Chapter 2357: Are you giving in?

Ye Bufan immediately understood and asked the Black-robed man, "Are you from Xingchen Sect?"

"That's right, we are from Xingchen Sect."

The Black-robed man reached out and pulled off the mask on his face, revealing a gaunt face, then pointed to the white-haired elder, "This is our Xingchen Sect's Sect Master, Wu Qianli, and I am Grand Elder Wu Shentu."

Wu Qianli scrutinized Ye Bufan from head to toe and said coldly, "Boy, you're incredibly bold, daring to provoke even my Xingchen Sect."

Wu Peng, standing nearby, looked smug: "Surname Ye, what if you can invite the Sect Master of Nine Heavens Immortal Palace? In the end, didn't you still fall into our hands?"

Ye Bufan ignored him and instead looked at Wu Qianli and Wu Shentu: "I'm just a doctor, and there's no such great enmity between us. Is it necessary to go to such lengths to deal with me?"

He basically had a guess now: Xingchen Sect knew nothing about the Wuliang Temple incident.

If they had known that Ji Fengge and others were going to deal with him and then disappeared one after another, they probably wouldn't have had the courage to act.

But it was normal to think about it; the other party was just a Sect subordinate to Wuliang Temple, and it was impossible for them to be informed of some important matters.

"No grievances, no enmity? You, an outsider, dare to disrespect my Xingchen Sect. This is a capital offense!"

Wu Qianli was arrogant, looking as if he had already taken control of the situation.

"Originally, this old man wanted to personally kill you, but I didn't expect you to invite Ximen Jiayin.

So, a thought came to this old man's mind: to lure you out with the five-colored mystic stone, and it just so happened that news of a golden bell buddha fruit maturing arrived at that time.

Originally, I just wanted to try, but I didn't expect you, kid, to have some skill and actually get it, giving me an unexpected surprise.

Now, this old man can both avenge himself against you and obtain this treasure. It's truly killing two birds with one stone, hahahaha…"

Ye Bufan asked, "But I don't understand, where did the image of your five-colored mystic stone come from? Do you mean you don't have it at all?"

Wu Shentu said, "It's really a coincidence. The five-colored mystic stone from the previous auction was sold by my Xingchen Sect.

This item had been in the Sect for several hundred years, and we thought it was useless, so we took it out and exchanged it for ten million High-Grade Spirit Stones.

The image crystal I showed you earlier was prepared for the auction, and it just happened to be used on you later."

Upon learning the truth, that Xingchen Sect didn't have the five-colored mystic stone at all, Ye Bufan sighed inwardly, ultimately feeling disappointed.

He asked with a glimmer of hope, "Do you know who bought that thing?"

Wu Shentu said, "Since it was something already for sale, who would pay attention to those details? Besides, the other party was heavily veiled, so their appearance couldn't be seen at all."

Wu Chao curled his lip: "Kid, at this point, you're still concerned about that stone. You should be thinking about whether you can even survive!"

Ye Bufan said, "Tell me, what do you want?"

Wu Qianli smiled smugly: "Considering you have some Medical skill, I'll give you a chance.

First, hand over the golden bell buddha fruit, then seal your own cultivation, and honestly return to Xingchen Sect to perform Alchemy for me.

This old man can then let bygones be bygones and spare your life."

Ye Bufan hesitated for a moment: "I can hand over the golden bell buddha fruit to you, but you must let me go back."

"That's impossible! Kid, do you think you have any right to negotiate with us?"

Wu Shentu sneered, "Although you have a little bit of skill, both the Sect Leader and I are at Dongxu Peak cultivation, killing you is as simple as crushing an ant.

Don't think about bargaining, otherwise you will surely die."

"No, that's not what I mean."

Ye Bufan put on a pitiful expression, "I can swear to the heavens that after I go back, I will absolutely not bring Sect Leader Ximen to trouble you.

The golden bell buddha fruit can be given to you, and from now on, we'll go our separate ways and have nothing to do with each other."

"Kid, put away your petty tricks."

Wu Qianli smiled coldly, "This old man has lived for hundreds of years, and I've eaten more salt than you've eaten rice. How could I fall for such a small trick of yours?

If I let you go, I'm afraid there won't be a Xingchen Sect anymore.

Now there are only two choices: either honestly hand over the treasure and come back with me to perform Alchemy, or die.

As long as you die, I believe Ximen Jiayin won't come to trouble our Xingchen Sect either."

"You… you are going too far!"

Ye Bufan looked furious.

"So what if we're bullying you? It's your fault for not being strong enough."

Wu Qianli laughed heartily, "You should be glad you know Alchemy, otherwise you'd be dead by now."

Wu Peng followed up, shouting: "Kid, hurry up and give in. You have no other choice. From now on, you'll be an Alchemy machine for my Xingchen Sect." "I…"

Ye Bufan was filled with indignation, but finally sighed, "Alright then, I accept your terms."

Wu Chao curled his lip: "Coward, you're nothing. I thought you could stay tough until the end."

"Alright, don't talk nonsense."

Wu Qianli looked smug and raised a hand to stop Wu Chao.

"Kid, you're smart!"

He was overjoyed now, as both a High Grade Alchemist and the golden bell buddha fruit would be of immense benefit to Xingchen Sect.

"I hope you keep your word and guarantee my safety."

Ye Bufan, looking aggrieved, took out two golden bell buddha fruits, "Here, take them!"

Wu Qianli's eyes instantly lit up: "Kid, I never thought you'd get two golden bell buddha fruits at once."

With that, he reached out, and a powerful true Qi carried the fruits directly to him.

Wu Shentu's expression shifted: "Sect Leader, this kid is very cunning. Could there be something strange about these things? We should check them carefully, and make sure we're not tricked by him."

He had been secretly observing Gu Yi Men Clinic for some time and found that Ye Bufan had never suffered a loss.

Now, Ye Bufan actively taking out two golden bell buddha fruits immediately made him wary.

"You're right, check if there's any problem."

Wu Qianli thought the same, and with a wave of his hand, one golden bell buddha fruit flew over, while he himself began to examine the one in his hand.

Wu Shentu took it and also began to examine it thoroughly, fearing that he might be tricked by the other party.

Wu Peng and Wu Chao, the two brothers, also leaned in and carefully observed.

After examining them repeatedly for a long time, none of them found any flaws.

"Sect Leader, there's no problem. This is indeed the golden bell buddha fruit. I was overthinking it earlier."

Wu Shentu said, a smile appearing on his face.

"Excellent, excellent, I never thought I could get two golden bell buddha fruits at once, hahahaha…"

Wu Qianli burst into a smug laugh. If there was only one, he would have to consider whether to give it to Wuliang Temple first.

Now that he had two, he could offer one and keep one for himself.

"How about it? Are you happy? Are you pleased? But you're happy too soon. These are my things, and no one can take them away."

Ye Bufan shed his previous nervous demeanor, looked at the two with a chuckle, and reached out to take the golden bell buddha fruits back.
