Chapter 2167 - 2163: Defense of the Han Zhu Kingdom

Ye Fan was still inside the Hundred Immortals Building.

At this moment, accompanying him in cultivation were Xi He, Xuan Nu, and Sang Yuan.

Just then, a female cultivator under Sang Yuan entered from outside the Hundred Immortals Building and reported from afar to Sang Yuan: "Divine Envoy, news has just come in that there’s an issue with the defensive array in Han Zhu Kingdom. They’re requesting you to send someone over to maintain it!"

Sang Yuan suddenly opened her eyes. She didn’t immediately respond to the female cultivator outside but looked at Ye Fan with an inquiring gaze, saying: "Young Master, over in Han Zhu Kingdom, should we send more people there?"

"Han Zhu Kingdom? What’s that place? Is there another area within the Pan Gu Secret Realm that hasn’t been submerged by the flood?" Ye Fan asked.

"To answer Young Master, Han Zhu Kingdom is a human realm you’ve visited before. According to your instructions, many cultivators have been sent there to maintain a defensive array, ensuring no one can threaten the people of Han Zhu Kingdom. Many have been dispatched to maintain this array, even though there are fewer refugees there compared to here, there are still several hundred million people!" Sang Yuan replied.

Ye Fan frowned and said: "I didn’t expect such arrangements to have been made before. Why did I arrange for a defensive array in Han Zhu Kingdom? Wouldn’t gathering everyone in the Heavenly City be better?"

Sang Yuan glanced at Xi He and Xuan Nu nearby, saying: "The plan of Young Master, this servant dare not question casually. This is the instruction given by you, and this servant’s task is to follow Young Master’s orders!"

"Do you know the reason behind all this?" Ye Fan asked Xi He and Xuan Nu beside him.

Xuan Nu naturally didn’t want to answer Ye Fan. The current situation triggered many opinions within her, because Ye Fan’s cultivation method wasn’t ordinary; he cultivated through refining cauldrons.

This made her feel her status was low, and she harbored great opinions towards Ye Fan in her heart.

Xi He appeared calm, saying: "Because Master has some relations with the Empress of Han Zhu Kingdom; this is the reason for Master wanting to preserve Han Zhu Kingdom!"

"I see!" Ye Fan nodded, "Didn’t expect that I have women within the Pan Gu Secret Realm. What kind of person was I before? A man who leaves affection everywhere?"

"Not sure!" Xi He said, "Master’s affairs are not much related to us. We won’t interfere with whatever Master does. What Master does doesn’t affect us, so we won’t interfere with Master’s actions. As for how many women Master has around, only Master knows!"

Ye Fan showed a slightly helpless smile on his face.

Sang Yuan asked: "Then what arrangement does Master make?"

Ye Fan smiled mischievously, directly pulling Sang Yuan into his arms, saying: "If I am to go, then it’s better I go in person. It’s only a moment’s matter for me to go, more appropriate than sending others, and the Heavenly City also needs someone to maintain the defensive array, so I should go myself... but before that, I still have unfinished business to complete!"

For a moment, the temperature inside the Hundred Immortals Building seemed to rise a few degrees again. Sang Yuan re-entered a state of meditation, her mind now only occupied by Ye Fan, with no outside influences affecting her thoughts.

...

...

When Ye Fan brought Sang Yuan and Xi He to Han Zhu Kingdom, many gaps had already appeared in the defensive array of Han Zhu Kingdom.

Han Zhu Kingdom’s people were almost on the brink of destruction, but with Ye Fan’s arrival, he merely lifted his hand slightly, and the defensive array was replenished, furthermore, the flood could no longer penetrate the entire defensive array.

Sang Yuan looked with admiration, saying: "Perhaps only Young Master can suppress such a torrential flood, why doesn’t Young Master do so?"

"Because I can’t remember what I’ve done before! What’s the use of suppressing the flood now?" Ye Fan replied, "Even if I suppress the flood now, when the next heavenly tribulation comes, the flood will surge again, so it’s better to maintain the status quo. I don’t want these matters to trouble my mind!"

Xi He said nothing, only stating: "What is Master’s purpose for coming here?"

"I’m just trying to find some memories from the past, but for some reason, I still can’t recall past events. I don’t know what I was doing before. Now, what I’m doing is only following your directions, and I wonder what the meaning is behind all this when I don’t even know. That’s truly a sad thing!" Ye Fan seemed very helpless.

Sang Yuan pointed ahead, saying: "Young Master, that is the palace of Han Zhu Kingdom. It’s said there’s a temple there that worships you. Would you like to check it out?"

"No need, I can roughly feel it from here. I doubt that temple will help me recover any memories!" Ye Fan replied.

Xi He asked: "Did Master come here to meet some old acquaintances?"

Ye Fan ultimately shook his head, saying: "Everything here still feels unfamiliar to me, I don’t recall visiting here before. Even if the flood is suppressed, the survival space for the people is almost gone. Whether it’s food or mountains and rivers, they have been completely wiped out by the flood. How are they supposed to survive in the future?"

"They’ll find their own way!" Xi He replied, "At least, the Earth where Master was born hasn’t been much affected by heavenly tribulations!"

"Mm!" Ye Fan nodded slightly, "I don’t want to delve into so many things. What I need now is to find my memory; why can’t I still find fragments of my memory until now?"

Xi He and Sang Yuan did not respond to Ye Fan because they had no way to answer him.

Just then, a shadow appeared in the sky over Han Zhu Kingdom. This shadow was of a woman, and when she appeared before Ye Fan, he recognized her.

"You are... Ming Ye Shangren, I seem to remember you. After I woke up, you appeared before me!" Ye Fan said to the woman.

The newcomer was indeed Ming Ye Shangren, who looked at Ye Fan and sighed, saying: "Ye Fan, times have changed. I’ve already promised to help someone do something, from now on, our goals will differ, even be diametrically opposed!"

"Opposed to my goals? Do you wish to destroy the universe?" Ye Fan frowned.

"Say what you will!" Ming Ye Shangren replied, "I’m here to tell you, the person I’m helping is the reincarnation of the Nuwa you’re searching for. Now, I trust her and believe she can help me. Therefore, I am now your enemy, and you can kill me. Otherwise, I’ll help her kill you; we are enemies now!"

Ye Fan sneered coldly, saying: "I have many enemies, I don’t mind one more. If you want to kill me, come at me whenever!"
