Invincible Young Master in the City-Chapter 1574 - 1570: Li Zhaojun’s Substitute

Ye Fan returned to the Sky City with Xuan Nu and Chang Yi.

At this time, considering the time in the Pan Gu Secret Realm, there was less than a day left before his wedding with Li Zhaojun. To find Li Zhaojun, he must get a breakthrough from Xi He, but right now, he was still at a loss.

Ye Fan felt a bit troubled in his heart, but he did not lose his temper. At this moment, he did not go to see Qiao Feixuan and Ning Huwen, not because he lacked the courage, but because he didn’t know what to say when meeting them. He hated himself for not protecting Li Zhaojun well, resulting in her being manipulated by Xi He, making Li Zhaojun believe she was doing the right thing, only to end up under Xi He’s control, and now she was nowhere to be found.

"Ye Fan, what’s going on? Why haven’t I seen you since I arrived here? Didn’t you say you would come to meet me soon? Why are you only coming now? Also, when exactly is your wedding with Zhaojun taking place?"

Ye Fan directly saw Zhao Lina.

Since Zhao Lina did not appear in the images of several apocalyptic prophecies, she was not directly targeted by Li Zhaojun, thus becoming one of the few women who slipped through Li Zhaojun’s grasp.

This was Zhao Lina’s first time in the Pan Gu Secret Realm; she was not familiar with the surroundings. Upon her arrival, she was kept under house arrest and couldn’t leave, so she could only wait. When she grew impatient, Ye Fan finally returned, but at this moment, Ye Fan’s mood seemed very bad.

"Zhaojun has been kidnapped and her whereabouts are unknown. Don’t speak; there are some things I need you to comfort me with!" Ye Fan said, attempting to embrace Zhao Lina, but she pushed him away firmly.

Zhao Lina angrily retorted, "What do you take me for? Are you using me as a substitute because you can’t find Li Zhaojun? Step away!"

Zhao Lina was very angry. She finally saw Ye Fan, only to learn that Li Zhaojun was missing. Not only that, but Ye Fan even attempted to forcefully approach her. She didn’t hesitate to use threats, refusing any intimate behavior with Ye Fan.

Ye Fan looked at Zhao Lina, feeling somewhat disappointed himself.

He didn’t expect Zhao Lina to not understand his state of mind at this moment either. Ye Fan’s Pure Yang Spiritual Energy within him was already extremely agitated, and he didn’t know how to suppress the fire in his heart. The only way was to find the woman he loved, who could pacify the evil power within him.

"You..." Ye Fan looked at Zhao Lina. After a long time, he sighed, sat on a chair, and said, "There’s a lot I can’t explain to you, but now I have to prepare for the worst. If I can’t find Zhaojun, I will fight for my life with those who kidnapped her. I won’t miss any chance to kill her, even if it means my soul shattering in the end, it would be my choice!"

Zhao Lina frowned, "Ye Fan, what are you saying?"

Ye Fan sighed softly, "Forget it, rest here first. Since the time in the Pan Gu Secret Realm differs from Earth, my wedding with Zhaojun is actually very close. I will come to visit you afterward. There won’t be any delay in the wedding!"

...

...

After Ye Fan walked out of Zhao Lina’s residence, Xuan Nu was still looking at him, with a hint of anger in her eyes, seemingly blaming Ye Fan for not agreeing to her condition to awaken Pan Gu and Fu Xi.

"Elder, if you don’t mind, please wait for me for a while. I will then go with you to find Xi He. Not only will we find Zhaojun, but I will also help you save Lan Jing. I will not allow anything to happen to the women by my side!" Ye Fan’s mind was beginning to blur.

Xuan Nu scrutinized Ye Fan and said, "What’s wrong with you?"

Ye Fan waved his hand, indicating he was fine. Xuan Nu likely guessed it was related to Ye Fan’s cultivation.

Ye Fan understood his situation well. Just as Xi He had previously advised him, the elemental powers conflicted with Pure Yang Spiritual Energy. As a result, Xi He never formally cultivated elemental powers, only using certain methods to harness external elemental forces.

Unfortunately, Ye Fan, who cultivated both elemental powers and Pure Yang Spiritual Energy within the same body, after obtaining a very pure elemental power source from Xi He, his body had begun to struggle under the clash of the intense elemental forces and Pure Yang Spiritual Energy, severely disturbing his mind.

To fully calm down, there was only one way: for the Pure Yang Spiritual Energy within Ye Fan to prevail, completely expelling the elemental force. Xi He had tried once using her own body as a furnace, with good results. Unfortunately, Ye Fan did not heed Xi He’s advice and continued seeking Li Zhaojun in other dimensions, activating a large amount of elemental force, resulting in the evil energy within him nearly penetrating his bones and meridians.

Xuan Nu knew Ye Fan might be feeling unwell at the moment. She was experienced enough to roughly understand the changes in Ye Fan.

When Ye Fan met Sang Yuan, his eyes were already closed. The collision of elemental forces and Pure Yang Spiritual Energy within him compelled him to unleash earth-shattering power.

"Young Master, your current condition... seems like you must immediately find a cultivation furnace!" Sang Yuan said fearfully, "I’ll prepare a dozen female disciples for you to see if... it might alleviate your condition!"

"No need; I can still control myself for now, but I might need to leave the Pan Gu Secret Realm. I fear the forces within me might greatly influence the realm!" Ye Fan said.

Ye Fan knew that although using a furnace might release the powers stored within him, he didn’t want to use this method because all he cared about now was his beloved woman. If even Zhao Tianya wouldn’t understand and accept him, he wouldn’t touch any other woman.

Just then, Ye Fan sensed someone coming towards him from a distance.

He opened his eyes and saw a vision that seemed like an illusion; to his surprise, he saw "Li Zhaojun" walking towards him.

Ye Fan regained his composure and thought, "How is it possible? Zhaojun is clearly not here now, and whether she is under Xi He’s control, I don’t know. How could she return? This must be an illusion!"

In reality, the one approaching was not Li Zhaojun, but Huan’er, who Ye Fan had brought back from Jianghuo Star, looking almost identical to Li Zhaojun.

After arriving in the Pan Gu Secret Realm, Huan’er cultivated diligently day and night just to one day defeat Ye Fan. But upon hearing of Ye Fan’s return, she immediately thought of finding him for a "sparing" match, which was merely her youthful unwillingness to lose.

She didn’t know that her appearance was mistaken by Ye Fan for Li Zhaojun.

At this moment, the person Ye Fan longed for most was Li Zhaojun. When Ye Fan believed it was Li Zhaojun’s return, he became bewildered, walking step by step towards Huan’er.
