Chapter 1133: The End of the Heavenly Ladder

o the room."I have seen the Chief Instructor."Murong Ping, according to the etiquette of the Heavenly Soldiers Squad, bowed respectfully, his eyes filled with awe.He was also Sima Wei's pursuer back t...Ye Bufan was quite strange in his heart. He was still guessing what kind of difficulties would arise afterwards, but he found that the road ahead was smooth and nothing happened.

What's going on Did I just pass like that

With a puzzled look, he slowly walked upward, floor 60, floor 70, all the way to floor 99, but nothing happened.

"Maybe that's it, I really passed the test."

Thinking to himself, Ye Bufan stepped onto the 100th floor. Suddenly, the scene before him changed, and he found himself in a cave.

He hurriedly circulated his true qi, carefully on guard, but there was still no movement around him.

"Where am I"

He began to look around. The cave was spacious, and from here he could see the light of day, the blue sky, white clouds, birds, and the scent of flowers.

"This... This is Shenlong Island"

He was stunned to find that this place was the cave where the Yin-Yang Sect had previously discovered the barrier, and also the place where those captured women had been held captive.

So, this means he's already made it out. The staircase in the Dragon King Palace leads directly to that cave's exit, and this barrier is only one-way; you can leave but not enter.

Thinking about this, he turned back to try, only to be bounced back by the barrier. It was indeed impossible to enter once you came out.

"Holy crap, this is insane!"

Ye Bufan's heart was in turmoil. Originally, he wanted to step into the Dragon King Palace. Whether or not he could obtain the inheritance was secondary. The most important thing was to find his way home and then lead everyone away together.

Now that the path is found, I can't go back.

Leng Qingqiu, He Shuangshuang, and Huang Xiaomei were still inside the Dragon King's Hall. He couldn't just leave the three women there. He wished he had taken them all up the Heavenly Ladder with him.

It's too late to regret, there's no other way but to try again to get back to the Dragon King's Palace and see if that whirlpool is still usable.

Thinking about this, he strode towards the cave entrance.

As soon as he reached the entrance of the cave, he stopped in his tracks, his face growing grave.

Hundreds of people were guarding the entrance of the cave. Each of them was dressed in black and covered their faces with black masks, making it impossible to see their features. However, one could tell from their aura that they were all members of the Yin-Yang Sect.

Standing before them was an old woman of seventy or eighty, dressed in black. Her hair was as white as snow and her skin was wrinkled like a dried persimmon. At this moment, she was staring straight at him with piercing eyes.

A divine sense sweep revealed that the other party's cultivation had reached the peak of the Heavenly Rank.

What bothered him most, however, was that two people were hanging from a large tree a hundred meters away. It was Wang Xue'ning and Huang Xiaqing.

Each of them had two Yin-Yang Sect disciples wielding long swords standing behind them, their cultivation having clearly reached the Heavenly Rank.

It's obvious that the other party attaches great importance to these two people and guards them very strictly.

He had once thought about what he would do if he ever came across the Yin Yang Sect, perhaps guarding this place. He never expected Wang Xue'ning and Huang Xiaoqing to become hostages, leaving him caught off guard.

"桀桀…"

A sinister chuckle escaped the old woman's lips as she took measured steps toward him.

"Kid, it seems my judgment was right. You did indeed come out from here."

Ye Bufan took a deep breath, suppressing the anger in his heart.

He now wished he could immediately rush up and slaughter these people, but with the hostages in their hands, he had to be cautious.

Most importantly, the distance between Wang Xueying and him was far too great, exceeding 100 meters. Even if Ye Tian were to be released at this moment, there would be no way to save her.

"Well, what do you want to do"

"You killed the people of my sect and stole the treasures from the ancient site belonging to me. I've been waiting for you here for so many days. What do you think I should do"

"Turns out this old woman in black is the leader of the Yin Yang sect. Now that she has them hostage, she's completely fearless: “If you want to save your women, hand over the treasures from the ancient ruins. Maybe I’ll spare you all for the sake of the precious artifacts.” "

"I told you I made a pointless trip. I didn't get any treasures, do you believe me"

The old woman in black said sinisterly, "What do you think Do you take me for a fool"

Ye Bufan had no choice but to accept it. If he were in the same situation, he wouldn't believe it either. But that was the reality of things.

I went to the Dragon King Palace myself, and my cultivation level did increase a lot, but that was because of the jade I brought with me. It had nothing to do with the Dragon King Palace itself, and I didn't get any other benefits.

Whether you believe it or not, it's really like that. This is just another world, there are no treasures here at all.

"Kid, are you really so heartless that you don't care about those two women's lives, or do you think I wouldn't dare to kill them"

A sinister look flashed across the old woman in black's face as she waved her hand behind her: "Kill the girl on the left."

Ye Bufan roared, "You dare! If you so much as touch one of them, I'll destroy your Yin Yang Sect!"

"This master has lived for over 100 years, do you think I'm easily intimidated"

The old woman in black sneered, waved her hand behind her. A man in black behind Huang Xiaoqing raised his knife and chopped off her head with a crack.

"Ah!"

Ye Bufan was caught off guard. He didn't expect the other party to actually kill him when they said they would.

Meanwhile, Wang Xue'ning beside him turned pale with fright and cried out nervously, "Xiao Fan, save me quickly!"

"Yin-Yang Cult, you wait for me…"

Ye Bufan gnashed his teeth in hatred. Although Huang Xiaqing didn't have a close relationship with him, he couldn't bear to see such a young girl lose her life for him.

"This deity has no time to waste with you. I'll give you three more breaths. If you don't hand over the treasure, I'll kill the remaining woman right now."

3...2...1...

The elderly woman in black spoke once more, raising her right hand high, ready to give her command.

"Hold on, I'll get it."

Ye Bufan hurriedly called out.

A wicked grin spread across the old woman's ugly face: "You should have done this sooner, boy. You had to make things so complicated."

"Come on, what treasures have you gotten"

Although Ye Bufan didn't get the treasure, he had it before. Helplessly, he could only reach out and take out the Tianlei Orb. Suddenly, a burst of lightning flashed.

Feeling the power of the Sky Thunder Pearl, all the members of the Yin-Yang Sect around them retreated, including the black-robed old woman, who also took a few steps back, her eyes showing extreme apprehension.

Let her go, here's this for you.

"Hey, kid, are you messing with me"

The old woman in black revealed a trace of anger on her face. Their Yin-Yang Sect originally practiced evil cultivation methods and were most afraid of lightning.

Now they've given her a Tian Lei Pearl. Whether it's a treasure or not, it's useless to them and could even be harmful. They can't use it at all.

"Um... won't this work Then let me find you another one."

Unable to do anything else, Ye Bufan took out the Refining Demon Bottle again.

"Throw it over here so I can see it."

The old woman in black remained highly alert.

Ye Bufan raised his hand and threw out the spirit beast bottle.

Although he was extremely reluctant to part with this personally crafted spiritual treasure, there was no other choice. For Wang Xue'ning's life, he had already given up everything else.

"This bottle still seems to be the same."

Although the old woman in black did not recognize the magic bottle, with her cultivation and vision, she could still feel that this bottle was extraordinary.

"Can we let them go now"

"Don't worry, I keep my promises. Since I agreed to release them, I will. But before that, we need to settle our accounts."

The old woman in black said coldly, "You killed two protectors of our sect, Qu Yang and Han Caifeng, before. Now you go to atone for them."could only passively take the hit, but they didn't expect him to be able to control lightning as well.This includes Xie Changsi, who had just been controlling lightning to strike people, having a blas...
