# Chapter 169: Stowaway Chapter 170: Burning the Supreme Elder
Outside the Fire Domain, over a hundred knights guarded Ji Ziyue. Ye Fan figured that with such careful scheming, Hua Yunfei would certainly not act rashly and leave any openings.
Ji Ziyue stood quietly before the lonely grave, like a celestial maiden who had mistakenly fallen into the mortal world, like thin clouds veiling the bright moon, like a gentle breeze brushing jade flowers, gathering all grace and beauty in one form.
A light wind blew past, and within the first layer of the Fire Domain, crimson flames blazed.
At this moment, the golden little lake at Ye Fan's brow was deep as an abyss. His divine sense took form, condensing into a fine thread as he said, "The hemp-clothed man who once pursued you takes orders from Hua Yunfei."
Having transmitted his words through divine sense, Ye Fan charged deep into the Fire Domain. He believed that if Ji Ziyue remained vigilant, the other party would find it difficult to seize any opportunity.
He went straight to the seventh layer of the Fire Domain, sacrificed his cauldron, and began collecting the five-colored cloud flames. Terrifying fire energy flowed like streams and rivers, constantly pouring into the cauldron.
About to leave, he wanted to prepare some life-saving measures. He wasn't refining the cauldron, merely storing the flames within it. Even when taken back into his Wheel Sea, it would not harm him.
Finally, the five-colored cloud flames completely filled the cauldron, leaving not a single space unused. The Primordial Mother Qi sealed the cauldron, and Ye Fan took it into his body.
After moving far from the Fire Domain, Ye Fan took a deep look back, then charged northward.
Several days later, Ye Fan learned a piece of news that filled him with joy.
Nowadays, the Northern Domain was constantly stirred up by troubles, all stemming from "Source." Many cultivators from the Southern Domain wanted to try their luck there.
The Yaoguang Holy Land and the Ji Family had already dispatched experts in batches half a year ago, heading to the Northern Domain. They stood firm in the world, unfathomably deep. With their Domain Gates open, they could directly cross over to the Northern Domain.
But for scattered cultivators, things were much more troublesome. To reach the Northern Domain, they would have to fly for at least several years. For this reason, most had to think of other methods, such as paying a considerable price to borrow a path to the Northern Domain.
Half a month later, Ye Fan arrived at the Xiaoyao Sect. Legend had it that this place was formed by the convergence of two Dragon Veins. Peaks stood tall like dragon bones, stretching in an unbroken chain, with many strange trees and exotic plants—majestic yet graceful.
In this region, it was a superpower second only to the Holy Lands, on par with the Grand Mystery Sect. Now entering its golden age, the sect was filled with experts like clouds.
Ye Fan came here to "stow away." According to what he had learned, as long as he paid a considerable price, he could borrow their Domain Gate to cross the void.
Outside the mountain gate, over a thousand people were waiting.
"Brother, you're so young, and you also want to try your luck in the Northern Domain?" a man with a full beard asked.
"Yes, I want to take a gamble," Ye Fan replied.
"The journey is long, and the Northern Domain is dangerous. At such a young age, it's best not to take risks," an old man as withered as dry wood advised.
The thousand-plus people included both men and women, their cultivation levels hard to determine, uneven and mixed.
The mountain gate swung open, and several cultivators walked out. Leading them was a middle-aged man with a sallow complexion and a drifting gait.
"I say, everyone, you're quite lucky. This might be the last time. Because after the Sect Master emerged from seclusion and learned of all this, he was very displeased."
The crowd immediately buzzed with discussion, many feeling fortunate.
The people stepped forward one by one. Without needing the sallow-faced man to say much, they each presented treasures. To cross the void, paying a huge price was unavoidable.
"A Life Spring cultivator's weapon? You dare offer this?" The sallow-faced man glanced contemptuously and directly rejected the first cultivator.
"Please, Senior, make an exception," the cultivator begged repeatedly. "This is a weapon I've refined for over ten years. It's the most precious item I have."
