Chapter 2480: Kill Again

With the competition reaching this point, today's events were completely over, even saving the trouble of tomorrow's group draw.

Tomorrow's two matches would be Leng Qingqiu and Hua Ruyu competing for third place.

The remaining match was the grand final, with Ye Bufan and Wangchen vying for the ultimate championship.

Everyone dispersed, and Ximen Feng and the people from Tianluo State returned to the inn, their hearts filled with excitement.

Before this, although she had guessed that Ye Bufan would achieve remarkable results, she never expected him to make it into the grand final.

The most excited was Qin Biyao; as a person from Tianluo State, she naturally knew how hard-won this victory was and what it meant for them.

Even if Ye Bufan lost the last match, he had already earned sixty-four points, plus the points from Jiang Fangzhou and others' victories, totaling around seventy points, which should mean they wouldn't be at the bottom.

This would bring new opportunities to Tianluo State, allowing them to enter the Ten-Tier Tongtian Tower and subsequently enter a virtuous cycle.

Jiang Fangzhou excitedly said, “Ye Dage, since we won today, why not bring your sister-in-law back?”

“Now is not the time.”

Ye Bufan shook his head; he understood Leng Qingqiu's personality.

Although she would concede to him today, she would definitely secure third place tomorrow to fulfill her promise, and before that, she would not leave the Cold Sword Immortal Sect.

Moreover, since the two had already reunited, there was no need to rush, as the ultimate goal was the Ten-Tier Tongtian Tower, and the most urgent task now was to improve his own strength.

Ximen Feng said, “Ye Yixian, winning is a good thing, but I fear the Cold Sword Immortal Sect will hold a grudge against you.

I clearly felt Li Miaozhen's Killing Intent on the viewing platform earlier.”

Ye Bufan smiled casually, “It's fine; many people want to kill me now; she's just one more.”

Ximen Feng said anxiously, “I'm not joking with you; it's really dangerous.

It's possible those people will act against you tonight.

How about this, let's stay together; there's always more strength in numbers.”

“Grand Elder, you really don't need to worry; didn't I come through safely last night?”

Ye Bufan said, “How about this, they are after me.

You help me take care of Elder Qin and Water Fairy, and I'll handle everything else myself.”

“Alright then!”

Although Ximen Feng had some reservations, thinking about how he miraculously escaped danger last night, she said no more, as everyone has their own secrets.

Qin Biyao and Shui Yueli also hesitated but ultimately agreed.

They also knew that with their cultivation, they couldn't help at all and would only be a burden if they stayed.

Subsequently, everyone returned to the inn.

Ye Bufan escorted Qin Biyao and her disciple to the Tianqiong State's area, then took his people back to his room and directly closed the door.

Inside the Shenwu King's manor, four people were gathered in Baili Xingkong's study.

Besides him, there were Grand Elder Nangong Shangyuan of Jijian Sect, Grand Elder Feng Manlou of Shenfeng Valley, and Grand Elder Li Miaozhen of Cold Sword Immortal Sect.

Baili Xingkong's expression was grim, filled with Killing Intent.

“Everyone, I've invited you here for only one topic: for all of us to work together to kill that Ye, and never let him live.”

Feng Manlou said, “Your Highness, is that really necessary? He's just a Young man, no matter how Heaven-Defying he is.”

“Of course, it's necessary!”

Baili Xingkong said, “You've seen this kid's ability; he can be called a Prodigy.

If he is allowed to grow, he will inevitably become a threat to our several states in the future.

The most crucial thing is, if he wins the final match tomorrow, he will instantly gain one hundred and twenty-eight points.

Everyone should know what that means.

That way, Tianluo State will become the state with the most points, becoming the first place in this competition, and will consequently receive the most resources.

There are only so many Cultivation resources on the entire Kunlun Continent.

If they grow, they will inevitably squeeze our states' shares.

Therefore, in my opinion, this child must not be kept; he must be eliminated.”

“I agree with Your Highness's statement.”

This time, Li Miaozhen stepped forward to express her agreement, “No matter what, that kid remaining is a huge disaster, so he must die!”

“I also think so; that kid should be eliminated as soon as possible!”

Nangong Du being crippled made Nangong Shangyuan of Jijian Sect equally filled with Killing Intent; it was just that he hadn't found a suitable opportunity to act before.

“Since everyone feels this way, I have no objection.”

Although Feng Manlou did not have much personal enmity with Ye Bufan, Feng Wuhen had, after all, been defeated by him.

Most importantly, from a long-term perspective, the rise of Tianluo State would inevitably threaten the resources of their several states.

Baili Xingkong nodded in satisfaction, “Since everyone has no objection, then we will act at midnight to kill Ye Bufan.”

Feng Manlou said, “Although that kid is somewhat of a Prodigy, he's only at Dongxu Peak.

Do we really need all of us to act together to kill him? That's giving him too much credit!”

“What we want is foolproof, and I have already failed once before.”

Baili Xingkong did not hide anything, recounting the details of last night's failure, and finally said, “That kid is as cunning as a fox.

I fell into his Dao with a moment of carelessness.

So this time, the four of us will go together.

In the face of absolute strength, I don't believe he can stir up any more trouble.”

“So that's how it is.”

Feng Manlou nodded, “However, we still need to hide our identities.

If others knew that the four of us old fellows were acting together against a junior, wouldn't we be laughed out of our teeth?”

“Naturally.”

Baili Xingkong said, “This matter is known only to the four of us and must not be leaked, otherwise, it would have a huge impact on the reputation of the Genius Prodigy Competition.”

The other few nodded; even if they didn't say it, they wouldn't leak it, after all, this wasn't a good thing, and if it got out, not only would they lose face, but their Sects would also be disgraced.

After discussing, the four sat together drinking tea, and at midnight, they left the manor together.

They were all Void Tempering Peak powerhouses, incredibly fast, and their movements were silent.

At the inn, due to the large number of powerhouses from various Sects, to avoid alarming more people, Baili Xingkong did not use his Divine Sense to scan but had been sending people to keep an eye on the place.

As soon as he arrived, Baili Chengye ran over.

“Greetings, Your Highness!”

Baili Xingkong asked, “How is it? Is Ye Bufan inside?”

Baili Chengye nodded, “He's been hiding in his room since returning from the competition and hasn't come out.”

Baili Xingkong turned around and put on his mask.

“Let's all act together.

Don't be polite when you see that kid; kill him directly, then we'll leave.”

After speaking, he soared into the air, and the other three followed closely, descending together into the courtyard where Tianluo State resided.

Upon arriving, they were all extremely cautious, guarding against the Formation trap from last time, but they found everything was quiet, with no situation occurring.

Baili Xingkong kicked open the door, and the few people swarmed in, rushing into the room with incredible speed.
