"Archaic Lin Family?" Lu Fan narrowed his eyes, a cold smile appearing. "Even if it's the Archaic Lin Family, so what? Aren't they being too arrogant? If the Archaic Lin Family truly intends to interfere, I certainly won't stand idly by."
"But if you mobilize, the Assassin Dynasty itself could be in great danger," Ghost Shadow said again. "The sector lord must know that this matter is not trivial. Moreover, the Xuanguang Holy Land is already stirring, intending to retaliate against the Assassin Dynasty. Mobilizing now to deal with the Wuji Sect is not the best choice."
"The Eighteen Gates of Kyushu are my friends. I treat them like family. How can I watch them meet with disaster?"
Lu Fan stated directly, "You're saying all this for the Assassin Dynasty. I understand that very well. However, I am currently the sector lord of the Assassin Dynasty, and I absolutely will not allow such a thing to happen!"
After speaking, Lu Fan prepared to summon the many assassins of the Assassin Dynasty to head towards the Eighteen Gates of Kyushu. In truth, he was well aware that the strength of the Assassin Dynasty's branch was not very great. If they could complement each other with the Eighteen Gates of Kyushu, then in the future, they wouldn't need to fear even the Holy Lands. This was a crucial point.
Seeing Lu Fan's directness, Ghost Shadow could not advise further. After all, he had no good reason to say more about today's events.
Meanwhile, everyone's expressions also turned grave. They knew very well that Lu Fan's decision meant the entire Assassin Dynasty was about to enter a deadlock. However, they had great faith in Lu Fan.
"This matter likely needs to be known by the old sector lord!"
Peony said solemnly, "After all, this concerns the fate of the Assassin Dynasty and the lives of many assassins. I fear..."
Lu Fan's brow furrowed slightly. He understood that this was indeed not something he could decide alone. After all, the many assassins of the Assassin Dynasty were all living souls. Whether they could return after going to aid the Eighteen Gates of Kyushu this time was uncertain.
Just as Lu Fan hesitated, a figure suddenly appeared behind them. "He is now the sector lord of the Assassin Dynasty. All matters are to follow his command!"
"Master!"
Ghost Shadow and Peony clasped their fists. They hadn't expected Jian Bei to appear at this time.
"Master, do you agree with me going to rescue the Eighteen Gates of Kyushu?" Lu Fan clasped his fists, his gaze solemn.
"Since the people of the Eighteen Gates of Kyushu are your friends, they are equivalent to friends of the Assassin Dynasty. The Assassin Dynasty has never mistreated its friends," Jian Bei said. "Furthermore, you are now the branch lord of the Assassin Dynasty. The decision-making power for all matters rests with you. No one can defy you. If anyone does, they are to be executed on the spot. This is the authority I grant you, and you must also shoulder the responsibility of a sector lord!"
"Thank you, Master!" Lu Fan clasped his fists, a wave of gratitude surging within him. He hadn't expected Jian Bei to speak like this, which brought a warmth to his heart.
"There's no need for so many words. Hurry and set off. If I'm not mistaken, the Wuji Divine Sect must have mobilized many experts from the Lin family. By then, there will likely be a fierce battle, so you must be careful!" Jian Bei reminded him. "Unless absolutely necessary, never use the Peerless Divine Weapon. Its power is too immense, and you cannot control it yet. When you can truly control it, perhaps then you can do everything."
Facing these words, Lu Fan nodded gravely, a gleam in his eyes. He naturally understood these matters.
However, not using the Peerless Divine Weapon was not an easy task. This Peerless Divine Weapon possessed infinite power and could suppress all strong individuals. Moreover, the Wuji Divine Sect was full of experts. If there were Saint King realm powerhouses, Lu Fan might not be able to deal with them and would have to rely on the power of the Peerless Divine Weapon.
After gathering, the many assassins of the Assassin Dynasty marched directly towards the Eighteen Gates of Kyushu, carrying an supreme imposing aura that seemed to reach the heavens.
The numerous assassins of the Assassin Dynasty did not conceal themselves in any way. This time, as they left the Assassin Dynasty, they carried a resolve for death, as they could sense some aura of doom. However, they had no regrets.
Within the Eighteen Gates of Kyushu, the disciples had suffered more than half their casualties. They appeared quite battered. Under the suppression of the powerful formation, their spiritual power was extremely weak, making it impossible for them to contend with the disciples of the Wuji Divine Sect.
Ancestor Shen repeatedly tried to break the formation, but to no avail. Each time, he was stopped by the Wuji Sect Master, filling him with immense rage but also helplessness.
This matter was no small affair, catching him off guard and leaving him utterly frustrated.
At the same time, the Wuji Sect Master sneered, "The situation has reached this point, there's no turning back. Just accept your fate! It's better than seeking your own death."
"You have quite a bold tone!"
Ancestor Shen said coldly, "The situation has reached this point, and it is indeed my oversight. But if you wish to exterminate my Eighteen Gates of Kyushu, your Wuji Divine Sect is not capable of it!"
"To think you still speak with such a hardened tone when facing death. What's the point?"
The Wuji Sect Master let out a cold laugh. "When my grand-uncle completes the formation, it will be your death day, and the entire Eighteen Gates of Kyushu will be buried with you!"
Ancestor Shen gritted his teeth, his eyes showing a cold glint. He was naturally filled with displeasure towards the Wuji Sect Master.
"Take them and escape! You must take them and escape!"
A scream rang out. Sect Master Liu was directly killed by a peak Saint realm expert. Amidst the rain of blood, the scene became even more terrifying.
Seeing Sect Master Liu perish, the disciples of the Eighteen Gates of Kyushu were instantly filled with fury. In the history of the Eighteen Gates of Kyushu, such a thing had never happened. Their dignified Sect Master had been forcefully killed. How could they accept this?
"Sect Master Liu!"
Xu Fei cried out, despair evident. He never imagined that the Eighteen Gates of Kyushu would fall to such a state. He felt utterly powerless. The Wuji Divine Sect had sent so many experts to deal with the Eighteen Gates of Kyushu, catching them completely off guard.
"Hurry and go! A gap has already been opened. Hurry and leave, don't stay at the Eighteen Gates of Kyushu!"
Old Master Han shouted, forcefully opening a fissure. This fissure could only allow a few disciples to escape, but now, any who could leave was one. Those who remained were likely to meet a tragic end. They were all too aware of this.
Seeing this, Xu Fei and the others did not hesitate, fleeing towards the opening. They knew very well that only outside help could save the Eighteen Gates of Kyushu.
