867: C867 Fear Before Death

C867 Fear Before Death

Ye Bufan sucked in a breath of cold air. Zhu Yeqing had died a miserable death. Both his hands and feet had been chopped off and thrown onto the floor. Blood had almost dyed the golden chair and the floor red. The huge hall was filled with a pungent smell of blood, which made Ye Bufan frown.

Was it done by someone? How could it make Zhu Yeqing so frightened before he died?

His puzzled eyes couldn't help but look at the Great Protector. At this moment, the Great Protector was silent. His wrinkled face looked very ugly. Ye Bufan knew that this wasn't the time to ask anything. Therefore, he decided to shut his mouth and temporarily suppress the doubts in his heart.

Without any expression on his face, the Great Guardian remained silent. His eyes, which contained the vicissitudes of life, stared straight at Zhu Yeqing, who had died miserably on the golden chair. Ye Bufan could not see any sadness on his wrinkled face, even though it was a painful expression. However, it didn't show the slightest bit of sadness after the death of the sect master.

The competition for power was cruel, Ye Bufan thought to himself. Could it be that the chief protector had been spying on the master of Earth Fiend Sect? Now, Zhu Yeqing was finally dead. The position of the master had been vacated, and Zhu Chi would be able to take the position. After getting rid of the identity of the chief protector, he leapt to the position of the sect master.

After thinking for a while, Ye Bufan shook his head with a bitter smile. The Earth Fiend Sect was not comparable to the famous sects in the Immortal Domain. There were only two people in the big sects. Including Ye Bufan, there should have been one more person. Now that Zhu Yeqing had become two people after his death, it didn't matter if he was the sect master or not. Therefore, Ye Bufan didn't believe that the Great Protector would attack Zhu Yeqing for the sake of the position of the sect master.

Of course, he couldn't rule out this possibility. Although the Earth Fiend Sect had a small population, it was still possible for the Great Protector to kill ___ for the sake of the position of the sect master. The buildings were no less than any wealthy sect. Even if they were sold, it would definitely be an astonishing amount of wealth. Even the old demons who were not part of the mortal world would be tempted. After all, no one would complain about having too much wealth.

The chief enforcer did not say anything, and Ye Bufan could not guess what he was thinking.

Zhu Yeqing was lying on the golden chair all alone. His bloody and miserable appearance was unbearable. Ye Bufan silently sighed, although he had only seen Zhu Yeqing once. Although they had a short conversation, the impression that Zhu Yeqing had left on Ye Bufan wasn't bad at all. Ye Bufan couldn't bear to see Ye Bufan die like this.

No matter what he had done in his previous life, he was now dead. Everything was settled.

Cultivators looked high and mighty. To ordinary people, cultivators were gods. There was nothing that could be done, and ordinary people envied the long life of cultivators. The ability to change fate. However, they had never considered that every cultivator had to face killing intent. They lived a life of constant fear and anxiety all day long.

Just like Zhu Yeqing, who was a master of a sect, who was very powerful. In the end, he also became the prey of others. There were too many people in Immortal Domain who were not as good as Zhu Yeqing. Their fates were not in their own hands. If they were lucky, they would be able to live a life of being a coward for the rest of their lives. However, if misfortune were to befall them, they wouldn't be able to escape.

At this moment, Ye Bufan felt sad for the death of a rabbit. He couldn't help but take a step forward, intending to collect Zhu Yeqing's limbs that were scattered on the ground. However, just as he took a few steps forward, the furious voice of the chief guardian sounded from behind him.

"Stop right there!"

Ye Bufan turned around in surprise. This old man had been keeping silent the whole time. What was the meaning of his sudden words? Did he not want me to touch Zhu Yeqing's corpse?

"The murderer has yet to be found. Please don't touch the corpse of the sect master." Zhu Chi's facial expression quickly returned to normal as he spoke in a flat tone.

Ye Bufan was secretly suspicious. He could clearly hear the anger and nervousness in the voice of the chief protector just now. Although it had returned to normal, Ye Bufan felt that he was hiding something.

It must have something to do with Zhu Yeqing's death.

"Alright." Ye Bufan remained calm on the surface. He nodded and said, then withdrew his steps. He stood at the same place again and his gaze stopped on the Chief Protector. He wanted to see how the Chief Guardian was going to find the murderer.

At this moment, the chief enforcer stepped forward and stopped on the steps in front of the golden chair. Due to the angle, Ye Bufan could only see his back, but not his expression. Therefore, he couldn't guess the reaction of Zhu Chi, who was standing so close to Zhu Yeqing's corpse.

"Son, you died so tragically." Suddenly, the chief protector kneeled down on the ground and cried in pain.

Ye Bufan's mouth was wide open in shock. What he was shocked about wasn't the chief protector crying so miserably, nor the action of the chief protector kneeling on the ground. It was the two words that came out of the mouth of the chief protector.

Son!

The relationship between the chief protector, Zhu Chi, and Zhu Yeqing was like father and son. Ye Bufan had never dreamt that this would happen.

Although both of them had the surname Zhu, there was no similarity between their appearances. Furthermore, the age gap between them was too huge. That was why Ye Bufan did not think that the two of them were father and son.

"Don't worry, I will definitely avenge you."

