Chapter 4060: Sneak Attack

Yin Tong was the last to enter the Immortal Paradise portal. Due to the Restrictions of the bet, he was afraid of being seen by Xia Qingying.

However, for the resources inside, he couldn’t give up this opportunity, so he secretly rushed in at the very end.

After his figure disappeared, the fifty spots were full, and the portal slowly dissipated.

Seven days was neither long nor short. The people present couldn't wait here forever and slowly dispersed.

Ni Sakong gathered the Lingxiao Sect members and soon appeared at their station in Tiansheng City.

He turned to Liu Wuzhou beside him, “Is the matter settled?”

“It’s settled. I gave that jade token to Chao Kuan,” Liu Wuzhou said with hesitation. “Sect Leader, there’s one thing I don’t understand, please enlighten me.

Chao Kuan is just an ordinary Immortal Emperor Peak. Besides Alchemy, his strength is not stronger than Shi Tu and Gongshu Kan. Can he kill that Ye?

We have three Immortal Emperor Peaks who went in this time. Why not let the three of them join forces? Wouldn’t that be a greater certainty?”

“What do you know?”

Ni Sakong smiled coldly, “Although that Ye is formidable, I’ve clearly seen his strength these past few days. He hasn’t reached the Immortal Emperor Rank yet.

During the Pill King Tower, he started off slow and sluggish because he was rushing to Breakthrough his Mental Energy. Even at the end, he was only at the Immortal Emperor Early Stage.

Even his Mental Energy has just broken through, how strong do you think he can be?”

Liu Wuzhou hesitated, “But, after all, Gongshu Kan and Shi Tu both died by his hand…”

“There are many ways to kill people, not necessarily relying solely on one’s own strength.”

Ni Sakong said, “It’s true that he killed Gongshu Kan, but he might have relied on treasures, or other methods like Formations.

Moreover, this Young Master is very close to Zhuge Qingyang and Qin Jian Mountain Manor, so it’s possible that strong individuals sent by them are secretly protecting him.

But this time, having entered the Immortal Paradise, others can’t help even if they wanted to.

Furthermore, I’ve already instructed Chao Kuan in that jade token that after locking onto the Divine Sense mark I left on that Young Master, he must not attack openly. He must launch a sneak attack.

No matter what methods that Ye has, he won’t be able to withstand a sudden attack from an Immortal Emperor Peak. He’s dead for sure!”

Liu Wuzhou immediately gave a thumbs up, “Sect Leader is truly brilliant!”

Although he said that, he still had some doubts in his heart. It would be much safer for three people to act than for Chao Kuan alone.

Ni Sakong saw through his thoughts and continued, “That Young Master has now ascended to the Dan Wang throne, and he has Sword Emperor Qin Fei supporting him.

Therefore, killing him must be done carefully, and absolutely not be discovered by outsiders. If three people join forces, the target would be larger and it would be easy for others to find flaws. It’s better for one person to be more secretive.”

Liu Wuzhou’s expression was respectful, “Sect Leader’s calculations are flawless, which is a blessing for our Lingxiao Sect.”

Ye Bufan and the others entered the light gate, and when they reappeared, they were already in a valley.

The surroundings were picturesque, with lush trees, abundant Spiritual Qi, and various birds and beasts occasionally flying past.

Looking around, it stretched as far as the eye could see. Divine Sense was greatly suppressed here. Even with Ye Bufan’s Immortal Emperor Early Stage Mental Energy, he could only perceive a range of about a hundred meters.

Hua Qiqi surveyed the surroundings, then showed a surprised expression.

“I’ve been here before, Young Master Ye, I can lead the way for you.”

As a Genius of the Alchemist Guild, although she didn’t become a Twelfth-Order Celestial Alchemist before,

she had entered the top fifty in the Dan Wang Competition a hundred years ago and was fortunate enough to enter the Immortal Paradise. This was her second time here.

She didn’t expect to have been to this environment before, making it relatively familiar.

“Don’t move yet.”

Ye Bufan, however, was not in a hurry to leave with her. Instead, he sat down cross-legged on the spot and slowly closed his eyes.

“This…”

Hua Qiqi and Xia Qingying were stunned. They didn’t understand what Ye Bufan was doing, but they knew there must be a reason.

The two of them stopped talking and stood guard on either side.

When Ye Bufan interacted with Ni Sakong, he knew that the other party was an old fox and certainly wouldn’t approach him for no reason.

Especially when he patted his shoulder twice, it was very likely that he had left some kind of mark on him.

If someone had left a mark on him and he didn’t know, it would undoubtedly be an extremely passive situation.

So, upon entering the Immortal Paradise, his first priority was to search his body.

He searched from head to toe but found nothing.

Could it be that he was overthinking? That’s impossible.

Now that he was completely at odds with the Lingxiao Sect, it was impossible for Ni Sakong to be so affectionate towards him for no reason.

No, he must be careful. The other party was a Five-Rank Saint Emperor, and it was possible he had left a mark that he hadn’t detected.

Thinking of this, he once again used his Divine Sense to search his body, bit by bit, inch by inch, especially near his shoulder.

Finally, when he checked the scapula area for the second time, he detected a faint trace of Divine Sense mark.

That old fox indeed had ill intentions, and his technique was extremely clever. If he hadn’t been precise and careful enough, he really wouldn’t have found it.

Ye Bufan secretly rejoiced. With a thought, he was about to use Yuangu Xuanhuang Fire to erase the Divine Sense mark, but after thinking about it, he stopped.

If this were outside, and Ni Sakong were to act against him following the mark, there would be nothing to say. The best way would be to erase the mark and run as far as possible.

But the situation was different now. This was the Immortal Paradise, and the few people sent in by the Lingxiao Sect at most had Immortal Emperor Peak cultivation.

And now that he had just broken through, he could contend with ordinary Immortal Emperor Peaks with the Chaotic Immortal Art.

In this situation, there was nothing to fear. Since the other party wanted to scheme against him, they had to pay the price.

Thinking of this, he had basically guessed the other party’s intention and decided to turn their scheme against them, collecting some interest from the Lingxiao Sect.

Ye Bufan opened his eyes, intending to remove the Divine Sense mark on his scapula.

However, this was a Five-Rank Saint Emperor’s technique, making it difficult to handle. A slight mistake could damage the mark.

Fortunately, his Mental Energy had now broken through to the Immortal Emperor Early Stage, coupled with his Divine Sense Cultivation Technique, he condensed dozens of Divine Sense Blades, like an open fishing net, slowly removing that bit of Divine Sense mark.

Then he summoned a Dao Body and attached it to his scapula.

“Young Master Ye, what are you doing?”

Hua Qiqi and the other person looked a bit bewildered.

“Fishing. Let’s see if I can catch a big fish.”

A playful smile curved Ye Bufan’s lips. Then he gave an instruction, and the Dao Body shot off into the distance, quickly sitting down cross-legged on a mountaintop.

“You two, follow me.”

Ye Bufan led Hua Qiqi and Xia Qingying to a very secluded spot at the foot of the mountain, then set up several Restrictions in a row to completely isolate their aura, and slowly waited there.

Hua Qiqi asked doubtfully, “Young Master Ye, what are you doing? Where is the fish you mentioned?”

“Don’t talk, the fish is already here.”

Ye Bufan shushed the two of them, then raised his hand and pointed into the distance. A figure in white appeared in their line of sight.
