"That is natural. To want to leave the Nine Provinces Eighteen Sects, how could one do so without some skills!"
The old man said earnestly, "However, with this map in my possession, if you want to get out, you'll still have to rely on me!"
"Senior speaks the truth!"
Lu Fan cupped his fists and said, "Senior's great kindness is unforgettable, and I will never fail Senior!"
The old man was quite pleased with these words, and then nodded slightly, "Since that is the case, then I have nothing more to say. Seeing that you are quite polite, I will take you out with me!"
Lu Fan showed delight. As long as he could leave the Nine Provinces Eighteen Sects, he would be able to recover his spiritual power, and at that time, he would have nothing to fear.
However, they had not gone far when Old Man Han suddenly hid himself, and at the same time, he grabbed Lu Fan, "Why aren't you hiding quickly, boy? Ahead is the spirit mine. If you are discovered, you'll be captured and made a slave!"
Lu Fan quickly nodded, feeling a bit apprehensive. He didn't know much about the Nine Provinces Eighteen Sects, but he was certain of one thing: if they were caught, neither of them would have a good end.
Sister Zhao, with a group of servants, was searching everywhere for Lu Fan's figure, but she did not see him, which made her expression somewhat displeased. Naturally, she had not expected Lu Fan to be so bold as to leave his cave dwelling alone.
If anyone else from the Nine Provinces Eighteen Sects saw him, nine heads wouldn't be enough to lose.
"Quick, someone! Someone is trying to escape from the Nine Provinces Eighteen Sects!"
At that very moment, Old Man Han's voice rang out, sounding even more playful.
Lu Fan was even more astonished. They were hiding behind a rock, but they never expected Old Man Han to shout so loudly and without any reservation.
"Are you crazy, old man? Do you think you'll live if you attract them over?" Lu Fan cursed.
"Everyone, hurry! Someone is trying to escape from the Nine Provinces Eighteen Sects!" Old Man Han's voice continued to ring out, without the slightest sense of incongruity.
Lu Fan was also exasperated, but he couldn't say any more. He turned to flee. He had thought this old man could help him leave the Nine Provinces Eighteen Sects, but now it seemed he had encountered a lunatic.
"So someone really is trying to escape!"
Tu Wenhai immediately sneered, leading everyone to capture Lu Fan. Lu Fan had no spiritual power now and was just an ordinary person, so how could he outrun the people of the Nine Provinces Eighteen Sects.
"You boy have quite a bit of nerve, trying to leave the Nine Provinces Eighteen Sects!" Tu Wenhai said coldly, "Do you know the consequences of running away?"
"It's simply a joke. I was never a member of the Nine Provinces Eighteen Sects in the first place, so why can't I escape?"
Lu Fan said coldly, "You captured me here, which was inherently unjust!"
"You boy are truly too naive. In these Nine Provinces Eighteen Sects, there is no such thing as justice or injustice!"
Tu Wenhai said coldly, "Since you have broken the rules, you must die!"
"If you have the ability, feel free to come at me!"
Lu Fan said coldly, "If I so much as frown, then consider me defeated!"
"Good boy, you certainly have backbone. Within the Nine Provinces Eighteen Sects, I have never seen anyone with such backbone!"
With coldness in his eyes, Tu Wenhai sneered, "I'd like to see how long you can remain tough."
"What, you plan to deal with just me?"
Lu Fan sneered, " Wasn't that old man also an escapee?"
"What nonsense are you talking about? He is the Sect Master Han of the Nine Provinces Eighteen Sects. How could he be an escapee?"
Tu Wenhai sneered, "You boy must have lost your mind."
Lu Fan froze on the spot, his face twitching. Looking at the old man before him, he was filled with disdain. He never imagined that this old man was actually tricking him.
"Little fellow, this world is very deep, you still need to be careful!"
With a faint smile, Old Man Han narrowed his eyes, "After all, a moment of carelessness can lead to capsizing in the gutter!"
"You old rascal are indeed cunning. I've fallen into your trap!"
Lu Fan said coldly, his words filled with dissatisfaction, but it was useless. He had been tricked, and there was no point in saying more.
"Why are you here? I've been looking for you for a long time." Sister Zhao walked over with many slaves.
"Sister Zhao, he wanted to leave the Nine Provinces Eighteen Sects. According to the rules of the Nine Provinces Eighteen Sects, this boy is bound to die!" Tu Wenhai said directly, "Sister Zhao wouldn't be reluctant, would you?"
"I truly am reluctant!" Sister Zhao nodded and said, "Can you give me some face and let him go? I will discipline him well in the future!" Su Dan Novel Network
"Sister Zhao, have you forgotten that this matter is not trivial!"
Tu Wenhai said directly, "If we really let him go, it would be a violation of the rules of the Nine Provinces Eighteen Sects, so he must die today!"
With these words, Sister Zhao's expression instantly turned grim, "Can't I even get your respect? Or does it mean that I am completely worthless in your eyes."
"Sister Zhao, please don't make things difficult for me. If you feel something is amiss, you can go to the headquarters and ask those elders!" Tu Wenhai said directly.
"I don't want to ask, I just want to ask you one thing, I want to protect this person, are you willing?" Sister Zhao said directly.
"I will never violate the rules of the Nine Provinces Eighteen Sects!"
Tu Wenhai said directly, "I also hope Sister Zhao will not act recklessly, otherwise, it will be difficult to explain later!"
"Are you threatening me?"
Sister Zhao's aura surged. Lu Fan was someone she valued, and she had already taken him away, so Lu Fan's life and death must be decided by her. She would not allow anyone else to interfere.
"Sister Zhao, I wouldn't dare threaten you, but you should also understand that this matter cannot be compromised."
Tu Wenhai said directly, his gaze becoming sharper. He naturally saw everything clearly.
"Little Zhao, you shouldn't plead for him!" Old Man Han spoke, "According to the rules of the Nine Provinces Eighteen Sects, this boy is very likely to meet an untimely end!"
With these words, Sister Zhao's face turned ashen, "You old rascal, you don't even say a good word for me, you're just making trouble here!"
"Fine, fine. I think this boy is quite interesting. Why don't I let him follow me, so he doesn't die!" Old Man Han said, sighing.
"Sect Master Han, this may not be appropriate, right? He is just a slave, what qualifications does he have to follow you!" Tu Wenhai said, "It seems a bit unsuitable!"
"There's nothing unsuitable about it. If I think it's suitable, it's suitable. What are you babbling about, boy!" Old Man Han said, "Are you looking down on me? Believe it or not, I'll let you, Old Man Tu, teach you a lesson!"
"I dare not, I dare not!" Tu Wenhai quickly cupped his fists, his face showing embarrassment, especially with these words, which made him hesitant to act rashly.
Old Man Han was not someone he could afford to offend, and how could he dare to be presumptuous.
