ecretly returned to Hong Kong Island and wanted to find an opportunity to kill Zheng Huayang.I've been secretly following him this whole time, and I never expected this to happen. Now I just want to g..."What That's impossible!"

Guan You was slapped, but he was so shocked that he even forgot to cover his face. He stared in horror and said, "Master, this is impossible!"

I've followed Master for so many years, how could I possibly be wrong It's him!

"It's bull**, you have no brain"

Guan Chengfang asked, "Do you think those sarcastic remarks about Lady Laiyang are something the young master would say"

Do you think the young master has the guts to provoke three powerful families at once

Do you think you have the strength to subdue all those guards at the Prince's Manor in one go

"This...this...this is definitely a bit off!"

Guan Youcai thought back for a moment, and it was indeed the case.

Ye Bufan's words at the auction were both sarcastic and cutting. Not to mention that the young master couldn't have said them, even he, who had lived for so many years, had never heard anything like it.

And judging from his years of experience, these actions are not typical of Qi Rui's style at all; the difference is too great.

He swallowed hard, trying to calm his shock.

"Master, you mean someone is impersonating the young master"

"If I'm not mistaken, that's definitely the case."

Guan Chengfang's expression was gloomy, "Didn't you notice, after the young master was called over, he seemed completely clueless. That kind of expression wasn't faked."

"This..."

Juan's forehead instantly broke out in a cold sweat. The more he thought about it, the more terrifying it became.

Someone actually managed to replace Guan Qirui right in front of him, silently and without a sound, leading to a disaster for the steward.

How profound a state of mind, how terrifying a power.

"Master, then who do you think did this"

"Looking at it now, there's a high probability it was that young doctor from the Gu Yimen clinic."

Guan Chengfang immediately gave the answer, his expression frighteningly grim.

He had taken down the ancient medical clinic by relying on the power of Wangfu, but he never expected that they would retaliate with even more ruthless methods, crippling his foundation.

But he also couldn't figure out how the other party had done it, how they could quietly disguise themselves as his son without revealing any clues.

"Master, what are we going to do We must find a way to save Young Master. Perhaps we should speak with King Laiyang and make things clear"

"Don't talk nonsense! Would you believe it if I said that as King of Laiyang"

Guan Chengfang was incredibly annoyed. Ye Bufan's move was powerful precisely because of this; even if he saw through it, there was nothing he could do about it.

What he said was so heartless, it was shocking. People would think he was trying to excuse his son.

"Master, what are we going to do We can't just stand here and watch..."

Before Guan You could finish his sentence, Guan Chengfang impatiently waved his hand.

"Alright, you can go now. Keep today's events to yourself, don't tell anyone."

He desperately wanted to save his son, but the situation was so dire that he couldn't think of any way out.

"Master, I'll take my leave now."

Guan You turned and walked out, closing the door behind him. Guan Chengfang was left alone in the room, pacing anxiously.

In the Ju Bao Ge, the middle-aged manager sitting in his seat was also horrified to hear his subordinate's report.

I never expected this steward, the young master, to be so ruthless. Not only did he break the legs of the Minister of War's son, but he also tied up the Princess of Laiyang to a tree.

It seems the butler's in a bit of trouble!

He murmured softly, picking up the teacup before him and preparing to take a sip, when suddenly a dark figure appeared in front of him.

"This...Greetings, Headmaster Zhu Rong! How did you come to be here"

Coming was a black-robed old man, he was the head of the Burning Heaven Gate, Zhu Rong Ling Tian.

The Burning Heaven Sect is the first and most powerful sect in the Great Shun Empire. It is incredibly powerful, but it has always remained hidden from the world, unconcerned with worldly affairs.

There are rumors circulating in the martial arts world that if a fourth eight-star sect were to appear in Tianluo Prefecture, it would undoubtedly be none other than the Fencian Gate.

It is also rumored that the current strength of Fentianmen is no less than that of the other three eight-star sects, but they are just too low-key in their daily lives.

