"That's only natural. If one wants to leave the Kyushu Eighteen Sects, one must have some skills!"
The old man said earnestly, "However, this map is in my hands. If you want to get out, you'll still have to rely on me!"
"Senior, you speak the truth!"
Lu Fan cupped his fists and said, "I will never forget Senior's great kindness, nor will I ever fail Senior!"
The old man was quite pleased with these words and nodded slightly. "Since that's the case, I have nothing more to say. You seem like a polite young man, so I'll take you with me!"
Lu Fan's face lit up with joy. As long as he could leave the Kyushu Eighteen Sects, he would be able to recover his spiritual energy, and at that time, he would have nothing to fear.
However, they hadn't gone far when Old Man Han suddenly hid, pulling Lu Fan along. "Quick, hide yourself! The spirit mine is ahead. If you're discovered, you'll be captured and made a slave!"
Lu Fan quickly nodded, feeling a sense of dread. He didn't know much about the Kyushu Eighteen Sects, but he was certain of one thing: if they were caught, neither of them would have a good end.
Sister Zhao, along with a group of servants, searched everywhere for Lu Fan but did not find him. Her expression turned grim. She had never expected Lu Fan to be so audacious as to leave the cave dwelling alone.
If anyone else from the Kyushu Eighteen Sects were to see him, nine heads wouldn't be enough to lose.
"Help! Someone is trying to escape the Kyushu Eighteen Sects!"
At that very moment, Old Man Han's voice rang out, sounding rather playful.
Lu Fan was even more stunned. They were hiding behind a rock, but he never imagined that Old Man Han would shout so loudly and so brazenly.
"Are you crazy, old man? If you attract them, do you think you'll still be alive?" Lu Fan cursed.
"Everyone, come quickly! Someone is trying to escape the Kyushu Eighteen Sects!" Old Man Han's voice continued to echo, without the slightest hint of discord.
Lu Fan was also furious but couldn't say anything more. He turned to flee, having thought the old man could help him leave the Kyushu Eighteen Sects, but now it seemed he had encountered a lunatic.
"So someone really is trying to escape!"
Tu Wenhai sneered instantly, leading everyone to capture Lu Fan. Lu Fan currently had no spiritual energy and was just an ordinary person. How could he outrun the people of the Kyushu Eighteen Sects?
"You have quite the nerve, trying to leave the Kyushu Eighteen Sects!" Tu Wenhai said coldly. "Do you know the consequences of escaping?"
"It's simply laughable. I was never a member of the Kyushu Eighteen Sects, so why can't I escape?"
Lu Fan said coldly, "You captured me and brought me here, which was inherently unfair!"
"You're too naive, young man. There is no fairness or unfairness in the Kyushu Eighteen Sects!"
Tu Wenhai said coldly, "Since you have broken the rules, you must die!"
"If you have the ability, bring it on!"
Lu Fan said coldly, "If I so much as frown, then I'll consider myself defeated!"
"Good lad, you certainly have backbone. Within the Kyushu Eighteen Sects, I have never seen anyone with such backbone!"
With a cold gaze, Tu Wenhai sneered, "I'd like to see how long you can remain so defiant."
"What, you plan to deal with me alone?"
Lu Fan sneered, "Wasn't that old man also an escapee?"
"Don't be ridiculous. He is the Sect Master Han of the Kyushu Eighteen Sects. How could he be an escapee?"
Tu Wenhai sneered, "You must be out of your mind, kid."
Lu Fan froze, his face twitching. Looking at the old man before him, he felt nothing but disgust. He never imagined that this old man had tricked him.
"Little one, this world is vast and treacherous. You must be careful!"
With a faint smile, Old Man Han narrowed his eyes. "After all, a moment's carelessness can lead to capsizing in the gutter!"
"You old man are truly cunning. I have fallen into your trap!"
Lu Fan said coldly, his words filled with dissatisfaction, but it was of no use. He had been schemed against, and there was no point in saying more.
"Why are you here? I've been looking for you for a long time," Sister Zhao said, approaching with many slaves.
"Sister Zhao, he tried to leave the Kyushu Eighteen Sects. According to the rules of the Kyushu Eighteen Sects, this kid is bound to die!" Tu Wenhai stated directly. "Sister Zhao, you won't be reluctant to see him punished, will you?"
"I am indeed reluctant!" Sister Zhao nodded. "Can you give me some face and let him go? I will discipline him well in the future!" Su Dan Novel Network
"Sister Zhao, have you forgotten that this matter is not trivial!"
Tu Wenhai stated directly, "If we really let him go, it would be a violation of the rules of the Kyushu Eighteen Sects, so he must die today!"
With these words, Sister Zhao's expression instantly turned grim. "Can you not even give me face? Or does it mean I am worth nothing in your eyes?"
"Sister Zhao, please don't make things difficult for me. If you feel something is amiss, you can go to headquarters and ask the elders!" Tu Wenhai said directly.
"I don't want to ask. I just want to ask you one thing: I want to protect this person. Are you willing?" Sister Zhao stated directly.
"I will never violate the rules of the Kyushu Eighteen Sects!"
Tu Wenhai stated directly, "I also hope Sister Zhao will not act recklessly, or you may not be able to account for it later!"
"Are you threatening me?"
Sister Zhao's aura surged. Lu Fan was someone she valued, and she had already taken him in. Therefore, Lu Fan's life and death must be decided by her, and she would not allow anyone else to interfere.
"Sister Zhao, I dare not threaten you, but you should also understand that this matter cannot be accommodated."
Tu Wenhai stated directly, his gaze becoming sharper. He naturally saw through all of this.
"Little Zhao, you shouldn't have pleaded!" Old Man Han interjected. "According to the rules of the Kyushu Eighteen Sects, this kid is very likely to meet a tragic end!"
With these words, Sister Zhao's face turned ashen. "You old man, you're not even saying a good word for me, just causing trouble here!"
"Fine, fine. I think this kid is quite amusing. Why don't I let him follow me, so he doesn't die!" Old Man Han said, sighing.
"Sect Master Han, this might not be appropriate, right? He's just a slave, what qualifications does he have to follow you?" Tu Wenhai said. "It seems a bit unsuitable!"
"There's nothing unsuitable about it. If I think it's suitable, then it's suitable. Why are you talking so much, kid!" Old Man Han said. "Are you looking down on me? Believe it or not, I'll have Old Man Tu teach you a good lesson!"
"I dare not, I dare not!" Tu Wenhai quickly cupped his fists, his face showing embarrassment. Especially with these words, he dared not act rashly.
Old Man Han was not someone he could offend, and how could he dare to be presumptuous?
