Chapter 1021 - 1121: Advice from the Enemy

Just when Ye Tianfan thought he had reached a safe place, suddenly he heard a roar!

After hearing the roar, Ye Tianfan became alert. He maintained his vigilance for a while, but didn't notice any other movement!

Ye Tianfan was somewhat curious about his surroundings. The roar just now didn't seem far away, but why has there been no movement since?

It wasn't just Ye Tianfan; even Ling Yuan felt very curious.

His original intention was to use the tiger-like demon beast to make Ye Tianfan fall into an Illusion Realm through its roar, and then, through the interference of the Illusion Realm, lure Ye Tianfan out of the Taichu Sect's territory.

But looking at Ye Tianfan's reaction, it seemed he didn't fall into the Illusion Realm. This made Ling Yuan feel very curious. His technique, which was infallible in the cat-and-mouse game, used the Illusion Realm to lead the prey into where he wanted.

But now, it didn't work at all on Ye Tianfan. Could it be that the demon beast didn't release the Illusion Realm just now? But that's not right, as that demon beast has lost its own consciousness and is entirely under his control, so it couldn't have failed to release the Illusion Realm!

Of course, Ling Yuan didn't know that ever since Ye Tianfan acquired the Illusory Fire, he became immune to all illusion techniques in the world, unless the illusion exceeds the power of Illusory Fire, only then could he enter the Illusion Realm.

But at this moment, the Illusory Fire had nearly reached the realm of Immortal Fire, and to bypass it and make Ye Tianfan fall into the Illusion Realm, the illusion would have to be at the Immortal level.

Given the current situation in the cultivation world, releasing an Immortal-level illusion requires at least ten people at the Ten Directions level working together to perform such a high-level illusion!

Ling Yuan was puzzled, so he commanded the tiger-like demon beast to roar once more, and this time he discovered that Ye Tianfan indeed hadn't fallen into the Illusion Realm!

When Ye Tianfan heard the roar again, he became even more alert because the roar was closer to him. Yet, he still couldn't identify the source, as if the roar was coming from all directions. Though it sounded very close, Ye Tianfan couldn't pinpoint the figure behind it, so he summoned the Xuan Huang Tower to envelop himself as a precaution!

It seems Ye Tianfan has some means to either be immune or counteract illusion techniques.

Ling Yuan watched Ye Tianfan drawing nearer to the exit and realized this cat-and-mouse game had failed.

Although his intention was not to kill, he merely wanted to humiliate Ye Tianfan a bit, to make him understand that even if Zhang Youji valued him highly, he was still just a small fry. But unexpectedly, Ye Tianfan was immune to illusions, which Ling Yuan hadn't anticipated!

Ling Yuan suddenly appeared before Ye Tianfan, who quickly became cautious upon seeing him, and angrily reprimanded, "Don't act rashly. We're already in the Taichu Sect's territory. If we fight here, though you could quickly defeat me, I'm confident I could stall you until reinforcements from the Taichu Sect arrive."

"I'm not interested in you right now; this cat-and-mouse game was a loss for me due to carelessness, so I'm currently uninterested in you. Perhaps next time we meet, I might be," Ling Yuan indifferently stated, "By the way, I have a piece of advice for you. Many in the Demon Sect are eyeing the position of Sect Leader. Even though Zhang Youji declared publicly you're the next in line, there are many who are unsatisfied. Besides, you currently lack strong power; talent doesn't equate to strength. Only those who mature are geniuses, while those who don't are merely mediocrities."

"I'll say it again, I will not join your Demon Sect!" Ye Tianfan coldly replied. He couldn't understand why this person kept insisting he was the next Sect Leader, even though he never agreed to it; it was all Zhang Youji's doing, with his own delusional thinking.

However, Ye Tianfan truly didn't want to be some next Sect Leader. He didn't want any affiliations with the Demon Sect. If possible, Ye Tianfan didn't even want to assume overly significant roles; he merely wished to enhance his skills and find his way home quickly!

"It doesn't matter what you say now. The entire Demon Sect believes you are the next Sect Leader, and many dissatisfied members want to severely chastise and humiliate you when they see you, although they won't kill you, but they can make you wish you were dead." Ling Yuan smoothed his hair after speaking, "In short, we in the Demon Sect won't kill you, but seeing you won't be pleasant. This time, you got lucky. I didn't have accurate information on you, but now I know your strong resistance to illusion techniques. I'll share this intel with every member of the Demon Sect so that next time they'll use different methods on you!"

Upon finishing, Ling Yuan vanished with a flash.

Right now, Ye Tianfan felt infuriated; what nonsense is this? How could he become a target out of nowhere? And the so-called position of Demon Sect Leader was never agreed upon by him; yet they spread it around directly? What about human rights?

Ye Tianfan took several deep breaths, forcing himself to calm down. Otherwise, he feared he'd recklessly run to the Demon Sect Headquarters to confront Zhang Youji.

But he quickly dismissed this thought because Ye Tianfan wasn't Zhang Youji's match; even if everyone in the Demon Sect refrained from stopping him, he'd be brutally cast out if he faced Zhang Youji.

Moreover, if anyone from the Demon Sect tried to block him, he wouldn't even get a chance to face Zhang Youji, as he'd be directly thrown out. According to Ling Yuan, although they wouldn't kill him, a dose of humiliation was inevitable!

Ye Tianfan wouldn't seek trouble just for humiliation.

Even though the Demon Sect now knew Ye Tianfan's immunity to illusions, he gained valuable intel: Demon beings won't kill him unless they're idiots, since the current Sect Leader is still young. There's no need to offend the present leader.

As for the next Sect Leader, that's still a long way off. It's uncertain who will challenge Ye Tianfan, only brainless ones might genuinely attempt to kill him. Meanwhile, those hopeless for the Sect Leader position consider whether to cozy up to Ye Tianfan early, as he's a potential next leader.

Ye Tianfan should feel at ease when encountering people from the Demon Sect in the future.
