Chapter 2289: Money or Life?

ed back with a spring in his step after leaving the Ju Bao Pavilion, feeling very happy.No sooner had she walked a short distance than she vaguely sensed something was amiss behind her, discovering th...I have to say, the old man is truly cunning. He hit Ye Bufan's weak spot right away.

No matter what, you cannot destroy the only passage to the mortal realm, or else how will you ever return

Although he guessed that there might be some exaggeration in what Xuanyuan Xun said, the seal might not be so easy to destroy.

This channel is simply too important to him for there to be even a sliver of risk.

Though he had already made up his mind, Ye Bufan's expression remained calm.

"Well then, how would you like to proceed"

Hearing him say this, Xuan Yuan Xun became even more pleased: "It's very simple, as I just said, both sides take a step back, and that's the end of it."

Ye Bufan gave him a cold glance: "Do you think a seal could exchange the lives of thousands of people in your Wujizong for such a small price"

Xuan Yuan Xun frowned slightly. He originally thought he had this young man in the palm of his hand, but now it seems like things are not so simple.

Soon, a brilliant smile returned to his face: "Young brother, let's talk things over. The most important thing about negotiation is the word 'talk'. Just say what you want."

All the disciples of the Wujizong were puzzled, wondering why the Supreme Elder was so servile to this young man.

But after the precedent set by Elder Seven, no one dared to speak up again.

Ye Bufan said, "If you want me to let the Wujizong go, there are two conditions: first, take me to find that seal, and second, hand over all your cultivation resources."

When he said this, the expressions of everyone present changed drastically.

Finding the seal was easy, but to give up all cultivation resources at once is a bit too much.

Xuanyuan Xun's smile also disappeared: "Little brother, you're being a bit too much, aren't you"

Although my Wujizong has grievances with the mundane world, you have also killed many of my disciples just now.

Even the Grand Elder has passed away, and they still want us to pay compensation. We cannot accept this condition.

He originally thought this condition could be negotiated, but Ye Bufan's expression was firm, and he clearly uttered four words, "Money or life"

"I..."

Feeling the other's aggressive pressure, Xuan Yuan Xun blushed.

As the Supreme Elder of the Eight Star Sect, he had always been an all-powerful being. When had he ever been treated with such disrespect

"Ye Bufan, you're going too far."

"If you really push me, my Wujizong will go all out, resulting in a do-or-die situation. By then, breaking the seal would be irreversible."

This guy is cunning and knows what his biggest bargaining chip is.

Yè Búfán glanced at him: "Let's not even talk about destroying the seal, which wouldn't benefit you in any way. I doubt you even have the ability."

Moreover, even if you have the ability, what then If you truly destroy the seal, I will not return and will remain in Kunlun fairyland instead.

"From now on, this Wujizong will be my base of operations. I believe that even here, with my current strength, I can thrive."

"This..."

Xuan Yuan Xun was momentarily speechless, realizing that the other party's greatest trump card was their strength.

To put it mildly, with the power this young man possesses, establishing an eight-star sect would be more than enough.

If one looks at the long term, it's not impossible to build a nine-star sect, after all, he is only in his twenties.

In that case, whether or not to go back really doesn't matter.

Seeing the dwindling amount of chips in his hand, he could only helplessly say, "Alright, I agree to your terms, but I hope, brother, that you will keep your word."

Seeing that the Supreme Elder had actually agreed, the disciples of the Wujizong present were instantly in an uproar.

That is the sect's cultivation resources. Once given away, it would be like losing one's foundation for standing.

"Shut up all of you!"

Xuan Yuan Xun let out a furious roar, and the crowd fell silent instantly.

Ye Bufan nodded: "Don't worry, I always keep my word. Since I promised to let you go, I won't go back on it."

Okay!

Xuan Yuan Xun responded with a nod, then turned to Jiao Da: "Go and bring all the sect's resources here."

"This...Elder..."

Jiao Da hesitated, really handing over all the resources of the sect Then Wujizong would be finished.

Xuan Yuan Xun's face darkened: "Cut the crap, do what I said!"

"Yes..."

Although Jiao Da was reluctant, he dared not disobey the order of the Supreme Elder, so he turned and left.

For large sects like theirs, the cultivation resources within the sect are generally not carried around. Otherwise, if anyone were to fall, it would lead to devastating consequences.

Not long after, Jiao Da returned with a storage ring in his hand.

Xuanyuan Xun extended a hand, drawing the ring into his palm before passing it to Ye Bufan.

"Brother, all the resources of our Wuji Sect are here."

Ye Bufan reached out and took the ring. Although he knew the other party must have something hidden, when his divine sense swept over it, he was still taken aback.

As expected of the Eight Star Sects from Tianqiong Prefecture, there are over four to five million high-grade spirit stones in this ring alone. There are also countless rare ores and medicinal herbs.

"Yes!"

He put the ring away. "Take us to where the seal is," he said.

"Please follow me."

Xuan Yuan Xun finished speaking, then turned around and led the way. Besides Jiao Da and a few unharmed core elders, everyone else dispersed.

The crowd journeyed onward, crossing Wuji Mountain and arriving at a canyon on the back side.

There are eight peaks here, surrounding a valley.

The valley was extremely flat, covering an area of several thousand square units.

Xuan Yuan Xun stood at the foot of Wujixing Mountain, "Little brother, this is where the seal is located."

Everyone looked around, but there was nothing in front of them. It was an empty and desolate place.

Nalan Yugā said dissatisfiedly, "Old man, are you teasing us"

Ye Bufan's expression moved, "Is this a hidden formation"

"You're right, you have a sharp eye. This is a hidden formation. It's impossible to find without the guidance of my Wuji Sect."

Xuanyuan Xun spoke, unleashing a series of incantations one after another. Immediately afterward, violent energy fluctuations rippled through the valley. Subsequently, a circular seal with a diameter of ten meters materialized at the very center of the valley floor.

The seal contained immense energy and emanated a faint glow. Ye Bufan could even sense a strong aura of ancient chaos.

He could be certain that this seal was absolutely real, even an ordinary person wouldn't be able to forge it.

"Little brother, this is the seal leading to the mortal world. It's just that it's not open right now and is in a dormant state."

"Okay, I'll go take a look!"

After going through so much, Ye Bufan finally found his way home. His heart was filled with uncontrollable excitement.

He flashed to the center of the valley, and Zhongli Mei and the others followed closely behind, surrounding the seal together for inspection.

They just didn't understand formations. After looking at it for a long time, they couldn't figure out what it was about, they could only feel how powerful this seal was.

Ye Bufan, as he looked, gradually furrowed his brow. The current seal was not merely dormant; it had also suffered significant damage.

If things continue like this, even after another hundred years it's probably impossible to open it.

What depressed him was the damage to the seal, which should have been caused by his own electromagnetic cannon.

The purpose at the time was to damage this seal and permanently close the passage between Kunlun Immortal Realm and Earth.

The goal has now been achieved, but I have isolated myself on this side of the Kunlun Immortal Realm. Thinking about it, it's truly disheartening.eAccording to his estimation, there were at least three cultivators at the peak of the Great Ascension stage in the Han Jian Xianzong. There were also at least dozens of cultivators who had reached th...
