Chapter 1998 - 1863: The Situation Worsens

Chapter 1998: Chapter 1863: The Situation Worsens

"Curse Jar?"

Looking at the unremarkable earth pot above Ye Fan’s head, Qi Motian exclaimed.

Then, a sharp pain hit his chest, his vision went black, and he knew nothing more.

"Brother Chu Fan, save me!"

The life force of the two quickly faded, and they cried out in terror for help.

Ye Fan activated the earth pot, and after shaking it above their heads twice, the curse power was absorbed.

"Thud!"

The two collapsed simultaneously into the starlit sky, their faces pale as paper.

They secretly felt fortunate, thinking that if it weren’t for Ye Fan’s strange earth pot having the ability to absorb curse power, they might not have survived this time.

However, they had at least saved a life, and after resting for a moment, they glared angrily at the unconscious Qi Motian.

"Thank you, Brother Chu Fan, for saving our lives!"

The two bowed to Ye Fan, expressing their gratitude.

"You don’t need to thank me, just testify for me later. Actually, I am the Ye Fan you speak of, but I am not a spy for the Demon Clan, he is!" Ye Fan said calmly.

"What? You are Ye Fan?"

The two were shocked, retreating two steps in unison, appearing guarded.

"If I wanted to kill you, I wouldn’t have saved you just now."

To their reaction, Ye Fan could only respond with a bitter smile, realizing that he had a long way to go to change people’s misunderstanding of him.

But this was at least a beginning.

Starting now!

Ye Fan picked Qi Motian up, slapped him eighteen times back and forth, drawing light green blood from his mouth until he finally woke up.

At this moment, he could no longer use secret techniques to fake his vital signs, and a dense death aura spread out, revealing the essence of the Demon Clan.

"How did you see through me? Also, why do you have the Demon Clan’s Curse Jar?" Qi Motian asked coldly.

"Look at who I am."

Ye Fan activated the Human-Faced Geography Technique, revealing his true face, and coldly looked at him.

"Ye, it’s really you!"

Qi Motian yelled, but unfortunately, now the meat was on the chopping board, he had no way to resist.

"Come with me back to the Ninth Ancient City and clear the facts!"

Ye Fan prepared to take him back to the Ninth City of the Human Race to clear his name and prove his innocence.

"I really didn’t expect you to be a spy for the Demon Clan!"

"And we trusted you so much!"

The two young trialists gritted their teeth, deeply shaken. If it weren’t for Ye Fan, they would probably be two cold corpses by now.

"You want to prove your innocence?" Qi Motian sneered and said, "It’s useless. I won’t go back with you, and I certainly won’t help you clear the facts. Everything you’ve done is in vain; you can’t prove your innocence at all."

As soon as he finished speaking, Qi Motian suddenly exploded, a strong death energy sweeping across thousands of miles, directly blasting Ye Fan away.

As for the two young trialists, they were unlucky. Having already lost a lot of life force, and with Qi Motian exploding right beside them, they were blown to pieces, killed on the spot.

Even Ye Fan was severely shaken, his vital energy thrown into chaos, making it impossible for him to move for a short time.

The self-destruction of a Demon Clan strong person nearing the Peak of Demon Master Realm was extremely powerful.

This was also his momentary oversight, not expecting Qi Motian to be so determined and resolute, preferring to self-destruct than let him have a chance to clear the facts.

It must be said, Qi Motian succeeded. The only two witnesses also died in his self-destruction, leaving Ye Fan with no proof.

"I was negligent!"

After a long time, Ye Fan sighed deeply, his heart desolate as he headed towards the Ninth City.

He originally thought he could take this opportunity to prove his innocence, but unfortunately, due to his momentary oversight, he failed at the last step.

Helplessly, he could only change his appearance again, transforming into an ordinary young man to avoid drawing attention.

Upon returning to the Ninth Ancient City, Ye Fan immediately went to the branch of Treasure Pavilion, notifying them of Tu Sihai and the others’ infiltration into the Human Clan’s Ancient Star Path, and using them to spread this news.

The efficiency of Treasure Pavilion was still very high. In less than a day after Ye Fan left, the entire Ninth Ancient City was buzzing with the news of nine young Demon Clan strong people infiltrating the Human Clan’s Ancient Star Path.

This news caused a stir throughout the Ninth Ancient City, with everyone talking about it.

At the same time, Treasure Pavilion also released another piece of news: nine young Demon Clan strong people, disguised as Human Race trialists, specifically assassinated trialists on the Ancient Road, framing Ye Fan, hoping to use the Human Race’s own hands to eliminate their major threat.

Not long ago, one of the young Demon Clan strong people, while ambushing a Human Race trialist, was discovered and stopped by Ye Fan, who, after a difficult battle, eventually killed him.

Astonishing news kept emerging, causing a whirlwind on the entire Human Race’s Ancient Star Path.

"Is this news true?"

"It’s really hard to believe."

"If the Demon Clan really has nine young strong people infiltrated within us, it would be dangerous."

"So, we wrongly accused Ye Fan before."

"But the transmitted images indeed show that he possesses death aura and death martial techniques. How can this be explained?"

People were in an uproar, discussing and debating, with some believing Ye Fan was wronged, while others thought that Treasure Pavilion was deliberately exonerating Ye Fan.

For a while, various voices were clamoring, people’s opinions were divided, each holding their own views, even leading to arguments.

"The feeling of the Divine Race cannot be wrong, that Ye must be a spy for the Demon Clan!"

