Chapter 3789: Who is it?

“This…”

Seeing the handwriting on the note, everyone from the Zhao Family was stunned, no one had expected such a result.

After a moment of daze, Zhao Xingfeng asked, “Elder, who exactly is this person? Is he friend or foe?”

“I don’t know either.”

Zhao Qinglian shook his head; even now, he was still completely bewildered, unable to guess the other party’s origin.

Zhao Xingfeng swallowed his saliva, “Then is the information on this real or fake? Should we believe it or not?”

“The information should be real.”

Zhao Qinglian slowly said, “To be able to pull off something like this right under my nose, their strength must be at least Immortal Venerable. Such a powerful individual wouldn’t be so idle as to joke with us.”

Another Zhao Family Disciple said, “Then, in that case, this person must be an enemy of Ye Bufan, wanting to use our hands to eliminate him?

But I don’t understand, since he is an Immortal Venerable level expert, why doesn’t he act himself?”

“There must be some unspeakable reason, or it’s simply inconvenient for him to act.”

Zhao Xingfeng said, “That Ye has indeed made many enemies. The question is whether we should believe him and whether we should go for the interception? Could this be a trap?”

Zhao Qinglian stroked his long beard, his mind rapidly spinning.

“It’s not necessarily a trap. With that kid’s strength, he’s not capable of doing anything to our Zhao Family. He probably just wants to use us to kill someone else.”

Zhao Xingfeng asked, “Then, should we do it or not?”

“Do it, of course, we must do it. How could we let go of such an opportunity? If Ye Bufan hadn’t been hiding in Yuangu City, our Zhao Family would have already torn him to pieces.”

Zhao Qinglian’s voice was filled with hatred, “Moreover, he has over four billion Immortal Crystals in his possession. As long as we find an opportunity, we must get them into our Zhao Family’s hands.”

This was also one of his important motivations; the current deficit was too large, and he couldn’t explain it to the Family upon returning. But if he could get his hands on those four billion Immortal Crystals, it would be entirely different.

Under these circumstances, even if they couldn’t figure out the person’s motive, the Zhao Family wouldn’t miss this opportunity.

“Since that’s the case, Elder, then let me go.”

Zhao Xingfeng volunteered, his heart filled with hatred for Ye Bufan, wishing he could personally eliminate him.

“You won’t do, your strength isn’t enough.”

Last time, Zhao Qinglian didn’t use Zhao Xingfeng, and it was the same this time. An Early Stage Immortal Lord going against Ye Bufan, it seemed there wasn’t much certainty of success.

Zhao Xingfeng was stunned, “Elder, do you intend to act personally?”

“We do need to make a move, but we also need to guard against that person stabbing us in the back, so he can’t catch us red-handed.”

Zhao Qinglian said, “This time, the Bixia Sect is taking Ye Bufan away. Fairy Chixia is extremely domineering, so we absolutely cannot leave any flaws when we act this time.

The person sent out must be strong, at least an Immortal Venerable level expert. I also cannot act, otherwise, it will attract the attention of the Bixia Sect.”

At this point, he saw a silent old man in the corner, “Junior Brother, I’ll leave this matter to you!”

It turned out this old man was named Zhao Qingzhuo, Zhao Qinglian’s Junior Brother, and his strength was Early Stage Immortal Venerable.

He had always kept a low profile, not participating in daily affairs, but when it came to action, he was definitely a ruthless character.

“Alright.”

Zhao Qingzhuo did not refuse the Grand Elder’s command and nodded in agreement.

“Your purpose for going this time is twofold: kill that Ye and seize his Storage Ring. Those four billion Immortal Crystals cannot be given away cheaply to others.

The most important point is to conceal your identity. Do not let anyone know that this is the work of our Zhao Family. If Fairy Chixia personally escorts that kid, then cancel the operation. Absolutely do not act.”

“I understand.”

Zhao Qingzhuo nodded. He was only an Early Stage Immortal Venerable. If a powerful person like Fairy Chixia were present, he wouldn’t dare to act even if he had ten thousand guts.

Similar scenes were playing out in the Four Directions Sword Sect and the Han Family. They all received paper balls that flew in from who knows where, indicating Ye Bufan’s whereabouts.

Ultimately, the choices of the two Families were largely similar to the Zhao Family’s. They each dispatched an Early Stage Immortal Venerable expert, concealing their identities, to the area between the Bixia Sect and Yuangu City, awaiting the interception.

Ye Bufan confirmed that Ye Tian was safe and sound and then checked the Immortal Crystals in his pocket.

He already had over 4.3 billion previously, and now, having received 500 million from Hua Shaokang, plus 100 million in remuneration from the Bixia Sect, he had almost 5 billion in cash.

Looking at the mountain of Immortal Crystals piled before him, Ye Bufan was overjoyed.

With such abundant resources, he, Xuan Yuan Linglong, and Ye Erlang could all achieve significant improvements.

However, he didn’t dare to Cultivate here. After all, the Dragon King Palace was his secret, and this was the Bixia Sect’s territory, so it was best not to be discovered.

Soon, he left the Dragon King Palace alone, not taking Ye Tian with him, as the sudden appearance of another person might arouse the Bixia Sect’s suspicion.

After leaving, he bid farewell to the Disciple guarding outside and returned to Yuangu City alone.

He traveled quickly, moving away from the Bixia Sect. When he reached approximately the midpoint between it and Yuangu City, a Black-Clothed Man suddenly flashed into view, blocking his path.

“Kid, stop right there.”

The Black-Clothed Man coldly shouted. He was completely covered from head to toe, and the only visible parts were his two eyes, which emitted a chilling killing intent.

Ye Bufan immediately stopped, displaying a look of surprise, “Is something wrong?”

“Hand over your Storage Ring!”

The Black-Clothed Man’s voice was cold.

“Why? This is my ring, why should I give it to you?”

Ye Bufan guarded the ring on his hand, retreating a few steps with a wary expression.

“Less nonsense, hand it over quickly.”

As he spoke, the Black-Clothed Man no longer concealed his Qi, and the might of an Immortal Venerable level expert instantly pressed down.

“It’s an Immortal Venerable level expert!”

Ye Bufan was filled with terror, then trembling, he took off his Storage Ring.

“If I give you the ring, will you let me go?”

The Black-Clothed Man’s gaze was cold, “Less nonsense, do you have the right to negotiate with me?”

“Alright then, Senior, please be merciful. After taking the ring, you must let me go.”

Ye Bufan said, flicking his finger, and the ring flew out of his hand, soaring forward.

A hint of joy flashed in the Black-Clothed Man’s eyes, and he reached out to grab the ring.

But at that moment, a cold light flashed before his eyes, and a sharp sword light streaked across the sky, directly striking his hand.

A hint of anger flashed in the Black-Clothed Man’s eyes, but at this moment, anger was useless. If he insisted on taking the ring, he might even have his palm cut off.

Helplessly, he could only retract his outstretched hand.

The sword light swept past, and another Black-Clothed Man appeared in the Void Realm, reaching out to grab the Storage Ring.

The Black-Clothed Man was incredibly furious, never expecting someone to come out and steal his prize.

“Get lost!”

He unleashed a punch, and a wave of overwhelming fist Qi surged towards the other Black-Clothed Man.

The full-power strike of an Immortal Venerable level expert naturally could not be underestimated. The other Black-Clothed Man also didn’t bother with the ring and quickly met the punch with one of his own. And just then, a third Black-Clothed Man appeared. As the two men were fighting, he reached out to grab the Storage Ring.
