"The young generation of the Eighteen Sects of Jiuzhou?"
Lu Fan was a little confused but did not dare to delay, so he went directly outside the Tao family.
Xu Yifei was waiting silently outside the desolate Tao family. The moment he saw Lu Fan, his anger surged: "Why? Why did you do this? Even if you didn't like Chen Xian'er, you shouldn't have killed him!"
"I didn't do this!"
Lu Fan shook his head and said, "Moreover, I have no reason to. You know my character, how could I kill Chen Xian'er!"
"If it wasn't you, then who else could it be?"
Xu Fei said coldly, "When you left the Eighteen Sects of Jiuzhou that day, did you see him?"
"Indeed, I did!"
Lu Fan nodded and said, "He bid me farewell and then left. I have no idea what happened!"
"You're still quibbling here. I really misjudged you, treating you as my best friend, and even letting you go. I didn't expect you to be this kind of person!"
Xu Fei sneered, filled with dissatisfaction. At the same time, he drew his long sword. He had come to the desolate Tao family today and would not give up easily. Lu Fan's actions must be paid for.
"This is the desolate Tao family. Do you want to fight here?"
Young Master Tao said coldly, "I advise you to weigh your options carefully and not act recklessly here, otherwise, our desolate Tao family will not stand idly by."
"What happened today is between him and me, and it has nothing to do with the desolate Tao family!" Xu Fei said coldly.
Young Master Tao wanted to say something more, but Lu Fan stopped him: "This is my private matter. Brother Tao, you don't need to interfere. I'll handle it!"
"Since that's the case, then I won't interfere. However, if anyone dares to trouble you, I will be the first to object!"
Young Master Tao said coldly, his eyes filled with indifference. This was the desolate Tao family, and no one could run amok here.
Xu Fei said no more, drew his sword, and charged towards Lu Fan, looking fierce and showing no intention of holding back.
Seeing this scene, Lu Fan shouted, "Chen Xian'er was really not killed by me. I can go back with you and investigate this matter thoroughly!"
"No need. Today, I will use your life to comfort Xian'er's spirit in heaven!"
As soon as he finished speaking, Xu Fei swung his sword at Lu Fan. Lu Fan did not dodge, but was directly stabbed. Blood oozed from his chest.
"I said Chen Xian'er was not killed by me. Even if you kill me today, I have nothing to say. If it weren't for you, I wouldn't have been able to leave the Eighteen Sects of Jiuzhou!"
Lu Fan said directly, "But the real culprit behind it will be able to escape justice!"
"Brother Lu!"
Seeing that the situation was not right, Young Master Tao repelled Xu Fei with a palm, then held Lu Fan in his arms. Lu Fan's internal bleeding continued to flow, and he was in a precarious state. Xu Yifei had not held back when he attacked, and had stabbed him in the heart. If there was any slight mistake, he might have died.
Xu Fei looked at the person in front of him and was slightly moved. He had clearly not expected Lu Fan to not dodge.
"Why are you so foolish, letting him hurt you like this? If you didn't do it, you don't need to be like this!" Young Master Tao said directly, "As long as our desolate Tao family is here, no one can bully you!"
After speaking, Tao Maocheng looked at Xu Fei: "If you still believe it was him, I have nothing to say. I will let your Eighteen Sects of Jiuzhou personally come to our Tao family to demand the person!"
Xu Fei stood frozen, remaining silent for a long time. He knew Lu Fan's character best. If he had really done it, he would have admitted it directly, and would not have refuted it.
Young Master Tao brought Lu Fan back to the Tao family and went into a secret chamber of the desolate Tao family. Here, there was the best healing sacred liquid, which was very effective for Lu Fan's injuries.
"You shouldn't have saved me."
Lu Fan said, "Although Chen Xian'er's death was not directly caused by me, it is definitely related to me!"
"Don't take all the blame onto yourself. This matter has nothing to do with you!"
Young Master Tao said directly, "You just need to rest assured. As for other matters, our Tao family will handle them."
"But this way, there will inevitably be a great battle!" Lu Fan shook his head and said, "This is not what I want to see. The people of the Eighteen Sects of Jiuzhou treated me well, and I cannot bear to see them like this!"
"Don't worry, I will explain it to them!" Tao Maocheng waved his hand, "You just need to recuperate here."
After speaking, he left the secret chamber. It was expected that the people of the Eighteen Sects of Jiuzhou would arrive at the desolate Tao family soon. However, the territory of the desolate Tao family was not a place where anyone could come and go as they pleased.
Not long after, in the sky above the Eastern Domain, a dense black mass appeared. Everyone watched with shock, clearly not expecting to see so many powerful figures in the sky above the Eastern Domain.
"These are all people from the Eighteen Sects of Jiuzhou. No wonder the Eighteen Sects of Jiuzhou are famous throughout the Eastern Domain, to have so many masters!"
"Who says not! With such a grand mobilization by the Eighteen Sects of Jiuzhou, even the desolate aristocratic families would have to fear them!"
"That may not be true. Desolate aristocratic families have peerless divine weapons. Even if the Eighteen Sects of Jiuzhou have more masters, it's just wishful thinking. If it really comes to a fight, the desolate aristocratic families are still superior!"
Amidst the chatter, people in the Eastern Domain also spoke, their eyes becoming sharp. With the great power of the Eighteen Sects of Jiuzhou today, if they really clashed with the Tao family, it would inevitably cause endless turmoil.
At the same time, within the Tao family's territory, the members of the Tao family also frowned. Although they were a desolate aristocratic family, they had never seen such a large formation. It was likely that all the masters of the Eighteen Sects of Jiuzhou had been dispatched.
"Hand over the Ancient Divine Body!"
A hoarse voice echoed in the void. The ancestor of the Shen family stood in the air, staring directly at the desolate Tao family, exuding an immense aura.
The other elders of the Eighteen Sects of Jiuzhou also looked on, their eyes filled with great dissatisfaction. Chen Xian'er's death was also a great blow to them.
"Senior, is there some misunderstanding?"
Young Master Tao smiled faintly, then cupped his fists and said, "I know a little about what happened in the Eighteen Sects of Jiuzhou, but it was definitely not Lu Sheng's doing. I'm afraid the real killer is someone else!"
"Besides him, who else could it be!"
The ancestor of the Shen family said coldly, "Not just anyone can kill people from the Eighteen Sects of Jiuzhou. Make that brat come out and die!"
"I just said that Lu brother did not kill him!"
Young Master Tao said coldly, "Is it not a bit inappropriate for the Eighteen Sects of Jiuzhou to bring so many people here?"
"It seems that Young Master Tao does not intend to hand him over?" The ancestor of the Shen family narrowed his eyes, filled with killing intent.
