Chapter 2204 - 2200: Trapped Ye Fan

Nu Ying wanted very much to go back and check on Shun’s situation, but Xi He’s conditions made her feel it was hard to refuse.

In the end, she chose to go with Xi He. This, for her, was a relatively good outcome, as she also needed protection now and hoped that someone could protect her when she was attacked by Ye Fan.

"I agree to go with you," Nu Ying finally said.

"You’re being prudent. If you don’t go with me, it would not be good for you," Xi He said, then looked into the distance, "I now need to return to the Pan Gu Secret Realm, you’re coming back with me!"

This time, she wasn’t speaking in a negotiating tone but almost in a commanding one.

Although Nu Ying was unwilling in her heart, she chose to endure silently. She had no courage to stand up to Xi He now and had to swallow her pride and enter the Pan Gu Secret Realm with Xi He.

At this time, the situation inside the Pan Gu Secret Realm was greatly improving. Sang Yuan, Hai Wuzi, and others were organizing the cultivators to build dams to intercept the floods and repair the damaged areas of the land. They were also organizing the relocation of the people of Hanju Country to Tiancheng.

"As you can see, even an ordinary creature is struggling to survive. With your current abilities, although you don’t have to worry about being destroyed by some natural attacks, you must realize that your life is no longer under your control!"

When Xi He spoke, it was as if she was an aloof superior, and the tone of her words made Nu Ying very displeased.

But Nu Ying had no choice; she could only suppress her feelings because she needed Xi He’s protection now.

"What exactly do you want to do now? Don’t you plan to search for Ye Fan?" Nu Ying asked.

"Why should we look for Master?" Xi He retorted, "Master is likely now under the sway of the power of the tribulation. With my abilities, I can’t challenge the power of the tribulation, so I sensibly go to help Master accomplish simpler tasks. If you’re unwilling, you can simply leave me, and I won’t stop you."

Nu Ying said, "I want to go protect Shun now. Can you come with me?"

"Impossible," Xi He replied firmly, "Shun’s life and death have nothing to do with me, why should I go with you? What I’m doing now is helping Master, who didn’t tell me to protect Shun. If you want to go, that would mean abandoning my previous proposal. I won’t stop you, you can leave anytime."

Nu Ying was now very angry; she felt she was being led by the nose by Xi He but could do nothing about it.

"What if Ye Fan dies? Do you think Ye Fan has what it takes to fight against the creator from higher realms? Those tribulation forces could easily put Ye Fan into a situation of eternal damnation!" Nu Ying said.

"That’s not something we can be concerned about," Xi He said, "Even if we worry, what can we do? Do you think I have the capability to help Master with anything? It’s best to be sensible and complete the tasks we can handle now. If you keep nagging, don’t blame me for being ruthless towards you!"

Although Nu Ying was very angry in her heart, because of her status and her current need for Xi He’s help, she could only act as if she had no backbone, needing someone else’s protection desperately.

But Nu Ying still thought angrily in her heart, "Just you wait, I will make you pay one day!"

...

...

Ye Fan was still trapped in the cage of illusions.

More accurately, he was in another universe where humans lived, and within this universe, Ye Fan’s power was very frail. He couldn’t even feel his power having much impact on this world.

He still remembered what the woman had said to him before, to leave here, he had to destroy the world in front of him.

"How can I leave here?" Ye Fan kept observing the surrounding environment, trying to find a way to break free from there, but it seemed to him like an immense challenge, making his way out felt more difficult than ascending to heaven.

"I can feel my strength still exists, but after I exhibit my cultivation, it has no effect in this world. This is what frightens me. Where did my power go?" Ye Fan realized that the power he exerted could not vanish without a trace. The only explanation was that what he saw and felt did not match the actual space he was in.

As Ye Fan was attempting to find some flaws, the voice of the previous man came through: "This kid is still here, why doesn’t he break out himself?"

"Are you dumb? If he did that, it would mean he wants to cause killing. This kid has always considered maintaining the stability of beings as his highest honor," said another man.

"Then he may never be able to leave here. Now his original world has begun the fourth round of tribulations, and it’s believed it will soon be destroyed!" said the man, "Is his insistence on principles more important, or are the people he wants to protect more important? Haha, this is an interesting thing!"

Ye Fan shouted angrily, "What are you talking about? To what extent has the fourth round of tribulations reached?"

No one answered him. It was as if the two couldn’t hear Ye Fan speaking and just continued their conversation. Their tone was infuriating to Ye Fan.

"It’s really fun, creating some beings and watching them slaughter each other. How interesting is it? If we could find some way to completely destroy these creatures, that would be even more interesting. Do you know what he is doing?" the latter man asked.

"Who cares, it’s not for us to manage. We are just spectators!"

With that, the two’s conversation could no longer be heard, and Ye Fan’s heart was filled with anger once more.

Ye Fan exclaimed furiously, "If you have what it takes, come out and fight me!"

Amid the turbulence of his internal strength, waves of power cascaded out, which resulted in the powerful force of the fourth round of tribulations.

Ye Fan didn’t know that at this moment, the Pan Gu Secret Realm was once again plunged into turmoil, which was all the result of his angry outburst.

However, Ye Fan quickly realized a problem; his consciousness seemed to have been manipulated, and even his emotions were somewhat beyond his control.

"No, I can’t rage like this. The powers pouring out of my body are disappearing into who knows where, not manifesting in the illusionary space before my eyes. It is likely they are being vented into the universe, and this might be the upper creator’s attempt to use me. How can I allow these people to succeed?"

Ye Fan calmed his mind, and he could only continue using his spiritual power to find cracks in the world he was facing, waiting for the chance to break free from there.
