As Ye Bufan and Li Kaobei approached the Taiyan Holy Land, they could see many people gathered in front of the mountain gate from afar, and the atmosphere was unusually lively, as if they had been waiting for a long time.
Everyone's eyes turned towards them.
Many of them quickly recognized Ye Bufan.
In the Eastern Region of Barren Mountain Realm, rumors about him had already spread.
At that time, the three-year agreement was considered a joke by many.
However, no one expected that during these three years, Ye Bufan, while adventuring alone, would actually make a name for himself, and now he was even highly regarded by the Sect Master of Kaoshan Sect, becoming his True Disciple.
It made people envious!
Thus, the three-year agreement once again became a hot topic of discussion, and many people came to the Taiyan Holy Land mountain gate today, apparently to witness this good show!
"Look quickly! Ye Bufan is here!"
"The show is starting! Everyone, I am from the Wang Family branch of the Myriad Domains Chamber of Commerce. When I heard about the three-year agreement, I, Wang, greatly admired Young Hero Ye's courage. Today, I will be the bookmaker... Come, come, everyone place your bets! Ye Bufan's odds are 1:1.5, Yun Family Saintess's are 1:2..."
"I bet on Ye Bufan!"
"I'll bet too!"
Ye Bufan and Li Kaobei were slightly stunned by the sight, not expecting such a scene.
Seeing this, Ye Bufan's mouth curved into an exaggerated arc!
When had he ever enjoyed such treatment?
Being surrounded by people, being the center of attention... This feeling truly made him intoxicated!
He took a steady step forward with his right foot and shouted towards the mountain gate: "I am Ye Bufan, a True Disciple of Kaoshan Sect! I am here today to fulfill the three-year agreement from back then..."
Slap!
With a loud bang, Ye Bufan was sent flying by a powerful force, sweeping several meters horizontally and falling heavily to the ground.
Only then did a man appear in the field.
He wore a green-faced, fanged mask, and the golden characters "Heaven Guard" were embroidered on the chest of his black robe.
He looked at Ye Bufan with a playful gaze, and said mockingly: "Oh, I know, I know, why are you shouting so loudly?"
Ye Bufan scrambled up from the ground, a bright red handprint on his right cheek, and bloodstains around his nose, mouth, and eyes.
His entire face was swollen and distorted, like a pig's head.
Rage surged in his chest, almost erupting.
"Who? Who are you!?"
He roared.
However, when his gaze swept around, the man had already vanished without a trace.
Li Kaobei, who was beside him, was also dumbfounded.
To think that he, a True King Realm expert, hadn't even noticed how the other party had made his move?
And then he disappeared in the blink of an eye... A wave of fear surged in his heart.
This meant that the man's cultivation was far superior to his own!
Ye Bufan, on the other hand, was like a mad dog, crazed with anger, shouting everywhere: "Who just hit me? If you have the guts, come out! Are you afraid to admit what you did?"
"Come out!!!"
The surrounding crowd was also stunned by the sight, not knowing what had happened.
"Who is shouting and yelling here? What an outrage!"
A low shout broke the silence.
Just as Ye Bufan was seething with anger, Yun He Tai, the Holy Lord of Taiyan Holy Land, accompanied by Yun Yaman and a group of attendants, slowly arrived at the mountain gate.
Seeing this, Li Kaobei immediately sent a stream of Spiritual Qi into Ye Bufan's body.
That clear stream of Spiritual Qi gradually calmed Ye Bufan's mind, but the towering rage on his face remained evident.
After taking a deep breath, Li Kaobei stepped forward and respectfully said: "Holy Lord Yun, I am Li Kaobei, the Sect Master of Kaoshan Sect. I have come today to fulfill the three-year agreement for my disciple, Ye Bufan..."
...Barren Mountain Realm, above the clouds.
Nine white jade Azure Dragons were quietly stationed around the carriage, their Qi engulfing thousands of miles.
Inside the carriage.
Jiang Ye was comfortably enjoying the service of two beautiful women when suddenly, a pleasant voice sounded in his mind.
Ding! The Protagonist of Destiny, Ye Bufan, was slapped into a pig's head, utterly humiliated, his Dao Heart damaged, and his Luck value decreased by 50 points!
Congratulations to Master for gaining +50 Villain Points!
"Jiang Shisan, well done!" Jiang Ye said faintly to outside the carriage.
"To be loyal to Your Highness the Divine Son is our duty!"
A respectful reply came from outside.