"Even if you'd refined it for a hundred years, it would be useless. Don't mention you—even weapons forged by cultivators at the Other Shore realm, if they're ordinary items, we won't accept them." The sallow-faced man showed disdain.
This cultivator was extremely unwilling but dared not say more. He retreated dejectedly.
The second cultivator presented a bronze mirror, ancient in appearance but with some flaws—three cracks on its surface.
"We don't accept such defective goods!"
"This is a weapon refined by a peak Dao Palace cultivator, extremely powerful," the cultivator explained carefully.
"No matter how good a weapon, if it has fatal cracks, it's already scrap. What use is it? Even if nurtured for a hundred years, it can't be restored." The sallow-faced man showed impatience, waving his hand to dismiss him.
"A Red Moon Fruit!" The third cultivator stepped forward, presenting a jade box. When opened, it revealed a bright red fruit shaped like a crescent moon, lustrous and fragrant.
Greed flickered in the sallow-faced man's eyes. He snapped the jade box shut and said, "A rare spiritual fruit. You may pass."
"A piece of Purple Shine Copper Essence!"
After several people failed to pass, the ninth man presented a piece of purple copper that sparkled faintly.
"Truly Purple Shine Copper Essence. Cultivators at the third secret realm, the renowned elders, most need such refining materials. You may pass." The sallow-faced man's eyes burned with desire. Reluctantly, he handed the copper essence to his attendant and let the cultivator through.
To borrow the path here, one had to pay an enormous price. More than half of the people had their offered treasures and spiritual medicines rejected.
"And we can't even reach the Northern Domain directly, yet they demand such an exorbitant price!" Those who couldn't pass complained bitterly on the sidelines.
Except for the Holy Lands, no sect could directly cross to the Northern Domain. Even so, many scattered cultivators still came here to borrow the path.
When it was Ye Fan's turn, he pulled out a piece of divine iron as white as mutton-fat jade, no bigger than a dragon's eye. The sallow-faced man was so startled he jumped, his eyes filled with greed. His voice trembling, he said, "This... could it be... the legendary divine iron?"
The small piece of iron, pure white like jade, drew many gazes. The sallow-faced man held it in his hands, examining it repeatedly. Finally, he sighed. "Pity, it's been ruined in refining. The divine essence has dissipated. What a waste of heaven's gifts!"
"Senior, is this piece valuable enough?" Ye Fan asked.
This was the divine iron that the Crow Daoist had ruined in refining. Although Ye Fan hadn't entered the eighth layer of the Fire Domain, he had sacrificed his cauldron and, with tremendous effort, retrieved those white iron pieces.
After careful observation, he concluded it was indeed ruined. The essence within was nearly exhausted, no longer a peerless treasure.
"Do you have any more divine iron like this?" the sallow-faced man asked Ye Fan.
Ye Fan shook his head. "How could I possibly possess such divine iron? I found this by chance in an ancient cave."
The sallow-faced man deeply regretted it. His sallow face shifting between emotions, he said, "Though ruined, it's still a rare item. If renowned elders add it when refining artifacts, it can improve quality. I'll count you as passed."
Half an hour later, it was all over. Of the thousand-plus scattered cultivators, only four hundred remained, each having paid an exorbitant price.
"Come back in three days. If you're late, don't bother." The sallow-faced man had them leave their marks and then turned to walk toward the mountain gate.
Crossing the void was no easy task. The Dao patterns had to be carefully inscribed without the slightest flaw, or accidents could easily occur. With so many scattered cultivators borrowing the path, the Xiaoyao Sect dared not be careless, spending several days preparing each time.
"Brother Huang, it's been a while." Several figures descended from the sky.
The sallow-faced man was surnamed Huang, which suited his complexion well. Hearing this, he turned and smiled. "So it's the outstanding talents of the Ji Family. Come to inspect again?"
"We're no outstanding talents, just errand runners." One of the young men stepped forward. "We're following orders. We have no choice."
The sallow-faced man was all smiles, very polite. "Everyone crossing the void this time is here. There are absolutely no great demons. If you don't believe me, see for yourselves."
