Chapter 3948 Jing Buyun is captured

“Tiansheng Sect!”

Ye Bufan noted the name, then asked, “There are Five Great Sects in Supreme Saint Heaven. Which ones are they?”

Knowing he came from the Middle Heaven Region, Fox Si Niang gave a very detailed introduction.

“The main gathering place for the Human Race is Supreme Saint Heaven, and Supreme Saint Heaven is controlled by the Five Great Sects.

They are the Tiansheng Sect, Illusionary Sword Immortal Palace, Xingyao Sect, Lingxiao Sect, and Qin Jian Mountain Manor.

Besides the Five Great Sects, there are also hundreds of large and small Sects, but their strength is much weaker.”

Ye Bufan nodded, then asked, “How powerful are the Five Great Sects?”

Fox Si Niang said, “It’s hard to say exactly how powerful they are, but to become one of the Five Great Sects, there must be a Saint Emperor present.”

“Saint Emperor? What does that mean? Is it a Rank above Immortal Emperor?”

Fox Si Niang said, “I can’t quite explain it either. In short, even at the Immortal Emperor Peak, there’s a distinction in strength, and a Saint Emperor is the strongest among them.

It’s hard to explain in detail. Firstly, we are the Yao Race, and secondly, our strength isn't enough, so we don't know much about that Rank.”

“I see.”

After this conversation, Ye Bufan gained a deeper understanding of Immortal strength.

His previous understanding of the Immortal Realm’s Rank division was entirely from Liuguang Sword Sect’s ancient texts. Now it seemed the records were not particularly complete.

However, it was normal to think about it. The highest strength of Immortals in the Lower Heaven Region only reached the Immortal King Rank. They didn’t care whether there was a Saint Emperor above that.

Suddenly, his heart stirred, and he asked, “Which Sect does Xuanji Emperor belong to?”

“Xuanji Emperor?”

Fox Si Niang was stunned for a moment. “Xuanji Emperor is one of the Ancient Saint Emperors, from the Xingyao Sect.

However, legend says he already perished and there has been no news for many years.”

Ye Bufan asked again, “What about Yuan Yao Fairy? What Rank is she?”

“Well,

Before the Ancient Great War, there were Five Great Saint Emperors in the Immortal Realm who were highly renowned: Yuan Yao Fairy, Xuanji Emperor, Dao Slaying Emperor, Supreme Emperor, and Ethereal Emperor.

They were all the strongest in this space before, but after the war, they all disappeared without a trace.”

Ye Bufan nodded slightly, and Gong Qingxuan’s graceful figure reappeared in his mind.

Yuan Yao Fairy, as long as there’s a glimmer of hope, he must awaken her.

“What about Devouring Heaven Demon Emperor? What kind of existence is he?” Fox Si Niang was a little surprised, not understanding why he asked so many questions about Ancient powerhouses, but she still answered earnestly.

“Devouring Heaven Demon Emperor was a Devil Emperor from the Dark Sky Domain in ancient times. It is said that his strength was also extremely powerful, and his actions were extremely cruel.

But these are just legends. After the Ancient Great War, he also disappeared from everyone’s sight.”

Ye Bufan asked a few more questions, then bid farewell and returned to Ye Tian and the others.

Xuan Yuan Linglong asked, “Ye Dage, what should we do now? Go to Supreme Saint Heaven?”

“We will go to Supreme Saint Heaven, but for now, we need to deal with Lieyuan City.”

A cold glint flashed in Ye Bufan’s eyes. Although he had dealt with Zhong Bo before, Yuwen Kehai had escaped.

The other party knew about the chaotic spiritual treasure and would certainly not give up. The key was whether the hidden City Lord had seen his Demon Refining Bottle? It was hard to say.

So, before he left, he had to deal with this father and son, and not let the news spread, otherwise he would have countless troubles.

After he stated his objective, Shen Qiyun thought for a moment and said, “Senior Brother, do you think they might have already spread the news?”

