"Did my father send you?"
The young master of the Tao family frowned. This confinement technique was only known to the family head and was specifically used against members of the Tao family. He never expected that this Supreme Elder before him would know this secret method.
"If the family head hadn't sent us, why would we be here!"
The white-haired elder said directly, "This matter is of utmost importance. Once the Holy Lands use their foundational power, it will be irreversible. That's why the family head sent me to bring the young master back, hoping the young master can understand the family head's good intentions!"
"Brother Tao, things have come to this. You should go back!"
Lu Fan cupped his fists and said, "I will remember the friendship you conveyed today for my entire life. If I can survive, no matter what difficulties the Tao family faces in the future, I will do my utmost!"
"Brother Lu, please don't say such things, it makes me extremely ashamed!" The young master of the Tao family said with a wry smile, "I should have fought against the various Holy Lands with you, but instead I was restrained by my family!"
"This is not your destiny, nor should it be something you bear!" Lu Fan shook his head.
At the same time, the white-haired elder also cupped his fists towards Lu Fan, "My family head has said that the situation cannot be reversed. I hope Master Lu does not blame us, after all, the young master carries the hope of the family and must not have any accidents here!"
"Please thank the Tao family head for me. This matter is indeed the business of my Assassin Dynasty!" Lu Fan cupped his fists slightly, his expression becoming even more solemn.
The Supreme Elder of the Tao family said no more, turned, and took the young master of the Tao family away, not daring to delay any longer. The two great Holy Lands were already preparing to use their foundational power. Once their foundational power was unleashed, the Assassin Dynasty would surely be destroyed, and the young master of the Tao family would only be another corpse here.
Watching the young master of the Tao family and the others leave, Lu Fan let out a long sigh. He did not want the young master of the Tao family to be here, as this matter had nothing to do with the Tao family.
"Things have come to this, it seems we can only fight to the death, burn our bridges!"
Jian Beitian said directly, "Everyone rest well. The great battle is likely imminent!"
Lu Fan nodded slightly, not paying much attention to this matter. Things had reached this point, and it was probably fate.
"Who is he?"
Just then, Jian Beitian suddenly looked at the old madman, his heart filled with doubt. He didn't know why the appearance of the old madman made him feel a sense of apprehension.
"Senior, you don't recognize this person?"
Lu Fan was a little curious. "This shouldn't be the case! Those who appear in the Abyss should be from the Assassin Dynasty, right? Could it be that Brother Madman is not from the Assassin Dynasty?"
"I have never seen him in the Assassin Dynasty, and looking at his cultivation, it seems to be no less than mine. How can he be so powerful!"
Jian Beitian was shocked. He hadn't paid much attention at first, but now he was filled with admiration, which caught him off guard.
"If he's not from the Assassin Dynasty, how could he be in the Abyss?" Lu Fan asked again, with a look of confusion.
"He might be a master from another sect who broke into the Abyss and got trapped inside!"
Jian Beitian shook his head and said, "It's a pity he's already out of his mind. Otherwise, he might be able to help the Assassin Dynasty. Judging by the aura he emits, he is likely a Half-step Great Sage!"
"Half-step Great Sage?"
Lu Fan was a little shocked. He hadn't expected that the person he casually rescued in the Abyss was a Half-step Great Sage level expert. If that were the case, it would be a huge gain.
"Don't get happy too soon. Even if he is a Half-step Great Sage, with his current mental state, he can't possibly exert his full strength. And he's now erratic and completely useless!" Jian Beitian shook his head. Sudan Novel Network
"The Holy Lands have already used their foundational power. I never had any expectations of Brother Madman," Lu Fan said with a bitter smile, feeling helpless.
At this moment, many immortal cultivation sects in the Eastern Region were gathering the power of heaven and earth, repairing the mountain protection formations before their gates. They knew very well that a great battle was coming in the near future, and this battle would be earth-shattering.
The Holy Lands inviting their foundational power meant they were facing a crisis of survival, otherwise, they wouldn't be so resolute. At this point, this epic battle was likely imminent.
Within the Ancient Tao Family, the young master of the Tao family was bound and brought into the main hall of the Tao family, looking quite displeased. In the main hall of the Tao family, stood more than ten figures. These were all Saint King level experts, each figure extremely terrifying.
Under normal circumstances, the many Saint Kings of the Ancient Tao Family would not gather here. Today was quite special.
"Young Master, the two great Holy Lands are preparing to use their foundational power. It was a helpless move for us to bring the young master back!"
Many Saint Kings spoke, their gazes fixed on the young master of the Tao family. "You are the future hope of the entire Tao family, and no accidents can happen. Moreover, this ultimate battle will surely throw the Eastern Region into chaos. The Ancient Tao Family will also do its best to repair the formations to avoid the might of the great battle!"
"It's just a battle, why do all the Supreme Elders need to be so vigilant!" The young master of the Tao family frowned. "Since I have returned to the Tao family, I naturally will not clash with the Holy Lands!"
"Young Master, you may not know, but the Assassin Dynasty has Jian Beitian and two ultimate divine weapons. The Holy Lands are also using their foundational power. The two forces will clash instantly, which will surely affect the entire Eastern Region!"
A white-haired elder said directly, "At that time, it is likely that living beings will suffer. Many external forces have come to the Tao family, wanting to obtain the Tao family's protection and are desperately begging to join the Tao family!"
"Why bother with these fence-sitters!"
The young master of the Tao family said indifferently, "It's just a pity that I cannot fight alongside Brother Lu, which goes against my initial vow!"
Facing these words, the members of the Tao family fell silent. They knew that the young master of the Tao family valued loyalty, but now was a critical juncture, and they had no choice but to do so.
"Elders, activate the Tao family's formations. The many disciples of the Tao family are not allowed to leave the Tao family at will. Directly seal the mountain gate!" The head of the Tao family said, "This matter is of great importance, and it is no longer a small skirmish. If we are affected, it is very likely to trigger the family's foundational power. If that happens, it will surely be a great impact for all the ancient aristocratic families."
Once the foundational power is awakened, it cannot be stopped. If the foundational power of the Holy Lands is fully awakened, the Holy Lands' future reliance will disappear, which is the most terrifying thing.
"We will defend the Tao family with our lives!" All the Supreme Elders cupped their fists, their expressions becoming more indifferent.
With these words, the other people also nodded, not daring to be the slightest bit negligent.
With the great battle imminent, they naturally had to be of one heart to protect the family well and not be disturbed by other forces.