For the past few months, the Ji Family had swept through the Southern Domain, their fury blazing. Unable to catch the Peacock King and the Crow Daoist, they had already slain dozens of great demons.
"Brother Huang, don't misunderstand. We're just taking a casual look." Even the Ji Family didn't want to offend a major power like the Xiaoyao Sect.
The Ji Family's young men scanned the hundreds of people, detected no demonic aura, bowed, and left.
Ye Fan had already prepared for battle, but he breathed a sigh of relief.
Afterward, the crowd dispersed. Ye Fan didn't walk quickly, avoiding meeting the Ji Family members.
"Young friend, wait." Just over ten li away, a voice transmission came from behind. The sallow-faced man, wearing a fake smile, caught up.
"Senior, is something the matter?" Ye Fan asked calmly.
"Young friend, do you really have no more of that mutton-fat jade-like iron?" The sallow-faced man stared at him.
"I only found one piece in an ancient cave."
"That makes sense. With your cultivation, you couldn't possibly obtain such a rare treasure." The sallow-faced man nodded. "Take me to see that ancient cave."
Ye Fan frowned. "That ancient cave is too far. Even flying for several days wouldn't reach it. I'm afraid I can't comply."
The sallow-faced man's face darkened. "I'm just asking you to guide me. Don't you want to go to the Northern Domain?"
This was a true petty man, threatening without any pretense.
"We're crossing the void in three days. If I take you, Senior, I'll definitely miss the opportunity," Ye Fan replied calmly.
"If you take me, there will be another chance."
Ye Fan sneered inwardly. This was clearly the last chance, and this fellow was utterly shameless.
Seeing Ye Fan silent, the sallow-faced man's face grew gloomy. "That divine iron is very important to me. You must take me today."
"I really can't manage both," Ye Fan refused.
"Refusing a toast only to be forced to drink a penalty!" The sallow-faced man said coldly, "Don't force my hand."
Ye Fan had been concealing his divine power fluctuations, only revealing himself to be at the Life Spring realm. He sensed the other was at the peak of the Other Shore realm. He nodded. "Fine, I'll lead the way." With that, he flew forward directly.
The sallow-faced man retracted his murderous intent, nodded in satisfaction, and put on a fake smile. "That's right. I won't treat you badly."
Seeing no one around, Ye Fan flew another few dozen li, then stopped in midair.
"Why have you stopped?" The sallow-faced man's expression turned hostile, killing intent reappearing.
"Sending you on your way!" Ye Fan replied.
The remnant form of the Void Great Hand Seal appeared. A black great hand blotted out the void, descending from the sky.
"Slap!"
The sallow-faced man was directly crushed in midair, not even managing a groan. For such a petty man, Ye Fan didn't want to waste time—a single slap was enough to kill him.
In the distant sky, several people changed color simultaneously. They were the Ji Family's young disciples who had left not long ago. They immediately cried out in alarm.
"The fluctuation of the Void Great Hand Seal!"
"No, it's not the authentic Void Great Hand Seal. The force is chaotic!"
Three days later, Ye Fan returned to the Xiaoyao Sect and entered this major sect along with the hundreds of others.
Two Dragon Veins converged here. Strange peaks stood side by side, majestic in momentum yet not lacking in spiritual grace.
The hundreds were led into a valley. The terrain was open, and a huge altar stood there—the site for opening the Domain Gate.
"Everyone, we wish you a smooth journey!" A Xiaoyao Sect elder announced loudly.
The hundreds ascended the high platform one after another. The Domain Gate was about to open for the void crossing.
Ye Fan let out a long breath. He was finally leaving the Southern Domain, completely shaking off all his troubles.
"Hold!" At that moment, a loud shout came from outside the Xiaoyao Sect. Several dozen figures flew over rapidly.
The Domain Gate hadn't opened yet, and those figures arrived in the blink of an eye.
The several dozen were mostly elderly, each vigorous and spirited, exuding a heart-stopping aura. Their life force was as vast as an ocean—definitely not ordinary experts.
