Chapter 717: The Puppet Master

ion card meant that this was a very important guest to Longteng Pharmaceuticals, and he dared not make a decision lightly. So, he turned to Yu Sihui beside him."Ms. Yu, how do you think we should hand...Wang Xue凝 knew Ye Bufan still had things to do, and she wasn't sure how to face Sima Wei yet. Her mood was very complex. After bidding farewell to Ye Bufan, she also left the place.

Ye Bufan asked Master Ge to arrange a quiet room and then walked in with Sima Wei and Ye Tian.

After entering and closing the door, Sima Wei said, "I heard that Xiang Dong came to personally cause you trouble. I even worried for you, but I didn't expect it to be solved so easily."

Then he looked at Ye Tian, who remained silent: "Is this your friend He's really skilled."

She was puzzled. As a martial artist, she naturally knew how rare masters were.

Ye Tian, who can effortlessly defeat Xiang Donglai and Huang Chengchou, is undoubtedly a master swordsman. However, he doesn't possess the arrogance that often accompanies a grandmaster.

And someone so skilled would have inevitably gained some renown. Yet, as the one responsible for Xuanyuan Pavilion's intelligence, I had never heard of a master like Ye Tian.

Ye Bufan said: “You misunderstood, he is just a corpse puppet…”

He recounted the events of his battle with the Shangguan family, and finally revealed Ye Tian's identity.

"You say this is a silver corpse"

Sima Wei looked at Ye Tian in disbelief. No matter how she looked, he was a living person, showing no signs of being a corpse puppet.

"Yes, he is the Silver Corpse, but I refined him using a special technique."

Ye Bufan said, "The current Corpse Refining technique is incomplete, so the Corpse Puppets refined are very easy to recognize. But I use the complete method, so you can't tell."

"How come you can do everything, even this"

Ye Bufan said, "I am a doctor, so it is natural for me to know more about things related to the human body. I accidentally obtained the secrets of necromancy."

Sima Wei circled Ye Tian, and said with a tsk tsk: "To get such a master-level subordinate is really cheap for you."

But this way, your hatred with the Shangguan family will deepen. You have to know, even for them, silver corpses are not many. Now that you've snatched them and claimed them as your own, if those old ghosts find out, they'll probably fight you to the death.

Ye Bufan said, "The Shangguan family will come to me sooner or later. Why should I care about these things"

Sima Wei nodded. "You're right, the Shangguan family never backs down from an enemy. You've already killed two of their core disciples, so they'll definitely come after you."

Ye Bufan said: "Let's not talk about the Shangguan family for now. What do you think of Cui Baizhong today He didn't come early or late, but just happened to come when Ye Tian killed Xiang Donglai and Huang Chengzhou. They came here to arrest people, which clearly shows that they were prepared. To put it plainly, they are targeting me."

Sima Wei said, "This matter is indeed rather odd. We hadn't received any news about it before, which shows the high level of secrecy."

Ye Bufan said, “Who do you think arranged this Could it be one of the Jiangbei families”

Sima Wei shook her head: "Cui Baozhong is also a powerful figure in Jiangnan Province. The several major families in Jiangbei can't just dispatch him at will. I guess there are other people behind this."

Ye Bufan said, "I think so too, but besides them, who else could it be Could it be that the same person is hiding behind the Shangguan family"

Sima Wei said, "It should be like this. Being able to mobilize the heavy case team of Jiangnan Province and making the Shangguan family willingly work for him, this person must be extraordinary."

Ye Bufan frowned. There was obviously a black hand behind him trying to deal with him, but he didn't know who the other party was. This made him very uncomfortable and he disliked this feeling very much.

Sima Wei said again, "You still need to be more careful recently. After a string of failures, that person will not let it go and will definitely come up with other ways."

"Being constantly beaten up isn't a good thing." Ye Bufan said, "After the Heavenly Soldier plan is finished, I'll go to Xiangxi for a trip. I have to find out who's behind this."

Sima Wei said, "The Shangguan family is a behemoth in Xiangxi. That's their territory. You can handle things here relatively well, but if you go there, it will be very dangerous."

Ye Bufan said: "No matter what, we have to catch the mastermind behind this. Before that, I will do my best to improve my strength."

Sima Wei said: "You're already quite extraordinary. To break through from the Xuan rank to the Di rank so quickly is probably unprecedented in all of China."

Actually, it's simple for you to protect yourself. You just need to stay at the training base of Xuanyuan Pavilion. Even if the Shangguan family is bold, they wouldn't dare to openly confront Xuanyuan Pavilion.

Ye Bufan said, "Being a turtle is not my style. One must be strong to forge iron, and I need to improve my strength as soon as possible."

Sima Wei said, "By the way, the time to enter the Jiangbei training base of Xuanyuan Pavilion has been set, tomorrow morning at nine o'clock. You prepare for it today."

After some more casual conversation, the two left Ge Wencong's place.

Sima Wei went directly back to Xuanyuan Pavilion to handle business, while Ye Bufan drove back to Wang Xue'ning's villa.

In the midst of rolling mountains in Xiangxi, a colossal mountain fort lies hidden.

Visually, the village was not much different from other Miao villages in the mountains, except that it was larger.

But the villagers within a hundred miles held this place in awe, for it was the renowned home of the Shangguan family.

As a family with a heritage spanning centuries, the Shangguan family is deeply rooted in the Xiangxi region. Their influence is pervasive and intricate, making them untouchable to most people on a daily basis.

At the very top of the village, stands a giant statue that looks quite strange, and one can't tell which god it represents.

Below the statue stood two old men in black robes.

The man was thin and gaunt, with a withered face and skin like dried orange peel. It was impossible to tell his age.

Even so, the elder exuded a powerful and chilling aura that made people wary. He was Shangguan Xiong, the head of the Shangguan family.

Facing them was Shangguan Zhuo, the second master of the Shangguan family and younger brother of Shangguan Xiong.

Shenguan Zhuo said, "Big brother, how was your retreat this time Did you have any gains"

Shangguan Xiong shook his head slightly: "When you reach my level, every step forward is harder than the last. You need more luck."

After a moment's pause, he asked, "How is it going in the village lately Has anything major happened"

"There wasn't anything major, but there was a small issue in Jiangbei."

Shangguan Xiong said, "Regarding Jiangbei, you're saying that kid surnamed Ye, haven't we gotten rid of him yet"

Shangguan Zhuo said, "Indeed, we failed this time."

"How do Shangguan Hongbing and Shangguan Hongxia do things They can't even handle such a small matter. Just in case, I sent him a silver corpse as well."

Although it is only a fourth-rank silver corpse, it is comparable to an early stage Earth rank master. Could it not even kill a small doctor

Shangguan Zhuo said, "Big brother, not only did we fail to kill Ye Bufan this time, but our Shangguan family suffered heavy losses."

Shenguan Hongbing and Shenguan Hongxia's soul lamps have been extinguished, indicating that both individuals have been killed.

And one silver corpse and ten bronze corpses that we sent out have disappeared without a trace, and to this day we haven't found any sign of them.

"Dead Dare anyone touch someone from the Shangguan family"

Although Shangguan Xiong's expression didn't change much, a chilling aura suddenly burst from his body, and he said in a cold voice: "It seems that our Shangguan family has been out of sight for many years, and some people have forgotten our power."ng in an instant.It's not good, this person is poisoned.Park Jae Sang's expression changed drastically, realizing this. It was a pity that such a strange poison had no way to be dealt with."Pfft!"He c...
