explained, "Xiao Fan, don't misunderstand me. He likes me, but I don't like him. There's really nothing between us."Ye Bufan saw the panic in Xue Man's face for the first time and smiled, "Don't worr..."Master, please calm your anger. Here's what happened..."

Liu Baiyi recounted the events, finally saying, "Although I didn't see it with my own eyes, after that incident, the three drops of dragon blood disappeared. I guess even if Ye Bufan didn't steal them, it must have been someone close to him!"

"Damn it, to dare steal the treasures of my Cold Sword Immortal Sect!"

Sang Jueying was filled with anticipation that the three drops of dragon's blood would help her improve, but when she found out it had been stolen, she was furious.

She waved her hand, and a sharp sword glow slashed through the void, shattering the tightly closed mountain gate to pieces.

"From now on, I, the Hantian Sword Sect, will end our closed-door training. All disciples, go out and find the whereabouts of Ye Bufan and the people around him."

"No matter who you meet or what happens, just let go and do whatever you want! I'll take care of everything for you!"

"Yes!"

The many disciples at the foot of the mountain all responded in unison. For so many years, they had been confined within the sect, and they were all filled with pent-up anger.

Now that they had a powerful backer, each of them was proud and arrogant. After receiving the order, they immediately rushed out of Hantian Immortal Sect and began searching for people within the Kunlun Continent.

Xiaoqing is still a child at heart. After entering Tianqiong Prefecture, most of her unhappiness from before had already dissipated.

Returning to this place, I strolled with Ye Qingtan, stopping and starting as we went. We sometimes admired the scenery and sometimes savored the delicious food. It was indeed a delightful trip.

Ye Qingtan was the same, the little girl was experiencing leaving Earth for the first time, arriving at the Kunlun Continent, finding everything novel and interesting.

The next day, the two captured a creature that resembled a yellow sheep and built a bonfire to start grilling.

Ye Qingtan grabbed a thigh and bit into the golden-brown roast with gusto. Although there wasn't much seasoning, just a sprinkle of salt, the flavor was incredibly delicious.

"Aunt Xiaoqing, where are we going to capture monsters"

Xia Qing was also eating with her mouth full, and said as she ate, "Across the entire Kunlun Continent, the strongest areas for demonic beasts are the Demon Abyss Sea and the Wild Desolation Mountains."

If you want to bring those two little guys higher-level monsters, go over there."

The Demon Abyss Sea and the Wilderness Mountains are forbidden places for cultivators across the entire Kunlun Continent. Those with insufficient strength dare not enter at all.

Now Xiaqing's strength is too powerful, for the monsters of the Kunlun Continent, it's simply a crushing victory across levels, with little difference from ants and mosquitoes.

If it weren't for Ye Bufan sealing her with a seal, I'm afraid the space here wouldn't be able to withstand her pressure.

Even so, she stood at the pinnacle of this continent, unfettered in her travels.

Two people were eating and chatting, oblivious to two figures stealthily appearing in the dense forest nearby.

"Master Uncle, am I seeing things Isn't that little girl the one who followed Ye Bufan back then and almost destroyed our entire Hán Jiàn Xiān Zōng"

The speaker is Baihe, a disciple of the Hansjian Immortal Sect. She was inside the sect when Ye Bufan came to take away Leng Qingqiu years ago and saw everything clearly.

Standing beside her was another woman, who was once the other talented disciple of Hanshan Sword Immortal Sect, Du Ling霜.

After being beaten up by Ye Bufan inside the Ten-Story Sky Piercing Tower, he was left with a bruised face and feeling ashamed. After coming out, he retreated to seclusion for intense training.

Now, twenty years have passed. His strength has improved tremendously, rising from the early stage of Mahayana to the later stage.

After Leng Qingqiu left, she became the most outstanding genius disciple in the entire sect.

But because he secluded himself to practice, he didn't see how Xia Qing displayed her power back then.

This time, Sang Jueying was furious and almost sent out all the disciples within the sect. Two people in a group, she happened to be with Lily.

"Are you sure you didn't misread"

Lily scrutinized carefully again: "There's no mistake, it's her!"

"Fantastic! We're incredibly lucky this time, we've accomplished great things."

Du Lingxiang was delighted. She had found Xiaoqing first, and now her master had emerged from seclusion, his strength unfathomable. She was sure to reap immense benefits.

Having thought of this, he took out the communication jade and immediately sent a message.

"Be careful," he whispered, "Don't let them find you. We'll just wait here for the Grand Elder to arrive."

"Uncle Master, are we just going to wait here It doesn't seem like a good solution."

Lily said, "That little Qing is at the Nascent Soul stage. Once she finishes eating, if she leaves us, we probably won't be able to keep up or stop her. At that time, we'll have no credit."

Du Lingxiang frowned. Although she was very conceited, she also knew that the late stage of Mahayana was far inferior to the strength of the tribulation period. If Xiaqing wanted to leave her, she really couldn't stop her.

"But there's no better way now!"

"Master Uncle, I have a way," Lily said. "But it involves taking some risks."

Du Ling霜 glanced at her: "Go on!"

Lily said: "The two of them, the most capable is Xiaoqing. The other little girl looks young and doesn't seem to have much ability."

As long as Master Uncle distracts Xiaoqing, I can grab that little girl. With her in our hands, she won't refuse to come with us.

As long as we find a way to bring them into the Cold Sword Immortal Sect, with the help of the Supreme Elder, everything will be solved!

Du Ling霜 frowned: "The method is not bad, but as you said, that Xiao Qing is a powerhouse in the tribulation period, and I am just at the late stage of Mahayana. I'm not her opponent at all."

"There is a slight risk, but it's not big. That little girl seems to have low cultivation, and I could easily capture her."

As long as there are hostages, Xiaoqing will be afraid to act rashly and wouldn't dare to harm her master even a single hair.

"This..."

Du Ling霜 hesitated a little. She had to admit that Lily's plan was highly feasible. Once successful, she would have accomplished something great.

But there are also huge risks. Remember, you're facing a powerful cultivator of the Tribulation Transcendence stage. If you're not careful, you could be reduced to ashes.

"Master Uncle, you can stay far away. Just lure her away is enough."

Now that you have reached the late stage of Mahayana, as long as the Supreme Elder gives you some benefits, you can break through to the peak of Mahayana. Coupled with your achievements this time, the next seat of the sect leader will be yours.

Upon hearing this, Du Ling's eyes instantly lit up.

Now Liu Baiyi is already at the early stage of crossing tribulation, and it is believed that he will soon step down from his position as headmaster. If nothing unexpected happens, Li Miaozhen will succeed him.

If one were to attain the pinnacle of Mahayana themselves, and with the support of a Supreme Elder, the position of Sect Leader would surely be theirs.

As the saying goes, wealth and honor come with risks. I've made up my mind at this moment.

"Alright, I'll do it your way. But remember, we need to be quick. I can't hold on much longer here."

"Rest assured, Sect Leader. As long as you distract Xia Qing, capturing that little girl will be a piece of cake for me."

After decades of cultivation, Lily has made great progress and is now at the early stage of Void Core.

She was pushing Du Ningxiang hard for her own reasons. As long as the other woman became the sect leader, she would be the number one contributor, and the benefits afterward would be limitless. She might even become the next sect leader.

After discussing the specifics of their plan, the two parted ways quickly, ready to put it into action.midate the other party, but she racked her brains for a suitable excuse to no avail.Ye Bufan chuckled and said, "I'll give you three choices. The first is to let me spank you.""You dare!"Song Yaoji, a...