Beside them, several Xiaoyao Sect elders accompanied them, flying together to this place.
"Forgive us, everyone." These people were quite polite, not at all overbearing. They clasped their fists to all, especially repeatedly apologizing to the Xiaoyao Sect elders.
Ye Fan's face instantly turned green. The Ji Family had arrived—over twenty elderly figures. Among them, he even saw a familiar face—Ji Hui.
But what made Ye Fan's heart pound most was the old man at the center. He was as empty as an abyss, as deep as the sea, unfathomable.
"Could this be a major figure?" Ye Fan felt something was terribly wrong.
"Are you Senior Ji Changkong?" A Xiaoyao Sect renowned elder stepped forward, looking at the old man at the center of the Ji Family group with a puzzled expression.
"That is indeed this old man."
The Xiaoyao Sect people showed surprise. One of them said, "I've heard that Senior Ji Changkong retired decades ago. I never thought you would emerge again and grace our Xiaoyao Sect. I'll go inform the Sect Master."
"No need for that. We'll leave immediately." The old man at the center apologized again and explained.
The Ji Family had discovered traces of the Crow Daoist. Not only had the Ji Family Saint Lord personally set out, but they had also dispatched six Supreme Elders, wanting to exterminate the old Daoist.
Ji Changkong was one of those Supreme Elders. Passing by this place, they received a report that an unknown cultivator had used the remnant form of the Void Great Hand Seal here.
This gave the Ji Family a bad feeling. They had been suspecting that Ye Fan might have passed on the Grand Void Art and other techniques to the Peacock King and other demon cultivators.
Learning this news, they stopped midway to investigate. Coinciding with the Xiaoyao Sect opening its Domain Gate, they immediately connected many dots and rushed over.
"We'll just take a look and leave immediately." The Ji Family's Supreme Elder, his divine eyes like lightning, personally scanned the crowd.
Ye Fan groaned inwardly. How could he escape within the Xiaoyao Sect? There were restrictions everywhere, and the Ji Family blocked the mountain gate direction. His heart sank completely.
The old woman Ji Hui scanned the cultivators. When she saw Ye Fan, she immediately cried out in shock. "You... how is this possible?!"
"You damned old hag, your eyes are too sharp." Ye Fan had no choice but to step out boldly. There was no escape now, trapped within the Xiaoyao Sect.
"You... are still alive?" Ji Hui's face was full of disbelief. She could hardly believe it.
"You old widow aren't dead yet, so how could I possibly fall!" Ye Fan was truly unwilling. He had weathered one great calamity after another, avoided countless dangers, only to face a great tragedy at the very moment of departure.
"Damn it, I've made it through ninety-nine bows, and I stumble on the last one. How did I run into you people?!" Ye Fan silently cursed the heavens.
"It's him! That little thief!"
"Incredible! Falling into the sixth layer of the Fire Domain didn't burn him to death, and he's come out bouncing again."
The Ji Family's renowned elders were all astonished. They never thought they would see Ye Fan again. A youth they had believed turned to ashes now stood alive before their eyes.
"You little beast, how did you survive?" Ji Hui's murderous intent was naked, her eyes cold.
"You shameless old thing, call me Young Master and I might tell you." At this point, Ye Fan had nothing to fear.
Everyone around now knew Ye Fan's identity and showed strange expressions.
Over half a year ago, the name Ye Fan had spread throughout this region. He had shouted for the Ji Family's renowned elders to get lost, becoming the public enemy of the Ji Family's younger generation. They had hunted him across the world but ultimately failed to kill him, only chasing him into the Fire Domain.
Now, over half a year later, he had bounced back alive, which was a slap in the face to the Ji Family.
Failing to catch the Peacock King was one thing, but even a youth like him hadn't been killed and had surfaced again—how could the Ji Family save face?
Everyone was in an uproar, some dumbfounded.
"Rustle!"
The hundreds of cultivators on the altar all retreated, leaving only Ye Fan standing there. There was no way to cross the void now.
