seeing Ye Bufan, Han Li revealed a resentful expression and said to Han Tiegang: "Dad, this kid was the one who beat me yesterday."Han Tiegang stood with his hands clasped behind his back, his eyes fi..."Who am I I am Ran Changsheng, an old man."

The old man smiled and reported his name.

Everyone present was dumbfounded, no one had ever heard of this Ran Changsheng.

"As an old businessman, I believe in harmony brings wealth. I don't usually get involved in the violence and bloodshed of the underworld, so it's understandable that you haven't heard of me."

However, you should have heard of my dealings, that of the Zixing Lou.

As soon as Ran Changsheng finished speaking, the expressions of everyone present changed drastically.

The Zixing Building, known throughout the fairy world, is shrouded in mystery and rumored to possess immense power.

But they only traded and did not participate in fighting, so they were gradually ignored.

He is usually untouchable, even the Five Great Sects wouldn't dare to cause trouble at Zexing Tower, which shows how powerful he is.

Long ago, people also discussed who the owner of Zhexinglou was, but after so many years, there's still no clue.

No one expected that the old man who suddenly appeared was actually the head of Zhexinglou.

Ye Bufan took a deep breath, calming his emotions.

"Senior, this is my master, could you please return it to me"

"Sure, she's just a sleeping woman. Taking her wouldn't do any good anyway."

Ran Changsheng agreed readily, but then his tone changed. "But I'm a businessman, and I don't do business for free. If you want this woman, you'll have to offer something worthwhile in exchange."

Ye Bufan's heart tightened: "Senior, what do you want As long as I can get it, I will definitely give it to you."

What does the old man want

Ran Changsheng chuckled, "It's no exaggeration to say that I am the richest person in the entire fairy world. I have plenty of immortal crystals and magic treasures, all kinds of materials, I don't need anything."

As for cultivation, I am now an eighth-rank Saint Emperor, and should already be the strongest. There is no further temptation in improving my strength.

When he said this, everyone around him was surprised again. Although they had some guesses before, when the other party said it was an eighth-rank Saint Emperor, everyone was taken aback.

Before the five major sects’ heads were only five-grade Saint Emperors. Now, everyone who reaches the sixth grade thinks they've reached the pinnacle of the fairy world, but this old man is an eighth-grade one.

If this were to happen on a normal day, I doubt anyone would believe it.

But just now many people had made their moves, including the Sword Emperor's full-powered strike, but they were all unable to overcome the Saint Emperor's domain.

Perhaps only an eighth-rank Saint Emperor could achieve this.

Ye Bufan, however, didn't care about these things. His eyes were fixed on Yuan Yao Xianzi, looking at that familiar face, his heart was filled with anxiety.

"Senior, what do you really want Just tell me and I'll find a way!"

"Young people, don't rush, listen to me slowly."

Ran Changsheng said, "Wealth has no meaning. My cultivation surpasses all others, the only thing that can tempt me is immortality."

Actually, this name of mine was changed later. The meaning is to wish for immortality and everlasting life.

But it has been nearly 300,000 years. Even though my strength has reached the eighth rank of Saint Emperor and I have consumed countless heavenly treasures, I can still feel that my life is nearing its end.

As soon as he spoke, a fresh wave of astonishment swept through the onlookers.

Normally, the lifespan of a demonic beast is the longest. After their strength becomes powerful, they can easily live for hundreds of thousands of years.

For humans, even a Saint Emperor level powerhouse typically lives for around 200,000 years, rarely exceeding that number.

But the old man in front of them had actually lived for 300,000 years, which far exceeded many people's understanding.

After the shock, everyone had a new question: what was the other side trying to do

To want immortality, to live forever, is simply a joke, an impossible thing. Even if Ye Bufan were a divine doctor, he probably couldn't do it.

Ran Changsheng completely ignored the reactions of the crowd and continued speaking to himself.

"Throughout my long life, I have been tirelessly pursuing immortality. After years of research and study, I have reached a conclusion."

Even in the fairy realm, life spans are not eternal. If I don't find a way to prolong my life soon, my time will be up.

At first, Ye Bufan was a little confused. At this moment, his heart moved, and he instantly understood the other party's intentions.

As expected, Ran Changsheng no longer beat around the bush and said directly: "Tell me where the entrance to the Chaotic Saint Realm is, and I'll return this woman to you now."

Having said that, his gaze shifted away from Ye Bufan and settled on the couple of Taotu.

The First Demon Insect raised its eyebrows, clearly its target was itself.

"Old man, give up hope. Don't even try to pretend you don't know, because even if I did, I wouldn't tell you."

"That's not a very nice term, you should call me Old Undead instead. That's what I've always strived for."

"Smile, "Let me tell you about my origins. My ancestor was once a True Saint Emperor."

Back then, he joined forces with many True Saints from the Immortal Realms to fight against the invaders from the Chaotic Saint Realm. In the end, he was mortally wounded and died.

Before he passed away, he left behind a family maxim: back then, the one who came to the fairy realm from the entrance wasn't the only powerful being. Perhaps there were other creatures as well.

And you, as the first Demon Worm, just happened to appear after that. Others might not have noticed, but our family knows very well.

Since it comes from the Chaotic Holy Realm, naturally it knows where the entrance is.

"This..."

Even the First Demon Worm didn't expect that Ran Changsheng would have such a family background. His ancestors had once been powerful True Saint Emperors. After hearing his words, she was speechless for a moment.

Ran Changsheng remained calm and collected, showing no signs of haste.

After the ancient war, the fairy world split into three. Since then, ten kinds of demonic insects appeared. According to our Ran family's speculation, they should all come from the Chaotic Holy Realm. It's a pity that the remaining ones are too low-level.

Over these years, I've found three of them, but they simply didn't cultivate any divine or spiritual intelligence. Their spiritual awareness was low, and they couldn't find their way back. My only hope now rests on you, the first Demon Worm.

The First Demon Worm said, "Since you are so certain, why did you only come to me"

"Because my cultivation level wasn't high enough before, I couldn't have found you without crossing the seventh rank. Doing so would have only brought me trouble."

For example, what happened to those idiots like the Devouring Heaven Demon Emperor in the end

And when I reached the seventh rank, you were imprisoned by the Dragon Emperor. Old man, I can guess his purpose is the same as mine.

Since someone has done this for me, I will just wait.

I never expected to wait for tens of thousands of years. In the end, the Dragon Emperor turned out to be a fake and died at your hands.

Since there's no hope, I'll have to do this myself.

Ye Bufan was secretly amazed. This guy looked like a smiling Maitreya Buddha, but he was actually very cunning.

Ran Changsheng should have seen that the First Demonic Worm was a tough and uncompromising character, having never submitted to the Dragon Emperor all these years.

In this situation, he wouldn't have a good solution if he tried to force his way through. If that didn't work, the clue would be lost, and all hope would be gone.

So he came up with a different tactic, using the threat of Yuan Yao Fairy to pressure him, leveraging his connections with Taotu and the First Demon Worm to force his opponent into submission.

Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!pirit stones. Do you think that'll work"Ye Bufan asked, "What is your name""My name is Li Biao..."“This is doable. I can help you raise your cultivation level by two ranks, but it will cost one millio...
