Chapter 3934 President Sun Ao Zong

After the Lightning Tribulation, Xuan Yuan Linglong stabilized her cultivation and officially stepped into the ranks of Immortal Emperor.

"Let's go!"

With such a huge commotion caused by the Immortal Emperor Lightning Tribulation, Ye Bufan knew that other powerful cultivators would arrive soon, so he quickly led everyone back onto the teleportation array.

This was the advantage of having a Clone; while he did what he needed to do here, his Dao Body had already perfectly set up the teleportation array there.

When everyone reappeared, they were already in a hidden small valley, less than a hundred miles from Lieyuan City.

Ye Bufan erased the traces of the teleportation array again, then led everyone directly into the city.

The moment they stepped through the city gates, everything outside was temporarily settled. Even if someone traced it back to him, it would be days later.

He found an inn and settled down, waiting for the auction that would take place in a few hours.

On the other side, Sun Mangong stood on the meteorite, his eyes wide open. He wanted to see what was happening inside the Formation, but it was all in vain.

The Heaven and Earth Ten Absolutes Formation could not even be penetrated by an Immortal Emperor's Divine Sense, let alone by him, who was only at Immortal Lord Peak.

He stared with wide eyes for a long time but saw nothing. Inside, it was completely silent, as if nothing had happened.

"Damn it, these bastards have been in there for so long, why haven't they captured that Ye yet?

Are they all useless? What are they good for?!"

Sun Mangong was anxious and furious, cursing non-stop in his heart, but he didn't have the courage to go in.

Just thinking about it, even Min Zeshi, a half-step Immortal Emperor, had vanished without a trace after entering, along with so many Immortal Venerable Peak cultivators.

What could he, an Immortal Lord, do by going in? It would probably be no different from seeking death.

Not only did he not dare to move forward, he even retreated a bit further, clutching the life-saving Talisman in his hand.

Time passed minute by minute. Other than him standing there anxiously, there was not a single person, as if nothing had happened.

Now Sun Mangong was in a dilemma. He didn't have the courage to go in and look for them, but he also didn't dare to leave.

He had brought Min Zeshi and more than twenty Immortal Venerable cultivators this time, which almost depleted half of the Ba Xian Chamber of Commerce's assets.

With so many powerful cultivators lost, neither alive nor dead, how could he explain it to his Father when he returned?

Because of this, he dared not advance nor retreat, pacing anxiously like an ant on a hot pan.

"What are you doing running out here?"

Just then, a majestic voice sounded in his ear, and then a middle-aged man in a long robe appeared before him.

This man was not tall, but standing there, he exuded immense power. It was Sun Aozong, the president of the Ba Xian Chamber of Commerce.

He had returned to Lieyuan City and found his home empty, his son gone, and even Min Zeshi and the others missing.

He asked the people who stayed behind, and they said the young master had gone out with Min Zeshi and the others, but they didn't know what for.

This made him feel uneasy, so he left the city and found this place.

"Father…"

Sun Mangong's emotions were extremely complex: joy, nervousness, and grievance. For a moment, he didn't know what to say.

Sun Aozong became increasingly aware that something was wrong. He frowned: "What exactly is going on? Why are you here, and where are Min Zeshi and the others?"

"I…"

Sun Mangong stammered for a long time. Although he was scared, he finally knew he couldn't hide it and could only recount the entire incident with Ye Bufan from beginning to end.

Finally, he said: "That Formation is very strange. The grand steward took people in, but there's no sign of them even now. I don't know if they're dead or alive."

"There's such a thing!"

Sun Aozong was startled. This Formation was too clever. If his son hadn't pointed it out publicly, he wouldn't have even sensed any Formation fluctuations there.

His Divine Sense swept over it but was repelled by a surge of energy, unable to see what was happening inside.

"What a brilliant Formation, at least a level eleven Peak."

"Let's go in and take a look."

As the saying goes, 'boldness comes from skill.' Although he sensed the power of the Formation, he didn't take this kind of Divine Sense-blocking Formation too seriously. He led Sun Mangong inside.

According to his thinking, even if there were other dangers after entering this layer of the Formation, he could escape with his own strength.

In this Hunter's Fate Starfield, an Immortal Emperor was absolutely at the top tier of existence.

Although Sun Mangong was still a bit nervous, he dared not refuse his Father's command. He followed closely, terrified, especially since so many people before them had entered and their fates were unknown.

The two of them entered the Heaven and Earth Ten Absolutes Formation. Sun Aozong's body was tense, his vigilance heightened to the extreme, ready to strike at the slightest sign of trouble.

But when they got inside, it was empty. They saw nothing, not even a ghost's shadow.

"Where are the people? Why is there no one?"

Sun Aozong's Divine Sense swept out like mercury, instantly scanning the entire Formation and even the entire meteorite thoroughly, but he found not a single person.

He turned to his son: "Are you sure that Ye was here? Are you sure Min Zeshi and the others all entered here?"

"I…"

Sun Mangong was utterly bewildered. He had been overthinking things outside, making all sorts of assumptions, but he had never imagined the current situation.

How could Ye Bufan and his more than twenty subordinates, a total of over thirty people, just disappear into thin air?

And he had been watching closely from outside; no one had appeared at all.

He swallowed with difficulty: "Father, the grand steward and the others entered here, and it's impossible for them to have left. I've been watching from outside the whole time."

"That's strange!"

Sun Aozong was full of doubts. He had looked inside and outside the Formation countless times, and even searched the entire meteorite again, but still found no one.

Sun Mangong followed closely, asking nervously: "Father, what do you think is going on? Did we encounter ghosts? Where did everyone go?"

"Useless! This is all your doing!"

Sun Aozong was furious at the moment. Losing over twenty Immortal Venerable Peak cultivators at once was something even the Ba Xian Chamber of Commerce could not bear.

But getting angry now was useless. He took a deep breath, suppressing his anger.

"Someone must have set a trap in this Formation. All of you fools have been tricked by them."

"This…"

Sun Mangong asked: "Who could it be? Is it that Ye?"

"It's not certain yet. That kid definitely doesn't have this ability. Perhaps someone from his sect made a move, or perhaps it's one of our enemies."

Sun Aozong's expression was extremely grim. It was no exaggeration to say that this sudden incident had severely crippled the Ba Xian Chamber of Commerce.

"Are you sure Ye Bufan was here before?"

"I… I'm not entirely sure. I only heard it from my subordinates."

Sun Mangong indeed couldn't be sure. The few people who were responsible for tracking them had also disappeared, so he had no confidence left.

"The situation is very unusual. We'll investigate it thoroughly before we do anything else. Don't act rashly before then."

Sun Aozong had managed the Ba Xian Chamber of Commerce for so many years and had committed many heinous acts, so he definitely had no shortage of opponents and enemies.

Therefore, he wasn't sure what had happened now. He grabbed Sun Mangong and returned to Lieyuan City; everything needed to be re-investigated.
