Within Lion Peak, Lu Fan and Jian Bei and others returned to the great hall. The killing intent of everyone dissipated, but Jian Bei was quite displeased with what had happened today.
"Xuan Guang Sheng has quite the audacity!" Jian Bei said coldly. "To dare act so presumptuously before me, I will make him pay the price!"
"Master, please don't be angry. It's good that Haotian is unharmed," Gui Ying interjected. "After all, this matter is no laughing matter. If you hadn't appeared in time, Haotian might have lost his life on the spot!"
"That's right, we were fortunate that Master arrived in time!" Mu Dan also nodded. "Otherwise, Haotian would have been in real danger. I didn't expect that our expedition to find a peerless divine weapon would yield no news and instead cause trouble for Master!"
"What nonsense is this? You are all assassins of the Assassin Dynasty, and you are also my disciples. How could I stand by and watch you get into trouble?" Jian Bei waved his hand. "However, speaking of which, Xuan Guang Holy Land has considerable power, and they possess a peerless divine weapon. If we make an enemy of them, it will not be good for the Assassin Dynasty."
"It's all my fault for causing these troubles," Lu Fan said with a wry smile. "I ask for your punishment, Master!"
"Don't say such things anymore!" Jian Bei waved his hand. "You are my closed-door disciple, after all. How could I let him act so outrageously!"
"Thank you, Master!" Lu Fan clasped his fists quickly, his expression solemn.
At the same time, Jian Bei's gaze suddenly turned towards the direction of Xuan Guang Holy Land, his eyes carrying a hint of coldness.
"Master, what's happening?" Gui Ying sensed something amiss and quickly asked.
"If I'm not mistaken, Xuan Guang Holy Land has mobilized a peerless divine weapon!" Jian Bei said coldly. "It seems they are targeting our Assassin Dynasty."
"Mobilized a peerless divine weapon?" Lu Fan was shocked. "Could they be planning to attack the Assassin Dynasty!"
"It seems they won't let go after you killed the four elders of Xuan Guang Holy Land!" Jian Bei said. "A peerless divine weapon has immeasurable power. If they truly activate it, I'm afraid even I won't be their match."
"Then what should we do!" Mu Dan exclaimed in horror. "Won't we become lambs to the slaughter then!"
"The Assassin Dynasty has been able to pass down from ancient times because of its inexhaustible heritage!" Jian Bei said coldly. "Under normal circumstances, they shouldn't dare to act rashly, but they might demand that I hand over Haotian!"
"How can that be! Haotian must not be handed over!" Gui Ying said with a heavy expression. "If Haotian is handed over, where is the dignity of the Assassin Dynasty!"
"Don't worry, he is my closed-door disciple. How could I possibly hand him over!" Jian Bei waved his hand and said to Lu Fan, "Go and prepare yourself. Prepare to leave Lion Peak and hide elsewhere. As for Xuan Guang Holy Land, I will handle it!"
"This matter started because of me, so how can I leave so easily!" Lu Fan shook his head, his expression even more solemn. "I want to share life and death with the Assassin Dynasty!"
"Don't you understand? Now is not the time to say such things!" Gui Ying shook his head. "Only if you leave will Master have an excuse. Otherwise, it will be difficult to persuade them!"
"But if I leave, Xuan Guang Holy Land will never give up," Lu Fan shook his head. "What should we do then! A peerless divine weapon is no ordinary item!"
"The Assassin Dynasty has extraordinary heritage!" Jian Bei's expression was indifferent. "If Xuan Guang Holy Land truly intends to make a move, then they are digging their own grave!"
"That's right, Master has said so, so don't hesitate anymore!" Mu Dan urged. "After all, this is not a joking matter. If you don't leave now, you might not have another chance."
Lu Fan hesitated for a moment, then finally nodded slightly. He understood the situation clearly. At this point, he could only leave first.
At the same time, Jian Bei said again, "You must keep the舵主令牌 (Duòzhǔ Lìngpái - helmsman token) that I gave you safe! This token is extraordinary and can command the Saint-level assassins of the Assassin Dynasty. It must not be lost easily."
"Thank you for the reminder, Master. I will be careful!" Lu Fan nodded slightly.
In order not to implicate the Assassin Dynasty, Lu Fan had no choice but to leave first. This way, Xuan Guang Holy Land would have no reason to attack.
Seeing Lu Fan leave, Jian Bei felt somewhat relieved and then looked at Gui Ying and Mu Dan. "You two go as well! I will guard Lion Peak, and there will surely be no problem!"
"They are hunting Haotian, and it has nothing to do with us," Gui Ying shook his head. "Moreover, with us here, we can also help Master hold the fort!"
"I believe you should understand that the dignity of the Holy Land cannot be violated!" Jian Bei said. "Now that the Holy Land has activated a peerless divine weapon, they will likely not give up. If you stay, it will only be adding to the casualties!"
"Does Master mean that Xuan Guang Holy Land will make a strong move?" Gui Ying frowned slightly. "If that is the case, then we should not leave even more. We are people of the Assassin Dynasty in life, and ghosts of the Assassin Dynasty in death!"
With these words, Jian Bei was quite moved, but he knew very well that once the Holy Land prepared to act, they would not show mercy, as this had always been the style of the Holy Land.
"As your Master, my word is your command. You are not allowed to refuse!" Jian Bei said with a cold expression. "Moreover, I have already given the branch token to Haotian. If I die, he will be the branch helmsman. You two must do your best to assist him!"
"Master, why say such a thing!" Mu Dan frowned. "Could it be that with Xuan Guang Holy Land's arrival, Master has prepared himself to fight to the death?" Su Dan Xiao Shuo Wang
"This matter is of great importance! I cannot be sure!" Jian Bei shook his head. "However, all things have their causes and effects. Xuan Guang Holy Land's arrival this time is definitely not for good."
"If that's the case, then we absolutely cannot leave!" Gui Ying said solemnly, his expression extremely grave.
"This is my order. Do you intend to disobey my command?" Jian Bei said coldly. "You two leave Lion Peak as soon as possible! Anyone who dares to disobey my command is challenging my authority!"
Gui Ying and Mu Dan were stunned and did not know what to say. They naturally would not disobey Jian Bei's wishes, but how could they stand by and watch Lion Peak be in danger.
Seeing Jian Bei's directness, Gui Ying dared not say more and left Lion Peak with Mu Dan. However, they did not leave immediately but waited quietly outside Lion Peak. If a battle were to break out, they would not stand idly by.
