As the two peerless divine weapons were repelled, Dao Xuan frowned and directly asked, "Which sacred land do you hail from, fellow Daoist? Why do you not reveal yourself?"
"As everyone knows, peerless divine weapons cannot be used in combat within the Eastern Domain. As the Grand Elder of the Xuan Guang Sacred Land, you should be aware of this matter!"
A hoary voice echoed through the void, "If there is a next time, you will not be spared lightly!"
The voice was boundless and vast, drawing the attention of many. Naturally, no one expected someone to be so powerful as to disregard a Grand Elder of a sacred land.
Just as Dao Xuan was about to speak, the person's voice had already vanished, as if disappearing without a trace.
At the same time, Lu Fan looked towards Dao Xuan and said, "See? They've already stated that peerless divine weapons cannot be used in combat. Even if your Xuan Guang Sacred Land possesses peerless divine weapons, so what? Before my Assassin Dynasty, you are still powerless!"
"You brat, don't be too arrogant. Do you think having peerless divine weapons allows you to do as you please?"
The Grand Elder said coldly, "In the face of a sacred land, nothing else matters!"
"Rest assured, the Assassin Dynasty remembers today's grudge!"
Lu Fan said coldly, "Prepare yourselves, Xuan Guang Sacred Land, for our wrath!"
"Hmph, when has our Xuan Guang Sacred Land ever feared anyone!"
Dao Xuan snorted, "However, peerless divine weapons can sense their owners. You cannot be the master of a peerless divine weapon, nor can you control it indefinitely. One day, the Assassin Dynasty will also lose its peerless divine weapon, and that is when I will attack!"
"I hope it is as you say!" Lu Fan smiled faintly, "However, I sincerely advise that the people of Xuan Guang Sacred Land best not venture out. Otherwise, we will kill every one we see, and kill every pair we encounter!"
"What an arrogant tone! Does our Xuan Guang Sacred Land fear your Assassin Dynasty?" Dao Xuan said abruptly, his eyes filled with indifference.
Facing these words, Lu Fan did not reply. With the peerless divine weapon in his hand, it was almost impossible for Dao Xuan to deal with him. This was the basis of Lu Fan's confidence.
"Grand Elder, it seems impossible to annihilate the Assassin Dynasty today!"
Lu Tiannan quickly said, "Why don't we leave first and find another way later?"
Dao Xuan nodded slightly. He was also very clear that the situation had reached a point beyond his control. If they did not leave now, it would inevitably incite public anger, which he could not bear.
Seeing Dao Xuan and the others leave, Lu Fan breathed a sigh of relief. After all, controlling a peerless divine weapon consumed a great deal of spiritual energy, and any carelessness could lead to backlash. Although he had reached the Saint realm, it was still difficult to unleash the full potential of the peerless divine weapon.
Seeing Dao Xuan depart, the others from the Xuan Guang Sacred Land quickly followed. Those observing from a distance were also moved, naturally not expecting the Xuan Guang Sacred Land to withdraw.
The Xuan Guang Sacred Land had made a significant decision to attack the Assassin Dynasty this time. Their subsequent withdrawal was indeed perplexing.
After the Xuan Guang Sacred Land left, the barrier of Lion Peak was reactivated, and the members of the Assassin Dynasty were secured, at least their lives were no longer in danger.
"I never imagined you would possess a peerless divine weapon, kid!" Ghost Shadow said, "Why have I never known? You don't consider me a friend, or you wouldn't have kept it from me."
"Actually, this peerless divine weapon..." Lu Fan said with some embarrassment, "Perhaps it was my own selfishness. If it weren't for the critical moment, I wouldn't have taken out this peerless divine weapon!"
"You've done very well, kid!" Jian Bei smiled and said, "If it weren't for your timely intervention, the entire Assassin branch would have perished. In that case, I would also be a sinner to the branch."
Upon hearing these words, everyone present nodded in agreement, their expressions earnest. They understood clearly that without Lu Fan's appearance, they would have no chance of survival.
"Branch Master, your kindness to me is immense. I don't want to hide anything from you anymore!" Lu Fan said, "Actually, I am not from the Assassin Dynasty at all, nor am I Hao..."
"Enough, don't say another word!"
Jian Bei waved his hand, "I already know what you're going to say. Perhaps you weren't before, but you are now a member of our Assassin Dynasty, and no one can take that away!"
"This..."
Lu Fan was slightly taken aback, clearly not expecting Jian Bei to speak in such a manner, which caught him off guard.
At the same time, Jian Bei patted Lu Fan's shoulder, "You shouldn't feel too much pressure. If you hadn't acted this time, the Assassin Dynasty would have been destroyed. Therefore, you are the benefactor of the Assassin Dynasty!"
"Yes, if you hadn't acted, we would all have met our doom!" Ghost Shadow said repeatedly, his tone quite solemn.
At the same time, Lu Fan was instantly touched and nodded slightly, "Don't worry, as long as I am here at the Assassin Dynasty branch, nothing will happen. I will never allow the people of the sacred land to come here and cause trouble!"
"With your words, I am at ease!"
Jian Bei nodded, then turned to Ghost Shadow and Peony, saying, "You two obey my command. In the future, assist Hao Tian well and manage the entire Assassin branch! Obey all of Hao Tian's orders!"
"Manage the Assassin branch?"
Ghost Shadow and Peony exchanged glances, their hearts stirred. These words left them somewhat bewildered, as if there was a deeper meaning. Su Dan Novel Network
"I intend to step back from the front lines. From now on, do not involve me in the affairs of the Assassin Dynasty branch," Jian Bei waved his hand, "I wish to break through to higher realms. Therefore, I will pass on the position of Branch Master of the Assassin Dynasty branch to Hao Tian. I trust you have no objections?"
"No objections, of course, no objections!"
Ghost Shadow quickly replied, a smile appearing on his face, "This is well-deserved. If it weren't for Lu Fan, we would have become cannon fodder long ago. I wholeheartedly support him becoming the Branch Master!"
Lu Fan stood there, momentarily stunned, naturally not expecting Jian Bei to speak in such a manner.
"I disagree! I am the senior disciple of the Assassin Dynasty branch, and this position of Branch Master should be mine!"
At this moment, a cold voice rang out. Hundred-Faced Scholar strode forward from nearby, his gaze becoming sharp.
"Where were you when the dynasty was in mortal danger just now?" Ghost Shadow said with a faint smile, "Now that everything is safe, you show up. You truly impress me."
"Don't spout nonsense here. I only just learned that the Xuan Guang Sacred Land was going to attack the Assassin Dynasty, so I rushed here," Hundred-Faced Scholar said coldly, "As the senior disciple of the Assassin Dynasty, it is my duty to bear the responsibility of the Assassin Dynasty!"