The Chief Guardian was actually Zhu Yeqing's father. After knowing about this relationship, Ye Bufan immediately gave up on the idea of killing Zhu Yeqing. As a father, how could he be ruthless enough to kill his own son? A tiger does not eat its own son. The Chief Guardian did not seem like someone who could be ruthless enough to kill his son.

The Earth Fiend Sect belonged to the two of them. The relationship between the father and son was obvious. No matter who the sect master was, his surname was Zhu. Therefore, the chief protector didn't have any motive to kill Zhu Yeqing.

After that, the chief guardian started to clean up the limbs that were scattered on the ground. He carefully cleaned up Zhu Yeqing's corpse. Ye Bufan stood quietly at the side, waiting for the chief guardian to find some clues about the murderer.

After a while, the chief enforcer carried Zhu Yeqing's corpse into the inner room. The ground had even been cleaned up once more, and the smell of blood had become much fainter. The golden chair had become brand new after being cleaned again, and it was glittering with a golden light. Two hours had passed after the chief enforcer had finished packing everything up.

"You can go down first. I want to be alone for a while."0

Ye Bufan nodded. He understood the chief protector's current mood. Then, he turned around and walked outside. When he walked outside, Ye Bufan's heart skipped a beat, and his footsteps suddenly stopped.

Wait, the Great Protector came to me in a panic just to see Zhu Yeqing's tragic death?

"Ah!"

Suddenly, a shrill cry sounded out from the building. Ye Bufan's facial expression changed dramatically. This was the voice of the Great Protector. Not good, the assassin who killed Zhu Yeqing must not have left. And now, he had attacked the Great Protector. Damn it, there were two people in the Earth Fiend Sect. If all of them died, what was the point of joining the Earth Fiend Sect?

Ye Bufan had always wanted to find out the core secret of the experiment. If the Great Guardian died... His hope would be dashed once again, so he couldn't let the Chief Guardian die. Even if he died, he would die after he told everything. When he thought of this, Ye Bufan didn't dare to be distracted at all. He rushed into the building with lightning speed.

A long corridor flashed under his feet. Very quickly, Ye Bufan returned to the hall. However, the scene in the hall made his eyes widen.

The hall was filled with a thick smell of blood. The pungent smell made people nauseous. The floor that had just been cleaned was covered with blood, and the golden chair was completely dyed red with blood. The chief enforcer's broken corpse powerlessly leaned on the golden chair, and his four limbs were chopped off and scattered on the floor. The scene was almost exactly the same as before, only the person who died was different.

Dead?

Ye Bufan ran to the golden chair with an ugly expression on his face. After a thorough examination, he found out that the chief protector was really dead. He couldn't feel any trace of life from his body, he was dead.

Damn it! Who the hell did this?

Ye Bufan was extremely furious in his heart. He didn't care about the life and death of the chief protector. However, the chief protector was the only one who knew the secret of the Earth Fiend Sect. Once he died... Ye Bufan joining the Earth Fiend Sect had become meaningless. It wasn't easy for him to see hope. But now, he was killed by a certain damned person.

There was no trace of blood left in the hall. Ye Bufan adjusted his anger. After he calmed down, Ye Bufan began to search for the traces left by the murderer in the hall. After a while. He returned to his original position in disappointment, just like what he had seen on the surface. There were almost no valuable clues in the hall.

The person who killed Zhu Yeqing and Zhu Chi should be the same person. He didn't leave after killing Zhu Yeqing. Instead, he hid somewhere in the hall. After Ye Bufan left... This person attacked once again, killing the Great Protector. This time, he had hidden himself. Or did he just run away?

Ye Bufan shook his head and sighed. Zhu Chi and Zhu Yeqing were really pitiful. Both of them had died in the hands of the same man, one after the other, without a complete corpse.

After a while, Ye Bufan didn't sense any unusual Qi, so he could only relax temporarily. After that, he took a step forward and started to deal with the corpse of the Chief Guardian.

Although he had just joined the Earth Fiend Sect, it was for another purpose. Now that all the people of the Earth Fiend Sect were dead, he couldn't let the corpse of the chief protector lie here alone. Ye Bufan felt that even if he didn't admit that he was a member of the Earth Fiend Sect... It's also an obligation to deal with the Grand Protector's body.

Ye Bufan furrowed his brows as he carried the corpse of the chief guardian into the inner room. The layout of the inner room was very exquisite. The pink style looked like a woman's room. Ye Bufan shook his head. Although he felt strange, he did not think too much about it. He looked up and saw that there was a person lying on the bed. Ye Bufan did not even think about it and walked straight to the front of the bed.

When he wanted to put the chief guard on the bed, he suddenly widened his eyes in shock. Unexpectedly, the person lying on the bed was not Zhu Yeqing, but a woman.

The familiar woman was dressed in red, and her face was covered with frost. She was actually the woman in red who lived in the Sword Mountain. Ye Bufan took a dozen steps back in panic.

Why was she here? And why was she lying in the inner room?

Ye Bufan looked over in surprise. The first thing he saw was the woman in red with her eyes tightly closed. The pain between her eyebrows could be clearly seen. Ye Bufan inexplicably let out a sigh of relief. He carefully walked forward, wanting to see what was going on with the woman in red.

Suddenly, the woman in red opened her eyes without any warning. Her eyes flashed with a cold light that caused one's heart to palpitate. Her petite body jumped up from the bed. She waved her hand, and a silver light flashed across the sky like a flash of lightning. It pierced towards Ye Bufan's chest.
