Chapter 3935 Young City Lord

As soon as Ye Bufan and the others left, two figures appeared above the small island.

The one leading was a white-robed scholar, with an elegant demeanor, appearing like a frail bookworm, yet the Aura emanating from him was extremely powerful.

Behind him followed a black-robed old man who looked like a butler, his body hunched, his hair and beard white, but a sharp glint occasionally flashed in his eyes.

The white-robed scholar surveyed his surroundings, his expression stern.

"Zhong Bo, who do you think Underwent Tribulation here to become an Immortal Emperor, and it was even a Nine Heavens Lightning Tribulation?"

It was no wonder his expression was so solemn; an Immortal Emperor capable of Undergoing Tribulation with a Nine Heavens Lightning Tribulation, what kind of existence would he be in the future? Perhaps he would become one of the top few super existences in the entire Upper Heaven Domain.

"This old servant cannot guess either."

The old butler's body was hunched, his face covered in wrinkles, looking as if he had lived for tens of thousands of years.

Lieyuan City only had so many powerful cultivators, a limited number, and only a few could Breakthrough to Immortal Emperor.

However, in this old servant's opinion, they would at most experience a Sixfold Lightning Tribulation. If they had the Aptitude for a Ninefold Lightning Tribulation, they wouldn't have been stuck at Immortal Reverent Peak for so many years."

"That makes sense."

The white-robed scholar nodded, "It's also possible that a Genius Disciple from another large Sect happened to be Undergoing Tribulation here for training. Never mind, let's not worry about it too much.

We should go back first; important matters take precedence after all."

After speaking, their figures flickered and disappeared from their original spot, and the small island above returned to tranquility.

Ye Bufan now had abundant wealth, so he found the most high-end inn in Lieyuan City and booked a private courtyard.

Although expensive, it was worth the price. The courtyard had a Spiritual Qi Gathering Array, which not only provided ample immortal spirit Qi but also had a high-Rank barrier, making it difficult for outsiders to snoop.

But even so, Ye Bufan was not entirely at ease, so he set up three more barriers before he began to inventory his spoils of war from this trip.

Having killed so many Peak Immortal Venerable-Ranked powerhouses, he had seized over twenty Storage Rings alone.

However, after a thorough inventory, he felt a slight disappointment.

Adding up all twenty-something Storage Rings, besides some immortal spirit grass and Artifact Refining Materials, there were only a little over two million High Grade Immortal Crystals.

Min Zeshi accounted for half of that, with the others combined only having around one million.

"They really are all paupers!"

Ye Bufan cursed, shaking his head, but then he thought about it: these people were merely servants of the Ba Xian Chamber of Commerce, so their resources naturally wouldn't be too abundant.

This made him feel a hint of regret. If he had known, he would have taken down Sun Mangong; with his status as a Young Lord, he surely wouldn't have had little Immortal Crystals on him.

However, the matter was already in the past, and regret was useless.

Looking back, this operation was still very successful.

Ye Tian had Broken through his Bottleneck, and Xuan Yuan Linglong had also successfully stepped into the Immortal Emperor Rank. Now, he had two Immortal Emperors on his side, and their strength was immeasurably stronger than before.

Moreover, everything was done quietly, leaving no flaws.

Everyone rested for a few more hours, and seeing that the auction time had arrived, Ye Bufan led everyone out of the inn and headed towards the Star Plucking Tower.

As before, everyone still concealed their cultivation, including Xuan Yuan Linglong and Ye Tian. When they entered the city, they had already put on Immortal Artifacts that concealed their cultivation, making them appear to be Immortal Lord-Ranked in strength.

Star Plucking Tower, as the most powerful commercial institution in the entire Immortal Realm, was the most dazzling existence everywhere.

It wasn't difficult to find it, and soon everyone arrived at its entrance.

"Young man, why is it you?"

Just as everyone was about to enter, an angry voice came from behind them.

Ye Bufan turned around, a smile playing on his lips. It truly was a small world; he had met Sun Mangong here again.

He chuckled, "Oh, it's Young Master Sun. What a coincidence, we meet again so soon."

Sun Mangong, however, gritted his teeth, his eyes spitting fire with rage.

After he was brought back, the entire Ba Xian Chamber of Commerce mobilized, searching everywhere for news of Min Zeshi and the others, but it was all in vain; they found nothing.

This greatly infuriated Sun Aozong. Such a huge loss, even for the Ba Xian Chamber of Commerce, was a severe blow.

He feared that even if they weren't removed from the four major chambers of commerce in the future, they would become the weakest among them.

This made him scold his son severely, this good-for-nothing who had brought such a disaster upon him.

Sun Mangong was also extremely frustrated. In the past, he had always relied on his power to bully others, but this time he had hit a wall.

After being scolded, he left the Ba Xian Chamber of Commerce and came to the Star Plucking Tower. His only goal was to bring that heavenly fox girl back.

As the Young Lord of the Ba Xian Chamber of Commerce, he naturally also received an invitation and was very clear about what would be auctioned today.

In the past, he indulged in pleasure and feared death, so his cultivation was slightly weaker than Jing Buyun's. He was still stuck at Immortal Lord Peak and had not yet stepped into the Immortal Venerable Realm.

This time, he absolutely had to use the heavenly fox pearl to raise his strength, to make his father look at him with respect, and to show others that he was not a useless fop.

It was precisely for this reason that he brought all his belongings, including some of his mother's private money, totaling over twenty million High Grade Immortal Crystals.

Based on past experience, it was enough to bring the fox girl back.

He was focused on using the heavenly fox pearl to improve his strength, but he didn't expect to meet Ye Bufan as soon as he arrived at the door.

The Ba Xian Chamber of Commerce had also conducted a detailed investigation into this man. The result was that when Min Zeshi and the others disappeared, these people had already returned to Lieyuan City.

From a timing perspective, it shouldn't have been them, and from a strength perspective, it was even less likely.

Sun Mangong also lacked confidence. Although he had spoken with certainty about tracking those few people, he hadn't seen it himself and didn't have much conviction.

But no matter what, his hatred for the other party did not diminish in the slightest.

If it weren't for Ye Bufan, he wouldn't have ended up in this situation, and the Ba Xian Chamber of Commerce wouldn't have suffered such a huge loss.

However, his gritting his teeth and getting angry was useless. He didn't have the courage to make a move in Lieyuan City, and even less so at the Star Plucking Tower.

"Young man, is this a place for you? Do you have an invitation letter?

You're just some bumpkin who popped out of nowhere, you're not qualified to enter, so scram!"

Since he couldn't make a move, he could only balance things out with his words.

"You don't need to worry about that, Young Master Sun."

Ye Bufan pulled out his invitation letter and presented it to the guard. The guard verified it and immediately let them through.

The Star Plucking Tower's invitation letters were never personal; as long as they were genuine, anyone who possessed one had the right to enter.

It was precisely for this reason that Jing Buyun had given it to Ye Bufan.

Thus, under everyone's gaze, he led Ye Tian and the others into the auction hall.

"This…"

Sun Mangong didn't expect them to just walk in like that, which made him lose face and become even more enraged.

"Brother Sun, what's wrong? Who made you angry?"

Just then, a gentle and refined voice sounded in his ear, and an elegant-looking Young man in luxurious robes walked over from the side.

This man was handsome, with a kind smile on his face, and an extraordinary Aura about him.

Sun Mangong's expression immediately changed, and he quickly bowed, "Young City Lord, why are you here?" It turned out this Young man was none other than Yuwen Kehai, the son of Lieyuan City's City Lord Yuwen Gong, the Young City Lord.
