ived in the Imperial City, someone would contact us within three days."Ye Bufan's newly ignited hope was dashed once again. The other party was far too cautious, leaving no useful information whatsoev...After Ye Bufan finished speaking, Zheng Wei's eyes flickered uncertainly, and then said: "It's really absurd. If anyone could kill someone at will, they would come up with such a set of words."

He insisted that people weren't actually dead, they were just faking it, and then put a conspiracy label on them. Wouldn't that cause chaos in the world What use would our rules be then

Ye Bufan gave him a meaningful look: "Elder Zheng seems reluctant to believe what I say"

"Could it be that I don't believe, but the person is already dead, the body is right here in front of us, your words are completely unfounded."

Zheng Wei looked at everyone present. "I'm afraid not only I, Zheng, don't believe it, but even the Grand Overseer and all of you here wouldn't believe your outlandish claims."

Zhang He looked at him with piercing eyes: "Words without proof, how can we believe what you say"

Zheng Wei followed up, "That's right, you can't just spout a few random words and expect to escape punishment."

"Seems like you think I can't break through his fake death trick," Ye Bufan chuckled playfully at Zheng Wei, then turned to Zhang He, "It's simple, give me a quarter of an hour, and I can bring this person back to life."

"Is this possible Could it be that this young man is telling the truth It all sounds so outlandish…"

"I don't believe it. At his age, his medical skills couldn't possibly be that good, let alone being proficient in the art of resurrection..."

"Kids, this lie is too flimsy, it's going to be busted right away..."

The crowd buzzed with more discussion, this time laced with skepticism.

Zhang He said: “For fairness’ sake, to convince you, I'll give you fifteen minutes.”

Ye Bufan said: "Thank you, Grand Elder. If I bring this person back to life, I ask the Elders' Hall to give Tianfeng Empire justice."

Zhang He naturally understood the meaning in his words, and nodded, saying, "Of course."

Ye Bufan said no more, striding towards Xia Zhe's corpse. The crowd around him parted ways.

Zheng Wei stood beside, a barely perceptible smirk playing at the corner of his mouth.

All of this is his doing behind the scenes. Xia Zhe became like this because he took his fake death pill.

This kind of pill he bought back at an auction for a hefty sum. He originally wanted to have it on hand just in case, and kept it inside his ring without using it. Today, he took it out specifically to deal with Ye Bufan.

This kind of pill, once ingested, rapidly cuts off all life force. Within three days, it makes one indistinguishable from the dead.

Even if he was found out, he wasn't worried. He was sure the other party couldn't do anything to him. He didn't believe that this young man in his twenties really had the ability to bring someone back from the dead.

Ye Bufan ignored the crowd beside him. He reached out and took out a needle bag, then moved like lightning, inserting silver needles into Xia Zhe's acupoints one by one.

Everyone around turned to look here, including several others on the surrounding sword-fighting platforms. Even after the competition ended, they all gathered to see the outcome of this match.

In almost the blink of an eye, Ye Bufan had plunged a hundred silver needles into Xia Zhe's body. However, despite this, Xia Zhe still lay on the ground like a corpse, showing no signs of change whatsoever.

As time passes bit by bit, the one-hour limit is reached in the blink of an eye.

Zheng Yiheng was a bit nervous at first, but now seeing no movement, he immediately laughed with pride.

"Leaf, in an hour's time at most, he will be here. By then your lies will be exposed. Then we'll see what you have to say."

Although others didn't speak, they all shook their heads, thinking that such a thing was too unbelievable and impossible.

Ye Bufan, however, remained calm and collected, showing no signs of anxiety whatsoever.

Seeing that time was almost up, he reached out and withdrew all one hundred silver needles. Then, with a kick, he struck Xia Zhe's abdomen.

"On your marks!"

As soon as the words left his mouth, Xia Zhe opened his mouth and spat out a mouthful of black blood. Then he opened his eyes and looked around in confusion.

"How, has three days passed"

When he agreed to take the fake death pill, the Zheng family promised him countless benefits and repeatedly assured him that he would definitely wake up in three days.

Now that he had regained his senses, he instinctively blurted out.

Seeing the dead person suddenly sit up and speak, the onlookers were stunned.

"My goodness, resurrection! It's actually a resurrection!"

“He was already dead, but this young man brought him back to life. What incredible medical skills…”

"People are right, this wasn't a death by beating, it was a deliberate frame-up..."

At the same time, the expressions of several people around them instantly changed. The people from the Tianfeng Empire were ecstatic. Having exposed the other party's conspiracy, their own side wouldn't be expelled.

The Zheng family's faces turned ashen. Zheng Wei's face was dark and sullen, as if he could drip water at any moment.

I originally thought that this expensive fake death pill would be foolproof, but I never expected that Ye Bufan would actually wake up Xia Zhe.

But there was no way, he hadn't thought about directly poisoning Xia Zhe with poison before. But once poisoned to death, it would be easy for people to notice something was wrong, and then it would be a loss.

At this moment, Ye Bufan looked at him with a slight smile: "Elder Zheng, are you a little disappointed"

Zheng Wei was indeed a veteran who had seen many battles. At this moment, he instantly changed his expression, bursting into a dazzling smile.

Dean Ye is right, as long as he's okay.

Just now, the old man was also worried about my students. In a moment of panic, my words were somewhat offensive. Please forgive me.

"It's all over now, it's okay, it's okay!"

Zheng Wei originally wanted to muddy the waters and flip through this page, but Ye Bufan could never let him pass so easily.

He turned his head to look at Zhang He: "Grand Elder, this matter, shouldn't the Tianfeng Empire give me an explanation"

"Rest assured, the Disciplinary Committee will naturally give you justice."

His voice was soft, yet it carried an immeasurable weight of authority.

"Uh..."

Only then did Xia Zhe come to his senses. He took in his surroundings and realized that things were not over, it wasn't three days later after all.

"I... I..."

He wanted to defend himself, but once this kind of thing was exposed, where could he find a reason

"You are audacious! To dare to use such vile means to frame others during a competition, do you know what you have done"

Although Zhang He was just a eunuch, as a strong expert in the Dongxu Realm, he naturally had his own authority.

Xia Zhe could no longer bear the pressure, falling to his knees with a thud: “Master, I was wrong! It was a lapse of reason, please forgive me this once.”

Zhongli Mei said: "What's going on here Explain it to me clearly!"

"I said it all," Xia Zhe quickly said, "I took the fake death pill and pretended to be dead to frame Tianfeng Empire, causing the Elders' Hall to revoke their qualifications."

Ye Bufan said: "We have no grievances with you from afar, and we have no enmity recently. Is it necessary for you to scheme against us like this"

"Tell me, who sent you"

All eyes turned to them. Normally, an empire like the Chiyoda Empire wouldn't have a chance of making it out.

Xia Zhe has no reason to take such a big risk to frame the Tianfeng Empire. There must be someone behind this pulling the strings.lace's responsibilities. If anyone from Yunxiashan comes again, we will handle it."Ye Bufan said, "I'm just a little curious, can't figure out what they really want to do.""If it's just about accumula...
