304: Chapter 304 Li Yunfan Being Hunted

"Aren't you afraid we'll force you to stay?"

Master Yun Hua looked at Pavilion Master Liu Ruoyan and said coldly.

One of the keys was with the Hongchen Pavilion; this was something they already knew.

However, they hadn't expected Pavilion Master Liu Ruoyan to show up in person.

Weren't they afraid they would just detain Pavilion Master Liu Ruoyan right here?

"Then we'll see if you have the ability to do so."

Pavilion Master Liu Ruoyan said nonchalantly.

Detain her?

"Hmph..."

Gao Chi also gave a cold snort, which served as a tacit acquiescence.

After all, he also knew that one key was in the hands of the Hongchen Pavilion; his thought was that if the person sent by the Hongchen Pavilion wasn't powerful, he would simply kill them in the name of eliminating demons and defending the Dao and seize the key.

But he hadn't expected Pavilion Master Liu Ruoyan herself to come, which forced him to temporarily suppress his previous thoughts.

He might not even be a match for Pavilion Master Liu Ruoyan.

However, on second thought, he could guess why Pavilion Master Liu Ruoyan had come in person.

The Hongchen Pavilion had suffered heavy losses back then, and only a few of its high-level combatants remained.

The reason the Hongchen Pavilion still held its position as a great Sect of the Demonic Path was mainly because of Pavilion Master Liu Ruoyan.

As long as she was still around, the Hongchen Pavilion would not fall from its position as a great Sect of the Demonic Path.

"Come out."

Pavilion Master Liu Ruoyan said.

Three women and two men walked out from the crowd.

The two women among them exuded an air of charm, which similarly attracted the gazes of many people present.

But without a doubt, judging from the aura emanating from these five people, they were all cultivators at the Spirit Treasury Peak.

"Those holding the other two keys, come out as well."

Pavilion Master Liu Ruoyan's gaze swept over the crowd as she spoke.

A quarter of an hour later.

About a quarter of an hour later, an elegant Young Master walked out.

He appeared before everyone with a face full of smiles, holding a folding fan, and on his hand was a ring, which was exactly a treasury key.

Following behind him were four people.

One of them was an acquaintance of Lin Ming, Li Yunfan.

Although this guy had masked his original appearance, Lin Ming still recognized him.

However, the mask on his face was quite interesting.

A Grade Nine Origin Weapon.

This was also the second Grade Nine Origin Weapon Lin Ming had seen, besides those he had refined himself.

This person has encountered no small amount of opportunities.

After not seeing him for a while, his strength had actually increased to the Spirit Treasury Sixth Heaven.

In fact, during his time on Yuanxu Mountain, Lin Ming had occasionally heard others mention Li Yunfan's name.

This man had caused quite a stir; as a Loose Cultivator, he had wiped out a mid-sized cultivation Family and, with his Spirit Treasury body, had trapped and killed three Bitter Sea Realm cultivators.

One of them was at the Bitter Sea Early Stage, and two were at the Bitter Sea Middle Stage.

The cause seemed to be that this Family had targeted Li Yunfan, believing he had some treasure and wanting to kill him to seize it, but they were killed by Li Yunfan instead, and the entire Family was gone.

A Spirit Treasury Realm cultivator wiping out a mid-sized cultivation Family and killing three Bitter Sea Realm cultivators—no matter what method he used, this achievement was enough for him to be proud.

It was said that he was now being targeted by a large Sect.

A portable 'Old Grandpa',

A Grade Nine Origin Weapon,

Rapid cultivation progress,

Killing those at higher realms through schemes—

Looking at all these experiences, Lin Ming felt a sense of déjà vu, as if he were looking at a protagonist template or a Child of Luck.

I couldn't have actually run into one, could I?

At this moment, Li Yunfan was still feeling a little bit nervous in his heart.

After all, he was currently facing three Nirvana Realm Old Ancestors, especially Pavilion Master Liu Ruoyan, who was a Nirvana Late Stage Old Ancestor.

He was afraid his disguise would be discovered.

Elder Xuan had said his disguise wouldn't be discovered, even by Nirvana Realm cultivators.

The mask on his face was, after all, a Grade Nine Origin Weapon.

Furthermore, Elder Xuan was currently in a deep sleep.

This made Li Yunfan feel a bit unconfident in his heart.

Originally, he didn't want to wade into these muddy waters of the Inverse Demon Cult treasury.

He still had some troubles of his own that hadn't been cleared up.

Dongming Mountain.

This School had been pursuing him relentlessly.

And it was all because he had wiped out the Sun Family.

If the Sun Family hadn't coveted some of the things he had and pursued him relentlessly, trying to take his life several times,

He wouldn't have thought of a way to directly wipe out the Sun Family.

However, the daughter of the Sun Family's head was the Dao Companion of a Dongming Mountain Elder's son.

Because of this, he was targeted by the people of Dongming Mountain.

This forced him to temporarily hide his identity.

As for coming to the Inverse Demon Cult treasury, it was Elder Xuan's intention.

A year ago, Elder Xuan, who had been in a deep sleep, woke up, though only for less than half a quarter of an hour.

During the period Elder Xuan was awake, he instructed him to go to a place where there was something he had left behind, and that it would be best if he could obtain it.

This was what Elder Xuan had perceived after recovering a portion of his Divine Soul.

After hurriedly giving the instructions, Elder Xuan fell back into a deep sleep.

Li Yunfan then found the location of the Legacy based on the location Elder Xuan had left.

Now, Li Yunfan, who originally hadn't planned on coming here, had no choice but to change his mind.

He began searching for the keys to the Inverse Demon Cult treasury, and this search lasted for nine months.

It wasn't until three months ago that he heard the announcement released by Old Ancestor Master Yun Hua.

This gave him an idea.

Rather than searching like a headless fly, it was better to wait for the prey to come to him.

He waited in the cities surrounding Guqing Ravine for the key holders to arrive.

Yuanxu Mountain and the Shangji Sect.

He certainly wouldn't target these two Sects, nor did he have the qualifications; their slots wouldn't fall to him, and he had enough self-awareness to know that.

His targets were the holders of the other three keys.

He only hoped that the holders of the other three keys wouldn't be like those from Yuanxu Mountain and the Shangji Sect.

Otherwise, he would have to resort to some unconventional means.

After waiting for two months, he actually did find someone: the elegant Young Master Tao Jingxuan before them.

He had also relied on his own strength to join Tao Jingxuan's team; not just him, but the other four had also relied on their own strength to step into this team.

But they didn't know much about Tao Jingxuan.

Therefore, Li Yunfan would feel a sense of wariness when facing him.

This person was not simple.

Quite a few people had targeted the key in his hand, even including some Kuhai Masters, but they had all mysteriously disappeared.

Regardless of how complex he was, Li Yunfan still had to use the key in his hand to enter the treasury.

"Greetings to the three Seniors. I am Tao Jingxuan, and I have one key in my possession."

Tao Jingxuan showed the ring in his hand and spoke to everyone.

"Tao Jingxuan? Which Family's Disciple is this young man?"

Pavilion Master Liu Ruoyan's slightly seductive eyes looked toward Tao Jingxuan as she spoke.

"A nobody, not worth mentioning."

Tao Jingxuan responded with a smile.

"There is still one key left."

Gao Chi said expressionlessly.

Out of the five keys, one had yet to appear.
