ou chose! You're so rich, yet you can't even afford to spend a little money on you."An Yimo remained silent, two more tears sliding down her cheeks. At this moment, she was utterly disappointed with t...The surface buildings of the entire base are just a smokescreen, the real core is underground.

Ye Bufan entered the underground passage. With his cultivation, he occasionally encountered some blockers who were instantly killed.

He moved forward while scanning his surroundings with his spiritual sense. While finding other things might be difficult, locating spirit stones would be much easier.

This thing or things will more or less have spiritual energy overflowing, and cultivators are the most sensitive to spiritual energy.

Soon, Ye Bufan used the Dragon-Slaying Dagger to open a steel giant gate that was over ten centimeters thick, entering an underground hall.

This place is very spacious, but right now the base is in a state of extreme disarray. Everyone has been deployed, so it looks incredibly empty.

A single bearded white man stood before a large screen, hysterically commanding his subordinates to fight against the celestial soldiers of Xuanyuan Pavilion.

This guy must be the African head, Turan, that Yamamoto Soushi mentioned. However, Ye Bufan wasn't very interested in him and just knocked him unconscious with a palm strike.

Then his gaze shifted to a safe in the corner. With a sweep of his divine sense, he saw 90 low-grade spirit stones inside.

A surge of joy coursed through his heart as he raised the dragon-slaying dagger in his hand. With a swift strike, he sliced through the heavy vault door.

Apart from 90 spirit stones, there were also many neatly arranged stacks of beautiful banknotes, worth about tens of millions.

As expected, Ye Bufan thought to himself, moving his mind and directly storing everything into his storage ring. He then carried the big-bearded Turlam towards the exit.

Suddenly deprived of their commander's guidance, the cyborgs and special forces at the base became even more chaotic, unable to withstand the onslaught of Xuanyuan Pavilion's celestial soldiers. They were soon completely wiped out by He Qingzhi and his men.

When Ye Bufan threw the big beard to He Qingzhi and the others, everyone was overjoyed.

This time, not only did we successfully rescue the hostage Yun Qiansxue, but we also captured the opponent's African head of operations. This is absolutely unprecedented success.

After finishing their task, Ye Bufan and the others didn't stay long. They immediately returned to the base and then boarded a plane heading back to China.

As for Yamamoto Kazuo inside the Kunlong Formation, although Ye Bufan had promised to let him out, he didn't specify a time.

When leaving, he had already collected all the banners. Relying on the remaining energy, the formation could at most support for three days.

Three days later, the Kunlong Formation disappeared automatically, and Yamamoto Kusachi naturally came out. He didn't break his word. In a villa in M country, Carlos, who was full of confidence, was now furious.

He meticulously planned this operation, aiming to minimize casualties on his side. He refrained from deploying his department's operatives in Africa and instead hired a black sorcerer and Yamamoto Kusachi of the Great Dog Country at a high price.

Before him, with the abilities of a black wizard and Yamamoto Kusachi, they would surely be able to keep all the people sent by Xuan Yuan Pavilion in Africa.

The result was far beyond his expectations. The hostages were rescued, and the base in Africa was also taken down.

He lost every single one of his men, not a soul was spared, all dead or wounded. Even Commander Turam became a prisoner.

This dealt a heavy blow to the special departments, completely disrupting the higher-ups' plans for Africa and effectively losing control of the continent.

But his anger was futile, what had to happen still happened. The people of Xuanyuan Pavilion happily returned to China.

Ye Bufan and his group returned to the Xuankong Mountain training base in Jiangbei City. He entrusted all the matters in his hands to people like He Qingzhi and Murong Ping for handling.

After greeting Sima Wei, he hurried back to his room and went into seclusion.

Under the arrangement of Xuanyuan Pavilion, after returning to China, Yun Qiansuo was sent back to the imperial capital.

Before leaving, I had originally planned to say goodbye to Ye Bufan and thank him in person. Unfortunately, I didn't even get to see this young man's face.

This left a bitter taste in her heart. In the past, those men had all vied for her attention and showered her with affection, but Ye Bufan seemed to have no particular interest in her from beginning to end.

Ye Bufan didn't know any of this. After returning to his room, he set up several restrictions in succession and then took out spirit stones to begin cultivating.

Just in case, he directly took out all 98 low-grade spirit stones, sat cross-legged and placed them in front of his body.

As the chaotic true qi circulated, those spirit stones seemed to be greatly attracted, instantly transforming into wisps of spiritual energy that he absorbed into his body.

After the spiritual energy entered the body, it immediately transformed into pure true qi that flowed into the dantian. Then, it surged towards the bottleneck of the middle stage of the Earth Rank.

After an unknown amount of time, a faint cracking sound suddenly echoed in his mind, and he finally broke through.

Ye Bufan let out a sigh of relief, his heart filled with excitement.

With the support of spiritual energy, cultivation progress was swift and he quickly broke through to the middle stage of the Earth Rank.

He glanced down and saw that the 98 spirit stones that had once encircled his body were now reduced to only 28.

That means he used a total of 70 low-grade spirit stones for this breakthrough.

Ye Bufan let out a wry smile. It seemed he had underestimated the amount of spiritual energy needed to break through. Luckily, he had prepared thoroughly, or else this attempt would have been for nothing.

This trip to Africa was somewhat dangerous, but it was also quite rewarding. However, these spirit stones are still a bit lacking. The remaining ones aren't nearly enough for another breakthrough.

He put away the remaining spirit stones, opened the door and walked out.

After going out, I saw Sima Wei waiting at the door and couldn't help but ask, "Were you waiting for me"

"Who else are you going to wait for" Sima Wei looked at him, saying sincerely, "I heard that you were hunted by Yamamoto Sochichi in Africa this time. Are you alright"

She also just heard Si Tu Dian Mo tell her, feeling the danger within, she couldn't help but worry for her man.

"Isn't this fine" Ye Bufan said, "You waited for me so long, just for this"

"Of course not," Sima Wei said, "During your seclusion, Senior Situ has called you several times."

Ye Bufan said, "What do you want from me"

Sima Wei said, "You have made great achievements in Africa this time. Not only did you successfully rescue Yun Qianxue, but you also wiped out one of their underground bases. The Xuanyuan Pavilion hasn't been so happy for a long time."

"I bet Senior SiTu found you to give you a reward."

As the two were talking, Sima Wei's phone in her pocket rang again. She took it out and glanced at it, then handed it to Ye Bufan and said, "Senior Situ, he's calling you again."

Ye Bufan took the phone and pressed the answer button. A hearty laugh immediately came from the other end: "Little guy, you did a good job this time. It seems that my old man is indeed a discerning person."

Ye Bufan secretly cursed in his heart, this old man, shouldn't he praise me How come he's showing off himself

Sithu Changkong said again, "This time you have truly done a great service for our Xuanyuan Pavilion and saved face for this old man. Tell me, what reward do you desire"

Ye Bufan's harvest this time was quite bountiful. Not only did he obtain 98 spirit stones, but he also had a considerable amount of US dollars deposited into his account. He was just about to say that he didn't need any rewards...

Suddenly, an idea struck him and he said, "Grandfather, forget the rest. Do you have any energy stones Give me a hundred thousand or even a few hundred thousand!"is time, his feet were planted on the 100th level of the celestial ladder, and before him stood a gigantic palace. The gate was adorned with nine ferocious dragons carving and dancing around a lumino...
