Ye Fan brought Sang Yuan and Ling to a place twenty miles away from the Diyuan Sect's gate.
Ye Fan personally used the Jade Talisman to send a message up the mountain to Yuan, the new false Sect Master who had betrayed Ling and taken his place.
Yuan arrived with his favored female disciple and was accompanied by dozens of Diyuan Sect disciples. Ye Fan's sudden visit made Yuan feel threatened; he feared Ye Fan had come to destroy the Diyuan Sect.
When Yuan arrived, Ye Fan had already had Ling hide. With Sang Yuan's help, Ling's Spiritual Energy was almost completely concealed, undetectable by the Diyuan Sect members.
