Chapter 2289: Money or life?

It must be said that this Old thing was truly cunning, hitting Ye Bufan's weak spot with a single blow.

No matter what, the only passage to the Secular World could not be destroyed, otherwise, how would he return?

Although he also guessed that there might be some exaggeration in Xuanyuan Xun's words, and the Seal might not be so easily destroyed.

But this passage was too important to him, and he could not allow even a tiny risk.

With a decision already made in his heart, Ye Bufan's expression remained calm.

"Since that's the case, how do you want to negotiate?"

Hearing him say this, Xuanyuan Xun became even more pleased: "It's simple, as I just said, both sides take a step back, and this matter is settled."

Ye Bufan gave him a cold glance: "Do you think a Seal can be exchanged for the lives of thousands of people from your Wuji Sect? Wouldn't that be too cheap?"

Xuanyuan Xun frowned slightly. He had originally thought he had the Young man in front of him cornered, but now it seemed it wasn't that simple.

Soon, a brilliant smile blossomed on his face again: "Little brother, negotiations are all about the 'negotiation' part. Feel free to state any conditions you have."

The surrounding Disciples of Wuji Sect were all confused as to why the Grand Elder was so subservient to this Young man.

However, with the Seventh Elder as a cautionary tale, no one dared to say anything more.

Ye Bufan said: "It's fine if I spare the Wuji Sect. First, take me to find that Seal. Second, hand over all your Cultivation resources."

When he finished speaking, everyone present changed their expressions drastically.

Finding that Seal was simple, but immediately handing over all Cultivation resources was a bit too much.

The smile on Xuanyuan Xun's face also disappeared: "Little brother, aren't you being a bit excessive?

Although my Wuji Sect has grievances with the Secular World, you have killed many of my Disciples just now.

Even the Grand Elder is dead, and you still want us to compensate? We cannot accept this condition."

He originally thought this condition could still be negotiated, but Ye Bufan's expression was firm, and he clearly uttered four words, "Money or life?"

"I…"

Feeling the aggressive Aura of the other party, Xuanyuan Xun's face turned red.

As the Grand Elder of an Eight-Star Sect, he had always been a supreme existence. When had he ever been so bullied?

"Ye Bufan, don't go too far.

If you really push my Wuji Sect to the brink, and we go all out, destroying the Seal will be a loss not worth it."

This fellow was cunning and knew what his most valuable bargaining chip was.

Ye Bufan glanced at him.

: "Leaving aside that destroying the Seal brings no benefit to you, it's also uncertain if you even have the capability.

Moreover, even if you do have the capability, what then? If you really destroy the Seal, then I won't go back. I'll just stay in the Kunlun Immortal Realm.

From now on, this Wuji Sect will be my foothold. I believe with my current strength, I can thrive even here."

"This…"

Xuanyuan Xun was speechless for a moment, only then realizing that the other party's biggest trump card was his strength.

It was no exaggeration to say that with the strength controlled by this Young man, establishing an Eight-Star Sect was more than enough.

If he looked further ahead, even building a Nine Star Sect was not impossible, after all, he was only in his twenties.

Thus, whether to go back or not truly wasn't that important anymore.

Seeing that the weight of his bargaining chips had greatly diminished, he could only reluctantly say, "Alright then, I agree to your conditions, but I hope little brother can be true to his word."

Seeing that the Grand Elder had actually agreed, the Disciples of Wuji Sect present immediately burst into an uproar.

Those were the Sect's Cultivation resources. Once handed over, it would mean losing their foundation.

"All of you, shut up!"

With a furious roar from Xuanyuan Xun, everyone present immediately fell silent.

Ye Bufan nodded: "Don't worry, I always keep my word. Since I promised to spare you, I won't go back on it."

"Alright!"

Xuanyuan Xun agreed, then turned to Jiao Da: "Go and bring all the Sect's resources over."

"This… Elder…"

Jiao Da looked hesitant. If they really handed over all the Sect's resources, then the Wuji Sect would be finished.

Xuanyuan Xun's face sank: "Stop talking nonsense, do as I say!"

"Yes…"

Although Jiao Da was extremely unwilling, he dared not disobey the Grand Elder's command and turned to leave.

For large Sects like theirs, the Cultivation resources within the Sect were generally not carried around, otherwise, once someone died, it would cause devastating consequences.

Before long, Jiao Da returned, holding a Storage Ring.

Xuanyuan Xun reached out, and the ring landed in his palm, then he handed it to Ye Bufan.

"Little brother, all of our Wuji Sect's resources are here."

Ye Bufan took the ring. Although he knew the other party must have held some back, he was still startled when his Divine Sense swept through it.

As expected of an Eight-Star Sect from Tianqiong State, the ring alone contained four to five million High-Grade Spirit Stones, in addition to countless

precious Ores and medicinal herbs.

"Alright!"

He put away the ring, "Take us to where the Seal is."

"Please follow me."

Xuanyuan Xun said, then turned and led the way. Apart from Jiao Da and a few uninjured core Elders, the rest of the Sect Disciples dispersed.

They traveled all the way, crossing Mount Wuji and arriving at a canyon behind it.

Inside, there were eight peaks, forming a valley when surrounded.

The valley floor was extremely flat, with an area of several thousand square meters.

Xuanyuan Xun stood at the foot of Wuji Peak, "Little brother, this is where the Seal is located."

Everyone looked together, but the area in front of them was empty, a vast expanse with nothing in sight.

Nalan Yujia said discontentedly: "Old man, are you playing with us?"

Ye Bufan, however, showed a change in expression, "Is this a hidden Formation?"

"Exactly. Little brother truly has discerning eyes. This is a hidden Formation. Generally, without the guidance of my Wuji Sect, it cannot be found."

As Xuanyuan Xun spoke, he unleashed several incantations. Immediately, a violent energy fluctuation came from within the valley, and then a disk-shaped Seal with a diameter of ten meters appeared in the center of the valley floor.

The Seal contained immense energy and emitted a faint light. Ye Bufan could even feel a strong ancient Aura.

He could confirm that this Seal was absolutely real; ordinary people wouldn't be able to forge one even if they wanted to.

"Little brother, this is the Seal leading to the Secular World. It's just not activated right now, it's in a dormant state."

"Alright, I'll go take a look!"

After all this, he finally found the way home. Ye Bufan's heart was filled with uncontrollable excitement.

His figure flashed, and he arrived in the center of the valley. Zhongli Mei and the others followed closely behind, examining the Seal together.

However, none of them understood Formations, and after observing for a long time, they couldn't make sense of it, only feeling that this was an extremely powerful Seal.

As Ye Bufan examined it, he slowly frowned. The current Seal was not merely dormant; it had also suffered significant damage.

If it continued in this state, it might not be able to activate even after another hundred years.

What frustrated him was that the damage to the Seal was likely caused by his own electromagnetic cannon.

At that time, his goal was to damage this Seal and permanently close the passage between the Kunlun Immortal Realm and Earth.

Now, his goal was achieved, but he had trapped himself on the Kunlun Immortal Realm side. Thinking about it made him feel disheartened.
