In the Eastern Domain, the theft of the Jade Pool Holy Land's immortal peaches garnered widespread attention, with many Holy Lands demanding that the Assassin Dynasty pay a price.
Among the various Holy Lands, the Jade Pool Holy Land held the highest status, and many Holy Lands offered them flattery.
More importantly, the Jade Pool Holy Land had married off many disciples over the years, most of whom resided in various major Holy Lands. Thus, this matter naturally drew attention.
Within the city, Lu Fan and his companions did not act rashly, but waited for the opportune moment. The Jade Pool Holy Land and the Radiant Light Holy Land were searching for them, and if they were discovered, it would not be a good situation for them.
On a mountain peak, the Grand Elder of the Radiant Light Holy Land met with several Grand Elders of the Jade Pool Holy Land, and they dispatched people to search for clues about Lu Fan and his group.
"Nine Heavens Grand Elder, this child's strength is immense, and he possesses an ultimate divine weapon. You must be cautious if you encounter him!"
Grand Elder Xuan Bei spoke. He was a Saint King expert from the Radiant Light Holy Land, but he harbored apprehension towards Lu Fan.
Even Dao Xuan had died at Lu Fan's hands, which naturally stirred his heart.
"Elder Xuan Bei is a Saint King and carries an ultimate divine weapon; are you still afraid?"
Nine Heavens Profound Maiden smiled and said, "No matter how strong he is, can he defy the heavens!"
"That is indeed true!"
Elder Xuan Bei smiled, feeling somewhat relieved. Just as Nine Heavens Profound Maiden had said, they held peerless divine weapons and were Saint King experts; how could they fear Lu Fan and his group?
Not long after, a man arrived in a hurry: "Grand Elder, Wuji City has suddenly lost its spiritual aura. It is likely that a formation has been set up. Could it be that the Assassin Dynasty people are in Wuji City!"
"Wuji City?"
Nine Heavens Profound Maiden sneered, "It seems destiny has made it easy. Let us go quickly!"
Xuan Bei also nodded solemnly. Now that he had news of Lu Fan, he could not sit idly by and must make Lu Fan pay the price he deserved.
In Wuji City, Lu Fan sat cross-legged, but for some reason, his heart felt a sense of unease, as if something bad was about to happen.
At that very moment, outside Wuji City, the formation fluctuated, as if someone was about to break into Wuji City.
"Could it be that the Radiant Light Holy Land has made their move!"
His expression shifted slightly, and Xu Fei asked, "How did they know we were hiding in Wuji City!"
"It's possible it's not people from the Holy Land!"
Lu Fan muttered, then strode towards the outside of Wuji City.
Outside Wuji City, Young Master Tao stood for a long time, with several elders accompanying him.
"It's Brother Tao!"
Lu Fan quickly cupped his fists, feeling a surge of joy. He had not expected the Young Master of the Tao family to come to Wuji City.
"This place is not suitable for lingering!"
Young Master Tao said, "Follow me!"
"Why is that?"
Lu Fan was somewhat surprised and clearly unwilling to leave.
"Even my Tao family could detect that you were hiding in Wuji City; how could the other major Holy Lands not know!"
Young Master Tao stated directly, "You killed Dao Xuan, and the Radiant Light Holy Land will not let this go. Staying in Wuji City now is extremely dangerous!"
Upon hearing these words, Lu Fan was slightly stunned. What Young Master Tao said was indeed true, but this matter was perhaps not as simple as it seemed.
"Thank you for the reminder, Brother Tao. I will lead my people to leave now!" Lu Fan cupped his fists slightly.
"The Eastern Domain is vast, and your whereabouts have been exposed. If you return to the barrier, you will surely be detected, and at that time, the Assassin Dynasty's lair will be discovered!"
Young Master Tao said, "Now, only by following me back to the Tao family can you preserve your lives!"
"Absolutely not!"
Lu Fan shook his head, "Last time, the Tao family was implicated. How can I allow the Tao family to offend other Holy Lands again!"
"We are sworn brothers!"
Young Master Tao stated directly, "In your heart, have you never considered me a brother!"
Lu Fan was slightly taken aback and felt somewhat conflicted. He knew that Young Master Tao had come today for his own good, but he also knew that if he truly went to the Tao family, it would undoubtedly bring disaster to the Tao family.
"If you are unwilling to go, I will stay with you in Wuji City!"
Young Master Tao said solemnly, "I will advance and retreat with you!"
The elders behind him all cupped their fists and said, "Please reconsider, Young Master. The Radiant Light Holy Land will not give up this time. If the Young Master is here, they may not hesitate to act!"
Young Master Tao remained silent, his gaze fixed on Lu Fan. He needed Lu Fan's decision; if Lu Fan stayed, he would stay.
"Brother Tao, why must you do this!"
His eyes held a hint of helplessness, and Lu Fan looked towards Young Master Tao.
"My mind is made up; no one can change it!"
Young Master Tao's expression was indifferent, carrying a certain aura.
"Alright, then we will go to the Tao family to temporarily avoid the sharp edge!" Lu Fan nodded slightly. He knew Young Master Tao's temperament, and when Young Master Tao spoke like this, there was naturally his reason.
Not long after, within Wuji City, everyone moved out, heading towards the Ancient Tao family.
"Dungeon Master, is this not quite right!"
Gui Ying spoke, "Although the Ancient Tao family is powerful, they may not be able to withstand the might of several Holy Lands!"
"If they truly make a move, I will naturally not stand idly by!"
Lu Fan said solemnly, "Brother Tao personally invited us, so we should go!"
Gui Ying nodded slightly and did not say much more, as he understood some things clearly.
A thousand miles away, Xuan Bei and Nine Heavens Profound Maiden were advancing towards Wuji City when they suddenly received news that Lu Fan and his group had left Wuji City and were heading towards the Ancient Tao family.
"The Ancient Tao family again!"
Xuan Bei's expression was cold. Last time, it was because of the Ancient Tao family that Lu Fan and his group escaped, which ultimately led to Dao Xuan's death. He did not expect that the Ancient Tao family would be involved again this time!
"What about the Ancient Tao family? Do they still intend to harbor them!"
The Jade Pool Saintess spoke, her aura intensifying. At this point, how could they stand by and do nothing.
"The Ancient Tao family is a noble family; dealing with them may not be easy!"
Nine Heavens Profound Maiden shook her head, "If the Ancient Tao family truly intends to make a move, it will be troublesome!"
"What trouble is there!"
At that very moment, a faint voice sounded. Not far away, a figure strode forward, followed by many figures behind him.
"Lin family grand-uncle!"
Xuan Bei's face lit up with joy, "Are you also here for that Haotian!"
"Naturally, with the Assassin Dynasty's Haotian acting in such a manner, how can the Lin family stand by!"
Lin family grand-uncle nodded, "Now that our three major powers have gathered at the Tao family, I would like to see how the Tao family explains themselves!"
With these words, Nine Heavens Profound Maiden also smiled. This was the effect she desired; as long as the Ancient Tao family could be suppressed, other matters would not be of concern.
