t wouldn't be courage, just stupidity.Ye Bufan's gaze swept over and landed on Si Tu Dian Mo, the captain of the Zhuque Team: "I heard you weren't happy. Come and challenge me""No, I'm convinced."Si T...Yu Maochun left Paradise Island and rushed in the direction indicated by his subordinates.

This guy hesitated not at all. In his eyes, Ye Bufan's painstaking efforts to hold him back was proof that the other party lacked a master capable of matching him in strength.

As long as one can get there fast enough, they will surely be able to catch all those furnace cauldrons.

As for Ye Bufan, even without a sea chart, he couldn't escape this sea area. He would eventually end up in my hands.

After he had crossed the tribulation period, his speed was astonishingly fast. After about half an hour, he arrived at the small island from before.

The moment his feet touched the ground, his expression changed instantly.

More than a hundred furnace cauldrons were present, not one of them moved. They stood there in perfect order, as if waiting for something.

And what surprised him most was the person in the center, who turned out to be Ye Bufan.

"You... how could you be so fast"

Yu Maochun couldn't figure out for the life of him how the other party could have arrived here before him.

Ye Bufan smiled slightly: "Master Yu, I've been waiting for you here for a long time."

He was in complete harmony with his body, mind, and spirit. He knew everything that happened on Paradise Island.

"You...that wasn't you before, was it"

Yu Maochun, being a cunning old fox in the underworld, immediately understood the key point. He had met two Ye Bufan one after another, and there must be one of them who was fake.

"Does it really matter at all."

"Ye Bufan said, 'What we talked about before is still valid. I'll give you one last chance, hand over the sea chart and I'll spare your life.'"

"Hahaha, you brat think you can scare old me with your tricks"

Yu Maochun had a clear understanding of the situation on the island. Although he was shocked by the improvement of Wen Susu and others, the highest cultivation level among them was only at the mid-stage of crossing the tribulation.

And when you reach the Transcending Tribulation stage, although it's only one small level difference, your strength goes from heaven to earth.

And for this very reason, though he stood alone, his heart was filled with unwavering resolve and no trace of fear.

"Surnamed Ye, I'll tell you, this old man will kill you like a chicken. None of them can protect you."

Yu Maochun didn't rush to attack. "Old man, I see you as a talented person. Killing you would be a pity, so I'll give you a chance."

"If you're willing to join my side, old man can make you the deputy leader."

His words were not said idly, but with his own agenda in mind.

The Haisha gang is now greatly weakened and must quickly expand its strength.

And Ye Bufan, no matter what means he used, was able to elevate so many people by a large level in such a short period of time. This kind of strength is simply terrifying.

Once they bring the other party under their wing, the future of the Seasand Gang will be unstoppable. They will inevitably become the most powerful force in the Sea of Demons and Ghosts.

Ye Bufan glanced at him with disdain, "As a respectable physician immortal, I would never associate with scum like you. Don't even mention the title of deputy leader, even if you asked me to be your father, I wouldn't."

"You're asking for it, kid!"

Yu Maochun was truly enraged. His aura erupted explosively, and his entire body soared into the air. He reached out with a hand towards Ye Bufan.

In his eyes, the other party was someone who wouldn't cry until they saw the coffin. As long as they were caught, they would promise anything.

Wen Susu and others stood beside, each holding a sword, already ready for battle.

Seeing Yu Maochun charging towards them, they were about to make a move, but Ye Bufan stopped them with a raised hand.

Then, he stomped his foot lightly on the ground. With a deafening boom, a brilliant light surged from all around, instantly transforming into a gigantic luminous dome that enveloped the entire island.

Yu Maochun was originally full of murderous intent and overwhelming momentum, but just as he was flying halfway, he suddenly felt that the spiritual energy between heaven and earth had instantly solidified. He could no longer absorb even a shred of it.

At the same time, the true essence within his body seemed to have been sealed, no longer able to circulate.

"".

A cultivator who cannot circulate their true energy nor absorb spiritual energy from heaven and earth would face unimaginable terror.

Yu Maochun was immediately panicked, but no matter how hard he tried to use every method available, he still couldn't reverse his true energy.

Followed by an inability to control my body, I plummeted from mid-air and crashed hard onto the ground.

"This... what on earth did you do to me"

Yu Maochun's face was filled with panic, and he no longer had the previous confidence and arrogance.

He was a strong cultivator in the late tribulation stage, able to manipulate true qi. But once he lost it all, he would lose his last support and be no different from an ordinary person.

As he spoke, he racked his brain for ways to revive it, but his dantian remained lifeless and unresponsive.

"Don't waste your effort, it's useless."

Ye Bufan walked over with a smile, "How about it How do you feel about this formation I set up"

What he had set up before was exactly the Nineth-Level Formation Seal Element Array, which was very similar in nature to the ancient formation left behind in the Fairground of Heavenly Saints State.

But that was just a residual effect, limited in its power. This one, however, is capable of completely suppressing the true essence of cultivators.

"You...you..."

Yu Maochun was speechless for a moment. In all his years, he had never heard of an array that could seal one's true energy.

To completely cure someone as strong as himself, a Transcending Tribulation Stage powerhouse, it would take at least a ninth-order cultivator.

But he was also very familiar with this small island. It was usually deserted and uninhabited. How could a ninth-order formation suddenly appear there

Suddenly, he realized the other party was holding him back and refusing to leave in order to set up an ambush during this time.

But, to set up a ninth-order array in such a short time, what kind of array mastery would that take

Only now did he realize he had underestimated the young man before him, and severely so. He was dealing with someone who could very well take his life.

People are beyond imagination in terms of both mental strategy and various methods.

Thinking about this, he sighed: "Young Master Ye, this old man admits defeat. I agree to all the conditions you mentioned before."

Let me go this time, and from now on we'll have nothing to do with each other. Besides, I'm willing to hand over the sea chart.

"As you said, that was under the previous conditions."

Ye Bufan's face contorted into a playful smirk. "Gang Leader Yu, I just gave you one last chance, but unfortunately, you didn't seize it."

"Opportunities aren't always there. Now, even you are under my control. What right do you have to bargain"

After Ye Bufan finished speaking, he extended his hand. With a gesture, Yu Maochun's storage ring landed in his palm.

"You..."

Yu Maochun was filled with unwillingness, but now he had no room to resist.

Ye Bufan ignored him any longer, his divine sense directly swept into the storage ring, and then his expression changed instantly.

This old geezer is indeed a black market robber, he's accumulated so much wealth. There are millions of high-grade spirit stones inside!

And the baby isn't just that, there are also all kinds of refining materials, various spiritual herbs, and all sorts of strange and unusual things.

It seems like we've really struck it rich this time. That old geezer must be untrustworthy, carrying all his treasures with him everywhere.

But then again, it's understandable. What could be safer than the storage ring of a Transcendence Stage expert It's just that no one expected it to end up in their own hands in the end.

Ye Bufan was excitedly counting the treasures in his storage ring when suddenly, his expression froze. His eyes fell upon a small boat.looked at him coldly, "As the academy's chief administrator, don't these people trespassing into other students' residences without permission constitute a violation of the rules""This..."Meng Qing he...
