"Distance is but an illusion, and the illusion is but distance..."
As Ye Fan's words echoed, Azure Spirit appeared to understand yet remain confused. Lacking knowledge of formations, he could not grasp the meaning behind Ye Fan's statement.
Ye Fan smiled; this was the formation he had set up, and naturally, it was under his control.
Without his permission, the Azure Fish Clan Leader could not enter the formation.
Ignoring the shock of the Azure Fish Clan members and Azure Spirit, Ye Fan focused his thoughts.
Before the Azure Fish Clan Leader, an invisible wave seemed to part instantly to the sides.
Thus, Ye Fan and the figures of the Azure Fish Clan finally came into view.
At that moment, the Azure Fish Clan Leader understood. Without hesitation, he stepped into the formation.
Looking at Ye Fan, he exclaimed in astonishment, "Senior, you truly leave me in awe. The intricacies of this formation are something I have never seen in my lifetime."
"With this formation, we of the Azure Fish Clan will surely be safe here."
Ye Fan nodded and said, "As long as you stay within this formation, even ordinary powerful beings, let alone those at the Ascension Stage, will not detect your presence."
Feeling the profundity of the formation set by Ye Fan, the Azure Fish Clan Leader nodded in agreement.
However, Ye Fan's expression turned serious as he said, "But just to be safe, I will employ a tactic to divert trouble."
“Diverting the calamity east?” the Azure Fish Clan Leader stared at Ye Fan in confusion. “What does that mean, senior?”
Ye Fan replied, “If we all hide here and do not go out, it is inevitable that the Heavenly Heart Sect, Sky Edge Pavilion, and White Jade Dragon Palace will conduct a massive search. As long as I appear in the outside world and let them see the Ascension Token in my hand…”
“Then their attention will not be on your Azure Fish Clan. Once this period passes, your Azure Fish Clan will be safe.”
Upon hearing this, the Azure Fish Clan Leader's expression changed. “Senior, doesn’t that put you in danger?”
“Indeed! The Heavenly Heart Sect, Sky Edge Pavilion, and White Jade Dragon Palace are too powerful,” Azure Spirit said. “Why don’t you stay here with me for now? We can deal with it if they really find us later.”
Ye Fan smiled and said, “If I stay here and they find me, it will be too late!”
“But…” The Azure Fish Clan Leader and Azure Spirit looked worried and were about to speak.
However, they were interrupted by Ye Fan. “Don’t worry; I have my ways to handle this.”
Ye Fan’s tone was firm. Although facing the Heavenly Heart Sect, White Jade Dragon Palace, and Sky Edge Pavilion was indeed dangerous, it was clearly impossible for him to just hide here.
Seeing Ye Fan’s determination, the Azure Fish Clan Leader and Azure Spirit swallowed their words.
The Azure Fish Clan Leader deeply bowed to Ye Fan and said, “Senior’s great kindness is something our Azure Fish Clan will never forget. If you ever need anything from us in the future, please feel free to ask. I and the entire Azure Fish Clan will certainly do everything we can.”
“Elder Clan Leader is being too serious,” Ye Fan replied. “I have already said that this matter arose because of my Ye Family; it is only right for me to act this way.”
"Now I will pass on the method to control this Concealment Array to you. It will be up to you to personally manage this Great Formation. Remember, unless absolutely necessary, do not let the clan members leave this place," Ye Fan said with a serious tone.
He then extended a finger, and in an instant, a beam of spiritual light shot forth, directly entering the mind of the Azure Fish Clan Leader.
The Azure Fish Clan Leader closed his eyes slightly and quickly grasped the method to control the Great Formation. He then nodded solemnly at Ye Fan and said, "I will certainly remember your words, Senior."
"Good, then I shall take my leave."
Ye Fan glanced at Azure Spirit and said, "Little girl, focus on your cultivation."
With that, he surged out of the Great Formation and vanished from everyone's sight in an instant.
Watching Ye Fan depart, the Azure Fish Clan Leader couldn't help but feel a deep sense of awe.
Ye Fan gave him an impression that was even more powerful than Ye Jiuchong, exuding an air of mystery and confidence.
Seeing Ye Fan leave, Azure Spirit felt emboldened and couldn't help but pout, "He looks just like a seven or eight-year-old child but keeps calling me little girl. How ridiculous!"
"Azure Spirit, don't speak carelessly. With Senior's cultivation level, he must be someone who has lived for over a thousand years. The reason he appears this way may simply be due to some peculiar preference of his," the Azure Fish Clan Leader reprimanded sternly upon hearing Azure Spirit's words.
At this moment, not far from Coral Ridge, a vast group of Demon Tamers was approaching.
Rough estimates suggested there were at least three to four thousand of them.
Being able to serve the White Jade Dragon Palace was an unparalleled honor for the Fallen Star Ancestor.
Thus, he had gathered nearly all the Demon Tamers from Falling Star Cave.
Although the cultivation levels of his Demon Tamers were somewhat lower, this could still demonstrate his loyalty and the importance he placed on this task, couldn't it?
In addition to the Demon Tamers from Falling Star Cave, there were many powerful Demon Tamers who stood at the forefront alongside the Fallen Star Ancestor.
Of course, the one with the highest cultivation was none other than the Spiral Ancestor, who had reached the Initial Stage of Ascension.
"We have arrived."
The Fallen Star Ancestor pointed ahead at an area filled with coral.
The Spiral Ancestor and the other powerful Demon Tamers all nodded in agreement.
"Surround the entire Coral Ridge! Not even a fly should be allowed to escape," the Fallen Star Ancestor suddenly commanded loudly to the Demon Tamers from Falling Star Cave.
