"That's true, with a peerless divine weapon in hand, one can indeed be arrogant and overbearing," the old village chief nodded slightly.
Lu Fan felt a bit awkward. He had just remembered that he was a man with a peerless divine weapon. More importantly, he had already broken through to the Saint realm. He wondered how powerful the Divine Emperor's Cauldron would be if he wielded it again.
"Junior Brother Lu Fan, what are you doing here!"
Peony walked over. "Tomorrow is the disciple acceptance ceremony. You must prepare yourself. If you are accepted as a personal disciple, don't forget your senior sister."
"Got it!" Lu Fan nodded slightly, then forced a wry smile.
The old village chief chuckled, "Before, he was shouting about killing you, saying he would definitely get rid of you. Now he's so polite to you. Could it be that he's interested?"
"Old man, don't even think about it," Lu Fan gave him a look. "Besides, I didn't come to the Assassin Dynasty to talk about love, but to find the real culprit."
"The real culprit must be found, but why can't you be proactive if you meet someone you like?" The old village chief shrugged. "I think this young girl is quite good. If you, brat, can win her over, it might not be a bad thing."
Lu Fan rolled his eyes but didn't say anything else. He knew very well that he couldn't get involved with the Assassin Dynasty. He was only here to get clues.
The next day, on the main peak of Lion Peak, many figures stood tall. Lu Fan stood on the main peak stage, receiving the baptism of heavenly power. After the ceremony, he would be a disciple of a King-level assassin.
The Hundred-Faced Scholar stood to the side, filled with displeasure, but there was nothing he could do. Now that Lu Fan was about to become a personal disciple, even if he wanted to stop it, it was impossible.
After the ceremony, Lu Fan came before Jian Bei. "Master!"
"Mm!"
Jian Bei nodded slightly, feeling very satisfied. Taking Lu Fan as his disciple had always been his expectation. Su Dan Novel Network
"Now that you are my disciple, I will give you a gift!"
Jian Bei said, taking out a token. "This is the Lord's Token. In the branch, besides me, you are the first person!"
As his words fell, the crowd erupted in an uproar, disbelief evident. They had clearly not expected Jian Bei to hand over the token to Lu Fan.
"Haotian, hurry up and accept the token!"
Gui Ying chuckled, "Many people covet this token. Now that Master has given it to you, you must treasure it well!"
Lu Fan nodded solemnly and slowly took the token, feeling a little ashamed. Even he had not expected Jian Bei to place such trust in him.
With this token, wouldn't he be able to command all the assassins in the Assassin Dynasty? This was immense authority.
The Hundred-Faced Scholar witnessed this firsthand, his heart filled with rage. He was the eldest disciple, and this token should have belonged to him. Now that it was given to Lu Fan, how could he accept it?
"To see the token is to see the Branch Lord. I didn't expect him to get this token. What about Senior Brother Ba mian?"
Many people present were discussing, filled with surprise. After all, such a thing was truly puzzling.
"Ba mian, although you are the eldest disciple, in terms of talent and perseverance, you are not as good as him!"
Jian Bei stated directly, "What do you think of my decision?"
"Since it is Master's decision, I naturally have no objections!"
The Hundred-Faced Scholar smiled, "Master's choice is naturally correct!"
"I don't think Senior Brother Ba mian thinks that way!"
Gui Ying said with a faint smile, "I know Senior Brother has long been eyeing this token."
"Gui Ying, don't falsely accuse me here!" The Hundred-Faced Scholar said coldly. "Furthermore, this is the person Master has chosen, and there will be no problems. If you continue to babble here, don't blame me for not respecting our fellow discipleship!"
"It seems Senior Brother Ba mian's sore spot has been poked, otherwise, why would he be so angry?" Gui Ying chuckled nonchalantly.
"Enough, you are all from the same sect, why can't you speak properly?" Jian Bei frowned. "In the future, you must help each other and complete the great cause of my Assassin Dynasty."
"Master is right. We were too rash!"
The Hundred-Faced Scholar quickly cupped his fists, his expression becoming indifferent, as if he didn't care about today's events.
Jian Bei didn't say much and directly left the high platform, as if he had something on his mind.
After receiving the token, Lu Fan was also pleased. With the token in hand, he was now Jian Bei's closest confidant, and obtaining the mission scroll would not be difficult.
Shortly after, Lu Fan and the other three were summoned into the great hall. Jian Bei had been waiting for a long time and looked at everyone. "I called you here today for no other reason than to tell you that from now on, you can go out and help me complete a mission."
"Master, please speak directly. We will go through fire and water for you!" Peony quickly cupped her fists.
"A peerless divine weapon has appeared in the Eastern Region. If our branch can obtain it, the Assassin Dynasty will surely advance further in the entire Eastern Region!"
Jian Bei stated directly, "Master also sincerely hopes that you can find that peerless divine weapon!"
"Master, rest assured. Since it is a mission assigned by Master, we will not neglect it," Gui Ying said. "That peerless divine weapon will surely belong to our Assassin Dynasty!"
"Don't speak too soon, or you'll bite your tongue!" The Hundred-Faced Scholar said coldly. "You might not know that the peerless divine weapon possesses infinite power. Moreover, in this vast sea of people, finding a peerless divine weapon is not an easy task!"
Gui Ying was unfazed by these words. He had traveled all over the land and seen all sorts of artifacts. Even if it was a peerless divine weapon, he was confident he could retrieve it.
"You don't need to argue. The peerless divine weapon is indeed an extraordinary item, and finding it also involves great danger."
Jian Bei waved his hand. "Haotian, although your talent is extraordinary, you have just broken through to the Saint realm. You must learn from your senior brothers along the way!"
"Disciple remembers this!"
Lu Fan quickly cupped his fists. He felt a bit unfamiliar with the name Haotian, but he might get used to it as he used it.
"If that's the case, then you shall depart now! Go and find the peerless divine weapon, the Divine Emperor's Cauldron!" Jian Bei said directly. He had received a lot of news that the peerless divine weapon had appeared in the Eastern Region. If it could be found, it would be a great boon for the Assassin Dynasty.
"Divine Emperor's Cauldron?" Lu Fan was slightly taken aback, his face instantly showing a trace of awkwardness.
"What is it?"
Jian Bei asked, "Have you seen it?"