At this time, someone spoke up, using the feeling of the Divine Race as an argument, believing Ye Fan was indeed a spy for the Demon Clan, and claiming that the Treasure Pavilion was in collusion with Ye Fan, intentionally exonerating him and covering up the fact that he was a Demon Clan spy, who murdered geniuses of the Human Race and Demon Clan.

These words were spoken righteously, claiming that Ye Fan had been strangling the geniuses of the Human Race and Demon Clan from a long time ago, even causing the death of the Heavenly Prince of the Demon Clan.

These words made the trialists of the Demon Clan flock to agree, and those heirs of the Holy Land and Wu Shang Sect whose Saint Heirs died at Ye Fan’s hands also acknowledged this sentiment.

In their hearts, there was fundamentally no concept of right or wrong, and they felt Ye Fan must be nailed to the pillar of shame, so they could rightfully kill him.

With intentional efforts by some to fan the flames, the mainstream voice gradually became the belief that the Treasure Pavilion was intentionally creating momentum for Ye Fan.

Although there was also a portion of people who were doubtful, they were indeed a minority, seemingly not paying much attention to the deliberate rumors about Ye Fan.

Without having truly witnessed the methods of the Demon Clan, they didn’t consider the young strong people of the Demon Clan noteworthy.

However, Ye Fan had previously slaughtered many trialists with endless potential, and in their eyes, Ye Fan posed a far greater threat than the Demon Clan.

"I believe Ye Fan is innocent, he absolutely cannot be a spy for the Demon Clan!"

Just as Ye Fan was feeling saddened by these people, a new voice suddenly rang out in the Ninth City.

The speaker was an unparalleled young strong person, enveloped in Divine Radiance, like a Great Emperor, majestic and imposing.

Stunned, Ye Fan gazed from afar and saw the young man was none other than Prince Yue, Yue Haoyu, who had surprisingly rushed back from the front.

Yue Haoyu was hailed as one of the most promising people to prove Dao, possessing the bloodline of the Moon Emperor, with astonishing talent, having already proven Dao Venerable, becoming one of the earliest young strong people to break through to the Venerable Realm.

His attitude represented the will of the Human Race in the Xuan Realm, and could not be ignored.

For a while, many people wavered, believing that Prince Yue wouldn’t choose to trust Ye Fan without reason.

Though they knew he and Ye Fan had a deep friendship, being the Emperor’s son, he shouldn’t act selfishly in matters of great importance.

"Thank you, Brother Haoyu!"

Ye Fan said silently in his heart.

Since Yue Haoyu had arrived, he wouldn’t be leaving anytime soon, and they would surely have the opportunity to meet, Ye Fan was waiting for this chance.

Sure enough, after he voiced his support, Yue Haoyu found an inn to stay in, confident that if Ye Fan was in this Ancient City, he would surely come to meet him.

At night, the starlight was as water, although there was no moon, the Ancient City wasn’t dark.

Ye Fan concealed his aura, quietly heading towards Yue Haoyu’s residence.

He was indeed a bit concerned about the Great Demon and Li Yu’er, especially Wen TaDou, whose combat style was peculiar, but whose body wasn’t strong.

Yue Haoyu resided in a secluded courtyard, with a tranquil environment and rockery waterfalls, an absolutely ideal place for Cultivation.

Ye Fan blended into the night, quietly reaching the courtyard Yue Haoyu lived in, and then emitted a faint aura.

"Who is it?"

A figure flashed, Yue Haoyu had already appeared in front of him, crowned, with an air of nobility.

"It’s me!"

Ye Fan activated the Human-Faced Geography Technique, and with a series of crackling sounds, reverted to his original appearance.

"Brother Ye, you really came."

Yue Haoyu looked at Ye Fan in surprise, then quickly set up a Defensive Shield.

"Tell me, what exactly is going on, what have you experienced all these years?"

Yue Haoyu was calm and quickly settled down, as they entered the room, he asked.

"It’s a long story..."

Ye Fan sighed and recounted some of his experiences with the Demon Clan, and mentioned that he finally escaped with Elder Xuan’s help, while Elder Xuan and the Nine Heavens Mysterious Crown were trapped in the Hidden Realm.

"I never expected things to turn out this way."

After hearing Ye Fan’s account, Yue Haoyu couldn’t help but marvel, the experience was unbelievably bizarre.

"Brother Ye, now your situation is very precarious, although you have the help of the Treasure Pavilion, but as you’ve seen the situation these days, numerous forces’ older generation strong people and law enforcers on the Ancient Star Path have appeared, if you fall into their hands, you’re bound to die." Yue Haoyu said, frowning.

"I know, therefore, no matter what, I can’t get exposed, and I know those people of the Demon Clan, I must seek them out one by one, eliminate them for the Human Race, for all living beings." Ye Fan said.

"They’re framing you this way, and yet you still have to desperately ensure their safety, it’s so unfair to you!" Yue Haoyu lamented.

"For the Human Race, for all living beings, what does suffering a bit of injustice matter?"

Ye Fan smiled nonchalantly, saying, "What worries me most is, they won’t give me this opportunity, if I truly perish, the task of eradicating these remnants of the Demon Clan falls to you all."

Ye Fan transmitted the appearances of Tu Sihai and others directly to Yue Haoyu’s mind through divine consciousness.

"They may change their appearances, but beneath the Martial Arts Heavenly Eye, they should be identifiable." Ye Fan stated.

"What do you mean?"

Yue Haoyu said angrily, "Do you think I would abandon my brother? Rest assured, we will find a way to clear your name."

"Boom!"

At this moment, there suddenly came a loud noise from the sky!

Both were astonished, rushing out of the room together, looking towards the sky...
