Chapter 2363: Retreat

As soon as Qian Wuji spoke, everyone's gaze immediately focused on Ye Bufan.

Being able to follow behind Ximen Jiayin had already surprised everyone, and now, drawing the attention of the Wuliang Temple's Sect Leader, it immediately piqued the curiosity of others.

They didn't understand who this Young man was, to be so young and yet connected to the Sect Leaders of two great Nine Star Sects.

"That's right, it's me!"

Since he had been recognized, Ye Bufan didn't deny it, knowing it would be useless to deny it at this point.

"Young man, it's actually you. Do you know where my Wuliang Temple's Grand Elder went?"

The闷 that had been building up in Qian Wuji's heart for many days instantly erupted.

He had previously received the image and relevant information about Ye Bufan sent back by Ji Fengge, and was told that he would stay in Tianxing Empire Royal City to find an opportunity to kill him.

But after so many days, Ji Fengge and Zhou Wenyuan were nowhere to be found, while Ye Bufan stood there perfectly fine, causing a myriad of doubts to rise in his heart.

"Young man, quickly tell me, where is the Grand Elder?"

As he spoke, a powerful Aura suddenly erupted from Qian Wuji, pressing down on Ye Bufan like an overwhelming tide.

As a Peak Great Ascension Stage powerhouse, his Aura was something no ordinary person could resist. Those nearby who were affected retreated repeatedly.

Ye Bufan bore the brunt of it, and the feeling was certainly not pleasant. If he hadn't achieved Minor Achievement in Body Refining, he might have been severely injured by just this Aura.

Even so, he retreated more than ten steps, but still couldn't escape the opponent's Aura lock.

Just then, he suddenly felt light all over. Ximen Jiayin had already blocked in front of him, effortlessly taking on the opponent's pressure.

Ye Bufan then let out a long breath, quickly circulating his Chaotic True Qi to suppress his surging blood. If he had been a moment later, he probably would have spat out a mouthful of blood.

He secretly lamented that in this Cultivation World, having a low cultivation was indeed like being an ant. He still needed to quickly improve his cultivation.

Ximen Jiayin said coldly, "Sect Leader Qian, you are a Sect Leader after all. Is it really appropriate to attack a Junior like this?"

Qian Wuji snorted coldly and retracted his Aura.

Both of them were Peak Great Ascension Stage cultivators, and they knew that fighting would not give them any advantage.

"Sect Leader Ximen, this is a matter between my Wuliang Temple and him, and it has nothing to do with your Nine Heavens Immortal Palace."

"You're wrong about that. It actually does have something to do with it."

Ximen Jiayin said, "Ye Yixian is my lifesaver. Anyone who acts unreasonably against him is an enemy of my Nine Heavens Immortal Palace."

She spoke with full confidence. If she had faced the Wuliang Temple before, she might have been a bit cautious.

But now, the other side had lost four Great Ascension Stage powerhouses in a row. In terms of strength, they were no longer comparable to the Nine Heavens Immortal Palace, so there was naturally nothing to worry about.

Qian Wuji, being an old fox, naturally understood this principle. Before finding his four Elders, he also didn't have the courage to go to full war with the Nine Heavens Immortal Palace.

But if he retreated like this, it would also make him lose face.

Just as he was in a dilemma, Li Qingyang, the Sect Leader of Zhengyang Sect, quickly stepped forward to persuade them: "Two Sect Leaders, the most urgent matter is to deal with the Demon Sect. We can discuss other matters later."

"Young man, this matter isn't over. Don't think you can be lawless just because you have the Nine Heavens Immortal Palace as your backer."

Qian Wuji uttered a harsh remark, then took the opportunity to turn his head away. This small commotion was temporarily brought to an end.

After this incident, Yuan Tiancheng also recognized Ye Bufan's identity, and his gaze became unfriendly.

But since the Sect Leader was no longer speaking, he naturally couldn't say anything either, only glaring angrily.

Monk Faxiang asked with a look of longing, "Little benefactor, you just said you had a way. Is that true?"

Rationally, he didn't believe that this Young man could break the Demon Sect's Formation, especially since even Yuan Tiancheng was helpless.

But deep down, he had a glimmer of hope that he could save his Sect, and he couldn't give up on even a sliver of hope.

Ye Bufan nodded: "I'm not entirely sure, but I can try. Maybe I can break this Formation."

"Arrogant, ignorant, dreaming!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Yuan Tiancheng, who was nearby, burst into a furious rant.

"Young man, do you understand Formation? What do you think this is? Can it be broken so easily?

If breaking a Formation relies on luck, then what are we Formation Masters for?"

Ye Bufan looked at him and smiled slightly: "You're right, you're really useless."

"Uh…"

Hearing the sarcasm in his words, Yuan Tiancheng immediately became furious: "Young man, you actually dare to look down on this old man.

I can tell you, any Formation that I, Yuan, cannot break, you absolutely cannot break!"

As a Formation Great Master, the most taboo thing was for others to look down on the Domain he was most skilled in.

Now, being ridiculed by Ye Bufan, coupled with his previous dissatisfaction, all his anger burst out at once.

Even Qian Wuji turned his head back: "Young man, you just don't know anything, you're just spouting nonsense!"

One was the Sect Leader of a Nine Star Sect, and the other was a Formation Great Grandmaster. Neither of them took the Young man in front of them seriously.

Seeing the two of them like this, a smile played on Ye Bufan's lips.

"Since that's the case, how about we make a bet? Do you dare or not?"

In front of so many people, Yuan Tiancheng naturally wouldn't back down, and besides, he didn't think he would lose.

"What's there to be afraid of? Speak, what do you want to bet? My Wuliang Temple will accept it!"

Ye Bufan said, "No need to bet too big. If you lose, then from now on, anyone from the Wuliang Temple who sees me will first kowtow and greet me, then retreat three paces."

"Arrogant!"

Yuan Tiancheng was furious and about to erupt, but Qian Wuji pulled him back.

Ximen Jiayin stood by with a watchful eye; they wouldn't gain any advantage by fighting.

He said coldly, "Alright, we'll bet. But if you lose, what will you use as a wager?"

"I don't need anything. If I can't break the Formation, my life will be gone, so what use is a wager?"

After Ye Bufan finished speaking, he ignored the two of them. He turned back and instructed Ximen Jiayin a few words, entrusting all the people he brought to her care, then his figure flickered and he rushed into the Dark Night Demon Formation.

Seeing this scene, everyone present gasped.

They had originally thought Ye Bufan was just talking, but they didn't expect him to actually rush into the great Formation.

They had just witnessed how terrifying the Demon Sect's Formation was.

Even the two Peak Great Ascension Stage powerhouses couldn't do anything together, and High Grade spiritual weapons were swallowed cleanly. Wasn't it suicide for him to rush in alone?

Amidst everyone's astonished gazes, Ye Bufan directly entered the Dark Night Demon Formation, and his figure was instantly swallowed by black Qi.

"My heavens, is this guy crazy? Is this called breaking a Formation? Isn't this just seeking death?"

"Yeah, I've lived for so many years, and this is the first time I've seen a Formation broken like this…"

"What a pity, a life wasted for nothing…"

The onlookers shook their heads and sighed, filled with emotion.

Yuan Tiancheng was stunned for a moment, then a cold smile appeared on his face.

He had just seen the other party's imposing Aura and thought he might have some rough understanding of Formation, but he didn't expect him to be just a reckless fool. What was the difference between breaking a Formation with one's Physical Body and seeking death?

Qian Wuji secretly sighed. He hadn't expected the person to die just like that. If he had known, he should have clarified the Grand Elder's matter first.
