her directly because he wanted to figure out what was going on with the Black Wind Merchant Guild. So, he directly used the soul-searching technique.Moments later, An Yue struck again silently, behea...The Black man obviously hated Ye Bufan deeply, and then he continued to stab him several times with his sword, each sword piercing through.

After all of this was done, seeing that he could no longer live, the four people rose into the air and disappeared in the night sky in an instant.

Behind them, a heart-wrenching cry echoed through the courtyard.

These four people raced along, soon appearing in a secluded alley.

After taking a look around, seeing no suspicious people, he then removed the face mask.

These four were none other than Prince Shenwu, Bai Li Xingkong, Elder Li Miaozhen of the Cold Sword Immortal Sect, Elder Feng Manlou of the Divine Wind Valley, and Elder Nangong Shangyuan of the Extreme Sword Gate.

After their last failure, the four didn't give up. They came back today with renewed vigor.

"Your Highness, this time I've come up with a brilliant plan. First, we'll use Zhang Gonggong to lure that boy out, and then we'll strike, leaving him nowhere to hide."

Originally, Zhang Jin's arrival was orchestrated by Bai Li Xingkong. His intention wasn't to buy a spot from Ye Bufan, but to lure him out.

For fear of repeating what happened last time, four of us stormed in with high spirits only to find the place deserted.

“You’re right, that Ye kid is laughable. He actually thinks the royal family of the Holy Dragon Empire would buy a spot from him.”

Bai Li Xingkong wore a smug expression, having killed Ye Bufan filled him with immense satisfaction, he couldn't help but burst into unrestrained laughter.

"We've got the spots for Tiandao Prefecture, but we won't give him a single copper coin."

Li Miaozhen followed up, "This is a great idea. That kid surnamed Ye is dead, so his points are naturally invalid."

By then, Tianluo State will no longer be ranked first, and his forty spots will be evenly distributed among us.

These four people gathered together not only out of hatred, but also to seize the forty spots in Heavenly Demon State.

"Well, we can now safely go back to sleep," Bai Li Xing said with a smug grin. "Tomorrow, if that little brat named Ye doesn't show up, we'll just take their spots."

After they finished speaking, they didn't stay any longer. The four of them disappeared in the blink of an eye.

In the station, Jiang Fangzhou, Lu Xueman and others cried their hearts out. XUanyuan Zhantian reached out and took another pig's trotter to gnaw on.

"Alright, everyone's gone now. Crying won't help anyone hear it."

"Are you alright"

The cries of several people immediately stopped, not a single tear on their faces.

Then the door creaked open and Ye Bufan walked out of the room, collecting Ye Erlang's severed body into the Dragon King Hall to allow him to recover slowly.

"Fortunately, I have multiple eyes. These old things are indeed up to no good."

As soon as the old eunuch arrived, Ye Bufan had a bad feeling and hid himself. He sent his second brother out in his place.

"Meanwhile, relay this message to Jiang Fangzhou and the others. Have them play along and cry out as if they were dead, so that we can avoid any further trouble tonight."

Xuan Yuan Zhan Tian patted him on the shoulder with an oily hand: "Little guy, you really have a lot of good stuff. I've never seen this kind of puppet before."

About Erlang's affairs, Ye Bufan naturally didn't want to say much. He scolded: "These damned old things are really eyeing me, they keep coming at me one after another."

Having been assassinated by Bai Li Xingkong three times in a row, he naturally had a lot of anger in his heart.

Xuan Yuan Zhan Tian let out a sinister chuckle. "Little one, aren't you quite angry right now"

"Need I say more If that were you, wouldn't you be angry"

“How about I get Bai Li Hongjun out here so you can vent your anger”

Xuan Yuan Zhan Tian had a lecherous look on his face, "If the Holy Dragon Empire's royal family won't let you have it easy, then just take it out on his son. What a brilliant idea, you can vent your anger and make some money at the same time."