At this moment, a man and a woman walked towards the carriage from outside.
The man had an ordinary appearance and wore Jiang Clan attire; the woman had a decent face and a passable figure, but her face showed a hint of unease and panic.
The man knelt on one knee.
The woman, however, prostrated herself completely, hands on the ground, in a submissive posture, her gaze lowered, not daring to look directly.
"Your Highness the Divine Son, I have brought Liu Mei, who is Ye Bufan's birth mother!" the man said in a low voice.
"Oh? What is your relationship with her?"
Jiang Ye asked indifferently.
"Your Highness the Divine Son may dispose of her as you wish!"
The person who came was a member of the Jiang Family, Jiang Yangzhou, an garrison deacon arranged by the Jiang Clan in other Dao Domains.
More than ten years ago, it was this person who abducted Ye Bufan's mother.
According to investigations, this woman also had dirty hands.
In a Secret Realm in the Barren Mountain Realm, Liu Mei and Jiang Yangzhou had a conflict, which caused Jiang Yangzhou to miss a great Opportunity. In a fit of rage, after killing the high-ranking members of the Ye Family, he took Liu Mei to serve as a mining slave.
In short.
Jiang Yangzhou did not want to kill her directly at that time, but rather wanted to torment her in this way to vent his hatred.
As for whether this woman suffered other abuse?
Jiang Ye didn't care.
Anyway, she was a goner.
Moreover, he always favored his own people over what was right.
"Hehe, the show is about to begin..."
A cruel smile appeared on Jiang Ye's lips. He took out the baseball bat gifted by the System and casually swung it twice in the air... Above the mountain city.
In the vast open space, Li Kaobei was conversing with Yun He Tai and others.
Upon seeing the person he had yearned for for three years, the anger in Ye Bufan's heart subsided considerably, and his gaze fixed hotly on Yun Yaman.
Yun Yaman also looked at him.
Her expression was calm, without much reaction, only a slight smile out of politeness.
Seeing this, Ye Bufan's heart immediately warmed.
Yun Yaman actually smiled at him just now?
That smile made him feel a long-lost warmth!
Indeed!
Even after so much time, she still hasn't forgotten me! It was worth all my hard work in Cultivating!
Yaman, watch closely later!
I, Ye Bufan, will surely let you see my potential. In the future, I will definitely become the Dominator of the Barren Mountain Realm, and take you to the Upper Realm to conquer the world!
"Disciple, why are you spacing out? Holy Lord Yun has agreed to fulfill the agreement from back then, you can go on stage!"
Li Kaobei stepped forward and said to Ye Bufan, while also transmitting a private message.
"You must remain calm, fight steadily, and slowly gain the upper hand. I observe that that little girl is not simple either; at such a young age, her cultivation has reached the Purple Mansion Realm Eighth Layer! You have only just advanced to Purple Mansion, so you must make good use of your Bloodfiend Divine Body! The longer the battle drags on, the higher your chances of winning!"
His beautiful fantasies were interrupted, and Ye Bufan was also stunned to learn this information.
He dared not be overconfident anymore and his expression became serious.
Stepping onto the temporarily erected arena, he stood in the center and said solemnly:
"Yaman, I know you have also improved very quickly in these three years, but now I am also no longer the same..."
"Roar!!!"
"Roar roar roar!!!"
Ye Bufan's moment of showing off was forcefully interrupted by nine earth-shattering Dragon roars.
Nine white jade Azure Dragons broke through the sky from the clouds, causing the clouds to churn. Their bodies were as massive as mountains, their Dragon scales shimmered with crystal clear light, their Qi engulfed thousands of miles, as if they could tear apart heaven and earth, and the surrounding air seemed to momentarily freeze.
Immediately after.
A resplendent carriage, like a moving palace, slowly descended.
The carriage body was incredibly luxurious, with thousands of dazzling gems inlaid on its surface, and Dragon and Phoenix totems carved into its body. Every detail exuded supreme nobility and majesty.
The carriage was engraved with an ancient character "Jiang", whose meaning was known throughout all the Heavens.
Suddenly.
Jiang Yi's tall figure appeared in mid-air, looking down at the crowd below as if they were ants.
"The Divine Son of the Longevity Immortal Clan, Jiang Family, has descended upon the Barren Mountain Realm!"
"You all..."
"Why do you not quickly prostrate yourselves in welcome?!"
The Quasi-Emperor aura on his body was fully displayed, and his voice carried the pressure of Imperial Might, making everyone's legs go soft.