The Xiaoyao Sect people exchanged glances, unsure what to do. Someone hurried off to report to the Sect Master and Supreme Elders.
The Ji Family's faces all darkened.
"You little beast, your life is truly tenacious. Even the Fire Domain couldn't claim you." Ji Hui advanced, while others surrounded the area, making it impossible for him to escape.
"You ungrateful, snobbish old thing!" Ye Fan pondered. He wouldn't give up until the very last moment.
"No wonder Ziyue hasn't been sulking lately. She must have known you weren't dead..." Ji Hui's face grew even uglier.
"Do you want to know why I didn't die?" Ye Fan scanned the crowd.
Everyone looked at him, even the Ji Family's Supreme Elder. He had only become a Supreme Elder thirty years ago, and even he had to be extremely careful entering the sixth layer of the Fire Domain.
"I was saved from the Fire Domain by a Great Power who once received guidance from my big brother, the Old Madman." Ye Fan brazenly lied without a trace of shame.
Many knew he had cultivated the Old Madman's footwork, and the Ji Family naturally understood he was trying to use the Old Madman to save his life.
"You little beast, mentioning anyone is useless!" Ji Hui's face was cold. "A completely mad old man, even if he were an immortal, what can he do? Today, I'll cut you into a thousand pieces."
"Everyone, you heard that. She's insulting the only surviving mad old man of the Tianxuan Holy Land..." Ye Fan announced loudly.
The Ji Family's Supreme Elder seemed cautious. He glanced at Ji Hui. "Don't speak recklessly!"
"He's already mad. What can he do to us? Today, I'll kill this little beast, search his soul, and find that footwork. The Ji Family will gain another supreme secret art." Ji Hui muttered to herself in a barely audible voice.
Ye Fan was very close to her. Others couldn't hear, but he caught every word. "Not only are you ungrateful, but you also want to steal my secret art. You shameless old widow!"
"You little beast!" Ji Hui's face turned ashen. She slapped at him.
Ye Fan didn't sacrifice his cauldron. Exposing it too early would leave him with no hope.
"Swish!"
No matter how fast his speed, he couldn't dodge the sky-covering hand that blotted out the heavens. There was no escape.
"Bang!"
The hand came down, sending him flying. If his cultivation hadn't improved greatly recently and his physical body weren't terrifyingly strong, he would have been crushed by that slap.
"You little beast, I won't kill you. I still need the Old Madman's supreme footwork. I'll make you wish you were dead!" Ji Hui's face was sinister, her voice extremely faint. Except for the Ji Family members, other cultivators could barely hear.
"Bang!"
Ji Hui struck again. Her hand covered the sky and slammed down heavily.
Ye Fan still endured. He didn't sacrifice his cauldron, dodging passively.
"You little beast, I'll deal with you properly..." Ji Hui sneered darkly. "Run again, why don't you?"
"Don't damage his physical body." At that moment, the Ji Family's Supreme Elder Ji Changkong stopped Ji Hui. "Haoyue once told me this child's physique is extremely special. Don't destroy it. Let me examine him closely."
"Swish!"
Ji Changkong was like a great mountain, like an abyss—profound and unfathomable. He reached out and snatched Ye Fan over as easily as picking a flower or leaf.
Ye Fan's heart tightened. He didn't act rashly, still waiting.
Ji Changkong didn't bind Ye Fan. As powerful as he was, facing a cultivator at the Other Shore realm was like looking down at an ant. There was no need for concern.
He directly probed toward Ye Fan's Sea of Suffering. The moment he touched it, his expression changed. "How is this possible?!"
Everyone around—the Ji Family members, the Xiaoyao Sect's renowned elders, and the cultivators preparing to cross the void—all showed shock, looking at him and Ye Fan.
What kind of physique could make a Ji Family Supreme Elder lose his composure like this? Everyone's heart trembled, desperate to know.
"This little beast is truly an anomaly!" Ji Changkong was extremely shocked, his face full of astonishment. "If this monster had appeared in the ancient times before the desolate era, our Ji Family might have had big trouble. But now... he can't amount to anything."
