The chances of that were slim though.
But if such a powerful martial artist happened to be loitering around in the rainforest, he or she would definitely have sensed the sudden and overwhelming eruption of power earlier.
If that martial artist proceeded to do what Ye Fan expected him or her to do, then they were going to find themselves in grave danger.
There was nothing Ye Fan could do now but worry though.
He walked up to the entrance of the cave and, with a sudden blow to the wall, sent rocks crumbling and blocking the entrance.
Then, he hurried back to Yu Yun and waited anxiously for her to wake up.
He knew that blocking the entrance of the cave was merely a temporary measure. A grandmaster in the vicinity would realize that something wasn't what it appeared.
What he had done would simply buy them a little time.
All he could do now was pray that Yu Yun awaken from her meditative trance as soon as possible.
"Please hurry up! We're going to be swamped by martial artists in a while. I can't guarantee that I'll be able to hold them off on my own." Ye Fan appeared nervous as he eyed Yu Yun, whose eyes were tightly shut as she sat in a deep meditative trance.
Ye Fan was quite sure that she was going to wake up from her trance soon.
She was clearly at the final stage of reaching the next tier in her cultivation.
Her entire body was aglow with the energies of the natural world and the latter was growing with increasing intensity and strength.
She was exuding waves of pure power.
Everything pointed to Yu Yun reaching the end of her meditative trance.
It was both a good and bad thing. Ye Fan also knew that the waves of pure natural energy that Yu Yun was emanating were also blinding beacons that were surely drawing powerful martial artists to their location.
If this went on, they were going to be surrounded by martial artists within a few days.
"I really hope she wakes up soon," muttered Ye Fan worriedly to himself as he stared at the young woman before him.
Meanwhile, Kong Ming and Lu Yan-Xi were slowly retracing their steps.
Lv Hua followed steadily behind them.
The trio were in a terrible mood.
They had entered the rainforest as proud and eager warriors. But now, they were akin to frost-stung berries, their heads dropping as they trudged slowly through the rainforest.
"Elder Kong, are we really going to return empty-handed?" After a long silence, Lu Yan-Xi finally asked as she looked at Kong Ming.
Kong Ming sighed exasperatedly. “What else can we do? Are we going to fight Ye Fan for a spirit energy fruit?"
"How are we going to answer for it if we go back empty-handed?"
Lu Yan-Xi wasn't ready to give up just yet.
This was a very important mission to her.
This had been her opportunity to gain the attention of the upper echelons of War God Castle. She had wanted to use this chance to have a grandmaster take her in as his or her disciple. But she hadn't managed to get her hands on a spirit energy fruit at all. In fact, she had almost gotten herself killed.
She would be too embarrassed to speak of what had happened when she returned.
She would become the laughingstock of the town.
That also explained why she was so reluctant to return empty-handed.
Kong Ming did not say a word. He simply sighed.
He wasn't happy with the outcome of their trip as well.
Of course, he wasn't.
