The villain daughter did all kinds of things

"Senior sister, do you think Ye Bufan deserves to die?"

“...He really deserves to die.”

Emery was silent for a few seconds, then said what Ji Xinyu wanted to hear, and after hesitating for a moment, she asked again:

"Since Miss Wan'er is already with Ye Bufan, we can't rule out the possibility that she was with him when he left the country..."

"Just kill them all together."

Ji Xinyu's tone was quite cold:

"A piece of trash who would fall for a man is no longer worth my lingering affection... The Wan'er I loved died that very night."

"……All right."

Emerald took another deep breath:

"Then so be it, Junior Sister... continue with the information about Ye Bufan."

"Ah."

Ji Xinyu clearly didn't want to talk about the woman named Wan'er anymore, and continued to tell Amelie everything about Ye Bufan's cultivation level, Ye Bufan's special moves, and the weapons and magical artifacts he used.

After explaining all this, Ji Xinyu took out a map of the Eastern Continent and pointed to a place in the wilderness, about 700 kilometers from the border of the Tianyun Kingdom:

"This is a secret stronghold of the Netherworld Sect for cultivating spiritual materials. There is currently a very high-grade Purple Immortal Grass there. I will find a way to make Ye Bufan need a high-grade Purple Immortal Grass, and then let him know about this Purple Immortal Grass through other means."

"I'll set up an ambush here beforehand, and kill Ye Bufan when he goes to collect the Purple Immortal Grass, then extract his soul, right?"

Amelie laughed and took over the conversation.

"Ah."

Ji Xinyu agreed, and the plan was thus finalized.

The two split up.

Ji Xinyu returned to the East Pavilion of the Tianyun Empire and began to devise a way to secretly guide Ye Bufan to find the top-grade Purple Immortal Grass.

Amelie arrived at the valley where the Purple Fairy Grass was located and had the local Netherworld Cultists move away most of the spiritual materials and planting facilities, turning the place into a natural valley and setting up multiple magic arrays as traps.

Four days later, while continuing to study how to combine the "Netherworld Soul Technique" with her own magic in the valley, Amelie suddenly became serious and immediately put on an invisibility cloak, completely concealing her magical aura.

Half a minute later, a sword light like a shooting star flew from the sky and hovered above the valley.

It was a broad, imposing flying sword, wielded by a man with striking features and a handsome, imposing figure—his target, Ye Bufan. He also held a woman in his arms, equally beautiful with fair skin and a graceful figure; she was Ye Bufan's fiancée, Lin Wan'er, and also Ji Xinyu's former best friend.

"Brother Bufan, look! There really is a top-grade Purple Immortal Grass over there! The information was correct! Now my brother's illness can be cured!"

While Ye Bufan was still cautiously observing the valley, Lin Wan'er had already excitedly shouted out.

Just three days ago, Lin Wan'er's younger brother suddenly fell seriously ill and was in critical condition. Several famous doctors from the Dongge Mansion tried their best but could only barely keep him alive. To completely cure him, they needed a top-grade Purple Immortal Grass that was at least 300 years old.

Purple Immortal Grass is a mid-grade spiritual material, and it is not difficult to buy in the Tianyun Empire. Although Lin Wan'er's family background is not as good as Ji Xinyu's and Ye Bufan's, it is still a large family in the Dongge Mansion. Buying an ordinary Purple Immortal Grass is easy for her.

But a top-grade Purple Immortal Grass that's at least 300 years old won't do. The Immortal Sect's warehouse definitely has some, but neither Lin Wan'er nor Ye Bufan has that much influence in the Immortal Sect, so they can't get it quickly.

Because the immortal sects have a very complicated process for managing top-grade spiritual materials, by the time the process is completed and the top-grade Purple Immortal Grass is handed over to Lin Wan'er, Lin Wan'er's younger brother may have already been dead for several days.

Just when Lin Wan'er was extremely anxious, she overheard some information from a slave from a wild and desolate place.

The slave said that in a valley near his hometown, there grew a very powerful purple herb, guarded by a ferocious beast, which had been there for several hundred years.

Lin Wan'er, of course, did not believe it easily, but she did not miss this clue either. She found several other slaves from the same tribe as that slave, questioned them repeatedly, and finally obtained similar information from them.

Near the hometown of these slaves, there is likely a valley that actually exists, and in the valley there is a purple fairy herb guarded by a strange beast... It's hard to say whether it is the purple fairy herb that meets the requirements, but at least there is a glimmer of hope.

However, the wilderness is very dangerous. Although Lin Wan'er has been practicing martial arts with Ji Xinyu since childhood, her talent is only average. At present, she is just an ordinary cultivator. Leaving the border of the empire alone to collect immortal herbs is tantamount to suicide.

Naturally, Lin Wan'er sought help from her fiancé, Ye Bufan, who, of course, would not refuse the request of his fiancée and sweetheart, and brought Lin Wan'er with him.

Now that they had arrived at the valley mentioned in the intelligence, Ye Bufan's keen intuition, honed on the battlefield, had already sensed something was amiss... Although there was no evidence, he just felt that this place was a trap.

