth round. Despite this, many of the remaining six to seven hundred immortals were wounded, clearly unable to contend with Xi He.

"Very amusing, but I admire your courage!" Xi He extended her hand. At this time, her cultivation level was entirely different from before, thanks to Ye Fan’s assistance. Her elemental power within had seen significant enhancement, and now she could easily handle these immortals in front of her.

However, Han Ying did not believe Xi He could capture them all alive. She directly activated the array to attack Xi He.

Xi He was in no hurry to make a move, as she wanted to see what merit these immortals’ array might have. These people’s cultivation was clearly much higher than that of cultivators in the Pan Gu secret realm. It was possible that some among them had a better understanding of Spiritual Energy, which was a secret Xi He was eager to learn.

But when these people made their move, Xi He was evidently somewhat disappointed, as they didn’t seem to pose any threat to her.

"Is this the extent of your cultivation? Is there no higher cultivation to support your power?" Xi He shook her head, appearing disappointed, because the cultivation of the people before her left nothing to be desired, making her disappointed to the point where she considered them essentially worthless.

Xi He thought to herself, "Perhaps what the master said is right: since Pan Gu started creating the Pan Gu secret realm, it wasn’t meant to create outstanding figures among these cultivators. Even if they reached the level ready to ascend, they barely have the ability to protect themselves before the celestial tribulations, let alone contend with those ancient cultivators. Hmm?"

Finally, Xi He felt something was amiss.

Just when Xi He sensed something was wrong, a sudden force descended from the heavens, seemingly not from these immortals’ attack, but as if a force was targeting her. The source of this force appeared to come from above the immortal realm.

"What’s going on?" Because of a moment’s hesitation, Xi He did not take action against these immortals in front of her. She still wanted to observe a bit more.

But afterward, that force seemed to disappear out of thin air, leaving no trace.

Meanwhile, the immortals thought Xi He was powerless, and a group of them advanced to attack Xi He. The array seemed powerful, capable of altering cosmic order, but their cultivation was laughable to Xi He.

"What was that force just now?" Xi He was a bit hesitant, wondering if she should inform Ye Fan of this discovery.

When she glanced back at the immortals, they attacked her without hesitation, but she, in an instant, used her cultivation to immobilize them.

This was a very bold attempt, requiring no extra action; the immortals couldn’t even see Xi He taking action, yet their cultivation was already restrained.

Xi He walked slowly in front of Han Ying, looking at her sternly, finally shaking her head and saying, "You’ve let me down. I didn’t expect people like you, with cultivation above ascension, to do nothing but seek your own interests here... even ordinary cultivators have more ambition than you!"

Han Ying was visibly embarrassed, but being restrained, she had no ability to refute Xi He.

With just a wave of her hand, Xi He completely imprisoned these people in a special dimension. She was ready to go back and see Ye Fan.

"It’s time to return to the master!" Xi He thought to herself. "There seems to be a strange fluctuation of force in the immortal realm. Only the master knows these things and can respond better. The threats to the master aren’t just limited to Pan Gu and Nuwa’s incarnations, as well as the celestial tribulations, there are also these mysterious forces hidden deeply in the universe. As the celestial tribulations arrive, these forces can’t stay hidden and must come out to stir up trouble!"

Xi He directly brought these people back to the Pan Gu secret realm.

Under her augmented power, even if the immortals couldn’t cross the bounds of the Pan Gu secret realm, the bounds were no longer a threat to these people.

When Xi He arrived at the Hundred Immortals Building, Ye Fan was still inside, seemingly with unfinished tasks.

Xi He wasn’t in a hurry to disturb Ye Fan, simply standing respectfully before the unconscious girl on the top floor, awaiting Ye Fan’s return.
