Seeing the Hundred-Faced Scholar depart, Lu Fan remained unfazed. In terms of strength, he was above Haotian, and if the Hundred-Faced Scholar sought revenge in the future, he would not fear him.
"Let today's events end here!"
Jian Bei spoke, "From now on, the Hundred-Faced Scholar is no longer a member of Lion Peak. Be cautious if you encounter him in the future!"
After speaking, Jian Bei presented a scroll to Lu Fan. "This is the assassin dynasty's mission scroll, containing all missions from previous years. You must keep it safe!"
"Mission scroll?"
Lu Fan's eyes gleamed. This was the very purpose of his visit. He had gone to great lengths to obtain the mission scroll, never expecting it to be so easily acquired.
Having done all this, Jian Bei left directly, preparing for secluded cultivation.
The events of today had filled him with a sense of unease. The Holy Land's aggressive actions were enough to show that the assassin dynasty's deterrent power was gradually waning. In a few years, the assassin dynasty's situation would likely become even more difficult.
As pillars of the assassin dynasty, they naturally had to share the dynasty's fortunes.
After Jian Bei left, the members of the assassin dynasty knelt down abruptly. "We pay our respects to the Helmsman!"
"We are all brothers, no need for formalities!" Lu Fan waved his hand.
"Helmsman, the actions of the Brilliant Light Holy Land against the assassin dynasty cannot be left unanswered!"
Gui Ying spoke out, his expression grave. If Lu Fan had not possessed a peerless divine weapon today, the entire assassin dynasty might have been annihilated.
"What are your plans then?"
Lu Fan inquired, naturally filled with displeasure regarding the day's events.
"Ambush the Brilliant Light Holy Land and let them know that the assassin dynasty is not to be trifled with!"
Mu Dan stated directly, "Those who dare to offend the assassin dynasty must pay the price!"
"Since that is the case, then we shall proceed as you say!"
Lu Fan nodded slightly, harboring considerable resentment towards the Brilliant Light Holy Land himself.
"I will go and organize the troops immediately!"
Mu Dan nodded solemnly, a hint of joy on his face. He was quite interested in ambushing the Brilliant Light Holy Land.
Returning to the main hall, Lu Fan eagerly opened the mission scroll. After carefully examining it, he found no record of the mission to kill Chen Xian'er.
Lu Fan's brows furrowed, and he felt a sense of bewilderment. Based on his deductions, the assassin dynasty must have been involved, but the facts seemed to suggest otherwise.
After much thought, Lu Fan found Gui Ying. "Does this mission scroll record all the assassination missions of the assassin dynasty?"
"Naturally. This scroll is the core of the dynasty!"
Gui Ying nodded. "Is there a problem?"
"Is it possible that someone carried out a mission but it was not recorded on the scroll?" Lu Fan asked again.
"That shouldn't be the case!"
Gui Ying shook his head. "Without the mission scroll, how would assassins receive their missions?"
"Then why is this happening?"
Lu Fan muttered, his expression somewhat flustered. He had not expected things to turn out this way.
"Helmsman, are you referring to missions throughout the Eastern Region?"
Gui Ying suddenly said, "In the Eastern Region, there is not only the Lion Branch, but also the Eagle Branch. Their mission scrolls are different from ours!"
"The Eagle Branch?"
Lu Fan was slightly startled, instantly realizing that the person who attacked Chen Xian'er might not have been from the Lion Branch. This would explain the discrepancy.
"Where is the Eagle Branch located?"
Lu Fan stated directly, "I would like to meet them!"
"Helmsman, you might not know this, but the Eagle Branch has no contact with the Lion Branch!"
Gui Ying said solemnly, "Although they are both branches of the assassin dynasty, they are like two separate factions. Therefore, we do not know their exact location!"
"You don't know?"
Lu Fan was somewhat surprised, clearly not expecting such a degree of separation between the branches.
"However, it is rumored that one can sense their location through the mission scroll!"
Gui Ying stated directly, "Helmsman, you can try it!"
Lu Fan then picked up the mission scroll and examined it carefully. He discovered that there was indeed a sense of connection on the scroll.
"Since that is the case, I will go to the Eagle Branch myself!"
Lu Fan's expression was serious. If he could not ascertain the cause of Chen Xian'er's death, he would feel a sense of guilt.
"If the Helmsman is going, why don't you take me with you?"
Gui Ying earnestly said, "The Eagle Branch has no contact with the Lion Branch. I fear the Helmsman may be in danger!"
"Have you forgotten?"
Lu Fan smiled faintly. "I possess a peerless divine weapon. Even if I encounter a Saint King, I can still retreat safely!"
Gui Ying trembled slightly, then remembered. Since Lu Fan controlled a peerless divine weapon, how could he be in danger? It seemed he had been overly worried.
"In that case, I will not accompany you!" Gui Ying nodded slightly.
Not long after, Lu Fan left Lion Peak and headed towards the Eagle Branch. With the guidance of the mission scroll, he had no need to worry.
Meanwhile, within Lion Peak, Gui Ying and Mu Dan, leading a group of assassins, were preparing to move out to confront the Brilliant Light Holy Land.
Since the Brilliant Light Holy Land had offended the Lion Branch this time, they would not let it go.
With a hundred Saint Assassins deployed, they would surely make the Brilliant Light Holy Land pay.
Not long after leaving Lion Peak, Lu Fan stood on a mountain peak, seemingly searching for the location of the Eagle Branch.
"Truly, the heavens help those who help themselves!"
Just then, a burst of laughter echoed, causing the surrounding air to tremble.
"Ye Qiu?"
Lu Fan glanced and then sneered, "It has indeed been a long time. I thought you would remain in the Holy City. It seems you have discovered me!"
"Hmph, how could your illusionary techniques fool me!"
Ye Qiu smiled faintly, his expression placid, as if Lu Fan were a lamb to the slaughter in his eyes.
"You don't think that just because you've found me, you can defeat me today, do you?"
Lu Fan shrugged slightly, his gaze filled with meaning as he looked at Ye Qiu.
Concurrently, Ye Qiu laughed heartily, not taking Lu Fan seriously at all. "Now that you are in my grasp, how can you possibly escape?"
"Actually, I have already become a Saint!"
Lu Fan smiled faintly. "If you escape now, you might still have a sliver of hope. But do not gamble with your life!" Sudan Fiction Network
"A Saint?"
Ye Qiu's body trembled, clearly moved. He had not expected Lu Fan to break through so quickly.
"Even if you are a Saint, so what? If I wish to kill you today, who can stop me!" Ye Qiu spoke with a cold tone.
Lu Fan, however, couldn't help but shake his head. He had not intended to fight today, but it seemed unlikely now. Ye Qiu was too arrogant and did not take him seriously.
"I have already warned you. Since you find my words useless, then make your move!"
Lu Fan sneered coldly, not taking it seriously at all.
