Sister-in-law: I’m really not a fool anymore

The next morning, just as Ye Fan, Yu Linglong, and the others arrived at the border of Mirror Moon Palace, guards riding flying birds appeared in the sky and stopped them.

"Excuse me, everyone, the airspace over the entire Mirror Moon Palace area is under control, and flying on birds is not allowed. If you need to pass through the Mirror Moon Palace area, please land on the ground."

"Hmm?" Ye Fan frowned and asked the guards, "Could you inquire what happened at Mirror Moon Palace?"

Several guards shook their heads. "We don't know either. We're just following orders. The entire airspace above the Mirror Moon Palace ground interface is under control."

Yu Linglong's expression was very unpleasant. Ye Fan tried to activate Taicang, attempting to force his way through this airspace. However, as soon as Taicang approached this sealed area, it discovered that the entire area seemed to be permeated with an ancient and mysterious power.

Tai Cang only got close, but his body was corroded by that strange power, and he couldn't help but let out a scream.

Ye Fan also sensed the ancient aura emanating from the fluctuations and was greatly alarmed. Mirror Moon Palace had apparently used some ancient, ancient formation to seal off the entire area. This method was clearly beyond Ye Fan's current capabilities.

"Okay, let's go down first!" Ye Fan's ominous feeling grew stronger and stronger.

However, those responsible for defending the airspace were just small fry. Ye Fan didn't intend to get entangled with them here. The important thing now was to get into the core area of ​​Mirror Moon Palace as soon as possible and find out what had happened.

The core area of ​​Mirror Moon Palace is only about 1,000 square kilometers in radius, and it would take at most a little over an hour to get there by riding a dragon horse.

Ye Fan commanded Taicang to descend from the sky to the city on the ground, where he found that a strict inspection was underway.

As those people checked, they seemed to be comparing several photos. When they saw the figures in the photos from afar, Ye Fan and Yu Linglong's hearts skipped a beat.

"Brother Fan, is that photo of us on the city wall?"

Ye Fan frowned, then nodded and said, "Exactly! Please wait a moment."

Ye Fan already had a rough idea in his mind: the reason why Mirror Moon Palace was so sealed off was probably to prevent him and Yu Linglong from coming.

Ye Fan quickly reached out and pinched Yu Linglong's and his own faces a couple of times, and also made some changes to Gong Shu's appearance. In the blink of an eye, the three of them had transformed into ordinary cultivators.

As for their internal strength, Ye Fan and Yu Linglong did not make any special effort to hide it.

When the three arrived at the city gate, a group of dozens of guards stopped them. "Halt, please submit to inspection."

After carefully comparing the photos on the photo stone with those of Yu Linglong and Ye Fan, and finding nothing unusual, the group was allowed to pass.

Yu Linglong asked Ye Fan with a worried expression, "Brother Fan, what exactly happened at Mirror Moon Palace? I hope Mother and Grandma are alright?"

Moreover, Yu Linglong was also worried about something else. Back in the mortal world, her father, Yu Jianfeng, had planned to fight his way to the Immortal Realm alone to find her mother.

Ye Fan and the others participated in the Immortal Sect Conference ahead of schedule. I wonder how my father is doing now?

Now that such a major event has occurred at Mirror Moon Palace, if Father were to rush in rashly, it would likely cause him immense trouble.

Ye Fan patted Yu Linglong's shoulder and said, "Don't worry, let's go into the city first and find a place to eat something, and at the same time find out what happened." Ye Fan led the group into the city quickly, found a tavern in the middle of the bustling market and sat down. The tavern was bustling with noise, and various voices of conversation and laughter could be heard constantly.

"Have you heard? It seems that the Mirror Moon Palace has changed its personnel and started searching the entire region for powerful cultivators with special techniques. It is said that they have all been captured and are to be refined."

"No way? I think I heard that the Mirror Moon Palace didn't change its personnel, but their personalities seem to have changed, as if they've been possessed by evil spirits."

Listening to the whispers around him, Ye Fan had a rough idea in his mind: the Soul Palace had infiltrated the entire Immortal Realm very deeply. Ye Fan had only revealed some of the Soul Palace's dirty secrets before, and he discovered that many sect experts and core elders had already been invaded and infiltrated by the Soul Palace.

It seems that Mirror Moon Palace has encountered the same situation!
As the group listened intently to the conversation of the other customers, the waiter quickly approached them. "Gentlemen, are you from out of town? What would you like to eat?"

As the waiter spoke, he carefully looked Ye Fan and Yu Linglong up and down, his gaze filled with scrutiny.

Ye Fan smiled faintly, "Yes, just bring some beef and your signature dishes."

As the waiter left, his gaze was fixed on the ring on Ye Fan's hand—Ye Fan's signature dragon-patterned ring.

"Alright, please wait a moment, sir." The waiter replied and quickly walked towards the kitchen.

In the back kitchen, the waiter bowed respectfully to a middle-aged man who looked like the owner and said, "Boss, I just saw it clearly. Those three people are definitely suspicious, especially the dragon-patterned ring on the young man's hand. It's exactly the same as the one marked on the recording stone. I suspect he changed his appearance."

If I'm not mistaken, these three people in front of me should be Ye Fan and Yu Linglong, the ones wanted on the recording stone.

The boss nodded. "That's what I think too."

A ruthless glint flashed in the waiter's eyes. "Then what should we do? Should we take action directly or report it first?"

The boss smacked the waiter on the head, somewhat annoyed. "Attack? Are you crazy? What kind of strength does Ye Fan possess? Don't you know? All of us in the entire tavern combined are probably no match for even a single finger of his."

"Quickly report Ye Fan and Yu Linglong's whereabouts, and we'll collect our due rewards. It's not enough to earn money; we also need to be alive to spend it, right?"

When Ye Fan was at the Qingyuan Sect, he wiped out so many powerful figures from various sects. The tavern owner was quite aware of this; they were only at the Nascent Soul stage, and even combined, they were no match for Ye Fan, so he didn't want to risk his life.

The Mirror Moon Palace is offering a reward of ten million crystal coins; all they need to do is report Ye Fan's whereabouts.

After Ye Fan and Yu Linglong finished their meal at the tavern, they immediately realized something was wrong as they left – someone was secretly following them.

"Brother Fan, there's a tail behind us."

Ye Fan nodded. "I know, let them be. Our entry into the Mirror Moon Palace territory wasn't exactly a secret. I'm afraid we've been watched ever since we left the Azure Origin Sect."

Ye Fan didn't know the specific truth about Mirror Moon Palace, but it was definitely related to the Soul Palace and evil spirits.

Therefore, no matter how chaotic things are inside the Mirror Moon Palace, Ye Fan is not too worried. Ye Fan's ultimate opponents are still the Soul Palace, evil spirits, and extraterrestrial demons!
Ye Fan wanted to see just how much trouble they could stir up in Mirror Moon Palace! (End of Chapter)
