"Your Highness the Saintess, although this matter was our fault initially, it's going too far for you to want to kill us!"
The three of them looked at Dai Qisi in anger.
They were Elders of the Church of Light, second only to Dai Qisi in status and power.
To want to kill them was simply a pipe dream.
Dai Qisi said, "I'm not joking. Elders, are you ready to meet your death?"
Yun Fan, seeing this, admired his fourth senior sister's decisiveness. Decisive and ruthless, this was the true way of the Ghost Valley Sect.
"It seems you truly intend to fight us to the death?"
The three looked at Dai Qisi coldly.
Dai Qisi said, "It's not a matter of life and death; it's that you must die!"
"Boasting! With just you, you think you can kill us? Dream on!"
The three elders were enraged, believing Dai Qisi's words to be fantasy. After all, being at a disadvantage was different from killing them.
"Attack!"
Yun Fan made the first move, followed closely by Dai Qisi.
"Seeking death!"
The three elders met them angrily.
At this moment, both sides clashed. Yun Fan was as fierce as ever, fighting two against one, completely suppressing two elders.
"Die!"
The next moment, Yun Fan charged at the two elders, his eyes filled with killing intent.
"With just you?"
The two elders were furious, not expecting Yun Fan to treat them like pushovers.
Just then, Yun Fan moved swiftly.
"Man and Sword as One!"
Although there was no cold glint, it didn't stop him from executing Man and Sword as One. A tree branch in his hand became a peerless weapon.
However, compared to a cold glint, its power was greatly diminished.
"Whoosh!"
The sword energy slashed through. Before one elder could react, Yun Fan pierced his dantian, and the tree branch broke within him.
"Ah..."
He let out a series of screams and fell to the ground, completely incapacitated.
"Sixth Elder!"
The remaining elder's eyes were filled with endless terror.
"Be careful, his strength is not simple!"
The Sixth Elder weakly warned.
Then, the remaining elder turned, looking at Yun Fan with apprehension.
Although he had used Man and Sword as One just now, it had consumed about a third of his strength. Yet, in Yun Fan's eyes, it was all worth it.
At this moment, there was only one elder left. In a one-on-one fight, even if the opponent unleashed a forbidden technique, he wouldn't be afraid.
Yun Fan said, "Your turn!"
"Kid, you're dead!"
The remaining Seventh Elder was enraged and immediately unleashed a forbidden technique. In an instant, he became incredibly powerful.
He was even slightly stronger than Yun Fan.
"Let me see how strong your Western forbidden technique is!"
Yun Fan proactively engaged him. At this moment, both sides entered a life-and-death battle.
The Fourth Elder, who was fighting Dai Qisi, was surprised that in such a short time, one of their teammates had already met his demise.
"Dai Qisi, how dare you kill an elder! The Pope will kill you!"
He roared at Dai Qisi.
Dai Qisi said, "As long as you all die here, who will know I killed you? Besides, you already violated the church's rules. I'm merely executing you on behalf of the Pope!"
At this moment, Dai Qisi was increasingly satisfied with Yun Fan. Only such a powerful man was worthy of her.
Without a doubt, Yun Fan was a perfect match. Not only was he powerful, but he was also so young. Such a man was fortunate to be her junior brother; otherwise, she wouldn't find him even with a lantern.
The Fourth Elder also unleashed a forbidden technique. With three against two, they were at a disadvantage, and one had already been killed. In a two-on-two situation, without using forbidden techniques, they had no chance of winning.
Dai Qisi had to be cautious.
Compared to her, Yun Fan was currently toying with his opponent.
The forbidden techniques of the West and the East shared a similar principle: elevating oneself to the extreme.
They overdrafted their power in advance. Therefore, at this moment, he avoided direct confrontation with the Seventh Elder, opting to fight and retreat.
Even if his opponent was in a better state now, what of it? In the all-encompassing eyes of the Ghost Valley Sect, his opponent had too many flaws.
If he were to unleash a forbidden technique, he was confident he could instantly kill his opponent in their peak state, but he didn't want to pay that price.
The Seventh Elder roared, "Kid, do you dare to fight me head-on?"
"No!"
Yun Fan replied dismissively.
"You..."
The Seventh Elder almost died of anger. However, at this moment, he could only go all out. Once his peak state passed, he would be the one to die.
"Light Forbidden!"
With the Seventh Elder's roar, the light power instantly enveloped the surroundings. Yun Fan felt his movements slowing down.
It turned out to be the influence of the light power.
Just as he was in a daze, the Seventh Elder rejoiced. Finding an opportunity, he attacked. At this moment, his goal was to deliver a killing blow to Yun Fan.
But who would have thought that as he approached Yun Fan, Yun Fan decisively counterattacked, piercing his body with a single move.
"How is this possible?"
He looked at Yun Fan in shock, unable to believe he would be defeated so quickly.
