Chapter 3504: Third Elder Gui Rong

"This…"

The white-clothed scholar hesitated, but ultimately realized he could not keep these two tokens, and keeping the secret was useless, so he recounted the entire story regarding the tokens from beginning to end.

Upon hearing the end, Ye Bufan raised his eyebrows slightly, a glimmer of light flashing in his eyes.

This Purple Firmament Immortal Pool was definitely a rare Opportunity for him.

Whether it was himself, Er Lang, or even Xuan Yuan Linglong before him, all were heavy consumers of Cultivation resources.

If they could enter the Purple Firmament Immortal Pool, the strength of all three would skyrocket.

But he was no longer the impulsive youth he once was; he sensed something amiss in this matter.

Normally, such important Cultivation resources could only be used by members of one's own Sect; how could it be brought out to be shared unconditionally with everyone in the Zixiao Heaven?

Although he had never met the Purple Firmament Immortal King, one who could become a hegemon of a region certainly would not be a brainless person.

The white-clothed scholar recounted the whole sequence of events from beginning to end, finally saying: "Young Master, I do not want the tokens anymore, I only ask that you spare my life."

Ye Bufan asked: "Since the Purple Firmament Immortal Pool is so important, why would the Purple Firmament Immortal King bring it out to share with everyone? This defies common sense."

"It is because of Tianji Zi of the Tianji Mountain Manor…"

The white-clothed scholar then explained the matter of the approaching great catastrophe.

"There is such a thing?"

Ye Bufan was somewhat skeptical, then employed the Seven Truths Soul-Fixing Technique to verify the information received, confirming that the other party was not lying.

He withdrew his silver needle, struck out with a sword to slay the white-clothed scholar, collected his Primordial Spirit, and flicked a flame to refine the corpse.

He had seen clearly the brutality of the competition for the tokens just now.

At the same time, he could feel how important the Purple Firmament Tokens were, enough to incite madness in countless people.

Under such circumstances, he naturally would not let the white-clothed scholar leave, otherwise, it would bring endless trouble upon himself.

Moreover, the moment the other party drew his sword against him, he was already a dead man; there was nothing to pity.

Ye Bufan took the two tokens, examined them in his hand, and then handed one to Xuan Yuan Linglong.

Xiao Qing asked: "Brother Ye, are you going to the Purple Firmament Immortal Pool?"

Ye Bufan nodded: "Yes, this is a once-in-a-thousand-years Opportunity, it cannot be missed."

Just then, three figures descended from the sky and appeared before the Nine Heavens; they were clearly three Great Luo Immortals.

"Little fellow, I ask you, have you seen three people…" The leading middle-aged man looked at Ye Bufan, originally intending to ask something, but halfway through, his gaze fell upon the tokens in his and Xuan Yuan Linglong's hands.

"Purple Firmament Tokens, you actually have them too!"

The middle-aged man let out an exclamation, and the two people behind him also looked over, their eyes filled with greedy light.

Ye Bufan said indifferently: "Whether I have them or not, what does it have to do with you?"

"Hahaha, I really didn't expect us to find the tokens so quickly!"

The middle-aged man clearly did not notice the disdain in his tone, laughing wildly.

It turned out these three were known in the Jianghu as the three Xie brothers; although they had no Sect, their strength was extremely formidable.

The eldest, Xie Donglai, was a Great Luo Immortal Peak; the second, Xie Dongbai, was a Great Luo Immortal Late Stage; and the third, Xie Donghai, was a Great Luo Immortal Middle Stage.

They had also just received news of the Purple Firmament Tokens and immediately came out to seize them.

They had originally been following the middle-aged scholar to chase the two Black-Clothed Men, but they arrived a step late and saw the tokens in Ye Bufan's hands instead.

The middle-aged man was the eldest, Xie Donglai, and he glanced at Ye Bufan: "Kid, hand over your two tokens, and I can spare your lives!"

Unexpectedly, having killed the middle-aged scholar, trouble still came knocking; Ye Bufan frowned slightly.

Just as he was preparing to deal with these guys, his heart suddenly stirred, and he looked up toward the distance.

"Ye Bufan, pay with your life!"

As the voice fell, a powerful aura descended like a landslide, overflowing with Killing Intent.

A figure sped over from the distance, arriving before everyone in the blink of an eye; it was an old man with white hair.

Upon seeing this person, the three Xie brothers no longer had their previous arrogance and immediately retreated to the side.

The brothers were originally Loose Cultivators, and to have survived for so many years and attained their current cultivation, discernment and intellect were indispensable.

The old man before them was none other than the Third Elder of the Divine Fire Sect, Gui Rong, a veteran Immortal King Early Stage powerhouse; neither his Sect nor his strength were things they could provoke.

Moreover, looking at the old man's appearance, filled with Killing Intent, it was clearly not going to be anything good.

Fortunately, Gui Rong's gaze did not fall on the three of them, but rather on that young man.

However, the three Xie brothers sighed secretly in their hearts; it seemed this young man would undoubtedly die today, and those tokens would not be theirs.

Ye Bufan glanced at Gui Rong: "You are looking for me?"

"Are you Ye Bufan?"

The Divine Fire Sect, as one of the Five Great Sects, also had its own intelligence network.

Gui Rong quickly tracked down Ye Bufan's whereabouts and obtained his portrait; now he was just confirming it.

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

"It really is you, kid. You actually dared to kill my grandson. Today, I will have you hacked into ten thousand pieces; I will extract your soul and burn it with Yin Fire for ten thousand years…"

Gui Rong gritted his teeth until they rattled, showing just how deep his hatred was.

Originally, Gui Ping was his most doted-upon grandson; for so many years, no one dared to touch him despite his reckless behavior, yet he had unexpectedly died at the hands of this person before him.

Hearing this news, the three Xie brothers on the side all grimaced.

Who exactly was this young man? Had he eaten the heart of a leopard or the guts of a lion? He actually dared to kill the Third Elder's grandson.

Thinking of this, the three had completely given up, but fearing they might cause a misunderstanding with Gui Rong, they stood there without moving.

They dared not step forward nor flee, waiting quietly for this matter to conclude.

Ye Bufan couldn't be bothered to waste words with this old man, saying indifferently: "I'll give you a chance, get lost immediately!"

Gui Rong was stunned; he hadn't expected the other party to dare be so arrogant before him.

"Kid, go to hell!"

With a great shout, an Immortal Essence giant hand grabbed directly over.

"Old thing, you think you're something, don't you!"

Xiao Qing's figure flashed, blocking in front of Ye Bufan, and she slapped out, first shattering that Immortal Essence giant hand, then striking heavily across Gui Rong's face.

This slap was heavy and ruthless, sending him flying over a hundred zhang away.

"Ugh!"

At this moment, the three Xie brothers widened their eyes abruptly, their eyeballs almost popping out of their sockets.

What was this situation? That was the Third Elder of the Divine Fire Sect, an Immortal King level powerhouse, yet he had been slapped into this state by someone.

If they hadn't seen it with their own eyes, they wouldn't have believed it even if they were beaten to death.

The most incredulous was Gui Rong himself; upon receiving the news that his grandson had been slain, he had come out immediately to seek revenge.

He had finally found Ye Bufan, but never expected that the powerhouse by his side would be even more formidable than himself.

"This…"

At this moment, he was completely dumbfounded; normally he would seek revenge, but with this gap in strength, what kind of revenge could he possibly seek?

Before Gui Rong could figure out if he should flee, Xiao Qing had already grabbed his neck and slammed him heavily in front of Ye Bufan.

"Brother Ye, how should we deal with this Old thing?"
