Outside the dilapidated temple, on the main road.

Yuwen Huaji and his son, along with Yuwen Wudi and the members of the Hai Sha Gang, rode in on horseback.

"Dad, I think I saw two thugs run into the dilapidated temple."

Yuwen Chengdu quickened his pace and said, "They should be the two who had contact with Fu Junzhuo. I'll go and capture them."

Clapping...

After a series of rapid hoofbeats, Yuwen Chengdu arrived outside the dilapidated temple, jumped off his horse, and shouted loudly, "You little rascals, come out! I see you!"

Kou Zhong and Xu Ziling were so frightened that they quickly hid behind Lin Bufan.

"Big brother, please save us."

Lin Bufan pried Kou Zhong's hands away, "I told you not to go out, and now look what's happened, you've attracted the enemy."

The two dragons had cowered like worms, pleading, "We know we were wrong, please save us."

Lin Bufan originally intended to wait until the Yuwen clan members passed by before going out, so that both sides could remain at peace.

But since they've come knocking, let them come. At worst, we'll have a fight.

As they were talking, Yuwen Chengdu kicked open the dilapidated temple door and walked in.

The first to be seen were Kou Zhong and Xu Ziling, who immediately burst into laughter: "As expected, it's you two little rascals. Hand over what Fu Junzhuo gave you."

Kou Zhong weakly retorted, "What are you talking about? We don't know anything about it."

“Fu Junzhuo separated from you and ran away. She must have given you the Longevity Formula. Yang Xuyan went to chase after Fu Junzhuo and there has been no news since. Therefore, the Longevity Formula must be on you.”

Yuwen Chengdu's gaze was fixed on them as he took a few steps closer, causing Kou Zhong and Xu Ziling to tremble in fear, as they knew no martial arts.

They quickly grabbed Lin Bufan's left and right arms, pushing Shi Qingxuan even further back.

"Big brother, help me, help me!"

"It's all up to you, big brother."

Big brother?

Yuwen Chengdu's attention finally shifted from Kou Zhong's face to Lin Bufan's face, and he found that this person looked very familiar, as if he had seen him somewhere before.

"Are you their eldest brother?"

Looking further back, I spotted a familiar face and instantly remembered seeing "Big Brother" somewhere before.

It's the fork in the road outside the Shilong Dojo.

“You are here too, Mr. Amorous Young Master and Master Shi.”

"Oh, right..."

Yuwen Chengdu suddenly remembered something, "The Heavenly Lord and those people from the Extinction of Emotions haven't followed us yet. Did you take them out?"

"So what if it is? What's it to you?" Lin Bufan replied.

Yuwen Chengdu's eyes flashed with a fierce light: "You killed my men and stole my treasures, and now you say it has nothing to do with me?"

“You’re just a nobody from the Yuwen Clan. Call your father over here to talk.”

Bang!

Lin Bufan swiftly struck, sending Yuwen Chengdu flying out of the dilapidated temple with a single palm strike.

Kou Zhong and Xu Ziling were stunned.

Yuwen Chengdu's martial arts skills were above the Grandmaster level, and he was a well-known figure in the martial arts world of the Sui Dynasty, yet he was actually hit by a palm strike from "Big Brother".

The eldest brother truly lives up to his name; he made the right choice in following him.

They're much better than that old woman, who just dumps the hot potato on us and runs away.

Kou Zhong's admiration for Lin Bufan was like a surging river, never-ending.

He felt increasingly contemptuous of Fu Junzhuo.

Hou Xibai waved his fan behind him and said, "Young Master Lin, if you attack Yuwen Chengdu, you will be making an enemy of the entire Yuwen Clan. Don't implicate Miss Qingxuan."

"You're afraid I'll drag you down with you, aren't you?"

Lin Bufan didn't look back at Hou Xibai and walked straight out of the dilapidated temple.

"I'm not afraid of being implicated." Shi Qingxuan also came out, standing firmly beside Lin Bufan.

The two stood at the doorway, bathed in light and shadow.

At first glance, the man was handsome and dashing, and the woman was graceful and charming. They were very well-matched, as if they were snuggling together.

Hou Xibai was so jealous that he was unrecognizable. He quickly put away his fan and went outside. "Miss Qingxuan, I'm doing this for your own good."

Outside the dilapidated temple, Yuwen Chengdu coughed up blood, scrambled to his feet, and cried out, "Father!"

"Useless trash, you've disgraced the Yuwen family. Get out of here."

Yuwen Huaji arrived on horseback with a large group of men.

His face was filled with hostility; he looked menacing and frightening.

Yuwen Chengdu dared not disobey his father, and like a stray dog, he walked to the back of the crowd, looking dejected.

Yuwen Wudi drew his broadsword. "Brother, why use a sledgehammer to crack a nut? Let me deal with that brat."

"You step back too," Yuwen Huaji shouted. "How much better is your martial arts than Chengdu's?"

"Yes, please, elder brother." Yuwen Wudi stepped aside.

Yuwen Huaji dismounted, strode over, and reached out to Lin Bufan, his tone leaving no room for doubt: "Give it to me."

Lin Bufan spoke frankly: "The Longevity Formula? General Yuwen, you are not worthy of it. Let it go."

Yuwen Huaji coldly retorted, "The Emperor decrees that we must seize the Longevity Secret. Are you going to defy the court and the Emperor?"

"I'm not a subject of the Sui Dynasty, how dare Yang Guang try to control me?"

"How dare you address the Emperor by his name!"

Yuwen Huaji secretly channeled his Ice Profound Energy and said in a gloomy tone, "Originally, out of consideration for Young Master Duoqing and Master Shi, this general would not hold your injury to Chengdu a matter. However, you not only refuse to hand over the Longevity Manual, but also shamelessly oppose the imperial court. Today, this general is determined to teach you a lesson."

After saying that, he immediately unleashed his Ice Profound Force.

Lin Bufan also raised his hand, and in a flash, his arm turned golden yellow as he activated the Vajra Indestructible Divine Skill.

This skill was acquired during a trip to the capital of the Ming Dynasty, when he angered Cheng Shifei and absorbed Cheng Shifei's power.

Combined with three hundred years of internal energy, his gesture was unstoppable.

With a loud crash, the two of them staggered back more than ten steps.

The Yuwen Clan's Ice Profound Force lived up to its reputation; Lin Bufan felt he had learned something new.
