Chapter 4039: Chaos Aura

After seeing the Man, Hua Qiqi’s expression changed. “Qu Heng, why are you waiting for me? Are we very familiar?”

After speaking, she nervously glanced at Ye Bufan beside her, seemingly afraid that he might misunderstand something.

The white-robed Man named Qu Heng’s Face flashed with an awkward expression. “Qi Qi Fairy, how can you reject someone so far away? We are friends after all.”

“I think you’ve misunderstood. At most, we are familiar with each other, not friends.”

Hua Qiqi gave the other party no Face at all. After speaking, she pulled Ye Bufan and continued to walk towards the registration desk.

Qu Heng came from Xingyao Sect, one of the three Immortal Pill Masters nurtured by the Sect, and also the son of the Eighth Elder.

He was originally a very ambitious person and good at scheming.

After seeing Hua Qiqi at the last Dan Wang Competition, he had an idea in his heart: if he could marry this Genius of the Alchemist Guild, he would surely benefit immensely within the Sect in the future.

Even his father could advance further.

If Hua Qiqi could inherit the position of Guild Master, then there was no need to mention it; his entire Sect would flourish.

It was precisely because of this that he had always tried to find opportunities to get close, but unfortunately, Hua Qiqi had no interest in him whatsoever.

He had gone to the Alchemist Guild several times before but found no one.

This time, for the Dan Wang Competition, he felt his chance had come, so he had been waiting here.

He did wait for her, but Hua Qiqi gave him no Face at all, and was even infinitely colder than before.

Then he saw Ye Bufan next to her, and his gaze instantly became extremely cold.

Although Hua Qiqi hadn't had much affection for him before, she had always maintained courtesy, unlike today when she directly trampled his Face underfoot.

“It must be because of this Man.”

Seeing Hua Qiqi holding Ye Bufan’s arm, an uncontrollable killing intent rose in his heart.

However, this was Tiansheng City, the registration venue for the Dan Wang Competition.

He did not speak, nor did he act. He snorted coldly and retreated to the side.

Ye Bufan had seen too many such scenes and did not take such people seriously. As long as the other party did not bother him, he was too lazy to pay attention.

The three of them squeezed through the crowd and arrived at the registration location.

Hua Qiqi participated on behalf of the Alchemist Guild and was the first to register. She had already stepped into the Ranks of Twelfth-Order Celestial Alchemist and presented the corresponding badge.

Countless Immortals gathered around to watch the excitement. When they saw the badge covered with twelve shining golden stars, a burst of exclamations immediately erupted.

A Twelfth-Order Celestial Alchemist, no matter where they went, was a supreme existence, and any Sect would treat them with utmost respect.

Xia Qingying was the second to register, presenting an Eleventh-Order Celestial Alchemist badge.

Although she couldn't compare to Hua Qiqi, it also caused a burst of exclamations, as an Eleventh-Order Celestial Alchemist was also extremely rare.

Ye Bufan was third in line. After reporting his name and relevant information, he took out the Eighth-Order Immortal Pill Master badge.

Seeing only eight stars on the badge, a burst of boos immediately sounded from around.

Although the minimum requirement for registration for the Dan Wang Competition was an Eighth-Order Immortal Pill Master, very few people of this Rank came to compete.

Compared to Eleventh-Order and Twelfth-Order Immortal Pill Masters, this Rank was too low; participating would not yield any results and would only lead to self-humiliation in the end.

Xia Qingying was a bit surprised. She hadn’t expected that Ye Bufan, with such high Alchemy attainments, would only have an Alchemist badge of this Rank.

And just then, a harsh mocking voice sounded in his ear.

“Hahaha… Bao Dan Sect is truly in decline now, actually sending out such a piece of trash to compete.

An Eighth-Order Immortal Pill Master, it’s truly laughable. Someone of this Rank isn’t even worthy of carrying my shoes.”

Ye Bufan finished registering and received his competition token. He looked up.

He saw a thin young man standing beside him, his mean Face full of mockery.

Xia Qingying immediately became furious. “Yin Tong, get lost!

What Rank our Bao Dan Sect registers has nothing to do with you, and it’s not your place to be so critical.”

“Why does it have nothing to do with me? Don’t forget our last bet.”

Yin Tong said, “After the last Dan Wang Competition, we made a bet. If your Bao Dan Sect can’t surpass our Hundred Herbs Sect this time, then you will be my woman.”

“I…”

Hearing the other party’s words, Xia Qingying’s Face instantly became extremely ugly.

This Yin Tong came from Hundred Herbs Sect. During the last Dan Wang Competition, he coveted her beauty and pestered her many times.

At that time, she was young and impetuous, and in extreme anger, the two of them made a bet.

“One hundred years later, at the next Dan Wang Competition, if Bao Dan Sect defeats Hundred Herbs Sect, Yin Tong will kneel and apologize, and never appear before Xia Qingying again.

Conversely, if Hundred Herbs Sect defeats Bao Dan Sect, then Xia Qingying will become the other party’s Dao Companion.”

At that time, both of them were Eleventh-Order Immortal Pill Masters, and Xia Qingying was full of confidence, believing that she would definitely be able to step into the Twelfth-Order in the next competition. In a fit of anger, she made this bet.

After the bet, Yin Tong disappeared and had not appeared before her for many years, so much so that Xia Qingying had even forgotten about this bet.

Now that the other party brought it up, she remembered that agreement, and her heart suddenly tightened.

Although she had worked hard enough, she was still confined to the Eleventh-Order Immortal Pill Master Realm and was unable to Breakthrough even now.

If she ranked behind the other party this time, the consequences would be unimaginable.

“What, are you scared?”

Seeing her reaction, Yin Tong burst into a triumphant laugh. “Xia Qingying, to get you, for this past hundred years, I have done nothing but Cultivate and Alchemy, day and night, without rest.

Now I am a Twelfth-Order Immortal Pill Master. See what you have to say this time!”

“Talk when you win!”

Xia Qingying’s tone seemed strong, but she was actually very unsure, and after speaking, her gaze turned to Ye Bufan.

She definitely couldn't defeat the other party on her own; she could only place all her hopes on the Man in front of her.

“Hahaha, why are you looking at him? You wouldn’t be hoping this good-for-nothing can revive Bao Dan Sect, would you?”

Yin Tong burst into another triumphant laugh. He didn't even take an Eleventh-Order Immortal Pill Master like Xia Qingying seriously, let alone a good-for-nothing who was only an Eighth-Order Immortal Pill Master.

In his mind, this Man was just a newly recruited young Disciple of Bao Dan Sect, and his participation in the competition here was more of a formality to gain some experience.

Ye Bufan did not speak, feeling a little helpless in his heart. Since his Mental Energy could not Breakthrough to the Immortal Emperor Realm, he ultimately could not defeat a Twelfth-Order Immortal Pill Master.

And just then, a figure squeezed in hurriedly from outside the crowd.

Today was the last day for registration, and it would be completely over in less than an hour.

It was normal for some people who arrived at the last minute to be anxious, and no one paid much attention.

This was a medium-built Middle-aged Man who looked unremarkable, the typical kind who wouldn't be noticed if thrown into a crowd.

Ye Bufan hadn't paid attention either, but just as the Man squeezed past him, his heart suddenly jolted, and his gaze instantly became sharp.

Chaos Aura, at that very moment, he actually sensed Chaos Aura!
