However, in the next mont, Xu Fan had no choice but to speak because the old immortal had already unleashed a big move.
"I'll give you one hour, if you can't make it to Yanjing, I'll consider you no longer my disciple."
The old immortal's words were clean and decisive, and the call ended just as abruptly, not giving Xu Fan any ti to consider, the phone was hung up and turned off imdiately.
With that, Xu Fan had no choice but to reschedule his flight, aiming towards Yanjing.
There was no helping it, even though the situation with Xia Xiaodie was urgent, the situation with the old immortal was equally pressing! The old immortal had only one disciple, Xu Fan, and Xu Fan had only one ntor, the old immortal; how could he bear to see the old immortal sulking?
Ti was running out, after changing his flight, he had to quickly board the plane. Xu Fan hesitated for a long ti, but ultimately did not choose to call Xia Xiaodie.
"As soon as the old guy is settled, I'll fly to Jinling imdiately!"
Xu Fan made a quiet decision in his heart, boarded the plane, took off into the sky, and flew towards Yanjing.
On the other side, the old immortal put down the phone triumphantly, but the smug look on his face didn't last long before it turned into a sigh.
How could the old immortal not understand Xu Fan's thoughts?
But in the old immortal's view, Xu Fan had to rush to Yanjing and join the Six Gods before the Taoists could react. This way, the Taoists would not take action against Xu Fan, and the people around Xu Fan would naturally be safe.
However, if Xu Fan were allowed to return to Jinling, under the Taoist powerhouse's pursuit, Xu Fan, Xia Xiaodie, and others would probably not escape!
Indeed, if Xu Fan was on his way, and Taoist powerhouses went to Jinling, Xia Xiaodie and others would be in danger, but at this mont, the old immortal could no longer care about too many people.
"I... only have this one disciple!"
The old immortal sighed, stood up wearily, and hurried towards the airport.
The arrangents with the Six Gods were already in place, and now it was only waiting for Xu Fan to arrive to take the assessnt and beco a mber of the Six Gods. Although the Taoists were strong, they still had to respect the face of the Six Gods to so extent.
However, no matter how clever the old immortal was, he would never expect that Xu Fan was now the abbot of the Buddhist Sect! What's more, the Taoists knew this identity of Xu Fan perfectly well!
With this kind of connection, how could the Taoists choose to spare Xu Fan because of the face of the Six Gods?
In such strategic-level matters, whose face is worth anything?
...
At this mont, as Xu Fan was rushing to Yanjing, while the old immortal was eagerly waiting, countless Taoist powerhouses were already converging from all directions, and their destination was precisely Jinling!
These powerhouses had clear assignnts; so were ordered to find people, so to establish connections, and so to capture certain people without recognition, capture without killing...
But all these tasks served one ultimate purpose, which was to cut the ground from under the cauldron!
The Taoists had deeply recognized Xu Fan's power, and realized that eliminating Xu Fan would have a massive impact on the balance between the Taoist and Buddhist factions! Therefore, this ti when the Taoists took action, it was watertight, intent on giving Xu Fan a fatal blow!
...
At this mont, Xu Fan naturally didn't know that because of his decision, Xia Xiaodie and others were plunged into great danger.
At this mont, Xu Fan's heart was filled with a feeling of frustration.
Although the old immortal was usually carefree and unserious, he was still Xu Fan's ntor, a ntor's command was like a mountain, and had to be obeyed. The old immortal wanted Xu Fan to go to Yanjing, so Xu Fan had to go to Yanjing.
Xu Fan wasn't too worried about Xia Xiaodie over there.
After all, the Taoists were a prestigious faction, although they weren't righteous at heart, a grand faction like the Taoists, dealing with Xu Fan, would just send soone to pursue and crush him; dealing with Xia Xiaodie and others would undoubtedly be overkill.
The Taoists valued their reputation the most, so in Xu Fan's view, their likelihood of attacking Xia Xiaodie was extrely low. As long as he settled the matter with the old immortal quickly, there should be enough ti to rush to Jinling!
Xu Fan's biggest headache was how to properly handle the old immortal!
He knew the old immortal's temper too well; in such a critical mont, the old immortal would definitely try his best to find a way out for himself, and Xu Fan couldn't refuse it at all.
Now, Xu Fan could only pray that the path the old immortal had arranged for him wasn't too long and wouldn't waste too much ti...
"Dear passengers, welco to Yanjing, we hope to see you again on your next flight, and wish you a pleasant journey!"
The pleasant broadcast sounded as the plane landed smoothly, Xu Fan sorted out his emotions, and in a few steps, made his way out of the bustling crowd.
Xu Fan originally thought that he would be greeted with a tirade from the old immortal, but he didn't expect that what awaited him was a hug from the old immortal.
"Brat, it's okay now..."
Looking at the slightly aged face of the old immortal and hearing the slightly trembling gentle comfort, Xu Fan suddenly felt an urge to cry.
In just a few months, the old immortal had actually aged a lot! Most of his black hair had turned white!
Most likely because he had been worrying about himself, that's why most of his black hair had turned white!
At that mont, Xu Fan had a sudden urge, like when he was a child and was scared and aggrieved, to hide in the embrace of this person in front of him, to feel the broad shoulder and the warm heartbeat.
Thus, Xu Fan opened his arms, ignoring the gazes of passersby, and walked towards the old immortal to give him a big hug.
However, what Xu Fan never expected happened, the old immortal saw Xu Fan's gesture, and the open arms quickly dropped down, looking at Xu Fan with an expression of disdain.
"Brat, how old are you? Why aren't you hugging young girls instead of this old man? Get going!"
Seeing the disdainful look in the old immortal's eyes, Xu Fan was filled with awkwardness.
"Cough, cough, stop standing there like a fool, get in the car!"
Like a stage perforr changing masks, the old immortal's deanor switched from moved, to disdainful, and now beca extrely serious again.
He pulled Xu Fan into a black Range Rover, and personally drove the car, which quickly took off. During the ride, the old immortal signaled Xu Fan to stay silent until they entered a suburban area, passed a peculiar-looking checkpoint, and finally the old immortal relaxed, turned around, and spoke to Xu Fan.
"Kid, you have topped the three major rankings, now those who want to kill you can line up from Yanjing to Jinling! Among them, the Taoists are a giant entity, even the central children of first-class Hidden World Families, if they offend the Taoists, they're as good as dead!"
"Cultivators have control over worldly energy far beyond your imagination! So right now, we are not safe!"
"The only way to save you now is to join the Six Gods! Beco one of the Six Gods!"
