Chapter 2288: How about peace talks?

The person who arrived was Xuanyuan Xun, the Grand Elder of Wuji Sect, whose cultivation had reached the Realm of Half-step Mahayana.

Hearing his question, Jiao Da pointed at Ye Bufan: “Replying to Grand Elder, this Young man is from the Secular World.

He previously killed our Ninth Elder Xie Lingyun, and now he has attacked our Wuji Sect, killing Grand Elder Xie Ling'an and injuring countless of our Disciples.

Please, Elder, act on our behalf and kill this madman!”

“Please, Elder, kill this madman!”

The surrounding Disciples also shouted in unison.

Xuanyuan Xun looked sharply at Ye Bufan, his eyes containing fierce Killing Intent.

As a Half-step Mahayana Stage expert, his every move carried immense pressure, and Lu Xueman and others, unable to withstand this pressure, retreated one after another.

But just then, he glimpsed Xiaoqing beside him and immediately frowned.

Because he found that while he could clearly see the cultivation of everyone else, he could not see through the cultivation of this little girl.

There were only two possibilities: first, the other party was an ordinary person.

But in the current situation, it was impossible for Ye Bufan to bring an ordinary person to attack Wuji Sect.

The second was that the other party's cultivation was higher than his own.

Moreover, he faintly felt a huge sense of crisis from the other party, which indirectly confirmed his guess.

“This is a Mahayana Stage expert!”

An extremely terrifying thought appeared in his mind. As an Old thing who had lived for hundreds of years, Xuanyuan Xun would not show any contempt because of the other party's appearance.

Many Mahayana Stage old monsters had various appearances, and even reverting to youth was a common occurrence.

Thinking of this, he broke out in a cold sweat. If it truly was a Mahayana Stage expert, the consequences for Wuji Sect once they made a move would be unimaginable.

Seeing that the Grand Elder had not yet acted, Jiao Da, kneeling on the ground, added fuel to the fire again: “Elder, it’s one thing that Ye Bufan killed our Ninth Elder in the Secular World, but he even attacked Wuji Sect.

He is simply lawless, showing no regard for us at all. If this Young man is not killed, our Wuji Sect will have no prestige left…”

He kept fanning the flames, desperately trying to enrage Xuanyuan Xun, but the next moment, he was immediately dumbfounded.

He saw the Grand Elder of Wuji Sect suddenly retract his powerful aura, and the treasured sword he was stepping on disappeared.

Then he landed in front of Ye Bufan, and with a beaming smile, he said, “Little brother, I think this matter is a misunderstanding. How about we negotiate?”

“Uh…”

This sudden scene caught everyone off guard, leaving them wide-eyed and dumbfounded.

According to legend, this Grand Elder had a very volatile temper, treating human lives like grass, and never needed a reason to kill.

Logically speaking, now that someone had attacked their Sect, he should have been furious and immediately struck with deadly force.

Why did he immediately want to negotiate with the other party, and even call him “little brother” repeatedly? What was going on? Had he become muddled in his old age?

Jiao Da swallowed, calmed his shocked mind, and said, “Elder, what’s wrong with you? He killed countless Disciples of our Wuji Sect…”

“You scoundrel, shut up.”

Hearing Jiao Da’s words, Xuanyuan Xun immediately became furious, “If it weren’t for you people running amok in the Secular World, how could he have attacked us?

Even now, you don’t reflect on yourselves. I will punish you by removing you from your position as Sect Leader and making you meditate in the back mountain for ten years!”

“Yes, Disciple knows his mistake!”

Facing the enraged Grand Elder, Jiao Da was terrified and dared not utter a single word of rebuttal.

Firstly, this Old Man was originally his grandmaster's generation, and secondly, his cultivation was evident; even if he slapped him to death, no one would say anything, and they would just find someone else to be Sect Master.

The other Disciples of Wuji Sect were all as quiet as cicadas in winter, lowering their heads, and no one dared to say anything more.

They had originally hoped that the Grand Elder would avenge them, but now it seemed that this idea had fallen through.

Ye Bufan looked at the Old Man in front of him with a half-smile. This guy had just been full of Killing Intent, and then suddenly made a 180-degree turn. Only a fool would not believe there was something fishy going on.

After a little thought, he understood the key. It seemed this Old thing was truly cunning; he must have seen Xiaoqing's extraordinariness.

Xuanyuan Xun turned his head back, his Face once again adorned with a brilliant smile, as if it wasn't him who had just lost his temper.

“Little brother, I have been negligent in disciplining these ignorant people and have made you laugh. I guarantee that such a thing will never happen again in the future.

Let’s end today’s matter here. How about we negotiate?”

After he finished speaking, the Disciples of Wuji Sect all sighed inwardly.

For so many years, this Young man was probably the first to make the Grand Elder speak in such a humble tone.

In their hearts, they believed the other party would accept this outcome, after all, the other party had gained a great advantage.

Moreover, when the Half-step Mahayana Stage Grand Elder spoke, everyone had to give him Face.

It seemed that today’s grievances were suffered in vain, and the deaths were also in vain.

But what they never expected was that Ye Bufan coldly smiled: “Negotiate? Dream on!

I tell you, today I am here to destroy the Sect. From now on, there will be no Wuji Sect in Tianqiong State!”

He indeed had this thought: firstly, for his own grievances with Wuji Sect, and secondly, to permanently eliminate a hidden danger for Earth.

“Arrogant brat, what right do you have to say you’ll destroy my Wuji Sect!”

Seventh Elder suddenly jumped out and knelt before Xuanyuan Xun, bowing, “Grand Elder, this Young man is too arrogant. Please kill him!”

As soon as he finished speaking, he felt a huge, overwhelming force rush towards him, and then his entire body flew backward, spewing blood.

“You scoundrel, is this your place to speak?”

The one who struck was Xuanyuan Xun. Ye Bufan had just opened his mouth to say he would destroy Wuji Sect, which made him even more certain of his previous guess about Xiaoqing.

If the other party didn't have a Mahayana Stage expert backing him, he would never have said such a thing.

He was currently only at the Half-step Mahayana Stage, and encountering a true Mahayana Stage expert meant he would only be instantly killed.

In this situation, he naturally dared not engage in direct combat with the other party; that would only be seeking his own death.

The people of Wuji Sect did not understand what was going on, but seeing the miserable state of Seventh Elder, no one dared to speak again.

“Little brother, I think there are still benefits to our negotiation, it’s beneficial for both you and me.”

Xuanyuan Xun said again with a beaming smile, “If I’m not mistaken, you came to my Wuji Sect this time not just for revenge, right? You’re also looking for the Seal to the Secular World.”

Ye Bufan’s heart stirred. This Old thing was truly cunning; he had even figured that out.

He said indifferently, “So what?”

A hint of smugness appeared on Xuanyuan Xun’s lips, “To be honest, that Seal to the Secular World is under the control of my Wuji Sect.

Without our people to guide you, it would be quite difficult to find.”

Ye Bufan said, “That’s fine. After destroying your Wuji Sect, I can search slowly. I believe I’ll find it eventually.”

“What this little brother said is right. If you search slowly, you will definitely find it.”

Xuanyuan Xun smiled slyly, “But with so many Disciples in my Wuji Sect, you can’t guarantee you’ll kill them all, can you?

Once a few escape, if they accidentally completely destroy that Seal, I’m afraid no one will ever be able to go to the Secular World again.

As far as I know, this is the only passage.”

After he finished speaking, Ye Bufan’s heart suddenly tightened.
