"Let's go!"
Jin San valued words like gold, and uttered only two: "Ye Bufan understood his meaning.
"Senior Brother, please be more careful."
After saying that, he turned and ran forward again.
About a quarter of an hour later, Ye Bufan was getting farther and farther away from the battlefield. All around him was silent, eerily so.
He let out another long sigh. Now that the two top powerhouses he had provoked had appeared, one being the Poisonous Young Master and the other the Blood Hand Emperor, there shouldn't be anyone else coming.
And just as he relaxed, another figure appeared before him, a middle-aged man in fine clothes.
This person's aura is powerful, and the might they exude surpasses that of the previous Poisonous Young Master and Blood Hand Emperor by a great deal.
Ye Bufan was a little dumbfounded, not knowing who this person was. He could be sure he had never met him before.
Since the person has already come and blocked the way, one must ultimately face it.
"May I ask, senior, if you have something to attend to?"
The middle-aged man in fine clothes smiled faintly: "There's something I need to ask you. Let me introduce myself, my name is Luo Jiuhé, the lord of Luòyè City."
Ye Bufan frowned slightly, his mind racing.
"It seems it's the City Lord. I wonder what brings you to me? Could it be about the auction?"
According to the guards, the Lord of Falling Leaf City is a powerful warrior at the eighth rank of the Yuan Emperor. What would someone like that want with me? Could it be he's trying to take advantage of me?
Was it for the treasures he had personally forged, or was it to seize the chaotic holy crystal from his grasp?
Even if one acts like a nouveau riche, as the lord of a city, one should not be attached to one's wealth.
Besides these, he couldn't think of any other reason why the other party would seek him out. Although he possessed many treasures, none had been revealed.
"Haha, little one, do you think old man is still thinking about the things you auctioned off, or perhaps that bit of Chaos Holy Crystal in your hands?"
Luò Jiǔhè seemed to have seen through his thoughts and smiled, "Rest assured, old man runs a market, he talks about credit, absolutely won't cheat."
Besides, your stuff isn't even worth looking at, let alone fighting over.
<<>>
"What brings you here, senior?"
Luò Jiǔhè smiled and said, "The one who stayed at the inn in Luòyè City before was your clone, wasn't it?"
"<"This…"">"

He was a little surprised, hesitated for a moment, not expecting the other party to pay so much attention to him.
Luo Jiuhua didn't wait for his reply and said to himself, "As a small Yuanzun, you dare to provoke Du Gongzi and Tu Hong within the marketplace. This has piqued my interest."
I've been paying more attention to you because I don't know where your confidence comes from.
I thought you were hiding in the inn, too afraid to come out, but then you suddenly disappeared. Only then did I realize it was just a clone.
I have to say, your avatar truly astounds me. Its aura is indistinguishable from my own. I've never encountered such a masterful technique of creating an avatar before.
Ye Bufan swallowed hard: "Trivial tricks, not worth mentioning."
Luo Jiuhua said again, "Also, it piques my curiosity how your true form escaped from Luoye City without me noticing. You even managed to deceive both the Poison Master and Tu Hong."
The entire Fallen Leaf City is under my surveillance. There are no fluctuations in the formation, which means you didn't arrive using a teleportation array.
After much deliberation, there's only one possibility: you possess a formidable and hidden cultivation technique that allows you to conceal your aura, making yourself undetectable. Even though my cultivation surpasses yours by so much, I am unable to achieve the same.

Upon hearing this, Ye Bufan's forehead was already beaded with cold sweat. He had to admit, this old man was extremely cunning, his guesses not off by a single hair.
"It seems I was right."
Luò Jiǔhè said, "I'm not here for anything else but to take a look at your techniques for splitting one's self and for concealing one's presence."
Of course, I'm not just looking at you for nothing. When the time comes, I can offer a million Chaos Holy Crystals as compensation.
Although the old man was all smiles, Ye Bufan didn't believe a word he said.
Let alone the fact that the Unity of Three Purities and the Chaotic Scripture must absolutely not be passed on, even if I gave it to him, I'm afraid the moment it came out, my life would be forfeit.
If I don't take it, the gap in strength is so great that I'm probably not even able to walk away.
Looking back, there was no movement in the direction they came from. Apparently, Jin Sanyuan and Ning Cailiang hadn't finished their fight yet.
"Little one, it seems you're not very willing. In that case, let's go back and discuss this slowly."
Luò Jiǔhè seemed afraid that things would change overnight, so he reached out and grabbed him, intending to take him back to his territory for a thorough interrogation.
According to his thoughts, as long as he took away this young man, those two peerless martial arts would be his.
。
Ye Bufan faced the Chaos Emperor's Eighth Grade for the first time. Under the opponent's immense pressure, it was impossible to even think about escaping, let alone moving, and even more so entering the Dragon King's Palace.
Strength, everything is strength. It seems like my own strength is still too low!
Distressed in my heart, yet helpless, I could only passively accept my fate.
But just then, his body suddenly became light, and he dodged the grab.
Luo Jiuhe was stunned, apparently not expecting his surefire attack to miss.
Turning his head, he saw that Ye Bufan had already reached a hundred zhang away. In front of him stood an old man with white hair and a hunched back, who was none other than Kusuzhi, the Sect Master of Yunhai Sect.
"Old Man, it's you after all!"
Having spent so many years in the first layer of the Chaotic Holy Realm, Luo Jiuhe naturally recognized Kǔ Xūzi, but he didn't take the other party seriously.
He usually looked miserable and his cultivation was only at the sixth rank of the Chaos Emperor realm. Such a person wasn't worthy of him giving him a second glance.
As for the Yunhai Sect, needless to say, it had fallen to its lowest point, with only three people left in the entire sect. It could hardly be considered a sect anymore.
"Get out of here! Don't meddle in this, or the City Lord won't be so merciful."
Ku Suzi shook her head: "Isn't it good to live a comfortable life in Luoye City honestly? You shouldn't have disturbed my disciples, and you shouldn't be too greedy!"
"So it's your disciple. But so what? This old man has his eyes on him, hand him over quickly or I'll destroy your Yunhai Sect!"
Luò Jiǔhè's words were extremely domineering. In his view, he also had the capital to be domineering, after all, as a Chaos Emperor at the eighth rank, how could he care about a fallen sect.
"Do not be too arrogant as a human, or you will die very soon. Since you are looking for death yourself, then this old man will give you a ride."
After Ku Suzi finished speaking, she gently slapped over with a light palm.
Originally, Luo Jiuhua still had a smug look on his face, not taking the other party seriously at all. However, when he felt the power of this palm, his expression changed instantly.
"The Nine Ranks of the Emperor, how is this possible!"
With a cry of alarm, he hastily met it with a full-powered palm strike.
Their two palms met, and with a sickening crack, his arm exploded into a cloud of blood mist. He flew backwards, mangled.
At this moment, Luò Jiǔhè's eyes widened in terror. He never expected the seemingly unremarkable Kǔxūzi to be a wolf in sheep's clothing, possessing such formidable strength.
