# Chapter 544: Cell Phone, Killing Trap
A familiar beautiful face appeared on the screen, her weak voice sounding very helpless. As the recorded sound played, he opened his own phone and browsed through old memories, wanting to confirm whether any other old acquaintances might be caught up in this.
Ye Fan watched silently for a long time, then continued scrolling through Liu Yiyi's phone and discovered another recording.
"I just want to kill her—what can you do about it?!"
A very sinister voice came through, evoking disgust from the depths of one's heart, with the arrogance of a petty man who had achieved his ambitions, and a cold, merciless bloody edge.
"I'll give you one month to find this extinct volcano, then immediately crawl over here and kneel before me begging. Otherwise, I will slice her apart piece by piece!"
The icy voice was like a chilling wind blowing, filled with venom and resentment. The gnashing of teeth sounded like chewing on human bones, saturated with hatred.
*Slap*
Ye Fan closed the phone lid, staring at the nearby crystal-clear lake as smooth as jade. Mist swirled, and several fairy maidens glided across the water, beautiful and otherworldly.
"One month—making me rush around. Does the person in the shadows want to kill me in one strike? Or are they confident enough to torment me mentally..."
Only great enmity would produce such venom. Thinking carefully, there were indeed a few people, but it was hard to determine exactly who it was.
Ye Fan pondered quietly for a moment, then opened Liu Yiyi's phone again and tapped out another recording. The venomous voice played back.
"Kneel piously before me and wait quietly for you to come beg me. Otherwise, I will wipe out every single one of your old acquaintances one by one!"
The wind was very strong, producing a whistling sound in the phone. It should be on a very high mountain peak, with faint sounds of pine waves in the background.
"Pine waves, strong wind, and the faint sound of a few snowflakes falling—yet now it's the season of blooming flowers..." Ye Fan looked into the distance.
Ye Fan tapped the phone and discovered an image of Zhang Wenchang. He stood on Clumsy Peak, facing the morning glow as he breathed, with essence energy flowing like dragons from his seven orifices.
Clearly, after studying under Old Man Li Ruoyu, his cultivation had made great progress, and his temperament was no longer dispirited—he had changed significantly.
"See this? This will be the second person I kill in the future. If you don't come kneel and beg me, this person will die miserably in three months!"
The vicious voice roared like a vengeful spirit, echoing clearly, carrying a cruel flavor that made people uncomfortable and disgusted.
"They are not the only two. After them, there will be a third, a fourth... until everyone you know is dead!"
Ye Fan rubbed his temples. This person knew everything about him but showed no shock at his past experiences. He stood up, his eyes shooting out two beams of cold light.
"Of course, you can choose not to come. Ignore their lives and deaths, live on heartlessly, let them all die. But I will come find you myself in the future!"
*Slap*
Ye Fan closed the phone lid again. This person was probably not his match now, or lacked complete confidence, otherwise he wouldn't speak this way.
It was certain that once he stepped out of Jade Pool, he would enter a deadly situation. The other party wouldn't fight him personally—they must have mobilized other experts.
"Don't bring any reinforcements. I'm giving you a chance to play the hero and save the beauty alone. When you kneel before me, hehe..." These were the final words, cruel and merciless.
Ye Fan pondered. This person understood his character, certain that he would go rather than heartlessly abandon his old acquaintances.
He stood up and strolled among the lakes. Falling petals drifted everywhere, flowers fragrant and sparkling, creating a beautiful and dreamlike scene.
"Master Ye, please stop." A white-clad beauty blocked his way, not allowing him to proceed further, a slight blush on her face.
Ahead, clouds steamed and mists rose, water vapor filled the air, white immortal energy flowed, and the sounds of women playing in the water could be heard.
Ye Fan was speechless. Lost in thought, he had wandered aimlessly and ended up at the bathing place of the Jade Pool fairy maidens. He smiled and turned back.
"Do you have something on your mind? Staring blankly, you wandered in here." A pleasant voice came, soft with a hint of magnetism, like a celestial melody cleansing one's soul.
The Holy Maiden of Yao Chi emerged from the immortal lake, approaching gracefully. She wore a snow-white garment, her black hair dripping wet, her snow-white skin so delicate it seemed it would break at a touch, adorned with water droplets.
Within the Yao Chi Holy Land, she had not concealed her immortal countenance—Ye Fan had already seen her true face with his divine eyes, so there was no need.
"I encountered some matters and lost focus. Fortunately, I didn't mistakenly enter the immortal pool, or a group of fairy maidens would surely fight me to the death." Ye Fan laughed, though his expression showed some regret.
The Holy Maiden of Yao Chi was speechless. She gave him a meaningful glance before asking, "What matter has you so troubled?"
This was a flawless, unparalleled jade-like face, beautiful like a dream. Her long eyelashes, watery eyes containing poetic essence, she emerged like a divine flower from the water, crystal clear and peerless, transcending worldly dust.
