Chapter 641 641: I Got Scared, You Guys Play By Yourselves!
Qing Yuan's brow twitched violently a few times, but he managed to hide the fluctuation of his emotions and spoke indifferently, "You're overthinking it! I just completed the Soul Sacrifice ceremony for Zhuang Bifan. Zhuang Bifan is currently accepting the inheritance from the Soul Hall. Although he can achieve the strength of the Martial Saint Realm, the process is somewhat painful—perhaps it's Zhuang Bifan's cries of agony you heard!"
What Qing Yuan said was half true and half false. He glanced at Chris faintly and said, "Prince Kris, how are you considering the matter of joining the Soul Hall? Why don't I help you break through to the Martial Saint Realm right now? It would be quite a novel experience!"
Qing Yuan did not forget to continue tempting Chris!
After all, behind Chris stood the entire Bolidian Empire. If he could control Chris, the Soul Power and Telekinesis rent he would gain in the future—as well as the collection of Soul Power—would constitute a substantial income indeed.
"No rush for now, Lord Qing Yuan! Let's keep in touch, and I will definitely contact you the moment I need anything," Chris said with a forced smile. "However, those cultivation techniques you passed on last time were really effective. It's just a pity that Ye Fan still got away. I wonder if you have any similar techniques in your possession?"
What Chris was referring to were the Formation techniques he used against Ye Fan in the Vermilion Bird Military Martial Competition.
As for accepting the sacrifice from the Soul Hall and receiving inheritance, Chris was not even considering it at the moment.
What a joke?
To achieve a breakthrough into the Martial Saint Realm would mean selling his own soul, offering it up to the Soul Hall?
Following the Soul Sacrifice, wouldn't he become nothing but a beast of burden for the Soul Hall?
Whether it was the Telekinesis he cultivated or his spiritual Soul Power, both would be siphoned by the Soul Hall. What independence of character would he have left? If that's the case, what use would great Martial Arts strength be to him?
"I do have some, but they're not suitable for you to cultivate at the moment. Maybe next time. When we meet again, Prince Kris, prepare several young souls for me. Then, I will impart to you a new set of Cultivation Techniques!"
Qing Yuan responded with a nonchalant tone and, after giving Chris a sinister glance, kicked off the ground and swiftly fled towards the outside of the Gu Sect Headquarters Base. "Your Highness, have a pleasant evening!"
Qing Yuan sneered inwardly. Once Ye Fan had dealt with the Zhuang Bifan matter, the entire Gu Sect was likely due for a reshuffle, right?
It was just unfortunate that after the Soul Hall had made arrangements within the Gu Sect for so many years, all its efforts were destroyed in an instant.
Watching Qing Yuan's retreating figure, Chris's face revealed a hint of confusion. "Lord Qing Yuan is acting strangely today! What's this rush about? Coming to the Gu Sect to make preparations in advance, enhancing Zhuang Bifan's strength, and then ambushing Ye Fan—shouldn't that be the most pressing issue?"
"No, that's not right! There must be something else going on!"
Although Chris didn't possess clairvoyance, his keen intuition still told him that something was amiss.
"Is it possible that Ye Fan has already entered the Gu Sect? Then Zhuang Bifan has been captured, and the agony we heard was from Zhuang Bifan being tortured?" Chris asked another expert from the Dark Alliance standing beside him.
Since Chief Mike had died in the Vermilion Bird Military Martial Competition, and it was Ye Fan who had killed him, the Dark Alliance was extremely angry. Thus, when Prince Chris said he wanted to collaborate with the Dark Alliance to kill Ye Fan at the Gu Sect Headquarters, the Dark Alliance immediately dispatched several powerful experts to coordinate with Chris's plan.
"Is that possible? Your Highness, while Ye Fan is formidable… according to the intelligence, didn't Ye Fan go to the Death Sea Area? The perils of the Death Sea Area are well-documented in literature. Currently, we have received no news of Ye Fan's return," another expert from the Dark Alliance explained, immediately dispelling the doubts in Prince Chris's heart.
"You're right, perhaps I'm just overly afraid of Ye Fan. Let's go... Let's head down!"
Chris instantly retracted his suspicions.
The distance from Guangcheng to the Death Sea Area was vast, and moreover, around the perimeter of the Death Sea Area, other powerful individuals from the Soul Hall were operating.
The forces they had contacted, even if they couldn't kill Ye Fan, should at least cause him some trouble.
As Chris gestured for the dark powerhouses to leave, he continued to berate his subordinates, "Call Zhuang Bifan and see, why is there still no movement from Zhuang Bifan's side by now?"
The courtyard was surrounded by the location of the Gu Sect's helipad.
After Chris and his people arrived here, according to the arrangements made by Zhuang Bifan, they were to be received here.
Actually, Zhuang Bifan had already arranged for his secretary to inform Chris and the others that they should immediately go to the Heavenly Prison upon arrival.
Once Chris and the others visited the Heavenly Prison, they would immediately discover that something was amiss.
The key issue was, Zhuang Bifan's secretary, upon realizing that something was wrong, had completely switched allegiance to Cang Lan.
Some orders, naturally, wouldn't be passed on.
Although Chris rejected his own guess, he remained vigilant.
"You guys sit here for a while, I'm going out for a walk!" Chris muttered to himself, and after leaving the reception hall, he quietly headed towards the helipad!
Chris felt that the air tonight was filled with the scent of blood, and he had a very bad feeling.
The familiar elders from the Gu Sect, none of them had come out to welcome him, nor was there any sign of Zhuang Bifan.
So Chris decided to head towards the aircraft first, in case anything was amiss, to immediately take off and leave the scene—at least he needed to save his own life!
...
From the reception to the helipad, the short distance of a few hundred meters seemed normal.
But no sooner had Chris turned a corner than he unexpectedly collided with a young man. Chris was already in a terrible mood, and suddenly being bumped, he flew into a rage, shouting, "You damned fool! Are you blind...bumping into Laotzu, do you know who I am?"
Chris, infuriated, raised his hand, about to slap the young man across the face.
"I'm a distinguished guest of your Sect Hierarch, kneel down and apologize to Laotzu!"
Under the dim streetlight, Chris hadn't seen the newcomer's face clearly at that moment.
Whoosh!
However, the next moment, a searchlight nearby turned on, with Daya and Xiao Ya illuminating the young man's face clearly and brightly with their searchlight!
The words coming out of Chris's mouth had only been half spoken when he was suddenly unable to continue.
"Oh my god... Have I seen a ghost?" Chris felt his entire body go weak, "Ye Fan? This can't be possible... wasn't Ye Fan supposed to be in the Death Sea Area?"
Chris staggered back several steps and even rubbed his eyes several times, looking carefully before confirming it was indeed Ye Fan!
"Damn it..." Chris was completely shocked, let out a shriek, and started running away into the distance...
Why was he so unlucky to accidentally run into this calamity?
What do you think?
