Chapter 2002: Chapter 1867: The Thief Cries "Stop Thief

Entering the Star Sky Ancient City, Ye Fan could clearly feel that it was much larger than other ancient cities.

The streets were bustling, crowded with people, with various taverns and shops, tall buildings lined up neatly, creating an orderly yet chaotic atmosphere.

"That vile Demon Clan spy has killed again!"

As soon as Ye Fan entered the city, he heard this news, and his expression immediately turned serious.

It seemed that during the time he was in the Trial Arena, Tu Sihai and the others were not idle.

"This time, the Law Enforcers and several Venerables are going there. They will surely capture him and rid the Human Clan’s Ancient Star Path of this menace."

"It’s difficult! That Demon Clan spy with the surname Ye is extremely cunning. The Law Enforcers arrived too late several times before, only to find a scene of broken corpses, absolutely tragic."

On the street, people were constantly discussing, causing public unease.

The Tenth Level gathered a large number of trialists, and if a Demon Clan spy sneaked in, it would be disastrous.

Upon entering the city and hearing such news, many people felt ominous, with everyone on guard, fearing being taken advantage of.

Because no one knew whether a Demon Clan spy lay hidden beside them.

Ye Fan found an inn, paid a top-grade Spirit Stone, and checked in.

Though the inn was costly, it was worth the price. The backyard had pavilions, corridors, small bridges over flowing water, with a garden-like design that was picturesque.

That night, he remained discreet, quietly cultivating, preparing to visit the Treasure Pavilion division tomorrow to inquire about the situation.

Early next morning, a piece of news shook the entire city—an expert of Seed Level had fallen, killed mercilessly in their dwelling.

At the dwelling, traces were found proving that Ye Fan was the culprit!

It was clear that someone deliberately framed him.

Hearing this news, Ye Fan was utterly enraged!

He went to the streets to inquire from the natives of the city and quickly learned the location of the local Treasure Pavilion division.

The reputation of Treasure Pavilion was very good, well-known even on the Ancient Star Path, where one could entrust them to auction top-grade Divine Materials; even Law Enforcers would purchase secret channel information from them.

The City Lord of the Tenth City passed away three years ago, and to this day, the city remains without a City Lord, with the Law Enforcer acting as City Lord.

Subsequently, he discovered an unexpected piece of news during others’ idle chats.

The Acting City Lord here, also the Law Enforcer on the Ancient Star Path, is actually the younger brother of the Human Clan’s Ancient Star Path First Heroic Pass City Lord, Pang Shicheng, and the paternal uncle of Young Master Pang Xie, Pang Shitong.

During this period, Pang Shitong was tirelessly searching for Ye Fan, seeking revenge for his nephew and brother.

Meanwhile, in another inconspicuous corner of the ancient city, the two genuine geniuses of the Demon Clan, Zheng Wuji and Baili Han, were plotting something.

It was a dilapidated house, its owner either dead or long gone, leaving this empty house for them as a refuge.

"I’ve already gathered intelligence. The Law Enforcer is the younger brother of the Human Clan’s First City’s City Lord. When the Ye surnamed killed his nephew, he caused his brother to be imprisoned in Heavenly Prison. He desperately wants to dismember the Ye surnamed. We can exploit this, using him to eliminate the Ye surnamed!"

Zheng Wuji said sinisterly.

"This plan is excellent, but we don’t even know where the Ye surnamed is right now. So, talking about killing him by proxy is groundless."

Baili Han’s eyes gleamed, then dimmed again.

No matter how good the idea, no matter how brilliant the scheme, if you can’t find Ye Fan, it’s all futile.

"Don’t worry about that. I have my ways."

Zheng Wuji chuckled darkly, a vicious glint flashing in his eyes.

"Oh? I’d love to hear more."

Baili Han’s spirit was lifted, leaning closer.

"I already found out that the Ye surnamed has an unusual relationship with Treasure Pavilion. Last time, our information was leaked because of Treasure Pavilion’s influence from behind. Fortunately, those foolish Humans didn’t believe it; otherwise, our situation would’ve been dire."

Zheng Wuji gritted his teeth, smirked cruelly: "I believe that as long as he comes here, he will definitely go to Treasure Pavilion to gather our information. As long as we watch Treasure Pavilion, we can surely discover his whereabouts."

"Indeed!"

Baili Han’s eyes shone with excitement: "Tonight, we’ll strike again. I don’t believe he won’t show up."

"The Death Aura emanated from the Human strong people’s death is simply a delightful supplement." Baili Han was intoxicated.

Then, the two set off, heading for Treasure Pavilion.

Upon reaching Treasure Pavilion, they stopped, concealing themselves in the Void, watching each trialist entering and leaving Treasure Pavilion.

In the ancient city, the atmosphere was extremely tense, with everyone being more cautious, mutually guarding, and trusting no one.

Before the real culprit was caught, anyone could be the shape-shifting Demon Clan spy, masquerading as Ye Fan.

For a time, the entire ancient city was tumultuous, murder hidden in every corner, and people realized that similar incidents might happen again.

