Chapter 3901 Shadow Sect Master

“Hahaha, how foolish, you still don’t know who I am.”

Su Hongye let out another arrogant laugh, then said, “Since that’s the case, I’ll let you die knowing who killed you.

Allow me to introduce myself, I am Black Luan.

Perhaps you haven't heard that name, but the Sect Leader of Dark Shadow Gate, that identity must not be unfamiliar to you, right?”

Speaking of this, she looked at Ye Bufan mockingly again, “Haven’t you been looking for Dark Shadow Gate? Have you ever thought that the Sect Leader of Dark Shadow Gate is right beside you?”

Shen Qiyun said, “So what if you are the Sect Leader of Dark Shadow Gate? We don’t seem to have any grudges with you, so is it necessary to scheme against us so painstakingly?”

“Little girl, you’re thinking too much. You people aren’t qualified to make this Sect Leader personally take action.”

Her gaze fell on Ye Bufan again, “I only want to kill this one person. As for the rest of you, you can only consider yourselves unlucky.”

Ye Bufan smiled slightly, with no trace of panic in his expression.

“I am just a nobody, yet I have to trouble Sect Leader to personally take action. Isn’t that a bit of an overreaction?”

Black Luan sighed, “There’s no other way, this Little fellow is truly too troublesome.

I must have your head, but the three times I sent people before, they all fell into your hands, which can be said to be a first for my Dark Shadow Gate.

Especially when I later sent Grand Elder Hong Nianzi, an Immortal Venerable Peak-level expert skilled in assassination, she also died by your hand.

There’s no other way, I can only come personally.”

Ye Bufan said, “Sect Leader, there’s one thing I don’t understand. Is my head really that valuable? Do you Dark Shadow Gate have to be so relentless?

Moreover, I heard before that you have a rule: if a target survives more than three assassination attempts, the mission is considered a failure and the assassination stops.

How is it that when it comes to me, you’ve repeatedly sent out a fourth and fifth time, and even your leader has personally taken action? Haven’t you broken your own rules?”

“Hahaha, how adorably foolish, still talking about rules at a time like this.”

Black Luan said, “That’s right, we Dark Shadow Gate do have that rule, but the premise is that we accept assassination commissions from others.

As for you, no one has paid us Immortal Crystals, and there is no employer, so naturally, you are not subject to this rule.”

Ye Bufan was a little surprised, “Then I don’t understand. I’m new to the Middle Heaven Region, and I have no grievances with Dark Shadow Gate.

I haven’t harmed any of your people, nor have I blocked your path to wealth, so why must you try to kill me?”

“You can’t blame others, only your misfortune. Since you’re about to die, this Sect Leader will let you die knowing why.”

Black Luan said, “Before, I went to the Lower Heaven Region and happened to encounter a Little girl undergoing Ascension, and she even had nine-star talent.

I was moved by her talent and wanted to take her under my wing to become a core pillar of my Dark Shadow Gate.

But I didn’t expect that upon bringing her back and examining her closely, this girl turned out to be the Wu Spirit Body, a rarity seen only once in ten thousand years.”

As she spoke, everyone present looked solemn, knowing that the woman was definitely talking about Lu Banxia.

Although Ye Bufan already knew most of the outcome, he still couldn't help but ask, “What did you do to her?”

“Don’t rush, listen to me slowly.”

Black Luan seemed very patient and continued, “I didn’t lie to you before; I do indeed have a Master, and she is seriously ill, but it’s not due to Devilish Qi entering her body.

For so many years, I’ve searched everywhere for doctors and medicine, but with little success. The best solution is to use the Primordial Spirit of a Wu Spirit Body to nourish her…”

Just as she said this, a monstrous Killing Intent suddenly erupted from Ye Bufan.

“You killed Lu Banxia?”

“Don’t rush, Little fellow, why are you so impatient?”

Black Luan shook her head disdainfully, not putting his Killing Intent in her eyes at all, and continued, “The Primordial Spirit of a Wu Spirit Body is a rare treasure seen only once in ten thousand years, and it cannot be used casually; that would be a waste.

To stimulate the best effect, you need to make her angry, make her sad, make her feel wronged. In short, you need to maximize her negative emotions. Only then will consuming it not be a waste.

My Master, through a soul-bewitching technique, learned that the person she cared about most was you, and at this time, you happened to arrive in the Middle Heaven Region.

So we want to kill you and bring your head before Lu Banxia. Only then will she unleash her maximum medicinal effect.”

Hearing this, Ye Bufan, on the contrary, let out a long sigh of relief. Since he was still alive, it meant Lu Banxia was not dead, and there was still a chance to rescue her.

As the two spoke, the energy of the Dark Swamp became increasingly dense, almost completely restricting everyone’s bodies. Black Luan, however, was completely unaffected, seemingly immune.

Calming his emotions, Ye Bufan asked again, “No matter what, you are an Immortal Venerable Peak-level expert, and Dark Shadow Gate is most skilled at assassination. Even transcending levels to kill is not difficult for you.

Is it necessary to make things so troublesome? Couldn’t you just kill me directly?”

“Little fellow, are you trying to make me fight you one-on-one? I advise you to give up that idea.”

Black Luan shook her head slightly, her face full of cold sneers.

“Although I am strong, I am better at using my brain.

Moreover, you, Little fellow, are truly too strange. I have managed Dark Shadow Gate for so many years and have seen countless powerful individuals.

But I have always been able to see things clearly, always planning meticulously, rarely even needing to take a second action.

Only with you do I feel completely unable to see through you. Although I have tried my best to raise my assessment of your strength every time, I still ultimately found that I underestimated you.

The previous three assassins were one thing, but even Grand Elder Hong Nianzi was destroyed by your hand. In such a situation, how could I act rashly?”

Ye Bufan said, “So you impersonated Su Hongye and tricked me into this Dark Swamp?”

“It’s not impersonation; I was called that name before joining Dark Shadow Gate.”

Black Luan said, “And initially, my plan was to assess the situation and try to eliminate you through other means as much as possible.

However, your strength again exceeded my expectations. Even the two Yao Beasts and one old Daoist skeleton from the three major ominous places couldn’t do anything to you.

The Demon Lord is a rapidly rising force in the Burial Immortal Valley recently. Originally, I wanted to use him to eliminate you, hoping for a mutual destruction so I could reap the benefits.

But I didn’t expect that fellow to be your subordinate, and all plans fell through. In desperation, I tricked you into the Dark Swamp.

To be honest, being able to make me go to such lengths to eliminate you can be considered an honor. It has never happened in the history of Dark Shadow Gate since its establishment, enough for you to smile proudly in the underworld after death.”

Ye Bufan smiled slightly, “Since you have such a high opinion of me, have you ever thought that this Dark Swamp might not be able to trap me?

As for what you said about smiling proudly in the underworld, I’d rather not. I prefer the human world.

Destroying Dark Shadow Gate and then eliminating you, wouldn’t that be even more glorious?”
