Chapter 4042: Information is Money

menacingly, sharp and awe-inspiring.Others couldn't see anything unusual, but Ye Bufan could clearly feel the heavy murderous aura emanating from the blade."This... how does a headache have anything...Seeing Ye Bufan remain silent for a long time, Zhuge Qingyang was somewhat surprised: "Young Master Ye, is there something wrong"

"No, no, I was just lost in thought."

"Senior, I won't disturb you any further. I'll go back and prepare. I'll participate in the Dan King Competition tomorrow."

Ye Bufan waved his hand, "There are some things I can't tell this old man yet."

Since he had cleared up all the questions in his mind, there was no need for him to stay here any longer. After saying goodbye, he returned to his room.

As for the Dan Wang Grand Competition, even though Hua Qiqi had mentioned that Zhuge Qingyang was the head adjudicator, he didn't bother to inquire about it.

If he could obtain the Essence Fruit and raise his spiritual power, the position of Alchemist King would undoubtedly belong to him.

If it cannot be improved in the short term, everything is in vain.

After returning to his room, he began to think alone about the matter of the Xuanji Emperor. This was the most important issue at hand.

First, the opponent's strength should be that they haven't fully recovered after being reborn. According to their last performance level, they are basically at the peak of the Immortal Venerable stage.

Once you add the ability to manipulate Heaven and Earth's energy and control space, killing enemies of higher ranks becomes effortless.

I don't know how this old geezer was resurrected, or if he took over someone else's body. Either way, his current strength hasn't reached its previous level.

After such a long time since our last encounter, not showing up to claim the Sun Eater Bow must mean there's something special going on.

Either seize the opportunity to break through, or prepare for the Dan King Competition.

Seeing the other party rush to sign up, it should be mostly the latter's faction.

A former Saint Emperor, why would he come to participate in the Dan Wang Grand Competition It definitely isn't for fame.

There are only two possibilities. It could be for the prizes, or it could be for a spot in the Xianpa Lingjing.

Thinking of this, Ye Bufan's heart warmed. It seemed that there must be some treasure in the Xianpa Lingjing that was beneficial to his rapid recovery of cultivation, otherwise, he wouldn't have taken such action.

When Xuanji Emperor signed up, he used the name Mu Ji. It's obvious that he split Xuanji's second character apart and used it.

As for his appearance, it definitely wasn't his own from before. Either he had taken over someone else's body or disguised himself.

One thing is certain, he dared not expose his true identity.

Even within the Mystical Immortal Realm, he didn't use the Heaven-Shifting Golden Lotus until he was pushed into a corner. He only used it to conceal his identity.

That's understandable, a reborn Saint Emperor, if his strength fully recovers then there's nothing to say.

But he didn't, and now he has only just reached the peak of Immortal Venerable. Once this news gets out, he will probably become a target for countless powerful beings.

A cave dwelling passed down from ancient times would drive countless people mad, let alone the rebirth of a Holy Emperor.

Not to mention, the ever-changing Heaven Gold alone would make countless people covet it.

Thinking about this, Ye Bufan's lips curled into a smile. It seems that now only he knows the identity of the Xuanji Emperor. He can take advantage of this situation.

Information is wealth. This saying holds true in the business world on Earth and equally so in the fairy realm.

At the same time, at the Starry Glory Sect's stronghold, Elder Eight, Qu Changsheng, was furious. He roared at the several Immortal Emperor-level experts under his command.

"Have you guys been out for so long and still haven't figured out who the killer is"

Originally, Qu Heng was his most beloved son and a twelfth-rank Immortal Pill Master of the sect. Therefore, he was given a red card in Xingyao Sect as an exception.

But just a little while ago, his soul tablet suddenly shattered. This enraged Qu Changsheng, who immediately dispatched people to investigate who had killed his son.

The people sent out investigated all night but found no leads.

"Elder, we've investigated thoroughly, but found no signs of the young master having any enemies. We also don't know why he quietly left the city, nor what his purpose might be."

The Celestial Emperor at his peak, full of grievances, stood where Qu Heng had fallen. There wasn't a single soul there, not even a bird. How could such a thing be investigated

But there's no way around it, facing a Saint Emperor-level powerhouse, he could only patiently explain.

Actually, the blame can only be placed on Qu Heng himself. He was too arrogant, thinking that killing a Xianzun-level powerhouse would be an easy feat with no unexpected turns.

To prevent the news from reaching Hua Qiqi and the Alchemist's Guild, he did everything quietly and left no trace. This way, even if Xingyao Sect wanted to investigate, they wouldn't find any clues.

"You're all worthless, get back to work!"

Qu Changsheng was radiating killing intent all over his body. He had originally hoped that his son would shine brightly in the Dan Wang Grand Competition, bringing glory to their ancestors.

The results turned out well, the Danwang competition started immediately, but his son died. The most infuriating thing is that to this day, they still don't know who the murderer is.

"Yes!"

Those few Heavenly Emperor-level powerhouses dared not speak out, they could only agree with a sound and retreat once more.

On the other side, at the residence of the Lingxiao Sect, Liu Wuzhou stood respectfully in front of a middle-aged scholar. It was none other than the sect master of the Lingxiao Sect, Ni Sākong, a fifth-rank Saint Emperor.

He originally thought that after he brought the message back, the sect master would go to Qinjian Mountain Villa to ask for someone, but so much time had passed and there was no movement at all.

Seeing that the Dan Wang Grand Competition was about to begin, he asked: “Master Sect Leader, are we just going to let that kid surnamed Ye go”

"What's the rush, he'll just live a few more days anyway."

Ni Sa gazed out the window, her voice calm and measured. "

Here in Tiansheng City, there are some things we're not comfortable doing too openly. Let's wait until after the grand competition to discuss them further.

Early the next morning, as the head of the Alchemist's Guild, Zhuge Qingyang took the Grand Elder Luo Rong and the Second Elder Wu Zheng out early.

The Dan Wang Competition is hosted by the Alchemist Association, with the five major sects providing assistance. The competition's judges are also set up in this way.

Zhuge Qingyang and the two elders served as the main judges, while the sect masters of the five major sects acted as the auxiliary judging panel, responsible for judging the entire competition.

They had just left, and Ye Bufan also arrived at the square where they registered yesterday with Hua Qiqi and Xia Qingying.

Today is different from yesterday, the entire square is enveloped by a gigantic transparent barrier.

The scenery was clear to see, but in order to enter, one could only do so through a gate. Only members of the Five Great Sects and cultivators who had obtained a participation token were allowed entry.

A huge image formation array in mid-air allows anyone in Tian Sheng City to see the competition.

Even with this arrangement, the scene was still a sea of people, crowding around the barrier, waiting to watch these alchemists at work.

Ye Bufan had other intentions, so he arrived earlier than planned. He let Hua Qiqi and Xia Qingying enter first while he waited outside.

As time went on, more and more people arrived, yet the Xuanji Emperor remained absent.

Ye Bufan was a little anxious. His spiritual energy hadn't fully recovered yet, and that old geezer still hadn't shown up

As the time to the competition drew closer, with just a moment left, they finally saw Mu Ji, an ordinary-looking man, walking over from afar.

He strode toward the threshold of the barrier, but suddenly a voice reached his ears.

"Supreme Emperor Xuanji, why are you here only now I've been waiting for you for ages!"Brother Ye.His gaze shifted back to the stage, remaining silent."Huxue, take this!"At this moment, Fan Xiaofeng was still unaware of the impending disaster. He put on an elegant and graceful demeanor,...
