e would be such an episode later. He said, "If so, there should be no problem. It should be easy for a Qixing assassin to assassinate a student.""But Du Shengkun shook his head. 'If you were that Ye k...There was no way Ye Tian would let that person get away, his figure flashed as he chased after them from behind.

Seeing that the trouble had been resolved, Ye Bufan reached out a hand and beckoned towards the storage ring that had fallen to the ground.

No matter what, this is a strong Xianzun-level expert. There must be treasures inside the ring.

At the very moment he made his move, a black shadow suddenly appeared behind him silently, like a ghost.

This person's appearance was too sudden. They had been hiding in the surroundings all along, and they were not even discovered by many powerful Immortal Venerable-level experts. This shows how skilled their concealment technique is and how powerful they are.

At that moment, a surge of energy erupted from his body. The black dagger in his hand shot directly towards Ye Bufan's back.

It all happened too quickly, too suddenly, and the movements were incredibly smooth, flowing like water, as if they had been practiced a million times.

Ye Bufan didn't have time to dodge. The short knife went straight through his body, piercing his heart. Blood splattered everywhere.

With a successful strike, the black-clad man showed no signs of hesitation. He drew his short blade and with another swift motion, it sliced across the victim's neck. The head flew high into the air before crashing to the ground.

Clearly, this was all part of his plan. After succeeding, he was ready to make a run for it, but then he frowned again. Things seemed a little different from what he had expected.

Although Ye Bufan's head had already fallen, his primordial spirit did not spill out.

"What's going on"

The Black Cloak man was stunned. This person before him was clearly flesh and blood, not a clone. How could there be no soul

And just as he was lost in thought, a surge of intensely sharp energy came from behind him, mixed with overwhelming demonic aura.

"Oh no!"

As the top-tier assassin, he instantly regained his composure at this moment, realizing that something was amiss. He immediately pushed his body techniques to the limit, preparing to flee.

I have to say, this guy is incredibly fast, almost like a ghost.

But Ye Tian was faster, landing a heavy punch on his head from behind.

"Pfft!"

Another punch to the head, shattering even his soul.

This man never figured out until his death whether or not his assassination was successful, whether or not the target had died, and why there was no soul.

"Well done."

As soon as the words left his mouth, another figure emerged from the shadows. It was Ye Bufan.

Before leaving Bixia Sect, he was already prepared. The Shadows had attempted to assassinate him twice already. According to the rules, they had one last chance, and it could happen at any time. Leaving Yuangu City was the best opportunity.

In addition, there are the Four Swords Sect, the Zhao family, and the Han family. Now, I have a deep and irreconcilable feud with these three families.

Besides, they knew he still had tens of billions of fairy crystals on him. Such a good opportunity wouldn't be missed.

So without the protection of Fairy Chixia, going back to Yuangu City alone would likely result in being robbed or killed along the way.

With Ye Tian beside him, he did not choose to sneak back, but walked out openly.

After all, constantly being on guard against enemies lurking in the shadows is not a good thing either. It's best to just eliminate them directly.

At the moment of departure, he merely called out to Ye Erlang to draw fire in front, while he himself used chaotic immortal essence to conceal himself nearby.

As expected, the Shadow Sect's assassins did strike. In addition, the other three factions also sent over experts at the Immortal Venerable level.

Looking at the black-clad assassin lying on the ground, Ye Bufan felt a wave of relief in his heart. He had finally dodged the three assassination attempts by the Shadow Gate, and there should be no problems in the future.

It's a shame that I still haven't figured out who the person behind it all is.

He reached out and picked up the assassin's storage ring, his divine sense sweeping over it. As expected, it was not much different from the previous two. Inside, there were only some scattered fairy crystals.

...and also a token of identity, inscribed with the words "Soul Calling". ...

As expected, they were from the Shadow Sect. He inwardly sighed, they could casually deploy assassins at the level of Immortal Venerables, this sect was indeed extraordinary.

Fortunately, the assassination attempt ended after three failures. Otherwise, I would have been driven crazy by their persistence.

"Brother, I left one alive. What should we do with this guy"

Ye Tian was also a very cautious person when it came to doing things. After killing two men in black in succession, he left the last one alive.

He threw the man directly in front of Ye Bufan, already breaking his limbs, crippling his dantian, and leaving him with no power to resist.

Ye Bufan glanced at the man and, with a swipe of his hand, pulled the face cloth right off.

"Are you a member of the Zhao family"

Although Zhao Qingzhu is a low-key person, she had been to the Hundred Doors Hegemony War before, and Ye Bufan had seen her.

Furthermore, she bore a resemblance to Zhao Xingyun and Zhao Xinfeng in her features. It was easy to guess that she came from the Zhao family.

"The old man has already lost his way, all I ask for is a quick death!"

At this moment, Zhao Qingzhu no longer possessed the pride of an Immortal Venerable powerhouse. Her eyes were filled with despair.

Before this, he had never imagined that he would become a useless person, from an immortal to an ordinary man.

He would rather die than endure this pain and humiliation.

Ye Bufan said, "If you want to die, that's fine, but answer my questions honestly, and I'll give you a quick death."

"Sure, I'll tell you everything I know."

Since she has acknowledged her identity, it means the Zhao family has been exposed. Under these circumstances, Zhao Qingzhu doesn't want to make any further concealments.

"I'm not really sure, I wasn't with them."

Zhao Qingzhu said, "However, the previous two could be guessed. From their moves and cultivation, they should be from the Sifang Sword Sect and the Han Family. The last one is unclear."

He has lived for over ten thousand years, and as a strongman of the Three Sects, Five Factions, and Seven Great Families, they know each other too well.

From the previous fight, you can tell where the other two people are from, with little room for error.

The last assassin's spirit was enthralled, he had never seen nor could he guess the other party's origins.

Ye Bufan asked the second question: "Who sent you to assassinate me, and what is your purpose"

"Of course, the Elder is after the immortal crystals you possess and intends to take your life as well."

Zhao Qingzhu was resolute in her desire to die, responding succinctly and without hesitation.

Ye Bufan asked, "Then how did you know I came to Bixia Sect"

"Someone sent us a letter..."

Zhao Qingzhu told Zhao Qinglian about the mysterious note she received.

"That's how it is."

If you only listened to this old man speak, you wouldn't see anything unusual. But when you connect today's assassination attempt with the other events, Ye Bufan has already guessed most of it.

That note must be the work of the Soul Reaper. This high-ranking assassin from the Shadow Gate has been lurking around him, so he knows exactly where he's going.

The note he sent out should not have just been received by the Zhao family, but also by other families like the Han family and the Sifang Sword Sect.

The purpose of doing this is simple, it's to get rid of himself by using the hands of the three families.

If he can't do that, then he could be biding his time, waiting for an opportunity to strike and greatly increase the chances of a successful assassination.

As expected of the Shadow Sect's final assassination, as expected of a top-tier assassin. Not only is their skill exceptional, but they also possess such intellect.

It's a pity he never dreamed that he had Ye Erlang as his stand-in, and also Ye Tian, such a powerful figure, by his side.s of our Yuan family will be exposed."Then, Lin Sisi wouldn't be considered a chaste woman anymore, and she would also be ruined."This... this guy's mind is so terrifying."Yuan Qihan hesitated for a m...
