Ye Fan raised an eyebrow.
Although the two old men had rather peculiar ways of thinking, their strength was undeniable.
After all, they were beings capable of tearing apart void spirits, incredibly formidable!
Whatever could elicit a call from them must be no ordinary thing.
"Where exactly is it?" Ye Fan asked again.
"We don't know," Master Xie Yan shook his head. "We can't describe it precisely... We feel the summons, but we can't pinpoint the location."
"Well... alright then..."
Ye Fan had asked with the intention of going to investigate.
After all, he could cultivate now.
What if it was some incredibly rare treasure? His realm would surely soar!
However, considering his current strength, he decided to play it safe.
If he encountered any danger he couldn't handle, he might just perish.
Yes, the two old men were indeed fierce in battle.
But spiritual powerhouses could be unreliable at critical moments...
Besides, he had just acquired a batch of ores. It was better to proceed steadily and gradually...
"Since that's the case, you two should go quickly!" Ye Fan urged. "What if there's something good, and you're too late and someone else snatches it?"
If nothing else.
Getting rid of these two troublesome deities was the priority!
The two old men exchanged glances. "Makes sense!"
Suddenly.
They both looked towards the door.
"Someone's coming."
"With ill intentions."
Ye Fan immediately walked out of the room and looked outside.
The flying boat had already left the imperial city far behind.
The surroundings appeared to be desolate wilderness, with no signs of habitation.
A single figure was rapidly approaching them!
A few moments later, the figure stopped in front of the flying boat.
The Myriad Manifestation Sect.
The Second Elder!
Ye Fan narrowed his eyes.
After the previous competition, he had sensed the Second Elder of the Myriad Manifestation Sect still harbored great hostility towards him.
And now, he had indeed pursued them.
"Is that the shameless scoundrel from yesterday?" the Second Elder, who had followed, said, clearly surprised.
"What's he here for?" Master Xie Yan's expression was puzzled.
"If I'm not mistaken..." Ye Fan paused. "He's here to kill me."
The faces of the two old men changed!
Although they knew Ye Fan and the Second Elder of the Myriad Manifestation Sect had a grievance, since it had been absolutely resolved yesterday, they expected him to keep his word.
After all, that was the most basic integrity for a person.
How could one be so shameless?!
"Boy!" The Second Elder of the Myriad Manifestation Sect slowly raised his hand, his true energy circulating wildly. "This time, let's see where you can run!"
"I say, how can you go back on your word?" the Second Elder immediately rebuked.
"Shameless!" Master Xie Yan spat vehemently. "Bah!"
The response was a spell cast by the Second Elder of the Myriad Manifestation Sect!
An expert at the Out-of-Body stage, coupled with such close proximity.
"Boom—!"
The spell instantly engulfed the flying boat!
A trace of malicious pleasure flashed through the Second Elder's mind!
Boy!
If I could kill you once, I can kill you a second time!
Last time, I was careless and you escaped.
But this time, it won't happen!
His attack just now had not used his full strength.
He didn't want to kill Ye Fan on the spot, but to capture him alive!
That way, he wouldn't resort to the trick of the golden cicada shedding its shell again.
Although he still couldn't figure out how Ye Fan had survived last time.
But that didn't matter anymore!
As long as he captured the person, they would never escape!
Killing you directly would be too easy!
I will imprisoning you and let you suffer torment for all eternity!
Then, death itself will be a luxury you can only dream of!!!
As the light dissipated.
The Second Elder of the Myriad Manifestation Sect's expression changed!
Because Ye Fan and the others were still standing on the deck of the flying boat!
Let alone injured.
Not even a hair was out of place!
Although his attack hadn't been very strong, it wasn't something these trash could withstand!
There's something strange about this!
The Second Elder of the Myriad Manifestation Sect was a man of few words and decisive action!
He immediately unleashed another attack!
And this time, the power was clearly greater than before!
"Boom—!"
As the light faded.
The outcome remained unchanged.
