Walking in the dark, Lu Fan dared not expose his aura and continuously concealed his figure. He was well aware that if discovered, his reputation might be compromised.
However, one thing was certain: there had to be a way out of the Nine Provinces Eighteen Sects. Every formation would have a loophole, Lu Fan was extremely confident about this, though finding that loophole would be extremely difficult.
“Sister Zhao, something’s wrong! That person who came today is gone!”
Gui Lan ran over, her eyes filled with panic. She never imagined that Lu Fan would try to leave. Wasn’t that courting death? After so many years, no one in the Nine Provinces Eighteen Sects had ever dared to do such a thing.
“How could this happen!” Sister Zhao’s expression shifted. “Which direction did he go?”
“I don’t know. I assume he wants to leave the Nine Provinces Eighteen Sects, so he left secretly,” Gui Lan quickly said. “If people from other sects find out, they definitely won’t let him go. Then it will be a dead end.”
“You’re not coming with me!” Sister Zhao frowned and walked outside. Since he was someone she had chosen to bring in, she naturally couldn’t let him get into trouble. This was Sister Zhao’s way of doing things.
Although Lu Fan was not worth mentioning in her eyes, it did not mean that Lu Fan’s life could be trampled upon at will.
“Fat girl, what’s wrong?”
Tu Wenhai was monitoring the many slaves when he turned his gaze towards Sister Zhao.
“Nothing, I can’t sleep, so I came out for some fresh air!” Sister Zhao shrugged.
“I doubt it. Sister Zhao never comes out at night. Why are you so worried today? Could it be that the slave ran away?” Tu Wenhai said with a smile. “I’ve always felt that this kid is not simple, and he has a reverse scale. Once I catch him, I’ll skin him alive!”
“Since he is my person, how can I let others act recklessly!”
Sister Zhao said directly, “Are you going too far with your words?”
“Seeing how anxious you are, I was just saying.”
Tu Wenhai said casually, his eyes becoming calm, as if human lives were unimportant in his eyes.
Sister Zhao ignored him and looked around, not knowing where Lu Fan had gone. If he was seen by others in the middle of the night, his life would be in jeopardy.
In the Nine Provinces Eighteen Sects, everyone was a killer. The Nine Provinces Eighteen Sects were formed by eighteen aristocratic families, each with incredibly formidable existences. This was also why even the Sacred Lands dared not act rashly.
Although these aristocratic families were not comparable to the Ancient Desolate aristocratic families, their strength was not weak. Now, they had united to form the Nine Provinces Eighteen Sects, which was enough to show their power.
Lu Fan stayed by the formation for a long time but couldn’t find a solution. His expression gradually turned ashen. “Is it really impossible to get out of the Nine Provinces Eighteen Sects? Will I really be trapped here for my entire life?”
“Kid, don’t get discouraged. If you’re trapped here, how can I regain my new life!”
The voice of the primordial old man suddenly rang out, sounding rather serious.
Following these words, Lu Fan’s eyes also turned ashen. “Old man, tell me what’s going on. Why are there no loopholes in the formations of the Nine Provinces Eighteen Sects?”
“If loopholes were that easy to find, it wouldn’t be called the Nine Provinces Eighteen Sects!” the primordial old man smiled. “Even the Sacred Lands dare not offend them easily, so they wouldn’t be ordinary people!”
“Then tell me, what should I do now?” Lu Fan said helplessly.
“I heard that as long as one becomes a member of the Nine Provinces Eighteen Sects, they can enter and exit freely!”
The primordial old man smiled. “Do you want to consider it, kid?”
“You mean join the Nine Provinces Eighteen Sects?” Lu Fan frowned. “But they might not let me join.”
“Do you think it’s that easy to join the Nine Provinces Eighteen Sects?” the old man rolled his eyes. “To join the Nine Provinces Eighteen Sects, you must become a son-in-law of the Nine Provinces Eighteen Sects. Only then can you join, because only by becoming a close relative of the Nine Provinces Eighteen Sects will they truly be at ease.”
“So you mean I should marry into the Nine Provinces Eighteen Sects?” Lu Fan was stunned.
“You said something wrong. To be precise, you should marry Sister Zhao.”
The primordial old man smiled. “I think she treats you well, and she’s a good person. If you can get her, becoming a son-in-law of the Nine Provinces Eighteen Sects will be as easy as pie.”
Lu Fan stood there stunned for a long time, his face instantly showing embarrassment. He hadn’t expected the primordial old man to be so direct, which made him feel a little shy. But then again, Sister Zhao was indeed a good person, it’s just that she wasn’t very attractive.
Lu Fan preferred slender types, not a fat person.
“I think you’re lost in thought, kid!”
The primordial old man rolled his eyes. “Do you know how awesome it is to become a son-in-law of the Nine Provinces Eighteen Sects? It can even be compared to a son of an Ancient Desolate aristocratic family. No matter where you go in the future, no one will dare to look down on you lightly!”
“Old man, you know quite a bit!” Lu Fan shrugged. “But I have a strong bottom line, and I am absolutely not afraid of power!”
As they were talking, not far away, Lu Fan saw an old man peeing on a rock, looking quite lewd.
Lu Fan quickly stepped forward, about to speak. The old man quickly pulled up his pants. Seeing Lu Fan, he cursed, “You little fellow, you’re too impolite. I’m relieving myself here, how can you peek?”
“Senior, I wasn’t peeking!”
Lu Fan smiled awkwardly. “Are you also someone who was captured and brought into the Nine Provinces Eighteen Yun? That’s why you’re looking for an exit from the barrier?”
“How did you know?” The old man’s eyes flickered as he looked at Lu Fan.
“To tell you the truth, I just escaped and am looking for an exit from the Nine Provinces Eighteen Sects!”
With seriousness in his eyes, Lu Fan said repeatedly.
Following these words, the old man quickly said, “Then did you find it? Let me know if you do.”
“I don’t know how the formations of the Nine Provinces Eighteen Sects are arranged, so I can’t find it at all.”
Lu Fan showed a bitter smile. Anyone captured and brought into the Nine Provinces Eighteen Sects must have some background. Although this old man didn’t look like much, he was a fellow traveler, so Lu Fan was polite.
“To be honest, I haven’t found it either, but there’s a clue!” the old man said seriously. “If we follow this route, maybe we can really leave the Nine Provinces Eighteen Sects!”
“Senior is indeed amazing!”
Seeing a map in the old man’s hand, Lu Fan showed surprise. “Could this map have been stolen?”
