omy. "I heard that you were my son's ex-girlfriend Tell me, is my son's death related to you""No, Mr. Lu, really not."Fang Xiaqi was so frightened that her voice trembled. She stammered, "This is the...Xuanyuan Zhantian pointed at his own two mung bean eyes: "This old man has piercing eyes, how could they possibly hide their little cultivation from me"

Ye Bufan was startled, secretly thinking to himself what level of cultivation this old man possessed. Even now, he couldn't see through his depths.

It's effortless for him to see through people like Bai Li Xing Kong, this kind of ability is definitely not ordinary.

And just then, something even more shocking happened. Xuanyuan Zhantian smiled at him.

"Little one, I never expected you to have something as wonderful as a spatial microcosm. It makes this old man envious."

"Um... you can tell that"

Ye Bufan was truly shocked this time. The reason he secretly brought Lu Xue Man and others into the Dragon King's Hall was to keep secrets, but the old man still found out.

Since his debut, he has met many masters, including those at the peak of Great Vehicle. This is the first time someone has seen through his independent space.

Xuan Yuan Zhan Tian let out a chuckle and raised his wine bottle, taking another large gulp. "As I said, this old man has eyes like a hawk. There's nothing I can't see through."

Ye Bufan came back to his senses from the shock. There was one thing he could be sure of: this old man had no ill intentions towards him.

He smirked, "Having small eyes really has its perks."

As he spoke, he reached out and took the old man's remaining half pig's trotter, gnawing on it with force: "They didn't give you a hard time, did they"

Xuanyuan Zhan Tian curled his lips: "Little one, you don't need to probe. Those few heads of garlic aren't even in this old man's eyes."

Ye Bufan gave an embarrassed smile: "This... was I seen through again"

He asked this to test the old man's depth.

"As an old man, I've lived for so many years, what can I not see through"

Xuan Yuan Zhan Tian curled his lip. "By the way, I just prepared a big gift for you, so that I don't always have to say I'm eating your food."

"A grand gift What kind of gift"

Ye Bufan was full of curiosity. Besides that half-part of the Three Purities in One, this old man had been as poor as a church mouse until now, and Ye Bufan didn't know what to give him.

Of course it's a good thing.

Xuanyuan Zhantian stretched out his greasy finger and pointed toward the corner of the wall.

Ye Bufan's gaze followed and saw a large burlap sack there, bulging inside.

He swiped his hand, a sharp gust of wind directly severing the ropes on the sack. A person emerged, it was none other than Prince Bai Li Hongjun.

But this guy was hit with a pressure point, and is now unconscious.

"This...this..."

Ye Bufan's eyes widened in shock, almost popping out of their sockets.

This old man shocked himself night after night, each one more explosive than the last.

Shouldn't Bai Li Hongjun be hiding in the deep palace now There are so many powerful people there, how did this old man get him out

After the shock subsided, he swallowed hard and took a moment to compose himself.

"Old man, how did you do that"

"Why ask so many questions" Xuanyuan Zhantian said nonchalantly, "I saw you had fun with it last time, so the old man brought it out again since he was bored."

"As for my food expenses these past few days, how much I can get depends on you."

"Old man, you're really something! I'll add two more dishes for you later and get some good wine!"

Ye Bufan was filled with excitement. With Bai Li Hongjun in his hands, he could not only make a hefty profit but also get even for the wrongs he had suffered.

I've been repeatedly suppressed by Bai Li Xing Kong these past few days, and to be honest, I'm quite upset about it.

He released Nalan Yujia and the others from the Dragon King Hall, gave them a brief explanation, and then turned and left the room.

Coming to a secluded, deserted place, just like last time, he replicated the process. He created another doppelganger, dressed him in a black robe to resemble a demon clan member, and with Baili Hongjun in his arms, vanished into the night sky.

The inner courtyard of the Imperial Palace in the Holy Dragon Empire was now in utter chaos.

The sudden disappearance of the Crown Prince is a huge deal. Countless palace guards are searching everywhere, and the Imperial City has been completely sealed off today, but there's still no trace of him.

In the Golden Hall, Emperor Baili Xingyun of the Shenglong Empire sat in the center with a sullen expression. Before him stood Prince Shenwu.

Bai Li Xing Kong had just returned to the Prince's Manor when he received a message from the Imperial Guard, saying that the Crown Prince had gone missing again and asking him to enter the palace immediately.

This surprised him. Why did something always happen to the prince whenever he went to the station to assassinate Ye Bufan Was it a coincidence or was someone deliberately doing this

And while last time it could be attributed to carelessness, this time is completely different.

The Forbidden City was heavily guarded, with powerful warriors everywhere. Not even a fly could get out, so who could have possibly kidnapped the crown prince

With doubts swirling in his mind, he rushed into the palace.

Bai Li Xingyun briefly explained the matter of the prince's disappearance, then asked: "Brother Emperor, what happened to Jun'er being kidnapped last time I suspect it was the same person. Tell me in detail."

That's how it is...

"Having walked a hundred miles, I've recounted everything from beginning to end. The last time, it was me and several elders who were all poisoned. The defenses within the palace had become lax, which allowed the other party to succeed."

"How could such a thing happen within the Imperial Palace's inner court today"

"No matter who it is, this is a blatant provocation of my royal majesty."

This time, if that person appears again, no matter what, we must not let him escape. We must capture him and find out who dares to defy me!

"A hundred miles away, Kong also gritted his teeth in hatred: 'Rest assured, as long as that kid comes out, this time we won't let him escape...' "

Before he could finish his words, a rough voice boomed across the entire imperial city.

"Listen up, people of the Holy Dragon Empire, I have your prince in my possession. If you want him back, bring one hundred top-grade spirit stones!"

At this moment, the east was just beginning to brighten, and many people were still asleep. After that shout, everyone woke up from their dreams instantly, and all sleepiness vanished.

"Damn it, what's going on How was the prince robbed again"

"What's going on Is kidnapping the prince this easy You just rob people"

"One hundred top-grade spirit stones Has the price gone up Who is this guy How dare he..."

For a time, the entire imperial city was in an uproar. People rushed out of their homes, and cultivators soared into the air, flying directly towards the direction from which the sound came.

Unlike last time, this time the opponent controls the city gate of Nanshi.

Bai Li Xing, bursting with a strong killing intent: "Damn it, this guy actually came!"

From the tone of his voice and the price he quoted, he could definitively tell that it was the same person as last time.

"Bai Li Xing's voice was filled with anger: 'Bring more people over. This time, no matter what, we can't let him escape again.'"

"First, we must save Jun'er. My son cannot meet with harm!"

"I know!"

Bai Li Xingkong promised with a nod and immediately summoned the powerful figures within the imperial palace. He assembled dozens of experts at the Great Ascension stage or above, and together they took to the sky, carrying an overwhelming killing intent towards Nancheng.ut forty or fifty uniformed civil servants disembarked, they rushed into the building."What audacity! Who let you in Who allowed you to resume your work"A middle-aged bald man in a tax uniform charged...