"Yes, Cave Master."
The entire Demon Tamer group from Falling Star Cave responded in unison, their voices booming like thunder, creating a tremendous shockwave.
Then, their figures quickly spread out, directly surrounding Coral Ridge.
"Let's go take a look," said Spiral Ancestor, waving his hand casually.
A mere Coral Ridge, just a young brat, was nothing in the eyes of Spiral Ancestor with his cultivation level. If it weren't for the order from Falling Star Cave on behalf of the White Jade Dragon Palace, summoning the nearby powerful beings, he wouldn't even bother to intervene.
He wouldn't pay any attention to a character like Fallen Star Ancestor either.
"Alright, alright, Ancestor, please go ahead," Fallen Star Ancestor quickly smiled and gestured.
The other powerful Demon Tamers around them also nodded with smiles on their faces.
Among them were several Demon Tamers at the Tribulation Stage and Great Accomplishment Period. However, compared to Spiral Ancestor, they were still not worth mentioning.
Spiral Ancestor nodded lightly, his expression proud as he took the lead and stepped forward.
In just a few steps, they arrived at the entrance of Coral Ridge.
Looking inward, the Fallen Star Ancestor furrowed his brow slightly and asked curiously, "Strange, why is there not a single shadow? Did they all run away at the first sign of trouble?"
"That can't be! This is the lair of the Azure Fish Clan. Do they really value their lives so little that they would abandon their home?" another powerful Demon Tamer shook his head.
"What are you babbling about? The Azure Fish Clan is nothing to worry about. We can just charge in. As for that brat the White Jade Dragon Palace wants, I'll personally take care of him," the Spiral Ancestor said lightly as he glanced into Coral Ridge.
"Exactly, what Spiral Ancestor said is right. With so many of us strong fighters here, we can easily wipe out a mere Azure Fish Clan. Let's just go in; if they dare to resist, we'll kill them all."
"Alright, let's follow Spiral Ancestor's lead and charge in."
"Kill! No matter what schemes these little fish have, they will be ruthlessly crushed before our overwhelming power."
"Let's go, kill them all..."
As soon as the Spiral Ancestor spoke, a chorus of agreement erupted.
"Good, then let's charge in," the Fallen Star Ancestor shouted in agreement.
They regarded the Azure Fish Clan with utter disdain.
"Listen up, you lot! Make sure no little fish or shrimp escapes from here. Once we complete the task assigned by the White Jade Dragon Palace, we'll use these little Azure Fish as our feast and drink for three days and nights."
"Rest assured, Cave Master. With us here, not a single fish or shrimp will get away," the Demon Tamers from Falling Star Cave promised with invigorated expressions upon hearing the Fallen Star Ancestor's orders.
"Good."
The Fallen Star Ancestor nodded vigorously, brimming with confidence as he followed the powerful Demon Tamers, including the Spiral Ancestor, directly into the Coral Ridge.
However, as soon as they stepped inside, the scene before them suddenly changed.
The Fallen Star Ancestor exclaimed in surprise, "Hey, where did the Golden Spirit Child go?"
"Leech Ancestor and Grandpa Bei are also missing...!!!" another voice chimed in.
"What is going on?"
Suddenly, a strange occurrence unfolded.
The entire Coral Ridge seemed to erupt with chaos as they entered.
A tremendous rumbling sound echoed around them.
As they stepped further in, all the formations instantly activated in an instant.
Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh—!!!
Within the Great Formation, sharp blades of unmatched brilliance suddenly shot out at high speed.
The air was thick with chaos as countless blades rained down upon the crowd.
"Ah!"
"What the hell!"
"What is this?"
"Help, help me..."
The cries of terror merged into a cacophony, as powerful Demon Tamers found themselves gripped by fear.
Many were pierced through the heart by the myriad of swords, even the Nascent Souls were shattered by the sword energy.
Their forms and spirits obliterated.
"It's a formation, this is a formation!"
The Fallen Star Ancestor roared in sheer terror.
After the relentless Sword Rain, layers of formations were activated one after another.
Some fell into an Illusion Array, driven mad in an instant.
Others were trapped in a Killing Formation, their desperate roars echoing in despair.
In an instant, chaos erupted.
"What’s going on?"
Outside Coral Ridge, the Demon Tamers from Falling Star Cave looked bewilderedly towards the location of Coral Ridge.
After their Cave Master and the prominent figures entered, a brilliant shield of Radiant Light suddenly illuminated Coral Ridge.
The figures of all the prominent figures, including their Cave Master, vanished completely.
"Who cares? With our Cave Master and so many big shots inside, what could possibly happen?" said a captain of the guard from Falling Star Cave, glancing dismissively at the glowing circles that had suddenly appeared within Coral Ridge.
"True," his companion, a Demon Tamer, nodded in agreement.
With so many influential figures stepping into Coral Ridge, there was no need for concern.
However, in the next moment, their eyes widened in shock.
Their Cave Master, the Fallen Star Ancestor, suddenly burst out, his face filled with despair as he screamed and cursed in a fit of rage.
"Oh my god, what the hell!"
“Spiral Ancestor, you idiot, you’ve doomed me!”
“God! Please save me!”
“Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh——!!!!”
Amid the desperate cries of Fallen Star Ancestor, waves of sword energy sliced through the air, instantly shredding his body into countless fragments.
Within the Great Formation, like Fallen Star Ancestor, all the powerful figures were now crying out in despair!
At this moment, Ye Fan appeared not far from Coral Ridge.
A cold smile played on his lips as he quietly observed the scene.
