"Hello!" The foreign cultivators spoke in very standard Chinese and shook hands with Ye Bufan and the others.
"My name is Rupa." The leader was a cultivator from Yin Fan. A girl stood beside him. She stepped forward and shook hands with the cultivators from the Jiuzhou region again.
"Hello, my name is Rani." Rani's Chinese had a Beijing accent, which surprised Ye Bufan and the others.
"Miss Rani's Chinese is spoken very standardly," Bai Zizhen said with a smile. "Her pronunciation is clear and resonant, making us feel inferior."
"My Chinese teacher is from the capital of your Jiuzhou region. I really like the culture of Jiuzhou. I always speak Chinese when I communicate with my teacher, and over time, I picked up her accent." Rani explained.
This time, six people came from Yin Fan, including Rani and Rupa. The Oz Alliance, the United Kingdom, the Eagle Nation, and the Bear Nation also sent six people each, as if they had planned it in advance.
Following Ye Qingyi's instructions, Bai Zizhen led these people to the designated mansions, allowing the foreign cultivators to rest.
Along the way, as planned, they introduced the "forbidden zones" of the underground city to them. Ye Bufan observed their reactions from the side. He thought he might be able to discern something from their expressions, but unfortunately, these people were all old foxes, hiding their true intentions better than each other.
During this process, Ye Bufan basically gauged the cultivation levels of the people in the underground city.
From the Yin Fan side, besides Rupa and Rani who were at the middle stage of Core Formation, the remaining four were three at the early stage of Core Formation and one at the great perfection of late Foundation Establishment.
From the Oz Alliance, there was one cultivator at the middle stage of Core Formation, three at the early stage of Core Formation, and the remaining two were at the peak of late Foundation Establishment.
The cultivators from the United Kingdom had sent three cultivators at the middle stage of Core Formation this time, one at the early stage of Core Formation, and two at late Foundation Establishment.
Ye Bufan roughly calculated that eight countries, including Yin Fan, Oz Alliance, Sakura Island, United Kingdom, Eagle Nation, Bear Nation, Portugal, and Sunset Grid, had a total of thirty-two cultivators.
Song Mingqin told Ye Bufan that these individuals were considered the younger generation of cultivators in their respective countries, representing the top combat power among the newest generation of cultivators.
"Hoo~" Ye Bufan took a deep breath. Ye Bufan was observing them, and they were also observing Ye Bufan.
However, Ye Bufan's cultivation was higher than theirs, and he also knew how to conceal his aura, which made everyone unable to discern his cultivation level.
"Strange~ Why can't I see through Ye Bufan's strength?" Rupa and Rani communicated secretly.
"It's not just us. I just exchanged words with some other cultivators, and none of them could see through Ye Bufan's cultivation," Rupa said to Rani. "This Ye Bufan is rumored to have already reached the middle stage of Core Formation. This speed is truly terrifying."
"So what? One of the reasons we came here is because of this Ye Bufan," Rani sneered. "Any potential threat to us must be eliminated by any means necessary."
"Let's observe first," Rupa said. "For some reason, after entering the underground city, I feel very uncomfortable, as if someone is secretly watching me."
"I have that feeling too," Rani said. "Could it be that Yu Xing of the underground city is not dead and knows our plan, and is secretly monitoring us?"
"How is that possible?" Rupa said. "The people from the Yin Corpse Sect have clearly stated that the Nascent Soul stage cannot exist in our world. Even cultivators at the Nascent Soul stage had to sacrifice their cultivation to come to our Blue Star, becoming late Core Formation cultivators. This shows that the underground city has long been a city without a master, and we should take it for ourselves. The treasures and even inheritances here are not few."
This exchange would last for seven days. Every day, Bai Zizhen, Song Mingqin, and others would keep the cultivators' schedules fully packed.
"Everyone, this is the accommodation arranged by the underground city for all of you." They arrived at an ancient mansion, which turned out to be a large courtyard with the City Lord's Mansion next door.
"Thank you, True Master Bai," Nodata, a cultivator from Sakura Island, said to Bai Zizhen. "We can arrange ourselves from now on, so you don't need to trouble yourselves."
Nodata exchanged glances with cultivators from several other regions. These people immediately understood Nodda's intention and echoed his sentiments.
"Mr. Nodda, you are worrying too much. You are our guests, and our Jiuzhou region has always been very hospitable. If we don't do a good job, our Jiuzhou cultivation sects will be laughed at," Bai Zizhen said. With a wave of his hand, he continued, "Now, we, the responsible individuals, will personally lead you to your respective courtyards. If you need anything, there will be a small bell in your room. Just ring it gently, and the City Lord's Mansion will send someone to assist you."
After speaking, the sects of Jiuzhou began to lead their foreign cultivator guests to their resting places separately.
This was also the preparation of the cultivators of Jiuzhou. Corresponding cultivation sects were responsible for secretly monitoring these foreign cultivators, dividing them into groups to prevent them from doing anything detrimental and leaving.
"Alright, thank you for your hospitality," Mr. Sam of the Oz Alliance said with a grim expression. "Sam's gaze fell on Qu Fei, who was responsible for him. Their eyes met, and the air became charged with tension."
Ye Bufan stood on the side. At this moment, the gap between Jiuzhou and the foreign cultivation sects became apparent. Most of the visitors were led by cultivators at the middle stage of Core Formation, while Jiuzhou had fewer cultivators at the middle stage of Core Formation, which was a headache.
Leading them back to their residences, Ye Bufan took a deep breath. Ye Qingyi's voice echoed in his ear.
"Little Brother Ye, how is it? Are you a little excited?" Ye Qingyi said. "These people have all come for you. Besides their actions in the underground city, they will definitely come for you."
Ye Bufan smiled slightly and said, "Let them come. They are all the same to me."
"Very good. Sister is waiting for your performance. I'll go prepare first. Some of them are quite impatient, and they might make a move tonight." Ye Qingyi said.
"Then Little Brother will await Sister's news," Ye Bufan replied.
