"Since it's known to be the work of the Assassin Dynasty, this matter is no longer your concern," Young Master Tao stated directly. "Why do you still take it so much to heart!"
"The eighteen sects of the Nine Provinces have treated me as family, and Chen Xian'er and I also had a significant connection. Now that he has met an untimely end, how can I let it go?"
Lu Fan's words were solemn, without any reservation, as if all of this was indispensable in his eyes.
"You are truly too foolish. If it weren't for the protection of my Tao family, they would have tried to kill you!" Young Master Tao shook his head.
"I am well aware of this matter, so no matter what, I must thank you, Brother Tao!"
Lu Fan cupped his fists, his gaze becoming serious. If it weren't for the Tao family, he would have likely been headless by now, so Lu Fan felt quite grateful to the Tao family.
"Since you have made up your mind, I can't persuade you any further. But you must remember, the Assassin Dynasty's foundation is formidable, even my Tao family is not three parts as strong. If you truly intend to oppose the Assassin Dynasty, you must have a resolve to die!" Young Master Tao stated directly.
"Thank you for the reminder, Brother Tao!"
Lu Fan cupped his fists. "However, the Eastern Domain is so vast, how can I find the Assassin Dynasty's lair?"
"You are too naive, kid. The Assassin Dynasty's lair is not something ordinary people can find. To have been passed down for so long, if they didn't have some means, how could they sustain themselves? You should understand what I mean!"
"Meaning even you don't know!" Lu Fan immediately gave a wry smile. The reason he came to the Tao family was to ask Young Master Tao to help investigate this matter, but it seemed to be of no use now.
"Why don't you go to the Holy City? Perhaps there is news of the Assassin Dynasty there!" Tao Maocheng stated directly. "After all, the Holy City is teeming with experts, and they come from all corners of the world. The information there should be good."
"Holy City?" Lu Fan was somewhat surprised, not seeming to understand the Holy City.
"However, you must be careful. The Holy City is full of experts. If you cause trouble there, it will be real trouble." Young Master Tao stated directly. "But with your talent, you don't need to be overly afraid. It's just that you cannot show your true face. After all, you are an ancient divine body, and many people covet it. Although my Desolate Ancient Tao family can protect you, if you are not within the Tao family, someone will surely try to harm you."
"Thank you for the reminder, Brother Tao!" Lu Fan cupped his fists, his eyes filled with gratitude.
Tao Maocheng had protected him well throughout their journey, and Lu Fan was very clear about this.
After a conversation with Tao Maocheng, Lu Fan left the Tao family, preparing to head to the Holy City to find news of the Assassin Dynasty. This matter weighed on his heart, like a thorn.
After leaving the Tao family, Lu Fan hadn't walked a few steps when he saw Sister Zhao waiting for him not far away.
"The matter of the Assassin Dynasty is not something you can control!"
Sister Zhao stated directly. "Since this matter is not your doing, you don't need to get involved, lest you bring trouble upon yourself!"
"Although Xian'er was not killed by me, she has a great connection with me!" Lu Fan shook his head. "I must investigate this matter thoroughly, otherwise, how can I face Xian'er!"
"But do you know? The Assassin Dynasty is not an ordinary force. If you truly intend to deal with them, it will bring endless trouble!" Sister Zhao's eyes were serious. "If that's the case, you should know the consequences!"
"A person lives in this world, but for one life. What does that amount to?"
Lu Fan smiled faintly, not caring at all. Even if the Assassin Dynasty was filled with experts, he would still find the true culprit and would never sit idly by.
Seeing Lu Fan's resolute stance, Sister Zhao stood by, feeling helpless. This matter was not something she could control, nor was Lu Fan's decision something she could stop.
"Since you insist on managing this matter, then you must take care of yourself and absolutely do not let the people of the Assassin Dynasty discover you!" Sister Zhao warned. "The people of the Assassin Dynasty will never be merciful!"
"Thank you for your reminder, I will be careful!" Lu Fan nodded slightly. "Furthermore, as I said, I will give Grandpa Chen an explanation, and I will never go back on my word!"
Facing Lu Fan's words, Sister Zhao also nodded slightly. Although she was a little worried, she couldn't say much more, as some things are not so easy to speak of.
After Lu Fan left, he headed straight for the Holy City. This time, he was prepared for his journey to the Holy City.
After traveling for a thousand miles, Lu Fan carefully examined the map and then headed east. However, just then, Lu Fan noticed that someone seemed to be following him, and his brow furrowed slightly.
Only now did Lu Fan realize this, which showed how strong the person hidden in the shadows was.
"I wonder who it is, and why they are following me all the way?"
A cold glint appeared in his eyes, and Lu Fan looked around, carrying a killing intent.
"I truly didn't expect that even though I hid so deeply, you could still sense me!"
A burst of laughter sounded, and an elder appeared before Lu Fan. He looked as calm as still water, but his eyes were somewhat sharp.
"Who are you?"
Lu Fan asked coldly. "Why are you following me?"
"You probably don't know yet! I've been looking for you for a long time. If it weren't for you, I wouldn't have been able to leave the Holy Land for so long!"
Elder Ye Qiu smiled. "I am an elder of the Purple Light Holy Land. You can call me Elder Ye!"
"Purple Light Holy Land?"
Lu Fan's brow furrowed slightly, and his eyes became more vigilant. He was very clear that any place called a Holy Land was not an ordinary force. It seemed that the elder before him was likely not an ordinary person.
"You don't need to be afraid. I'm not here to deal with you!"
Elder Ye Qiu smiled. "I know you are an ancient divine body. If you can join my Purple Light Holy Land, you will surely have a bright future!"
"Join the Holy Land?" Lu Fan raised his eyebrows slightly. "In other words, you have been scheming to bring me into the Purple Light Holy Land?"
"That's right. As long as you are willing to join the Purple Light Holy Land, you will be the Holy Son of the Purple Light Holy Land in the future, enjoying endless resources, and you will be held in high regard throughout the entire Eastern Domain!"
Elder Ye Qiu stated directly. "At that time, you will be able to command the wind and rain, do anything, and achieve whatever you desire."
"I'm truly sorry, I'm not interested in this!" Lu Fan shook his head. "However, thank you for your kindness!"
"You should consider it carefully. Not everyone can become the Holy Son of the Purple Light Holy Land!"
Elder Ye Qiu stated directly. "This is a once-in-a-century opportunity. If you miss it, you will likely regret it for the rest of your life. It's better to fulfill my wish."
