Feng and his nephew, so he had never contacted him.Hu YaoYao followed up, saying, "That's right, the responsibility for this lies with the academy. And there's still some time until the exchange compe...Ye Bufan once again looked at the Lu family members present: "I know some people are not convinced, but I advise you, before making any trouble, it's best to kill me. Otherwise, you won't be able to bear the consequences."

In the midst of their conversation, a murderous aura once again surged from him. He had practically walked out of a mountain of corpses and a sea of blood over this long period. The sheer intensity of his killing intent left these people struggling to breathe.

Everyone in the Lu family hung their heads low and kept silent. Lu Xiaogong quickly said, "Physician Ye, please rest assured, all of us in the Lu family will obey your orders without question."

"May you all be of one heart and mind."

Ye Bufan turned back and took out the Zhulong Sword, handing it to Liu Yue'niao.

"This sword always belonged to the teacher. Now I give it to you to take care of."

Having said that, he pulled out another jade slip. "This is the Heavenly Craftsmanship Alchemy Technique left by my master before his death. If you think any of the disciples from the Lu family have the talent for it, feel free to pass it on."

He was very clear that managing a large family wasn't easy, requiring both firmness and flexibility, as well as the balance of kindness and severity.

He has already sufficiently intimidated these Lu family members, and now he is entrusting the Heavenly Craftsmanship Refining Technique to Liu Yue'niao to keep.

The Lu family bases its existence on blacksmithing, and the celestial craftsmanship of forging is undoubtedly a great temptation for them. As long as Liu Yue'n has this thing in her hand, she will definitely be showered with favors and flattery in the future.

"Thanks, Doctor Ye Xian!"

Liu Yue'ning wanted to bow in thanks, but Ye Bufan stopped her.

"You're welcome, it was all part of my teacher's last wish."

Upon hearing of Lu Chaozong's passing, Liu Yuenniao couldn't help but weep.

Everything was in order, after the alchemy competition ended and the Lu family members left, they all began to busily prepare for tomorrow's funeral.

According to Ye Bufan's request, this time must be carried out according to the highest standards of the Lu family.

Now that Lu Chaoyang has been taken down, the rest of the Lu family are living in fear, not daring to be even slightly careless, for fear of accidentally angering this ominous figure before them.

The next day, another major event happened in Lu City: the burial of Lu Chao Zong, the god of the Kunlun artifact.

This funeral was grand and elaborate, starting in the morning with the highest level of respect. Nearly a thousand members of the Lu family, from top to bottom, all wore mourning clothes and headbands.

Although she wasn't officially part of the family, Liu Yue-niao attended the funeral as a wife, holding Ru Chao-zong's ashes in her hands.

The venerable Elder Lu Xiaogong personally presided over the ceremony. After a complicated series of rituals, the ashes were finally laid to rest in the cemetery.

Lu Chao's tomb was built overnight, also following the most top-tier specifications.

Unlike others, the grave is marked by two stone stelae: one indicating his identity according to the Lu clan's requirements, and the other reading "Tomb of Lu Chaozong, Divine Weapon of Kunlun."

After the burial was over, Ye Bufan beckoned to the side. Jiang Fangzhou immediately picked up Lu Chaoyang, who looked like a dead dog.

"You cannot kill me, I am the head of the Lu family!"

Lu Chao yang screamed hysterically, his previous demeanor as the head of the family gone. His face was etched with resentment and fear.

"Head of the Lu family"

Ye Bufan looked at him with a cold smile. "Like you, who killed your brother and father with schemes, you don't even deserve to be a human, let alone the head of the Lu family."

"Now I'm sending you on your way. When you get down there, confess to my teacher properly!"

Ye Bufan said, as a cold light flashed in his hand, Lu Zhaozong's head instantly flew up and landed in the sacrificial dish in front of the grave.

The former head of the Lu family, a ninth-rank alchemist, was thus treated as a sacrifice and slaughtered. Everyone present watched in fear.

Ye Bufan didn't care what others thought. Lu Chaoyang had done too many bad things and deserved his fate. Using him to commemorate the teacher was the most appropriate choice.

