Chapter 373 Waiting For An Opportunity To Strike

Although the feeling of being rejected was rather awkward, the ones who had come seemed to have no intention of leaving.

"How much longer do you think it will take before the Holy Son will be able to come out?" One of the people asked urgently.

"This time, the Holy Son of my house has gotten a golden opportunity, and his powers have grown by leaps and bounds. Now he is trying to break through to a Ninth Grade Spirit Paragon." The guard said. "If he succeeds, then it won't be long before he attains the divine rank."

"The Holy Son is only just over the age of eighty, yet he is becoming a Ninth Grade Spirit Paragon… So that means by the time he hits a hundred, he would definitely be able to attain the Divine Rank!"

"Humph. So, it is precisely because this moment is so crucial that he must not be disturbed. No one will know when exactly he will be able to break through the rank, so please do not continue to wait here." The guard said.

"But…"

"I guess you guys must be the followers of the Young Masters of the Cloud Cave? Why don't you just serve your young masters properly, instead of coming here to look for our Holy Son all the time?" The other guard said, because he had seen them before.

"We were asked by the Young Masters to come here." One of them said. "We were actually about to be killed by the Divine Devil Valley and the Moonbow Clan, but I'm not sure why we received news recently that Zhong Hai and Zhong Quan have both been killed, and everyone else who had gone with them had also been completely wiped out, and not a single one returned."

"Oh? So you're saying that the Divine Devil Valley and the Moonbow Clan did not die, and they had in fact destroyed the others?" The guard asked. In the past month they had just been watching over the Holy Son and were unaware of the other goings-on around. They were completely unaware of that the entire external situation had changed completely.

"It's not just that, but many members of the Sage Pavilion have also been killed, although many of them are from the minor sects."

"What? They actually dared to kill people from the Sage Pavilion?" The guard exclaimed loudly, and received glares from the other guard. If he made so much noise he might just disrupt the Holy Son.

"What's going on?" A voice cut in, and from the cave behind, a handsome man clad in white emerged, looking at them.

"Holy Son, have you come out?" The guards bowed respectfully as they saw Ye Yu Fan.

"Mmhm." Ye Yu Fan nodded, and repeated his question. "You said that there were others who killed the disciples of the Sage Pavilion. What exactly is going on?"

"Your Holiness, it's like this…" The two people from the Cloud Cave explained the situation to him, and re-emphasised how the disciples of Sage Pavilion had been killed, before explaining the reasons behind their visit. "Your Holiness, our Young Master said that the Divine Devil Valley has an expert like Yun Yi, and now only someone like you can go against him."

Ye Yu Fan heard what they had said, and was not at all shaken or affected by their last few statements, although he was very infuriated hearing what happened, because members of the Sage Pavilion had been killed. He was now the highest ranking person there, as well as the most powerful. If he was not concerned with the deaths of the Sage Pavilion members, how could he lead the rest of them? What's more, taking advantage of this opportunity to destroy and annihilate the Divine Devil Valley and the Moonbow Clan was an order from above, and he absolutely had to fulfil this order, if not they would not have given him a Sacred Spirit Beast for a contract beast. In fact, the Sacred Beast was given to him for the purposes of destroying the Divine Devil Valley and the Moonbow Clan!

"Where are they right now?" He said sternly.

"We have already managed to grab hold of their positions." The members of the Cloud Cave said.

"Where is the lord of your cave?"

"It is about ten thousand kilometers from here."

Ten thousand kilometers wasn't that far. But Ye Yu Fan did not look for those lords personally first, but he sent them back to the places were the majority of the Sage Pavilion members would be, which was about half a day's journey from where they were.

"Holy Son, you're out!"

"Congratulations to the Holy Son for coming out!"

"Yu Fan, congratulations on your promotion!" Someone who was close to Ye Yu Fan walked over saying, smiling happily.

"Yes, Le Qi. What happened at the Sage Pavilion?" Ye Yu Fan asked.

Le Qi looked at the numerous tents on the plain, and said, "The others from the Primordial Lands, except those who are dead, are all here. (not sure how to translate)

"Did many die?" Ye Yu Fan furrowed his brows.

"Yes. Quite a few hundred." Le Qi's expressions became extremely troubled. "Because the number of those who died was great the last time, in this time we did not let the rest go out."

"Do they have a lot of people?" Ye Yu Fan asked.

"No. It's still the same people from the past. But the Divine Devil Valley and the Moonbow Clan have come together. And it also looks like they have others from the lower Capitals." Le Qi replied.

"From another capital? How many of them?"

"A few tens of them."

"That's just a few people."

"But those few people are extremely powerful. They're even more powerful than those from the Primordial Lands. Just a few of them could completely overthrow the entire battle!" Le Qi said. "What's more is that…"

Ye Yu Fan saw that Le Qi had started to hesitate, and knew that he was not sure of what he was about to say. "And what?"

"And I heard that the Divine Devil Valley address one of those people as "Young Master"". Le Qi siad, after mustering his own courage.

"What? Is what you're saying true?" Ye Yu Fan looked so gentle, that although he was shocked, his expressions of shock and horror looked endearing.

"When I heard that myself, I was in shock as well. Especially because this Young Master of the Divine Devil Valley had always been compliant, and I was wondering how he became someone of such a low-class. But when I thought about it again, the Divine Devil Valley said that they have two young masters. Could this be the other young master?" Le Qi guessed.

"Possibly." Ye Yu Fan concurred with this possibility, but he carried some suspicions in his heart. "But when did the Divine Devil Valley have two young masters? And even more so, having someone from the lower capitals?"

"I guess only those from the Divine Devil Valley would know." Le Qi said.

"Ignore that. Now we only have two months before we leave. We must destroy every single one of them before we leave this place. If not, it would destroy the plans of the Pavilion."

"We have gotten ahold of their current locations. Previously they had Yun Yi, this Pinnacle Spirit Paragon, so we never laid hands on them and waited for you." Le Qi said. "Now we will summon the rest of them here."

"Alright."

Not far from the plain they were at, Sima You Yue, Yun Yi and the group of them stood facing the wind.

Buzzzz---- A bee from far away flew close to them, and landed in Sima You Yue's palm, buzzing to her as if it was speaking to her. After some time, Sima You Yue raised her palm, and the bee flew away again.

"You Yue, what news is there?" Guo Pei Pei asked.

Sima You Yue smiled, saying, "Ye Yu Fan has come out, and the members of the Sage Pavilion are gathering the others to come against us."

"So we should seize this opportunity before they have gathered to attack, and destroy them all." Fatty Qu said.

"There's no need to rush." Sima You Yue patted Fatty Qu's shoulders. "We should wait, and wait till they have all gathered, and lay a collective attack on them all so that no one can escape!"