In fact, the Burning Heaven Gate is indeed very low-key and rarely appears before the world.

But even the most low-key sects need cultivation resources, so their relationship with Ju Bao Ge is pretty good.

I often come here to attend some auctions and buy some treasures I need.

It's just that the middle-aged headmaster is acting a little strange today. Normally, this headmaster wouldn't come here at all, so why did he suddenly visit today

Zhu Rong Tian Ling reached out and touched the Supreme Jade Pendant, bringing up the image of the Dragon Absorbing Stone.

"Where is this thing Show it to me!"

The middle-aged manager said, “Lord Zhu Rong, you said this piece of fire stone, just now it was sold at the auction.”

"What, sold out"

Zhùróng Lìngtiān's expression changed. He had discovered the stone by chance, and although it was labeled "Flames Stone," he saw something different.

This is definitely no ordinary fire stone, it's more like the legendary dragon-absorbing stone.

The Burning Heaven Sect cultivates fire-attribute techniques. The flames contained within the Flame Stone are of great benefit to them.

If it absorbs the sliver of dragon qi within, it would advance further, even possibly breaking through to the Great Vehicle stage.

It was precisely because of this that he rushed to the imperial city in person, but ultimately arrived a step too late, missing the opportunity to meet with Long Xishi.

But such a treasure is rare to encounter even over a millennium. Zhūrúng Lìngtīng naturally wouldn't let it slip away so easily.

"Tell me, who did you sell the Fire Stone to"

"was sold to the young master Guan Qirui, who worked for the butler."

The middle-aged supervisor said, "Lord Zhuru, if you need fire stones, we can keep an eye out for you. It won't be long before we have some."

"You know nothing, that's a once-in-a-thousand-years dragon absorbing stone, you ruined it!"

Zhu Rong Tian Ling angrily cursed, then his figure instantly vanished from the room.

"What, Dragon Absorbs Stone"

The middleman was instantly dumbfounded. He had never seen a dragon absorbing stones, but he had heard of it.

If that flame is really a dragon absorbing stone, then their Pau Brocade Pavilion has suffered a huge loss, completely selling a treasure for the price of cabbage.

Just as he was filled with remorse, suddenly two figures appeared before him again.

These two people, one in a black robe and the other in a red robe, exuded powerful auras, clearly being experts at the Void Profound stage.

The two were blood brothers, one named Gongsun Ming and the other Gongsun Liang. They were known in the martial arts world as the Yin-Yang Twins.

"Why are you two here suddenly"

The middle-aged manager was startled to see the two of them, not expecting so many Void Core experts to arrive today.

Gongsun Ming said, "Cut the crap, tell me where that piece of flame stone is!"

"Uh..."

The middle-aged manager hadn't expected these two people to be here for the Dragon Sucking Stone either. It seemed what Zhu Rong Ling Tian had said just now wasn't a lie, and he had really misjudged the situation here. He had missed out on such a good treasure for nothing.

To be able to make so many powerful Void Realm experts covet it, if it were truly brought to the auction, how much money would it make

But now the thing has been sold, and he has no way to do anything about it. He can only say helplessly: "I'm sorry, that piece of Flame Stone has already been bought by Young Master Guan Qi from the steward."

"Foolish!"

The two Yin-Yang Immortals snorted coldly, then vanished from the room.

After they left, three or four more waves of super-strong warriors arrived one after another, all targeting the Dragon Absorbing Stone.

It seems that Ye Bufan's previous predictions were not wrong. Once this thing spreads, it will immediately cause a bloody storm and monstrous waves in the Jianghu.

The middle-aged manager was furious and immediately had the appraiser from Jùba Gé called over. He first cursed him with insults, then deducted all his salary and kicked him out.h such a trick.Since grabbing the opponent's woman as a hostage, one has a glimmer of hope.Yet Ye Bufan remained unfazed. “So what”Sanders grew increasingly confident, believing he had completely seiz...