Ye Bufan wanted to observe more closely, but Lin Wan'er, who was determined to save her younger brother, couldn't help herself and urged Ye Bufan to hurry up and pick the Purple Fairy Grass.

Ye Bufan couldn't resist Lin Wan'er's pleading and had no choice but to agree.

With doubts in his heart, Ye Bufan was naturally very cautious.

He did not take Lin Wan'er with him into the valley, but left her outside. He also left his best flying sword with Lin Wan'er for protection before jumping into the valley alone to pick the Purple Immortal Grass.

"He's a good man... but unfortunately, he's just a good man."

Amélie, who was watching all this from the shadows, muttered to herself, showing no mercy and not changing her mind about killing Ye Bufan.

Whoosh!

When Ye Bufan was about a hundred steps away from the top-grade purple immortal herb, a whooshing sound suddenly came from his side, followed by a very thick and large black shadow.

"...Is this the mythical beast that guards the immortal herb?"

After realizing that the approaching shadow was actually a giant snake that was almost 2 meters thick, Ye Bufan breathed a slight sigh of relief.

If there really is a strange beast guarding this place, then the intelligence is correct.

Ye Bufan wasn't afraid of giant beasts; he was more afraid of people with ulterior motives.

brush!

Facing the onrushing giant snake, Ye Bufan drew another longsword. This sword was clearly of a lower grade than the one he had left with Lin Wan'er, but it was equally cold and sharp.

Brush brush brush brush!

In just a few breaths, the giant snake was clearly outmatched. Its mouth and tail could not hit the agile Ye Bufan, and its venom could not penetrate the sword light's defense. Instead, it took many sword blows and was covered in blood.

hiss!

The wounded giant snake roared angrily and launched an even more ferocious attack, seemingly determined to fight Ye Bufan to the death.

Ye Bufan remained calm and composed, not in a hurry to win. He maintained the advantage he had already established and continued to add new wounds to the giant snake.

Moreover, Ye Bufan was extremely cautious during the battle with the giant snake, constantly on guard against possible sneak attacks.

Ye Bufan's keen intuition once again made him sense something was wrong; the giant snake in front of him was likely not an ordinary beast.

When faced with danger and injury, most wild animals will choose to flee. It is too abnormal for a giant snake to fight desperately without regard for its own safety. Even if it is anger, it is not reasonable. It seems more like it is being controlled by someone.

"...Tsk, he's really alert. No wonder he's survived so many of the death missions his junior sister assigned him."

Emerald, who was secretly watching and looking for an opportunity, muttered something under her breath again.

That giant serpent was no ordinary beast; it was an ancient dragon-level monster that Amelie had found randomly in the wilderness just two days ago. After killing it, she transformed it into an undead creature and set it up in the trap.

Emerald originally planned to use the giant snake to attract Ye Bufan's attention from the front while she secretly launched a sneak attack to try and take him down in one move... Now it seems that she can't be lazy anymore.

Then let's just kill them.

Snapped.

With a crisp snap of his fingers, the magic circle that had been set up in the valley beforehand was activated instantly. The dark purple light screen completely sealed off the entire valley, preventing Ye Bufan from calling for help.

"It really was a trap!"

Ye Bufan frowned, but remained calm. He observed the magical barrier covering the valley, searching for weaknesses, while simultaneously activating his backup plan.

Suddenly, the flying sword protecting Lin Wan'er outside the valley soared into the sky, carrying Lin Wan'er as it transformed into a streak of light and flew far away.

"...Letting his girlfriend go first while he stays behind to cover the retreat? What a good man! It was really the right thing for that Miss Wan'er to choose him over her junior sister."

Emerald, however, was not in a hurry at all. She simply chuckled as she looked at the streaks of light in the sky and then looked away.

Whoosh whoosh!

Completely bewildered, Lin Wan'er hadn't even realized what was happening when she saw several thin tubes trailing purple flames flying towards her at an extremely fast speed.

Alarm bells rang in Lin Wan'er's mind, her heart pounding as if it wanted to escape her body, but nothing could change anything.

If Ye Bufan were to fly on his sword himself, he would naturally not be afraid of aerial combat with the Dragonbone fighter jet, but Lin Wan'er's strength would be far inferior.

With just three Dragon Breath missiles, Lin Wan'er's protective sword light was shattered, and she and her flying sword fell helplessly from the sky, only to be grabbed by the back of her neck halfway down.

"Wanmei!"

Ye Bufan, who had remained calm and vigilant throughout, finally lost focus due to worry after realizing that Lin Wan'er had been shot down, revealing a weakness in his defenses.

It's now!

Of course, Amelie wouldn't let this rare opportunity slip by. She activated the power of her golden right eye, and two powerful necromancy-based attack spells, Death Finger and Withering Touch, were simultaneously applied to Ye Bufan. Meanwhile, the hidden Heavenly Wing Feathers around her used Lohid Copying Technique to double the damage.

"Despicable... Pfft!"

Ye Bufan reacted quickly, immediately holding his flying sword in front of him for protection, and at the same time activating a certain magic weapon.

