"Patriarch Chen, this matter is likely not for you to decide alone!"
Young Master Tao stated directly, "I wish to see my brother. If he truly agreed willingly, I will offer my congratulations!"
"Young Master Tao, you should be aware that not just anyone can enter my Nine Provinces Eighteen Sects!"
Old Man Chen chuckled, "If you were to enter the Nine Provinces Eighteen Sects, I fear many other families would be displeased!"
"In other words, Patriarch Chen, you do not intend to clarify?"
Young Master Tao narrowed his eyes, "If that is the case, then I have reason to suspect you are deliberately making things difficult for my brother!"
"Young Master Tao, could you grant me some face? After the Chen family's wedding is complete, I will certainly arrange for him to meet you!" Old Man Chen cupped his fists.
"Since I am here today, I naturally came to rescue my brother!"
Young Master Tao said coldly, "If the Nine Provinces Eighteen Sects do not release him today, I fear it would be unacceptable!"
"Young Master Tao, are you truly intending to become enemies with the Nine Provinces Eighteen Sects!"
With a cold glint in his eyes, Old Man Chen asked coldly, a powerful aura emanating from him. As the sect leader of the Nine Provinces Eighteen Sects, his own strength was not weak. If it weren't for the Ancient Desolate Family, he wouldn't have wasted so many words here.
"I did not wish to make things difficult for the Nine Provinces Eighteen Sects, but my brother must be unharmed for me to be at ease!"
Young Master Tao said coldly, "Even if Patriarch Chen is unwilling, my Tao family will force our way in today!"
"It seems you already know that he is the Ancient Divine Body, otherwise, why would the Tao family deploy a peerless divine weapon for him!"
Patriarch Chen sneered, "Although the Heaven-Piercing Mirror is powerful, you alone cannot unleash its full potential, nor can it threaten the Nine Provinces Eighteen Sects!"
"It seems my brother is indeed being forced into marriage, and you merely wish to keep the Divine Body!"
Young Master Tao said coldly, his aura slowly surging. It seemed the only way to resolve this matter today was through force. Patriarch Chen's brows furrowed slightly upon seeing this, clearly not expecting the Young Master of the Tao family to be so direct. Once the two great powers engaged in battle, it would not be so simple, a fact he was well aware of. Su Dan Novel Network.
"Young Master, do we really have to fight?"
An elder beside him spoke, his heart filled with worry. The Nine Provinces Eighteen Sects held immense power, perhaps even comparable to the Ancient Desolate Families. If a conflict were to break out, it would not be good for the Tao family. The Eastern Region was filled with numerous sects. If the Ancient Desolate Tao family were to suffer any misfortune, they would surely be devoured. Having survived for so many years, how could he not understand these matters?
"My brother was abducted by the Nine Provinces Eighteen Sects. If they refuse to release him today, then there is only battle!"
Young Master Tao said coldly, his aura boundless, his gaze fixed on Old Man Chen. Seeing the tense atmosphere, Old Man Chen's brows furrowed slightly, and he then said with a smile, "Young Master Tao, how about we each take a step back? Only you can enter the Nine Provinces Eighteen Sects. What do you say to that?"
"Absolutely not!"
The elder of the Tao family said coldly, "Although the Nine Provinces Eighteen Sects have no enmity with the Tao family, how can our Young Master go to such a place alone!"
"Patriarch Chen, you should know the purpose of my bringing the Heaven-Piercing Mirror!"
Young Master Tao smiled, "If you refuse to yield today, then I can only resort to action!"
In an instant, Tao Mao Cheng unleashed the Heaven-Piercing Mirror. As he wielded it, the power of the Heaven-Piercing Mirror grew increasingly terrifying, its divine might felt for a thousand miles around.
"A peerless divine weapon, the Heaven-Piercing Mirror has appeared!"
A gasp of surprise echoed, and everyone looked up at the sky in disbelief. This was the treasured artifact of the Ancient Desolate Tao family, and today it hovered in the void.
"Could it be that the Divine Body has appeared, and the Tao family is using the Heaven-Piercing Mirror to intimidate the masses!"
The crowd murmured, their hearts filled with shock. They clearly had not expected the Tao family to be so forceful in their pursuit of the Divine Body.
At the same time, within the Nine Provinces Eighteen Sects, the expressions of the elders changed dramatically. The Heaven-Piercing Mirror was directly above them. Had the Tao family brought the Heaven-Piercing Mirror to destroy the Nine Provinces Eighteen Sects? Several elders stepped forward, their expressions grave.
At the wedding scene, Lu Fan and the others were also surprised, unsure of what had happened.
"The Young Master of the Tao family has come with a peerless divine weapon to demand someone. Today, our Nine Provinces Eighteen Sects are likely in danger!"
A man shouted, his heart filled with panic. The power of a peerless divine weapon was immense, and it had already greatly impacted him.
"Ancient Desolate Tao Family?"
Chen Xian'er's brows furrowed, and she looked at Lu Fan, "Don't be afraid. Grandpa and the others will handle it and will never let the people of the Ancient Desolate Tao family run rampant!"
"If I'm not mistaken, the person they are looking for should be me!"
Lu Fan said directly, "As long as I am released, everything will be fine!"
"It's you?"
Chen Xian'er was slightly startled, her heart filled with a touch of shock. She had never imagined that the Young Master Tao would make such a grand display for Lu Fan.
"You should already know that I am the Ancient Divine Body!"
Lu Fan said directly, "And the Young Master of the Ancient Desolate Tao family is my sworn brother. He will never give up, so the only solution now is to release me!"
"No!"
Chen Xian'er said coldly, "Dare to cause trouble on the territory of the Nine Provinces Eighteen Sects, even the Ancient Desolate Families are not allowed!"
In an instant, the Nine Provinces Eighteen Sects descended into chaos. Many experts stepped out, their hearts filled with righteous indignation. It had been many years since anyone dared to treat the Nine Provinces Eighteen Sects in such a manner.
Outside the Nine Provinces Eighteen Sects, Young Master Tao had already activated the Heaven-Piercing Mirror. Its aura permeated the entire Eastern Region, causing many forces to feel uneasy. The awakening of a peerless divine weapon held great deterrent power for these forces, as a peerless divine weapon was no ordinary item. Once activated, it could even shake the entire Eastern Region.
"The Ancient Desolate Tao family has quite the spirit, coming to my Nine Provinces Eighteen Sects, and even bringing a peerless divine weapon!"
Old Man Han's voice was icy. Standing beside him were a group of elders, all of whom were sect leaders of the Nine Provinces Eighteen Sects. The eighteen sect leaders of the Nine Provinces Eighteen Sects were all terrifying existences. Any one of them could shake the Eastern Region thrice over, demonstrating the might of the Nine Provinces Eighteen Sects. With half of the sect leaders present, their aura was naturally extraordinary.
"You have come at the right time. Hand over my brother, and the Ancient Desolate Tao family will naturally not act. But if you refuse to hand him over, do not blame me for being merciless!"
Young Master Tao's voice was icy, his gaze fixed on everyone present, his words leaving no room for compromise.
"The Young Master of the Tao family is truly imposing, coming to my Nine Provinces Eighteen Sects to cause trouble!"
Old Man Zhao said coldly, "Do you really think my Nine Provinces Eighteen Sects are easy to bully? If a war truly breaks out, your Ancient Desolate Tao family may not necessarily gain any advantage!"
"The Tao family does not wish for war, but if you insist, my Tao family will not tolerate it!" Young Master Tao declared solemnly, his expression growing colder.