"What physique is he?" A Ji Family renowned elder asked.
"He has the Primordial Saint Body recorded in ancient texts. In the endless ages past, this physique was unmatched in the world, with no equal under heaven. Even the Desolate Tower had to suppress it for several years before it could be killed." Ji Changkong sighed repeatedly. "I never thought this monster would have such a physique. Truly astonishing."
"This..."
Everyone was shocked. They never expected Ye Fan to have such a physique. But soon, they relaxed. The Saint Body was a thing of the past, now just a synonym for a waste physique. The Eastern Wasteland Divine Body had already risen.
"This monster truly exceeds my expectations." The Ji Family Supreme Elder showed a strange expression. "To reach the Other Shore realm is no small feat. Take out his Source and bring it back. It should help Haoyue's Divine Body reach a higher level."
Ji Changkong's repeated use of "monster" made Ye Fan inwardly furious. He wanted to slap that old face.
Everyone around changed color, but the Ji Family members were overjoyed.
"This monster's physical body is so powerful. Truly surprising." After probing Ye Fan's physique, Ji Changkong's face showed continuous astonishment. "This monster's Wheel Sea seems to contain a rare treasure. Let me see what it is!"
Ye Fan sneered inwardly. He didn't move, letting this old fossil work his magic.
Ji Changkong spread his five fingers like dragon claws. Brilliant light burst forth, releasing a strange, irresistible force!
Ye Fan didn't resist. Instead, he cooperated fully, sacrificing his cauldron.
Silently, the small cauldron appeared in the void. Ji Changkong grabbed it in one hand and immediately cried out in shock, even more astonished than before.
Inside the cauldron, mist swirled, and Mysterious Yellow energy flowed, sealing the cauldron's mouth.
"Primordial Mother Qi? No, it's the Primordial Mother Qi Root!" As powerful as he was, his mind was shaken. This legendary sacred treasure, which had only appeared in mythological ancient histories, excited him beyond measure.
"I never thought this little monster would obtain a sacred treasure. Haha..." Ji Changkong couldn't control himself, laughing uproariously.
The people around were deeply shocked, all staring at the cauldron.
The Ji Family's many renowned elders even crowded forward to examine it together, all wanting to touch it themselves.
Ji Changkong wanted to examine the cauldron closely. He tried to make the Primordial Mother Qi flow, not block the cauldron's mouth.
At that moment, Ye Fan moved. He directly activated the cauldron, unsealing the Mother Qi seal at its mouth.
"Boom!"
At that instant, a sound like a tsunami erupted. Blinding light flooded the scene!
A scorching temperature made even the distant cultivators' souls tremble. They all retreated in panic.
Even so, some cultivators turned to ash.
At the center of the scene, everything was brilliant. Five-colored light shot into the sky, as if opening the gates to the Immortal Domain. Five-colored cloud mist surged, enveloping that area.
This was an unimaginably terrifying energy. The five-colored light became the only thing in heaven and earth, burning fiercely!
Ye Fan had collected who knows how much fire energy in the seventh layer of the Fire Domain. The cauldron could expand and contract, holding a vast area of stone forest. It was completely filled with five-colored cloud flames, not wasting a single space.
Now, he released all the flames at once. It was a catastrophic disaster!
This was terrifying fire energy that could even burn major figures to death!
"Ah..."
The Ji Family Supreme Elder Ji Changkong screamed in agony. He became a human torch, soaring into the sky, struggling constantly.
A dozen Ji Family renowned elders turned directly to ash on the spot, unable to struggle even once!
"I'm going to play big!" Ye Fan's eyes blazed with divine radiance. He grabbed the Jade Purification Vase and poured divine spring into his mouth, frantically activating the cauldron. Carrying endless flames, he struck at Ji Changkong.
"Bang!"
The Ji Family major figure could block the cauldron's assault but couldn't block these flames. The five-colored cloud flames were gathered by the cauldron, all concentrated on him, completely engulfing him.
