In just a brief mont of ti, the distance of several kiloters was crossed in the blink of an eye. Around ten celestial beings in Taoist gowns surrounded a celestial being in a purple robe, forming a scene akin to stars circling the moon.
The celestial being was enclosed within the central group, their specific appearance montarily unclear. All that could be seen was the gorgeous purple robe they wore, resplendent and extraordinary, with shimring radiance and cloud-like patterns, clearly indicating it was not an ordinary object.
The group of celestial beings cautiously surveyed the scene before them. It was evident that they had a connection to the Taoist young man who first descended. Seeing the bodies of Fu Qing and the other three, the pitiable and transford Bai Ying as Chu Le'er, and the trembling Jin Li, there was no trace of emotion on their faces.
However, when the crowd saw Xu Fan standing there resolute, a serious flash crossed their eyes, and they beca cautious, as if facing a formidable enemy.
The reason was simple. The Taoist young man who had first descended judged that the mortal Taoist base had been destroyed and the Sect Leader killed, suspecting Xu Fan and Jin Li, and reported this deduction upwards. Now, Xu Fan had stood up, while the Taoist young man was nowhere to be found, making Xu Fan clearly the pri suspect!
And this was also one of the reasons why Chu Le'er was determined to cooperate with Xu Fan. Moreover, Xu Fan stood there with a commanding presence, wielding his sword, and incredibly enough, the group of celestial beings dared not act rashly, focusing almost all their attention on Xu Fan.
Despite appearing as just a Zhiwei Realm, small as an ant, Xu Fan dared to stand there. Facing celestial beings, not fleeing, already indicated sothing amiss! Xu Fan's expression held a hint of enigmatic mystery, and combined with the mysterious disappearance of the first celestial being, in unclear circumstances, who dared to act impulsively against Xu Fan?
Celestial beings were no fools; on the contrary, these entities who have cultivated for who knows how many years, none of them were trivial figures. Caution makes the old ship sail smoothly!
Because of this situation, even Jin Li trembling at the side beca suspicious.
However, the celestial beings easily overlooked Chu Le'er. Xu Fan and Jin Li were clearly a team, while Chu Le'er was obviously on the opposite side. Furthermore, Chu Le'er was severely injured, her power too low, and her face openly displayed fear. Naturally, everyone's attention drifted past her.
Yet, poor Chu Le'er also had no chance to strike. The celestial beings surrounded the Purple Robe Celestial being in the center. Under such cautious circumstances, Chu Le'er dared neither to activate the Blood Formation nor to strike fiercely. If any unexpected incident occurred, the Purple Robe Celestial being could transmit the news to the upper realm, causing the plan to collapse entirely.
For a mont, the scene was at a stalemate.
Seeing that Chu Le'er had not acted for a long ti, Xu Fan internally groaned. He was, after all, rely a Zhiwei Realm and was unclear about Chu Le'er's true strength and hidden cards. In such a situation, it was inevitable to feel anxious.
But, Xu Fan was only lacking confidence, which was still far better than Jin Li, who appeared about ready to kneel! Xu Fan understood that since Chu Le'er had already dragged him into the water, since both parties chose to cooperate, there was no turning back.
Still... with the current stalemate, how would one decide?
No one knew how many celestial beings there were from the upper realm, and this was rely the second wave. Although there were many of them, they seed primarily focused on probing; if delayed, another wave from the upper realm could descend, forcing a change in the plan!
Precisely because Xu Fan was unaware of Chu Le'er's specific plan, he understood that the plan could not afford unexpected changes; it had to proceed as planned!
In the blink of an eye, a decisive look flashed in Xu Fan's eyes.
"What is your purpose in coming here from afar?"
Xu Fan stood with hands behind his back, his voice indifferent, embodying the deanor of a worldly sage who did not regard the group of celestial beings before him!
Nearly causing blood to spew from the celestial beings, Xu Fan arrived to annihilate the Taoists and killed the investigating emissary. Now, before they've even asked his purpose, he turned the question on them!
Yet, naturally, they dared not voice these thoughts. Even if they did, they weren't in a position to express them.
The celestial beings opened a path, revealing the central Purple Robe Celestial being. At this mont, Xu Fan finally saw clearly the appearance of the Purple Robe Celestial being—it was an excessively youthful and beautiful youth!
Though "beautiful" may seem odd for a man, it suited this Purple Robe Youth Celestial being perfectly! With enchanting eyes, red lips, deep-set eyes, and fair skin akin to pure jade, his allure surpassed mortal celebrities by hundreds of tis!
Despite the Purple Robe Youth Celestial being's exposure, Chu Le'er still did not strike, further surprising Xu Fan, as the Purple Robe Youth Celestial being only showed his face, glanced at Xu Fan, then pulled out a drawer, opened the box, and spoke among themselves, while casually gesturing, causing the celestial beings to close ranks again, obscuring the Purple Robe Youth Celestial being.
This scene puzzled Xu Fan.
In Xu Fan's imagination, celestial beings should stand aloof, disregard all, and view mortal existence as ants. Even a Kai Yang Realm cultivator on earth could arrogantly puff up and use their nose for disdain, yet the celestial beings here—facing just him—they acted cowardly?
How had his presence grown so intimidating that even celestial beings were daunted?
Xu Fan obviously didn't know that higher cultivation did not necessarily equate to greater bravery. Especially celestial beings, they appeared commanding before mortal cultivators, but faced with crises, they cherished their lives more than anyone.
Those with nothing to lose resist fearlessly—not because they're braver, but because those with possessions have greater concerns.
Besides, Xu Fan didn't know what orders the celestial beings had received, and given that Xu Fan, as the main culprit, was present, the celestial beings naturally had no reason to act hastily, not even to utter a word.
In other words, both parties existed on entirely different levels; a celestial being's death could be inconsequential or monuntal, and if it escalates, the entire mortal realm might face a bloodbath! Under such circumstances, why rush?
The celestial beings were in no hurry; Xu Fan, however, was growing anxious.
Feigning mastery wasn't easy; it was quite a tough act! Moreover, a feigned master needed dignity! If they don't respond, won't Xu Fan lose face? Once doubt set in, the act could unravel!
As Xu Fan's gaze passed over the celestial beings, seeing another ripple from the direction of the fifth Immortal Mountain, his heart jolted, and he finally stopped hesitating.
Facing the celestial beings, Xu Fan casually extended his hand, uttering a phrase that changed every celestial being's expression, "Woman, co entertain !"
