The two elders built a friendship with the monkeys through food and were having a great time with them.
Several young monkeys simply squatted on the elders' shoulders, gnawing on the delicious food, and casually tucked golden chrysanthemums from their heads onto the elders' heads.
The two elders didn't mind, happily playing with chrysanthemums all over their heads.
They occasionally let out their signature laughter.
"Hehehe..."
"Hehehe... Hehehe..."
The senior sister sat on the ground, quietly feeding Yun Ming, a rare smile appearing on her usually serene face.
The second senior sister, with several Yun Ming perched on her, happily went to play with the elders and the monkey troop.
Her clear laughter mingled with the elders' strange chuckles and the monkeys' squawks, instantly livening up the mountaintop.
As if attracted by the commotion, small animals drinking water in the distance also curiously approached.
White rabbits.
Mountain pheasants.
Deer.
...
More and more animals gathered around them. The two senior sisters and the two elders quickly took out more food and distributed it.
Carnivorous animals were directly given demon beast meat, while herbivorous animals were given medicinal herbs.
Even a few small deer ate the pills produced by the second elder...
In short, the scene was exceptionally harmonious for a moment.
Ye Fan's heart stirred, and he took out his communication jade.
Such a warm scene would be a shame not to record.
Of course, recording was only one aspect.
At the same time, Ye Fan was also pondering which one to start roasting first...
"You ventured out of the city yourselves, unknowing of your fate. You've saved me a lot of trouble." A voice shattered the harmonious atmosphere on the mountaintop.
Ye Fan and the others turned to see a man in his fifties looking at them with ill intentions.
Behind him were dozens of subordinates with equally unfriendly expressions.
The lowest cultivation of the dozens of subordinates was at the Nascent Soul stage, and the leader's cultivation was even more unfathomable!
They were no match at all!
The small animals seemed to sense the hostility, and with a rustle, they all scattered.
"We had no enmity initially, but unfortunately, you provoked someone you shouldn't have!"
As soon as the Fifth Elder of the Zhenxie Sect finished speaking, his subordinates "whooshed" and darted out.
The two senior sisters were captured before they could even react, completely like two weaklings...
The two elders were in a similar state, subdued without any resistance.
If the Fifth Elder and his men hadn't intended to capture them alive, they would likely be corpses by now.
The Fifth Elder strolled towards Ye Fan.
Only this mortal without cultivation remained. This mission was truly too easy.
After taking the person back, he could have a pleasant exchange of cultivation experience with Wu Po Xie, and his cultivation would likely break through to a minor realm.
He felt a little happy just thinking about it.
Looking at the approaching Fifth Elder, Ye Fan pouted.
This was his first time in the Daliang Imperial City, and he had been a slacker all day since arriving, so he naturally wouldn't have made any enemies.
Now, an unexpected villain appearing to target him was clearly unreasonable.
But if it were the dog system playing tricks on him, then everything would become incredibly logical!
As expected!
After being so quiet for so long, it was just brewing a trap for him!
However, this routine seemed uninspired?
As expected, the dog system would pop out to deal with the villain when he was about to be captured, thus tempting him with power.
However, things deviated slightly from Ye Fan's expectations.
Even when the Fifth Elder's hand clamped onto his shoulder, the system remained silent.
Ye Fan was merely a mortal. Even without the Fifth Elder's deliberate exertion, his shoulder still hurt from the grip.
The dog system didn't pop out to cause trouble?
This was very un-dog-system-like?
Could it be that it had crashed too many times before and broken itself?
Thinking of this, Ye Fan's heart suddenly became excited.
Even his gaze towards the Fifth Elder carried a hint of anticipation!
Great!
This was a rare opportunity!
Who knew if this dog system was temporarily down or what, but missing this chance meant missing it forever!
Come on, kill me quickly!
If I die, I might be able to get rid of this dog system!
If you can truly kill me, I will be very grateful!
Ye Fan showed a joyous smile and calmly looked at the Fifth Elder.
Although he acted like a slacker every day, he was constantly on guard against the dog system's tricks.
This made him feel mentally exhausted.
If death meant release, why not die?
He had lived long enough anyway, and he had long since taken life and death lightly.
Seeing Ye Fan's smile, the Fifth Elder subconsciously frowned.
A normal person should show panic at this moment. Even if their disposition was firm and they didn't panic, they still shouldn't be smiling.
Did the other party have a backup plan?
Or was the other party deliberately luring him out of the city?
However, he quickly dismissed this idea.
When he followed them earlier, he had specifically checked, and there were no formations or traps on the mountaintop.
Furthermore, besides the targets, there was no one else around.
What was the other party's backup plan?
Just then, a ball of golden light suddenly appeared on Ye Fan's chest.
Unlike usual, this golden light was significantly dimmer, barely maintaining its form.
Seeing this, the Fifth Elder immediately released Ye Fan and retreated rapidly.
As expected, it was a trap!
Although there was no spiritual energy fluctuation emanating from the golden light, he still decided to proceed with caution.
Compared to the Fifth Elder's caution, the two senior sisters became excited.
It was all because Ye Fan usually appeared too much like a slacker, making them almost forget that their junior brother was a super expert!
Since Junior Brother Ye was making a move, they could just watch the show!
Ye Fan looked down, his brow furrowing.
It seemed the dog system was fine?
Why was its reaction so significantly delayed this time?
And he remembered that the dog system always gave prompts when it caused trouble before, but this time there was no movement at all.
Not only that, but the golden light was also much dimmer than in previous instances.
When things are abnormal, there must be a reason!
Ten seconds later, the golden light fully condensed.
Its luster also became much brighter than before.
The Fifth Elder clenched his right fist, preparing to strike again.
Although the golden light on the other party's chest still showed no spiritual energy fluctuations, his instincts told him this thing was not good.
Moreover, if the other party truly had the ability or a backup to deal with him, they wouldn't have waited this long!
His thoughts were indeed correct, but they were just a little bit too late...
The golden light instantly split into dozens of beams, shooting towards them!
Everything happened too fast. It happened so quickly that they had no time to react before being knocked off the cliff!
Those with weaker cultivation were vaporized by the golden light in mid-air. Those with higher cultivation only seemed to last a little longer...
As these cultivators died, the two senior sisters and the two elders were freed.
"Junior Brother, what realm are you at now?" asked the second senior sister, Zi Qing, blinking her large eyes curiously.
"Whatever you think it is, it is," Ye Fan replied casually.
After all, if he said he was a mortal, she wouldn't believe him, right?
Zi Qing immediately looked at Ye Fan with admiration.
Junior Brother is too strong!
Even the Soul Transformation stage wouldn't be enough to describe him!
Having such a powerful junior brother, she felt so proud!
Zi Bing gave Ye Fan a meaningful look.
Junior Brother, just how powerful have you become?!
Although I may not reach your heights in this life, I will still strive to catch up to your footsteps!
With Junior Brother being so formidable, I, as the senior sister, cannot lag too far behind!
In contrast, the two elders were much calmer.
Bad guys appeared, and Ye Fan killed them.
That was all there was to it.
Ye Fan looked down, scanning the ground around him.
"Ye Fan, what are you looking for?" asked the second senior sister, puzzled.
