"Catch him, don't let him escape!"
The Holy Maiden of Yaochi's expression was cold: "He is the one who stole the Peaches of Immortality!"
Following these words, the elders of the Yaochi Holy Land all made their moves, intending to forcibly suppress Lu Fan.
At the same time, Dao Xuan looked at Lu Fan and felt a surge of joy in his heart: "It's truly a case of searching high and low without success, only to find it effortlessly. I never expected this kid to dare to come to the Yaochi Grand Gathering!"
Dao Xuan was overjoyed. For the past three years, he had been searching for Lu Fan but found no trace. Now that Lu Fan had appeared, he would certainly not let him go easily.
However, this was the Yaochi Holy Land, so he naturally would not intervene rashly.
He had not brought the peerless divine weapon of the Profound Light Saint with him, and it would be extremely unwise to make a move without it.
"Holy Maiden of Yaochi, why are you so heartless now when you were so joyful with me in the forest!" Lu Fan chuckled, "Are you perhaps afraid I'll expose you?"
The crowd present was stunned. Especially many of the younger generation, who were in disbelief. If Lu Fan's words were true, wouldn't the Holy Maiden of Yaochi be considered impure?
Thinking of this, everyone was even more surprised. The Holy Maiden of Yaochi was the goddess in their hearts. If things were truly as Lu Fan claimed, how could they bear it?
"You are talking utter nonsense! When was I joyful with you!"
The Holy Maiden of Yaochi's face turned ashen. She had always been arrogant and never placed others in her eyes, being the goddess in everyone's hearts. Now, after Lu Fan's words, how could she face them in the future?
"I thought you would have feelings for me. It seems I was overly sentimental!"
Lu Fan shook his head helplessly, as if all of this were true.
The Holy Maiden of Yaochi was so furious her face turned purple. She stomped towards Lu Fan. Nothing else mattered now; the most effective way was to make Lu Fan pay the price.
Sensing the sharp energy, Lu Fan rapidly retreated. He had not expected the Holy Maiden of Yaochi to be so fierce.
At the same time, many young people present stood up, wanting to capture Lu Fan together. How could they tolerate someone who defiled the goddess in their hearts?
Xu Fei and the Zhao family stood firm, frowning simultaneously. Lu Fan's words were like a bomb, igniting the entire scene. This would likely lead to great trouble.
"This person is the assassin from the Hao Tian Dynasty. Everyone, be careful!" Dao Xuan's voice rang out, carrying a significant undertone.
"Hao Tian?" The Holy Maiden of Yaochi was slightly surprised. Hao Tian's name had been very famous three years ago, and she had certainly heard of him, but she had not expected the person before her to be him.
"Old man, I have never forgotten the hatred from that year!" Lu Fan sneered, "When I have the time, I will surely send you to a place where you will have no burial ground!"
"Hmph, you can barely protect yourself now. Worry about yourself first!" Dao Xuan smiled faintly, completely unfazed. He didn't even take Lu Fan seriously, as in his heart, Lu Fan was someone he had to kill.
Within the Yaochi Holy Land, the elders stepped forward, intending to intercept Lu Fan, their powerful auras radiating. This was a holy land, and if Lu Fan escaped, they would surely be held accountable.
"With just you lot, you can't keep me!" Lu Fan sneered, a powerful aura surging around him. In the blink of an eye, he sent dozens of elders flying.
Seeing this scene, many people let out gasps of astonishment, finding it hard to believe that Lu Fan's strength could be so formidable.
The Holy Maiden of Yaochi's face turned ashen. If it weren't for the formation suppressing him, Lu Fan might truly have escaped. In that case, where would the prestige of their Yaochi Holy Land lie?
"I implore all the seniors present to make a move!" The Holy Maiden of Yaochi clasped her fists and said, "The strong practitioners of our Holy Land will arrive shortly!"
"I'd like to see who dares to make a move!" Lu Fan held the Divine Emperor Cauldron, his aura emanating terrifyingly. He was well aware that if he didn't leave the Holy Land promptly, it would cause immense trouble.
The elders present, seeing this, instantly became flustered. They had originally intended to stop Lu Fan, but upon seeing the peerless divine weapon, they immediately fell silent. Even Dao Xuan froze, not daring to act rashly. Three years ago, Lu Fan, wielding a peerless divine weapon, could have taken his life. Now, he was likely even more powerful. If he made a rash move, it would be detrimental to himself.
At the same time, Lu Fan activated the peerless divine weapon, instantly opening the barrier of the Yaochi Grand Gathering and stepping out towards the outside of the Holy Land. As long as he left the Yaochi Holy Land, the Yaochi Holy Land naturally couldn't do much to him.
Seeing Lu Fan leave, no one in the Yaochi Holy Land dared to stop him. With a peerless divine weapon in hand, even a Saint King might hesitate to block him.
Seeing Lu Fan leave so easily, Xu Fei and the others finally relaxed. They had thought Lu Fan was in trouble, but this turned out to be the best outcome.
The Holy Maiden of Yaochi stood aside, her eyes filled with a cold glint. Lu Fan had come and gone as he pleased, showing no regard for the Yaochi Holy Land. She was furious. However, Lu Fan wielded a peerless divine weapon, which was beyond her control.
"Holy Maiden of Yaochi, this person dared to act so outrageously. We absolutely cannot let him off easily!" Dao Xuan's voice rang out, his gaze solemn.
"Senior Dao Xuan, I naturally know what you mean!" The Holy Maiden of Yaochi frowned. "However, Senior Dao Xuan did not make a move just now, yet you tell me not to let him off easily. It seems a bit unreasonable, wouldn't you say!"
Dao Xuan was taken aback for a moment, instantly understanding the Holy Maiden of Yaochi's meaning. It seemed she was blaming him for not intervening earlier.
"Senior Dao Xuan, please don't take it to heart!" The Holy Maiden of Yaochi chuckled, "I was just speaking casually!"
"It's nothing, nothing!" Dao Xuan smiled faintly, not taking it too seriously. After all, this was the Yaochi Holy Land, and he did not wish to clash with its inhabitants.
As they were conversing, a terrifying aura swept through the entire venue, drawing the attention of many. In the sky, a giant tree could be faintly seen, appearing to blot out the sun and moon, astonishing many.
"Is this the peerless divine weapon of the Yaochi Holy Land, the Peaches of Immortality Sacred Tree?" Xu Fei exclaimed, "I really didn't expect it to be like this!"
"It should be correct!" Sister Zhao nodded slightly. They could feel the power of this sacred tree and dared not underestimate it.
"Where is that person?" The voice of the Nine Heavens Profound Maiden rang out, her gaze shifting towards the Holy Maiden of Yaochi.
"He escaped!" The Holy Maiden of Yaochi's face was embarrassed. Letting Lu Fan slip away under their noses was somewhat humiliating.
"How dare he cause trouble in the Yaochi Holy Land! All you Grand Elders, follow me to capture him!" The voice of the Nine Heavens Profound Maiden rang out. Riding the Peaches of Immortality Sacred Tree, she sped off in pursuit of Lu Fan.
The Peaches of Immortality Grand Gathering, which should have been peaceful, was thrown into chaos by Lu Fan. How could the Yaochi Holy Land let Lu Fan off easily?
Seeing the Nine Heavens Profound Maiden leading the strong practitioners in pursuit, others in the Yaochi Holy Land also stirred, eager to witness the event.
