Mu Xue flew forward in a panic, but was blocked by Ye Fan.
Mu Xue looked at Ye Fan, frowned, and said with displeasure, “Why are you here?”
Ye Fan put his hands behind his back, looked at Mu Xue, and said leisurely, “I happened to be passing by. Why are you running so fast? Are there ferocious beasts behind you?”
Mu Xue glanced behind her and said anxiously, “Get out of the way.”
When Mu Xue was looking for the heavenly fire recently, she met the four brothers again. Fortunately, she escaped from the quadruplets with the help of an escape talisman. However, several of her helpers were all dead.
”You sell me a Sleepy Flame Bell. You don’t need so many anyway,” Ye Fan said.
Mu Xue said with displeasure, “The flame of life is gone. What do you need the Sleepy Flame Bell for?” Mu Xue secretly wondered if Ye Fan had any inside information.
Ye Fan blinked and said, “The flame of life can’t be found, but I should be prepared!”
Mu Xue and Ye Fan were talking, when several people originally chasing Mu Xue caught up.
The quadruplets appeared on the wasteland.
Ye Fan looked at the people who appeared and finally understood why Mu Xue was in such a messy state. It turned out that this woman had met the four brothers from Rongtian Palace.
”You have found help, so aren’t running anymore?” The eldest of the quadruplets glanced at Mu Xue, with a hint of lust in his eyes.
No matter how dull Ye Fan was, looking at the covetous eyes of the eldest of the quadruplets, he knew that the eldest of the quadruplets had bad intentions toward Mu Xue. Ye Fan secretly lamented that the eldest of the quadruplets had no vision. Mu Xue was not even one-tenth as beautiful as his wife.
Mu Xue glanced at the four people and suddenly said, “I don’t have the Sleepy Flame Bell on me anymore, but this guy has a silver thread net on him.”
Ye Fan suddenly had the urge to beat Mu Xue to death, but Mu Xue, who had been prepared, had already crushed an escape talisman and disappeared without a trace.
The quadruplets looked at Xu Mingyang next to Ye Fan and believed Mu Xue’s words. They did not immediately rush to chase Mu Xue, but stayed and observed Ye Fan and his party.
Xu Mingyang was a little surprised that Mu Xue actually knew that Ye Fan had a silver thread net in his possession. After all, no one else was present when he gave Ye Fan the silver thread net.
Xu Mingyang didn’t know that Mu Xue had always regarded Ye Fan as an imaginary enemy, so she always subconsciously investigated and studied Ye Fan’s affairs.
Ye Fan rescued Xu Mingyang inexplicably, and Mu Xue felt that there must be something on Xu Mingyang that Ye Fan coveted. After some investigation, Mu Xue discovered that Xu Mingyang had a silver thread net in his possession.
Seeing the degree of friendship between Ye Fan and Xu Mingyang, Mu Xue made a wild guess that the silver thread net had already landed in Ye Fan’s hands.
Mu Xue put too much energy on Ye Fan, so that when it came time to actually compete for the heavenly fire, Mu Xue discovered that there were actually many troublesome people, not just Ye Fan, and those experts from other areas also had more means.
The endless emergence of experts made Mu Xue, who was originally confident, gradually lose her confidence. However, Mu Xue still felt that Ye Fan was the most difficult one among all those competing for the heavenly fire.
”You have a silver thread net on you?” The eldest of the quadruplets asked.
Ye Fan was very unhappy after being plotted against by Mu Xue. Seeing the eldest quadruplet’s arrogant look, he suddenly felt even worse. “Whatever I have with me, what does it have to do with you?”
The eldest of the quadruplets looked at Ye Fan, smiled coldly, and said, “Okay! I originally thought that if you obediently handed over the silver thread net, I would spare you, this trash from a poor continent, but I didn’t expect you to be so arrogant. You are really courting death.”
We’re sorry for MTLers or people who like using reading mode, but our translations keep getting stolen by aggregators so we’re going to bring back the copy protection. If you need to MTL please retype the gibberish parts.
The eldest of the quadruplets snorted coldly and called his brothers to join him.
The eldest of the quadruplets was at the peak of Foundation Establishment. Someone at the peak of Foundation Establishment was already among the strongest in the secret realm. Coupled with the treasures given by the sect, he naturally did not take ordinary cultivators seriously.
”You want to pressure me with numbers.” Ye Fan patted his storage bag and summoned five puppets.
The five puppets raised their arms and shot, creating explosions.
”You bastard, how dare you resist?” The four of them joined forces and had always been domineering.
Many of the foreign cultivators they met earlier knelt down and begged for mercy when they saw the four brothers. When they saw Ye Fan acting so arrogant, they immediately became furious.
