Chapter 2103 No Way Out

“Can the hongyuan fruit really cure my sister?”

Liu Yijian said excitedly, “I also heard that the hongyuan fruit can treat mental damage. My purpose for coming to the New Talent Ranking Tournament this time is to get that hongyuan fruit to cure my sister.”

Ye Bufan said, “The hongyuan fruit does have that effect, but if used directly, the effect will not be good.

At most, it will have the same effect as the Medicinal Pill I just gave you, which can restore consciousness but cannot completely repair the damaged Sea of Consciousness. Only by successfully refining the Heaven Mending Pill can your sister’s injuries be completely healed.

My purpose for participating in this competition is also to obtain the hongyuan fruit to refine the Heaven Mending Pill.”

Liu Yijian asked in confusion, “Dr. Ye, do you mean you will refine it yourself? Are you also an Alchemist?”

Ye Bufan nodded, “That’s right, I am a doctor, and I also know a little about Alchemy.”

“Dr. Ye, you’re too amazing, aren’t you?”

Liu Yijian was full of surprise. He initially thought Ye Bufan was going to find someone to refine the Medicinal Pill, but he didn't expect him to be an Alchemist himself.

It's no wonder he reacted this way. Normally, at this age, having such Heaven-Defying Medical skill is already remarkable, not to mention being an extremely rare Alchemist.

“That’s nothing. The most urgent task is for us to find a way to get the hongyuan fruit.”

For Ye Bufan, Alchemy was a very simple matter; what was important was to win first place in the competition.

Liu Yijian swore, “Dr. Ye, don’t worry, I will get the hongyuan fruit even if it costs me my life.”

Ye Bufan nodded. It would be a success no matter which of them obtained the hongyuan fruit.

Things were almost done here. Ye Bufan bid farewell to the siblings and prepared to leave with Xiaoqing.

“Dr. Ye, I’ll see you off.”

Liu Yijian stepped out, “That Old thing Zheng Wei is extremely cunning; you must be careful.”

His purpose in coming out was to protect Ye Bufan. Firstly, it was to repay a favor, and secondly, if something happened to the other party, his sister’s condition would no longer have any hope.

Ye Bufan waved his hand, “No need, I know what I’m doing.”

With Xiaoqing, a super expert, by his side, why would he need Liu Yijian’s protection?

Liu Yijian said anxiously, “Dr. Ye, you really can’t be careless. Although this is the Great Xing Imperial City, who knows what that Old thing will do…”

“Don’t worry.

I can handle it.”

Ye Bufan refused again, then walked out of the courtyard gate with Xiaoqing.

It was already night. Although this was the Great Xing Imperial City, it was far from as lively as Earth at night.

Occasionally, a few pedestrians could be seen, but it was still deserted.

In the Tianluo State Lingxiao Academy branch, the three members of the Zheng family gathered in a room, each with a terribly gloomy expression.

Zheng Yiheng said fiercely, “Second Uncle, what should we do? We can’t just let this go, otherwise, where will the Zheng family’s face be placed in the future?”

“Of course, we can’t just let it go. Ye Bufan must die!”

Zheng Wei’s face showed a ferocious expression; he had no retreat now.

Now, not only did the Tianfeng Empire branch establish its own faction, but several other branches, under his arrangements, also suffered heavy casualties. Their elite Disciples all had their limbs broken, losing the ability to continue participating in the competition.

In other words, as soon as the first team battle ended, their journey in this New Talent Ranking Tournament was completely over. This was a huge blow to the entire Lingxiao Academy’s prestige.

Under these circumstances, if Ye Bufan achieved good results in the New Talent Ranking Tournament again and directly entered the top nine.

Then he would inevitably suffer punishment from above, and at that time, he might not be able to hold his position as Grand Elder. It was for this reason that he had a murderous intent.

Zheng Long said, “That’s right, our Zheng family can’t swallow this. We’ll make a move immediately after the competition ends!”

“Can’t wait any longer,” Zheng Wei said. “That Young man must die tonight. He absolutely cannot be allowed to participate in tomorrow’s competition.”

He now felt that Ye Bufan was truly unfathomable. The first day’s competition had already ended, and he still hadn’t seen the other party make a move.

If he let the other party develop, who knows what kind of results he might achieve in the end.

He felt that he had completely lost control when facing this Young man, and an unprecedented panic rose in his heart.

“What, make a move today?”

Although Zheng Yiheng wished Ye Bufan would die immediately, he still said in surprise, “But this is the Great Xing Imperial City, and the other party is in the post station, which is heavily guarded. It might not be easy for us to make a move.

Once discovered by the Custodian Hall, the consequences will be even more severe.”

“Don’t worry, I have my own arrangements.”

Zheng Wei said, “The Shuangxiong of Mangshan are old acquaintances of mine. The two brothers are currently searching for a Spirit Medicine in the Great Xing Imperial City.

This

medicine is extremely hard to find. They have been searching for many days without success, but I happen to have such a plant.

Just now, I sent them a message: I will offer the Spirit Medicine as a reward, and they will help me kill Ye Bufan.”

Zheng Long asked, “They agreed?”

Zheng Wei nodded, “That kind of medicinal material is extremely expensive and particularly difficult to find, so they naturally wouldn’t refuse. They have already started to make their move.”

“This…”

Zheng Yiheng hesitated, “Are these two people reliable? Will they cause any trouble for our Zheng family?”

“Definitely not!”

Zheng Wei said with full confidence, “The Shuangxiong of Mangshan are both at the Body Integration Late Stage cultivation, and they are skilled in a combined attack technique. When the two brothers attack together, they can even kill a Combined Body Realm Peak.

That Ye is only in his early twenties. Even if he conceals his cultivation, it won’t be that high. He absolutely cannot be a match for these two brothers.

Moreover, I have already instructed the Shuangxiong of Mangshan that once they succeed, they will immediately flee the Great Xing Imperial City, and at that time, I will send someone to deliver the Spirit Medicine to them outside the city.”

Zheng Long said, “If they don’t get the Spirit Medicine in hand, will they believe it?”

“Do they have any other choice now?” Zheng Wei sneered, “I am the Grand Elder of Lingxiao Academy, so there’s no reason for me to lie to them.

Moreover, killing a Ye is just a small effort for them. Even if they are deceived, there won’t be much loss. Under these circumstances, they will definitely accept my terms.”

Zheng Yiheng clenched his fists, gritting his teeth, “Excellent! This time, let’s see how that Ye can still be arrogant!”

Ye Bufan took out two candied hawthorn skewers from his Storage Ring, and the two walked along, leisurely eating them.

Xiaoqing ate and praised, “Ye Dage, where did you get these things? They’re really delicious.”

Ye Bufan suddenly stopped, looked at the empty street, and an uneasy feeling rose in his heart.

“Why do I feel something is not quite right?”

Xiaoqing pouted, “What are you afraid of? If anyone dares to come, I’ll just twist his head off and kick it like a ball…”

“There are too many Void Refining Realm experts here. Listen to my command, don’t make a move easily.”

Ye Bufan was afraid that Xiaoqing would expose her Yao Beast identity and cause greater trouble.

But as soon as he finished speaking, a dazzling sword light cut through the night sky and directly stabbed towards him.
