Chapter 2354: The Second Elder of Wuliang Palace

Mu Xiaoyun said nervously, “Ye Yixian, you wouldn’t be thinking of taking this opportunity to launch a sneak attack on the Second Elder, would you? That’s impossible!

The power of a Late Stage of the Great Vehicle Realm expert far exceeds our imagination; even a sneak attack wouldn’t give us any advantage.

Moreover, there’s also the Fourth Elder nearby, so even if your sneak attack succeeds, we won’t be able to escape.”

“I told you, don’t worry, leave all this to me to arrange.”

Ye Bufan smiled slightly, then began to help Nalan Yujia disguise her appearance. Soon, another Huang Ling appeared on the scene.

This wasn’t all; he reached out and grabbed Luo Tianya and Huang Ling from the ground, performing another series of quick operations.

Soon, the four people swapped identities, and they transformed into the appearances of Ye Bufan and Nalan Yujia.

“Ye Yixian, what exactly are you trying to do?”

Mu Xiaoyun was even more confused, increasingly unable to understand his intentions.

“You just need to do as I say…”

Ye Bufan instructed the two of them, then said to the Thunder Eagle next to him, “Deal with all these people, and also those who escaped earlier. Don’t let any of them leave the Endless Forest alive.”

He was not a bloodthirsty person, but he would never be soft-hearted either.

Now that all seven golden bell buddha fruits were in his hands, if he let these people go, it would become known to the whole world, and then troubles would inevitably follow.

“Don’t worry, leave this small matter to me. Old Eagle guarantees that not a single one of them will make it out alive.”

After the Thunder Eagle finished speaking, several arcs of lightning shot out, instantly turning Liu Zhanhao and the others nearby into nothingness.

Then, it spread its wings and flew up, leading its Yao Beasts to search for the remaining people.

Ye Bufan sealed Mu Xiaoyun’s acupoints. He and Nalan Yujia treated the three people as captives and rushed together towards the exit.

On a mountain peak at the edge of the Endless Forest, a middle-aged man stood with his hands behind his back.

He wore a long robe and carried a long sword on his back. The howling mountain wind made his clothes flap, and a powerful Aura emanated from his entire body.

This person was precisely Su Maochen, the Second Elder of Wuliang Temple, an expert at the Late Stage of the Great Vehicle Realm.

Beside him was another thin middle-aged man, the Fourth Elder Tan Boyang.

As Great Ascension Stage experts, they only needed to guard this place, and their immensely powerful Divine Sense could cover a hundred-mile radius entirely, ensuring no one could escape from the Endless Forest.

Tan Boyang said, “The Grand Elder and the Third Elder have been missing for so long, and we don’t know where they went. There’s no information at all. Could something dangerous have happened?”

“How is that possible!”

Su Maochen shook his head, saying proudly, “How could that be? Even Ximen Jiayin of Nine Heavens Immortal Palace wouldn’t dare to truly kill an Elder of my Wuliang Temple, let alone anyone else.

Moreover, in this Tianqiong State, people whose Cultivation is higher than the Grand Elder are as rare as Phoenix feathers and Qilin horns, let alone killing him.

I guess something must have delayed him; we’ll have news soon.”

“What the Second Elder said makes sense.”

Tan Boyang nodded; he also felt that it should be this way.

Then he added, “Tianya just said he’s coming back soon. I wonder how this trip went and if he got the golden bell buddha fruit.”

“Don’t worry, although the Endless Mountain Range doesn’t allow us to enter, a ninth-tier Yao Beast won’t make a move either.

In that case, Elder Meng is the Cultivator with the highest Cultivation among all of them. How could he not get the golden bell buddha fruit? The only suspense is how many he got…”

As the two of them were talking, they suddenly saw several figures rushing out from inside the Endless Forest.

The one in front was Luo Tianya, holding two people in his hands, followed by a girl, who was holding another woman.

“It’s Tianya back, why didn’t I see Meng Gang?”

