Longevity Hacker: When Every Curse Becomes a Blessing

Chapter 26 – Low-key Ye Bufan

While others who transmigrate either end up saving damsels in distress or escorting some young lady, he, on the other hand, finds himself with a hood over his head, becoming a kidnapper.

After sending Gu He away, Ye Bufan began organizing his magical instruments and talismans.

"Lv Luo's high-grade flying sword will do for now, and these dozen or so top-tier second-level talismans should suffice."

Previously, he had robbed Li Kui of four top-tier magical instruments, but they were too conspicuous. As soon as they were revealed, Zhang San would know it was him.

For this mission, he didn't plan to expose too much of his strength. After all, he was just playing a minor role.

The next morning, Ye Bufan gave Lv Luo some instructions and then headed alone to the mission hall.

At this moment, three people were already waiting there, two men and one woman, all with a cultivation level of the sixth layer of Foundation Establishment.

"This must be Junior Brother Ye, right?" said the leading woman, dressed in a red outfit, her appearance quite charming.

She looked Ye Bufan up and down, feeling a bit dissatisfied with his weak cultivation level of the first layer of Foundation Establishment. However, upon seeing Ye Bufan's handsome face, her dissatisfaction vanished instantly.

"My name is Liu Keqing. For this mission, Junior Brother Ye, you can stay by my side. I'll protect you," the charming woman said with a breath as fragrant as orchids, her eyes filled with a hint of flirtation.

This scene made the two accompanying men immediately displeased, casting unfriendly glances at Ye Bufan.

"Thank you, Senior Sister," Ye Bufan replied with a dry laugh, somewhat regretting that he hadn't disguised himself. These fellow female cultivators were really too eager.

He turned to look at the two young men. They had square faces and looked very similar, clearly twins.

"These two are Wu Zhen and Wu Feng. They're quite powerful, and some righteous cultivators have suffered losses at their hands," Liu Keqing introduced.

"Mm," the two square-faced men nodded coldly at Ye Bufan and then ignored him, turning instead to flatter Liu Keqing.

A moment later, two more male disciples arrived. One was a thin man at the fifth layer of Foundation Establishment, and the other was a tall man at the seventh layer.

Their faces were full of hostility, clearly not easy to deal with.

"These are disciples from Saint-Demon Peak. The tall one is called Mo Hong, and the thin one is Wang Yuan. These two are close to Liu Wangchuan, so Junior Brother should avoid provoking them," Liu Keqing advised through voice transmission.

Ye Bufan's eyes flashed as he nodded slightly.

"I'll be in charge of this mission. I'll arrange the actions. Do you have any objections?" the tall man declared, asserting his dominance as he glanced at Ye Bufan and the others.

The Wu Zhen brothers quickly nodded with a smile, their eyes showing fear. Mo Hong had the highest cultivation level present, and even Li Kui had suffered losses at his hands in the past. They wouldn't dare provoke him.

"Junior Brother Ye, although you're the disciple of the Patriarch, it's best to follow the rules," Mo Hong said, looking at Ye Bufan.

The others also looked over, their eyes filled with inexplicable meaning.

In their view, Ye Bufan, with his first-layer Foundation Establishment, was just here to "gain some experience," a burden they had to accept since it was the first mission of the Patriarch's first disciple.

However, if Ye Bufan held them back, even if they taught him a lesson, the Patriarch wouldn't say anything.

"Of course," Ye Bufan replied with a smile, not getting angry. He didn't care about people who posed no threat to him.

Seeing Ye Bufan's good attitude, Mo Hong nodded in satisfaction, then a large sword flew out from his sleeve, and he leaped onto it.

"Let's go. Let's finish the mission and return quickly."

The others also took out their magical instruments, flying towards the outside of the Heavenly Demon Sect.

The group of six all had top-tier magical instruments, except for Ye Bufan, whose was only high-grade, which inevitably drew strange looks from the others.

"It seems... the Patriarch doesn't care much for this disciple, not even bestowing a top-tier magical instrument?" Mo Hong's eyes flickered, a smile appearing on his face.

As they traveled, the others moved quickly, while Ye Bufan's speed was incredibly slow, leaving Mo Hong and the others speechless.

"Junior Brother, let Senior Sister take you along," Liu Keqing seized the opportunity to warmly invite Ye Bufan.

She was riding a purple ribbon, moving very fast.

Ye Bufan didn't refuse, stepping onto it, immediately enveloped by a fragrant breeze.

This made the four men a bit envious.

