lity, she was very low-key in her words and deeds.This time, choosing to hold the banquet at the Tianhao Grand Hotel was entirely to ease the tension from meeting Ouyang Lan before.The daughter-in-law...Ye Bufan walked very quickly, his heart was very anxious.

According to previous speculations, if Song Jian killed one person from the Lingxiao Academy, he would also be unable to gather five people by then, and could still achieve his goal.

But the other party was a prince of the Tianfeng Empire, with his own pride. Normally, he should have done it himself and not involve others.

If he truly hid himself inside the palace, or even ventured into the Dragon King's Hall, then perhaps they would attack the Lingxiao Academy instead.

Although Li Daoran and Naran Yujia are both powerful fighters, who knows what underhanded tactics the other side might use, or if they'll bring in even more powerful fighters. In this situation, he needs to rush back as quickly as possible.

It is now sunset, with the sun just dipping below the horizon. The entire Tianfeng Imperial City slowly descends into darkness.

Ye Bufan followed the main street leading out of the palace gates, rushing forward in a hurry. But after walking for a while, he immediately felt something was wrong.

Even though it's night time, there wouldn't be this much quiet here. There should still be a few pedestrians around. How come the whole street is empty with no one

At that moment, a tremor ran through the jade talisman in his pocket.

I took a look and it turned out to be from Luo Yudie.

"Xiao Fan, the Du family has sent out Elder Two, Du Ruifeng, a powerhouse at the Nascent Soul stage, to deal with you. Be extra careful!"

Seeing this message, Ye Bufan's heart skipped a beat. He had been extremely careful before, how could the Du family want to kill him

Later on, I thought about it. Although I had cleaned up all traces both times, I still ended up raising suspicion.

A large family like the Du clan wouldn't even bother considering themselves equal to others. They would kill on suspicion, without a second thought or any hesitation.

It seems I need to leave quickly. The opponent is a powerful cultivator at the peak of the Great Accomplishment stage. Even Li Daran and Naran Yugga are no match for them.

Now the only way is to return to Lingxiao Academy as soon as possible and set up an array. Only then will there be hope of survival.

Just as he was about to speed up and leave, a figure flashed before his eyes, and a thin, old man appeared in front of him.

Judging from his appearance, this old man resembles both Du Lang and Du Bin, he must be the second elder of the Du family, Du Ruifeng.

Ye Bufan suddenly became nervous. He didn't expect that before Song Jian's people arrived, the Du family had already taken the initiative to attack him.

This old fellow looks skinny, probably not even weighing a hundred pounds, but he exudes an incredibly powerful aura all over his body, just like a mountain.

He was surprisingly on par with Zheng Sanbao, indeed a formidable powerhouse at the peak of the Grand Unity level.

He turned his head and ran, without a moment's hesitation, not even thinking about the communication jade talisman in his pocket.

For someone as powerful as this, killing me would be a matter of minutes. I'm not even talking about Zheng Sanbao; even a god wouldn't have time to react.

So the most urgent thing is to rely on oneself and escape as quickly as possible.

Idealism is beautiful, but reality is harsh. As soon as I turned around, another figure appeared before me, blocking my way.

The one who came was also an old man, with white beard and hair. He looked quite like a fairy with an ethereal air.

Judging from his aura, he was also a powerful cultivator at the peak of the Hunyuan stage. He was none other than Fang Dian, the Great Elder of Bei Qiong Sword Sect.

"Holy crap!"

Ye Bufan was greatly surprised and secretly cried out in his heart. He didn't expect the Du family to actually join forces with the people from Beiqiong Jianpai.

Two late-stage cultivators joining forces They're really overestimating themselves, aren't they

But at this moment, he didn't dare to think too much, not daring to waste a single moment. He knew that if he wasn't careful, these two old fellows would immediately kill him.

He immediately changed direction, preparing to flee back to Lingxiao Academy.

Although Li Dao-ran and Nalan Yu-jia were not opponents of those two old fellows, they had already set up some formations in the academy, which could at least support for a while.

But unexpectedly, as soon as he changed direction, another figure blocked his path. It was Zhao Lian, the bodyguard who stood close to Song Jian.

He seemed to have already won, not eager to make a move, and a smug smile played on his face.

"Kid, are you satisfied with the arrangements made by the prince To die at the hands of two late-stage Grandmaster cultivators, you can be considered honored even in death."

Only then did Ye Bufan understand why the two old monsters would lower themselves to team up against him. It turned out that Song Jian was behind it all.

While he understood, he still didn't dare to linger for a moment, immediately turning and fleeing in another direction.

This time, he was lucky. He managed to escape to over a hundred meters away without anyone stopping him. It seems that Song Jian could only mobilize so many late-stage Nascent Soul experts, and they didn't surround him.

But then again, it's understandable. To deal with a cultivator at the Nascent Soul stage, deploying three cultivators at the Core Formation stage is already an extraordinary show of importance.

To an ordinary person, even if a powerhouse at the Nascent Soul stage were to appear, he would have no chance of escaping. Let alone with two more peak Nascent Soul elders present.

Fang Dian and Du Rufeng exchanged glances. Both of them were high-status individuals, superpowered beings who possessed their own pride.

Faced with a nascent soul mid-stage cultivator, they didn't make the first move. In their eyes, doing so would be beneath them.

Both hoped the other would strike first, taking care of the little fellow and sparing them the trouble.

In this way, no one made a move, which instead gave Ye Bufan an opportunity to escape.

He knew he couldn't outrun them with his own speed alone. Taking advantage of the opening, he summoned Jiutian and jumped straight in.

Immediately after, his speed surged dramatically, shooting towards the city's outskirts like a meteor.

Fang Dian and his three companions had originally thought they were sure to win. A cultivator at the Yuan Ying stage was in their hands; there was no way he could escape. However, they were completely taken aback when the other party summoned a flying magical artifact, their expressions changing drastically.

As a powerhouse in the fusion stage, if one were to let Ye Bufan escape from their palm, what face would they have left

Fang Dian and Du Rufeng's hearts moved, their figures disappearing from the spot in an instant. They chased after it with extraordinary speed.

Zhao Lian did not chase after him, but instead turned around and returned to the palace. This time, he came only as a representative of Prince An Shun Song Jian to contact these two people.

In his view, two peak-stage Grandmasters pursuing Ye Bufan meant the latter had no chance of escape. Death was simply a matter of time.

Ye Bufan controlled the Nine Heavens, pushing his speed to the extreme. In the blink of an eye, he dashed out of Tianfeng City. After leaving the city, he headed straight for the Wan Shou Mountains.

But what frustrated him was that the old monster's speed was not inferior to a top-grade spiritual artifact, and it was even a bit faster.

The distance between them is continuously closing, and at this rate they will be caught up eventually.

But now, in this situation, he had no other choice but to desperately urge the Nine Heavens to escape as quickly as possible.

The two men naturally wouldn't let them get away so easily and followed closely behind.

Three people, one running ahead and two chasing behind, rushed towards the Wanshou Mountains like shooting stars. on a good show, for fear that Ye Bufan will sentence them to death if he's unhappy.Having sheathed his sword, Qi Xiuyuan looked at the remaining disciples of Jile Palace and Shenfeng Valley: "Didn't...
