"Look at yourselves in the image, these overseas cultivators' faces instantly flushed red.
'In the face of evidence, what else do you have to quibble about?' Ye Bufan stepped forward and questioned.
Rupa and Rani exchanged glances, then they both turned to look at the remaining cultivators from Yin Fan. The next second, the three of them instantly disappeared from their positions and fled towards the exit of the underground city.
Seeing Rupa, Rani, and the remaining cultivator fleeing, these overseas cultivators all panicked and prepared to escape through various exits.
'Is this how cultivators are overseas? Didn't they originally want to claim the underground city for themselves?' Song Mingqin smiled slightly, with a hint of disdain on his face.
Bai Zizhen stood in place, silent, but his expression was extremely solemn.
If not for the City Lord Yu Xing, the underground city would likely have been lost today. If Yu Xing were truly gone, Bai Zizhen shuddered at the thought. Moreover, they still hadn't revealed how many cultivators at the late Core Formation stage had arrived.
'Miss Ye, how many powerful cultivators at the late Core Formation stage have come among these overseas cultivators?' Bai Zizhen asked.
Ye Qingyi looked at Ye Bufan and held up three fingers.
'Three?' Bai Zizhen was greatly shocked, never expecting these overseas cultivators to mobilize three late Core Formation stage cultivators to seize the underground city.
'Bang—Bang—Bang—'
With four muffled thuds, the four exits of the underground city were each enveloped by a barrier. The overseas cultivators who tried to escape were bounced back upon hitting the barrier.
The powerful barrier energy, coupled with the fact that they had just emerged from the ancient tower with little stamina, proved to be too much.
Ye Bufan appeared first in front of Rupa, Rani, and the remaining cultivator.
'Give up struggling, and I can let you live a slightly better life in the underground city,' Ye Bufan said.
Rupa looked at Ye Bufan and replied, 'We are not your match, but if the three of us join forces, it's not certain.'
Ye Bufan shook his head helplessly and retorted, 'Ask yourselves now, do you still have any stamina?'
'Illusionary Sound Demonic Eye!'
At this moment, Ye Bufan's Illusionary Sound Demonic Eye was secretly unleashed. Rupa, Rani, and the others instantly reappeared, their faces showing extreme fear.
The cultivator behind them, unable to withstand Ye Bufan's Illusionary Sound Demonic Eye, instantly fainted.
At this moment, Ling'er rushed out from behind and tied up the unconscious person with the Immortal Binding Rope. Then, with a surge of strength, Ling'er tied up Rupa and Rani, who were still trapped by the Illusionary Sound Demonic Eye.
Ling'er nodded at Ye Bufan, who then hurried towards the other exits.
Song Mingqin and Qu Fei, leading Song Xinghai and Yan Se, a total of four people, pursued Johnsen and others from the Ao Zhi Alliance. The Ao Zhi Alliance was left with only Johnsen and another cultivator named Sam.
Two mid-Core Formation cultivators were facing two early-Core Formation cultivators and two half-step Core Formation cultivators, a total of four cultivators.
Song Mingqin, Qu Fei, Yan Se, and Song Xinghai launched their attacks simultaneously. Yan Se and Song Xinghai couldn't withstand a single move and were instantly sent flying by Sam, crashing into the floor and creating a large pit, spitting out large mouthfuls of blood.
Song Mingqin directly used his Sword Qi Domain to confront Sam, while Qu Fei engaged Johnsen. Although Johnsen and Sam had their stamina depleted in the ancient tower, they were more than capable of dealing with early-Core Formation cultivators.
'Heh!' Sam swung a punch towards Song Mingqin. Song Mingqin calmly activated his Sword Qi Domain. Within the domain, the sky filled with sword qi obstructed Sam's movements. Song Mingqin's Scarlet Sword quietly appeared above Sam's head.
'Kill!' Song Mingqin shouted, and the Scarlet Sword transformed into a shooting star, piercing down towards Sam's head. Sam, unhurriedly, rolled to the side.
'Rumble!' A bolt of heavenly lightning descended, startling Song Mingqin, Qu Fei, and the others.
However, this bolt of heavenly lightning struck Sam's head. Ye Bufan appeared behind Sam, with electricity surging around him.
Sam slowly turned his head to look at Ye Bufan, only to see Ye Bufan unleash a palm strike towards him.
'Rumble—'
Another bolt of heavenly lightning appeared out of nowhere. Sam, thinking the attack was aimed at him, moved frantically to the side.
The next second, behind Sam, this bolt of heavenly lightning struck Johnsen. Ye Bufan leisurely moved, his feet traversing the Chaos Steps, his bizarre movement path leaving Sam unable to predict his actions.
'Two Sleeves of Azure Snakes!' Ye Bufan roared, and from behind him, two small, azure snakes covered in sword qi flew out towards Sam and Johnsen.
The azure snakes of sword qi grew larger and larger as they moved at high speed, eventually becoming as tall as a person. They reached Sam, opened their mouths, and swallowed him.
'Break!'
Sam roared, and with a punch from within the azure snake's mouth, he broke free. The next second, Ye Bufan appeared above Sam and stomped on Sam's fist.
'Crack—'
Under Ye Bufan's immense pressure, Sam's hand audibly fractured.
On the other side, Johnsen struggled to break free from the azure snake's mouth.
'Rumble—'
Just as Johnsen was about to breathe a sigh of relief, heavenly lightning suddenly erupted from within the azure snake's mouth and struck Johnsen's chest. Johnsen was sent flying backward, eventually crashing onto the floor, completely incapacitated.
Xun'er arrived at this moment and instantly bound Johnsen with the Immortal Binding Rope.
On the other side, Sam was still unwilling to surrender. Under Ye Bufan's mental pressure, Sam was completely defeated and knelt on the floor, allowing Xun'er to bind him with the Immortal Binding Rope.
'Ye Bufan, well done,' Qu Fei said, looking at Ye Bufan with envious eyes.
On the other side, the remaining individuals were defeated one by one by the spells secretly cast by Ye Qingyi, losing their ability to act.
'Is this the strength of a Nascent Soul stage expert? Without even showing their face, they managed to resolve all these mid and early Core Formation stage cultivators,' Song Mingqin and Qu Fei's eyes were filled with longing.
'Issue an order,' Ye Qingyi said to Xun'er and Ling'er. 'For any cultivators from these regions who wish to ransom their people, they must exchange them for a high-grade Earth-tier or above magical artifact. Otherwise, these people will remain in our Kyushu land forever.'
'Yes!' Xun'er and Ling'er brought the overseas cultivators into the City Lord's mansion.
About half an hour later, the events in the underground city were released to the regions of these eight cultivators, causing an immediate uproar."
