Chapter 1365 Ghost Witch Cult

The three moved quickly, covering the distance in an instant. Soon, Xie Changsi arrived at the entrance of the courtyard.

“Dragon King, this is it.”

Ye Bufan surveyed the courtyard, his Divine Sense instantly covering the entire area. However, he didn't find Lu Banxia's shadow; only Romario was Cultivating in the room.

He stepped into the courtyard and approached the door. Xie Changsi smashed the door into splinters with a single punch, and then the three of them walked in.

“Dragon King, be careful. The incense here is very strange.”

Xie Changsi said, his True Qi circulating to form a True Qi shield around his body. He had been unprepared before; otherwise, as a Saint-Grade expert, he wouldn't have been so easily poisoned.

Ye Bufan, however, was unconcerned. He was now almost immune to all poisons. Although this poison was somewhat unusual, it posed no threat to him.

Seeing intruders, Romario slowly opened his eyes. When he saw Xie Changsi, he couldn't help but be startled.

The other party had been poisoned and struck by his Saber Qi. Even if he hadn't died, he should have been half-dead, yet now he looked full of vigor.

“Old monster, what are you looking at? I’ll split you in half later.”

Xie Changsi was furious about being caught off guard. If Lu Banxia and the others weren't still in the enemy's hands, he would have attacked by now.

Romario chuckled sinisterly, “Damn Huaxia person, you’re quite resilient. This time, let’s see how you escape.”

“Where is Lu Banxia? Hand her over quickly, and I’ll spare your life.”

Ye Bufan’s expression was cold, filled with Killing Intent. He hated nothing more than being threatened with hostages.

“You mean that Huaxia woman? If you want to find her, go ask the King of Hell.”

Romario finished speaking and extended his palm, and the red bone saber reappeared in his hand.

“Go to hell!”

After a loud shout, the bone saber flew from his palm and floated in mid-air. It then instantly grew to over a meter long, slashing towards Ye Bufan with monstrous bloody Qi.

“Using a saber?”

A cold smile played on Ye Bufan’s lips. Using such a Magical Artifact in front of him was like showing off a big saber in front of Guan Yu.

He waved his right hand, and golden Saber Qi bloomed. The Dragon Tooth instantly floated in mid-air, its ten-foot-long Saber Qi looking incredibly sharp.

In comparison, the red bone saber instantly became dim.

“Cut!”

Ye Bufan waved his hand, and the Dragon Tooth transformed into a sky full of Saber Qi, its sharp Saber Qi instantly shredding the red bone saber into countless dust particles.

Alicia watched, dumbfounded. Although the Perran Family had many experts, this was her first time witnessing a Saint-Grade expert's move, and she was even more amazed by the power of the Dragon Tooth.

“Ah!”

Romario instantly paled, letting out a cry of alarm.

He knew that this red ancient saber was his most powerful Magical Artifact, yet it was destroyed in the blink of an eye by the opponent.

“Damn Huaxia person, you destroyed my treasure! I’ll tear you into ten thousand pieces and flay you alive!”

Romario gnashed his teeth in hatred, beginning to chant obscure incantations.

But before he could finish the incantation, Ye Bufan’s figure flashed and appeared before him, the Dragon Tooth already pressed against his neck.

Feeling the monstrous Killing Intent emanating from the Dragon Tooth, Romario trembled in fear and quickly stopped chanting the incantation.

He knew that if he chanted one more incantation, the opponent's blade would likely slice through his throat.

“Huaxia person, who exactly are you?”

A hint of panic appeared in Romario’s eyes. Ye Bufan’s power had exceeded his expectations.

He had clearly reached the Great Wizard King level, yet in front of the opponent, he was like a child, completely powerless, without even a chance to complete his incantation.

“Tell me, where is Lu Banxia?”

Ye Bufan didn't bother with pleasantries and directly used Soul Devouring Art.

His Mental Energy was now comparable to a Void Refining Cultivator, incredibly powerful. Even Romario had no resistance whatsoever. A hint of confusion flashed in his eyes, and he began to speak.

“That woman has been sent to the Ghost Witch Sect's main altar, to be dealt with by the Family Head.”

Hearing “Ghost Witch Sect,” Ye Bufan was slightly startled. He had never heard of this sect before.

“Then who are you? Why did you attack Lu Banxia?”

Romario said, “I am Romario, the Ninth Elder of the Ghost Witch Sect. The Sect Master ordered me to capture that woman. I heard it was at the request of Olivier, the Young Master of the Berwick Family.”

Olivier, it was indeed him. A hint of Killing Intent flashed in Ye Bufan's eyes.

“Who is Joanna? What is her relationship with your Ghost Witch Sect?”

“The Ghost Witch Sect is divided into Outer Sect and Inner Sect. She is an Outer Sect Disciple of our Ghost Witch Sect. She received my order to trick Lu Banxia here.”

Ye Bufan frowned. He hadn't expected people from the Ghost Witch Sect to have infiltrated his company. It seemed he would have to thoroughly clean up and reorganize things in the future.

He didn't want to ask other questions. The most urgent matter was to save people. He asked again, “Tell me, where is the main altar of the Ghost Witch Sect?”

“At the foot of the third peak of Demon Mountain…”

After clarifying the location, Ye Bufan flicked his wrist, and the Dragon Tooth directly severed Romario’s head.

“Ah…”

Seeing the bloody scene before her, Alicia couldn't help but let out a cry of alarm.

“Let’s go.”

The three left the courtyard. Ye Bufan casually threw out a fireball, and the place instantly erupted in a raging inferno.

Alicia asked, “Where are we going?”

“I'm going to save someone,” Ye Bufan said. “Why don't I have Xie Changsi send you back?”

He now regretted bringing this woman with him. She wasn't helpful and was instead a burden.

Alicia bit her lip and stubbornly said, “I’m not leaving. I want to go with you.”

“I’m going to the Ghost Witch Sect’s main altar. It’s very dangerous there.”

“I’m not afraid.” Alicia reached out and took Ye Bufan’s arm. “I know you’ll protect me.”

“Alright then.”

Seeing her insistence, Ye Bufan could only take her with him onto the Flying Sword, heading towards Demon Mountain. Xie Changsi followed closely behind.

Demon Mountain was further from Apple City, about 200 kilometers away.

Ye Bufan asked while flying on his sword, “Didn’t you say the Berwick Family is backed by the Black Wizard Alliance? How did the Ghost Witch Sect get involved? What’s their relationship?”

“See? Bringing me along is useful, isn’t it?”

Alicia smiled sweetly, showing off her presence, then said, “The Black Wizard Alliance, as the name suggests, is an Alliance composed of three parts.

One is the Ghost Witch Sect, one is the Blood Witch Sect, and one is the Black Wizard Sect. These three sects all Cultivate Black Wizardry, and they have countless Disciples.

The Ghost Witch Sect is a part of the Black Wizard Alliance and has a close relationship with the Berwick Family, so it’s not surprising that Olivier asked them for help.”

“Since Olivier was behind it, why didn't they send Lu Banxia to Apple City after capturing her, but instead sent her to the Ghost Witch Sect’s main altar?”

Ye Bufan’s words were both like asking Alicia for her opinion and speaking to himself; this was indeed a question.

Alicia thought for a moment, “I think there are two possibilities. The first possibility is that capturing Lu Banxia wasn’t Olivier’s goal; the goal was to lure you to the Ghost Witch Sect’s main altar and then use their power to kill you.”

Ye Bufan nodded and asked again, “What’s the second possibility?”

Alicia said, “That is, the Ghost Witch Sect has another purpose for capturing Lu Banxia, unrelated to you and Olivier.”
