"Zheng Huayang turned his head and was about to run away, but then he felt a chill in both of his heels, and immediately afterwards, his whole body lost its strength. With a thud, he fell to the groun...Dumu Feng announced that today's Holy Spirit Assembly was coming to an end, and the reactions of those present were mixed.

Those who drew to the later ranked battle stages were all excited, especially the No. 10 stage of the fifth little demon. Many people felt they had a chance to win and cheered with joy.

And those who drew to the No. 1 and No. 2 platforms, some hung their heads in despair, and some even wailed bitterly. This was simply a group of death with no suspense at all.

Ye Bufan's expression was the most relaxed. After greeting Ziyue Mountain and Piaoxiang Valley, he took Xuanyuan Linglong and Yuhua Ling back to his residence together.

Members of the two major sects didn't obstruct each other, after all, the ring battle was to be held tomorrow. Focusing on cultivation now wouldn't yield much better results.

Moreover, Ye Bufan and Kusuzi had given them too much shock before. At this moment, there was only respect and admiration, no doubt at all.

After returning to the residence, without any hesitation, he set up a barrier and then led the two people into the Dragon King's Hall.

Kusunoki pulled up a chair and sat in the doorway, basking in the sun while keeping watch.

Before, Ye Bufan did not rush to help the two improve their strength in order to avoid the scrutiny of the Sky-Peering Mirror. Now that the first round of assessments has passed, there is no longer any burden.

In this way, even if the strength of the two people skyrockets tomorrow, everyone can only guess. After all, no one dares to question the probing power of the Prying Heaven Mirror.

The art of dual cultivation came naturally to him. After just three hours, Ye Bufan had helped two people advance, each reaching the second rank of Yuansheng.

He then taught the art of stealth to two others, though it held little significance for Xuanyuan Linglong in fact.

He had already made up his mind. Tomorrow, he would tell everyone that he had consumed the Heavenly Purity Divine Fruit. This way, there wouldn't be any issues with his Pristine Spirit Root being upgraded to a higher level.

I think Lord Wan Shou Xie wouldn't question it, even if he did, no one said there was only one Tian Jing Shen Guo. It's reasonable for a second one to appear.

As for Yuhua Ling, we can adjust her aura to appear as a first-rank Yuandi. That way, defeating Ximen Yu, who is a fifth-rank Yuandi, won't seem too out of the ordinary.

After preparing, the three returned to the room. Ye Bufan asked the two to consolidate their cultivation and left by himself.

Apart from the old man Ku Shuzi sitting leisurely there, a person stood opposite him, it was Duan Fengling.

She stood there with a sullen expression, clearly impatient. Despite her feelings, she did not dare to show any displeasure towards Kusuzi.

Seeing Ye Bufan go out, she immediately strode over.

“I need to talk to you privately.”

As soon as she finished speaking, Kǔ Xūzǐ's figure flashed and disappeared. Only two people remained in the courtyard.

Ye Bufan said, "Now tell me what's the matter."

Duan Fengling asked, "Where is Elder Gui"

In the entire Qianyuanshan Mountain, she had the best relationship with this Second Elder, Guifengzhen. She was both her teacher and mother. However, she disappeared that day and never returned. Until now, there has been no news of her, neither alive nor dead.

Ye Bufan said: "Where did your sect's elders go It doesn't seem like you can ask me, does it"

Duang Fengling let out a cold snort: "I asked Bai Li Xuan Yi, he said you must know, or perhaps the Elder Master died at the hands of you and your disciples."

Ye Bufan inwardly sighed, this Bai Li Xuan Yi was truly skilled at shifting blame. But there was no denying it, this time his judgment of people was accurate. He knew about this matter the most clearly.

Seeing his reaction, Duan Fengling immediately confirmed her guess, "Hurry up and tell me, where is the elder Is he in your hands"

"Since you ask, I'll tell you. She's dead, killed by that man with the grotesque mask. I had nothing to do with it."

In Ye Bufan's eyes, this Gui Fengzhen was a bait, and dying as such was her own doing, nothing to be lamented.

Hearing that Gui Fengzhen had died, Duan Fengling's expression changed: "The elder died at the hands of the masked man. How did you know"

Ye Bufan frowned. He had just told the other party this news out of sympathy and compassion, but this woman insisted on putting on a threatening and aggressive demeanor.

"How do I know I'm related to you I have no obligation to tell you."

To my surprise, Duan Fengling's tone grew increasingly sharp: "I order you to first make things clear and second, return Elder's ring to me."

She finished speaking, and Ye Bufan couldn't help but laugh: "Order me What makes you think you can"

"You're nothing but a woman, your life is in my hands."

Duan Fengling looked defiant. "Don't forget that in the arena, Yu Hualing and I are in the same group. If you don't answer my questions properly, she'll be dead tomorrow."

Ye Bufan only then understood, no wonder this woman would come to his door, and at this time, she thought she could blackmail him.

"Do you think you're in a position to blackmail me Get out of here!"

If Rain Flower Spirit really

Being the emperor, his words carry weight. This threat was useful after all, just a piece of information, far less important than his wife's life.

Now that Rainflower Spirit is already a second-rank Yuansheng, having a small Yuandi threaten others with the life of a Yuansheng sounds like a joke.

Facts are facts, from an emotional standpoint Ye Bufan has completely lost his good opinion of this woman who resorts to any means necessary, and even feels a slight disgust towards her.

"You..."

Duan Fengling was stunned. She had done a thorough investigation on Ye Bufan before and knew that he doted on his women immensely.

That's exactly why I feel like I have him right where I want him. I can make him do whatever I want, and even get back Phoenix Jewel's storage ring.

To her utter surprise, the other person wasn't buying it at all.

"Ye, don't think I'm joking with you. If you dare disobey me, tomorrow Rainflower Spirit will die in the ring..."

"You insolent little girl, get out of here!"

Before he could finish speaking, Kusuzi made his move. An invisible force lifted her out of the courtyard in an instant.

"You wait for me..."

Du Fengling fell with a thud, getting covered in dirt. She scrambled to her feet but didn't dare stay, fleeing the scene in utter embarrassment.

Ye Bufan smiled faintly. This master was truly thoughtful, knowing to conceal his strength at this time and not letting him make a move. He directly dealt with the woman who didn't know her place.

Just as I was about to return to my room, another figure appeared at the entrance of the courtyard. It was none other than Ximen Yu, the core disciple of the Zhui Hun Jian Zong.

Ye Bufan frowned: "What are you doing here"

Ximen Yu didn't know what had just happened. He was a little surprised by their attitude, but he still said, "I heard that the Heavenly Pure God Fruit is in your hands"

As soon as he spoke, Ye Bufan knew what this guy's intentions were. He was here to take advantage of the situation, obviously unaware that the Heavenly Pure Divine Fruit had been taken by the Demon Lord of Ten Thousand Beasts.

"Yes, it's here with me."

He sneered, "Are you suggesting I give you the fruit, or else you'll have my woman attacked in tomorrow's arena match Is that it"

Xi Men Yu was first stunned, then his face broke into a wild grin: "You're a smart person after all, it seems you've already made up your mind. Well then, quickly hand over the Heavenly Purifying Divine Fruit."

Tomorrow, I will let Xuanyuan Linglong concede defeat herself. I guarantee she will be unharmed. suddenly wanted to sell pills, and it wasn't aimed at our Demon Sect."Xin Wu-nu also said, “Lan girl, you are too careful. This kind of pill is useful for cultivators of other Yin attribute cultivati...
