n.That's why he didn't immediately return to the imperial capital, wanting to make some money in Jiangnan City before leaving. He happened to meet Tang family's invitation at this time, so he came to...Ling Zhan stood beside, arms crossed, watching the scene unfold.

I originally thought I had the upper hand fighting at home, but in the blink of an eye, three elders were either killed or escaped.

Seeing Nie Kun flee in panic, he was completely flustered and shouted towards the back of the manor: "Master Zhuge, come and save me quickly!"

Behind Ling's manor there was a peculiar building, resembling a small temple but decorated with extreme opulence.

At this moment, inside a small temple, a white-haired old Taoist priest is embracing a woman in her twenties.

That old Taoist priest was rather strange. Judging from his appearance alone, with his white beard and hair, he looked like an elderly man of seventy or eighty.

Her skin was smooth and soft like a baby's, with muscles bulging beneath, looking like that of a man in his early twenties.

"My little darling, I'll take you with me to comprehend the ultimate Taoist principles."

A lecherous grin spread across the old man's face as he was about to pounce on the woman, when suddenly, Ling Zhan Yuan's urgent shouts pierced his ears.

"

What a disappointment.

"

The old Daoist frowned, but ultimately still put on his Taoist robes and instantly vanished from the room.

Over there at the square, Ye Bufan had just slain Di Wenyuan when suddenly a grey-robed old Taoist appeared beside Ling Zhan yuan.

"Master Zhuge, you have arrived."

Ling Zhan yuan's face was filled with excitement, as if he had seen a savior.

The old Daoist, however, wore a look of displeasure: "What's going on Didn't I tell you not to call me unless it was life or death"

He was originally called Zhuge Qingfeng. Five years ago, he found Ling Zhanyuan and refused to be a servant of the Ling family or be controlled by them. Instead, he demanded that they provide him with a young woman for cultivation every day.

As a reward, the Ling family can lend a hand once when faced with life-or-death situations.

At the beginning, Ling Zhan yuan didn't take this old Daoist seriously. But when the latter easily defeated Nie Kun, he realized that the other party was a member of the Taoist sect and immediately agreed without hesitation.

After all, the Ling family is wealthy and powerful. Providing a woman every day isn't a big deal for them. What matters is that Lao Dao can save lives in critical moments.

After that, the old Daoist lived in the Ling family, practicing every day behind closed doors and not participating in other matters.

After so long, even the people of the Ling family had forgotten him, but Ling Zhan Yuan remembered him clearly.

Seeing that three elders had been lost today, I summoned Zhuge Qingfeng.

"Master Zhuge, this is truly an emergency. I wouldn't dare to trouble you otherwise."

These two suddenly arrived at our Ling family and have already killed three elders. I beg the master to help us!

"You're saying Nie Kun isn't their match"

Zhuge Qingfeng's expression became solemn. He knew Nie Kun's abilities; the man was a mid-stage Heaven Rank expert.

"Yes, Master Zhuge, Elder Nie had an arm severed and was seriously injured before escaping."

Ling Zhan pointed at the severed arm on the ground.

Zhuge Qingfeng looked at the two people: "You youngsters, I didn't expect you to have some skills."

"But this Daoist has promised to protect the Ling family from harm. That's about it, you may go now."

Ye Bufan stared at Zhuge Qingfeng, his eyes becoming increasingly sharp.

At this moment, he had detected a strong aura of lust from this old Taoist priest. This was the breath peculiar to dual cultivation practitioners of the demonic way. Could it be that He Shuangshuang and Huang Xiaomei's disappearance were related to this old Taoist priest

He said coldly, “Did you catch him”

"Kid, are you interrogating the old Taoist"

Zhuge Qingfeng's expression darkened, and his aura suddenly erupted. "The old Taoist just doesn't want trouble. Don't think I'm afraid of you."

Get lost, or when I get angry, you won't be able to leave.

Although he was just a wandering cultivator, his cultivation base wasn't fake at all. He had already reached the level of a spellcasting master.

Because of this, Zhuge Qingfeng was arrogant and naturally wouldn't answer Ye Bufan's question.

