“You are the Holy Son of my Xuanguang Holy Land, how can you easily leave the mountain!” the Holy Master of Xuanguang said directly.
“Precisely because I am the Holy Son of Xuanguang, this matter should be handled by me!”
Xuangguang Holy Son said directly, “After all, as the Holy Son, I must lead by example!”
“While that is true, I fear you are not his match!”
The Holy Master of Xuanguang shook his head, his expression becoming more solemn. He understood this matter clearly; any slight misstep would inevitably lead to endless trouble.
“As the Holy Son of Xuanguang, my strength is by no means low,” Xuanguang Holy Son said directly. “Why does the Holy Master not believe me?”
“Things are not as easy as they seem!”
The Holy Master of Xuanguang shook his head and said, “As the Holy Son of Xuanguang Holy Land, if anything were to happen to you, it would be a disgrace to Xuanguang Holy Land!”
“Since the Holy Master is not at ease with the Holy Son going alone, allow me to accompany the Holy Son myself!”
As they were conversing, a cold voice sounded. The white-haired elder stepped forward, appearing ethereal and dignified, with a movement that seemed to stir the air without wind.
“Grand Elder Daoxuan!”
The Holy Master of Xuanguang was slightly startled. He had not expected Grand Elder Daoxuan to personally emerge. It seemed someone had tipped him off, otherwise, why would Grand Elder Daoxuan appear?
“With the Grand Elder’s backing, this matter is bound to be foolproof!”
Xuangguang Holy Son smiled and said, “Actually, I also want to see who is more formidable, Haotian of the Assassin Dynasty, or the Holy Son of my Xuanguang Holy Land!”
“In that case, we shall trouble Grand Elder Daoxuan!”
With joy in his eyes, the Holy Master quickly cupped his fists. Even as the Holy Master, he dared not show any disrespect to the Grand Elder, for the Grand Elder was a Saint King realm expert, on the same level as himself.
After receiving the Holy Master’s consent, the Grand Elder did not hesitate. He took the Xuangguang Holy Son and set off towards Huacheng. Lu Tiannan also followed closely, bringing along many experts to exert pressure.
Lu Fan, with his audaciousness, dared to remain alone in Huacheng, completely disregarding Xuanguang Holy Land. Now that the Grand Elder had personally intervened, Lu Fan would surely learn the consequences.
Killing four elders of Xuanguang Holy Land was an extreme provocation, and they would not tolerate such an event.
In an instant, throughout the Eastern Region, many people began to converge towards Huacheng. With the Grand Elder of Xuanguang Holy Land taking action against Lu Fan, a Saint King realm expert, their move would undoubtedly stir up endless turmoil.
Meanwhile, Lu Fan was enjoying wine at Baihua Tower, appearing carefree and at ease, as if all of this was insignificant in his eyes.
If his guess was correct, Guiying and Mudan had already reached Lion Peak. Jian Bei would surely be informed of this matter. As Jian Bei’s direct disciple, Jian Bei would not stand idly by, and this might even cause a significant upheaval.
“You truly have the leisure. You’re still here at this critical juncture!” Baihe rolled her eyes. “I’ve seen people who aren’t afraid of death, but I’ve never seen someone as unafraid of death as you!”
“They may not be able to kill me!”
Lu Fan shrugged slightly, his gaze becoming more serious, as if everything he said was true.
Baihe did not pay him any mind. Lu Fan’s words were incomprehensible to her.
At the same time, Fairy Baihua also approached Lu Fan. “I have just received confirmed news that the Grand Elder of Xuanguang Holy Land has already set out. He is a Saint King realm expert. If they truly arrive in Huacheng, you might not have a chance to escape!”
“Thank you for your concern!”
Lu Fan nodded slightly. “But rest assured, I will be fine. Moreover, since I dared to stay, I naturally have my trump cards. What does it matter even if they are Saint King realm experts!”
Fairy Baihua became somewhat helpless. She knew that Lu Fan was stubborn and would not listen to them. She simply did not wish for Lu Fan to perish like this, which was difficult for her to bear.
Meanwhile, in various parts of the Eastern Region, many of the younger generation were heading towards Huacheng with anticipation in their eyes. Haotian of the Assassin Dynasty killing four elders of Xuanguang Holy Land had shaken the entire Eastern Region, and now it had attracted considerable attention.
Even among the eighteen sects of the Nine Provinces, many of the younger generation were coming to spectate, wanting to see what kind of expert could kill four elders of Xuanguang Holy Land. Among the younger generation, few could achieve this, and even Holy Sons of the Holy Lands were not this powerful.
In the sky above, Sister Zhao and Xu Fei were traveling at high speed towards Huacheng. They had learned that Xuanguang Holy Land and the Assassin Dynasty would have a confrontation in Huacheng. An assassin from the Assassin Dynasty had killed four elders of Xuanguang Holy Land, which had deeply moved them.
“I truly didn’t expect there to be such a powerful existence among the younger generation!” Xu Fei exclaimed. “If we encounter Haotian, will we still have a chance to survive?”
“The elders of Xuanguang Holy Land are all High-level Saints. He can easily kill even High-level Saints. In his eyes, we are no different from ants!”
Sister Zhao shook her head and said, “Therefore, when we go to Huacheng this time, we must not be too conspicuous. We must conceal our aura to avoid bringing trouble upon ourselves.”
At this moment, Huacheng was already overcrowded, with many people preparing to witness this grand battle. Haotian of the Assassin Dynasty daring to linger alone in Huacheng must have had a backup plan. It was likely that the two major factions would engage in a fierce struggle.
Within Lion Peak, after Mudan and Guiying explained the situation, Jian Bei’s expression instantly turned grim. “How audacious, simply audacious! They dare to lay a hand on my direct disciple. Are they tired of living!”
“Master, now is not the time to be saying this!”
Guiying quickly said, “Junior Brother Haotian is still trapped in Huacheng. If he cannot be rescued in time, he might die tragically. Then you will lose another beloved disciple!”
Jian Bei’s body trembled. He would never allow such a thing to happen. Those who could become his direct disciples were no ordinary individuals, and he would not tolerate the Holy Land attempting to kill them.
“Issue an order. Gather all assassins from Lion Peak and head to Huacheng!”
With ice in his eyes, Jian Bei radiated immense killing intent. If anyone dared to touch Lu Fan, he would not let it go. He would see this matter through to the end.
At this very moment, Guiying also instantly relayed the order, his heart filled with urgency. He was very worried about Lu Fan, facing the provocations of many experts from Xuanguang Holy Land alone in Huacheng, which was likely extremely dangerous.
In an instant, countless assassins within the entire Assassin Dynasty surged forth, all gathering in the square of Lion Peak. Each of them exuded a powerful killing aura, appearing both imposing and awe-inspiring.
