rella, their eyes filled with greed.Before the two could recover, Bai Li's Empty Escape Talisman took effect. A white light enveloped the four of them, and they vanished from their spot.Fǔ Hǎitào was...Although Zheng Wei didn't speak, he glared furiously. He obviously realized that he had been played by the eldest prince.

However, Tubay Yang didn't seem to care at all. He acted as if he hadn't heard the two people's questions. He poured himself another cup of tea and sipped it slowly.

"Gentlemen, please sit down first. Let's talk about this slowly."

Du Shengkun snorted coldly: "Today if you don't give me an explanation, is there any point in us continuing this conversation"

The eldest prince is just a prince, not the crown prince nor the current emperor, so Du Shengkun doesn't fear him much.

"Don't worry, I'll give you an explanation."

Tuo Ba Yang said, "The reason I want to join forces with the two of you is to prevent unforeseen circumstances."

"I didn't expect this Ye kid to actually invite all four elders. He really does have some skill."

Du Shengkun said: "You still talk about uniting Where are the people sent by the eldest prince"

If we sent three Void Core realm powerhouses, even if we couldn't succeed, the losses wouldn't be so great.

I want success, I want the young man surnamed Ye dead. I would pay any price to achieve it.

Of course, this time things were a bit unexpected. I didn't expect Ye Bufan to invite so many masters.

Tuo Ba Yang said, "However, the people I sent have already gone. When you two draw those experts away, they should have already taken action."

Du Shengkun and Zheng Wei looked at each other, and at this moment they finally understood that the crown prince had sent them as bait.

However, to get to this point, none of them were innocent. As long as they succeeded, they were willing to sacrifice anything.

Upon hearing that Tuo Ba Yang had also sent people, Du Shengkun's anger subsided considerably, and the two sat back down.

Zheng Wei asked, "Prince, who did you send When will we have news"

"I sent out my most trusted people."

Tuoba Yang looked up at the moon in the sky, "It won't be long before he comes back."

As soon as he finished speaking, a figure suddenly appeared in the courtyard. It was none other than Goushen who had returned.

Zheng Wei and Du Shengkun were both taken aback, obviously recognizing that this was an assassin, and one of a rather high level.

A smile appeared on Tuoba Yang's face, since Gu Hun had returned it proved that things were successful.

He asked, "How is it going"

Go-hun bowed respectfully and said, “Master, I have killed Ye Bufan.”

"What, it actually worked"

Hearing his response, both Du Shengkun and Zheng Wei showed a hint of astonishment on their faces.

Although they had always wanted to kill Ye Bufan, they couldn't believe it when they heard he was actually dead.

Especially the Du family, they suffered a lot at Ye Bufan's hands. Two core disciples died, and Zhang Lao is still missing. The Great Elder was also seriously injured.

Such a formidable figure, to hear that he is now dead, it's hard not to feel a sense of disbelief.

Zheng Wei couldn't contain his excitement and asked, "Is that true"

Gouhun glanced at Tuoba Yang, then nodded. "It's true, I just killed him with my own hands. No mistake."

“That…”

Upon hearing this news, Zheng Wei felt both joy and disbelief.

Then he asked, "Are you sure That kid may be young, but he's more cunning than a fox. Are you sure you didn't kill the wrong person"

Tuobaye also said: "Tell the two of you in detail about what happened."

On receiving his master's command, Gouhun said: "This is how it went. When I infiltrated the station, I found four chief attendants guarding it, so I hid myself and didn't act rashly."

Later, those four people were led away, and I took the opportunity to sneak into the room...

He recounted the events from beginning to end, and finally said, "I can be certain that man is Ye Bufan."

When I entered, he was refining pills. His appearance was exactly the same as the image the previous owner had given me, and he was also a cultivator of physical body.

These three things together, I'm certain the person I killed was him.

Tuo Ba Yang immediately clapped his hands: “According to what you said, there is no mistake. That boy is undoubtedly Ye Bufan.”

Du Shengkun frowned and asked, “Even if it is Ye Bufan himself, are you sure he’s dead”

The Ghoul seemed annoyed by the back-to-back problems: "I've cut his head off, how is he not dead"

Zheng Wei said: "Since that's the case, why don't you bring his head back"

For some reason, he didn't see Ye Bufan's head, and he always felt a bit uneasy about it.

"I'm a Seven Star Assassin after all. Over the years, hundreds have died at my hands, never one exception."

"Ghoulish said impatiently, 'Kill is kill. I've never had the habit of bringing back heads.'"

"Since that's the case, I can rest assured."

Hearing that the other party was once a member of the Seven Star Assassins, Zheng Wei immediately became certain about many things. No wonder Tuo Ba Yang would let him act alone; it turned out he had such an identity.

An assassin's profession is killing, let alone the Seven Star Assassin. It seems Ye Bufan is bound to die this time.

Having understood this, he was overjoyed and excitedly looked at Tubaba Yang, "Your Highness, since Ye Bufan is dead, shouldn't his spot belong to my Lingxiao Academy"

"Of course, Your Highness always keeps his word."

Tuoba Yang finally removed this thorn in his side, leaving him feeling extremely pleased.

"Elder Zheng, just rest assured. Father has entrusted this matter entirely to me. Tomorrow, you can bring anyone you like, and I will have them directly enter the Tiānluó Secret Realm."

Then I shall thank the Crown Prince here.

Zheng Wei bowed and then left with great enthusiasm.

Du Shengkun didn't say anything, and followed the crown prince out of the mansion.

Back at the Du family courtyard, he hurried to Du Ruhui's room. After entering, he asked, "Grand Elder, how is your injury"

"I'm feeling much better now."

Du Ruishan's injuries were not serious, just some skin abrasions on his shoulders. He had already recovered most of it at this moment.

But thinking about the situation back then, thinking about Ke Zhen's downfall, he still felt a shiver down his spine.

"Master, this time it was truly dangerous. If I hadn't reacted quickly, I might not have been able to return."

"I don't know what kind of background that kid surnamed Ye has, he actually invited four powerful masters at the Void-Aperture Realm. Even Zhang He, the chief steward of the inner palace, and the elders of the three major sects, all came to help him."

Du Shengkun frowned, feeling that something was amiss.

First, he inquired in detail about the situation at the station. Then, he recounted the events that happened at the crown prince's mansion. Finally, he asked: "Elder, that Seven Star Assassin said Ye Bufan was dead, but I always feel something is off."

Du Ruhui didn't expect that there 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 kid, with four Void-Core experts guarding you, would you send them all out' "

Du Ruishan's expression changed slightly: "Certainly not, I must at least leave one to guard beside me so that I can be safe."

"That's right, since so many helpers have been called in, it shows that Ye Bufan has realized that someone wants to attack him. In this situation, how could he possibly not leave experts around him"

Du Shengkun said, "So I guess there's something wrong with this matter. That Ye kid probably didn't die!"ly shout to the surroundings: "What's all the fuss about Didn't you hear that this time is different from last time"This time my grandfather received treatment with both acupuncture and medication, so...
