Hearing Xia Hengzhou's words, it was now Xu Fan's turn to be shocked.
The previous words were rely deductions Xu Fan made based on his intuition, and he didn't expect them to hit the mark so accurately!
Earth truly harbors such a terrifying hidden force! It's always been nearby, but everyone is completely unaware! When this force bares its fangs, one can only imagine how horrifying it will be and what trendous chaos it will cause!
Although Xu Fan was shocked, his expression remained calm, "Actually, I wasn't too certain before, but after knowing about the Millennium ga, and connecting it to your previous actions, I made so vague speculations."
The Millennium ga! Even the Immortal Emperors hold it in great regard! One can imagine its importance!
And precisely because of this, before the Millennium ga officially begins, all major forces keep their distance from the Bronze Box, fearing trouble. Yet Xia Hengzhou isn't the least bit afraid, even deliberately collecting them.
Twenty years ago, Xia Hengzhou single-handedly founded Lingyan Pavilion and then abandoned it, the reason behind it might not be as simple as it seems.
All in all, when Xu Fan placed his doubtful gaze upon Xia Hengzhou, he realized that he knew absolutely nothing about Xia Hengzhou! This water is terrifyingly deep!
"With just these bits of information, you can make so many deductions?" Xia Hengzhou gazed at Xu Fan with a suddenly complex expression, filled with profound admiration, icy detachnt, and deep apprehension.
Suddenly, Xu Fan laughed, and the tense atmosphere instantly dissipated. "Old Xia, if I'm not mistaken, your intentional appearance at Huang Family's entrance and ntioning the four Immortal Emperors and the previous era was not only to test but also to propose cooperation with , right?"
Xia Hengzhou's force is too mysterious, possibly a colossal hidden under the surface or belonging to the four Immortal Emperors. Xu Fan blatantly reveals it and suddenly shifts direction to confuse the other, making it hard for them to gauge his strength.
Sure enough, Xia Hengzhou was a bit stunned, "You've said so much, just to cooperate with ?"
Xu Fan shrugged, spreading his hands, "Of course, you speak too tantalizingly, dragging out your words, so I had to speak for you."
"Haha, Xiao Die really didn't misjudge you." Xia Hengzhou picked up his teacup, seemingly unperturbed. "Tell , how do you plan to cooperate?"
Xu Fan raised three fingers, "First, I need information about Xiao Die and the others. Second, I need intelligence on the four Immortal Emperors. Third, I want to understand your power."
Xia Hengzhou squinted, posing an old-ti cunning look, nothing flashy like before.
"The first condition, I can agree to. As for the latter two conditions, I'm afraid I don't have enough authority to satisfy you."
Just like bargaining, soone raises the price while another tries to cut it down. Xu Fan expected this and wasn't anxious, "Where are Xiao Die and the others?"
Xia Hengzhou gazed at Xu Fan, sincerely laughing for the first ti, "They are with the Forces of Light. Don't worry, Xiao Die is also my daughter, I certainly wouldn't send her to any dangerous place."
"Moreover, I sent them there in your na, otherwise they wouldn't have agreed so swiftly."
Hearing this, Xu Fan finally breathed a long sigh of relief.
When he discovered Xia Xiao Die's disappearance, Xu Fan nearly lost his temper. Gradually calming down and analyzing it, he concluded that Xia Xiao Die was not in danger and only then suppressed his impulses. Although rationally knowing Xia Xiao Die is not in danger, emotionally he couldn't accept it. Now hearing that Xia Xiao Die is with Avril, a weight finally lifted from Xu Fan's heart.
"Thank you for this." Xu Fan also smiled at Xia Hengzhou sincerely.
Xia Hengzhou patted Xu Fan's shoulder, "It's the least I can do. Visit Xiao Die when you can."
At this mont, they finally resembled a father-in-law and son-in-law.
However, this brief warmth was quickly shattered.
Xia Hengzhou soon put on a stern face, "Since we're cooperating, and I've told you about Xiao Die, shouldn't you give so information in return?"
"How did you destroy the Taoist family? What happened on the Taoist Immortal Mountain? What's your current strength?"
Three consecutive questions, each trickier than the last.
However, Xu Fan wasn't one to be easily bullied. With a cold smile, he flipped the situation, "You've only answered my first question. Xiao Die is your daughter, I should care, and you should care even more! If you want cooperation, show genuine sincerity first!"
Xia Hengzhou was furious, "Who's the one lacking sincerity here? Do you even want to cooperate?"
Xu Fan shalessly spread his hands, "If you don't want to cooperate, then forget it! You have your sources, I have mine. If we happen to cross paths, you and I will deal with each other, but aside from you, Old Xia, don't bla for turning on you!"
Xia Hengzhou sneered, "Oh! Just because you destroyed one Huang Family, your tail is up in the air?"
Xu Fan held his tongue, adopting an unreadable expression, full of confidence.
No matter if Xia Hengzhou's power belongs under an Immortal Emperor, cooperation between the two should be based on equal strength. If Xu Fan reveals too much, he's just one man, at best with an unreliable woman, Xia Hengzhou might just turn on him imdiately.
With truth concealed and lies utilized, deceit is welco.
Indeed, Xia Hengzhou was bluffed by Xu Fan's profound appearance, "Kid, you know about the previous era, the four Immortal Emperors, dare to challenge the Taoist family, offend the Taoist Master, your backing must surely be one of the three Immortal Emperors."
"Be honest with , is it the Green Master, Demon Lord, or Buddha Lord among the three?"
Xu Fan secretly noted the nas of the four Immortal Emperors, once again displaying his shaless style, refusing to budge.
Xia Hengzhou gritted his teeth. After bargaining, giving away a lot of information, Xu Fan still didn't relent, unwilling to disclose anything! In all his years in the Cultivation World, Xia Hengzhou never suffered such a loss!
"Boss! The brothers at the door found an invitation letter; not sure when it was delivered."
As they were engaging in a battle of wits, the door was suddenly knocked, and a man in black entered, placing a red-hot invitation on the table.
On the invitation, a sinister bat spread its wings, below it was a naked Demon, its fangs nacing.
In the space provided was a line of blood-red words, Opened by Xu Fan!
