"The assassin dynasty Haotian is protected by my Desolate Ancient Tao Family. Anyone who dares to touch him will be an enemy of the Desolate Ancient Tao Family!"
The voice was filled with killing intent. The young master of the Tao family, wielding a peerless divine weapon, arrived at the peak of Flower City. The might of the Tongtian Mirror caused a sensation.
In addition, many experts from the Tao family had arrived, each of them extraordinary. It was clear they were serious.
"Desolate Ancient Tao Family?"
The Lin family's grand-uncle frowned. "What's going on? When did the assassin dynasty and the Desolate Ancient Tao Family become connected?"
"I don't know either!"
Dao Xuan shook his head slightly, feeling suspicious about this matter. Under normal circumstances, the Desolate Ancient Tao Family and the assassin dynasty should not have any connection.
Lu Fan, however, did not hesitate. Holding the corpse of the Shen family's ancestor, a cold glint flashed in his eyes.
Grandpa Shen had always treated him well. Now that he had been killed by someone from a holy land, Lu Fan could not accept it.
"Young Master Tao, the assassin dynasty and the Desolate Ancient Families are inherently enemies. You have come today with a peerless divine weapon. Are you trying to protect him?" Dao Xuan asked, "Have you considered our feelings in doing so?"
"It's your business to kill him, and it's my business to save him," the young master of the Tao family said coldly. "You do your thing, I do mine, and we won't interfere with each other!"
"Young Master Tao, your words are not entirely correct. If it were truly non-interference, then so be it, but it seems that it is not that simple."
The Lin family's grand-uncle smiled. "If you truly intend to protect him, then you will offend the Lin family and the Xuanguang Holy Land. Wouldn't that lead to a schism among the major powers?"
"I've already said that no one can stop me from saving the person I want to save!" the young master of the Tao family said indifferently. "If anyone dares to stop me, I will take their life. I believe you know that I always keep my word."
Dao Xuan sneered, "According to Young Master Tao's meaning, we must do as you wish, or else we will offend the Tao family?"
"You can think of it that way!"
Tao Maocheng smiled faintly, his eyes becoming calm, as if he did not take the Lin family and the Xuanguang Holy Land too seriously.
"Young Master Tao, I know that the Tao family is not an ordinary Desolate Ancient Family, and may even have a Divine King sitting in it. However, you should think carefully. It is not worth offending two major forces for an unknown person," the Lin family's grand-uncle said with a smile. "More importantly, you should be very clear that this matter is of great importance and is closely related to our two major forces. Once the Tao family gets involved, things will become complicated."
"There is nothing complicated about it. No one can stop me from doing what I want to do!"
Tao Maocheng used the Tongtian Mirror to directly shield Lu Fan, without saying anything more. He completely disregarded Dao Xuan and the others, as if they were mere air in his eyes. Su Dan Novel Network
Dao Xuan and the Lin family's grand-uncle exchanged glances, feeling somewhat bewildered. They had never expected the young master of the Tao family to be so direct and even disregard their opposition.
Many experts from the Tao family also arrived, their imposing aura causing fear.
"Xiao Fan, I'm here to take you back!"
The young master of the Tao family spoke. "As long as I am here, no one will be able to harm you!"
Lu Fan picked up the corpse of the Shen family's ancestor, his steps heavy. He looked at Dao Xuan and the others with a killing intent. He did not have the strength now, but soon, Lu Fan would make them pay. This deep hatred was irreconcilable.
"Young Master Tao, when did I say you could leave?" Bao Xue said coldly. "The people my Xuanguang Holy Land wants to kill cannot be taken away just because someone says so. If you insist on doing this, don't blame me for showing no mercy."
"No mercy?"
Tao Maocheng narrowed his eyes. "I'd like to see how you show no mercy! Do you want to cause a catastrophe in the Eastern Domain? You should know the might of my Tao family's Tongtian Divine Mirror. Once it is fully unleashed, it is not something you can resist."
Following these words, Dao Xuan's face turned ashen. "If such a thing happens, it will be your problem, and it will have nothing to do with us!"
"Now is not the time to shirk responsibility. If a war breaks out, it will inevitably cause turmoil in the Eastern Domain, which I believe is not what the two major forces want to see!" Tao Maocheng smiled. "Of course, you can choose not to heed my warning and insist on attacking me. However, my Desolate Ancient Tao Family is not a pushover. If anyone dares to make a move, I will never let it go."
"What a joke. Do you think you can scare us with just a few words?" the Lin family's grand-uncle said coldly. "My dignified Lin family is also a Desolate Ancient Family. If the Tao family truly intends to act recklessly here, the Lin family will not agree. Moreover, this person is an enemy of my Lin family. How can I let him go today?"
"Since everyone is unwilling, why don't we fight and save ourselves the trouble?"
The young master of the Tao family's expression was indifferent, with a sharp aura. At this point, he would not care about anything else, especially the arrogant words of the Lin family's grand-uncle.
"Everyone, please think carefully. If a war truly breaks out, the Desolate Ancient Tao Family is not afraid of you two!" an elder of the Tao family said with a smile. "It's best to weigh your options before acting, lest you cause unnecessary trouble and end up with more losses than gains."
"Hmph!"
Dao Xuan snorted and directly activated the Demon Subduing Pestle. Lu Fan must be kept here today, as this was also the intention of their Lin family. If anyone dared to defy the Lin family's wishes, he would not stop.
The Xuanguang Sword also slowly rose, exuding a powerful deterrent force that made everyone present retreat. It seemed that another great battle was about to begin. However, this time, it was an evenly matched contest. Two peerless divine weapons against two peerless divine weapons. Even if the entire Eastern Domain were to be torn apart, it would probably not be an exaggeration.
After all, these peerless divine weapons were not ordinary items. If they were fully unleashed, it would certainly be a catastrophe.
"Don't fight, don't fight!"
The white-haired old man in the distance shouted, his eyes filled with despair. He was very aware of the immense power of these peerless divine weapons. If two peerless divine weapons were to engage in battle, it would surely cause turmoil in the Eastern Domain, making people uneasy.
The Lin family's grand-uncle and Dao Xuan did not care about that. Lu Fan had to die today, and this was their unanimous thought.
"Brother Tao, I am very grateful for your arrival today, but I cannot let the Tao family be in a difficult position because of me," Lu Fan said. "Brother Tao, please leave! Don't fight with them."
"You are my sworn brother, how can I abandon you!" the young master of the Tao family shook his head.
