enjoyed a stellar reputation. Though his cultivation was formidable, he rarely took action and never abused his power. He even earned the title of "Benevolent Immortal King."Beside him stood a woman d...Finally expelling the last bit of chill, Ye Bufan let out a long sigh. His entire body was now soaked in sweat, and the true qi in his dantian was depleted almost entirely.

This treatment took a heavy toll on him. Cleaning out one meridian can't be done halfway, or all the progress will be undone.

That woman sat on the bed, a hint of joy in her eyes peeking out from beneath her veil.

As a party directly involved, she feels the most acutely the effects of the treatment. Since her injury, her arm has been like an ice cellar every day, and countless renowned doctors have been unable to cure it. Now, she finally feels a glimmer of warmth.

"Little doctor, thank you!"

Compared to before, there was a hint of gratitude in a woman's voice.

"So far today, the rest tomorrow continues treatment."

After Ye Bufan finished speaking, he withdrew all the silver needles and stood up from beside the bed.

As soon as he stood up, a wave of intense weakness washed over him, and his body swayed.

This treatment took a heavy toll on him, he was almost drained to the bone.

And just then, a black shadow suddenly appeared behind him, a cold light flashing in his hand, a sharp and menacing short knife directly aimed at his neck.

Everything happened so suddenly. All eyes were on that woman, watching to see the effects of the treatment, nobody expected an assassin to appear at this moment.

Ye Bufan, due to the excessive consumption of his spiritual energy, his divine sense significantly weakened. He only felt the danger approaching at the very last moment.

He wanted to dodge, but unfortunately, he was weak and helpless all over. He simply couldn't do anything. It was too late even to use his particle gun.

A wave of despair washed over him. He hadn't returned to Earth, hadn't seen his loved ones, and now he was going to die here

And just then, a sudden energy fluctuation arose beside them. A black shadow materialized out of thin air in the room, and a sharp sword intent instantly pointed at the black-cloaked assassin.

The assassin's attention was focused solely on Ye Bufan, and as victory seemed within reach, his heart inevitably relaxed a little.

Suddenly attacked, there was no time to react. In the end, gritting my teeth, I poured all my strength into swinging the dagger in my hand.

> I hope for a do-or-die situation, to kill this target right in front of me before I die.

Unfortunately, his speed was nowhere near that of the long sword. Before the dagger could even touch Ye Bufan, his head was already soaring high in the air.

A surge of blood sprayed onto the scene, and his arm went limp, dropping the dagger with a clatter.

Ye Bufan let out a long sigh of relief. Just now, the sword had almost touched his skin. If it had moved just an inch further, he would have been killed instantly.

Luckily, there was no harm done, and he finally escaped the danger. He turned back to look and saw that a dark figure had appeared beside the woman at some point.

This person was silent and still, dressed in a black robe, with a hood covering their face. Despite their lack of movement, an incredibly powerful aura emanated from them, like a ghost emerging from the darkness.

It's clear that the man in black is guarding that woman, but that's not surprising either. It's only natural for someone of her high status to have skilled guards by her side.

The woman in bed asked, "Ye Shenyi, how are you Are you alright"

At this moment, the people in the City Lord's Mansion also came to their senses. Zhai Tianfang immediately arranged for someone to thoroughly investigate the entire City Lord's Mansion to see if there were any more hidden assassins.

Zhi Lingxiu instead drew out her steel knife and stood guard beside Ye Bufan, while she also asked with concern: "Doctor Ye, how are you Are you hurt"

"I'm fine!"

Ye Bufan nodded to her and then looked at the woman in bed: "Thank you for your help!"

"It's a small matter, besides saving Dr. Ye also saved myself!"

The woman's answer was very direct, without any pretense. Her current injuries relied entirely on the young man before her, so naturally she wouldn't let him get hurt.

The City Lord's Mansion was thoroughly searched again, but no trace of the assassin was found.

Zhai Tianfang said, "Doctor Ye, why don't you stay at the City Lord's Mansion these days I will do my best to ensure your safety."

"No, I just need to rest for a bit."

Ye Bufan refused his kindness. Since someone wanted to attack him, he couldn't just hide here and take the beating passively. He had to find a way to fight back.

Moreover, given their methods, the City Lord's Mansion isn't absolutely safe either. Who knows when another assassin might sneak in.

In this situation, the top priority is to recover your strength as much as possible. Only when you are strong can you have security.

Zhai Tianfang quickly arranged a quiet room for him to recover his depleted cultivation, and Zhai Lingxiu personally led a team of guards to protect him outside the door.

Ye Bufan swallowed several pills in succession, then began to meditate cross-legged. About half an hour later, the true qi that had been consumed was fully restored.

He let out a long, heavy sigh, feeling the surging power within him, and his heart felt calmer.

"How did I run into an assassin again Who sent this guy"

To deal with an enemy, at least you have to figure out who they are.

He had calculated his opponent from head to toe. All the core members of the Shang family had been wiped out, and people from the Kyoto Li family had arrived here. The assassin should have nothing to do with them.

The He family is the same, since they have already sent a plea for help to the Beique Sword Sect, they will not use the Assassin's Guild.

Thus, the Fang family became the biggest suspect. Since they couldn't directly attack me, it makes perfect sense that they would try to eliminate me through an assassin.

But that's just a guess, and it's too early to say for sure.

Thinking about this, he took out a sound transmission jade talisman and sent a message to Luo Yudie. He wanted to see if the intelligence network at Ju Baoge had any relevant information.

Not long ago, Luo Yudie's voice echoed in his mind.

"The Assassins' Guild indeed has a contract on your life, with a bounty of 10 million gold coins. And just a few hours ago, Zhao Si, who is around Fang Furong, was seen there."

With this information, Ye Bufan could confirm that the assassin came from the Fang family.

Just as he was figuring out how to get rid of the Fang family's trouble, another message came through.

An hour ago, the people from the Li family in the capital arrived in Tianlang City and are currently staying at the Fulái Inn.

They are now collecting your information and it won't be long before they make their move.unter it again would be unimaginably difficult.But Ye Bufan couldn't say this, otherwise Lu Banxia would feel even more guilty. He smiled and said, "That's right, if we can get more of the Heaven and...
