Gazing at the young man walking step by step with a smile on his face, the na 'Master Xu' slipped out, leaving Old Mu montarily stunned.
Within this base, if anyone claims to know Xu Fan the best, it would undoubtedly be Old Mu! From the mont Xu Fan began cultivating his Divine Sense, Old Mu and the three others firmly fixed their attention on Xu Fan, testing him repeatedly, engaging in battles of wits and courage...
And now, a re two months later, the ant of the past is now to be called Master Xu...
This left Old Mu sowhat dazed, as if everything that had transpired was but a dream.
Not only Old Mu, but Old Xie, Old Wang, and Old Yi all looked at Xu Fan with an incredibly complex gaze, filled with anings they can barely comprehend.
Old Yi provided Xu Fan with elixirs, Old Wang taught Xu Fan combat skills, Old Xie crafted divine weapons for Xu Fan, while Old Mu stood up for Xu Fan, rescuing him from the encirclent of countless strongn of the Li Family.
The four of them spent so much effort cultivating Xu Fan step by step, yet their ultimate goal was to have Xu Fan killed!
This relationship, at this very mont, left the minds of these seasoned veterans, once as hard as iron and cold as stone, in utter confusion...
However, the sound of footsteps approaching slowly brought Old Mu back from his bewildernt.
"Master Xu, truly a genius that erged from the base. I've heard even the Taoist sects are helpless against you..."
Old Mu cautiously bent forward, smiling as he cupped his hand respectfully towards Xu Fan while glancing behind him, seeing that more than half of the thirty-seven elders had fallen, leaving barely ten of them desperately fighting, blood flowing, a scene of utter chaos.
"Haha, all thanks to Old Mu, the teachings and kindness from the four seniors will never be forgotten."
Xu Fan smiled faintly, stopping ten steps away from Old Mu, his smile as warm as a harmless sunshine boy.
"Master Xu, your words truly flatter us old fellows. Your talent is unmatched in my lifeti!" Old Mu cautiously exchanged pleasantries before abruptly shifting his gaze to the scene of brutality behind Xu Fan.
"Master Xu, since our separation, I've acknowledged my remaining days are few and dare not think beyond my status, long knowing my fate, wishing to spend my remaining days peacefully here, yet those fools shattered that tranquility."
"Though these people are foolish and unaware of Master Xu's prowess, they co from major Hidden World Families. Master Xu has slain them all and is now under the Taoist sect's hunt, fearing you'll be endlessly troubled by petty individuals."
Old Mu's words were incredibly clever, subtly hinting that today's events were entirely unrelated to him, as he has little ti left to live and is fully aware of Xu Fan's dread, knowing well his fate.
Subsequently, Old Mu stood from Xu Fan's perspective, analyzing Xu Fan's future, like a worried elder of the family.
In fact, Old Mu's words indeed contained logic.
If Xu Fan had resigned to despair under the Taoist hunt, then brazenly killing this group of elders would naturally be trivial. Since death was certain, why fear trouble?
However, Xu Fan is certainly not one who would give up on himself. The reason for his unrestrained killing of the elders from various Hidden World Families and deliberately sparing one was to strike fear into others!
If Xu Fan refrained from killing, he would instead face endless harassnt. Only by instilling fear can he find peace.
Moreover, Xu Fan was suppressed by the firepower of dozens of fighter jets all along, his anger long ablaze, how could he refrain from killing?
Yet, these sentints he would never explicitly express, nor disclose to Old Mu.
Because Old Mu was not a kind elder, but a fierce, cunning wolf. Old Mu and the three others were the ones who best understood Xu Fan within the base, just as Xu Fan understood them best.
Having co this far, Xu Fan certainly wouldn't let Old Mu and the three of them off the hook.
"The path ahead, no need for Old Mu to worry."
Xu Fan continued to smile faintly, "Since Old Mu is already aware of fate, could you enlighten this young man about your fate? Have you ever shared your fate with the other three?"
Knowing one's fate sounds impressive, yet the aning it harbors is profoundly weighty. Among the multitude in the world, who can escape death?
Death is fate! Knowing you must die is knowing fate!
Xu Fan's words, though devoid of any harshness, seed like an ordinary greeting between friends, yet the aning was mutually understood.
"Xu Fan! Don't be outrageous!"
Old Xie and the others clearly caught the undertone in Xu Fan's words, glaring angrily at him.
Old Mu sighed helplessly, preventing Old Xie and the others, appearing instantly aged by ten years, his gaze pleading as he looked at Xu Fan, "Master Xu, now that you've proven troubleso to the Taoists, we four are just ants in your eyes, why won't you let us go?"
Admittedly, Old Mu's appearance was quite pitiful at the mont, anyone oblivious to the situation might feel compelled to show compassion upon seeing him.
However, Xu Fan's expression remained unchanged, his gaze towards Old Mu remained indifferent.
"The kindness of the four seniors to this young man will never be forgotten."
One statent had sealed the fate and outco of Old Mu and the three others.
Indeed, if it wasn't for the imnse pressure from Old Mu and the three, perhaps Xu Fan would not have reached the Vajra Realm Peak, perhaps he wouldn't have achieved today's accomplishnt, perhaps today would be another landscape.
But, there's no 'if' in this world, since Old Mu and the others harbored killing intent for Xu Fan before, they naturally had to prepare for the consequences!
Nodding slightly, Old Mu understood, changing his pitiful deanor and standing upright, "Xu Fan, everything from the past was solely my doing! The other three rely followed my orders..."
"Brother!"
Old Mu's words were interrupted by Old Xie and others before he could finish. Clearly, Old Xie and others understood Old Mu's intentions.
"Xu Fan you little thief! To kill or flay, do as you please! Why the pretentious act!"
"Shut up!"
Old Mu sternly rebuked, silencing the other three, then continued to Xu Fan, "Though they wronged you in the past, you also t fortune through misfortune, rits and derits offset, neither owed. I alone will repay all past transgressions!"
His words resonated, his dominance pierced through, laden with a sense of desolate grandeur.
Soon, Old Mu again revealed a pleading glance towards Xu Fan, "Master Xu, is that acceptable?"
