"Brother Xu, what do you mean by that? I don't quite understand," Zhao Tiannan asked, his brows furrowed as he looked at Xu Kuo. "According to you, you want to associate with people from the Killer Dynasty? If that's the case, how will you explain yourself to the Holy Land when you return?"
"You're being too harsh. I don't associate with people from the Killer Dynasty; I just don't think it's necessary to be so exclusionary!" Xu Kuo shook his head. "In the Eastern Region, everyone had different stances, which led to grievances. But now we are in the Central Continent, and the past should not be brought into it!" Su Dan Novel Network
Zhao Tiannan was furious. Perhaps in his heart, he believed that everyone from the Killer Dynasty deserved to be killed.
Lu Fan stood by, his gaze calm. He had never paid attention to people like Zhao Tiannan.
"It is a form of fate that we can all meet today!" Xu Kuo said frankly. "I'd like to host a banquet and invite everyone. I hope you can do me the honor!"
"Naturally!" The young master of the Tao family nodded, his gaze even more placid.
Seeing that Lu Fan remained silent, Xu Kuo spoke again. "Brother Haotian, I hope you can also attend. I have heard much about your past deeds in the Eastern Region. To be able to kill a Supreme Elder of a Holy Land, you are likely a generation's Chu Ao among the younger generation!"
"You flatter me!" Lu Fan smiled slightly. He suddenly felt that Xu Kuo was a decent person and worth befriending. As for Zhao Tiannan, he was not worthy of Lu Fan's attention.
When night fell, Xu Kuo hosted a banquet at the Drunken Immortal Tower, inviting Lu Fan and others. Hu Xian'er and Hu Yu were also present. Although Zhao Tiannan was displeased, he could not refuse outright, as Xu Kuo was, after all, the Holy Son of the Yaoguang Holy Land, with the same status as himself.
"As soon as I arrived in the Central Continent, I heard about Brother Haotian's deeds. It is truly inspiring!" Xu Kuo looked at Lu Fan. "Even the Huo family of Liuli City was almost wiped out. Brother Haotian is truly formidable and has earned everyone's respect!"
"Your news is quite well-informed!" Lu Fan shrugged. "However, if the Huo family hadn't gone too far, I wouldn't have acted so excessively."
"That is true!" Xu Kuo nodded slightly. "Brother Haotian has just arrived in the Central Continent. Under normal circumstances, he wouldn't cause trouble easily. It must have been the Huo family that went too far, which is why this happened."
"Isn't that ridiculous?" Zhao Tiannan said coldly. "I heard that he even killed the only son of the Huo family. What else is he capable of? Someone who kills without batting an eye is quite similar to the Killer Dynasty. It's not good to associate with him!"
Xu Kuo stood aside, feeling a bit awkward. He hadn't expected Zhao Tiannan to speak in such a manner, putting him in a difficult position, especially since he was the one who organized this dinner.
"It seems you are very unhappy!" The young master of the Tao family looked at Zhao Tiannan. "I advise you not to spout nonsense here. This is not the Eastern Region, and no one can protect you. If my brother is unhappy, he can just kill you!"
Hu Xian'er, sitting nearby, was slightly startled. She hadn't expected the young master of the Tao family to be so assertive, speaking without any reservation and exuding such a powerful aura.
At the same time, Zhao Tiannan's face turned ashen. He stood up abruptly and said, "What do you mean by that? Do you really think I can be bullied at will? Or do you think my Taiyan Holy Land is just a mere formality?"
"I didn't mean that, but some things need to be said to prevent you from being ignorant of the immensity of heaven and earth and losing your life in the Central Continent," the young master of the Tao family said coldly. "My brother is now the leader of the Killer Dynasty. Forget about you; even the foundational power of the Holy Land cannot do anything to my brother!"
"You have quite a big mouth, but it's all thanks to external forces!" Zhao Tiannan said coldly. "He's even had his peerless divine weapon confiscated. What right does he have to be so arrogant!"
"It seems you are unhappy, or perhaps you are unconvinced?" Lu Fan looked at Zhao Tiannan. "If that's the case, I can oblige you and have a spar!"
"Do I fear you?" Zhao Tiannan stood up abruptly, his gaze fixed on Lu Fan. "I am the Holy Son of the Taiyan Holy Land, not someone who can be bullied at will. Moreover, the Killer Dynasty is on the verge of collapse, yet you dare to speak such arrogant words!"
Lu Fan remained unfazed, a faint cold glint appearing in his eyes. He wanted to see what capabilities Zhao Tiannan possessed.
"No, no, no, this banquet was arranged by me tonight. Please give me some face, everyone!" Xu Kuo quickly intervened, his face etched with embarrassment.
"The Holy Son of the Xuanguang Holy Land died by my hand. I don't mind adding another one!" Lu Fan said with a faint smile, his expression calm. If it weren't for Xu Kuo's presence, he would have already made his move. Lu Fan wouldn't pay attention to people like this.
Zhao Tiannan was furious. He could not accept Lu Fan's words.
"If it weren't for Brother Xu's banquet, my brother would have already made a move!" the young master of the Tao family stated directly. "Although my brother doesn't talk much, he is also a loyal person. He didn't make things difficult for you here because you are a good person. But some people are not like that!"
"You don't need to beat around the bush and insult people. If you have the ability, just make a move!" Zhao Tiannan said coldly. "Just outside Liuli City, I'll be waiting for him!"
After saying that, Zhao Tiannan turned and left, filled with anger. He was, after all, a Holy Son of a Holy Land, and he wouldn't be held captive by others. He was extremely displeased.
After Zhao Tiannan left, many people in the Drunken Immortal Tower looked on, filled with anticipation. It wouldn't be a bad thing to witness a spectacular battle.
"What should we do now!" Xu Kuo stood there, feeling helpless. He had intended to ease the awkwardness but didn't know how to proceed.
"It seems this battle is unavoidable today!" Lu Fan said with a wry smile. "I've been trying my best to suppress myself, but since Zhao Tiannan insists on provoking me, he can't blame me."
"Thank you, Brother Haotian!" Xu Kuo cupped his fists. "However, the Killer Dynasty has already offended so many Holy Lands. If we offend the Taiyan Holy Land again, it might be extremely unwise."
"It's fine!" Lu Fan waved his hand and then got up to walk towards the outside of the Drunken Immortal Tower, his gaze calm, as if everything was under control.
The young master of the Tao family did not try to stop him. Instead, he prepared to watch the show. This was not the Eastern Region; even a Holy Son could only sit alone. If that were the case, Lu Fan would not lose to anyone, and he had that confidence.