This immediately increased the two people's suspicion. Leng Qingqiu said coldly, "Zhama old Dao, quickly hand over the person, or this girl will slash you with a sword."

She was originally a girl with a very strong sense of justice, especially after being almost assaulted by Zheng Huayang, she deeply resented this kind of behavior that threatened women, her body exuded powerful killing intent.

"Two little kids, you think the old master is afraid of you"

A fierce gleam flashed in Zhuge Qingfeng's eyes. Although the opponent had defeated the three elders of the Ling family, he could do so with ease as well and didn't think the opponent could defeat him.

Seeing the old Taoist get angry, Ling Zhan yuan was incredibly excited.

If we follow the old dao's words and let Ye Bufan and the other person leave safely, then our Ling family will lose all face in Shanghai.

However, due to Zhuge Qingfeng's imposing manner, he dared not say anything. But the other party unwittingly angered the old Daoist, so one can only say that these two people have brought their own demise.

"Dirty old Taoist, I'm going to kill you now."

Lán Qīng Qiu was about to make a move, but was pulled back by Yè Bù Fán.

"Let me do it."

This old Taoist's aura is powerful, far beyond those like Nie Kun. If Leng Qingqiu were to fight him, she would likely suffer a loss.

"Kid, since you're looking for death, I'll send you on your way."

As the old Daoist finished speaking, his aura suddenly erupted. With a sweep of his wide sleeves, hundreds of thick ice spears condensed in mid-air in an instant.

While it is still an Ice Spear technique, in this old Daoist's hands, both its power and speed far surpass that of any ordinary Spell Master.

"Go get it."

Zhuge Qingfeng let out a loud shout, and hundreds of ice spears instantly ripped through the air, flying towards Ye Bufan.

"Break me!"

A flash of light appeared in Ye Bufan's hand, the Dragon Tooth sword gleaming. Then, a sharp blade of light slashed through the air, colliding with the ice spears.

A flash of light, and the ice spears were all severed by the blade, scattering on the ground.

"Kid, you've got some guts."

Zhuge Qingfeng raised an eyebrow, but his attack just now was merely a tentative one. He hadn't unleashed his full power yet.

"What do you think of this"

After he finished speaking, his hands moved quickly as he chanted incantations and pinched the mystical seals. Immediately, a stream of crimson flames shot out from his palms.

This flame is different from Di Wenyuan's previous Fiery Palm. That was just scorching yang attribute true qi, but the palm of his hand is real fire.

This ball of flame was only the size of a basketball and lacked the might of a fire dragon, yet it contained extremely powerful energy. In terms of level, it was close to being a congenital fire.

Zhuge Qingfeng's hands moved, and the flames in his hands merged into a huge fireball, which suddenly smashed towards Ye Bufan.

"Trivial tricks, break them for me."

Ye Bufan did not use any magic, still slashing out with a single sword.

The dragon's fang transformed into a sharp blade of light, clashing with the fireball. The fireball exploded with a deafening boom, scattering sparks in all directions and forcing the guards to scatter for cover.

As the saying goes, "One force breaks through ten thousand laws." When martial arts cultivation reaches a certain level, even magic cannot overcome it.

Now Zhuge Qingfeng was a little surprised. You see, his fireball technique just now seemed plain and unremarkable, but it had already condensed 80% of his cultivation. Even if it hit a small mountain, it could flatten it.

While the opponent was bland and unremarkable, they defeated him with a single stroke.

"You have some skill, but you're still far from being good."

He finished speaking and his hands rapidly formed seals, creating a whirlwind in the blink of an eye.

As the cyclone grew larger, a strange wind suddenly swept within a radius of one hundred meters around him.

The strange wind grew stronger and stronger, making countless trees sway and seem as if they were about to fall.

Leaves swirled in the air like rain, gathering in his hands and coalescing into a large black sphere.

That black sphere spun rapidly, like a rotating black hole, with an irresistible and terrifying pull.n for him.Ye Bufan took out a storage ring, pretending to pay, then asked again, "By the way, are you sure those three birds belong to you""Could there be anything wrong They were raised in this very...
