"Hello?"
While Xu Fan quickly rushed off the plane, he answered the call and placed the phone to his ear.
"You brat! Are you trying to rebel? Why did you hang up on three tis in a row?"
The furious voice of the old man ca roaring through the phone, and upon hearing his voice, Xu Fan finally let out a sigh of relief.
Just now, when Xu Fan saw Li Nantian's na, he thought a Taoist sect powerhouse had kidnapped the old man to negotiate with him. Now, hearing his voice brought a sense of relief mixed with a hint of fear.
If the Taoist sect acted first, even the old man would be seized, then Xia Xiaodie and the others in Jinling would stand no chance!
He must rush back to Jinling imdiately!
However, Xu Fan didn't hastily board the plane again; the old man rarely contacted him, and for a while, Xu Fan even suspected the old man had forgotten about him...
Yet every ti the old man contacted him, it ant sothing significant had happened!
What major event could make him so anxious?
Xu Fan didn't hurriedly ask; instead, he lazily spoke, "Old guy! Why are you calling if there's nothing wrong? Don't you know I'm very busy?"
This was the unique way Xu Fan communicated with the old man. Xu Fan could sense from his tone that he was quite anxious, and Xu Fan deliberately used this tone to let him know he was safe.
Sure enough, upon hearing Xu Fan's lazy voice, though he cursed Xu Fan a few tis for being disrespectful, his tone finally cald down.
The incident from yesterday had indeed frightened him.
Although the old man had always known that Xu Fan was far from an obedient child, extrely prone to trouble, he never imagined that Xu Fan would dare to offend a Supre Elder of the Taoist sect and slap a Taoist Lord's face right in front of the Supre Elder!
The mont he heard this news, the old man felt as if he was struck by lightning, with thunder rumbling, leaving his mind blank and all sounds inaudible.
What kind of existence was the Taoist sect? What kind of existence was the Supre Elder? Even the senior mbers of the Six Gods wouldn't dare offend them!
A Supre Elder could crush countless ants just with a slight move of a finger! They are not benevolent!
And when the old man also heard from others that Xu Fan, in front of the Supre Elder, declared that he would one day ascend the Taoist sect's mountain and level it, he was on the verge of collapse.
His disciple was exceptionally talented with boundless potential, yet his ability to cause trouble was even greater!
With just one sentence, he offended the entire Taoist sect. Although a Zen Master of the Buddhist Sect happened to pass by and saved Xu Fan's life, how could Xu Fan protect himself from the Taoist sect's wrath and pursuit?
There's only one solution: join the Six Gods!
The old man used all his influence to communicate with the Six Gods senior mbers, saying whatever he could and spending enormous resources, finally getting them to agree to give Xu Fan a chance. Now, he was frantically calling Xu Fan, and although Xu Fan's lazy tone indicated he was safe, was he unaware of the seriousness of the trouble he caused?
Taking a deep breath, the old man tried to make his dear disciple realize the severity of the trouble he had caused.
"You brat, I rember telling you about the three supre forces in Huaxia, transcendent in the world, and among them, the Taoist sect is the most domineering and unyielding, absolutely not to be provoked!"
"Do you... rember any of this?"
As soon as the old man spoke, Xu Fan actually understood his aning. Although Xu Fan was anxious to return to Jinling, he was in no mood to explain to the old man why he targeted the Taoist sect, why he took those actions, or why he said those words.
Thus, Xu Fan simply replied, "Forgot."
"Forgot?"
The old man was stunned and almost fainted from anger.
"Do you know what a huge trouble you're in? Can you afford to provoke the Taoist sect? Just this morning, the Taoist sect issued a Kill Order! The only na on it is yours, brat!"
"What's more, the Heavenly List, Earth List, and Assassin List have all been updated and you're number one on each! Don't be proud; do you know what this ans? It ans you're definitely dead!"
"Not only do the Taoist sect want you dead! Those who want to curry favor with the Taoist sect want you dead! Those who want to take your rank want you dead! Assassins want you dead!"
"In the cultivation world of Huaxia, with half of them wanting you dead, you still don't know what's happened? You have an hour to get yourself to Yanjing!"
The old man's words were like a TV broadcast, elaborating on Xu Fan's current situation in one breath. Although his tone was extrely stern, he conveyed a ssage.
Get to Yanjing, and your master can protect you!
Xu Fan grew up watched over by this old man, how could he not understand the aning behind his words? Yet he still refused his kind offer decisively.
"Old guy, I think you want there to keep you company? I've already booked my ticket; let stay in Jinling for a few days first then I'll visit you."
The old man was in Yanjing and a key mber of the Six Gods, with a low chance of being retaliated against by the Taoist sect. Even if the Taoist sect experts arrived, the Six Gods could safeguard him. But Xia Xiaodie and others wouldn't have such protection.
So even though he understood the old man's goodwill, he had to refuse, and hurry back to Jinling!
The old man was once again refused, angrily coughing, "You little rascal, are you trying to kill with anger?"
"The Taoist sect is far more powerful than you think! They haven't acted against you because of the Buddhist Sect's involvent! Likewise, most of the Huaxia cultivation world are watching the Buddhist Sect's movents!"
"Once the Buddhist Sect's unrest passes, the Taoist sect won't directly start a war with the Buddhist Sect, so they will surely turn to you! Then no one will be able to save you!"
This ti, Xu Fan didn't answer; he quietly listened.
Although the old man's words were extrely harsh, the deep care within them was unmistakable. Like a father desperately trying to save his child from quicksand.
However, Xu Fan wasn't in despair; he actually eagerly anticipated the upcoming battles!
In fact, apart from the five Supre Elders of the Taoist sect, Xu Fan looked down on everyone else!
Nonetheless, he didn't plan to tell the old man these thoughts.
Isn't it wonderful to have soone care so much about you? Xu Fan rely silently savored the warmth of this mont.
