"If they have indeed met their demise, this would undoubtedly be a disaster for us!"
The Supreme Elder of Shenhua stated directly, "Even the Supreme Elders of the Holy Land are treated this way; who will show the Holy Land any respect in the future!"
Others nodded in agreement. If the numerous Supreme Elders truly died under foul play, it would be a significant provocation to the Holy Land, showing utter disregard for them. How could they stand idly by?
"The Assassin Dynasty Haotian deliberately designed a trap for the Supreme Elders of the Holy Land. This is simply unforgivable!"
The Supreme Elder of Shenhua's voice was cold, carrying an overwhelming aura. In his eyes, this must have been Lu Fan's doing; otherwise, how could things have escalated like this?
Facing these words, the others also nodded, their expressions touched. They had never expected things to turn out this way.
"Since we cannot enter the Di Yuan, we can only issue a kill order!"
Elder Bai Yue stated directly, "If we do not find the Assassin Dynasty Haotian and make him pay the price he deserves, how can we rest!"
"Naturally, he must pay the price!" Qing Deng nodded slightly. "It's just that I don't know where he is now. If he truly killed the elders, we will be enemies until death!"
Elder Shenhua said no more, instead gazing towards the Di Yuan with a heavy expression. "I can sense the existence of the Flat Peach Sacred Tree. The peerless divine weapon of Yaochi Holy Land must not be lost!"
With these words, Qing Deng also snapped back to reality. It was only then that he realized that the Xuan Guang Sword of their Xuanguang Holy Land was still within the Di Yuan.
"This is a supreme treasure of the Holy Land. If it is truly suppressed within the Di Yuan, then our various Holy Lands will be without their peerless divine weapons!" Bai Yue frowned. "Everyone must think carefully about this matter!"
Faced with these words, Qing Deng's expression turned grim. Just as Bai Yue had said, the situation was indeed bewildering.
"The peerless divine weapon must not be lost; we must retrieve it!"
With a solemn look in his eyes, Elder Shenhua stated directly, "Do any of you have a better plan?"
"It's not impossible to retrieve the peerless divine weapon, but with our capabilities, it is likely limited. We can only report this matter to the Holy Lord!" Qing Deng stated directly. "I will lead people back immediately!"
Facing these words, everyone nodded, not daring to delay in the slightest.
Not long after, within Yaochi Holy Land, the Holy Lord of Yaochi began performing rituals to summon back the Flat Peach Sacred Tree. With the Nine Heavens Profound Lady and others likely meeting their demise, they could not afford to lose their peerless divine weapon, as it would undoubtedly be a great disaster for the entire Holy Land.
Xuanguang Holy Land was no different, not daring to slacken in the slightest, their expressions filled with disarray. They understood clearly that if the Holy Land's peerless divine weapon was gone, it would be a devastating blow to the Holy Land; there could be no room for error.
Meanwhile, within the Di Yuan, there was no sign of life. The area was filled with miasma and an aura of death, instilling a sense of dread in one's heart.
However, just then, within the Di Yuan, two magical artifacts suddenly shot into the sky, flying off in their respective directions. Upon closer observation, everyone realized that these two artifacts were the peerless divine weapons of the Holy Lands.
Seeing the peerless divine weapons return, both Holy Lands expressed their joy. This was the key to the Holy Land's inheritance. Any mishap would have a profound impact on the Holy Land's foundation, which was why they dared not be careless.
In the Holy City, Lu Fan entered a tavern and said to the waiter, "Bring me a few plates of roasted chicken legs!"
The waiter hurried to attend to them. However, upon seeing Lu Fan enter with a madman, he quickly said, "Young man, we cannot have people brought in here casually, especially those who are disheveled. How can we do business like this!"
"This might not be very good, will it!" Lu Fan shrugged slightly. "I'll pay."
After speaking, Lu Fan produced a spirit stone, appearing quite generous. Seeing the spirit stone on the table, the waiter said no more, though he still felt some aversion towards the old madman.
The appearance of Lu Fan and his companions drew the attention of many, who cast curious glances their way, especially at the old madman.
"If I'm not mistaken, those people from Yaochi Holy Land are probably all dead!" Ghost Shadow remarked. "The miasma in the Di Yuan is no ordinary gas. Moreover, so many people entering the Di Yuan must have alerted its mechanisms, so there's no way they could have escaped!"
"I didn't expect you to know so much about the Di Yuan!"
Lu Fan shrugged. "As expected of someone from the Assassin Dynasty; even I am not your equal!"
"You flatter me, Sect Leader. I merely know a little; how could I be compared to you!" Ghost Shadow chuckled awkwardly.
"However, we have to thank Brother Mad this time. If he hadn't intervened, we would have been trapped there too, and our lives would have been in danger!" Lu Fan looked at the old madman, a faint smile appearing on his face.
"Sect Leader, who do you think he is from the Assassin Dynasty's headquarters?" Ghost Shadow asked. "He doesn't seem simple. Although he acts mad, his strength is incredibly formidable!"
"I don't know the specifics, but one thing is certain: he doesn't fear the people of the Holy Land. He could injure a Supreme Elder with a mere gesture. Such strength might not even be possessed by Jian Beitian," Lu Fan stated directly.
"Then, according to your meaning, Sect Leader, isn't this Brother Mad a Great Sage?"
With a hint of panic in his eyes, Ghost Shadow quickly asked, even with a touch of disbelief.
Above Saints were Saint Kings, and above Saint Kings were Great Sages. This was an undeniable fact.
If the old madman before them was truly a Great Sage, it would be a significant development for them. After all, it had been many years since the Eastern Region had seen a Great Sage. If a Great Sage truly existed, they would undoubtedly be able to command the heavens and earth and dominate the entire Eastern Region.
"Why haven't the chicken legs arrived yet!"
The old madman grumbled, looking towards Lu Fan. "I followed your instructions and beat them all down. You're not going to trick me, are you?"
"Don't worry, Big Brother, how could I trick you! The chicken legs will be here soon!"
Lu Fan quickly replied, a smile on his face. His gaze was remarkably calm, as if none of this mattered in his eyes.
Not long after, the chicken legs were served. Looking at the fragrant chicken legs, the old madman did not hesitate and began to eat them, devouring them with gusto, without any sense of awkwardness.
