"Tianhuo Pavilion has paid too much for me!"
Lu Fan said with a wry smile, "How can I let them suffer any more harm!"
"That may be so, but it won't be easy for you to leave today!"
The elder Hongmeng warned, "Outside Tianxian City, there are at least four Venerables. If they attack together, you will surely turn into ashes!"
"My death is insignificant!"
Lu Fan said with a wry smile, "It's just that you, old man, and Xiao Ke are implicated."
"Don't say unlucky things, you brat!"
Elder Hongmeng gave him a look, "I'm here, old man. Even if I die, I won't let anything happen to you!"
"Forget it!"
Lu Fan rolled his eyes. He knew very well that Elder Hongmeng was not in good condition. Now, asking Elder Hongmeng for help was naturally a bit beyond his capabilities.
Not long after, Bai Hu and the others entered Tianxian City. Within Tianxian City, many experts observed them, but they dared not show themselves.
Bai Hu and the others' auras were too powerful, coupled with such a strong presence, they were definitely not ordinary people. If they offended them by mistake, who could bear the consequences.
Bai Hu rode a fierce tiger, and beside him were many experts, all riding exotic beasts. They looked noble and did not seem like people from Tianxian City.
At the Bai family's mansion, a man rushed to report, "This is bad, this is really bad! People from the Eighth Prince's Estate have arrived at Tianxian City!"
"The Eighth Prince's Estate?"
Bai Yetian frowned. The Eighth Prince's Estate arriving late at night must have come prepared. In that case, Lu Fan might be in danger.
"Summon the many experts of the Bai family and tell them not to leave the Bai family. It's Grade One alert tonight!" Bai Yetian ordered.
The man nodded hurriedly and then passed on the message.
Not long after, Old Master Bai also came out, "The Eighth Prince's Estate has really sent people?"
"That's right, they have already arrived at Tianxian City!"
Bai Yetian nodded, "Tonight will likely be a sleepless night. I wonder if brother Lu can escape this calamity."
"The Eighth Prince's Estate has sent experts. Can the Bai family only sit and wait for death?" Bai Xue said, "He saved our Bai family today!"
"Xiao Xue, I understand your feelings, but the Bai family absolutely cannot get involved."
Old Master Bai said directly, "This matter is not trivial. If something goes wrong, it will surely bring disaster. Where will our Bai family go then!"
"Grandfather, I understand what you're saying, but I absolutely cannot tolerate such a thing happening."
Bai Xue said seriously and was even prepared to leave the Bai family to search for Lu Fan. She would never allow Lu Fan to fight alone.
"Stop!"
Bai Yetian's expression was icy. "I can understand what you're doing, but you should also know that the Bai family cannot afford to be tossed around, so you cannot go out. No matter what you think, you should consider the Bai family. As for brother Lu, we can only rely on his fate."
"Fate?"
Bai Xue was stunned and filled with helplessness, even extreme grief. Was it like this throughout the entire spiritual realm, where the strong preyed on the weak, with no reason at all.
"Yetian, take your sister back to her room and don't let her out again!" Old Master Bai said, "This matter concerns the survival of the Bai family, and we must not be careless."
Bai Yetian nodded slightly and was about to speak when Bai Xue's spiritual energy surged, intending to rush out of the Bai family.
"Presumptuous!"
The head of the Bai family's expression turned cold, and a heavy blow directly knocked Bai Xue unconscious. Bai Yetian watched the scene with helplessness.
"Take the young lady down and lock her in her room. She is absolutely forbidden to leave even half a step tonight," Old Master Bai said coldly.
Bai Yetian stood to the side, saying nothing more. He knew very well that the Old Master was doing this for the sake of the Bai family.
Meanwhile, at the Tianxian Tavern, Lu Fan was eating snacks and humming a tune, appearing even more indifferent.
At this moment, below the tavern, Bai Hu and the others had arrived. They looked at Lu Fan on the tavern balcony and smiled faintly, "I didn't expect you to still have this leisure. It seems the deterrence of the Eighth Prince's Estate still can't threaten you?"
"I've been waiting for you for a long time," Lu Fan narrowed his eyes. "The true mastermind behind the Eighth Prince's Estate!"
"Enough with the nonsense, you are bound to die today!"
Bai Hu said coldly, "However, if you are willing to defect to me, perhaps there is still a glimmer of hope."
"I think it's better to forget it!"
Lu Fan waved his hand. "I'm not used to people who don't even let their own brothers go."
Xuanwu stood to the side, his brow furrowed slightly. Lu Fan's words seemed to carry a deep meaning.
"You brat, don't talk nonsense. Where exactly did you tie Xiao Zhi up?" Elder Tian said coldly, "If you don't confess honestly, you should know your fate."
"What a joke, how would I know where he went?" Lu Fan shrugged. "Are you here to kill him?"
"Don't talk nonsense, he is my own brother. How could I kill him? I'm here to save him," Bai Hu sneered.
"Is that so?"
Lu Fan narrowed his eyes. "You schemed and plotted to seize the throne, and you didn't spare your own brothers. Now you speak so nobly. Are you saying this for me to hear?"
"My Lord, what's going on?" Xuanwu asked, "Could it be..."
"Xuanwu Divine Guard, are you questioning me?"
Bai Hu's expression instantly turned cold, and he looked at Xuanwu. Even if Xuanwu was strong, he was only his father's subordinate, so why would he take him seriously.
"Of course I wouldn't dare to question you, my Lord, but this matter might have other complexities. I will report everything to His Highness after we return to the estate!" Xuanwu said coldly.
Bai Hu's face instantly darkened. He never expected Xuanwu to be so tactless. If he had obediently listened to him, perhaps he could have recruited him. But now, it seemed unlikely. With Xuanwu's personality, he wouldn't be able to join forces with him.
"So there are people who are not on the same side as you?"
Lu Fan smiled, "If you have the chance, it's best to tell your Prince that he is not a kind person. If it weren't for him, Bai Xi wouldn't have chosen to go far away."
"You brat, you want to sow discord, but it won't be that easy."
With a cold smile, Bai Hu's expression turned cold, and he glanced at Elder Tian.
Upon receiving the signal, Elder Tian did not dare to hesitate. He directly lunged towards Lu Fan. This was a second-grade Venerable, and dealing with Lu Fan was as easy as turning his hand.
Sensing the fierce attack, Lu Fan's body suddenly leaped up, and his eyes became cold. "People from the Eighth Prince's Estate, as expected, not a single good one!"
As Lu Fan's figure ascended, streams of flame power surged forth, and the entire Tianxian City was instantly engulfed in a raging inferno.
