At this moment, Ye Tianfan could only slowly sneak around the demon. He dared not attack the demon now because, as the master had previously said, if the demon gets injured, it will unleash its evil energy. At that point, not only will its wounds heal, but the entire environment will become shrouded with evil energy.

Because if the evil energy erupts, even the ground will be contaminated. Once contaminated, when Ye Tianfan leads the demon elsewhere, this area of land will not be isolated by the array; it will be exposed to the grand array and begin to emit energy, which will pollute the array.

Evil energy pollution can't be dissipated just by dilution. The pollution involves the evil energy eroding the spiritual energy in the air, transforming the eroded spiritual energy into evil energy. The concentration of evil energy won't decrease; it will only increase. If a place becomes tainted with a little bit of evil energy and isn't purified promptly, over time, that little bit will multiply exponentially.

There was once a blessed land that served as a sect's stronghold. However, due to a trace of evil energy contaminating its core, the sect members failed to notice. By the time they did realize it, it was too late. Not only had the entire core turned into evil energy, but many disciples, after absorbing spiritual energy tainted with evil energy, transformed into demon-men over a large area.

This led to the sect's decline and the site becoming a forbidden zone. The entire core was polluted with evil energy, making sealing impossible, and purification would take over ten thousand years. No one wanted to waste their life there, so a hundred great masters from both the righteous and demon paths decided to expel the sect's entire stronghold from this space.

However, the expulsion was incomplete, and there is now a spatial passage leading to the expelled sect's site.

Because the location is no longer part of this world, it's not counted among the top ten forbidden areas. It's an unofficial forbidden zone that generally nobody wants to visit—there are no resources, nobody specializes in cultivating evil energy, and demon-men abound. It's likened to the Extreme West, offering no benefits except to cause trouble.

Ye Tianfan sneaked around East and West, irritating the demon until finally, the demon ignored him and rushed toward Master Pingchu.

Seeing this, Ye Tianfan was startled and took a couple of steps to the side, quickly moving outside the demon's five-meter range. Suddenly, the demon was trapped in place by the array surrounding Ye Tianfan.

The demon roared several times. Although it lacked wisdom, it still possessed instincts. Judging by its limited intelligence, Ye Tianfan couldn't stray too far; if he did, the demon would become immobile and locked in place.

Unable to act otherwise, the demon had to continue attacking Ye Tianfan to satiate its desire for combat and turn this annoying place into something it liked. If it could capture one person and turn Ye Tianfan into one of them, it would be much easier thereafter.

After all, the beginning is always the hardest. Once someone gets caught, the third and fourth aren't far behind.

However, Ye Tianfan was agile. The demon's speed was fast, but it was only fast in a straight charge; it couldn't turn well. Turning required braking and repositioning before continuing pursuit.

Relying only on the "Wind Walk of Miles" technique from the Ye Family's seventy-six skills, Ye Tianfan could easily outmaneuver the demon, not to mention he had arrays to stop the demon urgently.

Thus, Ye Tianfan led the demon in circles without suffering any harm.

Although the demon was strong, it was only formidable in direct combat. When evading like this, even someone of a lower realm could dodge it; of course, not for long, since demons never tire and once they fix on you, they won't back off until they or nearby targets are dead.

The demon will constantly pursue its target, while Ye Tianfan could leisurely outpace it thanks to his array that could immobilize it. If it were anyone else, they would need to dodge thoughtfully, lest they get hit in an instant.

Master Pingchu was nearly finished; he only needed to hit the demon with the sealing talisman.

"Nephew Tianfan, lure it towards me in a straight line, don't let it veer off my front," Master Pingchu called to Ye Tianfan, who was still leading the demon.

"Alright, Elder Ping Chu," Ye Tianfan responded to Master Pingchu.

Then Ye Tianfan led the demon towards Master Pingchu's direction, ensuring it didn't stray far. If it went too far, the demon would be trapped in place, resulting in a chaotic charge that would make aiming the sealing talisman difficult.

Sealing usually works as long as it seals immobile objects. Sealing living and erratically moving creatures involves top-level sealing techniques, which those not specialized in sealing can seldom learn.

Though each of the nine leaders of Taichu Sect knew one top-level sealing technique, passed down during the sealing of the nine-headed demon dragon, using it on this demon would be like using a cannon to swat a fly. Moreover, it's a composite sealing technique requiring nine people in special positions. Therefore, the sealing technique used by Master Pingchu was quite advanced; hence, the demon must not evade. If missed, the sealing technique would need to be cast again.

Ye Tianfan approached slowly, staying just outside the five-meter range, entering briefly, then stepping out immediately, slowing the demon's straight-line speed. Though it damaged the array significantly, if Ye Tianfan continued straight at it, he might barely escape within ten meters, but then the demon would catch and tear him apart.

In this manner, with brief stoops, Ye Tianfan finally managed to move the demon before Master Pingchu.

"Move aside!" Master Pingchu shouted at Ye Tianfan before firing the sealing talisman at the demon.

Upon hearing Master Pingchu, Ye Tianfan immediately stepped aside, jumping away promptly to avoid the sealing talisman.

The demon, however, failed to dodge the sealing talisman and was struck instantly.

Subsequently, Ye Tianfan observed that at the moment of collision between the talisman and the demon, it emitted a dazzling light.

Instinctively, Ye Tianfan raised his hand to shield his eyes.
