now remembering that something was wrong.Guan Chengfang's expression grew increasingly gloomy: "And those guards brought by Lady Laiyang, and Yuan Qi's personal soldiers, were they easily dealt with...After seeing the handwriting on the note, Hua Qiqi panicked immediately and lost her composure.

Since she returned to the Alchemist's Guild, she felt a change in her mood.

Half her mind was preoccupied with the chairman's illness, while the other half found itself constantly recalling that handsome face, a man who kept appearing in her thoughts.

That day's scene in the cave, the image of the two people kissing, is as if it were carved into my mind. It keeps popping up from time to time, like a persistent memory I can't shake off.

Huo Qiqi had no experience with emotions and thought this was just a coincidence, that it would pass after a while.

When she saw the note, her heart, which had been as solid as a rock, shattered in an instant.

The whole person was panicked, wishing to rush over immediately, even if it meant risking his own life for that man.

In short, never let that man hurt himself, that was the only thought in his mind.

Without any hesitation, she immediately left the Alchemist's Guild and rushed towards Dan Ding Mountain.

And just as she rose into the air, a figure in black from the shadows smirked.

Hua Qiqi didn't care about that much, even her usual vigilance dropped to the lowest point, and she didn't notice the person hiding.

Her fairy essence churned wildly within her, pushing her speed to the limit.

There was only one thought in her heart, Ye Bufan couldn't die. Even if she had to give her life, she would save him.

As for how to save himself, whether he has the ability, and whether he can save people, he doesn't consider it at all.

A chaotic mind, barely able to think rationally.

Dan Ding Shan is still quite far from Ling Xiao Xian Cheng. Even if she was a late-stage Immortal Emperor, she would have to give it her all to ensure she could arrive within an hour.

Running all the way, Hua Qiqi finally saw the mountains in the night from afar.

Looking from afar, Mount Dan Ding resembles a giant furnace tripod, hence its name.

However, this place is rather remote and the spiritual energy here is relatively thin. There are no signs of human habitation within a considerable radius.

Hua Qiqi arrived at Dan Ding Mountain and saw a figure with their hands clasped behind them standing on the peak.

This person was not tall, but standing there gave one a great sense of oppression. Especially the aura emanating from him, it was more powerful than oneself, he was undoubtedly a powerhouse at the peak of the Immortal Emperor level.

But this was to be expected. It would take a powerful figure at the peak of the Immortal Emperor level to capture Ye Bufan after he had slain Shi Kai.

While Lingxiao Sect is one of the Five Great Sects of Upper Celestial Realm, there are more than just one strong individuals of various levels.

Then her eyes darted around, searching for Ye Bufan's shadow, but after looking for a long time, she couldn't find him.

"Little girl, don't look anymore, he's right here!"

The man, having said that, turned around. In the darkness, his eyes were incredibly sharp.

With a wave of his hand, the restriction on the nearby mountain peak was lifted. A figure in black robes hovered in mid-air.

That person had disheveled hair and blood all over their body. From this distance, it was impossible to make out their features at all.

Even so, Hua Qiqi still recognized him at once. This person was completely different from Ye Bufan, both in figure and aura.

That is to say, he was the one who got fooled, or perhaps the other party had arrested the wrong person all along, and subconsciously, he believed that the person they caught was Ye Bufan.

After confirming it wasn't him, the worry in her heart vanished instantly, and she quickly regained her previous calmness and wisdom.

"May I ask if you are a senior from the Lingxiao Sect I wonder what brings you to seek out Qiqi"

That Immortal Emperor at his peak said, "Old man Shitu, I am Shikai's elder brother."

Hearing the name Shi Tu, Hua Qiqi's heart sank. Although she had never met him before, his reputation was well-known throughout the land.

Even among the powerful masters of Lingxiao Sect, he was a veteran powerhouse. It is said that thousands of years ago, he had already reached the peak of Immortal Emperor.

He had just been in seclusion for many years, nothing major would cause him to leave the Lingxiao sect, who would have thought that Shi Kai and his brother were actually related.

Things are getting complicated now. Since Shi Tu personally stepped in, this matter is definitely not going to be resolved easily.

A tempest raged within his heart, yet his countenance remained unruffled.

As a celestial alchemist, what she values most is mental fortitude and state of mind. As long as it doesn't involve Ye Bufan's safety, her heart remains incredibly strong.

"The Alchemist's Guild, seven-seven has arrived, to see Senior Shi."

As she spoke, she gracefully offered a bow.

Shi Tu, however, ignored him. His expression was cold, his gaze like a knife, without the slightest fluctuation.

"Do you know who killed my brother"

Hua Qizi hurriedly shook her head: "Junior doesn't know, yesterday I heard that Senior Shi met with misfortune, and my heart was quite shocked."

"Little girl, at this hour, you still pretend before the old man It's useless."

Shitu's voice was cold and hard, devoid of any emotion.

"There's no need for any secrecy between us. My brother left the Lingxiao Sect this time to kill you."

But you returned unharmed, while he died. Do you say this has nothing to do with you

"Senior, what do you mean I haven't provoked the Lingxiao Sect, why would you want to kill me"

Hu Qiqi said, "I returned to the Alchemist's Guild all the way and didn't see Senior Shi Kai. I really don't know what happened."

"I don't know"

A sinister glint flashed in Shi Tu's eyes, and a murderous aura suddenly erupted from him.

"If, for some reason, you heard that I was going to execute the culprit and rushed here immediately"

Hua Qiqi remained composed: "I'm just curious as to who has the audacity to attack Senior Shi of Lingxiao Sect. I came here to see for myself."

I'm also surprised why I was told this, if there's any misunderstanding, I hope to explain it clearly to my seniors.

Shi Tu said coldly: “When you first arrived, your expression was so urgent”

When he saw the fake that I had prepared, he immediately regained his composure and showed no signs of panic whatsoever.

Hearing these words, Hua Qiqiao's heart sank. Her previous reaction was a major flaw, and it was hard to explain.

Shi Tu continued, "I received the news and rushed here as soon as possible. I didn't even notify those old fellows from the Alchemist Guild."

This means that you not only recognize the perpetrator who killed my brother, but that your relationship is also very close.

"Just tell me honestly, who killed my brother Shi Kai"

At this point, he seemed to lose control of his murderous intent. With a wave of his hand, the cloaked figure hovering in mid-air instantly exploded into a cloud of blood mist, not even having time to scream.

Hua Qiqi tried her best to maintain her composure, but her face was still a little pale.

“I don't know what the senior is talking about, nor have I ever seen Shi Kai. I don't even know who killed him.”

"Stubborn!"

"Just admit the criminal's name, and I will give you a quick death. Otherwise, you will suffer endless torture and live worse than death!"ther, especially the top disciples.
