“Did my father send you?”
The young master of the Tao family frowned. This containment technique was only known to the family head and was specifically used against members of the Tao family. He hadn’t expected this Supreme Elder to know the secret method.
“If the family head hadn’t sent us here, would we have come?”
The white-haired elder spoke directly, “This matter is of grave importance. Once the Sacred Lands unleash their heritage, there will be no turning back. Therefore, the family head sent me to bring the young master back, hoping he can understand the family head’s good intentions!”
“Brother Tao, since things have come to this, you should return!”
Lu Fan cupped his fists and said, “I will remember your kindness today for the rest of my life. If I survive, no matter what difficulties the Tao family faces in the future, I will spare no effort to help!”
“Brother Lu, please don’t say such things; they make me feel extremely ashamed!” Young Master Tao said with a wry smile, “I should have been fighting alongside you against the many Sacred Lands, but instead, I’ve been restrained by my family!”
“This is not your destiny, nor is it something you should bear!” Lu Fan shook his head.
At the same time, the white-haired elder also cupped his fists towards Lu Fan, “Our family head has said that the situation is irreversible, and we hope that Leader Lu will not blame us. After all, the young master carries the family’s hope, and he absolutely cannot suffer any harm here!”
“Please thank the Tao family head for me. This matter is, after all, the affair of my Assassin Dynasty!” Lu Fan cupped his fists slightly, his expression becoming even more solemn.
The Supreme Elder of the Tao family said no more and turned to leave with the young master of the Tao family, not daring to delay in the slightest. The two great Sacred Lands were already preparing to unleash their heritage. Once unleashed, the Assassin Dynasty would be annihilated, and the young master of the Tao family, being here, would merely be another corpse.
Watching the young master of the Tao family and the others leave, Lu Fan let out a long sigh of relief. He did not wish for the young master of the Tao family to be here, as this matter had nothing to do with the Tao family.
“Since things have come to this, it seems we can only fight to the death, burning all our bridges!”
Jian Beitian said directly, “Everyone, rest well. The great battle is likely imminent!”
Lu Fan nodded slightly, not overly concerned about the matter. At this point, it was likely destiny.
“Who is he?”
Just then, Jian Beitian suddenly looked towards the old madman, his heart filled with great doubt. He didn’t know why the appearance of the old madman made him feel a sense of apprehension.
“Senior, don’t you recognize this person?”
Lu Fan was somewhat curious, “This shouldn’t be the case! Those who appear in the Abyss should be from the Assassin Dynasty, right? Could it be that Brother Madman is not from the Assassin Dynasty?”
“I’ve never seen him in the Assassin Dynasty, and judging by his cultivation, he doesn’t seem to be beneath me. How could he be so formidable!”
Jian Beitian was shocked. He hadn’t paid much attention at first, but now, looking at him, he was filled with admiration, catching him off guard.
“If he’s not from the Assassin Dynasty, how could he be in the Abyss?” Lu Fan asked again with a look of confusion.
“It’s possible he’s a master from another sect who broke into the Abyss and became trapped within,” Jian Beitian said, shaking his head. “It’s a pity he’s already out of his mind. Otherwise, he might have been able to help the Assassin Dynasty. Judging by the aura he emits, he’s likely at the Half-step Great Sage level!”
“Half-step Great Sage?”
Lu Fan was somewhat shocked. He hadn’t expected that someone he casually saved in the Abyss was a Half-step Great Sage level expert. If that were truly the case, he had struck a great bargain.
“Don’t celebrate too early. Even if he is a Half-step Great Sage, with his current mental state, he won’t be able to exert his strength to its fullest. Moreover, he’s acting like a madman now, completely useless,” Jian Beitian shook his head. Su Dan Novel Network.
“The Sacred Lands have already unleashed their heritage. I never expected anything from Brother Madman,” Lu Fan said with a bitter smile, feeling helpless.
Meanwhile, numerous immortal cultivation sects in the Eastern Region were gathering heavenly and earthly power, repairing their mountain protection formations in front of their gates. They were well aware that a great battle was approaching in the near future, a battle that would undoubtedly be earth-shattering.
The Sacred Lands calling upon their heritage meant they were facing a crisis of survival, otherwise, they would not be so resolute. At this point, it was likely that this world-shattering battle was imminent.
Within the Ancient Desolate Tao Family, the young master of the Tao family was bound and brought into the main hall of the Tao family. He looked quite displeased, and in the main hall of the Tao family, more than ten figures stood, all of whom were experts at the Saint King level, each radiating immense power.
Under normal circumstances, the many Saint Kings of the Ancient Desolate Tao Family would not gather here. Today was quite special.
“Young master, the two great Sacred Lands are preparing to unleash their heritage. It was our无奈之举 to bring you back!”
The many Saint Kings spoke, their gazes falling upon the young master of the Tao family, “You are the future hope of the entire Tao family, and no mishap can occur. Furthermore, this unparalleled great battle will surely plunge the Eastern Region into chaos. The Ancient Desolate Tao Family will also do its utmost to repair the formations to avoid the ravages of the war!”
“It’s just a battle, why do all you Supreme Elders need to be so vigilant!” The young master of the Tao family frowned, “Since I have returned to the Tao family, I will naturally not conflict with the Sacred Lands!”
“Young master, you are unaware, but the Assassin Dynasty has Jian Beitian and two supreme divine weapons. The Sacred Lands are also unleashing their heritage. Once these two forces clash, the entire Eastern Region will be affected!”
A white-haired elder said directly, “At that time, there will likely be widespread suffering. Many external forces have arrived outside the Tao family, seeking the Tao family’s protection and pleading to join the Tao family!”
“Why bother with these fair-weather friends!”
The young master of the Tao family said indifferently, “It’s a pity I cannot fight alongside Brother Lu, which goes against our oath!”
Facing these words, the Tao family members fell silent. They knew that the young master of the Tao family valued his relationships, but it was a critical moment, and they had no choice but to act this way.
“Esteemed Supreme Elders, activate the Tao family’s formations. The disciples of the Tao family are not allowed to leave the Tao family at will; seal the mountain gates directly!” The family head of the Tao family said, “This matter is of great importance and is no longer a trivial skirmish. If we are affected, it is likely to trigger the family’s heritage power. If that happens, it will undoubtedly have a significant impact on all the ancient aristocratic families.”
Once the heritage power is awakened, it cannot be stopped. If all the Sacred Lands’ heritage is awakened, their future reliance will disappear, which is the most terrifying thing.
“We will swear to defend the Tao family to the death!” The Supreme Elders cupped their fists one after another, their expressions becoming indifferent.
Following these words, the others also nodded, not daring to be the slightest bit negligent.
With the great battle imminent, they naturally had to be united in purpose to protect the family and prevent interference from the many other forces.
