Chapter 1246: Chapter 1246: Airspace Lockdown! Mirror Moon Palace Mutation!
Early the next morning, Ye Fan, Yu Linglong, and others had just arrived at the border of the Mirror Moon Palace when guards riding flying creatures appeared in the sky to stop them.
“Sorry, everyone, the entire airspace around the Mirror Moon Palace is under control, and you cannot fly flying creatures here. If you need to pass through the Mirror Moon Palace area, please land and proceed on foot,” the guards instructed.
“Oh?” Ye Fan frowned and asked the guards, “May I ask what is happening in the Mirror Moon Palace?”
The guards shook their heads, “We don’t know either. We are just following orders. The entire airspace over the region is restricted.”
Yu Linglong looked displeased. Ye Fan tried to urge Tai Cang to force its way through the air space. However, just as Tai Cang neared the restricted area, it discovered an ancient and mysterious power enveloping the entire area.
As soon as Tai Cang approached, its body was eroded by that magical force, causing it to let out a miserable cry.
Ye Fan also sensed the fluctuating ancient aura and was shocked. It seemed the Mirror Moon Palace had used some ancient formation to seal the entire area, a method beyond Ye Fan’s current capacity.
“Alright, let’s descend for now!” Ye Fan’s feeling of ominousness grew stronger.
But those responsible for enforcing this airspace restriction were just minor guards. Ye Fan had no intention of getting entangled with them. The important thing now was to quickly reach the core region of the Mirror Moon Palace and find out what was happening.
The core area of the Mirror Moon Palace was only about a thousand kilometers in diameter. Riding a Dragon Horse there would take just over an hour.
Ye Fan directed Tai Cang to descend outside the city, and he noticed rigorous inspections taking place there.
While inspecting, people seemed to be comparing several photos. Seeing the faces on those photos from a distance made the hearts of Ye Fan and Yu Linglong skip a beat.
“Brother Fan, are those photos pasted on the city walls us?”
Ye Fan frowned, nodded, and said, “They are! Wait a moment.”
Ye Fan had a rough guess that the Mirror Moon Palace was sealing off the area to prevent him and Yu Linglong from entering.
Ye Fan quickly rubbed his face and Yu Linglong’s a couple of times, altering their appearances, including Gong Shu’s. In the blink of an eye, the three looked like ordinary cultivators.
As for their martial power, Ye Fan and Yu Linglong did not make any special attempt to hide it.
When the three of them reached the city gates, a group of dozens of guards stopped them, “Halt, please submit to an inspection.”
The guards compared the photos on the memory stone with Yu Linglong and Ye Fan, finding no abnormalities, and then let them pass.
Yu Linglong worriedly turned to Ye Fan and asked, “Brother Fan, what on earth is happening in the Mirror Moon Palace? Is mom and grandma alright?”
Yu Linglong was also concerned about another issue; when they were in the secular world, her father, Yu Jianfeng, wanted to charge into the Immortal Domain alone to find her mother.
Although Ye Fan and the others participated in the Immortal Gate Conference early, who knew how her father was now?
If her father recklessly barged into the Mirror Moon Palace with such a grave situation, it would undoubtedly cause enormous trouble.
Ye Fan patted Yu Linglong’s shoulder and said, “Don’t worry, let’s get into the city, find a place to eat something, and also find out what’s going on.”
Ye Fan and his group quickly entered the city, settled down in a tavern in the bustling market. The tavern was buzzing with people talking and laughing.
“Have you heard? Over at the Mirror Moon Palace, there’s apparently a reorganization, and they’re conducting a sweeping search for cultivators with special cultivation methods. It’s said they’re being captured for refining.”
“No way! I heard the Mirror Moon Palace hasn’t changed hands, but their personalities seem to have changed, almost like they’ve been possessed by evil spirits.”
Hearing these whispers from the crowd, Ye Fan formed a rough guess. The Soul Hall had deeply infiltrated the entire Immortal Domain. Ye Fan had only exposed some black material about the Soul Hall previously, and already found that many sect leaders and core elders had been invaded by them.
It seemed the Mirror Moon Palace was in a similar situation!
While listening carefully to the conversations around, the tavern waiter approached their table, “You seem to be out-of-towners, what will you have?”
While speaking, the waiter carefully scrutinized Ye Fan and Yu Linglong, his gaze carrying an evaluative look.
Ye Fan smiled faintly, “Yes, just bring us some beef and your signature dish.”
As the waiter left, his eyes fell on the dragon-patterned ring on Ye Fan’s hand — Ye Fan’s well-known dragon-patterned ring.
“Sure thing, sir, please wait a moment.” The waiter responded, quickly heading towards the kitchen.
In the kitchen, the waiter bowed respectfully to a middle-aged man who appeared to be the boss, “Boss, I’ve confirmed those three have issues, especially that young man’s dragon-patterned ring; it matches the one described in the memory stone exactly. I suspect he has altered his appearance.
If I’m not wrong, these three are indeed the fugitives Ye Fan and Yu Linglong wanted in the memory stone.”
The boss nodded, “That’s what I think too.”
The waiter’s eyes flashed with a ruthless glint, “What do we do? Do we act directly or report them first?”
The boss knocked on the waiter’s head irritably, “Act directly? Are you crazy? Don’t you know Ye Fan’s strength? None of us, even combined, stand a chance against a single finger of his.
Just report the whereabouts of Ye Fan and Yu Linglong. We’ll take the reward we deserve. After all, we need to have the life to enjoy the money, right?”
Back at Qingyuan Sect, Ye Fan wiped out many sect experts. This tavern boss had enough self-awareness to know they stood no chance against Ye Fan, a Nascent Soul stage cultivator, and they wouldn’t mess with that trouble.
The reward for reporting Ye Fan was millions of crystal coins; just that information would suffice.
After Ye Fan and Yu Linglong finished their meal and left, they immediately realized something was off — someone was tailing them.
“Brother Fan, there’s a tail behind us.”
Ye Fan nodded, “I know, let them follow. Us entering the Mirror Moon Palace region isn’t supposed to be secretive. We were probably tracked since we left Qingyuan Sect.”
What was really happening in the Mirror Moon Palace, Ye Fan wasn’t sure, but it definitely involved the Soul Hall and evil spirits.
No matter how chaotic it got inside the Mirror Moon Palace, Ye Fan wasn’t too worried; his ultimate opponents were still the Soul Hall, evil spirits, and the Outer Realm Evil Demon!
Ye Fan wanted to see just what kind of storm they could stir up in the Mirror Moon Palace!
