Upon arriving at the desolate ancient Tao family, the young master of the Tao family allowed Lu Fan and his companions to enter the Tao family's forbidden grounds.
"This is the safest place. Hide yourselves within these forbidden grounds, and the Xuan Guang Holy Land and others will naturally not dare to intrude!" the young master of the Tao family reminded them.
"But this is the Tao family's forbidden ground!"
Lu Fan trembled, "How can the family's forbidden ground be entered by outsiders!"
"When the situation is urgent, we must adapt. This is the best solution!"
The young master of the Tao family stated directly, his expression solemn, not daring to show any hesitation.
"Great kindness needs no thanks. Once the Assassin Dynasty is on the right track, we will surely repay the Tao family's kindness!"
Lu Fan cupped his fists slightly, his eyes touched. The young master of the Tao family helping him in such a manner deeply moved him.
After leaving the forbidden grounds, the young master of the Tao family returned to the main hall. Within the hall, many grand-uncles of the Tao family had been waiting for a long time.
"Young Master, we have nothing to say about you bringing them into the Holy Land, but allowing them into the family's sacred grounds is a major matter!"
A grand-uncle of the Tao family spoke, his gaze fixed on the young master of the Tao family, his expression clearly moved.
"I know that, of course!"
The young master of the Tao family nodded, "But things have come to this point, and we can only act this way!"
"Offending the three major powers for the sake of people from the Assassin Dynasty is not a good thing for the Tao family!"
The grand-uncle of the Tao family spoke again, his expression serious. This matter was of great importance, and he could not stand idly by.
"Grand-uncle, if I remember correctly, within the Tao family, my lineage is the backbone, capable of deciding any matter for the family!"
The young master of the Tao family stated directly, "What I have decided should not be questioned by Grand-uncle!"
"While that is true, do not forget that we are also disciples of the Tao family, and I am your grand-uncle!"
The grand-uncle of the Tao family said coldly, "This matter is of great importance, and you must consider it carefully!"
"I have already considered it very carefully!"
The young master of the Tao family's expression was indifferent, "Grand-uncle need not say more. Just do as I say!"
The grand-uncle of the Tao family was infuriated but had no recourse. The young master of the Tao family held a respected position within the Tao family, and he could not easily shake it.
Just then, a large number of experts arrived outside the Tao family's gates, all of them from the three major powers.
Seeing this, the young master of the Tao family led the Tao family's experts to the Tao family's gates, "Why have you all come here?" Su Dan Novel Network.
"Young Master of the Tao family, I hope you are well!"
The grand-uncle of the Lin family cupped his fists slightly, a coldness in his eyes, "Three years ago, you wanted to protect Hao Tian of the Assassin Dynasty, and neither of our two Holy Lands bothered with you. However, this time, you owe us, the major powers, an explanation."
"Why should the desolate ancient Tao family explain itself to others?" the young master of the Tao family said coldly, "What is the reason for your visit to my desolate ancient Tao family today?"
"Young Master of the Tao family, please don't play dumb. Don't think we don't know that Hao Tian of the Assassin Dynasty is in the desolate ancient Tao family," Xuan Bei stated directly, "If you do not hand him over, we will never let this matter rest."
"So you already received the news that Hao Tian is in my desolate ancient Tao family?"
The young master of the Tao family burst into laughter, "Why don't even I know? Where did you get this information? Could it be that someone deliberately wants to deal with the Tao family and fabricated this lie?"
"We have long heard that the young master of the Tao family is extraordinary, possessing considerable foundation among the younger generation. It seems this is indeed the case,"
The Saintess of Yaochi smiled, "If you want to protect him, it is equivalent to offending the three major powers. Although your desolate ancient Tao family is powerful, you should know that being enemies with other Holy Lands is not a good thing for the desolate ancient Tao family."
"If I'm not mistaken, you are the Saintess of Yaochi!"
The young master of the Tao family's expression was indifferent, "This is a matter for my Tao family, and it has nothing to do with you. Furthermore, that Hao Tian of the Assassin Dynasty is not in my desolate ancient Tao family. Your actions now are highly inappropriate."
"What a joke! If he is not in the desolate ancient Tao family, then where is he?" Jiutian Xuannü said coldly, "Unless the young master of the Tao family intends to be our enemy and refuse to hand over that person from the Tao family!"
"Whether it is or not, what does it matter?"
With a cold look in his eyes, the young master of the Tao family spoke directly, without any reservation, for in his heart, some things were permissible, and some were not.
"It seems the young master of the Tao family truly intends to be our enemy!"
Jiutian Xuannü narrowed her eyes, her gaze fixed on the young master of the Tao family.
"It is not that I intend to be your enemy, but that you intend to make things difficult for me," the young master of the Tao family shrugged, "As I said earlier, there is no one from the Assassin Dynasty in the Tao family. What can I do if you don't believe me?"
"Since the young master of the Tao family is so certain, do you dare to let us search?"
With a faint smile, Xuan Bei asked directly.
The grand-uncle of the Lin family also nodded slightly. They were certain that the person from the Assassin Dynasty was in the Tao family. As long as they could enter the desolate ancient Tao family, this matter would naturally be easily resolved.
"Search? What if you don't find anyone?"
The young master of the Tao family sneered, "How will you explain to me then?"
"If we cannot find the person, the three major powers will never set foot in the Tao family again, and I am willing to apologize publicly!"
The grand-uncle of the Lin family smiled, "However, if we do find him, I hope the desolate ancient Tao family will not interfere. We must hunt down the people of the Assassin Dynasty and cannot stand idly by."
The young master of the Tao family pondered for a moment before nodding slightly, "Since that is the case, then you may search. If you can find him, then it's fine. If you cannot, I hope you will give my Tao family an explanation!"
"Young Master!"
Several elders of the Tao family frowned, clearly not expecting the young master of the Tao family to speak in such a manner. If Lu Fan and the others were indeed found, what would they do then?
"No need to say more, I naturally have it all under control!"
The young master of the Tao family waved his hand, his gaze even more indifferent, as if in his eyes, all of this was under control.
Faced with these words, the others frowned and dared not say more. This was the command of the young master of the Tao family, and they naturally did not dare to disobey.
"Since the young master of the Tao family has spoken, we will naturally not disappoint him!"
The grand-uncle of the Lin family smiled slightly and then led the group into the Tao family, exuding a powerful aura.
At the same time, the people of the Tao family instantly became vigilant. It was ultimately inappropriate for these people to suddenly intrude into the Tao family, but as things stood, they could not say much and could only wait and see.
Upon entering the desolate ancient Tao family, the Lin family and others began to search for Lu Fan's whereabouts. They did not believe that Lu Fan was not in the desolate ancient Tao family; the news could not be wrong.
However, after searching all around, they did not find any trace of anyone, which made them frown instantly, their expressions somewhat flustered, and even exceeding their expectations, not as they had imagined.
