truly are quite capable." Iroko voiced her admiration once more, "Even if it were Ouyang De wielding the blade, it wouldn't possess this level of power."Ye Bufan stood on the Dragon King Stage, his...Everyone stopped their steps and turned to look back. They saw a tall young man running up from behind.

Although dressed in outdoor sportswear, every piece was a high-end brand with a hefty price tag.

With short cropped hair, a proud expression, and steps as swift as the wind, he was clearly a martial artist, though his level wasn't high, just at the Xuan rank.

Behind him followed four powerful middle-aged men, their cultivation even higher, having already reached the Earth Rank.

To have such a powerful bodyguard speaks volumes about this young man's status.

He strode up to Ouyang Jing, a hint of anger on his face.

"Ouyang Jing, what are you doing Why did you just leave without saying anything"

"Your phone was still off. If I hadn't used my family connections, I wouldn't have been able to find you at all!"

Ye Bufan's expression darkened: "What are you, to speak to my sister like that"

Although her family wasn't well-off before, Ouyang Jing was the little princess at home. Both her and Ouyang Lan doted on her dearly. How could she possibly be reprimanded like this

Later, when he inherited the legacy of the ancient medical school, his status rose steadily, and his sister became an untouchable sore spot.

Seeing that the boss was unhappy, Jiang Fangzhou immediately rolled up his sleeves, ready to fight.

"Brother, don't be angry. This is my friend."

Ouyang Jing stopped Ye Bufan and looked at the young man in front of her with displeasure. “Li Shuo, we’re just ordinary friends. Do I need your permission to do what I want”

Li Shuo's attention shifted from Ouyang Jing to Ye Bufan.

"Xiaojing, is this your brother"

Ou Yang Jing said with a stern face, "Li Shuo, how many times have I told you, we're just ordinary friends, there's no need to be so intimate. "

"This is my brother, Ye Bufan. We're going into the mountains for an adventure now. Do you have anything else to do If not, please go back."

Li Shu immediately changed his demeanor, wearing a flattering expression: "Come on, Xiao Jing, why are you so cold "

You also know my heart, I traveled far and wide from the provincial city here just to find you.

As they spoke, his eyes secretly darted to Nan Lan Yu Jia and Si Tu Dian Mo beside him. His eyes glistened with light, overflowing with an uncontainable desire.

The only target now is Ouyang Jing, and it's best not to make things too obvious for other people.

"It's fine, we're just ordinary friends."

Ou Yang Jing refused very decisively, without any hesitation, "I don't care what you're doing, my brother and I are going into the mountains."

After saying that, she turned around and took Ye Bufan's arm, walking towards the mountains.

"Wait a minute, I'll go with you."

Li Shuo had no intention of giving up. He had been pursuing Ouyang Jing for a long time.

While coveting the other party's appearance is secondary, the ultimate goal is to merge Bufan Investment's industries in northern Hubei into the Li family.

Even after so long, Ouyang Jing had always kept a distance from him, making it impossible for him to succeed.

Now that he's arrived in Shennongjia, it seems to him his chance has finally come.

It's better to win someone's heart through charm and persuasion, rather than resorting to force. Trying to take advantage of someone won't lead to a happy relationship in the long run.

He kept close to Ouyang Jing, saying: "Little Jing, you may not know this, but Shennongjia is very dangerous. "

There are all sorts of wild beasts and even cavemen roaming around in there. It's very unsafe for you to be alone. Let me stay with you and protect you.

"I am a Xuan-ranked warrior, I can protect your safety no matter what happens..."

"No, my brother will protect me."

Ouyang Jing refused again.

She has been patient and refrained from a complete break with the other party because many of Notorious Investment's businesses have dealings with the Li family. She doesn't want her personal issues to affect her brother's industry.

"That's different, your brother looks like a weak scholar, how could he possibly protect you."

Li Shuo reached out and knocked on his muscular chest, "A man should be like me. You know, I'm a powerful martial artist. That's how you feel secure, that's how you have the ability to protect the women you love."

As soon as he finished speaking, everyone around him burst into laughter. Hu Yaoyao laughed so hard that she was shaking, charming and disarming everyone.

A martial artist of the Xuan rank, at most equivalent to the Qi Condensation stage, actually mocked a powerful being at the peak of the Tribulation Transcendence stage. This is probably the biggest joke in this realm.

Li Shuo was completely baffled, utterly confused, and had no idea what the other person was laughing at.

With his strength, he couldn't tell at all how powerful these people in front of him were, naturally thinking they were just ordinary people.

Ye Bufan was too lazy to pay attention to such an ant-like existence. He pulled up Ouyang Jing and walked forward.

Since the other party is willing to follow, let them follow.

Li Shuo said unrelentingly from behind, "Xiao Jing, you should also want to see that sinkhole, right I'll tell you, it's been restricted over there. Without my Li family's connections, you wouldn't be able to get in at all."

Today's hot topic is making waves throughout China, with many people aware and curious. Many want to come and see for themselves, it's easy to guess this.

Ouyang Jing didn't even turn back, coldly stating: "My business is none of yours."

In her eyes, her own brother was omnipotent. Even if he couldn't reach the Tiankeng, it wouldn't be a big deal to just go back.

Seeing the other party act so disrespectfully, Li Shuo's face darkened considerably, his expression full of anger.

A middle-aged bodyguard beside him said, "Young master, there's no need to get angry with these ordinary people. When danger comes, they'll come running to us themselves."

He had been to Shennongjia before. The mountains were high and the water was dangerous, the roads were extremely difficult to travel, and all kinds of wild beasts and venomous snakes lurked there, something ordinary people couldn't cope with at all.

That's why, in his eyes, Ye Bufan and the others were completely fearless ignoramuses. They would only know the true power of this place when they got inside.

"Well said, I'll see how they come crawling to young master later."

Li Shuo let out a cold snort and followed behind with four subordinates.

Ye Bufan and the others continued on their journey. The mountain path presented no difficulty for them at all; it was just like walking on flat ground.

Everyone strolled leisurely, taking in the scenery as they went. Their pace was entirely dictated by Ouyang Jing.

Although Ou Yang Jing had previously taken Qi-Strengthening and Bone-Hardening Pills, enhancing her physique beyond that of an ordinary person, she was still no match for a true martial artist.

Soon, Li Shuo and his companions arrived at the front, looking relaxed and complacent, gloatingly watching those behind them.

"You guys are too slow, how long will it take to get to the sky pit at this rate"

"Xiaojing, why don't I carry you That way we can get there much faster."

"Want to get this done quickly That's easy."

Ye Bufan gave a playful smirk and shoved a pill into his sister's mouth.

Ouyang Jing didn't even ask what it was. She had absolute trust in her brother and knew he wouldn't hurt her.

As the pill entered his mouth, a heat flow surged up from his lower abdomen and quickly coursed through his body.

"Don't think about anything, I'm transmitting a set of martial arts techniques to you now. Just remember the route of practice."

Ye Bufan spoke, sending a strand of true qi into Ouyang Jing's body, guiding the internal heat flow to begin circulating.

With his current abilities, helping an ordinary person improve their cultivation would be as easy as the back of his hand.

Over time, Ouyang Jing first completed the alchemy, then built her foundation, and finally a brilliant golden elixir formed in her lower abdomen.

At the same time, their pace quickened as they journeyed deeper into Shennongjia.ately, but she was just an ordinary person. How could she possibly be a match for these martial artists She had no ability to resist at all.The young man, with a smug look on his face, was about to le...
