Chapter 3792 Ye Tian leaves
Ye Bufan asked Zhao Qingzhuo some more questions. Although the latter answered them, there wasn't much useful information.
The matter was concluded, and he directly obliterated the other party.
The Zhao Family did not want to expose their attack on a participating Disciple, and he also did not want to publicly expose his strength, letting people know that he had annihilated three Immortal Venerable powerhouses.
Therefore, killing Zhao Qingzhuo under these circumstances was the best outcome for both sides.
Danger lurked everywhere now. Gouhun's previous ambush had sounded an alarm, indicating that someone else might be lurking nearby.
So, for safety's sake, he did not touch Zhao Qingzhuo's Primordial Spirit but obliterated him along with his Physical Body.
He then threw out several more fireballs, incinerating the remaining Physical Bodies of Gouhun and the others into nothingness.
After doing all this, he reached out and grabbed all the Storage Rings from the ground.
At first, he was quite excited, as these were the rings of Immortal Venerable powerhouses, which should contain a large amount of immortal crystals and various treasures.
But to his surprise, when his Divine Sense swept through them, they were completely empty, containing nothing at all.
"Damn it!"
Ye Bufan directly crushed the Storage Rings. It seemed these three old fellows had made ample preparations before coming out and had not brought their family's wealth with them.
With so many things happening and such a big commotion, it was not advisable to stay here for long. The two of them galloped tens of thousands of miles away before stopping.
Ye Bufan stopped and looked back at Ye Tian beside him.
"Brother, the Soul Devouring Demon Cave is extremely dangerous. Are you sure you want to go?
How about we go together after I come out of the Yuangu Secret Realm?"
It turned out that within the Dragon King Palace, he had already spoken about Hidden Immortal Valley and the Soul Devouring Demon Cave. Upon learning that there might be more demon seeds there, Ye Tian was immediately moved and wanted to go there for cultivation.
He had only one thought: to quickly improve his strength so he could provide more help to his Elder brother.
As a cultivator, Ye Bufan was not opposed to cultivation.
After all, the Dao of cultivation was about fighting against Heaven, competing with others, and going against the natural order. Only by continuously seeking Opportunity could one possess greater strength.
However, to defend against the Dark Shadow Gate's third assassination attempt, he had not allowed Ye Tian to leave immediately but kept him by his side, planning for him to depart after they reached Yuangu City.
Now the situation had changed. Not only were the Dark Shadow Gate's assassins dealt with, but also the people sent by the Three Great Families to intercept and kill them were resolved.
Since there was no danger, there was no need to keep Ye Tian anymore.
"Don't worry, Big Brother, I know what I'm doing."
Ye Tian's attitude was extremely firm. "I am naturally a Celestial Demon Body. That place won't have much impact on me; instead, it's a huge Treasure Trove.
Even if I can't find demon seeds, my cultivation speed will be countless times faster than in other places."
What he wanted to do was become his Elder brother's helper, not a burden, so he wanted to improve his strength as quickly as possible.
"Alright then, I'll go find you there after I come out of the Yuangu Secret Realm."
Ye Bufan nodded and said no more. He reached out and took out a sheepskin map, handing it to Ye Tian.
This was the map of the Middle Heaven Region previously obtained from Lingyun Sword Sect. Although not very detailed, it clearly marked the location of Hidden Immortal Valley.
"Big Brother, then we'll see each other again later."
Ye Tian took the map, waved his hand, then turned and sped off towards the west.
Ye Bufan wasn't too worried about his safety. After all, with the Celestial Demon Body and the strength of an Immortal Venerable Middle Stage, he was an extremely powerful existence even in the Middle Heaven Region.
It went without saying that in Hidden Immortal Valley, his dark Physique would be even more suitable for the environment, and his strength would improve even faster.
Just one demon seed had made Ye Tian's strength terrifyingly powerful. If he acquired a few more, who knew to what extent he would grow? Immortal Venerable Late Stage or Peak?
Carrying his hopes and blessings for his Junior Brother, he once again flew towards Yuangu City. The journey was peaceful, and he soon returned to the inn.
At the Zhao Family, Zhao Qinglian sat in the center, accompanied by others, all waiting for Zhao Qingzhuo's triumphant return.
However, time passed minute by minute, and five or six hours went by, yet not even a shadow was seen.
Zhao Qinglian sent several messages using the communication jade talisman, but there was still no response from the other party.
This made him frown. "What's going on? Could something have gone wrong?"
"That's impossible!"
Zhao Xingfeng shook his head repeatedly from the side. "Junior Martial Uncle Qingzhuo is an Immortal Venerable powerhouse. Who could possibly harm him? He must have been delayed by something."
The others echoed his words, and Zhao Qinglian said nothing more.
But after a while, news came back that Ye Bufan had safely returned to the inn, while Zhao Qingzhuo remained completely unheard from.
At this point, Zhao Qinglian could no longer sit still. Now that they had been eliminated from the Hundred Sects Tournament, the gambling houses had suffered continuous heavy losses, and several young Disciples were missing.
If another Immortal Venerable powerhouse was lost at this time, he truly didn't know how he would face the Patriarch.
"No, I have to go check!"
At this moment, Zhao Qinglian no longer cared about anything else. He didn't hide his identity and directly left Yuangu City openly.
Since he was just looking for someone, there was no need to conceal it.
Outside the city gate, no longer restricted by any Restriction, his powerful Divine Sense spread out like mercury flowing across the ground.
At the same time, his entire being transformed into a phantom, speeding forward.
It wasn't long before traces of a battle appeared within his Divine Sense.
"Could it be here?"
Upon discovering the clue, his speed increased again. A few breaths later, he arrived at the location where Ye Bufan had previously been ambushed.
Although the Physical Bodies of those people had been completely refined away, the air was filled with a strong bloody Qi, and traces of the surrounding battle were clearly visible.
And at this moment, two more figures sped over.
They were Grand Elder Jian Feiyang of the Four Directions Sword Sect and Grand Elder Han Fangcuo of the Han Family.
They also had the same purpose: after waiting for a long time without their people returning, they came out to search.
Upon seeing him, Han Fangcuo said, "Elder Zhao, why are you here too? What's going on?"
"My Junior Brother went out to handle some business and hasn't returned yet. I came out to see if anything happened."
All three were old foxes; after meeting, they had essentially guessed most of what had happened.
Zhao Qinglian said, "Are the two Elders also out looking for someone?"
Jian Feiyang nodded: "That's right, my Junior Brother has also suddenly disappeared, and he hasn't been seen yet."
"I guess it has something to do with this place."
Zhao Qinglian raised his hand and pointed to a pile of ruins ahead.
The three of them walked over together, wanting to search for clues and see if any of their Sect's people were there.
"There's Devilish Qi here!"
Just now, they were still far away and hadn't noticed much, but upon entering the scene, they immediately detected faint traces of Devilish Qi remaining in the air.
Jian Feiyang's expression changed drastically: "The traces here were definitely left by an Immortal Venerable powerhouse, and there's also Devilish Qi. Could it be that a master of the Demon Race has arrived here?"
Han Fangcuo's face was grim: "That's right, it should be so. According to my guess, it's at least an Immortal Venerable Early Stage, or has already reached the Middle Stage Realm." After he finished speaking, the hearts of the three sank to the bottom. No wonder their Sect's people had gone and not returned; they must have encountered this Demon Race powerhouse.
