Chapter 1775: There are so many troubles

Finally, after expelling the last trace of cold, Ye Bufan let out a long breath. His entire body was drenched in sweat, and the True Qi in his Dantian was almost depleted.

This treatment took a huge toll on him. He couldn't stop halfway when clearing a Meridian, or all his efforts would be in vain.

The woman sat on the bed, a hint of joy blossoming in her eyes beneath her veil.

As the one receiving the treatment, she felt the effects most keenly. Since her injury, her arm had felt like it was trapped in an ice cellar every day, and countless famous doctors had been unable to cure it. Now, she finally felt a touch of warmth.

"Little Divine Doctor, thank you!"

Compared to before, the woman's voice carried a hint of gratitude.

"That's all for today. We'll continue the treatment tomorrow."

After speaking, Ye Bufan withdrew all the silver needles and stood up from the bed.

As soon as he stood up, a huge wave of weakness washed over him, and his body swayed involuntarily.

This treatment had truly drained him, almost to the point of exhaustion.

Just then, a black shadow suddenly appeared behind him. A cold glint flashed in its hand, and a sharp short blade stabbed directly towards his neck.

Everything happened too suddenly. Everyone's attention was on the woman, wanting to see the effects of the treatment, and no one expected an assassin to arrive at that moment.

As for Ye Bufan, due to the immense exhaustion, his Divine Sense had greatly diminished, and he only felt the danger at the last moment.

He wanted to dodge, but his entire body was weak and powerless. He was willing but unable, and there was no time to use his particle gun.

A wave of despair rose in his heart. He hadn't returned to Earth yet, hadn't seen his family. Was he going to die here?

Just then, a burst of energy fluctuation suddenly appeared beside him, and a black shadow materialized out of thin air in the room. Then, a sharp Sword Intent directly targeted the Black-Clothed Man.

The assassin's attention was focused on Ye Bufan, and seeing that he was about to succeed, he inevitably let down his guard.

Suddenly attacked at this moment, it was too late to react. In the end, he could only grit his teeth and swing the short blade in his hand with all his might.

He hoped to achieve a mutual destruction, killing his target before he died.

However, his speed was far inferior to that long sword. Before the dagger could even touch Ye Bufan,

his head flew high into the air.

As a gush of hot blood splattered on the spot, his arm fell limply, and the short blade clanged to the ground.

Ye Bufan let out a long sigh of relief. At that moment, the blade had almost touched his skin. If it had advanced another inch, he would have lost his life on the spot.

Fortunately, he escaped danger and finally avoided a catastrophe. He looked back and saw a black shadow had appeared beside the woman at some unknown point.

This person was silent, dressed in a black robe, with a hood covering his face, yet his entire being exuded an extremely powerful pressure, like a ghost that had walked out of the night.

It was clear that the Black-Clothed Man was guarding the woman, but this was not surprising. A woman of such noble status would undoubtedly have a master guarding her.

The woman on the bed asked, "Divine Doctor Ye, how are you? Are you alright?"

At this moment, the people of the City Lord's Mansion also came to their senses. Zhai Tianfang immediately arranged for people to thoroughly search the entire City Lord's Mansion to see if there were any hidden assassins.

Zhai Lingxiu, on the other hand, drew her steel blade and stood guard beside Ye Bufan, while also asking with concern, "Dr. Ye, how are you? Are you injured?"

"I'm fine!"

Ye Bufan nodded at her, then looked at the woman on the bed, "Thank you for your help!"

"It's a small matter, and besides, saving Dr. Ye also saved myself!"

The woman's reply was very direct, without any pretense. Her current injuries relied entirely on the Young man in front of her, so she naturally wouldn't let anything happen to him.

Soon, the City Lord's Mansion was re-checked, and no more traces of assassins were found.

Zhai Tianfang said, "Dr. Ye, why don't you stay in the City Lord's Mansion for the next few days? I will do my best to ensure your safety."

"No need, I just need to rest a bit."

Ye Bufan refused his kindness. Since someone wanted to attack him, he couldn't just hide here and passively take a beating. He also had to find a way to counterattack.

Moreover, with the opponent's methods, the City Lord's Mansion was not absolutely safe. It was possible that assassins might sneak in again at any time.

In this situation, the top priority was to restore his strength as much as possible. Only by being strong himself would he have protection.

Soon, Zhai Tianfang arranged a quiet room for him to recover his depleted cultivation. Zhai Lingxiu personally led a team of guards to stand guard at the door to protect him.

Ye Bufan swallowed several Medicinal Pills one after another, then sat cross-legged. About half

(This chapter is not finished, please turn the page)

an hour later, his depleted True Qi had fully recovered.

He let out a long breath of turbid Qi, feeling the surging power within his body, and his heart felt much more at ease.

"Why did I encounter an assassin again? Who sent this guy?"

To deal with an enemy, he first needed to figure out who they were.

He pondered his opponents from beginning to end. The core members of the Shang Family had already been wiped out, and since people from the Kyoto Li Family had arrived here, the assassin should have no connection with them.

The same applied to the He Family. Since they had already sent a request for help to the North Sky Sword Sect, they wouldn't use the Assassin's Guild route.

This left the Fang family as the biggest suspect. The other party dared not directly attack him, so they used an assassin to strike at him, which was entirely reasonable.

But speculation was just speculation; it couldn't be definitively concluded yet.

Thinking of this, he took out a sound-transmitting jade talisman and sent a message to Luo Yudie, wanting to see if the Jubao Pavilion's intelligence network had any relevant information.

Not long after, Luo Yudie's voice echoed in his mind.

"The Assassin's Guild indeed has a mission to assassinate you, with a bounty of 10 million gold coins. And a few hours ago, Zhao Si, who is with Fang Furong, appeared there."

With this information, Ye Bufan could confirm that the assassin came from the Fang family.

Just as he was contemplating how to resolve the trouble with the Fang family, another message came through.

"An hour ago, people from the Kyoto Li Family have already arrived in Tianlang City and are currently staying at the Fulaike Inn.

They are currently gathering information about you, and I believe it won't be long before they make a move.

Little brother, you really have a lot of trouble. Be careful, and if it doesn't work out, hide in my Jubao Pavilion. Your big sister will protect your safety."

Ye Bufan frowned. He really had a lot of trouble. The Fang family here hadn't been dealt with yet, and now powerful cultivators from the Kyoto Li Family had arrived.

According to the information he had previously received from Luo Yudie, the Kyoto Li Family had sent two Soul Transformation Stage cultivators this time, along with five Nascent Soul Stage cultivators.

Facing such powerful strength, he had to strike first, otherwise, it would be very troublesome.

But at the same time, the Fang family also had to be dealt with, otherwise, having assassins constantly targeting him would be a huge headache.

After some consideration, he made a decision in his heart and then stepped out of the room.
