Chapter 3746 Three Families Join Forces

Ten thousand miles away from where Ye Bufan was, Zhao Xingkong stood with a gloomy expression in front of three corpses.

Although he wore a veil, his anger could still be felt from his gaze.

Behind him followed seven or eight people, all at the Immortal King Peak cultivation level.

The Zhao Family had many experts; while there weren't many Immortal King Peak powerhouses under a thousand years old, there were plenty above that age.

Zhao Xingkong originally thought Ye Bufan was just a Great Luo Immortal, and he wouldn't need to act personally to deal with such a minor figure.

But to his utter surprise, when he arrived, the three subordinates he had sent were already completely dead, not even leaving behind their Primordial Spirits.

The most crucial thing was that Ye Bufan had vanished, as if he had disappeared into thin air, leaving no trace or clue.

Damn it, what exactly is going on? Where did that boy run off to?

Were his subordinates killed by the other party? He is just a Great Luo Immortal, how could he possibly kill three Immortal Kings?

Zhao Xingkong was full of questions but could find no answers.

"Search for him! Dig three feet deep if you have to, but find that Ye!"

From the three corpses before him, the blood had not yet dried, so the other party should have just left and wouldn't be too far.

However, these Zhao Family members searched an area of ten thousand miles, but found nothing.

Zhao Xingkong's expression grew increasingly grim; Ye Bufan had escaped and killed three Immortal Kings, which was a slap in his face and the Zhao Family's face.

Most importantly, he had just received information from the Grand Elder that the Zhao Family had put all their liquid funds on Han Lingduan.

Under these circumstances, Ye Bufan had to be killed no matter what, and he could not be allowed to return to Yuangu City, otherwise the Zhao Family would inevitably suffer immense losses.

But the problem now was that the other party had vanished as if into thin air, with no trace of him; where could they find him?

Just then, more than a dozen Black-Clothed Men sped over from a distance.

These people were also wearing black robes, completely covering themselves, with only their eyes exposed.

The arrivals were divided into two groups: one was Jian Juechen from the Four Directions Sword Sect, and the other was Han Lingkuang from the Han Family.

As Immortal Venerable level powerhouses and core members of the Three Sects, Five Factions, and Seven Great Families, they were all very familiar with each other.

At this time, even though their faces were covered, they could guess each other's identities.

The reason they didn't openly show their faces was merely to provide a fig leaf for themselves, to avoid the Restrictions of the Hundred Sects Tournament rules.

Jian Juechen could also deduce Zhao Xingkong's identity through speculation and asked, "Where is that boy?"

"I don't know. I lost three subordinates, but he seems to have vanished, completely untraceable…"

Zhao Xingkong did not hide anything. Now that the three parties shared a common enemy, there was no need for mutual suspicion, so he briefly recounted the events.

Han Lingkuang said bitterly, "Damn it, how could a Great Luo Immortal kill three Immortal Kings?"

"I don't know either. Perhaps he had other helpers, or he used some despicable scheme."

Zhao Xingkong gritted his teeth as he spoke, "When I catch that boy, I'll tear him to pieces."

Jian Juechen said coldly, "The most urgent task is to quickly find him. I estimate he hasn't run too far, perhaps he's hiding in some corner.

How about this, we'll split into three directions and search together. Once he's found, we'll eliminate him immediately."

The others also felt the same way. Having just killed three Immortal Kings, even an Immortal Lord level powerhouse wouldn't escape too far, let alone a mere Great Luo Immortal.

They were decisive and immediately split into three directions to search.

Ye Bufan walked out of the cave. He did not remove the hidden Restriction, as the teleportation array was still there and would be useful later.

He could guess that after killing those three people, the Zhao Family would certainly not let it go, not to mention the Four Directions Sword Sect and the Han Family.

He stepped forward, confident that as soon as he appeared, he would quickly be discovered by the other party.

Indeed, just as he walked ten thousand meters away, sounds of rushing air continuously echoed around him.

Dozens of Black-Clothed Men swarmed towards him, surrounding him in the center in the blink of an eye.

Jian Juechen, Han Lingkuang, and Zhao Xingkong were all Immortal Lord level powerhouses. When searching, their Divine Sense was maximized, so Ye Bufan was discovered as soon as he showed himself.

The three of them, along with their subordinates, formed a triangle, surrounding Ye Bufan in the center, completely blocking any chance of escape.

"Quite a lot of people have come."

Ye Bufan had a faint smile on his face, not at all surprised by their arrival; it was entirely within his expectations.

"Ye, you still dare to come out? You have the guts, so why don't you hide?!"

Han Lingkuang gritted his teeth, his voice filled with endless hatred.

At this moment, he had no intention of hiding his identity either. The reason he still wore the mask was simply to avoid being caught with a handle.

Ye Bufan chuckled, "So it's the Han Family's Da Shao. Why are you still covering your face with a foot-wrapping cloth? Do you think you're too ugly and afraid of disgusting people?

And all of you, too, are you all afraid to show your faces?"

Han Lingkuang shouted, "Sharp-tongued! Today, I'd like to see where you'll run. Later, I'm going to pull out all your teeth and slice you into a thousand pieces with a single Dao."

Zhao Xingkong said, "Boy, hand over the nine nether blood lotus and those two hundred million Immortal Crystals, and I can leave you a complete corpse."

They spoke with full confidence. With three Great Immortal Lords here, and about twenty Immortal King Peak experts, the other party had no chance of escape, even if he grew wings.

"Just you?"

Ye Bufan, however, smiled faintly, his smile filled with disdain.

If he had encountered these people before his cultivation improved, he would have only been able to run, but now it was completely different.

Erlang's strength had reached the Immortal Lord Middle Stage, and with the cooperation of his Divine Sense Blade, killing these people was entirely effortless.

If he had encountered them in an arena, he would have shown mercy, at least preserving their Primordial Spirits.

But here, it was completely different. Even without using the Demon Refining Bottle, he would thoroughly kill these people, annihilating both their forms and spirits.

But just as he was about to use Erlang, his scalp suddenly tingled, and a very bad premonition arose in his heart.

That feeling was as if he had been targeted by a fierce hungry wolf, ready to pounce on him at any moment.

What's going on? Are there others hidden in the dark?

Ye Bufan extended his Divine Sense, but after searching the surrounding area, he found nothing.

The other party was hidden too well; if it weren't for his special Chaotic Immortal Essence, he wouldn't have been able to detect their presence at all.

Who exactly is this person? Is it a powerhouse secretly sent by these major families, or is it someone else entirely?

His mind raced, and suddenly, three words jumped into his mind—Dark Shadow Gate.

As Luo Bingyan had said before, if their first assassination failed, they would definitely not give up, and a second one would follow immediately.

It was just that he had been in Yuangu City before, and with so many old monsters there, even the Dark Shadow Gate would have scruples, so they didn't act.

Now the situation was completely different; the other party must be hiding in the dark, waiting for the right moment to strike.
