Ye Bufan noticed that Bai Zizhen, Song Mingqin, Qu Fei, and Yan Yuzhu were all looking at him. Ye Bufan knew at a glance what they were planning.
"Brother Ye, you've already become a tool. What will they do without you?" Ye Qingyi also noticed the four people's gazes and couldn't help but tease Ye Bufan.
"Sister Ye is joking. They merely need mental energy spells, and I happen to know mental energy spells."
As Ye Bufan spoke, he slowly walked up to Tao Ming. Shangguan Chengtian was surprised to see Ye Bufan suddenly appear. Bai Zizhen walked to Shangguan Chengtian's side and explained the situation, causing the latter to immediately stop and step aside.
"Please, excuse me." Shangguan Chengtian gestured for Ye Bufan to proceed.
Ye Bufan slowly squatted in front of Tao Ming and asked, "What is your relationship with the Yin Corpse Sect?"
Upon hearing the words "Yin Corpse Sect," Tao Ming immediately looked up. At the same moment, Ye Bufan activated his Illusory Sound Demonic Eyes. His eyes became vacant. In Tao Ming's eyes, a giant black eye appeared behind Ye Bufan, exerting pressure on him. Everything around seemed to change, and he felt himself unconsciously falling into a dangerous environment.
This danger came from his subconscious. Soon, this premonition became a reality, followed by fear, fear from the depths of his heart.
Tao Ming's gaze was vacant, and his face showed a hint of pain. Shangguan Chengtian watched this with secret admiration.
After five seconds, Tao Ming lay on the floor, curled up in fear. This further bewildered the surrounding cultivators who were clueless.
"What is going on?" Especially the people from the cultivation families were greatly surprised.
"Is that... a mental energy spell?" Many people put themselves in Tao Ming's shoes. Tao Ming was in the middle stage of Foundation Establishment and had lasted a long time against Shangguan Chengtian, but he could only last five seconds against Ye Bufan. If it were them, how long could they last?
"What is your purpose? How many people have come here before?" Ye Bufan's voice echoed in Tao Ming's mind.
"I... we want to snatch your inheritance." Tao Ming said half of it, then gritted his teeth and suppressed the rest.
"Speak!" Ye Bufan's voice was oppressive, making Tao Ming subconsciously want to reveal everything from the depths of his heart.
At the same time, Ye Bufan took advantage of Tao Ming's weakest moment to forcibly invade his mind with mental energy, trying to read the information within.
Before long, Ye Bufan's forehead also began to sweat, but fortunately, the entire process went very smoothly.
From the other party's memories, Ye Bufan learned when the real Tao Ming was possessed and also discovered some things about the Yin Corpse Sect.
Five minutes later, Ye Bufan withdrew his spell. Tao Ming convulsed violently on the floor, even foaming at the mouth.
"How was it?" Bai Zizhen and the others stepped forward to ask Ye Bufan.
"Things are probably more complicated than we thought," Ye Bufan said with a frown.
From Tao Ming's memories, Ye Bufan saw something about the Yin Corpse Sect. The teleportation gates on Blue Star had already been activated in many places. Cultivators from other worlds, like the Silver Hook Snow Wolf he encountered before, were quietly infiltrating Blue Star.
This time, the Yin Corpse Sect was behind the people of Sakura Island.
Currently, these teleportation arrays were in a very unstable state, so one had to pay a price to travel to Blue Star.
Furthermore, the spiritual energy on Blue Star was extremely scarce compared to other worlds. Upon arriving on Blue Star, cultivators would directly face a suppression of their cultivation. Regardless of their realm, they could only be a Core Formation stage cultivator.
This was similar to someone going to a high plateau for the first time and experiencing extreme oxygen deprivation. It caused cultivators arriving on Blue Star to be unable to maintain their bodily functions due to the scarcity of spiritual energy, requiring time to adapt.
This news shocked all the cultivators present: cultivators from other worlds.
Invisible pressure loomed over all the cultivators. Behind the people of Sakura Island were cultivators from other worlds. They possessed mental energy spells and artifacts, and their strength was an unknown factor.
Everyone knew that from now until the restrictions disappeared, more and more cultivators would arrive.
For a time, everyone felt like they were facing a formidable enemy.
"What? Are you all scared?" Bai Zizhen said. "No matter where they come from, their cultivation will be suppressed here. What's there to be afraid of? We welcome friends with good wine, and we're not pushovers when it comes to enemies."
"Exactly!" Shangguan Chengtian also stood up. "What we need to do is seize this time of spiritual energy resurgence to accelerate our cultivation pace and, at the same time, identify those with ulterior motives behind the scenes and dismantle their plans."
Ye Bufan's actions made all the cultivators in Kyushu wary of the people of Sakura Island.
Song Mingqin believed this was a good opportunity to thoroughly purge the internal affairs of various families and sects to see if any hidden agents could be found.
Ye Bufan was no longer interested in the matters of the sects and stepped aside.
"What? The sect leader of the Taiyi Divine Sect isn't going to learn how to manage a sect?" Ye Qingyi teased.
"I don't have any disciples in my sect, so there's no need," Ye Bufan said with a wry smile.
The group rested in the valley for a while, and soon a disciple discovered that the people of Sakura Island were gathering and rapidly approaching.
"Still not giving up?" Song Mingqin narrowed his eyes, his killing intent boiling.
"Currently, our location is a strategically advantageous position. We don't need to fear them coming," Yan Yuzhu said. "If they want to come, we'll make sure they never return."
"Don't be rash," Bai Zizhen stepped forward. "What we need to consider now is the Yin Corpse Sect behind the people of Sakura Island. Their actions make me worried that they want to weaken the current combat strength of Blue Star cultivators through Sakura Island. We should retaliate in a way that minimizes our losses as much as possible."
"It's rather strange that the people of Sakura Island are chasing us so quickly," Ye Bufan said from the side.
"Hidden agents are hard to eradicate," Ye Qingyi said. "To truly clear them out will require some sacrifice, akin to cutting flesh."
"Sister Ye seems to know something?" Ye Bufan looked at Ye Qingyi, as if she had some insights into clearing out hidden agents.