Yun Fan said, "You really are an idiot. Although the Light Forbidden can slow me down, it doesn't affect my strength at all. And you have to use more than two-thirds of your power to maintain the Light Forbidden, leaving only one-third of your power. What can you fight me with?"
"So, the flaw was here!"
The Seventh Elder's face turned ashen. He had always been confident that this move was invincible, as it was a forbidden technique created by angels.
It was then passed down to successive Popes and other core figures.
Unexpectedly, in Yun Fan's eyes, this move's flaw could be easily seen. His death was not in vain. On the verge of death, he finally understood how terrifying the Ghost Valley Sect was.
No wonder the Church of Light dared not attack China.
At this moment, he fell to the ground with a thud, his life extinguished.
Then, with another move, Yun Fan dealt with the Sixth Elder.
The battle between the Fourth Elder and Dai Qisi had also reached its climax. Dai Qisi's tactics were similar to Yun Fan's.
They both employed the strategy of toying with their opponents.
At this moment, the Fourth Elder seized an opportunity and unleashed the Light Forbidden, freezing Dai Qisi in place. Just as he was about to roar and attack.
"Bang!"
The next moment, the Fourth Elder's flesh and blood flew. It turned out Yun Fan had intervened decisively at that moment.
As he was dying, the Fourth Elder cursed Yun Fan, "You have no martial ethics!"
"Who the hell is talking about rules with you? Do you think this is a TV drama!"
Yun Fan kicked the Fourth Elder away.
At this moment, Dai Qisi looked at Yun Fan in shock. She had planned to help Yun Fan after she dealt with the Fourth Elder.
Unexpectedly, Yun Fan had come to her aid instead. Well, all three elders were killed by Yun Fan. This combat power was indeed unparalleled.
Yun Fan said dismissively, "Fourth Senior Sister, the combat power of these three elders is just average. If it were me, I could kill three with a forbidden technique!"
This was Yun Fan's confidence.
Hearing this, Dai Qisi replied, "Junior Brother, it's not that they are too weak, but rather too stupid!"
"What do you mean?"
Yun Fan asked, confused.
"Because from the beginning, these three old guys never thought of using the Sacred Light Array. If they had used the Sacred Light Array, you and I might not have defeated them so easily!"
Dai Qisi knew that the Sacred Light Array was a very terrifying formation of the Church of Light, which could be unleashed by two or more people.
Hearing this, Yun Fan smiled, "It's fine, they're dead anyway. What are your plans next, Fourth Senior Sister?"
Through this incident, Yun Fan could see that his fourth senior sister's influence in the West was already stirring. A storm had swept Dai Qisi into the center.
This conspiracy and plan were definitely aimed at his fourth senior sister.
Dai Qisi said, "Of course, I'm going back to the Church of Light to deal with that troublesome Holy Son!"
Although she said it lightly, in reality, she knew that dealing with the Holy Son would be very difficult. She could only suppress him.
Unless she could ascend to the position of Pope.
Yun Fan could see that his fourth senior sister was under considerable pressure, so he asked Dai Qisi, "Fourth Senior Sister, do you need my help?"
"Junior Brother, you are truly willing to help me?"
Dai Qisi asked, moved.
"Fourth Senior Sister, we are family. It's normal for me to help you and for you to help me!"
Yun Fan said to Dai Qisi.
Dai Qisi nodded, "With your help, things will be easier. I will definitely be able to ascend to the position of Pope!"
Yun Fan said, "I will definitely help you with this. When do we leave?"
"The situation is urgent, we leave immediately!"
Dai Qisi said.
"Alright!"
Yun Fan nodded. He had originally planned to go to Jiangnan, and after making arrangements, he would set off. He didn't expect things to be so urgent.
However, as things stood, there was no major issue. Going to the West was also normal, as the enemies he would face next were the ancient families.
Honestly, with his current strength, he wasn't enough to fight the ancient families. If only he could encounter another fortuitous encounter.
But fortuitous encounters were not so easy to come by.
...
Upon arriving in the West, Dai Qisi returned to check the situation first, while Yun Fan went to the Hell Organization.
If the Hell Organization was the strongest underground force in the West, then the Church of Light was like a divine existence.
However, these two forces had overt and covert cooperation. To put it nicely, it was cooperation; to put it bluntly, it was collusion.
As long as there was profit, they would collude. Otherwise, the Church of Light would never allow an organization like the Hell Organization to exist.
Although the Hell Organization posed no threat to the existence of the Church of Light, the Church of Light adhered to absolute rule.
Yun Fan's purpose for coming here was mainly to see his nominal mother-in-law, Lin Shufen.
With Yun Fan's arrival, a storm stirred up within the Hell Organization.
When Lin Shufen saw Yun Fan arrive, her eyes were filled with shock.
"Yun Fan, why are you here?"
Ellie, standing beside her, had a complex expression in her eyes. After all, the love蛊 had been snatched away by that woman Dai Qisi.
