After Ye Fan and the others left, two heads popped out from a nearby alley.
"I didn't expect Ling'er's demonic energy to be so terrifying..." Hong Ying patted her chest, sighing with lingering fear. "It's probably comparable to those lords... No, possibly even above them!"
"Sister, have we been discovered by her?" Lu Ying asked worriedly. "Should we continue to keep watch? It feels a bit dangerous..."
"We've probably been discovered..." Hong Ying sighed. "But since they didn't attack us, they must not have taken us seriously at all. Our lives should be safe."
"Then should we continue with our mission?" Lu Ying asked nervously.
"That's not for us to decide. Let's report it first..." Hong Ying sighed. "In any case, let's go back."
On the other side.
Several figures quietly dispersed with the crowd and eventually entered a secluded courtyard.
The group sat around a table, the atmosphere incredibly heavy.
"I didn't expect them to annihilate the Qinglang and Liehuo gangs with just a wave of their hand..." a man said with lingering fear. "Hall Master, what should we do next?"
The others also looked expectantly at the Hall Master, awaiting his reply.
"Their Golden Core cultivation seems to be a facade. With our Hall's strength, we probably can't deal with them." The Hall Master said in a deep voice. "Let's send the message up first and see what the headquarters plans."
As the Hall Master spoke, he took out a communication jade and began sending the message.
"You guys." After sending the message, the Hall Master ordered, "Keep an eye on their whereabouts these few days. Report immediately if there's any movement!"
"Yes!" The summoned individuals nodded and left.
Somewhere in Geshan City.
"Third Brother, what are you smiling about?" a man asked indifferently.
The man was completely shrouded in a large, gray-black cloak, and two faint green lights could be seen from within the dark hood.
The Third Brother he mentioned was dressed in the same way.
Coupled with the strange and dark indoor furnishings, it looked like some kind of cult organization...
"Old Fifth, we've received news from the Fourteenth District branch. The person looking for the jade pendant has appeared."
Third Brother's voice was hoarse.
His laughter sounded like metal scraping glass, making one's skin crawl.
"Appeared?!" The green light in Old Fifth's eyes flickered fiercely.
"Yes, but they annihilated the Qinglang and Liehuo gangs in one move. They can't handle it." Third Brother said, taking out a jade pendant and rubbing it. "Moreover, the woman beside them uses black true qi, which seems to have some connection with the demonic path."
The jade pendant in his hand was exactly the same as the three that Ye Fan's granddaughter had!
The only difference was the absence of Ye Fan's printed signature, making it clearly a replica.
"Third Brother..." Old Fifth paused. "Do you think this Ye Fan... truly has news of the Ancestor?"
Just a few days ago, they had received a bombshell: a newcomer named Ye Fan was everywhere, searching for the whereabouts of the Ancestor's jade pendant!
Unfortunately, Ye Fan had only arrived recently, and they hadn't had time to figure out his background.
"Perhaps Ye Fan really has news of the Ancestor, or it might just be a coincidence." Third Brother lightly tapped the tabletop. "We can't jump to conclusions before meeting him."
"It's been so long..." Old Fifth whispered. "Is the Ancestor... truly still alive?"
As soon as he said this, the temperature in the room instantly dropped!
"Old Fifth, I'll pretend I didn't hear that this time." Third Brother's tone was icy. "If there's a next time, don't blame me for disregarding our brotherhood!"
"Yes!" Old Fifth quickly replied, his body trembling slightly.
"Have You Ci come here." Third Brother ordered faintly.
Old Fifth quickly got up and left. After a while, he returned with another person wearing a cloak.
"You Ci, go to the Fourteenth District branch." Third Brother ordered in a deep voice. "Go and probe Ye Fan's background. If you have absolute certainty, capture him."
You Ci nodded silently and turned to leave. Da Feng Novel Network
"Oh, right." Third Brother seemed to remember something. "Ye Fan also has two spirit pets. Bring them back as well."
You Ci nodded again and moved to leave.
"Third Brother, do those two spirit pets have anything special about them?" After You Ci left, Old Fifth asked curiously.
"According to the people from the branch, those two spirit pets can speak human language even before they've transformed." Third Brother explained. "Perhaps they'll be useful for our research."
"I see." Old Fifth nodded as if he suddenly understood. "Should we also notify the demonic path forces in the Fourteenth District?"
"Those guys always stick together. Besides, the other party just arrived in Geshan City not long ago, so they're probably not their people." Third Brother gently shook his head. "Those cowards are probably still hiding in the shadows observing."
Afterward, silence fell upon the room again.
Although they didn't know Ye Fan and the woman's specific cultivation levels, they weren't worried about the other party being too strong at all.
If they were truly that strong, the master behind Geshan City would have already made a move.
As for hiding their cultivation in front of that person?
There were indeed some who thought highly of their own cultivation and tried. However, they all ended up being hung on the flagpole!
Thinking of the master behind Geshan City, Third Brother couldn't help but feel a chill run down his spine.
No one knew his specific identity or origin.
They hadn't even seen him before.
Geshan City had been established for hundreds of thousands of years.
No matter what your identity was before you arrived, even if you were an unforgivable being, as long as you came, you were a person of Geshan City.
Although Geshan City allowed entry but not exit, it also meant that outsiders could not come in for revenge.
Joining Geshan City to resolve personal grievances was permissible, but seeking revenge and then leaving was not!
Over these hundreds of thousands of years, many people had come to seek revenge, including numerous Void Refinement stage powerhouses, and even some Nascent Soul stage overlords.
But those people all disappeared in the end.
Geshan City still stood there...
The master behind Geshan City was truly terrifying.
So terrifying that just thinking about it sent shivers down one's spine...
In the courtyard.
As soon as they arrived home, Ye Fan looked at the two demons with curiosity.
"Big Brother..." Shan Ji was a little guilty under his gaze and said weakly.
Banana Lord was clueless and looked at Ye Fan with confusion.
Well...
Let's assume that action was a stare...
"It's only been a few days, and you've actually improved so quickly?" Ye Fan smacked his lips. "Don't tell me you have the bloodline of some ancient great demon?"
"Oh!" The little demoness hit her left palm with her right fist, looking at the two demons with suspicion. "It's one thing for your cultivation to break through so quickly, but you've even come up with ultimate moves?"