The power of the explosions produced by the Heavenly Thunder Beads was no small matter, but the four brothers were also not easy to mess with. The Rongtian Mirror blocked most of the attacks for the four of them.
Ye Fan said angrily, “Cheating!” Ye Fan thought to himself: It would be great to have a powerful sect as a backer! Unfortunately, he had a backer but couldn’t rely on them because they were currently too far away.
The eldest of the quadruplets looked at Ye Fan and couldn’t help but feel a little excited. The combined power of the Heavenly Thunder Beads was amazing. The Rongtian Mirror was actually somewhat damaged. The Rongtian Mirror was a treasure lent to the four of them by the elders of the sect. They had to return it when they returned. Now that the Rongtian Mirror had been damaged, it would be difficult for the four of them to explain.
”You… dare to damage the Rongtian Mirror. I will kill you. I will definitely kill you.” The eldest of the quadruplets roared.
The eldest of the quadruplets gave an order, and the four bronze mirrors shot out a beam of light at the same time and smashed down toward Ye Fan.
Ye Fan immediately took out the Profound Dragon Seal, which flew into the air and formed a screen of light, blocking the attacks of several people.
Ye Fan frowned and looked at the Profound Dragon Seal, feeling a little unsure in his heart.
The Profound Dragon Seal shone brightly, and Ye Fan felt the spiritual power in his body flow into the Profound Dragon Seal quickly. Ye Fan couldn’t help but raise his head and look at the Profound Dragon Seal. The Profound Dragon Seal burst out with a burst of dazzling golden light, and the light became brighter and brighter and more and more dazzling.
Ye Fan felt that the attack from the four brothers had dissolved the seal* within the Profound Dragon Seal, and the true power of the Profound Dragon Seal might be revealed.
A deafening dragon roar rang out, shaking the whole place.
Ye Fan, who had exhausted his spiritual power, was shocked by the sound and almost fainted. Ever since he entered Foundation Establishment, Ye Fan had not experienced the feeling of lack of spiritual power for a long time. Ye Fan felt like he was sucked dry in an instant.
”Boom.” The Profound Dragon Seal slammed toward the four brothers.
The four brothers fell to the ground one after another under the impact of the Profound Dragon Seal.
”Slash.” Bai Yunxi used his spiritual sword and thrust it toward the quadruplets, starting with the eldest.
The quadruplets had been struck by the Profound Dragon Seal, and their spiritual power was in chaos. Facing Bai Yunxi’s attacks, they had no ability to fight back.
Xu Mingyang looked at Bai Yunxi and said with some surprise, “So fast!”
”This opportunity must not be missed. It might not come again!” Bai Yunxi said calmly.
Bai Yunxi deliberately killed the people before Xu Mingyang could take action.
Bai Yunxi knew that the status of these people in Rongtian Palace was not low. Xu Mingyang might have to deal with Rongtian Palace in the future when he returned to the Southern Continent.
As for him, the sky was high and the emperor was far away. In this life, he didn’t know whether he would go to Rongtian Palace’s territory. Naturally, there was no need to worry. Anyway, even if Rongtian Palace was angry, it was impossible for them to cross the Endless Sea to find him for a few Foundation Establishment disciples.
Bai Yunxi and Xu Mingyang cleaned up the scene and left with Ye Fan who was overly exhausted.
…
Ye Fan woke up after being in a coma for a day.
”Are you awake?” Bai Yunxi asked.
Ye Fan nodded, suddenly thought of something, and suddenly took out the seal. The seal on the Profound Dragon Seal had been restored, and it had lost all of its previous high and mighty appearance, and had become ordinary. Ye Fan played with the seal thoughtfully.
Xu Mingyang looked at Ye Fan and asked, “Where did you get this seal? It’s very powerful!”
Ye Fan blinked and said, “I got this by accident.” Ye Fan secretly thought that there might have once been many extraordinary people on earth. For example, the teleportation formation at the bottom of the ocean, which could not be arranged by ordinary people. Then there was this seal. At first, he thought it was a spiritual-level spiritual weapon, but looking at the sudden burst of power from this seal, it might be a heaven-level spiritual weapon, or even better than a heaven-level spiritual weapon!
”It’s amazing,” Xu Mingyang said.
Ye Fan nodded and asked, “Where are those guys from Rongtian Palace?”
”Killed by your wife,” Xu Mingyang said.
Ye Fan glanced at Bai Yunxi and said, “Yunxi? Did you kill all those guys?”
Bai Yunxi nodded and said, “Yes! Is there anything strange?”
Ye Fan muttered in a low voice, “It’s not strange.” He was a little uncomfortable with his wife being so tough.
Ye Fan looked at Bai Yunxi and frowned.
