Ah!
Another loose cultivator let out a miserable scream, his life ended by the personal intervention of a Family Head from a Hidden World Family.
Yet, not far away, three loose cultivators, disheveled and covered in blood, seed oblivious as they crazily charged towards the blockade line.
This scene puzzled all the powerful figures from the various Hidden World Families.
Although they were loose cultivators, they were Vajra Realm cultivators. They should possess at least basic psychological resilience, right? What terrifying event occurred fifty miles away that scared these loose cultivators to such a state?
Bang! Bang!
Several sounds echoed as the Family Head once again took action, killing the three loose cultivators. Simultaneously, the Family Head's cold voice rang out.
"Don't overthink it! Loose cultivators are always a mixed bunch. It's normal for a few out of tens of thousands to be cowardly."
"I will first head to the rear to et with the other family heads. No one is allowed to discuss this, remain vigilant! If Xu Fan is spotted, kill him on the spot!"
The Family Head's expression was severe as he left coldly with several high-ranking mbers, leaving the rest looking at each other in confusion.
Since the siege began, the Family Head had been going to the rear for etings with the other Family Heads multiple tis. Was it really necessary to make such a big fuss and hold so many etings just to hunt down Xu Fan?
Moreover, the behavior of the loose cultivators left everyone perplexed.
If they feared death, why were they oblivious to them? Despite repeated warnings, they still rushed into their swords?
Do such people really fear death?
What exactly happened fifty miles ahead? Why were there so many screams earlier, and why did it suddenly beco silent?
Did ten thousand loose cultivators succeed? If they did, shouldn't they be fighting amongst themselves and allowing us to profit from their chaos? Did these ten thousand unfamiliar cultivators reach so sort of agreent?
If so, shouldn't our people embedded among the ten thousand loose cultivators have relayed the information back to us?
Helplessly following the strict orders of the Family Head, everyone could only look at each other nervously and continue guarding their positions.
...
Far in the rear, several tens of miles away, nurous strong figures from various Hidden World Families were on alert, while dozens of Family Heads gathered together, arguing incessantly.
"It's already been ten minutes! There's not even the slightest noise from over there! I suggest we imdiately send soone to investigate!"
"Absolutely not! It's been ten minutes! Not a sound has co out! The ten thousand loose cultivators must be dead! Sending soone now will surely provoke Xu Fan's wrath!"
"Ridiculous! In a few minutes, could ten thousand loose cultivators be slaughtered completely? Even ten thousand pigs wouldn't die this quickly!"
"Right! Xu Fan might already be dead, and the ten thousand loose cultivators have reached an agreent, secretly awaiting the Supre Elder from the Taoists to arrive!"
"Fools! Do you not understand Xu Fan's strength? Can ten thousand loose cultivators kill Xu Fan? I'm worried Xu Fan has turned the ten thousand loose cultivators against us! They are now figuring out how to capture us all in one go!"
The normally dignified Family Heads from the Hidden World Families were now arguing like bickering housewives, faces flushed and unable to convince each other.
"Should we... wait and observe a bit more? After three minutes, we can discuss and decide based on the situation?"
Ever since the Family Heads decided to attack Xu Fan, they had been retreating from the front lines multiple tis, generally every three minutes moving to the rear, claiming to hold a eting but actually avoiding danger and spotting crises early to retreat in advance.
"No way!"
This ti, however, this suggestion was t with opposition from the majority of Family Heads.
"There's been no movent from the front for ten minutes now, there must be a change! Everyone knows Xu Fan's strength, we cannot take risks lightly!"
"Maybe Xu Fan is unaware of our presence, perhaps we should proactively withdraw!"
"Absolutely not! Xu Fan isn't a fool, he must have figured out it was us! The Taoist strong is closing in! Retreating now will be unfavorable on both sides! We will face calamity later!"
"We should maintain our current stance! Our task is to stall Xu Fan until the Supre Elder arrives, then our mission will be complete! No need for success, but no room for failure!"
"In agreent!"
"In agreent!"
This proposal, favoring no success but no failure, quickly gained the unanimous consent of the Family Heads.
As the eting ended, the Family Heads finally relaxed a little. Soone couldn't help but express their sentint.
"This Xu Fan, with such talent and strength at such a young age, is truly a once-in-a-millennium genius! If not for the Taoists, I genuinely wouldn't want to oppose Xu Fan..."
These words sparked discussion, with so affirming and others negating.
"Coming of age and already at the Peak of Vajra Realm, such a talent is rare! His true strength even surpasses seasoned Zhiwei Realm experts! If he breaks through to Zhiwei Realm, he could rival Mysterious Light Realm strong! To say he's once-in-a-millennium isn't an exaggeration!"
"Not so! A genius isn't rely about power but potential as well! Xu Fan succeeded young, his Proud Bone stands, yet he lacks the fundantal qualities of a cultivator; frivolous when patience is needed, soft-hearted when cruelty is required! Such a 'genius' is a wasted genius!"
"Indeed! If Xu Fan were more ruthless, I might genuinely fear becoming his enemy!"
Hahaha!
The group laughed uproariously.
Ultimately, between Xu Fan and the Taoists, the Hidden World Families inevitably had to side with the Taoists. Xu Fan is powerful, but he stands alone, while the Taoists are a towering, formidable entity!
Throughout, the Family Heads never believed Xu Fan could win this unfair war.
Thus, the choice is simple. Even if it involves so risk now, the Family Heads were determined to show their unwavering stance to the Taoists!
Rumble!
While the Family Heads laughed, the earth suddenly trembled, as if thousands of troops and horses were rushing from afar.
What's going on?
All the Family Heads sprang up, quickly rising into the sky, looking towards the direction of the loud noise.
In the massive plus of dust, nurous powerful exotic beasts charged towards the blockade line like a gale.
These beasts were not of one kind: so resembled bulls, trampling with four legs and shattering the ground; others like tigers, engulfed in flas; so like deer, antlers crackling with lightning... But the common trait was their enormous size and formidable aura, comparable to Zhiwei Realm experts!
And their number was in the thousands!
This...
The Family Heads exchanged glances, faces changing dramatically.
"Not good!"
The destination of these mysterious beasts seed to be the direction where Xu Fan was located...
