Chapter 2219 Target Dragon Absorbing Stone

"What? How is this possible?"

Guan Youcai was slapped, but he was too shocked to even cover his face. He said with a horrified expression, "Master, this is impossible!

I've followed Young Master for so many years, how could I mistake him? That was definitely Young Master!"

"What Young Master, are you out of your mind?"

Guan Chengfang asked, "Do you think Young Master could say those mocking words to Laiyang Princess?

Do you think Young Master has the guts to provoke all three great families at once?

Do you think you have the strength to instantly subdue so many guards from the Prince's Residence?"

"This… this… this really doesn't seem right!"

Guan Youcai thought back, and it was indeed true.

The words Ye Bufan said at the auction were so sharp and venomous that not only could Young Master not have said them, but he himself, having lived so many years, had never heard such things.

Moreover, from his many years of experience, these actions were definitely not Guan Qirui's style; the difference was too great.

He swallowed hard, trying to calm his shocked mind.

"Master, do you mean someone impersonated Young Master?"

"If I'm not mistaken, that must be it."

Guan Chengfang's expression was grim. "Did you notice just now that when Young Master was called over, he was completely unaware? That expression couldn't have been faked."

"This…"

Cold sweat instantly broke out on Guan Youcai's forehead. This matter was terrifying to think about; the more he thought, the more frightening it became.

Someone was able to silently replace Guan Qirui right in front of him, and then bring a colossal disaster upon the Guan Family.

What a profound state of mind, what terrifying strength that must be.

"Master, then who do you think did this?"

"Looking at it now, it's very likely that little doctor from the Gu Yi Men Clinic."

Guan Chengfang immediately gave the answer, his expression terribly grim.

He had used Prince Kaoshan's Residence to cheat the Gu Yi Men Clinic, and he didn't expect the other party to return the favor so quickly, and with even more ruthless methods, practically destroying the Guan Family's Foundation.

He just couldn't understand how the other party did it, how they could silently impersonate his son without revealing any flaws.

"Master, what should we do then? We need to find a way to rescue Young Master, or should we go and explain it clearly to Laiyang King?"

"Explain what? If you were Laiyang King, would you believe that?"

Guan Chengfang was incredibly vexed. Ye Bufan's move was brilliant precisely because even if he saw through it, he had no solution.

If he spoke out, no one would believe him. It was too outrageous, everyone would think he was trying to make excuses for his son.

"Master, what should we do then? We can't just stand by and watch…"

Before Guan Youcai could finish speaking, Guan Chengfang impatiently waved his hand.

"Alright, you go back. Keep your mouth shut about today's events. Don't tell anyone."

How could he not want to rescue his son quickly? But the current situation was what it was; he simply couldn't think of any solution.

"Master, I'll take my leave then."

Guan Youcai turned and exited, closing the door behind him. Guan Chengfang paced anxiously alone in the room.

At Jubao Pavilion, the middle-aged manager sat in his seat, and upon hearing his subordinate's report, he too looked horrified.

He truly hadn't expected this Young Master of the Guan Family to be so vicious; not only did he break both legs of the Minister of War's son, but he also tied Laiyang Princess to a tree.

"It seems the Guan Family is in big trouble!"

He murmured softly, picked up the teacup in front of him, and was about to take a sip when a dark figure suddenly appeared before him.

"This… Sect Leader Zhu Rong! Why have you come?"

The person who arrived was an old man in a black robe, none other than Zhu Rong Lingtian, the Sect Leader of Fentian Gate.

Fentian Gate was the Great Shun Empire's largest Sect, with extremely powerful strength, but it had always remained hidden from the world, not interfering in worldly affairs.

There were rumors in the Jianghu that if a fourth eight-star Sect were to appear in Tianluo State, it would undoubtedly be Fentian Gate.

There were also rumors that Fentian Gate's current strength was already no less than the other three eight-star Sects; it was just that they were usually too low-key.

In fact, Fentian Gate was indeed very low-key, rarely appearing before the public.

But even the most low-key Sect needed Cultivation resources, so their relationship with Jubao Pavilion was quite good.

They often came here to participate in auctions and purchase treasures they needed.

However, the middle-aged manager was a bit puzzled; generally, this Sect Leader would never come here. Why the sudden visit today?

Zhu Rong Lingtian reached out and pulled out a Supreme jade token, displaying the image of the dragon absorption stone.

"Where is this item of yours? Bring it for me to see!"

The middle-aged manager said, "Sect Leader Zhu Rong, you mean that flame stone? It was just sold at the auction."

"What, sold?"

Zhu Rong Lingtian's expression changed. He had accidentally discovered this stone. Although it was labeled as a flame stone, he saw something different.

This was definitely not an ordinary flame stone; it was more like the legendary dragon absorption stone.

Fentian Gate Cultivated fire-attribute Cultivation Technique, and the fire Qi contained within the flame stone was of great help to them.

If they could further absorb the trace of Dragon Qi contained within, they would advance even further, possibly even Breaking through to the Great Ascension Stage.

It was precisely for this reason that he personally rushed to the Imperial City, but he was ultimately a step too late, missing out on the dragon absorption stone.

However, such a treasure was rare in a thousand years, and Zhu Rong Lingtian naturally wouldn't let it go easily.

"Tell me, who was that flame stone sold to?"

"It was sold to Young Master Guan Qirui of the Guan Family."

The middle-aged manager said, "Sect Leader Zhu Rong, if you need flame stones, we can keep an eye out for you. You'll have some in no time."

"What do you know? That's a once-in-a-millennium dragon absorption stone, and you've all ruined it."

Zhu Rong Lingtian cursed angrily, then his figure instantly vanished from the room.

"What, dragon absorption stone?"

The middle-aged manager was instantly dumbfounded. Although he had never seen a dragon absorption stone, he had heard of it.

If that flame stone was truly a dragon absorption stone, then their Jubao Pavilion had suffered a huge loss, selling a treasure for a pittance.

Just as he was filled with remorse, two figures suddenly appeared before him.

These two people, one in a black robe and one in a red robe, exuded powerful auras. They were indeed Dongxu Stage experts.

The two were blood brothers, one named Gongsun Ming and the other Gongsun Liang, known in the Jianghu as the Yin Yang Two Immortals.

"Why have you two suddenly come?"

The middle-aged manager was startled to see the two. He hadn't expected so many Void Tempering experts to arrive today.

Gongsun Ming said, "Stop wasting time. Tell me, where is your flame stone?"

"Uh…"

The middle-aged manager hadn't expected these two to also be after the dragon absorption stone. It seemed what Zhu Rong Lingtian had said earlier was true; they had indeed misjudged, foolishly missing out on such a precious treasure.

To be valued by so many Dongxu Stage experts, how much money would it have made if it had truly been put up for auction?

But now that the item had been sold, he was helpless and could only say with a helpless expression, "I'm sorry, that flame stone has already been bought by Young Master Guan Qirui of the Guan Family."

"Foolish!"

The Yin Yang Two Immortals snorted coldly, then also vanished from the room.

After they left, three or four more waves of super experts arrived, all targeting the dragon absorption stone.

It seemed Ye Bufan's earlier prediction was correct; once this item was spread, it would immediately stir up a bloody storm and towering waves in the Jianghu.

The middle-aged manager was furious. He immediately called for Jubao Pavilion's appraiser, first giving him a severe scolding, then withholding all his salary and directly kicking him out.
