ach other, one was dry wood and the other fire. When they met, they immediately burned with passion.It wasn't until the sun dipped below the horizon that the two of them, spent and breathless, finally..."Boy, even if you're not afraid of the Seven Steps Heartbreaking Powder's poison, you are still bound to die."

Wang Jin's face turned ashen with rage, his wrist flipped, and a dazzling long sword appeared in his palm.

The aura of a mid-stage fusion expert suddenly erupted, instantly seizing control of the entire room.

At the same time, the remaining eight men in black also drew their weapons and surrounded Ye Bufan from all eight directions, obviously to prevent him from escaping.

"It seems you're quite well-prepared."

Ye Bufan smiled, but his face showed no signs of panic whatsoever.

It seems you've got this in the bag. Could I ask you a few questions

A hint of doubt flashed across Wang Jin's mind. The other party's reaction was completely beyond his expectations. Could there be some hidden cards up their sleeve

Seeing that he wasn't speaking, Ye Bufan said again: "Just a few questions, it won't take long. Even if you're going to die, you should at least let me understand things, right"

"Ask away, what else is on your mind"

In Wang Jin's view, he had already completely controlled the situation and was not in a hurry to take action.

At the same time, my heart was filled with curiosity, wondering what else they might want to ask.

Ye Bufan said: "That... I want to ask, how did you know I was here Did you find me earlier, or did you just find this place later"

After the last incident, the prince has had people keeping an eye on Lingxiao Academy. We were informed as soon as you came out.

Wang Jin thought this wasn't really a secret, so he didn't hide it at all.

"Oh!"

Ye Bufan nodded and then asked, "Since that's the case, why wait until now to make a move"

"Need I say more When I arrived with my men, Miss had already fallen into your hands. Naturally, I had to ensure the safety of the county lord first."

Wang Jin was telling the truth. The Wangfu's spies had sent the information back, and he immediately brought experts here. By then, Song Yaoji had already fallen into Ye Bufan's hands.

He was afraid of being blackmailed, so he has been cautious and hesitant to take any action.

"That's how it is." Ye Bufan asked again, "Then when I first came to Ba Hua Lou and was changing clothes for Song Yaoji, why didn't you make a move"

Upon hearing this, even Song Yaoji turned to look over, her eyes filled with inquiry.

Back then, if Wang Jin had taken action with his men, he wouldn't have had to dress like a courtesan as he does now.

"My lady, please don't be angry. I did that for your safety."

Wang Jin hurriedly explained, "The prince said long ago that this kid is very cunning. You must be careful when you make a move."

That's why I sent someone to slip seven-step heartbreak powder into his wine. That way, when we make our move, we'll have the upper hand and ideally capture him alive.

Upon hearing his explanation, Song Yaoji merely snorted coldly and said no more.

Ye Bufan clapped his hands enthusiastically: "As expected, a good scheme."

"Kid, you talk too much. Time to die!"

Wang Jin, speaking, raised the long sword in his hand again, seeming about to strike.

"Wait, wait, one last question."

Wang Jincheng said with a sullen face, "If you have anything else to say, spit it out!"

Ye Bufan smiled faintly: “I just wanted to ask you, how long would it take a Grandmaster at the peak of the Hunyuan stage to get here from the Imperial Palace”

Wang Jin hesitated for a moment, then his expression changed instantly, "You mean Zheng Sanbao will come"

It's no wonder he had such doubts. Looking at the entire Tianfeng Empire's royal city, the only one who could reach the peak of the Nascent Soul stage was Zheng Sanbao, the first master in the palace.

"Or what You think I'm just chatting with you for fun"

In fact, since Wang Jin appeared, Ye Bufan had been feeling extremely nervous, but he didn't show it as easily as on the surface.

He first secretly crushed the jade talisman that Zheng San had kept for him, and then he tried his best to delay time, waiting for reinforcements to arrive.

And just now, he had already sensed Zheng Sanbao's presence, so he finally relaxed completely.

"Take action!"

Wang Jin also realized something was wrong. He originally thought he had completely controlled the situation, but it turned out to be far from the case; the other party still had reinforcements behind them.

At this moment, he had no hesitation whatsoever. His sword transformed into a flash of brilliance, shooting towards Ye Bufan's chest.

At the same time, eight other cultivators at the Refining Void realm also made their move, each wielding their weapons and charging towards Ye Bufan.

Just then, a cold snort echoed through the entire room. Following that, a figure clad in blue robes appeared before everyone, shielding Ye Bufan behind him. It was Zheng Sanbao, the chief steward of the Imperial Household.

"What guts!"

As a eunuch, Zheng Sanbao had always dreamed of restoring his broken body. He couldn't do it before, but now he finally saw hope in Ye Bufan.

These people before him were going to destroy hope, something he could never accept. Anger surged within him, and his aura flared suddenly.

As the number one expert in the Tianfeng Empire's capital city, he was certainly not undeservedly renowned. With a casual flick of his sleeve, the eight Void Refinement Realm powerhouses flew out like leaves and subsequently exploded into a sky full of blood mist.

There's no way around it, the cultivation world values strength above all else. In the face of a cultivator at the peak of the Nascent Soul stage, these people are truly no different from ants, completely lacking any ability to resist.

After dealing with those people, he pointed again, a sharp gust of wind shot directly towards Wang Jin.

Wang Jin was astonished and immediately launched a full-force punch.

It's a pity that the gap between the middle stage of integration and the great consummation of integration is too big. With all his might, his punch still couldn't offer any resistance.

Zheng Sanbao's strike was like a sharp javelin, piercing through his opponent's fist in an instant and landing on his chest.

Wang Jin's body was immediately thrown backward, spraying blood from his mouth in mid-air before crashing heavily to the ground.

He was filled with terror at this moment. He knew there was a gap between himself and Zheng Sanbao, but he never expected the gap to be so large that he couldn't even block the other's single move.

He tried to scramble to his feet and escape, but found that the acupoints on his body had been completely sealed, leaving him unable to summon even a shred of strength.

Zheng Sanbao's eyes flashed a hint of disdain, then he turned to look at Ye Bufan, a kind smile spreading across his stern face: "Doctor Ye, has the old slave come too late"

"No, no. I should be thanking the Grand Steward for saving my life."

Ye Bufan bowed to the old eunuch, although he knew the other party had something to ask of him, but after all, he had saved his life. This kindness had to be remembered.

"It's nothing, just some small-time clowns. " Zheng Sanbao waved his hand dismissively and then pointed to Wang Jin beside him, "I didn't kill him just now, now it's all up to Dr. Ye."

"Thank you, Master Manager."

Ye Bufan smiled, then strode towards Wang Jin. He first reached out and took off the other's storage ring.

In front of Zheng Sanbao, he dared not take the other's soul, even the eight people who had just died.

Although the two are allies now, who knows what the future holds It's best to keep one's secrets close.

Having removed the restrictions from the storage ring, he swept his divine sense into it and discovered that there were indeed quite a few good things inside.

Countless gold coins and piles of spirit stones, as well as various other things like pills and alchemy materials.

Suddenly, his attention fell on a small bottle beside him. With a thought, it appeared in his palm.ithin the Heavenly Thunder Pearl.At this moment, the dragon was dozens of zhang long, with teeth bared and claws outstretched. The overwhelming might of the dragon clan swept across the entire scene."...