Bai Yunxi looked at Ye Fan and said, “Why are you looking at me like that?”
”It’s nothing. There are four soul imprints left in your body. Elite disciples of large sects will have special soul imprints in their bodies. They are usually placed by cultivators in the Nascent Soul stage. After an elite disciple dies, the soul imprint will enter the murderer’s body. In this way, those sects can easily identify the murderer,” Ye Fan said.
Bai Yunxi nodded and said, “Oh.”
Xu Mingyang squinted his eyes and thought to himself: Although the quadruplets had outstanding talents, in the final analysis they were only at Foundation Establishment. Rongtian Palace left soul imprints on all of them, probably because they were worried about losing the Rongtian Mirror.
Ye Fan tilted his head and said, “The soul imprint is actually very nourishing. After you dissolve it, it can nourish the soul. I will help you another day.”
Bai Yunxi nodded and said calmly, “Okay.”
”Ah!” Ye Fan suddenly screamed.
Bai Yunxi looked at Ye Fan’s frightened look and couldn’t help but ask, “Is there a problem?”
”The loot! Did you remember to grab the spoils?” Ye Fan asked.
”Since everyone was killed, the loot will naturally not be forgotten. Otherwise, wouldn’t the killing be in vain?” Bai Yunxi took out a bunch of storage rings.
Ye Fan said in surprise, “There are so many?”
Bai Yunxi nodded and said, “The four of them had a lot on them.”
Ye Fan nodded understandingly. With the strength of the Rongtian Palace quadruplets, there would naturally be many cultivators who died at their hands, so there would be no shortage of storage rings.
Ye Fan fumbled with the Rongtian Mirror and said a little strangely, “Why is there only one face of this mirror? The other three faces were destroyed?”
Xu Mingyang said, “The Rongtian Mirror originally had only one face, but it was divided into four faces for ease of use. After all, it is a heaven-level spiritual weapon that ordinary people cannot use. After it is divided into four faces, it is easier to control. However, after the battle, the mirror naturally returned to its original state. We don’t know what’s going on.”
Ye Fan looked at the Rongtian Mirror and said, “Tsk, tsk, it’s a good treasure. It’s mine now.”
”How is your body? Why did you faint suddenly?” Bai Yunxi asked.
”I, I’m fine, but the seal is too overbearing. Let’s go to the Heavenly Thunder Bamboo Forest.”
Ye Fan thought to himself: Although he didn’t get the Sleepy Flame Bell in Mu Xue’s hands, he got the Rongtian Mirror. The Rongtian Mirror was much better than the Sleepy Flame Bell.
Bai Yunxi nodded and said, “Okay.”
The Taotie ghost lay beside the seal, lost in thought.
Bai Yunxi looked at the Taotie ghost and said, “What’s wrong with you?”
”It seems that my dragon clan senior is sealed inside. I don’t know which unlucky dragon it is.” The Taotie ghost said.
Bai Yunxi: “…”
…
Shortly after Mu Xue used the escape talisman to leave, she saw the magnificent scene of top-notch spiritual weapons clashing from a distance. The sound of the earth and mountains shaking shocked Mu Xue. Mu Xue waited for a long time before sneaking back to the place to check the situation. However, because Xu Mingyang cleaned up all traces, Mu Xue didn’t find any useful clues there.
Ye Fan returned to outside the Heavenly Thunder Bamboo Forest. Because Ye Fan had stayed outside the Heavenly Thunder Bamboo Forest for a long time before, when Ye Fan returned here, the cultivators in the secret realm did not think it had anything to do with the heavenly fire.
Bai Yunxi looked at the center of the bamboo forest, frowned, and said, “Is it really here?”
Ye Fan nodded and said, “It’s possible. But the power of thunder and lightning is too strong. You can’t sense it even if you’re inside.”
”If it’s inside, it’s not easy to do anything! Just resisting the lightning strikes is tricky enough,” Xu Mingyang said.
Ye Fan frowned and said, “Take our time. There’s no rush. Plus I’m not sure that the heavenly fire is inside. But whether it’s inside or not, it would be great if we could go deep into the center of the bamboo forest. Maybe lightning strike fluid can be found.”
”Lightning strike fluid? What is that?” Bai Yunxi asked.
”A kind of lightning fluid formed by the liquefaction of heavenly thunder and lightning. It is a very good thing for lightning/thunder spiritual root cultivators,” Ye Fan said.
Bai Yunxi nodded and said, “Oh.”
Ye Fan set up their cave residence in the outskirts of the Heavenly Thunder Bamboo Forest.

T/N: *Author said earlier (Chapter 190) that there are two layers of seals on the Profound Dragon Seal, but I guess she either forgot or she means here that both layers have been dissolved.
