Watching the figure step by step approaching from the base entrance, everyone shuddered. The base, which had just been in utter chaos, suddenly fell into an eerie silence.
However, this silence did not last long and was soon shattered by cries of terror.
"Xu, Xu Fan!"
"Is that Xu Fan?"
"That death bringer, why is he here?"
The Family Heads, who monts ago had sworn to grind Xu Fan's bones and scatter his ashes to vent their hatred, were now staring at each other in horror, their throats moving as they swallowed hard.
Killing Xu Fan to avenge the family's Elders was sothing the Family Heads only mouthed; at this mont, they were gathered together rely to prepare for the unexpected and avoid Xu Fan's impending attack, silently waiting for news that the Taoist Supre Elder had slain Xu Fan!
Just as the Family Heads were at their most angry and righteous, Xu Fan suddenly appeared before them, causing them to panic.
Especially since everyone could clearly see Xu Fan's young face, as cold as ice! The fierce murderous intent surged forth, seemingly enveloping the entire base!
Watching Xu Fan like this, everyone felt a chill rising from their feet, rushing straight to their Heavenly Gate!
Why would Xu Fan appear here?
It should be known, the real party holding killing intent against Xu Fan is the Taoists! It was precisely because of the Taoists' Kill Order that the Family Heads were eager to act and violently attempt to put an end to Xu Fan!
Though indeed the Hidden World Families had wronged Xu Fan in so aspects, the base did have so credit for fostering Xu Fan. Xu Fan had already killed so many Elders, why does he fixate on the Hidden World Families?
In other words, Xu Fan had already offended the Taoists, making it hard for him to take a step in the entire Huaxia Cultivation World with the Taoist Kill Order looming! Facing off against the Hidden World Families to the end, there would be no place for Xu Fan in the grand Huaxia Cultivation World!
Does Xu Fan really not understand this reasoning?
"Xu Fan! You still dare to co to this base?"
Dozens of Family Heads exchanged glances, one stepping forward to angrily shout at Xu Fan, "The Taoist Kill Order has been issued, and instead of fleeing for your life, you co to the base. Do you expect the base to protect you?"
"Ever since you stepped out of the base, you no longer have any connection to it!"
The Family Heads, who had sworn to kill Xu Fan just monts ago, now seed to suffer amnesia, with none ntioning the killing of dozens of Elders nor speaking of slaying Xu Fan; they only wanted to expel Xu Fan from the base.
In fact, as long as Xu Fan didn't attack them, not to ntion breaking into the base, they would even give Xu Fan the entire base.
But the Family Heads had to save face; Xu Fan's appearance alone put them in utmost embarrassnt. If they didn't angrily scold him a bit, how would they hold their heads high in the future?
Facing the Family Heads' rebuke, Xu Fan said nothing, his steps unyielding, advancing steadily towards them.
This scene startled everyone.
Leave so room for maneuvering today, to et again later under better terms. By killing dozens of Elders, Xu Fan already greatly hard the Hidden World Families, and now he appears here again, seemingly intending to obliterate everyone!
Regardless of whether Xu Fan could actually slaughter everyone, with a Taoist Kill Order issued, instead of seeking to escape, why would he suddenly appear here?
Has Xu Fan perhaps made up his mind, letting everything fall apart, even at the cost of dragging so along in his demise?
The issue is... The Kill Order is initiated by the Taoists; if Xu Fan seeks mutual destruction, shouldn't he be targeting the Taoists instead of causing trouble with them?
Moreover, even with a Taoist Kill Order, as long as Xu Fan is clever, fleeing thousands of miles, going abroad, wouldn't leave him utterly without any chance?
In truth, Xu Fan is certainly aware of these matters and also understands the concept of leaving room. When killing dozens of Elders within the base, he spared one person, which was more of a warning than revenge, and the Family Heads of the Hidden World Families are well aware.
Unless necessary, Xu Fan also does not want to be at odds with the Hidden World Families. However, the upheaval in Jinling disrupted Xu Fan's rhythm.
With Xu Fan's growing power, the forces left in the mundane world were far from able to et his needs, instead becoming burdens. For safety purposes, Xu Fan had long since deliberately severed ties with the people in Jinling.
As long as nothing happened to Xu Fan, the forces Xu Fan left in Jinling would never face trouble; otherwise, it would surely invite Xu Fan's retaliation!
Everyone in the Cultivation World understands this principle, and precisely for this reason, coupled with the covert care of the old immortal, Xu Fan always had many enemies, yet no one dared to reach for Jinling.
Most people, like Old Mu and others, did not fear Xu Fan or the old undying; rather, they disdained such actions!
Threatening Xu Fan by capturing ordinary people, even though Old Mu and the four had long hidden their identities, and despite Old Mu's ruthless nature, he couldn't stoop to doing such a thing, let alone those notable figures?
In the Cultivation World, mutual exploitation and conflict are unchecked, but there is a limit! One would never attack ordinary people! Otherwise, not only would they be ridiculed by the entire Cultivation World, but it might also invite pursuit and killing!
So, over ti, Xu Fan relaxed his vigilance, even with the Taoist Kill Order in place, never expecting anyone to make a move on Jinling.
Now, with the changes in Jinling, Xu Fan regretted it, but it was of no use; he could only calmly face the situation to find a way to salvage it.
The situation, though difficult, is not entirely unsolvable!
Xia Xiaodie vanished without a trace, with Lingyan Pavilion seemingly evaporated from the human world! Achieving this feat is surely not by a single person but by an imnsely powerful force! Furthermore, infiltrating Jinling on such a large scale cannot possibly have left no clues; once Xu Fan finds these clues, he can follow the trail, fight back, and rescue Xia Xiaodie and others.
The fastest way to find these clues also requires an enormous power!
Within the Cultivation World, which power is the most formidable? Naturally, it is the Taoists!
But when it cos to gathering information, the Taoists cannot handle it alone; they must rely on their subordinate forces, the Hidden World Families!
The purpose of Xu Fan appearing at the base today has beco very clear... to consolidate all the Hidden World Families! With the fastest speed, find the clues to the Jinling upheaval! So as to swiftly rescue Xia Xiaodie and others!
How to consolidate all the Hidden World Families, and issue commands to the high-and-mighty Family Heads?
Of course, with fists!
Staring at the Family Heads in front of him filled with panic yet forcing composure, Xu Fan's lips curved into a cold arc.
