# Chapter 454: Burning the Vicious Enemies
Ants and dragons have no intersection; dandelion seeds can hardly meet the colorful clouds in the sky. They exist in different worlds, forever unaware of each other.
Back when Ye Fan first set foot on the path of cultivation, cultivators at the Life Spring realm seemed unattainably lofty in his eyes, while those in the Dao Palace Secret Realm were almost never seen. Now, the Wheel Sea and Dao Palace were far behind him; he could already look down on cultivators in the Four Extremes Secret Realm and stand eye-to-eye with experts in the Dragon Transformation Secret Realm.
Different realms, different statuses, different journeys—this is an experience everyone goes through. Standing at different heights, what one encounters naturally differs.
Ye Fan discussed with Pang Bo and the others for a long time, but none of them knew how to handle these thirty-odd little geniuses. Taking them along would be too much trouble to care for, but where could they send them?
The small town was very quiet. Moon trees lined both sides of the streets; every night, their crescent-shaped leaves emitted a soft radiance, accompanied by a faint fragrance in the air, making it a very suitable place to live.
Late at night, a gentle breeze blew, rustling the moon trees and swaying a hazy glow. The fragrance wafted in through the window.
Yet Ye Fan felt a palpitation in his heart. He abruptly sat up from his bed and stood by the window, looking out at the street.
A dark figure walked down the main road. Each step was firm but light, landing without a sound. Yet there was an extremely dangerous aura, as if a primordial savage beast was approaching.
At this moment, Pang Bo and the others also woke up, all rising to investigate.
Silently, over twenty figures appeared around the small town, converging together. Each one exuded killing intent, and now they no longer bothered to conceal it.
"Let's go, leave immediately!"
Ye Fan put the thirty-odd children into the Jade Purification Vase and told Black Emperor to activate the Dark Jade Platform, preparing to cross the void. The incoming people were powerful, their killing intent piercing to the bone; resistance seemed impossible.
"Damn it, something big has gone wrong!" Black Emperor cried out in alarm.
"What happened?" Pang Bo's heart jumped.
"We can't cross the void!" Black Emperor was very anxious, having tried several times without success.
"Why is that?" Tu Fei asked. He knew well the big black dog's mastery of array patterns; it should be almost impossible for anyone to counter him.
"It should be because those people outside are carrying a forbidden artifact, and it was likely refined using the complex techniques from before the Primordial Era, capable of sealing the void." Black Emperor sensed something was wrong.
"It's the Yin Yang Sect." Ye Huiling made this judgment.
"They really are persistent ghosts, actually chasing us down here." Pang Bo frowned.
"We'll break out and avoid that person." Ye Fan pointed at the first dark figure that had appeared on the street, as unfathomable as an abyssal sea.
"Hehe..." Before they could act, a silvery laugh came through the night sky. A woman stepped forward in the moonlight, her figure flowing with radiance. "Don't think you can escape."
"The Holy Maiden of the Yin Yang Sect." Ye Huiling said softly, then she concealed herself in the shadows, changing her aura and blurring her features. She didn't want to be recognized.
"It was this big sister who took Nannan away, but later she hated me..." Little Nannan said somewhat aggrievedly.
"That's because she has no eyes. Even if she cultivated for a hundred lifetimes, she couldn't compare to you." The big black dog spoke very rudely.
Ye Fan smiled and stroked Little Nannan's head. "You're so adorable; everyone likes you, except those bad people." Then he also put Little Nannan into the Jade Purification Vase, not wanting her to be frightened during the upcoming battle.
"Ye Fan, I know you're in there. Come out." The Holy Maiden of the Yin Yang Sect was in her twenties, with a flower-like face and a graceful figure. Her smile was charming, but it also carried a hint of killing intent.
"You came quickly enough." Ye Fan replied coldly. He harbored murderous intent toward this woman.
Back then, he had left a piece of jade on Little Nannan, recording bits and pieces of memories for her to review every morning so she wouldn't forget the past. When the Holy Maiden of the Yin Yang Sect took Little Nannan away, she must have seen the memories in the jade and known the little girl's relationship with him, yet she still abducted her.
"Ye Fan, you destroyed our sect's important site and took away all the children. You've gone too far." The Holy Maiden's smile carried a hint of coldness.
Ye Fan snorted coldly. "You should know why I did that. When you took Little Nannan away, you must have already known her relationship with me."
"Doesn't the world all say you don't have much life left? Taking her from the inn was for her own good, so she wouldn't end up on the streets in the future." The Holy Maiden laughed lightly, completely unconcerned.
If not for the mysterious expert present, Ye Fan would have fought her right then. This woman twisted right and wrong. She had clearly abducted Little Nannan and made her suffer greatly in the Yin Yang Sect, yet she still put on such a face.
"Let's go!"
Ye Fan gave a low shout and took the lead in breaking out. Pang Bo, Ye Huiling, Li Heishui, and the others followed closely, fleeing toward the due west.
"Hehe... It's not that easy to leave!" The Holy Maiden of the Yin Yang Sect laughed lightly. Over twenty figures simultaneously blocked their path. The most terrifying was the dark figure Ye Fan had been wary of, chasing after them with incredible speed.