But it was no use. For Amelie's dazzling golden right eye, these defensive measures were not as effective as a black cloth that could block the gaze. Ye Bufan was still hit by the magic. A large amount of his life force was instantly evaporated, making him extremely weak. He was like a vigorous general who had turned into a emaciated scholar who had become addicted to brothels.

"What an evil spell... Pfft."

Spitting out another mouthful of blood, Ye Bufan, while angrily denouncing the evil of necromancy, finally managed to activate his magical artifact.

The activated magic weapon was a large bell that completely encased Ye Bufan, and the bell emitted a faint golden light.

"...What tenacious vitality! This is a Withering Touch with 15 times the power plus a Death Finger with 20 times the power, yet it still couldn't kill him in one blow? It seems that Junior Sister's information was wrong, and she underestimated this man's strength."

Emery was slightly surprised.

Boom!Boom!Boom!

The bell rang again soon after, probably because Ye Bufan had activated its power again.

The sound of the bell transformed into visible golden ripples, echoing and spreading through the valley, sweeping away all evil with righteous energy.

All of Amelie's subsequent necromancy attacks were shattered by the golden ripples, and the undead serpent quickly collapsed amidst the golden ripples, howling in agony, and vanished into nothingness.

Even the hiding place where Emerald concealed her figure and aura was swept away by the golden ripples emitted by the great bell, rendering it useless for concealment.

"A foreigner?"

After seeing Emerald's appearance and attire, Ye Bufan was quite surprised.

Amelite did not disguise her appearance to hide her identity, because Ji Xinyu said that no matter how she hid, it would be useless unless her strength reached the level of the old lich and the red-clothed one. Otherwise, as long as Amelite killed Ye Bufan, the diviners of the Tianyun Empire would definitely be able to calculate it.

"This young lady..."

Ye Bufan remained hidden inside the clock and spoke loudly to Emerald:

"I wonder when I offended you, young lady, to warrant such a ruthless act? As the saying goes, it's better to resolve conflicts than to let them fester. If you have any grievances against me, why don't you speak up and we can have a proper discussion?"

...At a time like this, he still wants to talk big? Does this man really think he's some kind of protagonist in a novel? It's hilarious.

Emerald scoffed at Ye Bufan in her heart, but her face remained expressionless, like a delicate doll devoid of emotion, as she continued to attack the bell with necromancy.

Unfortunately, although the bell was not as powerful as Ji Xinyu's Wind and Thunder Drum, the golden ripples formed by the bell's sound still had a strong power to ward off evil and were very effective against necromancy, causing Amelie's many attempts to attack to all fail.

Ye Bufan seemed visibly relieved, and his voice became more confident:

"As you can see, my Demon-Subduing Bell has an extremely strong effect in dispelling evil, which is just right to counter the evil arts you cultivate... Although I was seriously injured by your sneak attack and am unable to fight back, as long as I hide inside the bell, you can't do anything to me."

“Although you sealed the valley with an array and had Wan’er captured, preventing me from calling home for help… my elders at home know my itinerary today. If I don’t contact them for a long time, they will definitely send people here to reinforce me. By then, even if you want to reconcile, it will be too late.”

"So, what grudge does the young lady hold against me? Why don't you tell me? And I'm also willing to pay a high price for your top-grade Purple Immortal Grass..."

Ye Bufan seemed very confident in his magical artifact, convinced that Emery, who used necromancy, couldn't do anything to him, and began to launch into a long, rambling monologue.

Emerald, on the other hand, continued her attack without uttering a word, but her expression was no longer as indifferent as before; instead, it revealed a hint of anxiety.

This also made Ye Bufan's verbal attacks even more confident.

Unfortunately, Ye Bufan was unaware that Ji Xinyu had already told Amelie about the detailed information regarding the Demon-Slaying Bell.

This is indeed a very powerful magic weapon, combining offense and defense, and it has a particularly strong restraining effect on various evil spells, making Ye Bufan invincible in his conquest of the demonic tide.

However, the Demon-Subduing Bell is not the most top-tier magic weapon, and it also has its flaws... namely, its defense against pure physical attacks is not very high.

It's not that the Demon-Subduing Bell itself is fragile and cannot withstand physical attacks, but rather that when the Demon-Subduing Bell is subjected to a powerful physical attack, especially a blunt force, even if the bell itself is unharmed, the person hiding inside the bell will still be injured.

Ye Bufan was indeed very cautious, but Amelie was still a cut above the rest.

Emerald deliberately used only necromancy and laid numerous traps to launch a sneak attack. Besides ensuring that Ye Bufan could not call for help in time, the more important thing was to give Ye Bufan the illusion that her strength was not as great as his.

The plan has now been very successful. Thanks to Emery's excellent acting skills, Ye Bufan has become convinced that Emery has no way to get the Demon-Slaying Bell and is gradually becoming anxious... This can be easily judged from Ye Bufan's incessant chatter.

So it's time for the real final blow.

A few months ago, if Emery had been asked to unleash a powerful and purely physical attack, she might have scratched her head and racked her brains, but not now.

Amelie had already acquired the corresponding powerful weapons.

The one who made the move was the undead Ayahime.