He then kowtowed three times respectfully before the grave. This time, the funeral was finally over.

On the third day, the Lu family held a ceremony for the succession of the head of the family. Liu Yelan replaced Lu Chaoyang as the new head, and all the prominent families in Lu City came to celebrate.

These people were not looking at Liu Yue'n, but the deity standing behind her.

A master blacksmith capable of forging divine artifacts, a divine physician who can make someone breakthrough three realms with a snap of his fingers, and a powerful being whose cultivation has reached the peak of Great Perfection.

Just one of these three things would be enough to make people all over the world look up to her, and it's even more amazing that she's only in her twenties.

The future is brimming with possibilities, a path destined for greatness. Anyone with sense will do everything they can to curry favor.

Ye Bufan didn't reject this at all. This was exactly the kind of momentum he wanted. The higher his own status, the more secure Liu Yue's position would be in the future.

After the ceremony of the new master's succession, he stayed in Lu City for another day, refining many pills for Liu Yue'niao and leaving many cultivation resources for Chen Youyou, enough for her to cultivate to the Void Core Stage at least.

After completing all of this and bidding farewell to the townspeople, Chen Kangnian left. As he watched his departing figure, Chen Kangnian's heart was filled with a mixture of emotions.

I originally thought the other party was trying to be with my daughter, but it turns out I'm completely out of their league. There is a huge gap between us.

Ye Bufan didn't have time to pay attention to these things. Since the affairs of Tiansheng State had been dealt with, he needed to hurry to Jueqing Valley in Tianmang State to bring back Yi Luo Xiang.

Standing at the bow of the ship in the ninth heaven, my thoughts are racing. In a blink of an eye, it has been seven or eight months since I arrived on the Kunlun Continent.

Thinking of that familiar home and my loved ones, the longing in my heart grows stronger. I can't wait to go back immediately.

But ideas are ideas, and reality is reality. Some important things need to be done right now.

First, gather seven multicolored jade stones. Then, locate the missing Ye Tian, Situ Dianmo, and others.

We all must return to Earth together from the Kunlun Continent. No one can be left behind here.

Besides, there is that savage king Qingye. If he truly became pregnant with his own child, then by now he would be nearing childbirth.

He patted his forehead, he couldn't believe that he was about to become a father out of the blue.

At the beginning, King Qingye told him that he should not go to the Barbarian race before reaching the Great Ascension stage. Now, it seems that he also meets the conditions.

It seems I'll have to make one more trip to the barbarian lands before leaving. I need to take this woman and child with me.

In a state of complicated emotions, Jiutian arrived at the teleportation array's location.

Ye Bufan received the nine people from Tiangong and walked inside. The teleportation array belonged to the Ju Bao Pavilion's industry, so the charging standards for each state were the same. A small one cost 10,000 high-grade spirit stones.

After paying the fee, everyone stepped onto the teleportation array together. A burst of light flashed, and when the light faded, they had arrived on the land of Tianmang Prefecture.

Ye Bufan led everyone off the teleportation array, feeling that the spiritual energy here was a bit more intense than in Tiansheng Prefecture.

A few people stepped out, but as soon as they left the door, they were blocked by seven or eight people.

"Stop, have you paid up"

At the head of the group was a thin man with a scar across his face, who aggressively stopped everyone.

Ye Bufan sized up the few people in front of him. The scar-faced man was at the mid-stage of the Hè Tì realm, and the rest were at the early stage.

One couldn't help but feel a pang of emotion. The strength of Tianmang Prefecture was indeed formidable. A cultivator at the Nascent Soul Stage would be considered a master in Tiandao Prefecture, but here, they were merely street thugs and hooligans.

The scar-faced man smirked and said arrogantly, "That money you're talking about is for the teleportation array. We have nothing to do with it."

If you want to enter Tianmang Prefecture, you must pay the toll here. Otherwise, don't even think about leaving!in Zhudao. At this moment, Yin Weiyong's expression had reached its limit of displeasure.As the most powerful of the three major factions, he had previously thought that he would be able to maintain h...