"What is this guy doing?" the Second Elder was clearly perplexed. "Has he not eaten?"
"Possibly," Master Xie Yan nodded, then added, "Or perhaps he's suffering from kidney deficiency!"
Upon hearing this, a flicker of excitement appeared in the eyes of the two old men!
Kidney deficiency = illness.
Illness = needs treatment!
At this moment, they had completely forgotten that the other party was an enemy.
Their minds were filled with only the word "treatment"!
However, as rigorous alchemists and physicians, it was irresponsible to jump to conclusions based on mere speculation.
Therefore, the two did not rush to act but instead scrutinized the Second Elder of the Myriad Manifestation Sect carefully.
And with this scrutiny, they truly found something!
In the eyes of the two old men, the Second Elder of the Myriad Manifestation Sect now appeared as if they were looking through a transparent diagram.
Various large and small red dots were scattered irregularly across his body.
And these red dots represented diseased or injured areas!
Especially the two large clusters of red dots around his kidneys, which were particularly striking!
This was actually quite normal.
Cultivators, after all, were always involved in fighting and killing.
No one could guarantee their invincibility.
Even the most powerful figures had started as novices.
Over time, it was inevitable that they would accumulate some internal injuries or old ailments.
For cultivators at the Out-of-Body stage like the Second Elder of the Myriad Manifestation Sect, most minor internal injuries or old ailments could heal slowly.
Whatever remained now must be something beyond the comprehension of Out-of-Body stage cultivators.
Unfortunately, the Second Elder of the Myriad Manifestation Sect was unaware of the thoughts of the two old men.
After two failed attacks, his temper flared!
He could now see that the flying boat likely had defensive formations or barriers.
Without breaking through these, he wouldn't be able to subdue Ye Fan and the others.
Breaking them wasn't difficult, but controlling the force was tricky.
If he exerted too much force, he might accidentally kill them.
Since magical attacks wouldn't work, he decided to change tactics!
Although cultivators at the Out-of-Body stage usually fought with true energy and spells, it didn't mean they wouldn't engage in close combat.
While not professional body cultivators, the physical strength of those at the Out-of-Body stage was still terrifying!
At least, it was more than enough to deal with these weaklings before him!
With that thought.
The Second Elder of the Myriad Manifestation Sect flashed and charged towards the flying boat!
As he got closer, a faint barrier indeed appeared on the surface of the flying boat.
The Second Elder of the Myriad Manifestation Sect immediately threw a punch!
Ye Fan's meticulously arranged defensive formation silently shattered into pieces!
Ye Fan stealthily shifted his steps, hiding behind the two old men.
This wasn't cowardice, it was emergency self-preservation...
Pressing forward when clearly outmatched was foolishness...
The two old men did not disappoint Ye Fan.
They even rushed out faster than the Second Elder of the Myriad Manifestation Sect!
Their eyes were filled with excitement!
Their bodies trembled slightly with joy!
"Stop!"
"Don't move!"
Towards these two, the Second Elder of the Myriad Manifestation Sect had no intention of holding back!
After all, his sole target was Ye Fan; the others could be killed with impunity!
He immediately unleashed both fists, swinging them fiercely at the two old men!
"Bang!"
"Bang!"
His two fists successfully landed on the faces of the two old men.
However, the result was something he found unacceptable.
Far from being sent flying back.
They hadn't even retreated half a step!
The two old men's feet seemed rooted to the spot, enduring a face-full of punches!
The Second Elder of the Myriad Manifestation Sect was utterly bewildered!
The force of those two punches had been considerable.
Even a cultivator at the early Out-of-Body stage would have been blown apart by him on the spot!
One at the Golden Core stage, the other at the Nascent Soul stage...
How was this possible?!
While he was stunned, the two old men pushed his hands away.
Not only were they not angry, but they even wore incredibly kind smiles.
"Just this much strength."
"As expected, your kidney deficiency is severe."
As they spoke, the hands of the two old men had already reached his kidneys.
