Ye Bufan chuckled coldly, and the Sakurajima person in the long robe roared around.
"Come out, I want to fight you to the death!" The man looked around, but after a few seconds, no one answered him.
Ye Qingcheng watched his impotent rage from the shadows and couldn't help but laugh, "Weren't you very arrogant just now? Now that your zither is gone, you're starting to play double standards. This is truly bullying the weak and fearing the strong."
"Bullying the weak and fearing the strong, and double standards are all standard operating procedures for Sakurajima people," Ye Qingyi said coldly.
"Judging by the aura on him, he's a bit like the master of the shikigami just now. The strength of the early Foundation Establishment stage, mediocre." Ye Bufan finished speaking and disappeared from his original position, silently appearing behind the Sakurajima person.
The other party sensed Ye Bufan's aura and immediately turned back.
"Baga!" Seeing Ye Bufan, the other party showed a look of shock.
"Ye Bufan!" The other party actually called out Ye Bufan's name accurately. This not only shocked Ye Bufan but also made Ye Qingyi and Ye Qingcheng incredulous.
"It seems that the people of Sakurajima have noticed Ye Bufan's existence. Ye Bufan's performance in the past period has been too eye-catching," Ye Qingyi said.
"I'll kill you!" The other party produced a samurai sword and slashed down at Ye Bufan from above.
Ye Bufan naturally wouldn't give the other party a chance. The Sword Domain immediately unfolded, and the sword energy formed an invisible sword that instantly pierced through the other party's body. One sword, two swords, three swords. In an instant, countless bloody holes appeared on the Sakurajima person's body.
The other party looked at Ye Bufan with eyes full of terror.
"No! This is impossible! Impossible!" The other party roared with his last breath, and his body plummeted to the ground.
Ye Qingcheng stared at the scene in front of her, and her back suddenly felt cold. She remembered that Ye Bufan had acted as her sparring partner back then, and she had used the Sword Domain when she was prepared. However, Ye Bufan had used the Sword Domain so stealthily just now that the other party had no time to react before meeting his end.
"This Sword Domain is too abnormal," Ye Qingcheng sighed, "When can I comprehend a Blade Domain?"
Ye Qingyi smiled slightly upon seeing this. It was not easy to comprehend a domain prematurely. Ye Bufan's talent was truly heaven-defying. She was shocked for a long time when she first heard the news.
Lin Zhi struggled to get up from the floor after seeing Ye Bufan. He stood up and spat out a mouthful of blood.
"Pfft—"
Ye Bufan walked to Lin Zhi's side, took out a pill from his spatial jade pendant, and gave it to Lin Zhi to swallow.
As the pill entered his mouth, Lin Zhi instantly felt a refreshing energy spread throughout his body. Following that, his meridians felt warm and comfortable.
"Young friend, what kind of pill is this?" Lin Zhi asked Ye Bufan.
"Jin Chuang Dan," Ye Bufan replied.
This pill was originally in the spatial jade pendant, and Ye Bufan had accidentally found it when he was looking for mental power techniques for Ye Qingcheng. There were many in the spatial jade pendant, as if Lin Xiaoyao had prepared a lot in advance for fear that Ye Bufan might get hurt.
"Old sir, you should heal your wounds quickly. I'll watch over you," Ye Bufan said.
Lin Zhi cupped his fists and bowed to Ye Bufan, expressing his gratitude. At this time, he couldn't afford to think too much. It was too shameful to be seriously injured before reaching the sinkhole.
Therefore, Lin Zhi sat cross-legged on the floor and began to circulate the true energy within his body.
Ye Qingcheng and Ye Qingyi walked out of the forest. Ye Qingcheng looked at the other party and said, "This old gentleman is really unlucky to have been attacked twice in a row."
Ye Qingyi glanced into the depths of the mountains and said, "It will only get more dangerous from now on. The people from Sakurajima should be well-prepared."
"That's right. It's estimated that the hidden sects or families who came out of other spatial worlds have all encountered ambushes," Ye Bufan analyzed.
"It's getting late. You stay here and watch over the old gentleman. I'll go scout around."
Ye Bufan looked around. He didn't know how long it would take for Lin Zhi to heal. It was possible that they would still be cultivating in the same place at night. He needed to understand the terrain and situation around them.
Ye Qingyi nodded. Ye Bufan summoned his remnant sword and flew up, patrolling a five-kilometer radius around the forest.
During his patrol, Ye Bufan discovered hidden spiritual cultivation auras in several places. At the same time, Ye Bufan also noticed people fighting. After observing them secretly for a while, he saw that the cultivators from Kyushu had won, which put Ye Bufan at ease.
After clearing up the surrounding situation, Ye Bufan returned to the place where Lin Zhi was healing.
As soon as he approached, Ye Bufan noticed that there were five more spiritual cultivation auras at the resting spot, the strongest of which was in the late Foundation Establishment stage.
"Little girl, which sect do you belong to? When I go back, I'll have my father propose marriage to your sect. I want to marry both of you sisters." The man's voice rang out, and he had a very lewd smile on his face.
Ye Qingcheng frowned and said, "Scram, I'm not interested in you."
Ye Qingyi stood by and chuckled, "I wonder which sect has taken in such a lustful disciple. They truly don't know what's good for them."
"Yoho~ They're not interested in me." The man said to the four people behind him, "But the more they are like this, the more I like it. Tell them which sect we're from. Saying it out loud will scare them to death."
The young man walked forward with great confidence, his head held high and his chest puffed out, thinking he was very imposing.
"Listen up, our young sect leader is the son of the Yunlai Sect Master—Yun Tianying!" one of the early Foundation Establishment stage men said proudly.
"Yunlai Sect?" Ye Qingyi couldn't believe her ears when she heard the name.
"What? Scared stiff, aren't you? Our Yunlai Sect currently has the most Foundation Establishment stage cultivators among all hidden sects," another early Foundation Establishment stage man said.
"Scared stiff? Hehehehehe." Ye Qingyi covered her mouth and laughed, "I'm not scared stiff. I just remembered a nickname for your sect leader, Yun Shan."
"What nickname?" Yun Tianying asked with a frown.
"Yun Pao Pao (Yun the Runner)." Ye Qingyi laughed, "Didn't your father tell you? During the battle against the Eight-Headed Serpent back then, your father laughed so hard that he peed when he saw it. He abandoned the sect and ran for several kilometers, only to be beaten by your grandfather and chased back."
"You..." Yun Tianying's expression changed, and the four people behind him instantly took out their weapons.
