Ye Fan lightly patted Yu Linglong’s shoulder, "Don’t worry, as long as we see the Old Palace Master and your mother and rescue them, then everything won’t be a problem."
The reason why Mirror Moon Palace’s internal situation has developed to its current state is mainly because of Tao Fei’s betrayal, using his prestige to gather many of Mirror Moon Palace’s powerful figures to defect to his side.
But once the Old Palace Master and Yu Linglong’s mother awaken, most of Mirror Moon Palace’s powerful figures wouldn’t dare to act against them, and those loyal to the Old Palace Master and Yu Linglong’s mother will seize the opportunity to counterattack.
Although Ye Fan comforted her, Yu Linglong was still rather worried. They were in the core area of strongholds belonging to the Evil Spirits and Soul Hall. If exposed, there would be nowhere to escape.
The three escorted Tao Fei and two other guards, heading smoothly towards the core of the Alchemy Base Blood Pool.
Although so of these guards were arranged by Soul Hall and Evil Spirits, they didn’t question Tao Fei much upon seeing him, as currently, within Mirror Moon Palace, Tao Fei held the greatest power.
But as they approached the Blood Pool with a few hundred ters left, Ye Fan sensed sothing was amiss because several forces seed to be lurking secretly, eager to move. Particularly, those who saw him showed intense murderous intent.
Ye Fan furrowed his brows, "What’s going on? Looks like Tao Fei has quite a few enemies within Mirror Moon Palace."
Even though Mirror Moon Palace’s Old Palace Master and Yu Linglong’s mother were controlled, it seed Tao Fei managed to control the entire operation of Mirror Moon Palace, but there were still those wanting to act against him. Only now Tao Fei wasn’t himself, but rather impersonated by Ye Fan.
"Speed up!" Ye Fan called to Yu Linglong and Gong Shu, "We must quickly enter the Blood Pool, otherwise, tangling with these people outside, whether victorious or defeated, will have dire consequences."
Just as Ye Fan and Yu Linglong, Gong Shu and others turned a street corner, they suddenly noticed a familiar figure in the shadows.
"Hmm? Ding Xiu?"
Among the crowd, hidden among the guards in the shadows, the leader was a black-clothed man.
That was Ding Xiu, who had gifted Ye Fan a cultivation technique in the secular world. However, Ding Xiu seemingly did not recognize Ye Fan and Yu Linglong, and his eyes showed intense murderous intent, as if wanting to devour Ye Fan.
Ye Fan instantly understood Ding Xiu and his group’s intentions. They must be the Legitimate Line under the Old Palace Master and Yu Linglong’s mother, hiding to rescue the Old Palace Master.
All along, Ye Fan examined the entire defense system within An City, including the strong figures arranged by Soul Hall and Evil Spirits, and Tao Fei’s loyal subordinates. The numbers were overwhelming.
And though Ding Xiu had gathered quite a few people, almost dozens, relying solely on their strength to breach the core defenses of the Alchemy Base seed impossible, and charging could be disastrous.
Ding Xiu had been great to Ye Fan in the secular world, and encountering him in the Immortal Domain, the favor should be repaid. Thinking this, Ye Fan signaled Yu Linglong and Gong Shu to pause briefly as he stepped towards Ding Xiu’s group.
Ding Xiu’s group, composed of dozens of powerful figures, gripped their saber handles tightly, watching Ye Fan with vigilant expressions. As they saw Ye Fan stepping towards them, everyone’s nerves tensed, eyes blazing at Ding Xiu, awaiting his command.
"Elder Ding, have we been exposed? We’ve been discovered."
"If anything goes wrong, we’ll strike right away! This damned bastard is no good!"
Even if Soul Hall and Evil Spirits planned to invade Mirror Moon Palace, without Tao Fei’s betrayal, it wouldn’t be so easy.
The most crucial point was when Mirror Moon Palace confronted Soul Hall, at the critical mont, Tao Fei betrayed with the core troops, capturing the Old Palace Master and Yu Linglong’s mother, leading to the current situation.
Those beside Ding Xiu felt slightly anxious, fixated on Ye Fan approaching.
Ding Xiu also watched warily at the situation unfolding, scrutinizing Ye Fan, Yu Linglong, and others. Although Ye Fan’s appearance was Tao Fei, and Yu Linglong, Gong Shu took on ordinary guard appearances, Ding Xiu sensed a familiar aura from Ye Fan.
Within Ding Xiu’s heart, a hint of hope surfaced, could it be?
Yet Ding Xiu quickly dismissed this bold thought. If it were true, Ye Fan would be too gifted and daring.
Qingyuan Sect hasn’t even established itself in the Immortal Domain, how could Ye Fan have such audacity? To break through to Mirror Moon Palace so swiftly?
However, Ding Xiu still waved his hand, signaling his n not to act rashly, to wait and see, avoiding conflict if possible.
Having approached the core of the Alchemy Base Blood Pool, any action now, failing to quickly take Tao Fei, alerting other guards, would be catastrophic for Ding Xiu and his team.
And importantly, Ding Xiu’s group knew that although Tao Fei controlled Mirror Moon Palace, the core area of the Alchemy Base’s Soul Transfer Array, even Tao Fei couldn’t enter without clearance.
Thus, even if they captured Tao Fei, it wouldn’t carry much significance.
Avoiding conflict would be best!
Ye Fan approached Ding Xiu’s group, feigning severity and scolding, "What are so many of you doing here? We’re at a critical stage of the Soul Transfer Array; any mishap and I’ll hold you accountable!"
Ye Fan’s stern reprimand made Ding Xiu’s subordinates glare at him with more resentnt.
To these core mbers of the Old Palace Master’s Legitimate Line, Tao Fei’s betrayal was more vile than those of Evil Spirits and Soul Hall; they wished to devour Tao Fei.
While reprimanding these core mbers, Ye Fan scanned the surroundings, his sharp gaze checking the surrounding defenses he’d worried about, those arranged by Soul Hall, Evil Spirits, and Tao Fei’s actual core subordinates.
Ye Fan needed to convey his identity to Ding Xiu without others discovering, but how?
Ye Fan thought rapidly, suddenly recalling the cultivation technique bestowed by Ding Xiu from the secular world. It was the Power of the Five Elents technique, unique to the Immortal Domain, containing so notes by Ding Xiu. Giving this to Ding Xiu should make him understand.
Ding Xiu saw Ye Fan’s serious reprimand and bowed respectfully, "Elder Tao, we were ordered to defend here. It’s just brothers t familiar faces and exchanged a few words."
Ye Fan snorted, "Hmph, this is how you manage your subordinates? Get them back to their posts. And have them copy the Palace’s discipline manual ten tis for !"
As Ye Fan spoke, he secretly slipped a booklet into Ding Xiu’s hand—the Power of the Five Elents cultivation technique.
Ding Xiu frowned, initially puzzled by the order to copy Mirror Moon Palace’s discipline manual; what did it an?
But when Ding Xiu glanced at the booklet’s cover, seeing the bold characters, his heart trembled montarily, pupils dilating intensely, hope flashing in his eyes, "It’s him, it’s really him!"
