Chapter 2254: Three Elders of the Temple Guardians
for dinner tonight. He's the one who bought the phone."Ouyang Lan said, "Oh! Yes, since they sent such an expensive phone, I should thank them properly!"Tianhao Grand Restaurant is the largest dining..."Since you've gone to such lengths to come after me, you're my enemy. An enemy in the open is safer than one lurking in the shadows."
Ye Bufan said, "Furthermore, I need to find out who you really are, why you're targeting me, and if there are others helping you. The enemy must be completely eradicated."
“You’re young, but you're a sly old fox.”
Thinking that she had already been seen through, and that she was still putting on a show in front of them, Lan Meier felt extremely annoyed.
Ye Bufan said, "I wasn't sure what you wanted at first, so I tried to probe. I had Chu Lingxi show her true face in front of you, and then suddenly people from Mount Shu Manor arrived."
From that moment, I was certain, you truly wanted to kill me.
Lan Meier bit her red lips, thinking she had found a loophole, but it turned out to be intentional bait.
"Ye Bufan said, "Someone leaked the news that I was impersonating Guan Qirui to the Yuan family, causing Yuan Da hua to come after me."
Later, there were also rumors spread about Yuan Jia and me getting the Dragon-Sucking Stone. You've been making enemies for me everywhere, haven't you
"Yes, it's me."
Lan Meier gritted her teeth and said, "It's a pity that those guys are trash. They haven't been able to kill you even after so many chances."
"So you couldn't bear to wait any longer and decided to get involved yourself."
"Speaking of which, Ye Bufan looked at her with piercing eyes, "I just don't understand, what grudge do I have against you, why do you want to kill me"
"I'm certain I've never met you before, and there's no possible reason for any animosity."
He had only been on the Kunlun Continent for a little over a month and was certain he had never seen this woman before.
"Yes, I'm going to kill you because you hurt the one I love most."
At this point, Lan Meier's delicate features twisted into a ferocious grimace.
“I am one of the twelve holy sons of the Demon Sect. Shao Feng is my most beloved person, but you killed him. You tell me, should I kill you to avenge my blood feud!”
"Oh! So you're from the Demon Sect!"
Only then did Ye Bufan understand. No wonder the other party had such exquisite concealment and disguise skills; they were from the Demon Sect.
"I've never cared about the difference between good and evil, but I don't care if you're a holy child of the demon sect or not. If you provoke me, there won't be any politeness. Shao Feng completely deserved his death."
Lan Meier screamed crazily: "I don't ask for reasons, I'm just a woman, I only know that you killed the person I like most, so I want revenge!" Ye Bufan nodded: "I understand your feelings, but unfortunately you are destined to kill me. Be disappointed!"
"Really"
"You mean you're waiting for reinforcements"
"You are indeed the smartest man I've ever met, it's just too late now."
Lan Meier called out to the elder beside her, "Elder, please make a move!"
All of the present people were startled, they turned their heads to look, and saw that the valley was surrounded by black mist. They had seen this thing before, it was demonic energy.
Compared to before, Shao Feng's demonic energy this time is much more intense, carrying a heavy and overwhelming pressure.
Three tall middle-aged men emerged from the demonic aura, surrounding the crowd in a pincer movement.
Ye Bufan's expression suddenly became solemn. He could feel that the three people were incredibly powerful, and any one of them was more powerful than Dugu Xiu.
If it's just one, it's not too difficult to deal with. But if there are three at once, that's a bit more troublesome.
He reached out and grabbed Lan Meier's wrist, his other hand clamping tightly around her throat. With just a little more force, he could crush her windpipe.
Seeing this, the middle-aged man at the head immediately changed his expression: "Boy, you quickly let go of the Saintess, or I will definitely dismember you, skin and soul!"
"Don't rush, let's talk things through."
Ye Bufan looked at the three with a slight smile, then said, "Ms. Lan, your reinforcements are very powerful. Would you like to introduce them to me"
Sure thing!
Although her life was hanging by a thread, Lan Me'er still appeared extremely composed, smiling with captivating allure.
"These three are the Three Great Elders of our Demon Sect, who guard Tianluo Prefecture. They are: First Elder Qu Changsheng, Second Elder Mo Changlin, and Third Elder Zeng Changshou."
"They're all from the older generation, that's why they look so thin."
Ye Bufan gave a playful smile. "Three elders, how about we make a deal I'll exchange this woman in my hands for all of us leaving."
Before those three could speak, Lan Meier said, "Don't even dream about it. Our demon sect has always put interests first. We laid out this plan for so long to trap you here, why would we let you leave"
"Ye Bufan said, "How is it Aren't you a Saintess Isn't it worth trading one Saintess for so many ordinary people"
"Among our Demon Sect, there are twelve disciples like me, holy sons and daughters. Exchanging one of us for so many of you is definitely a good deal."
Here the Elder Qu Chóngshēng said: “That’s right, boy. Quickly release the Saintess, and I can let you keep your whole body.”
"You're being too harsh. In business, we need to take things slowly and talk it out."
Ye Bufan could tell that the three of them hadn't directly attacked, still taking into consideration the Blue Demon Girl in his hands.
But it's also unlikely they would let themselves go free. In this situation, we can only settle for second best.
"I've been preparing for so long, I can't let you all work in vain. So, here's the deal: I'll stay, and I'll trade places with one of you. You get to leave in exchange for this Holy Maiden."
"What do you think about this deal If it doesn't work out, I'll have to snap her neck."
"This…"
The three elders of the Demon Sect looked at each other. To be honest, they still respected Lan Meier very much.
Qu Changsheng pointed at Xiaoqing and said, "You can't leave, and that little girl beside you must stay. The others can go."
"Deal."
In Ye Bufan's view, this was already the best outcome. With a thought, he summoned Jiutian and turned to Zhongli Mei and Naran Yujia: "You guys take everyone and leave quickly."
"No, I won't leave, if we die, we all die together."
Nalan Yujia was the first to jump out and object. She also saw through the formidable strength of the three elders before her.
Jiang Fangzhou chimed in, "That's right, Big Brother Ye. There's strength in numbers. Let's fight them together! Even if we die, we have to tear off a piece of flesh from them."
Everyone else chimed in, saying they didn't want to leave either.
"Be quiet, all of you!"
Ye Bufan's expression turned cold. "With your cultivation level, what use is there in staying Just leave quickly, or you'll only hold me back later!"
“That…”
Seeing Ye Bufan's anger, everyone immediately shut their mouths and didn't dare to speak. However, no one left.
Ye Bufan sighed and sent a voice transmission to everyone: "You guys hurry up and leave, return to the Tianfeng Empire and wait for me. Qing and I will escape much faster than you all. Otherwise, we'll all die together."
Hearing him say this, the crowd had no choice but to turn around and jump onto the ninth heaven.
"Xiaofan, you must be careful. If anything happens to you, I will go all out to seek revenge from the demon clan."
Nalan Yuji tossed a sentence and then, controlling the Nine Heavens, sped away.
"When they completely disappear into the horizon, Ye Bufan playfully looked at Lan Meier: "Do you guess if I will really let you go"to ask for ten breaths of time from the other person. Now, he hasn't even had a chance to make a move.After a brief moment of silence, the scene erupted in cheers as everyone present cheered and appla...
