Seeing no one respond, Lu Fan's brow furrowed slightly. He had come to Cangying Valley this time to check the mission scrolls, but it seemed he was being too abrupt.
"Since you are the leader of the Lion Peak branch, please come in for a talk!"
An aged voice echoed, shaking the valley. Many assassins also looked on with envy.
Lu Fan, so young, was already a leader of the Assassin Dynasty and had gained considerable fame in the Eastern Region. Compared to them, he was far superior.
Upon entering the valley, Lu Fan saw an old man leaning on a cane approach him. "I have long heard of Haotian's name, and meeting you today, it is indeed well-deserved!"
"Thank you for your praise, Valley Master!"
Lu Fan smiled awkwardly. "Actually, I came today with a request. I wonder if the leader is willing!"
"The Assassin Dynasty's branches are united. Although we are not the same leader, we are ultimately under the Assassin Dynasty!"
The Cangying branch leader stated directly, "Whatever it is, please speak freely!"
"I wish to see the mission scrolls of the Cangying branch!"
Lu Fan said frankly, "A friend of mine once died by the 'Gui Xi' technique. I suspect it was an assassin from the Assassin Dynasty. Therefore, my purpose for coming today is this!"
"So that's how it is!"
The Cangying branch leader's brow furrowed, and he seemed to be avoiding the matter.
"What, does the leader have any difficulties?"
Lu Fan asked in surprise, looking at the Cangying branch leader again.
"According to the rules of the Assassin Dynasty, only branch leaders can view the mission scrolls!"
The Cangying branch leader stated directly, "More importantly, this matter is not trivial. From your words just now, it seems you wish to find that assassin. If it was indeed that person, do you intend to capture them?"
"Indeed!"
Lu Fan did not conceal his intentions, his gaze serious.
"Assassins have no feelings for anyone; they undertake missions. The reason your friend died must be that he offended someone, and his name was placed on the assassin's kill list!"
The Cangying branch leader said frankly, "I also admire you greatly, which is why I'm telling you this. But if you insist on seeing the mission scrolls, then it is absolutely not allowed!"
"Is the leader afraid I will take action against someone from the Cangying branch?"
Lu Fan narrowed his eyes meaningfully. He hadn't expected the Cangying branch leader to be so stubborn.
"Regardless, I will not reveal it easily!"
The Cangying branch leader stated directly, "You should leave!"
"What if I must see the mission scrolls today?"
Lu Fan's tone instantly turned sharp. He had done all this to find the murderer and give an explanation to the Eighteen Sects of Kyushu. If he couldn't achieve this, wouldn't he be breaking his promise?
"What, are you perhaps intending to fight here?"
The Cangying branch leader's expression turned cold, carrying a hint of killing intent. Lu Fan's words had touched his bottom line.
"If I cannot find the murderer, I will never give up!"
Lu Fan stated directly, "I hope the leader can understand!"
"Jian Bei did not choose the wrong person when he passed the leadership position to you!"
The Cangying branch leader said softly, "You have more courage than him, daring to barge into my Cangying branch alone. Who gave you such courage!"
Sensing the overwhelming killing intent, the surrounding disciples were slightly startled, their bodies involuntarily retreating, their expressions somewhat flustered.
They had never seen their leader so enraged, which stirred something within them.
"Since the leader is unwilling, let us fight!"
Lu Fan said indifferently, "Some things may indeed be difficult to explain!"
As soon as the words fell, Lu Fan soared into the air, ready to summon the Divine Emperor Cauldron at any moment.
The Cangying Valley Master was a Saint King. With his current strength, he was naturally no match.
Seeing Lu Fan's posture, the Cangying branch leader's face instantly turned grim. If it were just Lu Fan, he would naturally not take him seriously.
However, after the battle at Lion Peak, it was rumored that Lu Fan controlled a peerless divine weapon, causing even the Sacred Lands to retreat. If he were to forcefully act today, it might not be a good outcome.
"I am not here to be an enemy of the Cangying branch leader, but this matter is of great importance, and I will never give up!" Lu Fan stated directly.
"Forget it, forget it!"
The Cangying branch leader sighed helplessly, "You boy possess a peerless divine weapon. If I were to act forcefully today, I might not be able to do anything to you!"
"So, the leader agrees?" Lu Fan's face lit up with joy.
The Cangying branch leader said no more and directly tossed the mission scroll to Lu Fan. If he had any confidence, he would not have compromised so easily.
Seeing this scene, the many disciples were also somewhat shocked. The dignified Cangying branch leader was actually intimidated by Lu Fan, which was truly inconceivable.
Lu Fan took the mission scroll and examined it carefully. Only then did he shake his head slightly, his expression deeply moved. Upon seeing Chen Xian'er's name, he was instantly consumed by rage.
"Wuji Divine Sect?"
"Since the client is the Wuji Divine Sect, then you should go find the Wuji Divine Sect!"
The Cangying branch leader stated directly, while also carefully examining the list of assassins who killed Chen Xian'er, discovering that this assassin had already died in another mission.
Seeing this, the Cangying branch leader felt relieved.
If this person were still alive, Lu Fan would surely kill him. As the Cangying branch leader, if an assassin were killed in Cangying Valley, how could he save face?
"Old man, thank you!"
Lu Fan cupped his fists, "I will definitely visit to express my gratitude for this kindness another day!"
After speaking, Lu Fan turned and left, filled with excitement. The true culprit had now been identified, and he would not let them off easily.
Meanwhile, the Cangying branch leader shook his head helplessly, saying nothing more.
There were some matters they could not interfere with, just as Cangying Valley had never intervened when the Xuanguang Sacred Land attacked Lion Peak.
At the same time, the Eastern Region was in chaos, causing quite a stir. The Assassin Dynasty's fierce retaliation had instilled fear in the Xuanguang Sacred Land.
In just one night, thousands of outstanding disciples from the Xuanguang Sacred Land were ambushed and killed outside. Although the Sacred Land dispatched dozens of Grand Elders, they could not stop the Assassin Dynasty's interception operations.
Although the Assassin Dynasty also suffered many losses of Saint-level assassins, they were like moths to a flame, and no one could resist them.
At this moment, everyone was in a panic, especially the other Sacred Lands, who feared provoking these desperate individuals.
There was an old saying: the arrogant fear the fierce, and the fierce fear those who are fearless. The people of the Assassin Dynasty were precisely like this, disregarding any cost.
In fact, such events had occurred in ancient times. The Sacred Land that had offended the Assassin Dynasty had long since ceased to exist.
Outside the Eighteen Sects of Kyushu, Lu Fan observed for a moment, then stepped inside. He had now found the murderer and naturally had to clarify the matter. Su Dan Novel Network
And within the Eighteen Sects of Kyushu, Xu Fei was recounting the events outside to everyone, his heart filled with excitement. The Assassin Dynasty's sharp counterattack was a topic of much discussion.