He had only become a Ji Family Supreme Elder thirty years ago—arguably the weakest major figure in the Ji Family.
The purple flames of the sixth layer of the Fire Domain could already pose a life-and-death threat to major figures. Ye Fan had personally seen human-shaped ashes there. The flames of the seventh layer were even more lethal!
Pity Ji Changkong. Once enveloped by the five-colored cloud flames, even someone as powerful as him let out heart-rending screams. He couldn't extinguish them. His divine power was completely ignited. His whole body was aflame. Every inch of his skin was charred. His bones were burned through. His divine soul was also extinguishing.
"Ah..." He wailed miserably. "This is the legendary Five Elements True Fire!"
Hearing that name, the distant cultivators shuddered violently. The terror of the Five Elements True Fire was unimaginable. As long as one was within the Five Elements, they would be burned to ashes. It couldn't be extinguished. There was no way to resist!
"Ah..." Ji Changkong turned into a piece of charcoal, falling to the ground, rolling continuously.
As for the other Ji Family renowned elders, most turned to ash. Only a few who were farther away escaped disaster.
A few more had half their bodies burned off. The Five Elements True Fire couldn't be extinguished. To survive, they gritted their teeth and severed half their bodies, rolling in the distance.
Everyone was horrified. This was too terrifying!
They were also shocked. Ye Fan, a mere youth whose cultivation wasn't that fearsome, was about to burn a Ji Family Supreme Elder to death. This would absolutely shake the Southern Domain!
Ye Fan shouted loudly. "First the Peacock King, then the Crow Daoist, they killed your Ji Family's major figures. Today, I'm joining in!"
He drank large mouthfuls of divine spring, constantly activating the cauldron. All the flames were concentrated on Ji Changkong.
Not far away, Ji Hui's lower body was completely charred. She gritted her teeth and severed it. Her divine power was nearly burned dry, but she had saved her life.
"You damned old hag, today is your day!" Ye Fan was about to advance.
The other Ji Family renowned elders who had escaped quickly acted, pulling Ji Hui to a distant place.
At the same time, a shout came from the distant sky: "Who is causing trouble in my Xiaoyao Sect?!"
The Xiaoyao Sect's Sect Master and Supreme Elders had been alerted.
Ye Fan looked at Ji Changkong. Seeing him turn to charcoal, his divine soul about to extinguish, he knew that even if an immortal descended, they couldn't save this major figure.
He stepped on the supreme footwork, arriving at the altar in an instant. He placed a large amount of Source into the altar's mechanism. The Dao patterns were already inscribed. As long as Source provided energy, it could be activated.
Ye Fan leaped up, standing on the altar.
Vast energy fluctuations erupted. Divine light shot into the sky. The Domain Gate opened. Space was torn apart!
Ye Fan charged directly inside, beginning the void crossing!
When the Xiaoyao Sect's Sect Master arrived and saw all this, his head buzzed. This was a huge incident!
He felt a headache coming on. Over a dozen Ji Family renowned elders had been burned to ashes. A major figure had been burned to charcoal. This would absolutely shock the Southern Domain.
The Ji Family would surely go mad. In less than a year, three Supreme Elders had died in succession. The Southern Domain would be swept by towering waves!
"Quick! Destroy the altar! Don't let him escape!" Someone shouted.
Immediately, beams of light shot toward the altar. With a thunderous roar, the altar shattered, turning to dust in the air.
The void was crushed, but no one fell out.
"Some time has passed. He's probably tens of thousands of li away by now."
"The void is shattered. With his cultivation, he'll likely turn to powder."
Ye Fan had prepared for this. The moment he entered the void, he had already gotten inside his cauldron. He had anticipated this happening.
So when the void shattered, he was safe inside the cauldron forged from the Primordial Mother Qi Root.
"This despicable little beast!"
"Ah..."
The surviving Ji Family renowned elders all roared at the sky.
This matter would surely shake the Southern Domain and spread throughout the world.
Without a doubt, a storm was about to break!
