Tianji Pavilion’s Pang Hai!
Although he had been extremely low-key over the years, as the overseer of an absolute force hidden within the Great Xia, he was recognized by almost everyone at the Martial Arts level!
The duty of the Tianji Pavilion itself was to monitor and defend against the outbreak and harm of the Evil Cult.
Therefore, it was only logical for Pang Hai to appear here.
At the same time, he also attracted almost everyone’s attention.
The rolling aura of death and the black mist in the demolition area instantly weakened significantly.
By this time, the Martial Arts Families that had been lurking around the outskirts of the demolition area also noticed the changes inside.
“What’s going on? Why has the aura of the Evil Cult inside suddenly weakened?”
“Could Tianji Pavilion have some method to deal with the Evil Cult? If the Evil Cult doesn’t erupt and break out, how can we have the chance to get those fragments?”
“Deal with the Evil Cult? Heh, you’re thinking too much. As far as I know, no one can thoroughly deal with the Evil Cult! Even if the Buddhist Sect intervenes, they only drive the Evil Cult away!”
“Moreover, it is said that not only Flower Capital but many other places around the world have shown signs of Evil Cult outbreaks! Alas, this world is starting to become turbulent!”
The people outside were discussing fervently, and the conclusion they reached was that Tianji Pavilion simply couldn’t have the means to thoroughly deal with the Evil Cult. What they needed to do now was to wait!
News from the scene spread rapidly!
Originally, some of the strong practitioners from Martial Arts Families planned to sneak in after nightfall, but at this point, they couldn’t wait any longer and were all gathering towards the demolition area.
…
Heart of the demolition area!
After the Five Paths Evil Slaying Formation was dropped, there were no longer any roars emanating from the old well at the center of the light field; almost no movement at all!
And most crucially, whenever the Evil-Purging Formation began the process of purification in the past, Ye Fan could always gain some vital Martial Strength from it.
But when Ye Fan dropped the sixth Formation and the purification began, no force was fed back to him.
The Evil Cult, legendary for its unbounded terror, was completely annihilated by the Evil-Purging Formation just like that?
Although Ye Fan had some predictions about the power of his Evil-Purging Formation, he hadn’t expected that just by activating it, he would totally exterminate the Evil Cult?
Ye Fan took a step, ready to approach the old well!
“Pavilion Master, be careful!” Pang Hai hurried forward a step, blocking Ye Fan and quickly moving ahead.
Yamada Huizi also stepped in front of Ye Fan, “Master, please wait, let your servant check it out first!”
While speaking, Yamada Huizi took out a white jade plate from her body, which shimmered with a faint radiant glow.
Yamada Huizi tied the white jade plate with a rope, then released it down the well, and after a few dozen seconds, she pulled it back up.
The white jade plate now had a layer of black light gathered on it. Yamada Huizi sniffed the white jade plate close to her nose, then, exhaling a long breath, nodded and said, “Master, the Evil Cult below has temporarily lost its vitality! Shall your servant go down first to check and confirm everything is alright before you come down?”
Ye Fan curiously looked at the white jade plate in Yamada Huizi’s hand. Was this white jade plate really so magical? It could even detect the vitality of the Evil Cult?
Seeing Ye Fan staring at her white jade plate, Yamada Huizi hurriedly began to explain, “This was left by my mother, saying it could help avoid some dangers for the master! I’m not clear on the specific principle!”
Ye Fan nodded!
Ye Fan naturally trusted Yamada Huizi.
The Fragment Number 2 had already confirmed that Yamada Huizi was a descendant of the Divine Gate left by his mother and possessed the Jade Pendant Fragment due to her loyalty.
“Let’s go down together!”
Ye Fan had now confirmed that his Evil-Purging Formation did have a deterring effect on the Evil Cult.
Moreover, Ye Fan also possessed the Teleportation Trait, so in case of any danger, he could immediately teleport away with Yamada Eiko!
“This old servant will accompany you!” Pang Hai said with a frown, and he turned to the other four maids, “You all stay up here on lookout, and do not let anyone approach!”
Whoosh!
Ye Fan, Yamada Eiko, and Pang Hai leaped down into the old well!
The depth of the old well was not great, only a few dozen meters, and it was already dried up without any water.
However, upon reaching the bottom of the old well, they were surrounded by cold stone walls but did not discover anything out of the ordinary.

Where exactly were these so-called members of the Evil Cult?
Could it be that those from the Evil Cult were merely some kind of consciousness, Phantom Bodies?
“Master, over here!” While Ye Fan was still releasing his Perception to scan the surroundings, Yamada Eiko had already taken out the White Jade Plate and approached one side of the stone wall. After tapping it several times with her hand, she determined the location.
Crack!
A surge of Qi Force flowed from Yamada Eiko’s hand, activating her Martial Arts Qi to shatter the side of the stone wall!
As the stone wall crumbled, a wide passageway appeared before them, with bright light shining through!
A world beyond the old well?
This scene even astonished Ye Fan!
Did Yamada Eiko know too much?
If it weren’t for the Fragment of the Jade Pendant that verified Yamada Eiko’s identity, Ye Fan would genuinely start to doubt her motives!
What was a Japanese like her doing by his side, after all?
“Master, this way, please!”
As Yamada Eiko led the way at the front, ready to take Ye Fan into the passage, Pang Hai reached out and tugged at Ye Fan’s sleeve, casting a glance at Yamada Eiko.
Pang Hai also began to harbor suspicions about Yamada Eiko.
Although there were many rumors about the Evil Cult circulating in the outside world, in reality, very few truly understood the Evil Cult.
And Yamada Eiko knew too much—unnaturally much!
“It is of no concern!” Ye Fan said with a slight smile. Yamada Eiko’s strength was merely that of a Martial Venerable, while he himself possessed the power of an Eighth Rank Martial Emperor, and Pang Hai was also a Martial Emperor Fifth Rank. With two powerful Martial Emperors, should they fear any trickery from Yamada Eiko?
Ye Fan and Pang Hai followed Yamada Eiko through a passage about ten meters long and emerged into a massive hall!
The entire hall was filled with Luminous Pearls, lighting it up as if it were broad daylight!
The whole floor was inlaid with intricate patterns of various Luminous Pearls, as well as Dragon Locking Nails!
But what shocked Ye Fan and the others the most was the giant skeleton that spanned several tens of meters within the hall…
The skeleton had a strange shape, resembling an enlarged tiger, yet it also bore some resemblance to a dragon…
The black mist and Aura of Death were emanating from this very skeleton!
Although the Aura of Death on the skeleton was very weak at the moment, detecting the arrival of Ye Fan and the others, the skeleton still emitted an aggressively invasive aura. The undulating black mist seemed to want to envelop them… However, the ancient golden energy that surged across the floor easily suppressed the skeleton’s black aura…
“Master, according to my mother’s description, this should be the physical form of those from the Evil Cult! Regrettably, my mother said she lacked anything to destroy the skeleton, so all we could do was to strengthen the Formation to seal it… Sigh!”