She was in a state of dejection now.
Yun Fan said with a smile, "Auntie, the matter concerning the Hidden Sects has been resolved!"
"What?"
Lin Shufen looked at Yun Fan in shock. How could she not know how powerful the Hidden Sects were? She had even prepared to return to help after her breakthrough.
She didn't expect Yun Fan to have resolved it.
"Yes! With the demise of Alliance Leader Zuo, the Hidden Sects have finally come to an end!"
Yun Fan nodded.
In Lin Shufen's opinion, for Yun Fan to have resolved the Hidden Sects, Ye Ji and Zhao Feiyue must have been the main forces.
Of course, in her heart, she was happy for Yun Fan. With two such loving women helping him, Yun Fan could have saved decades of effort.
It seemed that her daughter following him would definitely be secure in the future.
"It's just a pity that I haven't found any news about your uncle!"
Yun Fan said awkwardly. He had confidently promised Lin Shufen that he would find her husband, but unexpectedly, there was no news.
Hearing this, Lin Shufen said, "It's not your fault. Perhaps he was never part of the Hidden Sects. Your uncle's origins are truly mysterious!"
"Mysterious?"
Yun Fan was a little confused.
Lin Shufen said, "More than twenty years ago, I went to Yaowang Valley. On the way to Yaowang Valley, I encountered him severely injured!"
"So I saved him. He was in a very bad state at the time, seemingly having just fought a fierce battle with an enemy. The enemy's strength was formidable, and they had heavily injured him. However, judging by the traces of the battle, the two sides must have fought for a long time, and the opponent was clearly also injured, otherwise, they wouldn't have escaped early!"
Lin Shufen said, "Later, while taking care of him, we developed feelings for each other and got together. Shortly after, in order to completely heal his injuries, I stole the healing treasure of the Ten Thousand Alliance to treat his wounds!"
Hearing this, Yun Fan nodded and then asked, "At that time, had the battle between the Ghost Valley and the Hidden Sects already begun?"
"No, it's just that the Ten Thousand Alliance hadn't noticed it at the time. It wasn't until Alliance Leader Zuo was injured later that they discovered the healing treasure was missing. Then they launched a large-scale investigation, and it traced back to me. But that's a story for later. Your uncle left after his injuries healed."
Hearing this, Yun Fan immediately asked, "Did your uncle say anything when he left?"
Lin Shufen said, "He said he was going to kill someone. After killing that person, he would come back to pick us up, mother and daughter. Unfortunately, twenty years have passed, and he still hasn't returned. I even suspect that he might have been..."
Lin Shufen couldn't continue at this point.
At this moment, Yun Fan said, "So that's how it is. Was your uncle very powerful at that time?"
"Very!"
Lin Shufen said confidently, "I can be sure that if he were at his peak, even Alliance Leader Zuo back then might not have been his match!"
Hearing this, Yun Fan finally understood why he couldn't find any clues about his uncle. It seemed that the other party might be from an ancient family.
However, this also proved that outside of Yaowang Valley, it was indeed a place of conflict.
But this was also normal. After all, many people didn't want to pay a huge price to seek elixirs from Yaowang Valley, so they often ambushed outside Yaowang Valley, waiting for someone to obtain the elixirs and then robbing them.
Those who obtained the elixirs naturally wouldn't hand them over, as one elixir might exhaust their life's savings.
From this, it could be seen that Yaowang Valley was definitely a place overflowing with wealth, similar to hospitals in later generations.
However, the reason why Yaowang Valley could remain safe without high-level experts guarding it was simple: not only did the experts who had benefited from Yaowang Valley disagree, but even the robbers wouldn't agree.
Yaowang Valley held a very high status among the Hidden Sects.
At this moment, Yun Fan said to Lin Shufen, "Auntie, don't worry. If there's a chance, I'll help you investigate further! Now that the crisis is resolved, aren't you planning to go back?"
Hearing this, Lin Shufen said, "I will go back. After you and Tianxin get married and have children, I'll come back to help you raise them!"
Yun Fan gave an awkward smile. If he hadn't come to help his fourth senior sister this time, perhaps this day wouldn't be too far off.
Let's hope his fourth senior sister can successfully deal with her enemies and ascend to the position she desires this time.
At this moment, Ellie asked Yun Fan, "Who is your fourth senior sister?"
"Dai Qisi!"
Yun Fan said directly.
"What?"
The two women exclaimed simultaneously, surprised that Dai Qisi was Yun Fan's fourth senior sister. Under their confused gazes, Yun Fan explained the situation to them.
At this moment, Ellie felt even more heartbroken. So they were senior and junior siblings. It seemed she was the clown all along!
It seemed there was no hope of turning things around. After all, their relationship was even better than she had imagined. However, she was not one to give up easily, as she was not someone who admitted defeat easily.
What the few of them didn't know was that Dai Qisi had already entered the center of a vortex, and she was the protagonist, unable to break free.