Ye Bufan smiled slightly, “If you were Yuwen Gong, what would you do?”

“I…”

Shen Qiyun pondered for a moment, “Although you shot down that Old Man, you relied on the chaotic spiritual treasure, and your own strength isn’t that strong.

Ye Tian and Xuan Yuan Linglong are also the same, only Immortal Emperor Early Stage, while I am Immortal Emperor middle stage. In terms of strength, we have an absolute advantage.

As long as the strategy is appropriate, not only can we kill you, but we can also take the chaotic spiritual treasure for ourselves. In this situation, we naturally wouldn’t spread the news…”

Analyzing this, her eyes lit up. “Senior Brother means that not many people know about the chaotic spiritual treasure yet?”

Ye Bufan nodded, “It should be limited to Yuwen Gong and his son. As long as we deal with them, there won will be no trouble.”

Situ Dianmo said, “Should we go to Lieyuan City now?”

“We must go. We’ll see if there’s a suitable opportunity to act then.”

Ye Bufan made a decision. He didn’t bring too many people, only Ye Tian and Xuan Yuan Linglong.

After all, in battles of this Rank, if one’s cultivation was too low, they wouldn’t be able to help, and sometimes might even become a hindrance.

The three left the Dragon King Palace. As soon as they returned to their previous location, a shouting sound reached their ears.

“Ye, Jing Buyun has been captured by the City Lord. If you don’t hurry over within three days, you will surely die.”

Ye Bufan’s Divine Sense swept over. The source of the voice was a middle-aged guard in armor. His strength wasn’t strong, only Immortal King.

He stood there continuously shouting, using his cultivation to send his voice into every corner.

And it wasn’t just him. Within Ye Bufan’s Divine Sense range, there were dozens of Immortal King-level guards shouting continuously.

The content was exactly the same, all announcing that Jing Buyun had been captured.

Ye Bufan frowned. It was clear that the other party couldn’t find his whereabouts, so they captured Jing Buyun as a hostage to threaten him.

If it were anyone else, this method would certainly not work. After all, the two had only recently met, and even if there was some friendship, it was impossible to exchange lives.

But he was a person who valued loyalty very much. No matter what, Jing Buyun suffered this undeserved calamity because of him, so he couldn’t just stand by.

A hint of Killing Intent flashed in Ye Tian’s eyes, “Big Brother, should I get rid of these annoying guys?”

“No need.”

Ye Bufan waved his hand. The guards sent by the other party were all Immortal King cultivation, completely dispensable. Killing them or not would not have any impact on Lieyuan City.

】

He calculated that he had stayed in the Dragon King Palace for almost two days. The other party gave a three-day deadline, and it would take about half a day to return.

It seemed he needed to hurry. He couldn’t let Jing Buyun suffer any misfortune.

“Let’s go.”

Ye Bufan and the other two didn’t bother with the shouting guards. They transformed into streaks of light and disappeared from the spot, heading towards Lieyuan City.

At the gate of Lieyuan City, hundreds of thousands of people were gathered at this moment, all looking up at the two people hanging on the city gate.

On the left was a Middle-aged Man with a full beard and an imposing, angry demeanor.

However, at this moment, blood stained the corner of his mouth, his face was pale, and his aura was weak, clearly indicating serious injuries.

The reason he attracted so much attention was because this person was Jing Liankong, the President of Cang Hai Chamber of Commerce.

Next to him was a Young man with an angry face, who was none other than Jing Buyun.

And on the city wall, a group of people stood. Leading them was the City Lord Yuwen Gong, dressed as a middle-aged scholar, with Yuwen Kehai standing beside him.

In addition, there were two other middle-aged men with powerful auras, who were also Immortal Emperor-level powerhouses.

They were Lan Yuqing, the President of Lan Tian Chamber of Commerce, and Sun Aozong, the President of Ba Xian Chamber of Commerce. Behind them were Lan Qi’er and Sun Mangong, respectively.