What’s most deadly is, not only do the Demon Clan spies seize opportunities to assassinate Human strong people, but some powerful trialists can also use this chance to eliminate competitors, shifting the blame onto Ye Fan as long as they’re not caught in the act.

Throughout the ancient city, enticing discussions about last night’s murder case pointed directly at Ye Fan.

"The Ye surnamed is utterly inhumane."

"If I meet him, I’ll kill him without mercy."

"Come on, you? If you do meet the Ye surnamed, you’ll probably be the one getting killed, right?"

Similar statements echoed in taverns and tea houses around the streets, deepening Ye Fan’s frown.

The name ’Ye Fan’ had become a nightmare in many trialists’ minds, and people wished to capture him immediately to uphold the law.

Strolling along the street, Ye Fan listened to the surrounding chatter while heading towards the Treasure Pavilion.

Without a doubt, there are strong Demon Clan infiltrators mixed into the ancient city. He needed the most timely information to make the most correct decisions.

Given the panic of the trialists and city residents, the Law Enforcers decisively ordered the city to be locked down, searching the whole city, determined to capture and kill Ye Fan.

Squads of soldiers wielding bronze war spears patrolled the city with a chilling killing intent, instantly making the atmosphere of the ancient city tense.

Along the way, Ye Fan brushed past many patrolling soldiers, yet none of them could recognize him.

In every ancient city along the Human Clan’s Ancient Star Path, there was a branch of the Treasure Pavilion, occupying an extremely large area, majestic in grandeur, comparable to any building in the city.

Especially this branch, which was suspended in the air like a giant fortress. Like a palace, it was carved with dragons and phoenixes, exuding an extraordinary aura.

A stone staircase like a rainbow extended downward from the suspended palace, allowing people to go up and down.

Ye Fan ascended the steps, arrived at the Treasure Pavilion, and took out the VIP Card that Yaling had given him. He was quickly led into a small building.

Here, strange flowers and herbs were everywhere, lifespan apes offering peaches, immortal cranes dancing, dense Heaven and Earth Primordial Qi filled the air, like fog and haze.

He was received by the head of this branch, an elder strong person at the Early-Stage Venerable Realm, whose hair was streaked with white yet was spirited and vigorous.

"I want to know the detailed events of last night, and also the information and movements of those Demon Clan strong people." Ye Fan got straight to the point, directly stating his intentions without any nonsense.

"We are still investigating last night’s events, without any leads yet. But we can be sure that the Demon Clan infiltrators you mentioned must be hiding in the city." The elder said.

At this point, Ye Fan had no need to be on guard anymore, and he directly turned back to his original appearance; commonly using the Human Face Feng Shui Technique to change his appearance was quite uncomfortable.

Especially since this Divine Arts has a time limit. Even with his current strength, he could only maintain it for around ten days.

"Ye Fan?"

"The Ye!"

In the void, Zheng Wuji and Baili Han exclaimed. They never expected that Ye Fan could freely change his appearance and demeanor, even deceiving them.

"Not good!"

At the moment of their exclamation, Ye Fan sensed unusual fluctuations in the nearby void. No time to change his appearance, he directly delivered a hand blade, smashing the void, shaking the two out from the void.

The Treasure Pavilion’s head was furious; with his cultivation, he was shocked to be spied upon up close without noticing.

"Bang!"

In the busy moment, Zheng Wuji and Baili Han simultaneously struck a move with Ye Fan, causing their Death Aura to surge, nearly unable to suppress and expose their identities.

The two exchanged a glance, seeing the shock in each other’s eyes. Ye Fan was too strong, without deploying Death Martial Technique, they were simply not his match.

"Go!"

Terrified to the core, they used all their strength to swiftly escape.

"Where are you going?"

Ye Fan shouted, activated Chasing Star Step, and chased after them like a flowing light, without a word, directly striking with the Xuandi Fist.

"Puff!"

"Puff!"

Trying their best to resist, they were still injured by the powerful force, both spitting blood.

At this moment, their gaze towards Ye Fan was filled with terror and shock; in such a short time, Ye Fan had surprisingly broken through to Lord Realm Peak.

"Didn’t expect it to be you two; use your Death Martial Technique, otherwise you stand no chance," Ye Fan coldly said.

He believed that someone would soon arrive here; he wanted Zheng Wuji and Baili Han to use Death Martial Technique to prove his innocence.

"You want us to prove your innocence? Dream on!" Zheng Wuji’s eyes were cruelly vicious.

"Demon Clan infiltrator Ye Fan is here!"

At this moment, Baili Han suddenly shouted and then desperately fled toward the crowd below.

"Ye Fan is here!"

Zheng Wuji realized, with a flash of cold smile in his eyes, yelled loudly, the voice shook the entire city.

"Where’s the Demon Clan infiltrator Ye Fan?"

Many trialists and some older Human Race strong people swarmed in, and in an instant, surrounded Ye Fan.

"The Demon Clan infiltrator Ye, didn’t expect you to have this day, give me your life!"

A young Human Race strong person decisively struck, righteous-looking, raised his hand, and unleashed a Xing River, pressing it down on Ye Fan!
