Chapter 2759: Shui Yueli's Encounter
od, not all diseases can be cured. The patient's condition is serious, it’s not that I am incompetent, it’s that no one can cure it.”Ye Bufan sneered: "No one can cure him Who gave you the courage to...Ye Bufan and others entered the city gate of Paradise Island, following the street inward. The surroundings became more prosperous as they went deeper.
As the plump memory recorded, all sorts of people can be found here, from demon cultivators and ghost cultivators to even gigantic demonic beasts that swagger about openly.
Looking around, these people's strengths varied greatly, some were in the Nascent Soul stage while others were in the Transcending Tribulation stage.
But they all lived peacefully with each other, there was no bullying or anyone fighting. Business transactions between merchants were always fair.
In the cultivation world, where strength has always been paramount, such a harmonious scene is incredibly rare.
Xiaqing said, "Ye Gege, the people here look so friendly."
"It's not that they don't get along, but the rules here are very strict..."
Ye Bufan relayed the information he had gleaned from the short, stout cultivator to the others around him. "Tian Dao Island strictly forbids private duels. Anyone caught fighting will be immediately taken away by the island's administrators for punishment. The punishment can range from having one's cultivation base revoked to being directly killed."
Su Lingxiang was taken aback: "Could such strict rules be enforced I just saw a powerful cultivator in the Transcending Tribulation stage."
Ye Bufan said: "The city lord of Paradise Island is extremely powerful, and his subordinates are also masters. Even a cultivator at the Tribulation Transcending Stage wouldn't have any special privileges here."
"Paradise Island advocates for harmonious coexistence, and the most important thing in all transactions is fairness."
He recounted the dwarf monk's memories, but inside, he felt uneasy, as if something wasn't quite right.
Such rules would be perfectly normal on Earth, but in the cultivation world where strength is paramount, they seem a bit odd.
According to the short and stout monk's memory, the Lord of Paradise Island was most likely at the late or peak stage of crossing the tribulation.
Such a powerful cultivator, one would normally think he'd view others as ants. Why then would he preside over such fair rules What is his motive
He shook his head, pushing the thought away. He knew it wasn't something he needed to worry about right now.
A few people walked forward. Ye Bufan wanted to check the situation here, but he found that there were too many restrictions around him, and his divine sense couldn't expand at all.
He turned his head to look at Shui Yueli: "Where is Elder Qin"
"I don't know either, just that it was in a shopping mall."
Shuǐ Yuè Lí revealed an awkward expression. When she was taken away just now, her heart was as dead as ashes, and she didn't pay attention to the surroundings or know the way back.
Ye Bufan frowned and looked up to see a guesthouse ahead. He led the others inside.
Right now, I have no idea what's going on. I don't even know who the enemy is, let alone what Shui Yue Li and the others went through. We need to figure things out first.
But it's obviously not appropriate to talk on the street like this. Let's find a place to stay first. It will be more convenient when we rescue Qin Biyao.
They booked the best suite and four people walked in.
This inn was already under a prohibition, but Ye Bufan was still not at ease and personally set up three soundproofing barriers.
After all, this is an independent space with many masters, so it's better to be more careful.
"Making sure no one was listening, he turned to Shui Yue Li: "Fairy Shui, what is going on"
What happened to you and Elder Qin Why did you come here, and what place is this
A barrage of questions came pouring out; he had so much he wanted to know.
Although he had fully grasped the memories of the short, stout monk, the fellow was a member of the Sea Soul Cult.
I only know about the Demon Abyss Sea and Paradise Island. I don't know anything else, nor do I know where Heaven's Glory State is.
Shuǐyuè Lí sighed and began to tell the story.
After the last Genius Demon War, the Grand Elder brought us back to Tianqiong Prefecture together.
Although you brought back a lot of cultivation resources for us, the Grand Elder thinks that we can't rely on you for everything. We also need to find ways to help Tianqiong Prefecture become stronger faster.
Just then, we received a message that an ancient site had appeared in the Sea of Devil's Ming. It is said to contain many treasures and cultivation resources left behind from ancient times.
At that time, the master of the house opposed it because the Demon Abyss Sea was a taboo for all continents. There were too many powerful monsters and it was full of danger.
But the elder thought this was also an opportunity, and decided to risk a try.
I feel the same way, after all, cultivation is about adventure. Opportunities and dangers always go hand in hand. So I entered the Demon Abyss Sea with the Great Elder.
Speaking of this, she couldn't help but steal a glance at Ye Bufan. The reason she made this decision was largely because of the pressure this man in front of her gave her.
A few months ago, she was the core disciple of Tianshui Pavilion, with absolute advantages in both cultivation and background.
But even after the Genius Prodigy Tournament, she was still at the Void Core Stage, while Ye Bufan had already reached a height that made her look up to him.
It was precisely for this reason that he made up his mind to seek resources in the ancient ruins and quickly improve his cultivation.
Ye Bufan asked, “What happened then”
“Later…” Shui Yueli’s face showed a trace of bitterness, “When we reached that legendary island, we realized it was all a trap. There were no ancient ruins at all, it was all a scheme fabricated by the Haisha Gang.”
They spread the word to lure us in and then strike.
All the male monks who arrived on the island were slaughtered, and their resources were plundered.
The beautiful female cultivators were all sealed, then transported to Paradise Island to be sold as furnace cauldrons!
Su Ling霜 had been silent up until now, but she couldn't help but say, "Damn it, what does this Haisha Gang do How could they be so vicious"
Shui Yueli shook her head. "I'm not too sure either. Based on the previous signs, it should be a large faction from Yao Ming Hai."
"And it's incredibly powerful, with over ten Grand Arhat-level masters alone. We're simply no match for them."
Ye Bufan had already guessed that the Haisha Gang was an evil organization, specializing in murder, robbery, and human trafficking.
This kind of organization exists on Earth and also in the cultivation world.
But this sinister gang can be put aside for now; what he wants to know most is how to return to Tianqiong Prefecture.
"How did you and Elder Qin end up here Do you know the way back"
Shuilye shook her head again: "Once we fell into the hands of the Haisha Gang, they imposed a ban on us, completely sealing our cultivation and rendering us unconscious."
"I don't know how long it took or how far I walked. When I regained consciousness, I was already at the marketplace of Paradise Island."
"Oh!"
Ye Bufan didn't ask any further. It seemed like the information he could get from Shui Yueli was limited to this. He needed to investigate further from the Haisha gang.
Believe that the other party can bring people here, and they can also find the small island leading to Tianqiong Prefecture.
After figuring out what was going on, he removed the soundproof barrier and led everyone out of the room to the front desk of the inn.
He casually tossed a high-grade spirit stone to the shop assistant inside and politely asked, "Where can I find some top-quality furnace cauldrons"
Such generous guests were rare. The shopkeeper, after receiving the spirit stone, beamed with delight. Not only did he clearly explain the route to the marketplace, but he also drew a rough sketch for them.
Ye Bufan took the blueprints and, with Xiaoqing and the other two, left the inn and headed toward the marketplace.ed a number."I'm Yang Qing, keep an eye on those three Range Rovers. Stop them at any highway exit, don't let them leave. I'll be there shortly."After hanging up the phone, he sped off in his Bradiwil...
