In the Eastern Region, the theft of the Peaches of Immortality from the Jade Pool Holy Land garnered widespread attention, with many Holy Lands demanding that the Assassin Dynasty pay a price.
Among the many Holy Lands, the Jade Pool Holy Land held the highest status, and many Holy Lands offered it flattery.
More importantly, the Jade Pool Holy Land had married off many disciples over the years, most of whom resided in major Holy Lands, thus making this matter naturally attention-grabbing.
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 being discovered by patrols would certainly not be a good thing for them.
Upon 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 thoroughly search for clues regarding Lu Fan and his group.
"Nine Heavens Grand Elder, this child is extremely powerful and possesses an unparalleled divine weapon. You must be careful if you encounter him!"
Elder Xuan Bei spoke. He was a Saint King powerhouse from the Radiant Light Holy Land, yet he harbored apprehension towards Lu Fan.
Even Dao Xuan had died at Lu Fan's hands, which stirred his heart.
"Elder Xuan Bei is a Saint King and carries an unparalleled divine weapon. Are you still afraid?"
Nine Heavens Mysterious Woman smiled, "No matter how strong he is, can he defy the heavens?"
"That is true!"
Elder Xuan Bei smiled, feeling somewhat more at ease. Just as Nine Heavens Mysterious Woman had said, they possessed peerless divine weapons and were Saint King powerhouses; how could they fear Lu Fan and the others?
Not long after, a man arrived in haste: "Grand Elder, Wuji City has suddenly lost its aura. It is likely that a formation has been set up. Could the people of the Assassin Dynasty be in Wuji City!"
"Wuji City?"
Nine Heavens Mysterious Woman sneered, "It seems fortune favors us. Let us depart quickly!"
Xuan Bei also nodded solemnly. With news of Lu Fan in hand, he naturally could not sit idly by and must make Lu Fan pay the appropriate price.
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.
Just then, outside Wuji City, the formation pulsed, as if someone was attempting to break into Wuji City.
"Could it be that the people from the Radiant Light Holy Land have already made their move!"
His expression shifted slightly, and Xu Fei spoke, "How did they know we were hiding in Wuji City!"
"It's possible it's not people from the Holy Lands!"
Lu Fan muttered, and then his gaze turned towards the outside of Wuji City.
Outside Wuji City, Young Master Tao stood for a long time, accompanied by several elders.
"It's Brother Tao!"
Lu Fan quickly cupped his fists, feeling a surge of joy in his heart. 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 spoke, "Follow me!"
"Why is that?"
Lu Fan was somewhat surprised, clearly unwilling to leave.
"Even my Tao family could discover that you are 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 exceptionally dangerous!"
Upon hearing these words, Lu Fan was slightly stunned. What Young Master Tao said was indeed correct, but this matter was likely not as simple as it seemed.
"Thank you for the reminder, Brother Tao. I will lead my people away now!" Lu Fan cupped his fists slightly.
"The Eastern Region is vast. Your whereabouts have been exposed. If you return to the barrier, you will be detected, and at that time, the Assassin Dynasty's base will be discovered!"
Young Master Tao stated directly, "Only by returning to my Tao family with me can you preserve your lives!"
"Absolutely not!"
Lu Fan shook his head, "Last time, we implicated the Tao family. How can I allow the Tao family to offend other Holy Lands again this time!"
"We are sworn brothers!"
Young Master Tao stated directly, "In your heart, have you never considered me a brother!"
Lu Fan was slightly stunned and found himself in a difficult position. 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 remain in Wuji City with you!"
Young Master Tao spoke with utmost sincerity, "We will advance and retreat together!"
The elders behind him cupped their fists and said, "Please, Young Master, reconsider. The Radiant Light Holy Land will definitely not back down this time. If the Young Master is here, they might 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 as Lu Fan looked towards Young Master Tao.
"My mind is made up, and no one can change it!"
Young Master Tao's expression was indifferent, carrying a certain aura.
"Very well, then we will first seek refuge at the Tao family to avoid the immediate danger!" Lu Fan nodded slightly. He knew Young Master Tao's temperament, and his words carried his own reasoning.
Not long after, within Wuji City, everyone moved out and headed towards the Ancient Tao Family.
"Section Leader, is this not very wise!"
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 by idly!"
Lu Fan said solemnly, "Brother Tao personally invited us, so we should go!"
Gui Ying nodded slightly, finding it difficult to say more. Some things he saw clearly.
A thousand miles away, Xuan Bei and Nine Heavens Mysterious Woman were heading towards Wuji City when they suddenly received news that Lu Fan and his group had already 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, leading to Dao Xuan's death. He had not expected the Ancient Tao Family to be involved again this time!
"What about the Ancient Tao Family? Do they still intend to harbor them!"
Jade Pool Saintess spoke, her demeanor carrying a certain aura. At this juncture, how could they stand idly by.
"The Ancient Tao Family is an aristocratic family. Dealing with them will likely not be easy!"
Nine Heavens Mysterious Woman shook her head, "If the Ancient Tao Family truly intends to intervene, it will be troublesome!"
"What is troublesome about it!"
Just then, a indifferent voice sounded. A figure approached from not far away, followed by a crowd of figures.
"Uncle Ancestor Lin!"
Xuan Bei's face lit up with joy, "Are you perhaps here for that Hao Tian as well?"
"Naturally. With the Assassin Dynasty's Hao Tian acting in this manner, how can the Lin family stand idly by!"
Uncle Ancestor Lin nodded, "Now that our three major powers are gathered at the Tao family, I would like to see how the Tao family explains themselves!"
With these words, Nine Heavens Mysterious Woman also smiled. This was the effect she desired. As long as the Ancient Tao Family could be suppressed, other matters would be of no consequence.