Ye Bufan glanced at him: "That's a good idea, but it's been done twice already. The palace is full of experts and heavily guarded. It wouldn't be so easy to kidnap someone again."

"You don't need to worry about that, stealing something from someone is nothing to me old man."

Xuan Yuan Zhan Tian said, "But there is one condition. If I get Bai Li Hong Jun out for you, then the previous favors owed are considered paid back, and we're even."

"This…can."

Ye Bufan hesitated for a moment, but still agreed.

He had long seen that this old man was unreliable. If he depended on him to get the lower half of "One Qi Transforming into Three Purities," it might never happen. The current situation was more practical.

Then you just wait and see.

After Xuanyuan Zhantian finished speaking, he took a step forward and his figure vanished into the night. His speed was truly astonishing.

Looking at his back, Ye Bufan secretly smacked his tongue, wondering where this old man came from.

If he were an ordinary person, he wouldn't believe it if you killed him. How could an ordinary person possibly steal the prince from within the palace

If he were a big shot, yet unknown, not even Xi Men Feng would recognize him, that would be rather illogical.

Whatever, who cares anyway, as long as he doesn't mean any harm to us. He turned around with everyone else and went back into the room, his mind already churning with plans on how to wake up Iroka.

After a short while, the door opened and Xuan Yuan Zhan Tian walked in from outside, carrying a large sack in his hand.

"Little guy, now we're even."

He finished speaking and with a flick of his wrist, he threw the sack onto the ground.

"I said, old man, you're too fast, aren't you Are you sure this is Bai Li Hongjun"

Ye Bufan secretly smacked his tongue. Even picking up a courier didn't have this speed.

"It's common to see the unusual, is that something for me old man to worry about"

Xuanyuan Zhantian curled his lip, clearly dissatisfied with the questioning. He plopped down on the adjacent Taishi chair and started gnawing on a pig's trotter.

With a puzzled expression, Ye Bufan cut the rope on the sack. What was inside turned out to be Prince Baili Hongjun.

"This..."

He was utterly shocked. To be able to steal the crown prince from the imperial palace, a place swarming with masters, in such a short time... What level of cultivation did this old man possess

He turned back to look at Xuanyuan Zhantian: "Old man, tell me, how high is your cultivation"

"Three stories high!"

Xuan Yuan Zhan Tian waved his hand casually, then picked up a bottle of Erguotou and started drinking.

"If you don't say anything, then it's as if nothing was said."

Since the other party was unwilling to speak, Ye Bufan didn't ask any further. He mentioned Bai Li Hongjun and walked out the door.

He went outside and found a secluded spot. He transformed into his Daoist form again, just like before, and had him carry Bai Li Hongjun toward the north gate of the Holy Dragon Empire's imperial city.

Having walked for a hundred miles, Bai Li Xing returned to the palace and went straight to his sleeping quarters to find Bai Li Xingyun. After all that had happened, he needed to explain everything to the emperor.

Upon arriving at the palace, I recounted everything that had transpired from beginning to end.

Bai Li Xing Yun had already heard the news of the competition's results. After he finished speaking, she asked, "That troublemaker has been killed by you"

"True as I live, I just chopped off his head with my own hands."

"Bai Li's words were firm and confident, leaving no room for doubt."

"Well then, our Holy Dragon Empire's royal family is going to show everyone that those who oppose us are destined for a terrible end."

Since that kid is dead, the Tianluo State quotas will be all ours tomorrow...

When Bai Li Xingyun received the news of Ye Bufan's death, a sense of relief washed over him. But just then, Zhang Jin, the chief steward, stumbled in from outside.

"Oh dear Your Majesty, the Crown Prince has lost something again!" Dan Dao attainment definitely wouldn't be too weak in martial arts. Otherwise, wouldn't that be too monstrousYe Bufan smiled faintly: "Thank you, Steward Xie, for your kindness. However, it's not nec...
