Chapter 3753 Red Lotus Pill

It was Ye Bufan who made the move; the Divine Sense Blade combined with Dark Moon Silent, everything was done smoothly and silently.

He secretly marveled to himself, if these two methods of his were combined, he would definitely become the most top-tier assassin, many times more powerful than even an ultimate kill.

While thinking this, his hands did not pause at all; before Han Lingduan's head could even land, he stored it into his Storage Ring.

This included the corpse on the bed, his speed was astonishingly fast, not even a single drop of blood was left behind.

For him, his current strength was already comparable to a Peak Immortal Lord; killing an Immortal King Han Lingduan was as easy as slicing melons and dicing vegetables.

The difficulty of this assassination lay in its silence, as it was within an inn, surrounded by an unknown number of Immortal Venerables; at least every major Sect had one.

Including the Han Family's Grand Elder Han Fangcuo, who was an Immortal Venerable expert; once alerted, the consequences would be unimaginable.

Therefore, he did everything cautiously, striving not to make any sound or leave any flaws.

In fact, he succeeded; Han Lingduan had no reaction at all before being completely annihilated.

After completing all of this, his figure once again disappeared into the darkness, as if he had never appeared.

The Han Family inn was heavily guarded, especially around Han Lingduan's room, which was even more stringent than other places, as this was a Disciple preparing for the competition after all.

Unfortunately, the guards outside did not detect any abnormality, and remained completely oblivious until Han Lingduan completely disappeared.

Ye Bufan quietly returned to the Dile Heaven inn, without alarming anyone.

He issued an instruction for Ye Erlang to get up and pretend to go to the restroom, then the two of them swapped identities and returned to the courtyard.

The reason for such trouble was to keep himself constantly in everyone's sight.

To tell everyone that he had not left, and it was impossible for him to carry out any assassination, so this matter had nothing to do with him.

The reason for killing Han Lingduan was to hide his strength, firstly to better play the pig to eat the tiger, and secondly to reduce others' suspicion of him.

So after returning to the courtyard, he continued drinking with everyone.

At this moment, a full moon hung in the sky; everyone drank and admired the moon, enjoying the food until dawn the next day.

After dawn, Ye Bufan did not return to his room to rest, but directly took everyone out to tour Yuangu City, and another day passed.

At the Han Family inn, early the next morning, by calculation, only one day remained until the Hundred Sects Tournament.

Although they searched with all their might, there was still no news of Han Lingkuang.

Han Fangcuo was somewhat despairing; it could now basically be confirmed that this Core Disciple had likely fallen.

Originally, there were five people entering the Hundred Sects Tournament, and Han Lingduan was just an Immortal King, so only three Core Disciples had hope of reaching the end.

He was afraid that the remaining few might suffer another mishap, so he ordered his subordinates to gather all four Disciples who were about to compete.

He intended to warn them not to go out before the competition and not to do anything dangerous again.

Not long after, Han Lingce and the two other Immortal Lords quickly came to his room.

But after waiting for a long time, the person who went to call Han Lingduan's family ran back, looking panicked.

“Elder, this is bad, I searched for a long time but couldn’t find Young Master Lingduan!”

“What? How is that possible?”

Han Fangcuo's expression changed, and he quickly swept his Divine Sense across the area, but he couldn't find any trace of Han Lingduan within the entire Han Family inn.

Although with his powerful Divine Thought, he could instantly scan the entire Yuangu City, he dared not do so.

After all, the city was filled with Restrictions, especially within the inns; to protect the privacy of each Sect, at least three Restrictions had to be set up, and if he forcibly intruded, it would cause a huge uproar.

“Call all those guards to me!”

Han Fangcuo was furious, summoning all the guards stationed outside Han Lingduan's room, but after questioning them for a long time, there were still no clues.

No one found out when Han Lingduan left, nor did anyone notice anyone coming.

“Useless! All useless, get out of my sight!”

Han Fangcuo was enraged; under his very nose, within the Han Family inn, a Core Disciple had gone missing, with no sign of life or death, which truly made the Han Family lose face.

“What are you all still standing here for? Go out and find him!”

He dispatched some of the Han Family's Core Disciples and guards to search for Han Lingduan's whereabouts.

At the same time, he gathered Han Lingce and the two other Disciples who were preparing for the competition, keeping them by his side, fearing any further accidents.

As a result, after searching for a long time, almost scouring the entire Yuangu City, they found nothing.

The Han Family had also suspected an external invasion, but no traces could be found.

Han Fangcuo even sent people to specifically investigate Ye Bufan's whereabouts, but found that the other party had been in the inn all along, watched by countless eyes.

Not to mention whether he had the ability, he didn't even have the time to act, so he dismissed his own speculation.

Ye Bufan spent a day touring Yuangu City, and feeling that the time was right, he led everyone back to the inn.

“Alright, everyone, go back and rest; Dianmo, accompany me tonight!”

He revealed a lecherous smile and pulled a blushing Situ Dianmo into his bedroom.

After entering the door, his smile quickly disappeared, and he successively set up over a dozen Restrictions, then the two of them entered the Dragon King Palace together.

He wanted to help Situ Dianmo improve her strength, but it was not suitable to undergo Tribulation outside at this time, otherwise it would attract too much attention; the best place was here.

“Ye Dage, is something the matter?”

Situ Dianmo sensed that something was unusual.

“Tomorrow is the Hundred Champions Competition, hurry up and raise your strength.”

Ye Bufan said, flipping his wrist, and a Red Lotus Medicinal Pill appeared in his palm.

“This is the Medicinal Pill I refined for you, take it.”

Situ Dianmo took the Medicinal Pill, threw it into her mouth, then sat cross-legged on the ground, circulating the Immortal Essence within her body.

The Medicinal Pill melted upon entry, and a moment later, a dense bloody Qi erupted from her body, overflowing from countless pores, transforming into a tangible blood mist that enveloped her entire being.

As time passed, the blood mist outside her body was slowly absorbed, becoming increasingly faint, while her Aura continuously climbed upwards.

The Red Lotus Medicinal Pill was tailor-made for blood cultivators, and its medicinal effects were astonishing.

About a quarter of an hour later, the blood mist completely disappeared, and a soft click sound came from Situ Dianmo's mind, followed by her Aura instantly breaking through a Bottleneck, officially stepping into the Immortal Lord realm.

“I successfully Breakthrough!”

Situ Dianmo opened her eyes, filled with excitement.

She didn't care about the outcome of the Hundred Champions Competition, but she wanted to improve her strength to assist her man; naturally, the stronger, the better.

“Don’t rush, this is not enough.”

Situ Dianmo's opponent was an Early Stage Immortal Lord, and a Disciple from a major Sect, with formidable strength, so she needed a higher cultivation to be fully confident.

Ye Bufan said, and handed over two more Red Lotus Medicinal Pills.

Normally, it is best to have a period of interval before taking the same Medicinal Pill again for optimal effect.

Continuous consumption would lead to a decrease in effectiveness, similar to drug resistance on Earth.

But Ye Bufan didn't care; since the Medicinal Pills were refined by him, if one wasn't enough, he would use two.

Situ Dianmo swallowed two more Red Lotus Medicinal Pills, and an hour later, her cultivation directly broke through to the Middle Stage Immortal Lord.
