After being brought back to the Kyushu Eighteen Sects, Lu Fan’s spiritual energy was also taken away.
Even Xu Fei stood in the main hall, not daring to make a move lightly.
The Shen Family Old Ancestor sat in the main seat, exuding a powerful aura, and his presence was imposing even without anger.
“Xu Fei, do you know your crime!”
The Shen Family Old Ancestor said coldly, “Did you bring him out?”
“Old Ancestor, this was my only option!”
Xu Fei explained, “Taking him out could at least resolve the trouble. Since the Ancient Tao Family insists on having him, why keep him in the Kyushu Eighteen Sects!”
“Presumptuous, how can you speak to the Old Ancestor like this!”
Old Man Han reprimanded, “Since when did you become so self-willed, boy!”
“I have always been this way!”
Xu Fei curled his lips, his expression even more indifferent, unafraid of the elders present.
“Lu kid, today is your and Xian’er’s wedding day!”
Old Man Chen looked at Lu Fan, “You’d better not count on the Tao Family to save you!”
“Young Master Tao has already said that it won’t be long before the Tao Family sends more experts!”
Lu Fan stated directly, “By then, the Kyushu Eighteen Sects might be plunged into misery!”
“You brat, trying to scare us with the Tao Family?”
Old Man Chen chuckled, “Don’t worry about that. We, the Kyushu Eighteen Sects, are not afraid of the Tao Family, and they wouldn’t personally mobilize their patriarch for you!”
“That’s not necessarily true!”
The Shen Family Old Ancestor shook his head, frowning. Lu Fan was no ordinary person; he was an ancient divine body, and with such a powerful physique, he was destined for great things in the future.
As an ancient aristocratic family, how could the Tao Family easily let go of such a peerless prodigy.
“Regardless of whether the Tao Family comes or not, the wedding is set for today, and you will be a member of the Chen Family!”
Chen Xian’er spoke, her gaze fixed on Lu Fan.
“A forced marriage is never sweet. Miss Chen, have you thought this through?” Lu Fan said indifferently.
“You!”
Chen Xian’er’s expression changed. She was stunningly beautiful and could find any man she desired, yet here, in front of Lu Fan, she felt worthless.
“Xian’er, he’s right!”
Old Man Chen spoke, “His heart is not with you. Even if you get his person, you might not get his heart!”
“First, detain the ancient divine body!”
The Shen Family Old Ancestor said coldly, “Since this brat is unwilling to become a son-in-law of the Kyushu Eighteen Sects, let him suffer a bit!”
Old Man Han wanted to plead, but the situation had reached this point, and he found it difficult to speak.
After Lu Fan was escorted away, Xu Fei spoke, “Grandpas, why bother offending an ancient aristocratic family for an irrelevant person? Why not listen to me and let him go!”
“Presumptuous! You’re just a junior, what do you know!”
The Zhao Family Head rebuked, “This matter concerns the reputation of the Kyushu Eighteen Sects, how can it be dropped!”
“Since all grandpas are unwilling to drop this matter, do you have a solution?”
Xu Fei questioned, “The strength of the ancient aristocratic families is not to be underestimated!”
“As descendants of the Kyushu Eighteen Sects, how can we be afraid of death!”
Tu Wenhai said coldly, “If the ancient aristocratic families want to make trouble for us, then let them know that the Kyushu Eighteen Sects are not to be trifled with!”
“According to your words, are you going to compete with the ancient aristocratic families?”
Xu Fei smiled faintly, “When the young master of the Tao Family activated the peerless divine weapon just now, I didn’t see you present!”
“What do you mean by that?”
Tu Wenhai’s expression turned grim, and he stared coldly at Xu Fei, feeling quite displeased.
“Alright, stop arguing!”
Old Man Han spoke, “Today’s matter concerns the Kyushu Eighteen Sects, it’s not for you youngsters to discuss!”
“Indeed!”
Old Man Chen nodded, “You young generation should not get involved!”
“Grandpa, then my wedding today, isn’t it…?” Chen Xian’er frowned.
A wedding is a once-in-a-lifetime event, and one would naturally want it to be perfect, but now things were going against her wishes.
“Xian’er, haven’t you realized yet? That kid has no interest in you!”
Old Man Chen said with a wry smile, “Otherwise, why would he refuse so resolutely!”
Chen Xian’er’s heart turned to ice. She had thought that Lu Fan might have some affection for her, but after Old Man Chen’s words, she instantly felt as if she had fallen into an ice cellar.
After everyone left, Chen Xian’er went to the back mountain alone and sat on the peak, feeling a bit melancholic.
“Xian’er, I knew you’d be here!”
Tu Wenhai strode over, “I told you long ago that outsiders are ultimately unreliable. You should only rely on people from our Kyushu Eighteen Sects!”
“Are you here to mock me?”
Chen Xian’er glanced at him, feeling even more displeased.
“Look at what you’re saying, I’m someone who likes you, how could I mock you!”
Tu Wenhai explained, “As long as you’re willing, I can marry you now and fill the void in your heart!”
“Forget it! I’m not interested in you!”
Chen Xian’er waved her hand, “In the future, it’s best not to mention this matter in front of me!”
After speaking, Chen Xian’er got up and left. If she were really that casual, she wouldn’t be feeling melancholic.
Looking at Chen Xian’er’s retreating figure, Tu Wenhai’s face turned ashen, his expression filled with dissatisfaction.
Meanwhile, in a room, the elders sat cross-legged, their brows furrowed.
“Old Ancestor, we will follow your lead. If the Saint King of the Tao Family comes, how should we respond?”
Old Man Zhao spoke, “We must devise a foolproof plan to stabilize the Kyushu Eighteen Sects!”
“If it truly comes to that, the Kyushu Eighteen Sects are no match for the ancient aristocratic families!”
The Shen Family Old Ancestor stated directly, “The power of the peerless divine weapon is more terrifying than we imagined!”
“Is there no other way?”
Old Man Chen frowned, “In this case, won’t the Kyushu Eighteen Sects be at the mercy of others? Since the establishment of the Kyushu Eighteen Sects, we have never encountered such a situation!”
“In the past, the Kyushu Eighteen Sects were arrogant and did not take the ancient aristocratic families seriously because their core interests were not involved. But now it’s different!” Su Dan Novel Network
Old Man Han stated directly, “If it really comes to that, we can hand over the ancient divine body, and that will bring us peace!”
“No!”
Old Man Zhao shook his head, “If we do that, what will happen to the reputation of the Kyushu Eighteen Sects? Won’t people think in the future that the Kyushu Eighteen Sects fear the Tao Family!”
“We already are afraid!”
Old Man Han shrugged, “If it really comes to a fight, the Kyushu Eighteen Sects are no match for them!”
The elders present fell silent. Their greatest mistake was not having a peerless divine weapon; otherwise, with their strength, how could they not contend with the Holy Land.
Late at night, Lu Fan was imprisoned in a courtyard. The courtyard was guarded by formations, and Lu Fan had no spiritual energy, so he couldn’t take a step out.
However, at this moment, a figure suddenly appeared in the courtyard. He was dressed in black, but Lu Fan recognized him at a glance.
“Why are you here?”
“Of course, to take you away!” Xu Fei said directly.
