"Your Majesty, this matter concerns the safety of the dynasty. We must be prepared!"
Several elders spoke, their eyes filled with fear. In all these years, such a major event had never occurred in the Taiyan Dynasty.
Now that the dynasty was in turmoil and the might of the divine weapon was terrifying, if this continued, it would cause endless repercussions.
Upon thinking of this, everyone's expressions became even more solemn, daring not to be the slightest bit negligent.
The Taiyan Emperor looked troubled. How could he not know the danger of this matter? However, the might of the divine weapon was not something he could stop.
The various experts from the Eastern Region had infiltrated the Taiyan Dynasty, and it was not within the dynasty's power to stop them. Everyone present likely understood this point even better.
At the same time, saints continued to infiltrate the Taiyan Dynasty. Gazing at the peerless divine weapon, their eyes were filled with greed, but they dared not act rashly.
Lu Fan's body was quite weak, having had all his spiritual energy absorbed by this peerless divine weapon. He was now like a cripple. The awakening of the Divine Emperor Cauldron had inflicted great damage on Lu Fan.
At this moment, Lu Fan was completely unable to control the Divine Emperor Cauldron. The aura emanating from the awakening Divine Emperor Cauldron was exceptionally terrifying, filling people with shock.
Around the Divine Emperor Cauldron, there were already dozens of figures. These people had come to this place for the Divine Emperor Cauldron, but unfortunately, they dared not approach it easily. After all, the aura emanating from the Divine Emperor Cauldron in the hands of the person holding it was extremely terrifying. With their abilities, they might not be able to suppress the peerless divine weapon.
"So it's him!"
On a distant mountain peak, a young man stood with his hands behind his back, looking at the scene before him, slightly surprised.
"Does the young master perhaps know this person?" an elder with white hair asked.
"Back in the Taiyan Dynasty, we became sworn brothers!"
Tao Mao Cheng nodded, "I didn't expect him to possess a peerless divine weapon!"
"How can he be worthy of being sworn brothers with the young master!"
The elders beside him were shocked and even more surprised. The ancient aristocratic families of the Eastern Region were not people with whom just anyone could establish a relationship, especially the young master of the Tao family before them, who was a person of exceptional talent and destined to become a Great Emperor in the future. Beings like this were not something anyone could approach.
"I can sense an unusual aura from him!" Tao Mao Cheng said, "There must be a reason why he could become sworn brothers with me!"
The elders present nodded slightly but dared not say more. They knew very well that before the young master, they only needed to obey. The young master before them had a high degree of self-awareness, and they, these old fellows, only needed to be responsible for protecting the young master.
"For such a peerless divine weapon, even the ancient aristocratic families would likely fight for it with all their might."
An elder with white hair said, "Young master, should we make a move? This is a rare opportunity."
"Many people will covet such a peerless divine weapon. However, since he and I are sworn brothers, even if I obtain this divine weapon, I will return it to him!" Tao Mao Cheng stated directly, "For now, we should just wait and see!"
The elders present were slightly surprised, clearly not expecting Tao Mao Cheng to speak like this. If he obtained the divine weapon, he would return it to Lu Fan, which would mean all their efforts were in vain.
As they were talking, the divine weapon transformed into a stream of light and shot towards the sky, emitting waves of divine might. Lu Fan could no longer control it and could only let it fly away.
"Quick, chase!"
Many elders exclaimed, their eyes filled with ecstasy. If they could obtain such a peerless divine weapon, they would undoubtedly become top experts in the future. In the entire Eastern Region, even the ancient aristocratic families would have to retreat.
Seeing this, Tao Mao Cheng did not hesitate and directly pursued. This belonged to Lu Fan, and he would not allow it to fall into the hands of others, even if it was a peerless divine weapon. Su Dan Novel Network
The other elders, feeling helpless, could only follow. In their opinion, if such a peerless divine weapon were brought back to the family, it would cause quite a stir for the entire Tao clan. However, at this point, it was clearly somewhat helpless.
According to what Tao Mao Cheng had said earlier, even if they obtained the Divine Emperor Cauldron, they had to give it to Lu Fan. This made them somewhat unable to accept it, but they could only obey.
At this very moment, Shen Ye Hong held Lu Fan in her arms, her eyes filled with worry. Lu Fan's complexion was pale, and his condition was even more unstable. A slight mistake could be life-threatening.
"The Divine Emperor Cauldron flew away. Should we chase it?" Liu Li asked.
"This Divine Emperor Cauldron is no ordinary item, but with so many experts arriving at once, it's unlikely anyone can claim it for themselves!"
Bi Qing shook her head and said, "Moreover, Lu Fan is injured. Let's make plans after he recovers!"
The few people present nodded slightly, as they could only do so. After all, with the situation having reached this point, they did not know what to do. With their strength, trying to snatch back the Divine Emperor Cauldron seemed like a pipe dream.
"This is the Taiyan Dynasty. With the Gu family's saint already beheaded, they pose no threat to us. I will take Lu Fan back to the imperial city so he can recuperate properly!" Shen Ye Hong said seriously.
"That might not be a good idea!"
Liu Li frowned slightly, "If we enter the imperial city, the Gu family will definitely not let this matter rest. What will we do then!"
"The Gu family has lost a saint, so I don't dare to threaten the royal family." Shen Ye Hong shook her head, "Moreover, as long as I am here, there will be no problems, and I will not let the Gu family act recklessly!"
"Since the princess has said so, then we shall go to the imperial city!" Bi Qing nodded.
These were extraordinary times, and moreover, Lu Fan was severely injured. They didn't know what had happened. It was somewhat difficult for them to return to Tongtian Academy now.
Not long after, Shen Ye Hong secretly took Lu Fan back to the imperial palace. However, this matter was not known to anyone else in the imperial palace, as the events of today had caused a sensation throughout the Taiyan Dynasty, and she naturally did not want to attract further trouble.
At this very moment, the Divine Emperor Cauldron had left the Taiyan Dynasty and was speeding towards other parts of the Eastern Region, seemingly beyond control.
The experts chasing from behind did not dare to be the slightest bit negligent, fearing that an accident might occur if they were not careful.
Meanwhile, within the imperial city, the Gu family members were filled with righteous indignation. They had gathered many experts and were rushing towards the surroundings of the Taiyan Dynasty, trying to find Lu Fan's whereabouts.
Now that a saint of their Gu family had fallen, it was a disaster of extinction for the Gu family. They learned that Lu Fan was already severely injured, and this was the best time to attack. Therefore, they had mobilized their entire forces, wanting to find Lu Fan and tear him to shreds, only then could the Gu family members be appeased.
