t of thunder, as thick as an adult's thigh, appeared in the air.Generally speaking, Lei can overcome evil, and the power of thunder can suppress all kinds of sorcery.But this time, it was beyond his e...In the courtyard of the Cold Sword Immortal Sect, Li Miaozhen sat by the window, sipping tea and pondering her own affairs.

Now that Leng Qingqiu has already returned to her sect, she won't be taken away by Ye Bufan. That aspect has become less of a hassle.

But the problem remains. During this Genius Demon Battle and the training in the Ten-tier Heavenly Tower, all of the sect's disciples besides Leng Qingqiu performed poorly to an extreme degree, with disastrous results.

Not only did they lose this time, but they also barely qualified for the next championship.

As the leading elder, if he doesn't find a chance to make up for his past mistakes, he will surely be punished by the sect when he goes back. He might even lose his position.

And to atone for past wrongs, Ye Bufan is naturally the best candidate.

As long as he brings back the treasure he obtained from the Heavenly Tower to the Hanjian Immortal Sect, he not only won't face any repercussions but will also earn a great achievement.

Just as she was daydreaming, she suddenly found someone standing before her. It was Ye Bufan.

"Grand Elder, wouldn't drinking tea alone be a bit lonely"

"It's you What are you doing here"

Li Miaozhen's eyes flashed with golden light as she looked around. Seeing that there was only Ye Bufan, many thoughts surged in her mind.

If I secretly take the other party away, then all the treasures will be mine.

"I'm going to settle the score with the Elder!"

Ye Bufan said, "Leng Qingqiu is my woman, there's no doubt about that. We are also very grateful to Hanjian Xianzong for saving her."

But everyone agreed before that if Qingqiu entered the top three of the Genius Demon War, it would be considered repaying the sect's life-saving grace.

After that, I took her into the seventh floor of the Ten-Level Heavenly Tower, which can be considered a great benefit for the Cold Sword Immortal Sect.

If Qingqiu hadn't been here, you would have probably been completely defeated this time. The next Genius Demon War could only secure one spot.

In principle, we have already repaid the kindness of Hujian Xianzong twofold. But what did you do

He actually went back on his word and forcibly took Qingqiu away. Don't you think he owes me an explanation

"What a joke, what qualifications do you have to speak to me"

Li Miaozhen laughed, "Since that's the case, I'll take you with me and let you reunite."

In her eyes, Ye Bufan was like a pie from the sky, something she didn't need to share with others.

As she spoke, she reached out and grabbed him directly, intending to seize him and spirit him away from the Holy Dragon Empire's imperial city unseen.

The idea was beautiful, but reality was cruel. As soon as she reached out, her body lurched and she fell to the ground with a thud.

Now she only has the thoughts of a Great Perfection powerhouse, but without that strength, falling is inevitable.

Li Miaozhen scrambled to her feet, her face etched with shock. She urged the true essence within her repeatedly, but still found nothing.

At that moment, she finally realized what had happened. Her face contorted in terror as she cried out, "What have you done to me"

"Grand Elder, speak clearly. If someone else hears this, they'll think I've done something to you."

Ye Bufan smiled slightly and walked over, reaching out to take her storage ring into his hand.

"You...you dare to steal from me!"

Li Miaozhen's face was full of anger.

"Grand Elder, just wait and see those people later, you'll know how much I care about you."

Ye Bufan put the ring away and smiled, "This time I'm here to give you a warning. You must get out of the imperial city of Shenglong Empire today."

If I find you still here tomorrow, don't blame me for being rude.

After he finished, he took out a rope, tied Li Miaozhen up, and threw her under the bed.

After doing all of this, Ye Bufan quietly left the station and stealthily returned to Xuan Tianmen's residence.

Back inside the room, he cast four or five restrictions in succession, then began to examine his spoils.

First, he took out Bai Li Xingkong's storage ring and checked it. Although there were tens of millions of mid-grade spirit stones inside, there wasn't a single high-grade spirit stone. It seemed that Bai Li Xingkong had been thoroughly drained by him before.

Fortunately, there are still some other spiritual herbs, medicinal materials, and alchemy tools, which is considered a gain.

Then he checked the rings of other elders one by one, and there were some top-grade spirit stones inside, adding up to about two hundred.

Logically speaking, this amount isn't small either. However, given his current level of true essence profundity, even absorbing all of it wouldn't have much effect.

What pleased him most was when he opened Nangong Shangyuan's ring, there lay a dazzlingly colorful stone - it was a five-colored Xuan Stone.

"Haha... I found the second one again!"

Ye Bufan was overjoyed. It was truly a case of unintended consequences leading to unexpected rewards. He never expected that by chance, he would find the second Five-Colored Profound Stone. For him, this was more important than any treasure; it brought him one step closer to home.

He would soon have everything inventoried and put away in the Dragon King's Hall. Then, he called Ye Erlang back and swapped identities with him before walking out openly.

Outside, he did not lie down on the lounge chair again, but turned and walked into Yuan Mutong's room.

"Ye Yixian, is something the matter"

Seeing him enter the door, Yu Mu chuckled merrily.

The woman before had told him to make friends with such a skilled doctor, so his attitude was extremely polite, even with a hint of respect.

"It's nothing, just that my rest is almost up. I came to find the head manager for a cup of tea."

Ye Bufan said, taking out a pack of top-grade West Lake Dragon Well tea, "I have a pack of good tea here. Please, Head Butler, help me with a tasting."

"Really I'm most fond of drinking tea in my daily life."

Hearing there was good tea, Yu Mu's eyes lit up. He took out a set of teaware and began to expertly brew it.

I have to say, this old man is quite accomplished in the tea ceremony. The aroma of tea quickly filled the air, permeating the entire courtyard.

"Not bad, not bad, what a good tea!"

Yuan Mu first poured a cup of tea for Ye Bufan, then raised her own teacup and took a sip gracefully after.

Then the two sat together, sipping tea and chatting.

As the grand steward of Xuan Tianmen, Yuan Mutong's knowledge was naturally extraordinary. Ye Bufan learned a great deal from him.

At Shenwu Wangfu, an hour later, Bai Li Xingkong's true essence recovered. He let out a furious roar and shattered the ropes binding him to pieces.

At this moment, he also realized that the opponent's poison was only temporary, able to make him lose all his cultivation within an hour, and then it would be ineffective.

"Damn Ye Bufan, this old man will definitely dismember you and turn your bones into ashes!"

Looking at his face in the mirror, which was swollen like a pig's head, Bai Li Xing Kong was about to go crazy.

After venting his frustration, he calmed down a bit. He thought about the fact that it wasn't just him who had clashed at Lake of Immortals. He wondered how the others were doing, after all, they were all partners now.

As he thought this, he left the house, leaped into the air, and flew straight towards the station.

When he arrived, Nangong Shangyuan, Hua Sijun, and Feng Manlou all had their cultivation recovered. They crawled out from under the bed, looking disheveled and embarrassed.

When everyone saw Bai Li Xing Kong's miserable appearance, needless to say, they all knew what had happened. Even the Divine Martial Prince couldn't escape Ye Bufan's poisonous hand.

"Let's go see how Elder Li is doing."

After they finished speaking, the four of them went out together and arrived at Li Miaozhen's courtyard.
