Chapter Eighty-One: Fall from Grace

n and had nothing to do with me, he was someone I personally promoted. It's embarrassing for me in the end.The most critical point is that Ye Bufan or Wang Jianfeng are both extremely valued by the ot..."Want to live Then I'll spare your life!"

"Ye Bufan said as he raised his foot and lightly tapped the ground. The body of Xuanji Laodao suddenly shot up, and then two silver needles instantly pierced his Shencang acupoint and Dantian acupoint."

"Ah..."

The Xuanji Old Dao let out a soul-piercing scream in an instant. Although Ye Bufan didn't kill him, these two silver needles had ruined his Taoism and martial arts. From now on, he would no longer be any Xuanji master, but just an ordinary old daoist.

A lifetime of ascetic practice was wasted, which was even more painful for him than death.

"Ye Bufan, I'll kill you!"

The Xuanji old Dao shouted and tried to rush over and fight Ye Bufan to the death, but unfortunately, his cultivation was abolished. He had no fighting ability anymore. For a moment, his body felt extremely uncomfortable. Before he could even take two steps, he fell to the ground with a thud.

Qin Chuchu looked at everything before her, she couldn't believe it was true. She never imagined that the highly respected Master Xuanji would be so helpless in front of Ye Bufan.

At this moment, the onlookers around slowly came to their senses. The captain of the bodyguard leaned in and whispered to Luo Wentao, “Young Master, should we help the master”

Luo Wentou said coldly: "Even Xuanji Laodao was beaten like a dog, are you sure you can beat that kid"

This man has always been deep and calculating. Though the incident with Master Xuanji was a great shock to him, he quickly recovered his composure and began to rationally analyze the situation at hand.

"Uh…"

The bodyguard captain only then realized what kind of person he was facing. Daoist Xuanji, usually aloof and powerful, was being trampled underfoot by this individual. Someone like this was simply beyond his capabilities.

He said again, “Young Master, why don’t we call the police”

"Report to the police You think they'd even come to a place like this"

Luo Wentou glared harshly at the bodyguard captain, generally speaking, people of their level rarely solved problems through official channels.

Besides, he was involved in too many shady dealings inside the Paradise Club. Calling the police would be like walking into a trap.

The bodyguard captain also realized he had spoken out of turn, and stammered, "Young Master, what should we do now"

Luo Wentou said: "All we need to do is nothing, just watch honestly."

Ye Bufan glanced at the ashen-faced Xuanji Master and said coldly, "You have committed countless evils with your cultivation. Not killing you is already a great favor from heaven."

Tell me, were the tricks inside Shìwài Táoyuán Residential Area your doing

Xuanji Lao Dao glared at Ye Bufan with venomous eyes: "Boy, you dare to cripple my cultivation One day, I will kill you."

Ye Bufan let out a cold smile, raised his hand and took out seven silver needles. In an instant, they were inserted into the old Daoist's Dantian, Baihui, Fengchi, and other seven major acupoints.

This is the Seven Acupuncture Needles to Calm the Soul, a technique passed down through generations of ancient medicine practitioners. This method directly controls a person's spiritual energy, and afterward, they will answer any question truthfully without any hidden intentions.

He asked again, "Come on, is the Peach Blossom Garden Community your scheme"

"I did it!"

< Xuanji Lao Dao's eyes went blank for a moment, and he replied like a primary school student answering a question: "I saw the land with the Luo family back then, so when Guan Dongping's construction was almost finished, I set up a Xuan Yin Gathering Curse array there. ">

The goal is to make it impossible for him to build and sell it. We'll wait until the end, and then the Luo family will step in and buy it.

"My goodness, so that's what happened! No wonder there are always so many strange things going on in the Worldly Paradise Community. It turns out this old Taoist priest is behind it all."

"It's outrageous! Someone invested billions, and the value of this apartment complex was in the tens of billions, but now it's like this. If not for this guy stepping in, I bet they would have sold it to them for a hundred million..."

"The Luo family is simply shameless, colluding with the old scoundrel to do such a thing…"

The people around were buzzing with talk. Since Xuanji Master was trampled underfoot by Ye Bufan, he had completely lost his luster in their eyes.

Although many people had previously held Xuanji Lao Dao in high regard, a master who was beaten like a dog, a master with no ability to resist, a master whose cultivation base was abolished, directly fell from their pedestal of reverence.

Luo Wentao seemed to have been mentally prepared long ago, his expression was not too flustered. He took two steps forward and said: "Don't listen to this old Taoist talking nonsense, our Luo family has always done things openly and honestly."

“He did all these things himself, and we have nothing to do with them.”

He also saw that Xuanji Lao Dao had been stripped of his cultivation and was no longer the revered Xuanji Master he once was. Therefore, he spoke without restraint, directly washing his hands of any responsibility.

Ye Bufan looked at him with a cold smile: "Young Master Luo, you change faces really quickly. In just a few words, you washed yourself clean."

Luo Wentao said: "Mr. Ye, you shouldn't believe this old Taoist's one-sided words. To put it bluntly, our Luo family has also been deceived by him. We have been cheated out of a lot of money over the years."

"We are also a victim. Thankfully, you exposed Lao Dao's true colors today. Our Luo family expresses our gratitude to you."

Ye Bufan certainly wouldn't believe his tall tales, but these matters had nothing to do with him. As long as the Luo family didn't provoke him, he was too lazy to care about their dirty business.

He withdrew the silver needles from the old Daoist's body, then kicked him away, "Get out!"

He wasted the cultivation of Xuanji Lao Dao, which also avenged Guan Dongping. As for what happens next, let this old man fend for himself.

Xuanji Laodao crawled out from the ground, his eyes hollow and lifeless. He walked out of the Yuan Shi Exhibition hall in a daze.

Yè Búfán said to Luò Wén tāo, "I don't want to get involved in your business with the old Daoist, but the 100 million yuan bet I won from you is now due."

"I... I..."

Luo Wentou's face instantly turned extremely ugly. He had bet with Ye Bufan, thinking he was a sure winner. Even if he lost, as long as he dragged until Master Xuanji made his appearance, he could take everything back.

But now everything has changed, even Master Xuanye has become a complete cripple, taking away his greatest reliance.

"What's wrong, Luo Dashao Aren't you going to pay up"

Though Ye Bufan spoke in an extremely calm tone, Luo Wentao couldn't help but feel a shiver run down his spine. Facing someone who had even crippled Lian Xuanji, the master, he didn't even have the guts to renege on his debt.

"I lost, I lost. Luo Mou is a person who never shirks his debts." Luo Wentao said with a wry smile, "It's just that I don't have that much cash on hand right now."

Although large corporations like them have plenty of money, they wouldn't typically keep that much cash on hand in their daily operations.

For example, back then, even Li Ka-shing, after his son was kidnapped, it took him a lot of effort to gather 1 billion funds.

Besides, the Luo family is nowhere near as wealthy as the Li family. If it weren't for their casino, they probably wouldn't even have three to four hundred million in liquid funds.

Ye Bufan said faintly, "Do you mean you don't have the money to honor your bet"

Lu WenTao quickly said: “Mr. Ye, our Luo family did indeed invest all of our available funds into this jadeite exhibition.”

"What if we do it this way I'll give you a 20% discount. You choose a gemstone worth one hundred million yuan from me, and I'll consider that as fulfilling my bet."

At this point, he dared not provoke Ye Bufan anymore and could only use raw stones to repay his gambling debts.

Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!e would it be in Tianlang City It would be useless except for running away. He might even be killed by the barbarians as soon as he gets there."Fang Huayu also chimed in, "There's no need to dwell on...
