Chapter 2177: The Lone Cultivator, Dugu Xiu

realized that his luck was not very good today. He drove the car without going anywhere else and went straight to Jiangnan Ruhuaxiu Apartment.He had only just gone halfway when, all of a sudden, thre...Ye Bufan and Ye Erlang pushed their speed to the limit. The guards in the palace, startled by the sudden movement, barely had time to see what was happening before the two zipped past them.

Behind him, the old man in gray robes was faster, like a bolt of lightning slashing through the darkness, relentlessly closing the distance at an alarming rate.

"What level of cultivation is this old geezer How could he be so powerful"

Ye Bufan was shocked. At this speed, he was afraid that before he could escape the palace, he would be stopped by someone.

He leaped and landed directly on Ye Erlang's back.

His cultivation was only at the middle stage of Nascent Soul, his speed naturally couldn't compare to those in the Void Core Stage, so he had been holding everyone back.

Now that the two have merged, their speed has increased dramatically. While they are still not as fast as the old man in gray robes, the gap between them has narrowed considerably.

Both sides moved with lightning speed, practically disappearing from the grand palace in a few breaths and appearing on the bustling main street of the imperial city.

Ye Erlang's feet landed firmly, and he hadn't run far when the old man behind him was already there.

"This still doesn't work!"

Ye Bufan's powerful divine sense kept sweeping behind him, seeing everything clearly. At this rate, the two of them would still not be able to escape.

"We need to find a different approach!"

He leaped into the air from behind Ye Erlang's back, tapping his toes lightly on her shoulders and using the recoil to propel himself forward. He dashed towards the location where they had previously set up the teleportation array.

While Ye Erlang turned back, he punched the old man behind him.

"Die, you whelp!"

The old man's figure was as swift as a ghost, appearing before them in the blink of an eye. He struck out with another palm strike.

This old geezer's palm strike looked light as a feather, yet it carried an endless amount of power. Even the surrounding space made cracking noises.

With a deafening boom as their fist and palm collided, Ye Erlang was sent flying backward like a cannonball.

But he didn't linger at all, his toes barely touching the ground as he shot towards Ye Bufan in the distance at incredible speed.

The grey-robed elder, though holding the upper hand in the recent clash, was forced to halt his rapid advance due to the backlash.

When he looked up again, Ye Erlang and Ye Bufan had already met up. The two stood together on the teleportation array.

A white light flashed and vanished instantly.

"Damn rats, they're cunning!"

The grey-robed old man, despite his formidable cultivation, hadn't anticipated the opponent's pre-arranged teleportation array. Though seething with rage, he was helpless against it.

Just then, a commotion of footsteps came from behind, and a young man in his thirties or forties, accompanied by a squad of palace guards, rode back in a hurry.

It was none other than the renowned Relying-on-Mountain Wang, Dugu Yuan. He came before the grey-robed elder and respectfully said: "Grandfather, where is that thief"

"He ran."

The gray-robed old man was none other than Dugu Xiu, the ancestor of the Dashun Empire. At this moment, his words were laced with anger and unwillingness.

"Ran That's impossible! What kind of cultivation would he need to escape from under my grandpa's hand"

Dugu Yuan's face was full of shock. He knew how powerful his ancestor was, and he never expected the other party to escape.

That kid is crafty as hell, he even set up a teleportation circle here beforehand.

Dugu Xiu said, "However, of the two of them, one was struck by my Destroying Heart Palm. He won't die, but he'll only be left with half a life."

Immediately dispatch people to search the entire city. Upon encountering anyone seeking medical treatment for serious injuries, apprehend them immediately.

"Yes!"

Dugu Yuan agreed with a nod and immediately ordered his men to search the entire city.

Ye Bufan and the two people had already appeared outside the city.

Everyone let out a long sigh of relief, thankfully they were well-prepared beforehand, or else they would have been caught by this old monster.

At the same time, I was also very puzzled. Although my soul-searching technique has spiritual fluctuations, it shouldn't have such a big impact, right How could it be discovered so easily

Unless that old geezer has been keeping an eye on the palace's movements, but it just doesn't seem likely.

I can't figure it out, I'll talk about it later. He looked back at Ye Erlang and saw that his chest was torn, with a dark handprint on it.

This old geezer has such high cultivation and exquisite palm techniques.

To be able to strike down Ye Li'er with a single move means the opponent's cultivation has reached the peak of the Void-Dwelling realm.

and silently left a palm print on his chest, indicating that the opponent's palm technique had reached a state of perfection.

Of course, this was also because he had been busy escaping before and didn't have time to command Ye Erlang to fight, otherwise he wouldn't have lost so quickly.

But no matter what, Dugu Xiu's prowess is undeniable. In the future, I must be careful when encountering him.

As for the palm print on his chest, he simply ignored it, not even bothering to treat it.

If someone else had been in his place, they might not have died but would have been seriously injured. But Ye Erlang's physical body is simply too powerful; he will be back to normal in no time.

Ye Erlang was brought into the Dragon King's Hall, and he quickly rushed back into the city.

We need to get back to the inn right away, or we'll risk being discovered if we stay out too long.

He leaped into the night, returning to their previous inn as quickly as he could.

No sooner had I stepped inside than a flurry of noisy footsteps sounded outside the door, and a detachment of city guards came in to inspect.

Under the guidance of the shopkeeper, they searched the room and found no one was injured, so they left in a hurry.

The door closed, and Nalanyu Jia asked anxiously, “Xiao Fan, what’s going on Have you found Situ Dianmo”

"... nothing ..."

Ye Bufan briefly recounted the events, saying finally, "I've searched the entire Mount Wang Residence but found no trace of Situ Dianmo. I haven't even felt her aura."

"In the end, I even ran into that old monster from the Dugu family. Fortunately, I was well-prepared beforehand, so I managed to escape."

"Brother Ye, should I go get revenge for you"

Xiaqing waved her two little fists and beamed with excitement.

"If you don't want to be caught and made into a beast pet, just honestly go play games."

Ye Bufan wasn't exaggerating, Xia Qing could only reveal her true form to defeat Dugu Xiu.

"Oh!"

Xiaoqing puckered her lips, took the game console, and sat down beside him to play Tetris again.

Chu Lingxi asked, "Brother Ye, what are you going to do next"

She was also full of curiosity about Situ Dianmo, wondering if he was truly as identical to her as people said.

Nalan Yujia said, "If we can't find people, it's definitely not possible to go door-to-door and rob them. We can only think of other ways."

"I've already made up my mind, I'll open a clinic here tomorrow..."

Ye Bufan laid out his thoughts plainly. Since they couldn't find Situ Dianmo, he would make himself as well-known as possible, attracting the other party to him. Any little bit of information they brought would be helpful.

Hu YaoYao said: "But what if we still can't see Sister Situ then"

Ye Bufan's face darkened: "There are still twenty days until the wedding day Tao Ran mentioned. If we still can't find her by then, we'll have to go and kidnap her."

He didn't know why Shanshan Wang was hiding people, but no matter the reason, on his wedding day, Si Tu Dian Mo definitely had to show up. You can't hide forever.

Zhongli Mai said, "Master, since that old monster Dugu Xiu is still around, snatching the bride will be rather difficult."

Ye Bufan suddenly burst out with a murderous aura: "I will kill any god who stands in my way, and any Buddha who dares to block me. If Duguxiu dares to stop me, I will kill him!" Defu said: "I also feel it, this is someone seeing us making money and getting jealous. It's very likely that woman Black Widow did it."Fokang Pharmaceuticals, having acquired the agency rights of Lo...