Su Maochen frowned, then recognized Mu Xiaoyun at a glance, “Isn’t that the little girl from Nine Heavens Immortal Palace? I saw her next to Ximen Jiayin before. How did she get captured?”

Tan Boyang naturally couldn’t give an answer. Both of them were utterly confused, and just then, Ye Bufan had already arrived beside them.

He had completely changed his appearance, and his Chaotic True Qi could simulate the Aura of any Cultivation Technique. At this moment, he appeared no different from the real Luo Tianya.

He came before the two of them and immediately showed a sorrowful expression: “Two Elders, something has happened…”

Su Maochen’s expression darkened: “What exactly happened? Tell me slowly!”

“It’s like this, Seventh Elder, he has fallen…”

Ye Bufan acted vividly, even with a slight choke, recounting the entire incident from beginning to end.

There was no concealment in these details; they were all facts, so there would naturally be no flaws.

“Damn it, you mean all seven golden bell buddha fruits were taken by that kid?”

There was only a Sect connection between Su Maochen and the Seventh Elder Meng Gang, with no deep personal ties. In comparison, he cared more about the seven golden bell buddha fruits.

“Yes, but the Second Elder doesn’t need to worry. The one surnamed Ye has already been captured by me, and the other two are his female companions.”

As Ye Bufan spoke, he pointed back at Luo Tianya and Huang Ling behind him.

“You mean it’s him?”

Su Maochen scanned his gaze around, finally looking at Mu Xiaoyun again, and had no more doubts. After all, a Core Disciple of Nine Heavens Immortal Palace was not someone just anyone could impersonate.

Tan Boyang said with some doubt, “According to what you said, this kid is very capable. Even the Seventh Elder fell, so how did he end up in your hands?”

“It’s like this, Elder…”

Ye Bufan recounted the explanation he had already prepared, “His Cultivation is not high; he mainly relies on controlling those Yao Beasts.

Later, after he got the golden bell buddha fruit, he thought everything was fine and wanted to leave the Endless Forest. I happened to meet him, so Huang Ling from Lingxiao Academy and I ambushed them from behind.”

If Su Maochen had thought carefully, he might have found the loopholes in his explanation, but what he cared about most right now was the golden bell buddha fruit.

“Where is it? Did you bring the golden bell buddha fruit?”

“Of course, it’s right here.”

As Ye Bufan spoke, he flipped his wrist, and two golden bell buddha fruits appeared in his palm, which he handed to the two of them respectively.

“It really is the golden bell buddha fruit!”

Su Maochen looked at the fruit in his hand and immediately beamed with joy. As long as he got this item, his trip this time would not have been in vain.

Ye Bufan then said, “Elder, I found this from that kid’s Storage Ring. Logically speaking, it should be correct.

But I always feel the scent seems a bit off, and I don’t know if it’s real or fake.

Please, both of you, help me identify it. We absolutely must not be deceived; that kid is very cunning, you know.”

“Is that so? Let me see.”

Su Maochen said, holding the golden bell buddha fruit in his palm, carefully examining it, and finally sniffing it with his nose.

Tan Boyang did the same, carefully playing with the fruit in his hand, examining it from beginning to end.

A moment later, Su Maochen said, “No problem. The scent is indeed a little strange, but there is Buddha’s charm flowing within, and the Spiritual Qi is abundant. It should be the true golden bell buddha fruit.”

Tan Boyang nodded along: “That’s right, this is the true golden bell buddha fruit!

Even if someone wanted to forge it, they couldn’t make it look like this. At least this kind of Buddha’s charm cannot be simulated.”

Su Maochen burst out laughing: “Tianya, you’ve rendered a great service this time. After we return, I will commend you to the Sect Master.”

“That’s right, truly the student surpasses the teacher…”

Tan Boyang also wanted to follow with a few praises, but he had only spoken halfway when his expression drastically changed. His smile instantly vanished, replaced by a face full of terror.

“What’s going on? Why has my Cultivation disappeared?”
