"The might of the peerless divine weapon is truly extraordinary!"
Old Man Han frowned, "Even before reaching its peak, it possesses such terrifying aura. If it were to reach its zenith, wouldn't it be capable of moving mountains and filling seas, perhaps even omnipotent!"
The other elders exchanged glances, their brows also furrowed. They were all acutely aware that the power of this peerless divine weapon reaching this stage was not what they had desired.
"Stop fighting, I've brought the person out!"
At that very instant, a voice echoed from the Kyushu Eighteen Sects. Xu Fei, with Lu Fan in tow, instantly broke through the seal of the Kyushu Eighteen Sects and emerged outside.
The moment they reached the outside world, the aura surrounding Lu Fan continuously strengthened. Clearly, the suppressed aura was gradually recovering.
"Brother Lu!"
Young Master Tao's face lit up with joy, a faint smile appearing. His Tao family had mobilized such a grand force today with the sole purpose of rescuing Lu Fan. Now that Lu Fan was safely out, there was no need for further drastic measures.
"Brother Tao, recall the peerless divine weapon! I'm already out!" Lu Fan said repeatedly, his tone earnest.
Young Master Tao nodded slightly and abruptly retracted the Tongtian Mirror. Now that Lu Fan had appeared, he naturally had no need to escalate the situation.
"You didn't suffer any grievances while you were in the Kyushu Eighteen Sects, did you?"
Han Xiaoxiao rushed over, "I was terribly worried!"
"You came too?" Lu Fan glanced at Han Xiaoxiao, a hint of confusion in his eyes.
"If she hadn't informed me, I wouldn't have known you were trapped in the Kyushu Eighteen Sects," Young Master Tao smiled. "But it's all good now. Your safety is the most important thing."
"Lu Fan, you are my Chen family's grandson-in-law. Do you intend to betray the Kyushu Eighteen Sects?"
Old Man Chen's brow furrowed, his gaze sharpening as he looked at Lu Fan. In his eyes, Lu Fan had already joined the Chen family and was one of their own.
"Elder Chen, I had no say in this marriage, and it was never successfully concluded. I hope you won't blame me," Lu Fan clasped his fists, his words sincere.
"You brat, are you trying to go back on your word by saying that?"
Old Man Han shot him a glance. "If that's the case, isn't that going too far?"
"Miss Chen Xian'er and I have no affection for each other. I hope everyone can understand!"
Lu Fan clasped his fists again, his meaning quite clear.
Seeing this, Old Man Chen's expression gradually turned grim. "You're too ungrateful, boy. No matter what, you cannot leave the Kyushu Eighteen Sects today!"
With that, Old Man Chen attempted to forcefully take Lu Fan back. His Chen family's son-in-law could not be lost like this, or his Chen family would become a laughingstock in the Kyushu Eighteen Sects in the future.
"Please, Elder Chen, respect yourself!"
Young Master Tao cupped his fists slightly, stepping in front of Elder Chen. Now that Lu Fan was unharmed, he did not wish to be overly aggressive. However, if the Kyushu Eighteen Sects were to forcibly take Lu Fan away, he would not stand idly by.
"Your Tao family merely desires the Divine Body, don't put on such a noble front!"
Old Man Chen sneered. "However, obtaining the Divine Body is not that easy. It depends on whether we agree!"
"If that is the case, then I must offend you!"
Young Master Tao instantly unleashed the Tongtian Mirror, exuding a supreme divine energy. Before Old Man Chen could react, he was wounded by a divine light, blood trickling from the corner of his mouth. Even though he had reached the ninth stage of Sainthood, he was still struggling against the formidable peerless divine weapon.
"Old Man Chen, are you alright?"
The other elders spoke out, their hearts filled with anger. They had never expected the Tao family to act so directly, so brazenly. Such an action was highly inappropriate.
"I'm fine!" Old Man Chen shook his head. "But when has our Kyushu Eighteen Sects ever suffered such humiliation!"
The other elders of the Kyushu Eighteen Sects nodded in agreement, their displeasure evident. They had never encountered anything like what had happened today.
"I did not wish to harm the Kyushu Eighteen Sects. My actions just now were out of necessity!"
Young Master Tao stated plainly, his gaze calm.
"Can your 'necessity' justify doing whatever you please?"
Just then, Chen Xian'er strode forward, her eyes filled with displeasure. As a member of the esteemed Eighteen Sects, they had never been subjected to such humiliation.
"Xian'er, why have you come? Hurry back," Old Man Chen frowned, urging her repeatedly.
"Grandfather, there's no need to persuade me. Today is my wedding day, and now that they have done this, how can I let it go?" Chen Xian'er's voice was cold.
"This wedding should never have happened!" Lu Fan stated directly. "Miss Chen, why are you so persistent!"
"The wedding has already taken place, and you are now a member of my Chen family," Chen Xian'er said coldly. "And regardless of whether you are willing, this is an undeniable fact."
"What a joke! Forcing him to marry, can such a marriage be considered valid?" Han Xiaoxiao retorted coldly. "I've never heard of such a thing."
"And who are you?" Chen Xian'er's brow furrowed.
"Naturally, I am his beloved. His heart belongs only to me, and he cannot possibly accommodate anyone else!"
Han Xiaoxiao stated directly. "So, Miss Chen, please exercise restraint. Why force the issue!"
Chen Xian'er stood frozen, her face burning with embarrassment. She had never imagined that Lu Fan already had someone he cared for. If she were to force this matter, it would not be good for his reputation.
"The Desolate Ancient Tao Family, what an imposing presence!"
As everyone was conversing, a chilling voice rang out. An elder slowly stepped forward, arriving before them. The aura he exuded caused everyone to tremble, and they all turned to look at the elder.
"Ancestor Shen!"
Within the Kyushu Eighteen Sects, many of the younger generation exclaimed in surprise, their faces showing delight. In the entire Kyushu Eighteen Sects, the most authoritative figure was Ancestor Shen, for he had surpassed the realm of Sainthood and reached a higher level, making him the pillar of the Kyushu Eighteen Sects. Su Dan Novel Network.
Seeing this, the elders of the Tao family also frowned deeply, their eyes filled with apprehension. They were well aware that Ancestor Shen possessed extraordinary strength and was not to be easily offended.
"Young Master, please be careful. This is the only Saint King of the Kyushu Eighteen Sects!"
The white-haired elder warned. "If he personally intervenes, even with the peerless divine weapon, it may not be enough to do anything to him!"
Young Master Tao's brow furrowed, but he said nothing further, his gaze fixed on the elder before him.
"Please, Ancestor, uphold justice for my Chen family!"
Old Man Chen quickly clasped his fists, his eyes filled with joy. With the Ancestor present, he felt fearless.
Ancestor Shen nodded slightly and waved his hand. The people of the Kyushu Eighteen Sects immediately ceased their discussions, their gazes fixed on the members of the Tao family.
