"You're quite the braggart, claiming to be wanted everywhere in the Eastern Domain and yet you want to take on disciples!"
Elder Ye Qiu sneered, "I don't think you'll be alive for much longer. Why don't you all just die, then I won't have to worry about anything."
"You old man, your words are quite unkind!"
Chen Yishou said coldly, "Don't think you can act with impunity just because you're an elder of the Purple Light Holy Land. If you're really capable, you wouldn't be standing here doing nothing. If you've got the guts, try and make a move! See if you have the courage to do so within the Sacred City!"
Elder Ye Qiu froze, his heart filled with anger, but he dared not make a rash move. This was the Sacred City, and if he were to act here, wouldn't he be inviting his own demise?
"Don't try to trick me, I'm not that easily fooled!"
Ye Qiu said sternly, "This is the Sacred City. If I truly make a move here, it will undoubtedly bring trouble to the Purple Light Holy Land!"
"So, you're saying you don't dare to make a move?"
Chen Yishou smiled faintly, "Since you don't dare, why waste your breath talking nonsense? Hurry up and leave!"
Elder Ye Qiu paid him no mind. While he couldn't make a move within the Sacred City, it wasn't for Chen Yishou to dictate. Getting him to leave was easier said than done.
"Kid, come with me!"
Chen Yishou grabbed Lu Fan and strode towards a courtyard, appearing quite familiar with the surroundings.
Some time later, Lu Fan arrived at the courtyard and observed it carefully before saying, "Is this your residence, senior?"
"This is it. The Sacred City is my home!"
Chen Yishou nodded slightly, "You haven't heard my name, kid?"
"I don't know much about matters in the Eastern Domain, so I haven't heard of you!"
Lu Fan shook his head, his expression becoming more solemn. Regardless of who this person was, he had saved him. Lu Fan was naturally quite grateful to the person before him.
"Let me put it this way! There aren't many people in the Eastern Domain who don't know me!"
Chen Yishou declared confidently, with a hint of arrogance in his words.
"Then what do you do, senior?"
Lu Fan asked in surprise, "Elder Ye Qiu just called you the Sacred Thief. Could it be..."
"That's right, there's nothing in the Eastern Domain that I can't steal!"
Chen Yishou chuckled faintly, "Back in the day, I could even manipulate the peerless divine weapons of the Holy Lands with ease. My reputation was quite grand then. It's a pity that I was too sharp back then, and now I can only recuperate within the Sacred City."
"The Holy Land's peerless divine weapons?"
Lu Fan was slightly taken aback. He hadn't expected this old man to possess such skills. The Holy Land's peerless divine weapons were no ordinary items; how could they be stolen so easily?
"But those things are in the past, not worth mentioning!" Chen Yishou waved his hand. "But speaking of which, kid, as an ancient divine body, how dare you roam around so carelessly? If I hadn't arrived in time just now, your life would have been in danger."
Lu Fan instantly became vigilant. It seemed this old man had saved him precisely because he was an ancient divine body, and perhaps had ulterior motives.
"Don't look at me like that, kid. I'm your savior!" Chen Yishou said lightly. "Of course, I have my own intentions. The reason I saved you is to have you become my disciple and inherit my legacy."
"What if I refuse?" Lu Fan narrowed his eyes. "Will you, like Elder Ye Qiu, try to eliminate me?"
"Don't worry, I won't do anything so unscrupulous!"
Chen Yishou smiled faintly, his expression becoming more serious. "If you don't want to, I won't force you! However, even if you don't wish to become my disciple, it will be very difficult for you to survive in the Eastern Domain!"
"Because I'm an ancient divine body?" Lu Fan smiled faintly. "I will remember everyone who makes a move against me and repay them tenfold!"
"Good kid, I knew I wasn't wrong about you!" Chen Yishou nodded slightly. "Don't refuse so quickly, you can consider it. If you become my disciple, I can pass on my legacy to you. Then, no matter what you wish for, I can fulfill your desires."
"It's not impossible for me to become your disciple, unless you help me accomplish one thing!" Lu Fan changed the subject, his gaze becoming more serious.
"How many people have begged me to be their master, and you kid are actually setting conditions for me!" Chen Yishou rolled his eyes. "Speak, as long as I can do it, I will satisfy you!"
"Do you know about the Assassin Dynasty?" Lu Fan asked directly.
"The Assassin Dynasty?"
Chen Yishou froze, his eyes widening in shock. "Why are you asking about this, kid? Do you have a grudge against the Assassin Dynasty? If that's the case, I can't help you. The Assassin Dynasty is a force that even the Holy Lands fear."
"I want to know how to enter the Assassin Dynasty!" Lu Fan said calmly. "I know this matter is very significant and quite secretive, but I still want to know!"
"Kid, don't get any such ideas. Isn't it good to live well?" Chen Yishou rolled his eyes. "As for the Assassin Dynasty, it's not something you can meddle with. If you attract trouble, no one can save you!"
"It seems you're still unwilling to help me!"
Lu Fan gave a wry smile. "If that's the case, then I won't bother you. I'll go ask elsewhere in the Sacred City."
"I think you're crazy, kid!" Chen Yishou rolled his eyes. "If you really want to know about the Assassin Dynasty, you can go check the Myriad Scroll Pavilion, you might find something."
"Myriad Scroll Pavilion?"
Lu Fan was somewhat surprised. "Can I really find information about the Assassin Dynasty here?"
"The Myriad Scroll Pavilion collects all the information in the Spirit Realm, so it will naturally have information about the Assassin Dynasty!" Chen Yishou nodded. "And the Myriad Scroll Pavilion is in the Sacred City. But you need to think clearly, investigating the Assassin Dynasty is like a moth flying into a flame. You'll draw fire upon yourself, and even I won't be able to protect you."
"No one can stop what I intend to do!"
Lu Fan said faintly, and then left the courtyard.
Chen Yishou was quite helpless. He had met stubborn people before, but never someone as stubborn as Lu Fan. It gave him a headache.
After leaving the courtyard, Lu Fan arrived on the main street of the Sacred City. He carefully oriented himself before finding the Myriad Scroll Pavilion. It looked quite ancient, and even the font on the sign seemed lifelike.
Lu Fan stepped inside, but as soon as he crossed the threshold, he was repelled by a powerful sacred energy, leaving his arm feeling numb.
Many people on the street looked at Lu Fan and immediately showed mocking expressions. It was obvious to them that Lu Fan was new and didn't understand the rules of the Myriad Scroll Pavilion.
"Young man, with your strength, you won't be able to enter the Myriad Scroll Pavilion."
An old man with white hair smiled as he walked out of the Myriad Scroll Pavilion, his gaze fixed on Lu Fan.
