At the same moment, the Han Family Head hurried into the courtyard, "Where has Miss gone? Have him come see me!"
A guard nodded slightly and then rushed off to summon him.
Not long after, Han Xiaoxiao arrived at the Han family living room. "Dad, what's so urgent that you needed to see me?"
"Have you heard? The Holy Land has made a move!" the Han Family Head said. "It's all about the Ancient Divine Physique!"
"I've naturally heard!" Han Xiaoxiao nodded. "And I've already knocked him out. He probably won't wake up for another three days."
"Why would you do that?" The Han Family Head's brow furrowed. "Wouldn't he blame you for it? After all, I heard that the Violet Light Holy Land is preparing to move against the Tongtian Academy, and that's definitely not false!"
"I don't care what the outside world thinks, nor do I care what he thinks!"
Han Xiaoxiao shook her head. "I only want him to live. If he went to the Tongtian Academy, it would be a dead end, so I had no choice but to do this!"
"Silly girl, some people's thoughts cannot be contained. If you do this, he might not appreciate it!" The Han Family Head said with a wry smile. "Moreover, if he remains in the Magic City, it would also be a threat to the Han family. If word of this leaks out, the Han family would likely be implicated!"
"Dad, you can't even tolerate him?" Han Xiaoxiao frowned. "If that's the case, I'll take him and leave the Magic City right now, so you don't have to worry!"
"What are you saying? Your dad would never dislike his future son-in-law," the Han Family Head said with a smile. "I'm just reminding you to be extremely careful. This matter must not be easily exposed, or it will cause endless trouble!"
"I know, Dad, don't worry. Very few people know about this!"
Han Xiaoxiao quickly said, "Within the Tongtian Academy, very few people know that he has arrived in the Magic City!"
"That would be for the best!"
The Han Family Head nodded slightly, his gaze becoming serious. He knew very well that some things could be done, and some things could not. Lu Fan's current identity was too sensitive, and if discovered, it would cause endless trouble.
Three days passed quickly. During these three days, many disciples of the Tongtian Academy were transferred. Elder Ye Qiu of the Violet Light Holy Land was aware of this but did not stop them.
The Dean, along with many elders, stood at the academy's entrance, seemingly awaiting judgment. They knew very well that Elder Ye Qiu allowed the disciples to transfer to avoid larger complications.
Many of these disciples had powerful backers. While the Holy Land was overbearing, it was also unwilling to offend numerous forces. Now, with only a few elders remaining, the Violet Light Holy Land would certainly not back down.
"It seems you are prepared for death!"
Elder Ye Qiu narrowed his eyes and asked coldly. As an elder of the Violet Light Holy Land, his status and strength were unquestionable.
"Elder Ye Qiu, we truly do not know where the Ancient Divine Physique has gone." The Dean said with a wry smile. "If Elder Ye Qiu insists on taking action against us, we have nothing to say!"
"Hmph!"
Ye Qiu snorted coldly. "Do you truly think I'm joking with you?"
"If Elder Ye Qiu wishes to act, we will have no complaints!" The Dean's expression was indifferent, with a hint of resolve in his eyes.
"Very well!"
Elder Ye Qiu smiled coldly. "Since that is the case, I will send you on your way and let you know the consequences of offending the Holy Land!"
A surge of spiritual energy flowed from Elder Ye Qiu's hand, appearing turbulent. Even if the elders of the academy attacked together, they would not be able to withstand a single palm strike from him.
Within the Tongtian Academy, the elders slowly closed their eyes. Since they had made their decision, they would not go back on it, and they had no other options.
"The Violet Light Holy Land is truly overbearing, making such a large display for the Ancient Divine Physique!"
A cold voice rang out. From the distant sky, a young man descended, accompanied by dozens of old men. These old men were exceptionally powerful, exuding a terrifying aura.
At the same time, many surrounding forces watched, wondering what was happening. Someone dared to speak to the Violet Light Holy Land in such a manner. Throughout the Eastern Region, the Holy Land held immense authority, and no one dared to act presumptuously.
"It turns out to be the young master of the Desolate Ancient Tao Family?"
Elder Ye Qiu was slightly surprised and then quickly cupped his fists. "May I ask why Young Master Tao has come?"
"I will protect the Tongtian Academy!"
Young Master Tao said coldly. "Today, if anyone dares to lay a hand on the Tongtian Academy, they will be an enemy of my Tao family!"
The Dean of Tongtian trembled, deeply shocked. Although the Tongtian Academy was renowned, it had no connection with the Desolate Ancient Tao family. It was unnecessary for the Tao family to offend the Violet Light Holy Land for the Tongtian Academy.
"Young Master Tao, why is this so?" Elder Ye Qiu frowned. "I am acting on the Holy Lord's orders to come to the Tongtian Academy!"
"The Ancient Divine Physique you seek is my sworn brother. If anyone dares to plot against him, they will be an enemy of my Tao family!"
Tao Maocheng said coldly. "Even the Violet Light Holy Land cannot."
The people present discussed amongst themselves, finding it incredible. To be sworn brothers with the Desolate Ancient Tao family, what immense fortune must that be? They wondered if the Ancient Divine Physique had really struck it rich.
"In that case, the Holy Land cannot touch this Divine Physique?" Elder Ye Qiu frowned.
"No one who my Tao family protects can be touched."
Young Master Tao said coldly, his expression devoid of warmth, as if the Tao family were an irresistible force in the entire Eastern Region.
"Young Master Tao is truly formidable, making me feel inadequate!" Elder Ye Qiu smiled. "But Young Master Tao, do not forget that in the entire Eastern Region, your Tao family is not the only ancient aristocratic family. The Violet Light Holy Land also does not fear the Tao family!"
"Since that is the case, why speak further!" Young Master Tao suddenly sneered. "Why not just fight? What do you say?"
Elder Ye Qiu's face instantly turned ashen. Neither the Violet Light Holy Land nor the Tao family would easily engage in war. Once such ancient sects began fighting, it would lead to widespread destruction. How could he not understand this?
"Young Master Tao is still young, and I naturally will not quibble with you!" Elder Ye Qiu smiled. "Since the Ancient Divine Physique is not in the Tongtian Academy, I have no reason to make things difficult for them. This matter ends here, but the Ancient Divine Physique, my Violet Light Holy Land is determined to obtain!"
"Hmph, that remains to be seen if you have the capability!"
Young Master Tao snorted coldly but said no more. Just as Elder Ye Qiu had said, the strength of the Violet Light Holy Land was not inferior to the Tao family. If they truly went to war, it would likely not be a good outcome. However, being able to protect the Tongtian Academy today was as he had hoped. As for the rest, it could only be left to fate.
