Chapter 1686: The Will to Die

After Zhang Daoxuan finished speaking, he leaped down from the arena. Now that even the thunder seal was destroyed, continuing the fight would only bring him more humiliation.

After stepping down, he had no face to stay any longer and headed straight for outside the mountain gate.

Since even he had left, the people of the Diancang Sect naturally did not dare to remain there and followed him out of the Heavenly Palace.

After they left, the entire hall of the Heavenly Palace was silent. Everyone present looked at the Young man on the stage, their hearts filled with shock.

To be able to force Zhang Tianshi away at such a young age and suppress the Diancang Sect so they couldn't lift their heads, perhaps only Ye Bufan could do it.

Lin Zhentian said, "Alright everyone, let's return to the main hall and discuss the alliance."

So, everyone returned to the main hall and expressed their opinions on the Kunlun Immortal Realm's Seal breaking and its invasion of the Secular World.

Great Master Zhishan said, "Palace Master Lin, as Martial Artists, it is our duty to protect the common people of the world. My Liuyun Temple is willing to be at the Heavenly Palace's disposal."

Song Yuanwu followed, saying, "My Wudang School is willing to contribute a small effort."

He Qingzhi said, "My Tianjian Villa is willing to fight to the death with the Kunlun Immortal Realm to protect the common people of the world."

After these few, other Schools also expressed their willingness to join hands with the Heavenly Palace to fight against the invading enemies from the Kunlun Immortal Realm.

Things progressed very smoothly, and soon, under the call of the Heavenly Palace, the alliance was officially formed.

Finally, Ye Bufan said, "Father, I don't think it's suitable for everyone to stay in the Heavenly Palace. Let's return to the Changsun Family in the Imperial Capital. This way, it will be more convenient to receive information and act more quickly."

He didn't explicitly state some things; his mother and closest relatives were all in the Changsun Family, and it would be more convenient to protect them once everyone returned.

Lin Zhentian also understood his intention, nodded, and said, "Alright, we will now head to the Changsun Family and await further news from the Kunlun Immortal Realm."

He and Ye Bufan led the people from various Schools to the Imperial Capital. Fortunately, the Changsun Family's manor was large enough, and there were enough rooms, so everyone was quickly settled.

Next was the waiting game. Situ Changkong dispatched all his subordinates to search for news of the Kunlun Immortal Realm. Once they invaded, action would immediately begin.

After dinner, Lin Zhentian and Ye Bufan, father and son, came to the back garden and sat on a long bench by the artificial lake.

Lin Zhentian's expression was solemn: "Xiao Fan, you have fought against the people of the Kunlun Immortal Realm. How much chance of victory do you think we have in this battle?"

"That's hard to say. When their First Layer Seal opened, those who came out were Martial Saint level powerhouses, not considered true experts.

When the Second Layer Seal opens, those who come out will be at the Emperor Realm, and their strength will certainly be completely different."

Ye Bufan said indifferently, "No matter how many people the opponent sends or how strong they are, we will ultimately have to fight to the death. After all, we have no retreat."

He was very clear about the significance of this battle; if they failed, the people of Huaxia would suffer.

Ye Bufan was different from those Martial Artists of the sects. Those people were accustomed to being high above, accustomed to treating ordinary people as ants.

But he was different; a few months ago, he was just one of the common people, so he had deep feelings for the Secular World and would never allow the people of the Kunlun Immortal Realm to slaughter them.

"That's what I'm worried about."

Lin Zhentian said, "The Martial Dao in the Secular World has declined, and Spiritual Qi is depleted. Our strength is ultimately no match for the Kunlun Immortal Realm.

When their Second Layer Seal opens this time, there will definitely be Peak Emperor Realm experts. Normally, we would certainly not be their opponents."

Ye Bufan shook his head: "Dad, you don't have to be too pessimistic. You only know the outcome after fighting."

Lin Zhentian turned his head to look at him: "Son, promise me one thing: if things become impossible, you must protect yourself and leave a seed for the Secular Martial Dao World. You must also take care of your mother for me."

Ye Bufan's heart tightened. It was clear that his father had resolved to die.

He smiled and said, "Dad, don't worry, I know what I'm doing. We will definitely defeat the Kunlun Immortal Realm, and no one will be harmed."

"Son, I'm not joking with you. You must promise me." Lin Zhentian said with a solemn expression, "I can fight to the death, but you cannot. Promise me that you will make sure to survive."

"Alright then, I promise you."

Ye Bufan said this, but in his heart, he secretly resolved that no matter what, he could not let his father get hurt.

After a few more words, Lin Zhentian went to see the Sect Leaders, and Ye Bufan returned to his room.

Recalling the conversation just now, his mood suddenly became heavy. The upcoming battle would undoubtedly be extremely dangerous, and he needed to take it seriously.

Recalling Wang Jian's previous conversation, the Kunlun Immortal Realm indeed had Undergoing Tribulation powerhouses. Although those great beings were restricted by the Seal and could not come to the Secular World,

it was foreseeable that those who came out this time would definitely be Peak Emperor Realm, and their numbers would not be small.

With his current ability, he could kill those beyond his level and even deal with Peak Emperor Realm powerhouses, but at most, it would be one or two people. If there were too many, he might not be able to cope.

And looking at the Secular World, the strongest are only Late Stage Emperor Realm; there isn't a single Peak Emperor Realm.

Comparing them this way, their side is clearly at a disadvantage in terms of strength.

Furthermore, although Wang Jian said that due to the Seal's restrictions, the strongest who could come out were Emperor Realm powerhouses,

who could be sure of such a thing? What if powerhouses above the Emperor Realm came out? Their side always needed to have a foolproof plan and not leave their fate in others' hands.

He quickly reviewed all his trump cards in his mind from beginning to end: the Divine Artifact Dragon Fang, but he was currently unable to fully unleash its power.

The Demon Refining Bottle was also a Divine Artifact, but this item was mainly for Dark Cultivators, so its scope was limited.

In addition, there was the Heavenly Thunder Pearl, which had destructive power against Emperor Realm powerhouses, but it was not fatal.

There were also the techniques inherited from the Dragon King Palace: Teleportation, Benlei Palm, Blazing Palm, Eye of Lihuo, and so on.

These Advanced Cultivation Techniques could improve his cultivation and even allow him to kill beyond his realm, but they were still far from enough.

His strongest trump card should be the Divine Soul Blade. Now that he had Breakthrough to the Soul Transformation Stage, his Mental Energy had also increased again, comparable to a Body Integration Stage Cultivator.

All these strengths combined were enough to make any Martial Artist proud, but Ye Bufan knew that relying solely on these was still not enough to contend with the Kunlun Immortal Realm.

Since his Martial Dao cultivation was still somewhat lacking, he had to think of other ways.

He pondered for a moment. He currently had 20 particle guns, and their power was absolutely astonishing.

But at the same time, they had their limitations: he had to use them himself. Without the cooperation of the Divine Soul Blade, they could at most kill Saint-level Martial Artists and posed no threat to the Emperor Realm.

Where could he find more powerful weapons that were also convenient to carry?

Suddenly, his heart stirred. He had raided the 51 Area back then and brought back many extremely powerful high-tech weapons.

However, after returning, he had handed them all over to the subordinates of the Dragon King Palace and had never inquired about them.

Given the 51 Area's technological strength, it must be above that of the Bangbang Country. Even the Jin Family could develop Heaven-Defying things like particle guns, so their weapons certainly wouldn't be bad.

Thinking of this, Ye Bufan disappeared from the room out of thin air and returned to the Dragon King Palace.
