side-by-side with Ye Tian.But he soon discovered that Ye Tian not only possessed great strength, but also astonishing speed, which put him at a disadvantage in this area as well.After just a few move...Leng Qingqiu kept staring at Ye Bufan's back until he completely disappeared, then reluctantly withdrew her gaze.

Her exquisite face held a mixture of novelty, excitement, and reluctance. She truly wanted to run straight to this man and leave with him, but she also knew it wasn't the right time yet.

The favor of the Hanjian Immortal Sect must be repaid, and only then can I follow my man without any burden.

Li Miaozhen said, "Alright Qingqiu, hurry back and adjust your state, prepare for the competition."

"Well, I will definitely keep my promise."

Leng Qingqiu finished speaking and turned to go back to her room.

After she left, Li Miaozhen's expression instantly turned cold, and the smile on her face vanished.

Lily said, "Elder, you wouldn't really be making Senior Sister Leng leave, would you"

Li Miaozhen said coldly, "Qingqiu is a once-in-a-thousand-years genius disciple of our sect. How could we possibly let her follow a mere Void Refining Realm cultivator"

Lily was a bit confused: "But didn't you just agree to..."

"I did agree, but does it matter"

Li Miaozhen sneered, "You think that kid can really wait until then I'm afraid he's already in grave danger."

Lily, bewildered, asked, "What do you mean"

Li Miaozhen said, “He, a mere Refinement Void Realm cultivator, is so overreaching that he dares to provoke even the core disciples of the three major Nine-Star Sects.”

Amongst those from our Hanshan Immortal Sect, they wouldn't dare to do anything. But once we leave this place, what then

Lily's eyes lit up: "I understand now, those gentlemen were truly smitten with Senior Sister Leng."

If their strengths were equal, it wouldn't be a big deal. The key is that the kid's strength is too low. I suppose someone has a hard time swallowing this.

Li Miaozhen said: "As for others, I don't know. But that Nangong kid from the Ji Jianmen is a narrow-minded person. He will definitely make a move."

"Lily immediately shot up a big thumb: 'Elder, you are so cunning! Once that kid is crippled, Senior Sister won't think about leaving the sect anymore.'"

Li Miaozhen's face showed a hint of smugness: "Even if Ye Bufan manages to escape this ordeal, what difference does it make His strength is too weak; in the Genius Demon War, he can only be a passing visitor."

Last time, Tian Luo Zhou had no victories in the competition. The game ended as soon as it began, and this year probably won't be much better.

This kid is still thinking about getting into the top ten, it's just a daydream, there's no chance at all.

Lily nodded repeatedly, then continued, "Elder, what if I'm just saying hypothetically What if Ye Bufan actually entered the top ten, and Senior Sister Leng also successfully reached the top three Would you really make them leave"

Don't even think about it, you think a talented disciple from a sect is that easy to find

If that kid doesn't make it into the top ten, he might be able to save his life. Otherwise, he's going to die.

As for the successor to the Sword Tomb, the sect absolutely will not allow any threats to exist. If it truly comes to that, the young man surnamed Ye will inevitably be erased.

"Okay, some things you shouldn't know too much about. Mind your own business."

Li Miaozhen finished speaking and turned to leave the room.

Ye Bufan and the other person walked out of the gate. Xiao Qing asked, "Brother Ye, since you have found your wife, why don't you take her with you"

"Don't worry, with me around that old hag won't stand a chance."

"No need to rush."

Ye Bufan, though he also wanted to take Leng Qingqiu away immediately, he knew now was not the time.

If they really did that, the Hanjian Immortal Sect would immediately turn against them. At that time, relying on Xiaoqing alone wouldn't be enough to withstand so many Mahayana cultivators.

Most importantly, both he and Leng Qingqiu needed this competition to enter the Tenth-Order Sky Piercing Tower together and make the most of their time to improve their strength. That was the top priority.

On the other hand, taking Qingqiu for a walk in a few days might not be a bad idea either.

And just then, he raised an eyebrow and, with Xiaoqing, walked toward a secluded, deserted alleyway.

This place was already quite remote, and now that night had fallen, it was pitch black all around. It looked particularly desolate.

Xiaoqing quickly noticed something was wrong: “Ye Gege, did you take a wrong turn This isn't the road we came on.”

"That's right, some people want to play with us, so we'll have a good time playing with them."

Ye Bufan's mouth curled into a playful smile, he walked to a spacious open area, and turned back to the darkness, saying: "Aren't you coming out Are you not satisfied with this place yet"

As soon as he finished speaking, seven or eight dark figures emerged from the darkness. Leading them was Nangong Du, the core disciple of Jijiangmen, followed by Duan Rui and the others who had been there before.

"Oh, isn't this Young Master Nangong I didn't expect to see you again so soon."

Ye Bufan saw him and chuckled: "Come on, kneel down quickly. You don't have to call me father, but with a son like you, I wouldn't want to be associated with you."

"Kid, are you looking for death!"

NanGong Du's face turned dark as night. As the most outstanding disciple of Ji Jian Men, when had he ever been mocked like this

Ye Bufan chuckled playfully: "What You just said that yourself. Did I misunderstand You weren't speaking, were you passing gas"

"Hey, kid, do you know what you're doing"

Nan Gong's eyes blazed with fury. He had coveted the cold sword fairy for a long time, and today he had spared no expense, bringing so many people here and making full preparations.

If he lost to someone else, he would just bear it, whether it was Feng Wuhen or Hua Ruoyu could be. But the result ended up with him losing to a mere ant at the Refining Void Realm.

Ye Bufan still had a smile on his face: "Of course I know, just reminding Young Master Nangong to keep his promise."

"You..."

Palace Master Nan Gong's face was ashen. He didn't expect that even at this time, the other party would still be so reckless.

"Senior Brother Nangong, there's no need to waste words with him. Leave him to me."

Duan Rui took a step forward, ready to strike.

Although Nangong Du was angry, he did not attack directly.

In his opinion, a Void-Core Peak expert attacking a cultivator of the Refinement-Void realm was simply lowering himself.

He gritted his teeth and roared, "Give him a severe beating, then strip him naked and hang him in the most prominent location within the imperial city. I want Leng Qingqiu to have a good look and see how useless the man she chose is!"

To his surprise, as soon as he finished speaking, Ye Bufan started clapping from over there.

"This method is good, let's do it your way!"

"Well, well, looks like you're not so clueless after all!"

Duan Rui didn't understand the meaning behind his words at all. He wore a puzzled smile and reached out with his big hand to grab him.

In his view, dealing with a Refining Void Realm cultivator with his own cultivation was simply too easy.

To his utter astonishment, the moment he reached out, a small fist, as white as jade, materialized before him.

The tiny fist was small but crystal clear, like a work of art. Yet it made him feel an unprecedented pressure.

Before he could even react, Xiaoqing's fist slammed hard into his bridge of the nose with a sickening crunch. He was sent flying backwards.i, who is admired by thousands in Daikan Country, can only helplessly turn out his pockets at this moment.Apart from those eight lower-grade spirit stones, there was truly nothing else.“As you can see...