Water droplets clung to her hair and her ivory-like delicate skin. Every smile and frown of the Holy Maiden of Yao Chi was incomparably moving.
This was a jade-like face as perfect as Yan Ruyu's, flawless and without blemish, rivaling An Miaoyi for the position of the most beautiful woman among the Eastern Wasteland human race. Her beauty was breathtaking.
If anyone could still be praised as a Guanghan fairy maiden, it would probably only be her. She truly possessed that ethereal, otherworldly aura that other women could hardly match.
"Do you know this place?" Ye Fan took out his phone and played the video.
"What is this?" The Holy Maiden of Yao Chi was surprised. Water droplets slid down her ivory-like skin, shimmering with rainbow colors.
Though she was bright and intelligent, she was stunned at this moment, rarely losing her composure.
"This is a divine object from beyond the realm. I'll explain it in detail to you another time, fairy maiden." Ye Fan recounted the whole story.
"The vast Eastern Wasteland is boundless and endless. Such towering mountains with snow falling in the scorching summer—there could be tens of thousands of such places, perhaps even more. However, with the sound of pine waves, in such an environment, it must be ice pines, which eliminates ninety percent of possibilities."
The Holy Maiden of Yao Chi paused here, then continued, "However, the key issue is that they just want to see you step out of Jade Pool."
"Exactly, that's the key. Once I do, I'll step into their killing trap." Ye Fan nodded.
"Do you have to go save this person?" the Holy Maiden of Yao Chi asked. This was clearly a deadly trap—walking into it willingly would likely end badly.
"Yes, I don't want to watch her die." Ye Fan sighed. He couldn't bring himself to be cold-hearted.
"That enemy has seen through this point, certain that you will go. They know your temperament well," the Holy Maiden of Yao Chi reminded.
"I know." Ye Fan nodded.
"How do you want us to help you?" the Holy Maiden of Yao Chi asked.
Ye Fan sighed softly. The other party forbade him from bringing people, clearly intending to destroy him. He could choose not to go, but the other party would surely kill Liu Yiyi without mercy.
This was a difficult problem before him. Knowing it was a killing trap, he still had to jump in, with no way to avoid it.
That day, Ye Fan sat by the lake, thinking for a long time. Finally, he stood up and asked the people of Jade Pool to help find that place. He would keep the appointment.
"You're really going to your death?" the Holy Maiden of Yao Chi was shocked.
"I won't let myself fall into a desperate situation, but there are indeed many difficulties." Ye Fan frowned.
"What plan do you have? You can't bring anyone—this is a death trap!" the Holy Maiden of Yao Chi said.
Ye Fan asked Jade Pool to help find that place, and also sent people to invite Red Dragon Daoist and Peacock King, asking them to come at the critical moment.
Then, he went into seclusion, cultivating continuously, as if setting everything aside, comprehending his own Dao.
It wasn't until the end of the month that he emerged from seclusion, full of energy, adjusted to his optimal state, and inquired about the current situation.
"If there's no mistake, it should be the Fire Demon Ridge in the central region of the Eastern Wasteland," the Holy Maiden of Yao Chi replied.
"Big brother, the uncles are here..." Little Nannan came running, followed by Red Dragon Daoist and Peacock King. They had already arrived many days ago.
Ye Fan opened the video and let them watch it again.
"Kneel and beg me like a dog..."
When Big Black Dog heard this venomous voice, he was even more furious than Ye Fan, shouting incessantly: "What do you mean 'like a dog'... Damn it, this emperor will torture it to death! I'll make it the pet of my human pet!"
"This big sister is so pitiful..." Little Nannan saw Liu Yiyi stumbling in the scene, leaving trails of blood on the extinct volcano. She couldn't bear to watch.
Ye Fan stood up and said, "Let's go. Now we go kill them!"
The Holy Maiden of Yao Chi was surprised, not knowing where his confidence came from. If he kept the appointment, it was clearly a death trap. How would he escape the deadly calamity, and even want to massacre the other side?
"Young man, you need to think carefully," one of Jade Pool's Supreme Elders advised.
"No need to fear. Just cut down all those people!" Red Dragon Daoist spoke.
Ye Fan had given him a sacred fruit—this was a life-prolonging kindness. He had rushed over as soon as he received the news. Now he could roam the Eastern Wasteland freely, naturally without fear.
Peacock King also had a Chaos Treasure Seal hovering above his head, flowing with myriad rays of light, looking down on the world, unafraid of any fierce battle, able to contend even with living fossils.
At the last moment, Crow Daoist received the message and also appeared in Jade Pool. With this supreme demon clan giant present, their lineup grew even stronger.
"To the central region—let's kill until rivers of blood flow!"
The Domain Gate appeared, pitch black inside. Ye Fan, Red Dragon Daoist, and several of Jade Pool's Supreme Elders entered one after another, disappearing from the sacred land.
