ic, the remaining people were all getting younger and younger, all in their twenties. They didn't look like masters at all. The only one who was a bit older was now dressed as a servant, constantly wi...Bai Li Cheng Ye said: "Your Highness, I just asked, Ye Bu Fan has been at the post station all along. This matter should have nothing to do with him."

Bai Li Xingkong nodded: "I overthought it. He probably doesn't have that ability."

But he had already made up his mind in his heart, no matter what, he couldn't let this kid go tonight, he had to kill him, and it would be a release from the anger in his heart.

The Grand Elder said, "Your Royal Highness, the time for the competition is approaching. Shouldn't we return"

"Alright, we're out of here!"

Although he was filled with frustration, Bai Li Xingkong had no choice. After a whole morning of searching, he hadn't even caught a glimpse of his target. Staying any longer would only humiliate him further.

The royals left, and there was no point for the rest of us to stay. We dispersed.

"Boy, haven't you had breakfast yet Hurry up and prepare some good wine and meat for this old man. That braised pork trotter yesterday was quite nice, bring two more."

Ye Bufan glared at him: "Old man, you're being too much. Demanding food and drink from me first thing in the morning I owe you nothing!"

Xuan Yuan Zhan Tian sat in front of him and chuckled: "I, an old man, don't even have a reward of one hundred million high-grade spirit stones. Is it too much to eat a few pig trotters from you"

Ye Bufan's expression changed slightly: "What do you mean"

A sly smile appeared on Xuanyuan Zhantian's aged face: “I told you, kid, you're a little fox. You're so cunning, even using half of the Qi Hua San Qing technique for kidnapping."

"Don't think I don't know it was you who did this. Those fifty top-grade spirit stones are in your pocket, aren't they"

"Damn: Old man, you can actually see that"

Ye Bufan was completely shocked. He had done all this extremely secretly, it could be said to be seamless, but he didn't expect to be seen through by the old man in front of him.

Xuan Yuan Zhan Tian smirked, a look of arrogance on his face.

"Of course, who am I I've passed down your Qi-transforming into Three Pure Ones. How could I not see that it was your Taoist body"

You're quite the prodigy, you even managed to mimic demonic energy so convincingly.

Ye Bufan's calm demeanor vanished, replaced by a fierce look as he addressed him: "So, what do you think I should do Silence them permanently"

"All right, all right," Xuanyuan Zhan Tian waved his hand. "No need to pretend in front of an old man like me. Just put some pig's trotters in my mouth to shut me up."

"You glutton, I'm defeated by you."

Ye Bufan also knew that this old man had no ill intentions towards him, otherwise he wouldn't have waited until now to take out a pile of food and throw it at him.

Xuan Yuan Zhan Tian grabbed a pork trotter the size of his fist and took a big bite: "That's right, there's nothing that a pork trotter can't solve, if there is, just give me two."

"But even I find it strange, as an old man who has eaten all sorts of delicacies, nothing tastes as good as these things you have!"

"Alright, no more chatter, let's go to the competition after we finish eating."

Ye Bufan and his group had breakfast and then left the inn to head for the Royal Training Ground.

Today is the day of the semi-finals, so naturally, there are many people here to watch the excitement.

Many people had just witnessed the kidnapping of the Crown Prince at the city gate, their excitement still high, and they turned around to watch the competition here.

Baili Xingkong sat gloomily on the viewing platform, organizing the competition. Following the schedule, the first match was between Wàng Chén of Juéjīng Valley and Huā Rúyù of Huajiān Pai.

Wang Chen was still the same as before, with a red mask on her face and a seven-string qin in her hand, like an immortal who did not eat the fire of mortals.

In contrast, the alluring Hua Ru Yu was more like a woman, swaying her seductive figure onto the stage with a captivating smile always gracing her lips.

"Hey there, didn't expect to see you here."

"Hua Ru Yu's voice was soft and charming, "I hate hitting women the most. How about we settle this Just admit defeat."

Wàng Chén Void sat there, merely looking at the seven-stringed qin before him. He didn't even glance at Huā Rú Yù.

Hua Ru Yu wore a pained expression: "Oh, you're putting me in a difficult position! Since the young lady insists on fighting, there's no way out. It's not my fault that I fight fiercely."

Wangchen seemed to have no interest in speaking with him, and immediately began strumming the seven-stringed qin in his hand. A melodious tune filled the air.

This sonic attack is also quite powerful, capable of launching invisible soul attacks and transforming into tangible blades.

As the piano music began, an invisible force swept over everything instantly.

"Floral Broken Jade Fist!"

Here, Hua Ruyu let out a delicate cry and then leaped into the air, unleashing a punch.

It was unbelievable. Just moments ago, he had been alluring and delicate, more graceful than a woman could be. Yet now, this punch was utterly domineering.

A punch blasted out, shaking heaven and earth. Even the surrounding air couldn't bear the fierce force of the blow, emitting a sharp, piercing screech.

The intangible force carried by the sound wave was instantly shattered under this punch.

Everyone around was dumbfounded, no one expected Hua Ru Yu to be able to unleash such a powerful attack, the difference was too great.

"Damn, after seeing this punch I realize he's a man..."

"So amazing, so amazing, as expected, there are no weaklings at this stage…"

"Such a domineering punch, it seems Wàngchén has met his match..."

The crowd's passion instantly ignited with that punch. They buzzed with excited chatter, discussing and analyzing the unfolding battle nonstop.

Hua Ru Yu's set of boxing techniques was fierce and powerful, instantly repelling Wang Chen's attack.

Meanwhile, his figure flashed like lightning, rushing over directly to interrupt the other person's playing rhythm.

Just as he was about halfway there, an invisible energy field stopped him in his tracks.

Wàngchén still bowed his head to play the qin, the music was melodious, seemingly unaffected by anything happening outside.

And that melodious music is the source of power for the energy shield, forming a powerful defensive barrier.

"Break it for me!"

HUA Ru Yu once again unleashed a punch, her strike even more ferocious than before.

The fist slammed into the invisible energy shield, causing a ripple to spread outward, but that was all. It couldn't break through at all.

Then he threw dozens of punches in succession, still unable to break through this layer of defense.ybe they're really rich...A hush fell over the crowd as they buzzed with excited chatter."I..."Zheng Qi's expression became incredibly complex. He had never imagined that a thousand-mile fragrance fru...