They wanted to break out and then cross the void, but that person stuck to them like a shadow, impossible to shake off. The forbidden artifact was on him.
The Holy Maiden of the Yin Yang Sect and the others also pursued relentlessly, determined to keep them there, their killing intent surging.
"Let's split up and escape. I'm fast enough to lure away the strongest mysterious person. You all be careful!" Ye Fan said.
"No, I'll go with you. In a critical moment, I can still block him!" Pang Bo disagreed, afraid Ye Fan would be in danger.
"It's fine. I have extreme speed; he won't catch up. You all go quickly!" Ye Fan refused.
In the end, they split up, each choosing a direction to flee. Before parting, Ye Fan whispered a few words to the big black dog and Pang Bo, then charged off without looking back.
As expected, the strongest mysterious person and the Holy Maiden of the Yin Yang Sect both chased after Ye Fan, unwilling to let him go.
"Since the Divine King has spoken, we won't kill you, but we can't let you go either. Imprisoning you and slowly extracting your sacred blood—that's not a bad idea." The Holy Maiden giggled.
"First you bullied Little Nannan, and I haven't settled accounts with you yet. Now you want to scheme against me? You're going too far. But are you sure you've got me?" Ye Fan said coldly.
"Now, everyone in the world knows you've learned the Old Madman's footwork and have the fastest speed. But what use is that? Isn't the Sacred Body's bones supposed to be hard? I'll break them one by one!" The elder-level figure said coldly.
"Elder, don't get angry again. We can't kill him; we still need to slowly extract his blood." The Holy Maiden laughed, then spoke to Ye Fan, deliberately provoking him. "So what if I took Little Nannan? If you hadn't come, I was planning to throw her out. If you want to vent for her, come and kill me."
Ye Fan knew they were deliberately trying to anger him, making him stop.
He sneered inwardly, because at this moment he had already heard Black Emperor's telepathic message. While flying, he twisted and turned, following a specific route to escape.
"Something's wrong, be careful!" The Holy Maiden of the Yin Yang Sect was very cautious, sensing something unusual and warning. She stopped in midair.
But by then, it was too late. A thunderous boom came from ahead. Mist covered the sky, instantly swallowing them all.
Not a single person could escape; they were all trapped inside.
"Haha..." Pang Bo walked out laughing.
The big black dog's mouth was split to its ears, extremely smug. This was their agreement when they split up: if they shook off the strong enemy, they should quickly return to set up array patterns and help Ye Fan resolve the crisis.
"Boom!"
Terrifying energy fluctuations came from within the array patterns. Those people were attacking, trying to break free.
They couldn't be refined in a short time. Perhaps other members of the Yin Yang Sect would arrive soon. This made Ye Fan frown. He really wanted to cut down these people.
"These people are too strong; we can't trap them to death in a short time." Black Emperor shook his head, also helpless.
"It's fine. I'll make a trip and come back to destroy them!"
Ye Fan activated the Dark Jade Platform and began crossing the void. In moments, he arrived at the Fire Domain. Holding the Bodhi Seed, he directly entered the seventh layer. Without the Primordial Qi Cauldron, he had no suitable vessel to carry the terrifying flames.
He directly bore it with his body, holding the Bodhi Seed to bring a massive tide of fire back with him. Carrying such flames, he couldn't cross the void, or the Dark Jade Platform would be reduced to ashes.
Fortunately, the small town wasn't too far away—only a few tens of thousands of miles. Along the way, colorful flames boiled fiercely, burning through the void as he flew south, stunning countless cultivators.
Many people recognized Ye Fan and were very surprised. They chased after him, though not as fast, slowly following to see what he intended to do.
In the end, Ye Fan returned, bringing a vast divine flame to the outskirts of the small town. Even Black Emperor and Pang Bo were shocked.
"I'll send you on your way!"
Ye Fan let out a great shout and poured all the divine fire into that sealed-off space.
"Boom!"
Flames soared into the sky. Terrifying screams rang out. This kind of flame was impossible to resist. Even Supreme Elder-level figures could barely endure it, let alone them.
In the distance, everyone was stunned. Ye Fan was using a single great fire to burn all his strong enemies to death—very "decisive" indeed!
"Ah..."
Because the fire also destroyed the array patterns, three elder-level figures, covered in flames, screamed as they charged out. Their bodies were nearly deformed by the burning, utterly tragic. It was clear they wouldn't survive.
On the other side, the Holy Maiden of the Yin Yang Sect also rushed out. Her entire body radiated auspicious colors, and she hadn't died, clearly carrying a secret treasure on her.
"You didn't die? Good. I'll cut you down myself!" Ye Fan immediately closed in on her.
Pang Bo and Black Emperor also stepped forward, preventing her from escaping.
"You're so ruthless..." The Holy Maiden's face was pale. Seven or eight great experts had all died horribly, sending a chill through her heart.
"It's you who repeatedly came to bully me. Now it's your turn!" Ye Fan stepped forward.
