Ye Tianfan listened to their conversation and thought to himself, "Should I sabotage their plan? If not, the righteous path will be in real danger."

  Ye Tianfan had just such an idea when a powerful divine sense descended upon the cave, making it difficult for Ye Tianfan to breathe. He didn't dare move at all.

  Ye Tianfan's divine consciousness has already reached the level of a late-stage Tribulation Transcender. The cultivation of the Great Vehicle period is absolutely impossible for someone to appear in such a situation, Ye Tianfan knew that this person must be a loose demon, only he didn't know which Tribulation cycle's loose demon.

  Before long, a person with a faint aura of magic arrived at the mountain cave. As soon as he came here, he stood on top and several elders immediately got up and knelt down: "Greetings, Master Shu, please take a seat. What brings you here?"

  The Demon Gate values strength, so the scattered demon didn't refuse and directly sat in the top position, then said: "This time I came on behalf of the Sect Master, to protect the law when refining the Soul Refining Flag. The Sect Master is worried that someone will come to make trouble at that time."

  Ye Tianfan knew he was in trouble as soon as he heard the man's words, and that he had no chance of disrupting their plan. After all, his current cultivation level would only allow him to escape from this loose demon at most, and there was no hope of destroying it.

  It was impossible to save them, so Ye Tianfan quietly walked away, but he felt sorry for not being able to rescue those people.

  However, Ye Tianfan had no way out either. As soon as he made any noise, the scattered demon would discover him, and it would be hard for him to escape at that time.

  Soon, Ye Tianfan followed the original path and arrived at the place with three entrances where he had encountered when he came in. After another half an hour, he reached the exit.

  When he came out, Ye Tianfan found that the sky was gradually darkening and it was almost night. Ye Tianfan softly called out "Shi Jie".

  A figure suddenly emerged from a clump of grass beside him. As he approached, it turned out to be none other than Xie Qianqiu.

  Xie Qianqiu was about to speak, but Ye Tianfan said directly: "Sister, this is not a place to stay for long. Let's leave quickly and talk about it later." After finishing speaking, he quickly pulled his sister out.

  The two quickly returned to the inn where they lived in the city, and both of them went directly to Ye Tianfan's room.

  As soon as they returned to their quarters, Xie Qianqiu asked, "Young Master, how's the situation inside? Were you injured?"

  Ye Tianfan shook his head and said, "I'm not injured, Master Sister. However, I discovered many important secrets of the Demon Gate." Ye Tianfan then told his master sister everything he had heard and seen.

  After listening to Ye Tianfan's account, Xie Qianqiu worriedly said: "If they really succeed in refining that Soul Refining Banner with the demonic path, won't our righteous path be finished?"

  Ye Tianfan explained: "It's not that exaggerated, these people from the Orthodox School aren't pushovers either, they'll have a way to deal with it."

  "Also, I will send a letter to our Muling Sect and Huoshen Sect to see if they can stop the Demon Gate's plan, and also to see if we can rescue those who have been captured."

  "What's the delay, hurry up and write it! If you're delayed, it won't be good!" Xie Qianqiu urged hastily. Ye Tianfan couldn't help but think that his master sister had a side that worried about the country and its people.

  Then Ye Tianfan said: "Sister, I'm about to write it now. Didn't I just tell you a moment ago? So that you wouldn't worry."

  Having said that, Ye Tianfan took out paper, ink and pen, and started writing on the table. Soon, both of them finished writing.

  Xie Qianqiu saw Ye Tianfan finish writing and hastily put it in an envelope, quickly running out, Ye Tianfan knew his master sister was going to send a letter.

  However, Xie Qianqiu's delivery of the message was not done by himself, but rather he went to a secret outpost set up by Muling Sect and had someone there deliver it.

  Each sect had set up secret places for sending messages in many places, and there happened to be one here, not far from the inn. Soon, Xie Qianqiu returned with a message.

  Qianqiu Xie looked much more at ease now, apparently having arranged for someone to deliver the message, and it would probably arrive soon.

  Now that this matter has been settled, Ye Tianfan and the others were discussing whether to continue going to those dangerous places. After all, the Great Demon War seems to be not far away now.

  If we continue on like this, people might think that the two of us are running away with our tails between our legs from a fierce battle. But if we go back, won't it be a case of starting strong but ending weak?

  Finally, Ye Tianfan and Xie Qianqiu discussed it for a while and continued to move forward. As for the discovery of the demon cave here, let's see how those Orthodox sects handle it.

  After two people stayed in this inn for a day, they continued on their way, and the direction remained unchanged, heading towards the Huǒshénzōng.

  After about five or six days of traveling, the two saw another city and decided to go into the city to gather some information and see how their sect would handle things after they told them the news.

  Two men entered the city and directly chose a teahouse, went in and ordered a pot of tea, preparing to listen for any useful information.

  Two people waited for a while, and then a table of people started talking about the matter of that magic cave. So Ye Tianfan and others hurriedly pricked up their ears to listen in, and there were not a few people who did so like Ye Tianfan.

  Only one of them, a man who looked like a small-time hoodlum, spoke up: "I heard that the three major sects have discovered a demon cave, do you know about it?"

  Another person who looked a bit older said: "I've heard something about it, but I'm not very clear. Can you tell me what you know?"

  As for the third person at that table, he was a tall and fat man, who was completely clueless about the topic of conversation between the two people, and didn't understand their words at all.

  Like a small, hunchbacked person said: "I understand it's relatively clear. It's said that when the three major sects found that demonic cave, they had already started slaughtering those people caught in the suburbs. It's said they were refining an evil and powerful magic artifact."

  The little runt of a man paused on purpose at this point, wanting to tantalize everyone's appetite, and only continued speaking when he saw that everyone was getting impatient.

  "All he saw was that they said: 'When the righteous and evil meet, it's naturally a fierce battle. However, because both sides weren't well-prepared, the evil side thought no one would discover this place, so they didn't prepare much. The righteous side knew about the situation here, but also didn't take it seriously.'"

  At this point, the little scoundrel stopped again, suddenly giving Ye Tianfan an urge to beat him up, and others were the same.

  "This person also found himself incurring the wrath of everyone, so he hastily said: 'In the end, neither side could emerge victorious without suffering heavy casualties. The demonic sect was afraid that more righteous cultivators would arrive, so they snuck away. The righteous cultivators were powerless to pursue them further. In the end, only 70 or 80 people who had not been killed were rescued, and except for a few individuals, they all became either mentally disabled or insane. According to those who retained their sanity, the demonic sect members not only forced them to engage in incest with strangers but also with their own family members, and even with animals. Those who refused were subjected to brutal torture, including being infested with insects and worms. Some people eventually collapsed, becoming mindless zombies."

  Everyone present was outraged after hearing his words, and Ye Tianfan and Xie Qianqiu were also extremely angry. If they weren't afraid that their strength wasn't enough, Ye Tianfan really wanted to teach those people a lesson.
