The first two thousand one hundred and seventy-six chapters
Zhong Limei nodded and said: "This is the best! Unless it is absolutely necessary, it is better not to provoke that old ghost Dugu Xiu.
After all these years, no one knows how high his cultivation level is."
Ye Bufan said: "What is the situation of that patron king? How much do you know about it?"
Zhong Limei said: "The patron king Dugu Yuan is famous in the Dashun Empire, second only to the current emperor Dugu Hao.
As the core child of the Dugu family, he is said to be the most favored by the ancestor.
The patron king is the title given by Dugu Xiu, which means to tell the world that although he is not the current emperor, he is the patron of this grandson.
Among the princes and grandsons of the entire Dashun Empire, he is the only one who lives in the inner city, and is only separated from the Dashun Palace by a wall, which shows how favored he is."
Ye Bufan nodded. It seemed that if he wanted to touch this backer king, he would eventually have to pass the test of Dugu Xiu.
Nalan Yujia asked: "If he is so favored, why didn't he become emperor?"
Zhong Limei said: "Not many outsiders know about this. Legend has it that Dugu Yuan is only interested in beauty and is not interested in anything else, so Dugu Hao was allowed to ascend the throne."
Later, Ye Bufan learned more about it and basically had a good idea of the situation in the Dashun Empire.
After nine days of rapid flight, and more than a day later, we arrived at the Imperial City of Dashun in the evening of the next day.
Compared to the Daxing Empire, the imperial city of the Dashun Empire was somewhat smaller, but it looked very prosperous.
After nine days of rain, Ye Bufan asked Chu Lingxi to take out a veil and wear it, otherwise she would be in trouble if she was mistaken for the princess.
Everything was ready, and everyone came to the city gate.
Zhong Limei took out a waist badge and waved it, and the soldiers guarding the city immediately let him go. It can be seen that as an Eight-Star Sect, Shenjian Villa is still very famous here.
After everyone entered the city, they first walked around and found the location of the imperial city, and then found an inn to stay.
At midnight, Ye Bufan packed up and prepared to set off.
Xiao Qing finally put down the game console in his hand: "Brother Ye, I'll go with you."
Nalan Yujia also said: "Yes, yes, there is strength in numbers, we will go with you."
"That won't work. I'm just investigating the situation. It's not a fight. Why are there so many people there?"
Ye Bufan said, "If there are too many people, it will be easier to be exposed. It will cause unnecessary trouble. I can just go by myself. You all can wait here."
"Oh well."
Xiaoqing pouted and sat next to him to play games again. Ye Bufan jumped out of the window and quickly disappeared into the night.
When he arrived outside the imperial city, he was not in a hurry to enter. Instead, he chose a remote and uninhabited corner and quietly set up a teleportation array here.
This teleportation array is teleported outside the city and has been arranged before entering the city.
Since we know that there may be an old ghost with super strong cultivation in the palace, we must be fully prepared.
After arranging it, he set up a hidden formation outside, then jumped up and sneaked into the imperial city quietly.
Now Ye Bufan's cultivation has reached the middle stage of integration, and his concealment skills are unparalleled.
He sneaked in quietly without anyone noticing.
The palace of the patron king was very large, separated from the inner imperial city by only one wall, and was extremely luxuriously decorated.
Although Ye Bufan's spiritual consciousness is extremely powerful, knowing that there is an old monster like Dugu Xiu here, he does not dare to use it casually, and carefully controls it within a hundred meters.
Since Situ Dianmo was the chosen princess, she must live on the inner side of the house.
He determined the direction and approached slowly. At this moment, two watchmen dressed in family clothes walked towards him.
Ye Bufan made sure that no one else was approaching, so he quietly followed these two people, stretched out his hand to seal the acupuncture points, and then took him into the Dragon King Palace in an instant.
After entering, the two people were confused and looked around in horror, not knowing what was going on.
Ye Bufan directly used the Soul Capture Technique: "Tell me, where is Princess Situ?"
"have no idea."
The two of them gave the answer together.
Ye Bufan took these two people away, fearing that they would attract the attention of the palace over time. Since they did not know the whereabouts of Situ Dianmo, they did not ask any more questions and directly knocked the two people unconscious.
Ye Erlang was called over, put on the clothes of two watchmen, and quickly changed his appearance using the disguise technique, then left the Dragon King's Palace and returned to the palace.
All this was done extremely quickly, taking less than a minute in total, and no one else noticed when he came back.
Ye Bufan and Ye Erlang began to patrol the inner house, using their spiritual senses to look for Situ Dianmo's aura as they walked.
With this identity as a cover, they acted openly and honestly, and it took them almost an hour to inspect the inner house.
Everything went very smoothly, but the result disappointed him.
There were many women in the inner house, many of them even wearing princess attire, but none of them looked like Situ, or even had the slightest breath.
Normally, as a vampire queen, her aura is very powerful and can be easily distinguished.
But now no one can be found, and there are only two possibilities. Either Situ Dianmo is not here, or he is hidden.
"Does it mean that no one is inside the house?"
With this idea in mind, Ye Bufan and the other two patrolled outside again.
It's a pity that he searched the entire palace and scanned every corner with his spiritual consciousness, but still couldn't find Situ Dianmo.
"What exactly is going on?"
Just when he was puzzled, a head guard wearing an officer's uniform walked towards him.
The aura on this guy's body is powerful, and he has already reached the early stage of integration.
The head of the guard said coldly: "What's going on with you two? Aren't you from the inner house? Why did you come outside?"
Normally, the palace has strict rules. Those who are in the inner house belong to the inner house and cannot come outside.
In his desperation, Ye Bufan didn't think too much and didn't want to attract his attention.
"Master Guard, it's like this..."
When Ye Bufan said this, he suddenly used the Soul Capturing Technique to confuse the other party's mind.
"Tell me, where is Princess Situ?"
"I have no idea."
The head guard gave the same answer as the watchman.
Ye Bufan was filled with doubts, why didn't he know? Could it be that Tao Ran was lying to him? This was impossible!
No matter what, it is impossible for the other party to know that he knows Situ Dianmo, and there is no need to lie to him.
He asked again: "Have you met Princess Situ?"
"I saw it ten days ago, but I haven't seen it since."
The leader of the guards answered again, confirming Tao Ran's statement. Situ Dianmo was indeed here, but his current whereabouts were unknown.
Just when Ye Bufan was about to ask more questions, suddenly a powerful spiritual consciousness swept over him.
"This is the powerful Dongxu!"
Ye Bufan screamed in his heart, and he was so anxious that he used the soul-stirring technique in the palace.
The fluctuation in mental power must have attracted the attention of the old monster.
Thinking of this, he no longer dared to hesitate and took Ye Erlang directly into the sky, shooting towards the outside of the palace like two meteors.
Behind them, a white-haired old man in gray robes jumped into the air and chased towards them at a faster speed.
"Rat, now that you're here, don't even think about leaving!"
