"I suddenly remembered there are still some matters to attend to. The procurement in the Holy City will be entrusted to you!" the Lin family's grand-uncle reminded, "You must handle it properly, without any mistakes!"
Seeing this, everyone present was also filled with suspicion, not knowing why their grand-uncle was acting this way, which left them somewhat bewildered.
The Lin family's grand-uncle said no more, turning and heading towards the Lin family's residence, his heart filled with a sense of dread, as if recalling something.
"What's wrong with Grand-uncle? Why has he become like this?" a man asked, "Is Grand-uncle afraid of the people from the Assassin Dynasty? Otherwise, why would he be so flustered!"
"Do not speak such nonsense here and disrespect Grand-uncle!" an elder interjected, "No matter what decision Grand-uncle makes, we should just do our own jobs. As for other matters, do not dwell on them!"
In response to these words, everyone nodded slightly, their expressions growing somber. They understood this point clearly and dared not be negligent in the slightest.
Meanwhile, the Lin family's grand-uncle's expression also became serious. He looked around, his heart filled with anxiety, eager to return to the Lin family quickly.
The reason for his change was that he had thought of the consequences. Although there was no news of the assassin king Zhang Haotian yet, if the assassin dynasty's Haotian intended to kill him, he would be in trouble.
After all, he knew very well that the assassin dynasty's Haotian was no ordinary person, and his strength was above his own. Coupled with the peerless divine weapon in his hand, if he truly intended to deal with him, it would be difficult for him to cope.
However, just then, a figure appeared before the Lin family's grand-uncle, a cold sneer on his face. "Isn't this the Lin family's grand-uncle? Why are you leaving so quickly? Could it be that you've done something you regret, hence this haste!"
Seeing the figure before him, the Lin family's grand-uncle was startled, his face gradually turning grim. "It seems my guess was correct. You were indeed planning to assassinate me. No wonder I sensed a killing intent just now!"
"Assassinate me?"
Lu Fan shrugged slightly, "You think too highly of yourself. I never intended to assassinate you, but to kill you openly. Someone like you is hardly worth my assassination!"
Following these words, the Lin family's grand-uncle sneered, "You have quite the audacity, boy. Regardless, I am the Lin family's grand-uncle. If anything were to happen, the Lin family would not let you off easily!"
"You must have said that many times, but do you think I care about that?" Lu Fan smiled faintly. "I vaguely recall that the Eighteen Gates of Kyushu were destroyed by you and Dao Xuan. Dao Xuan is already dead, isn't it time for you to follow?"
"You should think carefully. You have thoroughly offended the Xuanguang Holy Land, and now you want to thoroughly offend my Lin family?" the Lin family's grand-uncle said coldly. "Young people should not act so impulsively. Thinking things through is the most important thing!"
Facing this speech, Lu Fan said nothing more, his expression growing even colder, as if, in their eyes, all of this was insignificant.
"I know you resent me for destroying the Eighteen Gates of Kyushu, but if you spare me today, I will never trouble you again!" the Lin family's grand-uncle spoke again. "After all, I know I was in the wrong first. As long as you don't become my enemy, I won't become yours either!"
"Isn't it too late to say this now?"
Lu Fan shrugged slightly. "Now you are just a fish on my chopping block. I can kill you or skin you as I please, and no one can stop me!"
The Lin family's grand-uncle's face turned ashen. "Are you being too arrogant, boy? Do you really not take me seriously!"
Lu Fan's expression remained indifferent. "Do you want to end yourself or have me do it? Choose one, so you can't say I didn't give you a chance!"
"As the Lin family's grand-uncle, how can I tolerate your insolence!"
The Lin family's grand-uncle's expression was cold, and his aura became stronger, clearly intending to fight Lu Fan. "Since you want to start a war with me, have the guts not to use the Divine Emperor Cauldron, lest it be a laughing matter when word gets out!"
"You really overestimate yourself. I didn't plan to use the Divine Emperor Cauldron to deal with you!"
Lu Fan narrowed his eyes. "Even without the Divine Emperor Cauldron's enhancement, I can still make you submit!"
After Lu Fan finished speaking, his figure transformed into a gust of wind, charging towards the Lin family's grand-uncle, exuding immense divine might.
Seeing this, the Lin family's grand-uncle's expression changed slightly, his demeanor growing colder. In that instant, a powerful aura surged forth, but instead of attacking Lu Fan, he turned and fled directly, showing no hesitation.
"Trying to escape!"
Lu Fan's expression turned cold, filled with a sharp killing intent. He hadn't expected the Lin family's grand-uncle to retreat without a fight; what a coward.
"If you spare my life, you can go wherever you please in the future. Why must you relentlessly pursue me!"
The Lin family's grand-uncle continued to flee, a sense of helplessness in his expression. The reason he acted this way was simply to survive. He knew very well that if he truly fought Lu Fan, he would be no match for him, especially since Lu Fan possessed a peerless divine weapon, and he could never defeat Lu Fan.
They understood this point very well, but things had reached this stage, leaving them with nothing to say.
Meanwhile, Lu Fan let out a hearty laugh. "You have quite the nerve. You harmed so many people from the Eighteen Gates of Kyushu, and you still want to live!"
The Lin family's grand-uncle shook his head. "It wasn't me who killed the people of the Eighteen Gates of Kyushu. Most of it was Dao Xuan's doing; it has nothing to do with me!"
Lu Fan paid no heed. He understood this matter very well. If it weren't for the Lin family's grand-uncle, things wouldn't have escalated to this point.
The Lin family's grand-uncle could only continue to flee, a sense of despair in his heart. He never expected Lu Fan to be so relentless and completely ignore his explanations.
At the same time, Xu Fei had already arrived outside the Holy City but did not see the Lin family's grand-uncle or Lu Fan, feeling puzzled as to what was happening.
On the other side of the Holy City, Lu Fan and the Lin family's grand-uncle were locked in a fierce battle, appearing evenly matched. The Lin family's grand-uncle's aura was immense, and to survive, he continuously used forbidden techniques.
Unfortunately, in front of Lu Fan, all of this was insignificant. The Lin family's grand-uncle was destined to lose, and lose thoroughly.
Boom...
Another massive roar echoed. The Lin family's grand-uncle was sent flying violently, blood seeping from the corners of his mouth. However, at this point, it was beyond his control.
