At this mont, the Family Heads finally understood one truth.
Indeed, submission to Xu Fan ant standing against the Taoist family, which lood like a giant. None of the Family Heads had the courage to resist. Submitting to Xu Fan ant the possibility of being implicated and executed by the Taoists!
However, not submitting now ant not even having a chance to be implicated! It would an being directly slain by Xu Fan!
No one is foolish. Even the affiliates of the Taoists, upon seeing Xu Fan charge into an army of a thousand without a single opponent able to withstand him, would not stubbornly continue to pledge allegiance to the Taoists.
Why pledge allegiance to the Taoists? Isn't it because of fear of their formidable power? But now, Xu Fan stands at the sa height as the entire Taoist sect!
"Master Xu, we are willing to submit to you, willing to do anything. It's just that..."
Having chosen to submit, it was tantamount to temporarily resolving the imdiate threat to their lives. Naturally, the Family Heads had to strive to avoid the forthcoming wrath of the Taoists. At this mont, the Family Heads waved their hands to dismiss their elite troops, standing nervously before Xu Fan.
"It's just that our strength is weak, far inferior to the Taoists! This ti, it's rumored that the Taoists have sent three Supre Elders themselves to kill Master Xu with overwhelming force!"
"We're not afraid of death, it's just that we're embroiled within our families. If we openly oppose the Taoists, we fear the entire family might be uprooted by them!"
Even though they were intimidated by Xu Fan's iron hand, the Family Heads had no choice but to speak these words.
Submission to Xu Fan was to stay alive, but if Xu Fan intended to use them to openly oppose the Taoists, then even if they were to die, they would never comply.
In fact, it was precisely this possibility that the Family Heads thought of when they gathered together, ordering hundreds of elites to protect them, but they never expected that despite being prepared, Xu Fan would break through without resistance.
"Three Supre Elders? Haha, the Taoists truly live up to their reputation as a prestigious sect, dispatching three Supre Elders just to kill a re Vajra Realm junior like ."
Jinling has changed, the Lingyan Pavilion vanished into thin air, Xu Fan naturally didn't know this news. Listening to the Family Heads, he could only laugh coldly.
"Don't worry, my grievances with the Taoists won't involve any external force, nor will I use you as cannon fodder."
Xu Fan did not choose to lead the Buddhist Sect, left to temper himself through battle. The Taoist Kill Order was sothing Xu Fan even looked forward to! Under such circumstances, how could Xu Fan plan sothing as reckless as driving tigers to swallow wolves?
In other words, the Taoist Kill Order was sothing Xu Fan didn't even care about! Even upon hearing the news of three Supre Elders descending, his eyes showed no sign of wavering.
Although Xu Fan's current realm was rely at the Vajra Realm peak, he had many trump cards. If he were to use his full strength, he wouldn't fear even confronting one or two Supre Elders head-on.
Therefore, even though it seems the descent of three Taoist Supres is unstoppable, Xu Fan, with a swift assault to kill or severely injure one of them, would achieve an invincible position!
Clearly, the Family Heads too saw the confidence in Xu Fan's eyes. Although they didn't know Xu Fan's trump cards and true strength, hearing Xu Fan wouldn't allow them to openly oppose the Taoists, they finally felt a bit of relief.
The Taoists were terrifying, and so was Xu Fan, neither could be provoked. If they were caught in between, they would be utterly destroyed!
"Master Xu, to what purpose do you require our submission?"
Looking at the cautious and fearful Family Heads, Xu Fan was uninterested in wasting words and directly revealed the purpose of his visit.
"Your submission is rely to accomplish one thing! As long as you give a satisfactory answer within the specified ti, your lives will be spared."
"I know you wield considerable energy in the Mortal World. I'll give you half a day; no matter what thod you use, you must investigate what's been happening lately in Jinling for !"
"Jinling?"
Hearing Xu Fan's words, the Family Heads collectively breathed a sigh of relief.
As long as Xu Fan didn't make them do anything dangerous, or directly or indirectly oppose the Taoists, they would have no fear for their lives. Investigating the situation in Jinling was a minor task, sothing they could certainly handle with ease.
"Rest assured, Master Xu! Within half a day, we will deliver the ssage!"
Dozens of Family Heads bowed to Xu Fan as if to leave, but Xu Fan coldly laughed, saying sothing that left them frozen in place.
"Did I say you could leave?"
So Family Heads had already stepped forward, but hearing Xu Fan's words, their steps halted midair. They dared neither step forward nor retreat, feeling imnsely awkward.
Xu Fan cast a casual glance at them, "Everyone should stay here for the ti being, accompany for a discussion about the recent matters concerning the Taoists. Investigating the changes in Jinling is a small task that can be handed over to others."
Xu Fan, not being a three-year-old child, wouldn't just let them leave with a re submission.
Even if Xu Fan wasn't afraid of being betrayed, and they didn't return within half a day, he could always hunt them down, but Xu Fan was, after all, only one person. Finding the hiding Family Heads in a sea of people would be challenging.
Moreover, the changes in Jinling were like a thorn lodged in Xu Fan's heart, an issue that needed resolution in the shortest ti, so he could face the upcoming battle with the Taoists without worry!
"Master Xu speaks truly…"
Read by Xu Fan, their awkwardness grew, their bearing increasingly cautious, submissive.
Earlier, they indeed thought of escaping and hiding, thinking that once they survived this turbulent period, Xu Fan being slain by the Taoists, they could return to the world. However, their thoughts were seen through by Xu Fan at a glance.
"You, head to Jinling imdiately! Activate those pieces in the Mortal World, and we should have an answer soon!"
"Be sure nothing leaks! Or co see with your head!"
Under Xu Fan's gaze, the Family Heads issued orders one after another, figures leaping into the air. In no ti, half of the several hundred elite were gone.
With Xu Fan's formidable strength, and the Family Heads now submitted, the elite didn't hold much significance remaining there.
In the Mortal World, the influence of the Hidden World Families was enormous! Now, with dozens of Hidden World Families joining forces to investigate, any matter in the Mortal World would likely be easily unearthed.
Now, Xu Fan only needed to wait patiently for the return of the information.
