t someone in the face, but you, old man, are openly calling for a beating. What do you mean by thatMost importantly, Ye Bufan responded positively. Immediately after, dozens of feet stomped on his fac...Dongfang Jian shook his head: "This matter, besides you and me, can't be known by a third person, let alone reported upwards."

"What Is that even possible" Jin Wuming was taken aback. "Concealing this, if they find out, the consequences would be extremely severe."

Dongfang Jian said: "There's no problem. Someone comes down to check every hundred years, didn't they just finish checking before"

Even if it's found, we should wait until the next century. In such a long time, anything could happen. There's no need to rush things.

“This...”

Jin Wu-ming hesitated, his expression uncertain. He clearly still couldn't make up his mind.

Dongfang Jian continued, "Have you ever thought about what the consequences would be once it's reported"

Back then, the reason they gave this chaotic mine to our Chase Soul Sword Sect was to guard her.

Now that people are gone, what's the point of us staying here Are we even capable of returning such abundant resources to our sect

"Besides the two of us, something so big has happened. Do you think they'll let us off the hook Will we even have a chance to survive"

When these words were spoken, Jin Wuming's body trembled slightly, clearly feeling fear as well.

But if we don't speak up, at most we can only conceal it for a hundred years. The consequences after a hundred years will still be unbearable for us.

"If you come forward voluntarily, there might still be a chance."

"After all these years, you still don't understand the person above How could he possibly let us live"

The first reason is to punish our mistakes, and the second reason is to keep secrets. It's impossible to let others know that person is still alive.

As for what you said about a hundred years from now...

At this point, Dongfang Jian paused. "Haven't you felt that something is about to change The biggest thing spreading throughout the Chaos Holy Realm right now is that the reincarnation of the Immortal Saint Ancestor has appeared."

"If that person could really come back, then everything would change. So we shouldn't panic or rush, let's just wait patiently, maybe there will be other opportunities."

Jin Wuming hesitated for a moment, then nodded forcefully, clearly having made his decision.

"The Sect Master is right, we should still wait another hundred years."

Seeing the other party agree, a gleam of imperceptible murderous intent slowly dissipated from Dongfang Jian's eyes. He then took out seven chaotic beads and placed them one by one into each of the seven empty slots.

...with energy replenished, in his operation...

The Seven Kills Confinement Formation slowly recovered, once again sealing the entrance.

"This matter is known only to you and me. When you go out, tell those people that it was just a thief who came to steal the Chaos Orb, and he has now been killed by us. This matter ends here. For the sake of the sect's reputation, don't spread it around."

"Understood, Sect Master!"

Jin Wu Ming agreed with a nod, and the two turned and left together, soon appearing outside the mine.

Dongfang Jian returned to his residence, and Jin Wuming handled the aftermath according to their agreement.

Soon, the Zhuihun Sword Sect returned to its previous state, as if nothing had happened. The only change was that the guards were more vigilant.

Ye Bufan entered the spatial turbulence, his whole body immediately tensed up, assuming a combat state. However, he then discovered that the surroundings were empty and desolate, with nothing present. Everything was peaceful and undisturbed.

He let out a long sigh of relief, it seemed his luck was good this time.

If there is no danger in space, then the most important question is how to get back.

Before this point was definitely impossible, if we returned the same way, we would enter the Chasing Souls Sword Sect again.

This time he was lucky to escape, but he had no confidence he could escape a second time. There wasn't much point in repeating the same path.

"It's time to change positions."

Prior to this, he had numerous experiences traversing time and space turbulence, knowing that even the slightest movement here could result in a vast difference on the outside.

So he didn't make too many changes, just shifted about a hundred zhang horizontally. Then, with the blade of space, he slashed out again, cutting another crack a few zhang wide. He darted through it in a flash.

This kind of spatial jump is a great way to escape, but it also has huge uncertainties. You don't know what you'll encounter when you go out, and the same goes for coming back.

Ye Bufan had just steadied himself when a strong wave of bloody stench hit him.

He hurriedly looked around and found himself in a bowl-shaped valley. This was not a natural one, but rather an artificial creation.

The surroundings were filled with fluctuations of array formations, obviously guarded by an outer array formation.

And not far before him was a huge circular blood pool, with a diameter of about a thousand zhang.

At this moment, blood surged within like a raging sea, emanating a thick metallic scent.

This is not ordinary blood; it has various herbs and other additives, clearly man-made.

And above the blood pool, a gigantic nine-tailed celestial fox hovered there.

To be precise, he was completely bound by the formation.

And above its head, floating, was a huge pearl, the Tianhu Pearl.

A wisp of blood continuously seeps out from the pool, flowing into the Heavenly Fox Pearl.

"Little White!"

After a moment of stunned silence, Ye Bufan recognized the other party's identity. The reason he didn't recognize her immediately was because the current Nine-Tailed Sky Fox was vastly different from the one he had met in the Immortal Realm before.

The appearance wasn't much different, but all eight tails had changed color, resembling jade carvings.

And the ninth one's black tail was also half white, with only the last half still not completely white. It wasn't just the color, its entire aura was completely different from before.

Although Xiaobai's eyes are open at this moment, his gaze is vacant, as if he has already fallen into despair. He doesn't seem to notice Ye Bufan's arrival at all.

"How could this happen"

Ye Bufan was shocked, delighted, heartbroken, and angry. All kinds of emotions were intertwined. He never expected that he would go through a spatial jump and reappeared to see Xiaobai after so long.

He was about to speak when a powerful aura suddenly appeared outside the valley.

This pressure is too powerful, even stronger than the ancestor they encountered in the Soul Chasing Sword Sect.

Ye Bufan didn't dare to hesitate for a moment, quickly using his concealment technique to hide in the darkness nearby.

At this moment, his heart was pounding with anxiety. Although the Hidden Arts of the Chaotic Sutra were top-notch, wouldn't the vast power gap expose him

It turned out he had overthought it. Layers of formations guarded the valley's entrance, and the person who came in hadn't expected anyone to suddenly appear here at all.

And after entering, that person's gaze remained fixed on Xiaobai, completely ignoring everything else around them.

"The Deer and the Tripod!"

Ye Bufan only glanced at the newcomer with his peripheral vision, then immediately closed his eyes, fearing that his emotional fluctuations would attract the other's attention.

A middle-aged scholar came in, looking exactly as the former Demon Lord Wan Shou Xie had described him. It was none other than Lu Dingxuan, the Great Elder of Lingjiao Hall.

It seems that the Demon King of Ten Thousand Beasts hadn't lied to himself before, it was truly this old geezer who took Bai Xiaobai away.

Strength decides everything. Ye Bufan suppressed the anger in his heart and tried his best to hide his aura.

Now is not the time to expose ourselves, we must find a way to rescue Xiaobai, that's the most urgent thing.ng to move forward but afraid to. They were whispering to each other when they suddenly saw Jiao Xu and others immediately excitedly come over to them."Lord of the Island, you're here!"They are all th...
