Yuan Huairen's palm seemed to have little momentum, but after the blow, the momentum on his body dissipated, his eyes lost their vitality, and he fell to the ground with a plop, losing all breath.
Everyone present was a cultivator, and the ones with the lowest cultivation level had all reached the Dongxu stage. They could all see clearly.
At this moment, Yuan Huairen not only had his physical body extinguished, but his soul had also completely dissipated into nothingness.
Although a whole body was left behind, it was too dead to be dead anymore.
"Palace Master..."
Feng Xijiu, Lu Wuyang and others cried out in grief and gathered around. Looking at Yuan Huairen's body, their eyes were full of sadness and anger.
In their opinion, it was Tonghaimeng and Ye Bufan who forced their palace master to death.
"let's go!"
Lu Wuyang directly picked up Yuan Huairen's body and prepared to leave with everyone in Lancang Hall.
"Wait a moment!"
Ye Bufan blocked everyone's way.
Feng Xi's Jiu Hengmei looked coldly: "What are you going to do? The master of the palace is dead, do you still want to destroy the body to vent your anger?"
Lu Wuyang's eyes were also full of anger: "That's right. Your Tonghai Alliance promised it before. Are you going to regret it now?"
Ye Bufan ignored the two people at all. He came to Lu Wuyang in a flash and stretched out his hand to grab Yuan Huairen's body.
"you……"
Lu Wuyang was extremely angry. In his opinion, Ye Bufan wanted to destroy the body of the palace master.
He wanted to resist, but unfortunately his cultivation was too low.
With Ye Bufan's current level of cultivation, even if he did not use the power of the formation, a Mahayana monk would not have the slightest ability to resist.
Under the gaze of everyone, his right hand came to Yuan Huairen's body like lightning, but he did not touch the body but grabbed a piece of jade on his chest.
When everyone reacted, Ye Bufan had already stepped back, playing with the blue-black jade stone in his hand.
What is this? Is there something magical about it? Or is it particularly precious?
Ye Bufan's move immediately aroused everyone's curiosity, and everyone looked at the ancient jade in unison.
The same goes for everyone in Lancang Hall, who all looked over with stern eyes.
Feng Xijiu looked at it for a long time but didn't see anything special about this stone, so she couldn't help but say.
"Master Ye, after all, this can be regarded as the palace master's relic, and it's not a particularly precious thing. Isn't it appropriate for you to take it away?"
"Yeah?"
A joking smile appeared on Ye Bufan's lips, and he ignored the people in Lancang Hall, but looked down at the black ancient jade in his hand.
"Palace Master Yuan, what do you think, is it appropriate?"
"Well……"
Now everyone was shocked by him. They didn't understand what it meant. What does a stone have to do with Palace Master Yuan?
"What's going on with this guy? What is he going to do? Is he crazy?"
"I don't know, why are you calling Palace Master Yuan in front of the stone? Hasn't the Palace Master committed suicide?"
"Isn't this guy trying to be mysterious? His purpose is to possess this piece of ancient jade. Maybe it's some kind of rare treasure..."
Everyone was talking in shock, and even the grief and anger in the hearts of those in Lancang Hall became less intense.
After Ye Bufan finished speaking, the stone in his hand showed no reaction.
He laughed jokingly again: "Old Yuan, are you still pretending to be dead? Do you think you can deceive me like this?"
Hearing his words, Zhang Yujing couldn't help but ask: "Ye Yixian, what does this mean? Is there something mysterious about this piece of jade?"
"You may not know it, Alliance Leader Zhang, but this is not an ordinary ancient jade called a soul storage stone. The greatest effect of this thing is that it can store the soul of a cultivator.
Generally speaking, if the body of a cultivator dies, the soul must find a suitable cauldron to be reborn as soon as possible, otherwise it will inevitably end up as a soul after a long time.
But having this thing is completely different. Not only can the soul survive for a long time, but it is also not easy to be discovered. It is definitely a rare treasure!
It's a pity that there is one drawback, that is, it can only be used once."
Zhang Yujing was dumbfounded when he heard this: "What Ye Yixian means is that Yuan Huairen's soul has not dissipated, but is inside this ancient jade?"
Hearing what he said, everyone in Lancang Hall also looked over with shock in their eyes, looking forward to Ye Bufan's answer.
"You're right, this old fox really has a good trick up his sleeve."
Ye Bufan said, "The immortal master played the tragedy card with us and committed suicide in exchange for the livelihood of everyone in Lancang Palace.
It looks great and sad, but in fact it is just to hide the truth and finally achieve the goal of the golden cicada escaping from its shell.
When he slapped the palm just now, it only shattered the vitality of the physical body, but the soul left the Niwan Palace first and entered the Soul Storage Stone.
Wait until everyone in Lancang Hall takes him out, and then choose a good opportunity to select a disciple with good qualifications to take over and be reborn. This plan can be said to be perfect."
After Ye Bufan finished speaking, everyone in Lancang Hall looked shocked.
Just now, they were filled with grief and indignation over the death of the palace master, but they never imagined that there was a huge conspiracy hidden behind this, and that every one of them might become the target of being snatched away.
"You...you are talking nonsense, this is impossible."
Feng Xijiu stood up to object, but she herself felt a little unsure. For some reason, she subconsciously felt that what the man in front of her said was right.
"Whether it's true or not, you'll know soon."
After Ye Bufan finished speaking, he exerted a little force, and the piece of ancient jade in his hand instantly turned into a ball of powder.
At this moment, white light rushed up, transforming into Yuan Huairen in mid-air, which was clearly his soul.
Now there was an uproar, with faces full of shock. It turned out that the old guy was really not dead, he just used a trick to escape from his shell.
The previous sorrow and anger of the disciples of Lancang Palace were wiped away. At this moment, they realized that they had been being used by the master of the palace, and they might even be kidnapped after they left.
Lu Wuyang even threw the corpse in his arms to the ground. He was an outstanding genius disciple of Lancang Hall, not a fool.
Once Yuan Huairen leaves here, he will be the first candidate to be seized.
After all, in the entire sect, he and Feng Xijiu are the two most qualified people, and the other person is a woman, so the best partner can only be herself.
"Boy, how did you see through this?"
Yuan Huairen was almost going crazy. Not only did his plan fail, but he also lost a physical body and a soul storage stone.
After the deaths of Yin Weiyong and Han Qiong, he saw the power of the Seven Heavenly Thunder Killing Formation, and knew that with his own cultivation, there was no possibility of escaping.
But this guy was cunning and cunning, and he immediately thought of this way to escape the golden cicada.
In his opinion, all his plans were seamless and close to perfection, but he never expected that the other party would see through it at a glance.
"It's very simple, because I know your soul storage stone!"
Ye Bufan said, "Originally, a stone alone can't prove anything, but you are such a cunning guy, how could you sacrifice for other people? This is obviously abnormal.
Put the two together, and it's not difficult to see your trick at all."
"Young man named Ye, just wait for me, I won't let you go!"
Yuan Huairen roared angrily, then turned into a white light and fled towards the Heavenly Thunder Seven Killing Formation.
