116: Chapter 116 Shi Dazhuang Asks for Help

"What's wrong?" Zhang Bufan frowned and reached out to help Shi Dazhuang up, but Shi Dazhuang knelt on the ground, pleading and constantly kowtowing, refusing to get up.

Shi Dazhuang, in front of him, was in a sorry state, his clothes ragged and stained with blood, and his aura unstable, clearly indicating serious injuries.

"Get up and speak. We don't do this here. What exactly happened?" Zhang Bufan sternly commanded.

Shi Dazhuang trembled. He felt that Zhang Bufan's words seemed to carry a certain magical power, making him involuntarily stand up. However, at this moment, he didn't think too much and quickly said, "Great Master, my younger brother was taken away by people from the Tianjian Sect. Please, save him."

"Tell me in detail," Zhang Bufan said indifferently. Although he and Shi Dazhuang couldn't even be considered friends, and they had even had a conflict before, he was still quite interested in Shi Dazhuang's strange younger brother.

Seeing that Zhang Bufan did not refuse, Shi Dazhuang quickly said, "This is what happened: Early this morning, I bought some Spirit Medicine for healing in the East City, intending to take it back to heal my younger brother. But as soon as I left the East City, I encountered people from the Tianjian Sect. They attacked me without a word. I was no match and barely escaped back to the East City with my life.

They didn't dare to act in the East City, so they said they would go and tie up my younger brother and demand that I bring Spirit Stones to redeem him."

Shi Dazhuang was extremely anxious, but he simply didn't dare to leave the East City. If he went out, not only would he fail to save his younger brother, but he would also lose his own life.

In this East City, he had no one to rely on. Even if he had two or three friends, as soon as they heard he had provoked the Tianjian Sect, they avoided him like the plague.

In despair, Shi Dazhuang thought of Zhang Bufan. Even the Manager Ma of Wanbao Inn was so respectful, making him feel that Zhang Bufan's background was not simple. Regardless of success or failure, for his younger brother's life, he had to come and try.

Even if Zhang Bufan wanted his life, if it could save his younger brother, he would be willing. Besides, his life was originally saved by Zhang Bufan.

"Great Master, I beg you. If you are willing to help me rescue my younger brother, my life, Shi Dazhuang's life, will be yours from now on," Shi Dazhuang pleaded. He had nothing left but his life.

"Where is your younger brother now?" Zhang Bufan asked.

"Our home is in Shijia Village, Stone City, in the northwest of the Eastern Region. By now, the people from the Tianjian Sect should have already arrived there," Shi Dazhuang said, his voice anxious and his face full of worry.

Just as Shi Dazhuang finished speaking, his communication jade slip rang. He quickly took it out and saw a cold male voice coming from it, "Shi Dazhuang, your younger brother is in our hands now. If you don't want anything to happen to him, I demand you bring one hundred million Mid-Grade Spirit Stones to Fenghua Manor in Wushi Town within two hours. If you are an hour late, I will cut your younger brother once. If we don't see you after three hours, then just wait to collect your younger brother's corpse."

"Boom!" Shi Dazhuang instantly felt like he was struck by lightning, his weak body becoming somewhat unsteady. He had held onto a sliver of hope, fantasizing that the Tianjian Sect people wouldn't find his younger brother, but he never expected it to be unavoidable.

Zhang Bufan waved his hand, and a stream of spiritual energy quietly entered Shi Dazhuang's body, steadying him. "Shi Dazhuang, I will handle your younger brother's matter."

"But Great Master, they are asking for a hundred million. I can't let you spend so many Spirit Stones!" Shi Dazhuang hesitated, but thinking of his younger brother's precarious situation, he knelt down again, trembling, "Great Master, even if I have to work like an ox or a horse, I will find a way to return the Spirit Stones to you."

"Tell me where Wushi Town is," Zhang Bufan said. The reason Zhang Bufan would help Shi Dazhuang was, first, his curiosity about his younger brother, and the most important reason was that Shi Dazhuang's brotherly affection moved him.

"Great Master, Wushi Town is about a thousand kilometers from East City. This map jade slip has a record," Shi Dazhuang said, taking out a jade slip and handing it to Zhang Bufan.

Zhang Bufan took the jade slip, sensed it, and found Wushi Town. He then said indifferently, "Alright, I understand. I will bring your younger brother back. As for you, you are seriously injured. I will have Manager Ma take care of you. Also, you don't need to call me Great Master anymore. My surname is Zhang, you can call me Young Master Zhang."

"Thank you, Young Master Zhang," Shi Dazhuang was very excited and was about to kowtow to Zhang Bufan, but Zhang Bufan used a surge of spiritual energy to hold him up.

"Fire Junior Sister, I need to go out for a while. You and Junior Brother will rest at the inn," Zhang Bufan turned to Fire Qingrou and said.

"Senior Brother, let me go with you," Fire Qingrou stepped forward a few paces, coming to Zhang Bufan's side.

"No need, it's just a small matter," Zhang Bufan waved his hand.

Fire Qingrou said nothing more and entered the room with Hundred Li Jingang. She was very clear about Senior Brother's strength. If Senior Brother couldn't handle it, then her going would be useless.

Zhang Bufan beckoned to Baldy, then took Shi Dazhuang downstairs. After giving a few instructions to Manager Ma, Zhang Bufan headed out of East City.

Along the way, Zhang Bufan noticed that many people were secretly following him. After the auction ended, his identity had probably been exposed.

However, Zhang Bufan didn't bother with them. He only wanted to rescue Shi Dazhuang's younger brother now. As for these people, he didn't have time to deal with them yet.

Before long, Zhang Bufan arrived at the North City Gate of East City.

This East City has a total of four city gates, namely East, South, West, and North. Wushi Town is to the north of East City, so exiting the city gate was relatively simple, just going straight out.

As soon as Zhang Bufan came out of East City, he felt that he was being targeted by many gazes or Divine Sense. However, there were many people at the city gate, so they didn't immediately make a move, but instead followed Zhang Bufan.

"Heh, there are quite a few of them, aren't there? But I don't have time to deal with you now. Just clean your necks and wait," Zhang Bufan sneered, then suddenly accelerated, disappearing in a short while.

Those who were tracking Zhang Bufan suddenly lost his location. They all gathered at the place where Zhang Bufan had just disappeared, looking puzzled.

Many people took out their communication jade slips to report the situation here to the people behind them.

In a certain inn in East City, Bai Yijian clutched the communication jade slip in his hand and muttered to himself, "Disappeared right under everyone's noses? It seems that kid must have Cultivated an extraordinary concealment Cultivation Technique. But there's no need to worry, his Junior Sister is still in East City. He'll have to come back sooner or later."

"Set up informants outside the four city gates of East City. If that kid is found, notify me immediately. I'll go kill him myself," Bai Yijian instructed, then put away his communication jade slip.

Wanbao Pavilion.

"Young Miss, isn't that scoundrel seeking death by leaving the city at this time?" Xiao Ling's face flashed with anxiety.
