“That’s too exaggerated!”
Seeing the scene before him, Guiying was also somewhat shocked. He never expected the Old Madman’s strength to be so formidable, catching him off guard and even making him very confused.
“It’s not exaggerated at all. If I hadn’t sent a telepathic message to the Old Madman and asked him to show mercy, these few people would have died!” Lu Fan shrugged slightly, his expression even more indifferent.
“Why did the helmsman show mercy?”
Guiying was a little surprised. He looked towards Lu Fan, his heart even more confused.
“If we hadn’t shown mercy, wouldn’t we be endlessly pursued in the future!”
Lu Fan narrowed his eyes. “Within the Holy Land, there are even more powerful foundations. If they were to mobilize, it would undoubtedly be a huge blow to us!”
“The Old Madman is so strong. With him following us, wouldn’t it be foolproof!”
Guiying spoke again, his expression even more serious, because in his heart, he truly believed so.
“Some things are not as simple as they seem!”
Lu Fan shook his head and said, “I know the Old Madman’s strength better than anyone. He can indeed resist the people from the Holy Land, but he is not mentally sound, and we don’t know when his condition will flare up!”
“So the helmsman had already considered it carefully!”
Guiying nodded slightly and said no more, as if everything Lu Fan said had a certain logic and didn’t need to be refuted.
And within the Holy City, the onlookers were stunned. They never expected the outcome to be like this, which caught them off guard and was even shocking.
At this moment, Guiying also looked towards Lu Fan. “Now that the trouble is resolved, where are we going now?”
“Return to the branch hall!”
Lu Fan narrowed his eyes. “We have now obtained two peerless divine weapons, so we don’t need to be too wary of the Holy Land’s treatment. However, we cannot be too ostentatious, otherwise, it will undoubtedly be a disaster for the branch hall!”
Guiying nodded slightly, naturally agreeing with what Lu Fan said.
“Big brother, you go to the branch hall with Guiying. He will arrange things for you there!”
With a serious expression, Lu Fan said to the Old Madman, not daring to show any negligence.
Guiying, however, was a little surprised by these words. “Helmsman, aren’t you going back? Where are you planning to go?”
“The person who killed Grandpa Shen has not been completely annihilated yet, so naturally, I am going to find trouble with him!” Lu Fan narrowed his eyes.
Lin Jiashuzu was still alive, and Lu Fan would not allow such a thing to happen. After all, Dao Xuan was already dead, and now only Lin Jiashuzu remained. Even if he offended the Lin family, Lu Fan would not hesitate.
“I’ll accompany the Pavilion Master. That way, we can look out for each other!” Guiying quickly said, his heart filled with worry.
With these words, Lu Fan smiled faintly. “I possess two peerless divine weapons. Even without the Old Madman just now, I could still handle the situation with ease, so you don’t need to worry about me. Take him back to the branch hall and settle him properly!”
Guiying frowned, not knowing what to do. If he didn’t obey Lu Fan’s orders, it would naturally be inexcusable, but if Lu Fan acted alone, he worried about Lu Fan’s safety.
Lu Fan, however, paid no attention and disappeared in a flash, not caring about anything else.
Seeing that Lu Fan had already left, Guiying couldn’t say much more. He took the Old Madman and headed towards the branch hall.
And above the Holy City, everyone watched silently, feeling helpless. Clearly, they hadn’t expected things to turn out this way, which had caught them off guard.
“City Lord, who exactly was that old man? Why did he possess such a powerful aura? Even peerless divine weapons couldn’t suppress him!” a disciple asked, his heart filled with confusion.
“Actually, I don’t know either!”
The City Lord showed an embarrassed expression. Even he was full of questions. Who exactly was the Old Madman, to be so powerful?
Even if he were to act personally, he would likely not be worthy of even standing in front of the Old Madman, which showed how strong the Old Madman was.
Lin Wuya had created the entire Holy City with his own strength and was quite famous in the Eastern Region. The fact that even he couldn’t defeat this person showed how powerful he was.
And within the Holy City, many people were discussing the events of the day, naturally paying great attention to them. They had never expected to witness such a scene in their lives.
It was just an ordinary old madman who beat the Supreme Elders of the Holy Land to the point where they were crawling on the ground. If this news were to spread, where would the Holy Land’s dignity go?
At this very moment, within a forest, Qingdeng and Bai Yue stopped, their bodies panting heavily. Beside them were a group of Holy Land experts, looking very disheveled.
They had exerted a lot of effort to escape just now, and now that they had reached this point, they naturally dared not act recklessly.
“Who exactly was that old man just now!”
Elder Qingdeng said, “Why is his strength so great that even I am not his match? Even peerless divine weapons couldn’t completely shake him!”
“Where did this brat find such a powerful expert!”
With cold light in his eyes, Bai Yue said coldly, his heart filled with extreme dissatisfaction. Originally, Lu Fan was supposed to be dealt with today, but he never expected things to turn out this way, which caught him off guard.
“Could it be someone from the Assassin Dynasty? But why haven’t I heard of such a strong person within the Assassin Dynasty!”
With a look of surprise, Qingdeng said directly, “When I saw him make a move, he indeed resembled someone from the Assassin Dynasty, but I cannot be certain!”
“Did you notice that the aura displayed by that old man just now somewhat resembled that of a Great Sage?”
“Great Sage?”
Qingdeng was slightly stunned, his heart filled with dread. If this were true, it would undoubtedly be a devastating blow to them.
What kind of existence was a Great Sage? Perhaps even within the Holy Land, it might not be possible to produce one. Even if the Holy Land mobilized all its resources, it showed how terrifying a Great Sage was.
“Impossible, this is absolutely impossible!” Bai Yue shook his head. “If that old man was truly a Great Sage, he would have already killed us, so why would he spare our lives!”
“Although that is true, the strength of that person is indeed terrifyingly great!”
Qingdeng’s expression was serious, without any carelessness. He was very clear about this point.
“If that person is truly a Great Sage, it is definitely not a good thing for the Xuanguang Holy Land!”
Bai Yue said solemnly, “Then what should we do!”
“Now that things have reached this point, we can only take things one step at a time!” Qingdeng showed a wry smile, although it was not what he wished for.
