"Oh!"
Lan Yuqing let out a long sigh. At this moment, he regretted it deeply, but what could be done? The incident had already happened, and talking about it would be useless.
And just then, Lan Qier from the side walked over, her face full of pitiful expressions, and plopped down on her knees before Ye Bufan.
"Master Ye, it was the Lan family who was wrong. Please, for old times' sake, let us off this time!"
"What's the relationship?"
Ye Bufan let out a cold smile. "I truly don't know what feelings remain between us? I did save your life, but so what?"

You have paid your consultation fee, and that's the end of our relationship. There will be no further ties or feelings between us.
In fact, Ye Bufan didn't really care about the attitude of the Blue family father and daughter towards him. He hated not because they were targeting him, but because they betrayed Jingbuyun.
To repay kindness with treachery, to deceive a benefactor who saved one's life and take them hostage, this is certainly not the act of a righteous person.
“I…”
Lan Qi'er's pretty face turned completely red, she was embarrassed to the extreme.
This was the very thing she had just said to Jing Buyun, and now it was being thrown back in her face, leaving her with no room for rebuttal.
But now facing life and death, she couldn't care less about her face, and turned her head to look beside her.
This woman is very shrewd; she knows that if Jing Buyun speaks up for her, Ye Bufan will most likely show mercy and at least not take the lives of her children.
"Cloudge, this time it was Qi'er who was confused, this time I was wrong."
"Please, for our childhood together, for the fact that we've grown up as childhood sweethearts, do us a favor and help my family. In our next life, I promise to repay you even if I have to be a cow or a horse."
Jing Bu Yun let out a cold snort: "Now you know you were wrong? Too late!"
Lan Qier wept bitterly, looking pitifully distressed: "Yun Gege, our Lan family was really forced into this before..."
Over there is Yuwen Gong, the city lord. He's a powerful figure in the middle stage of the Immortal Emperor realm. We have no choice but to obey his orders because we're forced to.
As for Sun Man弓, I truly have no feelings for him. I only agreed to his proposal out of a need to protect my family. My heart still belongs to you.
"Even if Yun Ge asks me to die, I'll do it. But please, beg for my father and the Lan family..."
She cried while she spoke, eventually ending up in tears, so much so that it was heartbreaking to look at.
Jing Bu Yun let out a soft sigh, remaining silent. Her heart was also troubled.
He has emotionally checked out of this woman completely.
But no matter what, they grew up together since childhood. They were childhood sweethearts. He was a person who valued loyalty very much. To say there was no affection between them would be a lie.
And he was very clear about the current situation: Ye Bufan was a man of loyalty and righteousness, but he was definitely not a saint, and he would never leave himself vulnerable.
If they had not spoken up for themselves, the Lan family and the Lan Tian Chamber of Commerce would have likely been erased.
Just as I was hesitating whether to plead for mercy, a voice transmission from Jing Liankong reached my ears.
"Cloud, you absolutely cannot be merciful at this time. "
Young Master Ye is our Jing family's benefactor, his bow and that small bottle are both treasures of chaos.

This kind of message my father and I would never say, dead or alive. But if we let the Blue family go, do you think they'll keep quiet? Who knows, they might just turn around and sell us out for a good price.
Young Master Ye just risked his life to save my son and me. This great kindness is one we may never have the chance to repay in a lifetime.
Even if we can't repay the favor, we shouldn't cause trouble for them.
Besides, the Blue family father and daughter weren't trustworthy to begin with. Their behavior just now made it abundantly clear. What else is there to hesitate about?

"I understand, Father!"
Jing Bu Yun nodded repeatedly, as if awakened from a dream.
Even if the Chaos Spiritual Treasure were placed in the Upper Heavenly Domain, it would undoubtedly be something that countless powerful beings would covet. Once news of it spread, it would inevitably bring disaster to Ye Bufan.
Just like Jing Liankong said, even if he couldn't repay his brother's life-saving grace, he shouldn't lose sight of the bigger picture and bring trouble to the other party.
He ignored Lan Qi'er, who was looking pitiful in front of him, and directly addressed Ye Bufan: "Ye brother, I have severed ties with the Lan family. "
"How do you handle not caring about my face, wanting to kill me without a second thought and having nothing to do with me?"
"I understand."
Ye Bufan nodded slightly, his eyes filled with murderous intent.
"Cloud Brother, you can't do this! We grew up together. Cloud Brother, don't just watch me die like this…"
Lan Qier panicked, kneeling and begging for mercy incessantly, yet she completely forgot how she had treated Jing Buyun before.
Ye Bufan had no mercy for this kind of woman. With a wave of his hand, a thick bolt of annihilation divine thunder fell, and then Lan Qier vanished from everyone's sight.
"Daughter..."
Although Lan Yuqing had already guessed the outcome, she was still unable to bear the shock of her daughter's death at that moment.
And just as he was lost in thought, an invisible force instantly immobilized his body. Though it was brief, it was enough time for a sword ray to slash down and cleave him in two.
The one who made the move was Xuanyuan Linglong. Her Immortal Emperor domain had no attributes, it was invisible and intangible, perfectly suited for a sneak attack.
But Lan Yuqing was now trembling in fear, and having completely lost her fighting spirit, she was struck down by a single sword strike. She didn't even have the chance to self-destruct.
The moment the divine essence emerged, it was immediately captured by Ye Bufan's spirit-binding bottle.
Everything was going according to plan, he had just used the Sun-Eater Bow. Though he hadn't fallen directly, he was barely standing, unable to draw it again for a short time.
Since she couldn't do it herself and didn't want to waste a Xiandi's soul, then having Xuanyuan Linglong take action would be best.
In fact, he was always well-prepared. Once the sneak attack failed, the three divine thunderbolts hovering above his head would descend, leaving no chance for the opponent to self-destruct.
It's good that we didn't get to that point, everything is going perfectly.
He killed the Blue family, father and daughter, and everyone around him fell silent.
Before, the three Great Immortal Emperors stood here. Yuwen Gong, Lan Yuqing, and Sun Aozong, all died clean, not a single one left. Where would these shrimp soldiers and crab generals have the courage to resist?
Hundreds of people stood there in utter silence, some so frightened that they trembled all over.
"Young Master Ye, please spare our lives!"
"Master Ye, we are willing to submit to you!"
And then, for no apparent reason, nearly a hundred people all knelt down with a thump.
This is also quite normal, as they all originally had their own masters, either belonging to the Hunting League City or to the two major trading companies.
Now, with Yuwen Gong, Lan Yuming, and Sun Aozong all dead and facing such a powerful opponent, they directly chose to kneel and surrender.
Ye Bufan coldly glanced at the crowd: "If I'm not mistaken, you all came to kill me. If Wen Gong was in the dominant position now, would you show mercy to me?"
These people instantly fell silent. What he said was right. If Ye Bufan was in a weak position now, they would definitely beat him up while he was down, showing off to their master and earning greater credit.
Seeing that their pleas for mercy were in vain, these people instantly scattered and fled, trying to break out of the Heavenly Gang Thunderfire Formation.
