Free Web NovelChapter 1829: Chapter 1825: Searching
Ye Fan and Shen Yan suddenly disappeared, much to the surprise of Nuwa and Xi He. With Shen Yan also missing, Nuwa found herself in a precarious position. Despite the nature of her avatar, Nuwa’s cultivation level was still significantly lower than Xi He’s.
After all, this was merely a doppelgänger of Nuwa.
"Nuwa, let’s see who can protect you now!" Xi He was furious. With Ye Fan and "Li Zhaojun" gone under her watch, she had failed her mission to protect Ye Fan. If Ye Fan was still alive and came back, Xi He would be held accountable.
She harbored a murderous intent towards Nuwa’s avatar, wanting to kill the one responsible for her failed task, to quench the hatred in her heart.
Nuwa suddenly exploded with cultivation, and angrily shouted, "Xi He, do you think you can kill me? Watch how I teach you a lesson... Ah!"
Before she finished speaking, Nuwa felt an extraordinary force strike her. Without a shield, her cultivation was instantaneously obliterated, and she was sent flying into the sky like an ordinary person devoid of cultivation.
Xi He used her inner spiritual energy to crush Nuwa’s spiritual energy, turning Nuwa into a plaything at Xi He’s mercy, able to be killed or tortured as Xi He pleased.
"Nuwa, you’re asking for death!" Xi He raged, relentlessly tormenting Nuwa’s avatar whose cries of pain echoed through the sky, audible to the entirety of Sky City.
Sang Yuan appeared in Sky City, and upon seeing a woman being tortured in the sky, sensed something was amiss. Entering the council chamber and finding Ye Fan and "Li Zhaojun" absent, she felt she was on the brink of a crisis.
"Xi He, what happened? Why did the young master suddenly disappear? Where is the mistress now? Don’t you know?" Sang Yuan confronted Xi He, demanding answers, aware of the pressing responsibility.
Sang Yuan aimed to shirk her own responsibility.
Xi He sneered, "The master disappeared because of this woman! Why would you question me instead of her?"
Sang Yuan confirmed her suspicions and exclaimed, "The young master vanished? What about the mistress? The young master and mistress were together. You were supposed to guard and protect them. How did an accident occur suddenly? Explain why the young master disappeared!"
"Why are you in such a hurry?" Xi He continued tormenting Nuwa. "The master is merely missing, not dead. That woman might not be the mistress. Don’t you have a Blood Oath with the master? You’re still intact here, yet you only question me. If I wanted to kill you, you’d be dead now!"
Sang Yuan was infuriated, feeling victimized by Xi He, wanting to further question her but fearing Xi He might act rashly and kill her too.
She could only flick her sleeve and say, "Since the young master is missing, you should find him instead of torturing this woman. You do want to disturb the entirety of Sky City, right? If you don’t find the young master and something happens to him, I won’t spare you either!"
Having said that, Sang Yuan left angrily.
This infuriated Xi He further, feeling irked by someone weaker than her daring to threaten her, compelling her to continue tormenting Nuwa’s avatar...

Xi He first imprisoned Nuwa’s avatar in her illusion, then left Pan Gu’s secret realm to search for Ye Fan.
Her first stop was to go to the Immortal Realm.
From Xi He’s perspective, the most likely place Ye Fan would go was the Immortal Realm. The time-space boundary between the human and immortal realms suggested Ye Fan might have fled to the Immortal Realm at the most dangerous moment to temporarily hide. Ye Fan controlled elemental power, equating to time-space manipulation; if Ye Fan entered the Immortal Realm, Xi He couldn’t sense him. freewebnovel.cσ๓
Upon entering the Immortal Realm, Xi He immediately searched for Ye Fan’s whereabouts, but unfortunately, the realm was vast, leaving her essentially without a clue.
"What now? If the master encounters danger and it lingers, he might die, jeopardizing my own safety. I can’t believe I’d perish now!" Xi He cared little about Ye Fan’s life or death, concerned more for her safety since Ye Fan’s death meant she’d join him in death.
She aimed to find Zhang Tian Daoren, who was the leader in the Immortal Realm. Finding him could aid in locating Ye Fan.
Xi He’s cultivation far surpassed Zhang Tian Daoren’s.
After a lengthy search in the Immortal Realm, she failed to find any trace of Ye Fan or Zhang Tian Daoren until, after about an hour, she finally discovered a clue, finding Zhang Tian Daoren’s location.
It was at a desolate mountain in the Immortal Realm. Upon her arrival, Zhang Tian Daoren was long deceased.
"How can this be? Zhang Tian Daoren is dead?" Xi He couldn’t believe her eyes. The master of the Immortal Realm, highly cultivated, was dead, peacefully, without signs of struggle, and no damage around the corpse, confusing Xi He. freёweɓnovel.com
After inspecting Zhang Tian Daoren thoroughly, Xi He determined his internal breath was disrupted, a swift fatal strike, a technique beyond ordinary cultivator capabilities, seemingly executed by some mysterious power.
"Such prowess might be beyond even the master’s. Who killed Zhang Tian Daoren? With few left in the Immortal Realm, failing to uncover clues means the realm may need to be destroyed altogether, unsuitable for human cultivators!" Xi He worried internally.
At that moment, she sensed several immortals approaching, evidently seeking Zhang Tian Daoren’s clues.
Xi He used spiritual energy to conceal herself as the immortals arrived by Zhang Tian Daoren’s corpse. After examining it, they exclaimed, "Look, it’s Zhang Tian Daoren! What happened?"
The group wasn’t certain Zhang Tian Daoren was dead, yet Xi He recognized they lacked the capability to kill him. How he died remained undetermined.
Xi He thought, "Most likely, it’s the power of heavenly tribulation! Nothing else could be so potent!"
