Chapter 2152: Leaving Some Money for the Road

Ye Bufan said: "Don't worry, Uncle Defu, there's always a way when you get to the mountain. We'll find a solution eventually."After dinner, he bid farewell to Wang Defu and then called An Yimo to rest...Ye Bufan smiled and nodded: "That's right, we're just going to eat and drink here, waiting for them to send the collected medicinal herbs over."

"Don't worry, Brother Ye. As long as I'm here, they won't be able to get away with not paying protection money."

Jiang Fangzhou rolled up his sleeves, ready for a big fight.

"There's no need to make things so complicated."

Ye Bufan, speaking, took out a dozen or so array flags and threw them outside the octagonal pavilion.

With a deafening boom, the octagonal pavilion trembled. The flags surrounding it vanished into the ground in an instant.

This commotion was quite noticeable, Zhao Mingzhen and Xia Hou Ting heard it too.

But as he turned his head back, he saw nothing unusual. He immediately turned his head back and hurried to collect herbs.

After all, time is running out. They must make haste if they are to gather all the herbs here.

Ye Bufan finished setting up the formation, then took out a pile of food and jade slips he had snatched from Xia Hou Ting.

Everyone ate and drank while teaching Jiang Fangzhou and others to identify the herbs in the medicine garden.

Time passed by little by little, and Ye Bufan and the others seemed like tyrannical slave masters, indulging themselves in food and drink, living a carefree life.

And Zhao Mingzhen and the others were working tirelessly, each one afraid of any delay, doing their best to harvest the medicinal herbs.

Ye Bufan took out his electronic watch and glanced at it. Three days had already passed, and there was only a little more than an hour left before the Tianluo Secret Realm closed.

Zhao Mingzhen and his companions, although they did not have such modern timekeeping devices, also had timers made of arrays carved onto jade talismans.

The time they had to witness was coming, and they were about to gather the last of the spirit medicine, storing it all in their storage rings. They were all incredibly excited.

This trip to the Heavenly Net Secret Realm was definitely worthwhile, everyone gained a lot.

"Okay, let's go back."

After Zhao Mingzhen finished speaking, she stood up and looked around. Only then did she suddenly realize that there was no way out.

Others also discovered this problem. Before entering the Tianluo Secret Realm, Zhang He had specifically reminded everyone that they could only be teleported out in open areas outside, and it was not possible inside a cave dwelling.

That is to say, once trapped here, even if one can escape from here, they will be trapped in the Heavenly Net Secret Realm and unable to return to the Kunlun Continent.

Suiyue Li also realized the problem and said coldly, "Everyone search around and see where the exit is."

Everyone moved without hesitation, scattering to explore the space for a way out.

They were all incredibly fast. Xia Hou Ting disappeared into the mist with a flash of his figure. He walked forward, but didn't get far before being violently thrown back by an invisible barrier.

"This..."

He steadied himself and looked forward, but the mist remained, obscuring everything from view.

"Break it for me!"

He roared, and a thick bolt of lightning crashed down.

Unfortunately, his thunderous power, capable of splitting mountains and shattering rocks, met with no reaction upon striking the invisible barrier. It quickly dissipated into the mist.

"This..."

Xiahou Ting felt something was amiss and immediately drew another sword, slashing it towards the barrier.

The result was the same as before. The sword was flung high into the air, while the barrier ahead remained as solid as a mountain, not even trembling in the slightest.

Others are the same, they haven't found a way out, and they have all discovered that invisible barrier, quickly being blocked back. Even if they try their best, they can't break through it.

These people soon gathered again to discuss countermeasures. Xia Hou Ting said, "Senior Brother Zhao, what should we do It seems like we are trapped here."

This thing is very sturdy. I can't break it even if I try my hardest.

Hai Chenggong said, "How about this, we all attack at the same point together Maybe that'll open it."

Zhao Ming shook his head in confirmation: "It's no use, I just tried it, the barriers here are much stronger than the previous restrictions."

"Don't say we can't open it, even if we did, we would have missed the time to teleport back to Kunlun Continent."

Hearing him say that, everyone present became a little tense.

"What are we going to do We can't just stay trapped here forever, can we"

Although this place is abundant in spiritual energy and suitable for cultivation, to be trapped here forever would be useless, even if one cultivated for a thousand years.

Once this opportunity to enter the Tianluo Secret Realm is missed, it won't open again for ten years. And even then, there's no guarantee that one will be able to get out from there.

If we're stuck here forever, then we're truly going to die.

At this moment, everyone realized the seriousness of the situation. The excitement they had felt earlier when collecting the elixir vanished completely, replaced by a deep sense of worry.

Shui Yueli said, “Don’t worry everyone, I feel like the one controlling this space is an array formation. As long as we break the array, we can leave immediately.”

Upon hearing her finish, everyone's eyes lit up and they immediately thought of Ye Bufan.

Before, it was easy to break the restrictions of the medicine garden, perhaps this formation could also be broken.

Everyone turned their heads and saw that Ye Bufan and a few others were sitting inside the pavilion, drinking and looking extremely relaxed. They didn't seem to be worried about being trapped here at all.

Seeing him like this, everyone's hearts felt inexplicably more at ease. Since the other party wasn't afraid to be trapped here, they had hope of getting out.

Everyone stepped forward unanimously. Shui Yueli stepped forward and said, "Senior Brother Ye, we are trapped here. Do you have any way to break this formation"

"There's no need for that."

Ye Bufan put down the wine glass in his hand and said to the crowd, "This octagonal pavilion is a teleportation array. Just teleport out from here, there's no need to break that formation."

"What So this is the teleportation array"

Everyone present was overjoyed. Zhao Mingzhen took the first step towards the octagonal pavilion, ready to teleport out ahead of everyone else. After all, he always felt a little uneasy here.

He hadn't even gotten close when a buzzing sound filled the air, and an invisible barrier sent him flying back. Clearly, a protective formation had been activated.

Zhao Mingzhen's expression changed instantly, and he immediately realized that all of this had something to do with Ye Bufan. He glared fiercely and said, "What do you mean"

"It's nothing special, the teleportation array was broken after all. I worked hard to fix it, so if you want to use it, there will be a fee."

Ye Bufan wore a wide smile. In fact, the formation was originally good; he had just made some adjustments, taking complete control into his own hands. He also added an extra layer of protection around it.

"You..."

Zhao Mingzhen was immediately furious, his eyes blazing with anger. He had been toiling away, painstakingly collecting herbs, while this fellow was over here feasting and drinking with two women, having a grand old time. When had he ever worked hard

"You quickly dismantle the formation, or I'll break through it directly!"

"Sure, whatever you want!"

Ye Bufan gave a playful smile, then didn't look at him again. He turned back, picked up his cup and clinked it with Lu Xuemian and the other two people, then drank it all in one gulp.

"Kid, do you really think I can't break through your formation"

Zhaoming Zhen was truly enraged, he reached out and the Qingfeng Sword appeared before him.

"All Swords Return to Their Master!"

With a roar, the Qingfeng Sword transformed into hundreds of sword lights dancing in the air.

Then it coalesced into a giant sword, several feet long, and slashed fiercely at the transparent light.
