Chapter 2261: Deterring the Dashun Empire

When they saw the collapsed city wall, everyone present was shocked. How much power and how profound a cultivation was needed to directly destroy a city gate?

Under the protection of the guards, Dugu Yi came forward and looked up. When he saw Ye Bufan, he was immediately startled.

“Why is it you again? Where is Old Ancestor? Where is Old Ancestor?”

What he cared about most now was Dugu Xiu, after all, this Old Ancestor was too important to the Great Shun Empire.

“Here!”

Ye Bufan shook his hand, and a black shadow flew over, falling with a thud in front of Dugu Yi. It was precisely Old Ancestor Dugu Xiu, whose neck had been twisted.

“This…”

Everyone present changed their expressions when they saw this scene. One must know that before this, Dugu Xiu was a god-like existence in the entire Empire, but now he had died at the hands of this Young man.

Dugu Yi’s expression changed even more drastically: “You… you… you actually killed Old Ancestor!”

He was both shocked and enraged, wishing he could tear the other party into ten thousand pieces, but looking at the collapsed city wall beside him, he ultimately held back.

Such a cultivation was something even Dugu Xiu could not achieve in his lifetime, which showed how powerful the other party was.

“What? Shouldn’t he be killed?”

Ye Bufan said, “You, the Imperial family of the Great Shun Empire, can do whatever you want among yourselves. I don’t care who tries to possess whom, but anyone who dares to snatch my woman will only find death!”

Everyone present was silent. In this Cultivation World, whoever had the bigger fist was the absolute truth.

Normally, for the Imperial family, having a woman casually snatched was considered a blessing. But now that her man had sufficient strength, they dared not even utter a sound.

Dugu Yi took a deep breath, stabilizing his mind: “Didn’t you already take that woman back? Why do you still want to exterminate us?”

“Taken back? Do you really take me for a fool? Do you think you can fool me with a random fake?”

When Ye Bufan finished speaking, there was an uproar among the crowd. No one had expected that the Royal Consort was actually a fake.

Dugu Yi’s expression, however, did not change much, clearly indicating that he was well aware of all this.

“Since you’ve already killed Old Ancestor, what else do you want?”

As the Emperor of a nation, he felt such a strong sense of powerlessness for the first time.

Even though the other person was standing right in front of him, he had no way to deal with him.

The other party could easily kill even the Old Ancestor, so even if he gathered all the strong cultivators of the entire Empire, they would not be the other party’s match.

The others were also like this. Although they were angry and unwilling, they lowered their heads and dared not make any move. This was the deterrence of Xiaoqing’s previous punch.

Ye Bufan did not speak, but directly stepped towards Dugu Yi.

“You… you… what are you going to do?”

Dugu Yi was instantly incredibly nervous. Was the other party going to kill him too?

The imperial guards beside him were about to step forward to block, when a powerful Aura suddenly erupted from Xiaoqing.

Without even making a move, just by the power of her pressure, she swept these people away like fallen leaves.

“Protect Your Majesty!”

A strong cultivator of the Dongxu Realm roared and pounced through the air.

Ye Bufan didn’t even look at him. Xiaoqing, who was following behind, casually threw a punch. The strong cultivator was about to resist when he was torn apart by the fierce punch, and scattered flesh splattered all over the ground.

“Uh…”

At this, everyone present was completely intimidated, their faces filled with terror, trembling.

They hadn’t seen the city wall collapse just now, but with a single move, he crushed a strong cultivator of the Void Tempering Stage to death. How strong was his cultivation?

In this situation, if they went up, it would only be suicide, there would be no other possibility.

Ye Bufan continued forward, and no one dared to stand out and block him anymore.

At this, Dugu Yi completely panicked. As the Emperor of a nation, he had always held the power of life and death over others, and this was the first time he had encountered such a helpless situation.

“You… you… what exactly do you want?”

He looked at the Young man in front of him in terror, not knowing how the other party would deal with him.

Ye Bufan came before him, reached out and pinched his chin, and put a black Medicinal Pill into his mouth.

The Medicinal Pill melted upon entering his mouth and quickly disappeared.

Dugu Yi asked in a panic, “What did you give me to eat?”

“Poison!”

Ye Bufan answered very straightforwardly, “This is a poison I refined. It will act up once a month, and after one year, it will kill you.”

“Uh…”

Dugu Yi was dumbfounded. What was he trying to do? If he wanted to kill him, he could just do it directly. Why make it so troublesome?

Ye Bufan continued, “I’ll give you one year to find Situ Dianmo and send her to Shui Mu University in the Tianfeng Empire.

Even if you can’t find her, any news of her will do.

If you can’t find anything at all, then after a year, prepare to collect your own corpse.

Of course, you can also find others to detoxify you. If they can solve it, then I lose.”

Situ Dianmo disappeared from the Great Shun Empire, but now there was no useful clue at all, and he couldn’t stay here forever.

Moreover, relying on one person to search would certainly not be as effective as the power of an Empire. It was precisely for this reason that he had returned and thought of such a method.

“This…”

Dugu Yi was filled with bitterness. This matter was definitely not easy to handle. He had searched for a long time before but had not found Situ Dianmo’s whereabouts, so how could it be so easy for him to find her now?

But now there was no room for negotiation at all. After Ye Bufan finished speaking, he didn’t even look at him, and directly turned and left with Xiaoqing.

Dugu Yi was also an accomplice in harming Situ Dianmo, and Ye Bufan had no pity for such a person.

Although Dugu Xiu outwardly doted on Dugu Yuan the most, he actually only raised her as a Cauldron. What he valued most was this Grandson, Dugu Yi.

He had been involved in everything that had happened before. If it weren’t for him still being somewhat useful, Ye Bufan would have cut off his head with a single sword.

Only when the two figures disappeared into the sky did everyone present let out a long sigh of relief.

Although there were only two of them just now, they brought them boundless pressure.

Laiyang King stepped forward and said, “Your Majesty, what should we do now?”

“What else can we do? Quickly mobilize the entire nation’s power to search for her! We must find Situ Dianmo and bring her back!”

Dugu Yi’s face was extremely grim. He already knew how terrifying Ye Bufan’s Medical skill was, and he had no doubt about the other party’s words.

If Situ Dianmo could not be found, then after a year, it would truly be his death sentence.

Ye Bufan and Xiaoqing traveled at full speed, flying directly towards the Tianfeng Empire.

With their current cultivation, they didn’t need to rest. They flew continuously for two days and two nights, and at dusk on the second day, they arrived at the Imperial City of the Tianfeng Empire.

Returning here again, Ye Bufan still felt a slight sense of emotion.

When he left, his cultivation had not yet recovered, but now he was at the Body Integration Late Stage.

They silently crossed the city wall and entered the city, finally landing on Lingxiao Mountain.

As soon as he returned here, Ye Bufan’s expression changed.

When he left, Shui Mu University had already begun reconstruction, but now there were ruins everywhere, clearly a scene of recent conflict.

Looking up towards the direction of the main hall, he saw seven or eight people tied in a row to the pillars in front of the door.

Nalan Yujia, Jiang Fangzhou, Lu Xueman, and others were all among them, including Zhang He, Zhongli Mei, and Li Daoran, all of whom were tightly bound.

These people all had weak Auras, clearly indicating that their cultivation had been sealed.