Liu Keqing was a disciple of Gu Peak. Although not a peerless beauty, her charm techniques attracted many male cultivators in the Heavenly Demon Sect.

After leaving the Heavenly Demon Sect, the group of six traveled further and further away. Ye Bufan squinted, his gaze shifting between Mo Hong, Liu Keqing, and the others.

"Who is trying to lure me out of the Heavenly Demon Sect? Is there someone among them?" Ye Bufan pondered. From their brief interaction, their attitudes towards him seemed normal.

"No rush, they'll reveal themselves eventually," Ye Bufan thought calmly. On the surface, he was just a first-layer Foundation Establishment cultivator, but in reality, he feared no one below Core Formation.

Killing these few would be as easy as slaughtering chickens.

The person trying to lure him out couldn't possibly send a Core Formation cultivator against him, right?

Throughout the journey, Ye Bufan remained low-key.

The others weren't surprised. In the Heavenly Demon Sect, Ye Bufan was an anomaly. Despite being the Patriarch's first disciple, he was extremely cautious, like a turtle in a wolf's den.

About five days later, the group of six traveled several hundred miles and finally arrived at Liuyun City.

Liuyun City was located next to the Wan Beast Mountain Range in the Zhao Kingdom, at the intersection of the righteous and demonic factions, as well as the demon race.

Trade was extremely prosperous.

"Feels so familiar," Ye Bufan stood on a hillside, looking at the magnificent city ahead, feeling nostalgic.

The reason he chose to live here initially was because Liuyun City prohibited killing, and few dared to act openly.

The reason, of course, was its city lord, a Elemental Infant True Lord!

When Chu Zixue captured Ye Bufan, it was done secretly.

After entering the city, the group checked into an inn.

"Junior Brother Ye, I heard you were captured by Junior Sister Chu here?" Wu Feng, one of the twins, chuckled.

Ye Bufan's background wasn't a secret in the Heavenly Demon Sect.

This novel is available on "p𝑎wread.com".

"So what?" Ye Bufan glanced at him, knowing this guy was mocking him.

Throughout the journey, the brothers were envious of Liu Keqing's closeness to him, often making sarcastic remarks, which was quite annoying.

If it weren't for guarding against the mastermind, he would have already dealt with the brothers, sending them to meet their maker.

"Nothing much. Since Junior Brother Ye is from Liuyun City, you can handle gathering information on Xu Zhengyi," Wu Feng said, then looked at Mo Hong with a fawning expression. "What do you think, Senior Brother Mo?"

He didn't even bother asking Ye Bufan's opinion.

"Very well, then I'll leave it to Junior Brother Ye," Mo Hong said thoughtfully.

"Alright," Ye Bufan agreed without hesitation, leaving the inn immediately.

Of course, his quick agreement wasn't just about gathering information on Xu Zhengyi. He was also seeking opportunities for Core Formation and planning to sell some of his techniques for spirit stones.

After Ye Bufan left, the Wu Feng brothers couldn't help but sneer, "He can only do some errands. If it weren't for his master being the Patriarch, giving him a core disciple status, a guy at the first layer of Foundation Establishment wouldn't even qualify for this mission."

The high difficulty of the mission meant great benefits behind it.

Thinking about having to share contribution points with Ye Bufan, the two were quite displeased.

"Enough talk. You two go find out where the righteous disciples are gathering," Mo Hong waved his hand, then instructed Liu Keqing, "Junior Sister Liu, please investigate the patrol patterns of the city lord's patrol team. After all, if we act in the city, we might attract the patrol's attention. This is for our retreat."

"Alright, I'll make sure to find out."

"Okay."

Wu Feng, his brother, and Liu Keqing left the inn one after another.

Once the four left, only Mo Hong and the thin man remained in the room.

"Senior Brother, it seems the Wu Feng brothers don't get along with Ye Bufan?" the thin man chuckled sinisterly. "How about..."

"You'd better put that thought away. Even Senior Brother Wangchuan only wants us to find out the secret of that kid's Supreme Foundation Establishment. He doesn't dare to kill him, and you want those brothers to make a move?" Mo Hong snorted coldly, a greedy look flashing in his eyes.

Not just Liu Wangchuan, the entire Heavenly Demon Sect was curious about how Ye Bufan achieved Supreme Foundation Establishment.

Those who survive in the demonic path are smart.

They didn't believe that Ye Bufan, with his lower-grade spiritual root, achieved Supreme Foundation Establishment by coincidence.

"Let the righteous ones interrogate him harshly. I'm sure a turtle like him will spill the secret," Mo Hong said with a sinister smile.
