"You're my junior? Then doesn't that make me your big brother?" the mad old man mumbled, his words slurring, his entire demeanor sluggish.
"That's right, you're my big brother. I, your junior, came to the Underworld with the sole purpose of finding the peerless divine weapon. I wonder where the Dynasty's peerless divine weapon is located."
Lu Fan nodded, his gaze growing serious. If his guess was correct, this old man's identity was no simple matter. Perhaps he knew the whereabouts of the peerless divine weapon. If that were the case, Lu Fan wouldn't have to worry too much.
"The peerless divine weapon, this is the peerless divine weapon!"
The mad old man pointed at the coffin, looking even more earnest, as if he weren't deceiving Lu Fan.
At the same moment, seeing the scene before him, Lu Fan's face instantly turned somewhat awkward. He hadn't expected the mad old man to mistake this coffin for the peerless divine weapon.
Just as Lu Fan was about to leave, the coffin lying flat on the ground suddenly levitated, emitting a colossal light that caught everyone off guard, leaving them somewhat stunned.
Witnessing this scene, a sharp glint appeared in Lu Fan's eyes. He hadn't thought the coffin was anything special, but now it seemed to be.
"Nine Dragon Coffin!"
Lu Fan murmured as he gazed at the characters on the coffin, his heart filled with shock. He hadn't expected this to truly be the peerless divine weapon.
Without the slightest hesitation, Lu Fan directly collected the Nine Dragon Coffin. He was, however, quite curious why no one had discovered that the Nine Dragon Coffin was in the great hall after all these years, considering it was a peerless divine weapon.
After securing the peerless divine weapon, Lu Fan turned his gaze to the mad old man, his eyes filled with pity. If he guessed correctly, this old man should be a top expert from the Assassin Dynasty. It was just that the Assassin Dynasty gradually perished in ancient times, forcing him to hide within the Nine Dragon Coffin, thus managing to survive until now.
"Big brother, you'll follow me from now on! No matter where you go, I'll take care of you!" Lu Fan said earnestly.
"I don't need you to take care of me!"
The mad old man waved his hand, "I want chicken legs, lots and lots of chicken legs!"
"I'll take you, I'll take you to eat the most chicken legs!" Lu Fan quickly nodded, a smile appearing on his face.
The old madman's face lit up with joy. He then grabbed Lu Fan's arm, ready to go eat good food. He didn't know how long he had stayed in the Nine Dragon Coffin, and he was completely unaware of the changes in the outside world.
"Who is the helmsman?"
Just then, Ghost Shadow walked in. He was slightly startled to see the mad old man, naturally not expecting to find such an old man in this hall. The old man appeared to be mad and unpredictable.
"It's alright, don't be afraid, he's my big brother!" Lu Fan spoke.
"Big brother?"
Ghost Shadow's face showed a hint of awkwardness. He hadn't expected Lu Fan to make a big brother on his trip to the Underworld. What he didn't expect even more was that this big brother seemed to be no ordinary person, with an aura radiating from him that was quite baffling.
"Who is he?" the mad old man glanced at Ghost Shadow.
"He's my subordinate. We'll eat chicken legs together then!" Lu Fan said with a smile.
"Okay, okay!"
The old madman's face beamed with joy and seemed rather solemn, as if in his eyes, eating chicken legs was the greatest joy in life.
"I have found the peerless divine weapon, we can leave now!" Lu Fan stated. "If he's indeed as expected, he should be a master from the ancient Assassin Dynasty. Let's take him with us, so he doesn't have to suffer alone here."
"I just came from another direction and detected numerous auras above the Underworld. If I'm not mistaken, someone might have entered the Underworld!"
Ghost Shadow spoke, "If we go out now, we might run right into them!"
"It's nothing, if they've entered the Underworld, they're bound to meet us. Since that's the case, why should we be afraid!"
Lu Fan waved his hand, his gaze appearing calm, as if all of this seemed so unreal in his eyes.
Following Lu Fan's words, Ghost Shadow nodded slightly and did not offer any objections. Now that Lu Fan possessed the peerless divine weapon, he didn't need to be so apprehensive. It was just unknown who had entered the Underworld.
As they were leaving, they saw many figures approaching from not too far away. One of them was Xuan Bei.
"Indeed, the heavens help those who help themselves. I've been looking for you, boy, for so long, and I never expected to find you in this Underworld!"
Xuan Bei smiled, his gaze turning cold. He stared intently at Lu Fan.
"This is the headquarters of the Assassin Dynasty. Did you enter the Underworld with the permission of our Assassin Dynasty?" Lu Fan questioned, his gaze growing displeasing.
"What a joke! So what if we entered the headquarters of the Assassin Dynasty?"
Xuan Bei said coldly, "The Assassin Dynasty has long ceased to exist, and in our eyes, it's not worth mentioning. You boy have been in this Underworld recently, and we won't let you off so easily."
Following these words, Lu Fan's brow furrowed slightly. He could clearly feel the sharp aura within Xuan Bei's body. If they were to confront him forcefully, and then they were to use the peerless divine weapon, it would be a loss rather than a gain.
"This is the Underworld, and I don't want to be your enemy!"
Lu Fan stated directly, "Whatever matters, we can settle them after we leave the Underworld!"
"You boy, don't try to trick me. If we really leave the Underworld, you'll likely have already run away!"
With a calm look in his eyes, Xuan Bei stated, "Therefore, this Underworld shall be your burial ground!"
Nine Heavens Profound Maiden also ascended into the air, gazing at Lu Fan. "Elder Xuan Bei speaks the truth. Today, you are likely beyond escape!"
Facing these words, Lu Fan remained unfazed, "Do you really think you can kill me here in the Underworld?"
"What, do you have other means?" Holy Maiden Yaochi smiled. "Killing you would only be a matter of moments!"
"This is the Underworld. I've heard rumors that few who enter the Underworld ever leave alive."
Lu Fan shrugged his shoulders, "If you were to fight openly here, you might alert some of the mysterious beings in the Underworld, which might not be beneficial to you!"
"Mysterious beings?"
Nine Heavens Profound Maiden frowned, "What do you mean by that? I don't quite understand! Are there other things in this Underworld!"
"As a member of the Assassin Dynasty, I am quite knowledgeable about the Underworld," Lu Fan asserted confidently. "If you dare to act here, you might all perish today. This is not an exaggeration."
