Chapter 4288: Weird Woman

Ye Bufan stared at the figure in the Void Realm, completely stunned.

More accurately, it was a person, but their appearance was indiscernible; from their physique, it was a woman.

However, her entire body was covered in scars, with hardly any intact skin, and her face was pockmarked, as if gnawed by countless venomous insects.

At this moment, suspended in mid-air, her limbs were bound by long chains formed from Evil Qi, with one around her neck and two around her waist, a total of seven Evil Qi chains holding her firmly in place.

Ye Bufan never expected that such a high-Rank Formation would be controlling a woman.

Even with his appearance, the person in mid-air remained motionless, seemingly dead.

But he knew she wasn't dead; although her body was very weak, she was still alive.

He observed the surroundings; the entire space was spherical, and under the operation of the Formation, seven extremely powerful Evil Qi chains were generated, hence its name, the Seven Evil God Confinement Formation.

Behind each chain, a chaos pearl spun continuously, providing energy for the Formation.

The higher the Rank of the Formation, the greater the consumption; a Ninth Rank Peak Formation naturally consumed a lot, and ordinary chaotic sacred crystals simply couldn't sustain its operation.

How strange, who exactly is this woman? To be locked here by such a Formation, could she be an enemy of the Soul Chasing Sword Sect?

If she were just an ordinary enemy, wouldn't it be simpler to kill her directly? Why go to such great lengths and expend so many resources to trap her here?

From the aura at the scene, this Formation was not temporarily built; it had been here for at least hundreds of thousands of years, perhaps even a million years.

"Forget it, I won't bother with that much; let's see if there's a way out."

Ye Bufan didn't have such strong curiosity, nor was he a saint; he had no intention of saving this woman.

He released his Divine Sense, hoping to find a way out of this Immortal Cave, but then his expression changed drastically.

He never expected that when his Divine Sense passed over the woman, he would sense a trace of Chaos Qi.

This was not from a chaotic sacred crystal, nor from external objects like chaos pearls, but emitted from within her body.

As a Cultivator of the Chaotic Holy Scripture, he was too sensitive to this aura; it came from a Chaos Cultivation Technique.

For such a long time, from Earth to Kunlun Continent, then to the Immortal Realm, and finally to the Chaotic Saint Realm, he had encountered many powerful individuals, but this was absolutely the first time he had met someone Cultivating a Chaos Cultivation Technique.

"Who exactly is this woman? How can she Cultivate a Chaos Cultivation Technique? What connection does she have with me?"

Countless questions popped into his mind, and just then, a fluctuation came from outside the Formation.

"Not good, someone is coming in."

Ye Bufan's heart jolted; since this Seven Evil God Confinement Formation was on the Soul Chasing Sword Sect's territory, they couldn't possibly have no way to enter.

Thinking of this, he didn't bother to think further, reaching out and grabbing the seven chaos pearls supporting the Formation's operation, all of them falling into his hands.

Deprived of energy supply, the Formation was broken, and the seven Evil Qi chains that had bound the woman instantly vanished.

With the Foundation of the Formation broken, the people outside would immediately come in.

Ye Bufan's movements were extremely fast; he grabbed the woman and, along with the chaos pearls, sent her into the Dragon King Palace.

He swung the Space Blade in his hand, cutting a spatial rift about ten feet long, and flashed into it.

Outside the Formation, a tall Middle-aged Man appeared before everyone, exuding immense power; it was Dong Fangjian, the Sect Master of the Soul Chasing Sword Sect.

"All of you, withdraw outside the Immortal Cave entrance; no one is allowed to enter without my command."

Dong Fangjian waved his hand, sending everyone else out of the underground passage, leaving only Grand Elder Jin Wuming.

"What exactly happened?"

"It's like this…"

Jin Wuming recounted the events again, "I was still a step late, allowing that boy to escape into the Formation."

After listening to him, Dong Fangjian pondered for a moment: "According to your speculation, what is this person's background?"

Jin Wuming said, "It's really hard to say. Based on his previous actions, he should be coveting our chaos pearls here."

"Is it really that simple?"

Dong Fangjian shook his head, "This Ninth Rank Peak Grand Formation, even back then, involved hiring a Peak Formation Great Master and expending countless resources to set it up.

According to the Formation diagrams and steps left behind, only I can enter and exit freely. Who is that person, and how did he enter the Formation so quickly?"

"This…"

Jin Wuming said, "Your subordinate also can't say for sure. Normally, there are two possibilities: first, this person is extremely familiar with the Seven Evil God Confinement Formation.

Second, his Formation attainments are extremely high, allowing him to break the Formation in a very short time."

Dong Fangjian shook his head: "A Ninth Rank Peak Formation, who could break it instantly? Perhaps only the First Formation Genius of that year, Immortal Saint Ancestor, could do it."

Jin Wuming said, "That boy is in the Formation. Sect Leader, once you capture him, everything will be known.

The longer we wait, the more complications there will be; don't let him escape."

"He won't escape."

Dong Fangjian was full of confidence, "This is the only exit; he can only leave through here, otherwise, it's impossible for him to get away.

He's just a turtle in a jar; I'll go and catch him now."

As he spoke, he stepped into the Formation, but just two steps in, the Seven Evil God Confinement Formation suddenly fluctuated, then slowly began to dissipate.

"This… how is this possible?"

At this, Dong Fangjian and Jin Wuming both changed drastically; it was known that this Formation had been here for a million years, and they regularly replenished the chaos pearls, always keeping it extremely stable.

Now that the Formation suddenly dissipated, there was only one possibility: the Grand Formation had been broken.

Realizing this outcome, Dong Fangjian's powerful Domain instantly erupted, completely enveloping the area of the Grand Formation in front of him.

According to his thoughts, even if the Formation was broken, he absolutely couldn't let the other party escape, but until the Seven Evil God Confinement Formation completely dissipated, they didn't see a single person.

"Damn it, where is he?!"

Without the Formation's obstruction, Jin Wuming also followed in, looking around but finding no trace of Ye Bufan.

The crucial point was that this was a dead end; he couldn't understand how the other party had escaped.

"Spatial fluctuation! This boy actually has a chaotic spiritual treasure that can break open space!"

The Sect Master was indeed the Sect Master; Dong Fangjian immediately sensed something was wrong; Ye Bufan had just left, and the residual spatial energy had not completely dissipated.

Most importantly, he had entered the Formation before and knew what kind of existence was trapped there, and he also knew his mission.

Now that the person had also disappeared, his face became extremely grim.

Jin Wuming also realized something was wrong and said nervously, "Sect Leader, did he rescue that person?"

Dong Fangjian's expression was gloomy: "Taking away seven chaos pearls, breaking the Formation, and then using a chaotic spiritual treasure to break open space, do I even need to say it? He must have taken the person away."

After he finished speaking, Jin Wuming's face turned pale: "It's over, such a big thing has happened! It seems we need to report to the higher-ups quickly."
