"That's too exaggerated!"
Seeing the scene before him, Gui Ying was also a little shocked. He never expected the old madman's strength to be so formidable, catching him off guard and making him very puzzled.
"It's not exaggerated at all. If I hadn't sent a telepathic message to the old madman and asked him to show mercy, these people would all be dead by now!" Lu Fan shrugged slightly, his expression even more indifferent.
"Why did the helmsman show mercy?"
Gui Ying was a little surprised, his gaze turning towards Lu Fan, and he was even more puzzled.
"If we don't show mercy, won't we be endlessly pursued in the future!"
Lu Fan narrowed his eyes. "Within the Holy Land, there are even more powerful foundations. If they are mobilized, it will undoubtedly be a huge blow to us!"
"The old madman is so strong, and with him following us, aren't we invincible!"
Gui Ying spoke again, his expression more serious, as he truly believed this in his heart.
"Some things are not as simple as they seem!"
Lu Fan shook his head and said, "I know the old madman's strength better than anyone. He can indeed resist the people from the Holy Land, but he is not of sound mind, and who knows when he will have an episode!"
"So the helmsman had already considered everything!"
Gui Ying nodded slightly and said no more, as if everything Lu Fan said had a certain logic and didn't need to be refuted.
Meanwhile, within the Holy City, the onlookers were shocked. They never expected the outcome to be like this, which caught them off guard and was quite shocking.
Just then, Gui Ying also looked towards Lu Fan and asked, "Now that the trouble is solved, where are we going?"
"Back to the branch!"
Lu Fan narrowed his eyes. "We have obtained two peerless divine weapons now, so we don't need to be too wary of the Holy Land's treatment. However, we cannot be too ostentatious, otherwise, it will undoubtedly be a disaster for the branch!"
Gui Ying nodded slightly, naturally agreeing with Lu Fan's words.
"Brother, you go with Gui Ying to the branch. He will arrange things for you there!"
Lu Fan said to the old madman with a serious expression, not daring to show any negligence.
Gui Ying was a little surprised by this statement. "Helmsman, aren't you going back? Where are you going then?"
"The person who killed Grandpa Shen has not been completely eliminated yet, so I will naturally go after him!" Lu Fan narrowed his eyes.
Lu Fan would not allow such a thing to happen as long as the Lin family's grand-uncle was still alive. Since Dao Xuan was already dead, now it was only the Lin family's grand-uncle. Even if he offended the Lin family, Lu Fan would not hesitate.
"I'll accompany the Pavilion Master. That way, we can look out for each other!" Gui Ying quickly said, feeling worried in his heart.
With these words, Lu Fan smiled faintly. "I control two peerless divine weapons. Even without the old madman just now, I could have handled it with ease, so you don't need to worry about me. Take him back to the branch and settle him properly!"
Gui Ying frowned, unsure of what to do. If he disobeyed Lu Fan's orders, it would be unreasonable, but he was worried about Lu Fan's safety if he acted alone.
Lu Fan ignored him and disappeared in a flash, not paying much attention.
Seeing that Lu Fan had already left, Gui Ying didn't say much more and took the old madman towards the branch.
Meanwhile, above the Holy City, everyone watched silently, feeling helpless. Clearly, they hadn't expected things to turn out this way, and it had caught them off guard.
"City Lord, who exactly was that old man? Why did he possess such a powerful aura? Even the peerless divine weapons couldn't suppress him!" a disciple asked, feeling very confused.
"Actually, I don't know either!"
The City Lord showed an embarrassed expression. Even he was full of questions about who that old madman was, to be so powerful.
Even if he were to personally make a move, he would likely not be qualified in front of the old madman, which showed how strong the old madman was.
Lin Wuya had established the entire Holy City with his own strength and was quite famous in the Eastern Region. If even he couldn't defeat someone, one could imagine how strong that person was.
Within the Holy City, many people were discussing the events of the day, naturally paying close attention. They had never imagined that they would witness such a scene with their own eyes.
It was just an ordinary old madman who had beaten the Grand Elders of the Holy Land to a pulp. If this news spread, what would become of the Holy Land's reputation?
At this very moment, in a forest, Qing Deng and Bai Yue stopped, panting heavily. They were accompanied by a group of experts from the Holy Land, looking quite disheveled.
They had exerted a lot of effort to escape just now, and now that they had reached this point, they naturally dared not act recklessly.
"Who was that old man just now!"
Elder Qing Deng spoke, "Why was his strength so immense that even I was no match for him? Even the peerless divine weapons couldn't fully shake him!"
"Where did this brat find such a powerful expert!"
Bai Yue said coldly, his eyes filled with extreme dissatisfaction. He was very unhappy that he had planned to deal with Lu Fan today, but he never expected things to turn out like this, catching him off guard.
"Could he be from the Assassin Dynasty? But why haven't I heard of such a powerful expert within the Assassin Dynasty!"
His expression was one of surprise. Qing Deng said directly, "When I saw him make a move, he did resemble someone from the Assassin Dynasty, but I cannot be sure!"
"Did you notice that the aura displayed by that old man just now was somewhat like a Great Sage?"
"Great Sage?"
Qing Deng was slightly stunned, and his heart filled with trepidation. If that were truly the case, it would be a devastating blow to them.
What kind of existence was a Great Sage? Perhaps even within the Holy Land, it would be difficult to produce one. Even if the Holy Land's entire foundation were mobilized, it would show how terrifying a Great Sage was.
"Impossible, this is absolutely impossible!" Bai Yue shook his head. "If that old man just now was truly a Great Sage, he would have killed us long ago. How could he have spared our lives!"
"That being said, the strength of that person is indeed terrifying!"
Qing Deng's expression was serious, and he did not dare to be careless in the slightest. He was very clear about this point.
"If that person is truly a Great Sage, it is definitely not good news for the Xuanguang Holy Land!"
Bai Yue said solemnly, his expression grave. "What should we do then!"
"Now that things have reached this point, we can only take it one step at a time!" Qing Deng revealed a bitter smile, though it was not what he wished for.
