"I suddenly remembered there are still some matters to attend to. The procurement in the Holy City will be entrusted to you!" the Lin family's grand-uncle reminded, "You must handle it properly and ensure there are no mistakes!"
Seeing this, everyone present also looked suspicious, not knowing why their grand-uncle acted this way, which left them rather perplexed.
The Lin family's grand-uncle said no more, turned, and headed towards the Lin family, a sense of fear growing in his heart as if recalling something.
"What's wrong with Grand-Uncle? Why has he become like this?" a man asked, "Is Grand-Uncle afraid of the people from the Assassin Dynasty? Otherwise, why would he be so panicked!"
"Do not speak nonsense here and disrespect Grand-Uncle!" an elder stated, "Whatever decisions Grand-Uncle makes, we just need to do our own jobs well. As for other matters, do not give them any thought!"
Hearing these words, everyone nodded slightly, their expressions growing somber. They were naturally very clear about this and dared not be the slightest bit negligent.
Meanwhile, the Lin family's grand-uncle's expression also turned serious. He glanced around, his heart filled with anxiety, eager to return to the Lin family quickly.
The reason for his change was that he had considered the consequences. Although there was no news of the Assassin King Zhang Haotian yet, if the Assassin Dynasty's Haotian intended to kill him, he would be in trouble.
After all, he knew very well that the Assassin Dynasty's Haotian was no ordinary person, his strength was above his own, and coupled with the peerless divine weapon he possessed, if he truly intended to deal with him, it would be difficult for him to cope.
However, just as he was thinking this, a figure appeared before the Lin family's grand-uncle, sneering, "Isn't this the Lin family's grand-uncle? Why are you leaving so quickly? Could it be that you've done something you're guilty about, hence this haste!"
Looking at the figure before him, the Lin family's grand-uncle was startled, his face gradually turning grave, "It seems my guess was correct. You were indeed planning to assassinate me. No wonder I felt a killing intent earlier!"
"Assassinate me?"
Lu Fan shrugged slightly, "You think too highly of yourself. I never planned to assassinate you; instead, I planned a direct kill. Someone like you is not worth my assassination!"
Following these words, the Lin family's grand-uncle let out a cold laugh, "Your tone is quite arrogant, young man. Regardless of anything, I am the Lin family's grand-uncle. If anything truly happens, the Lin family will not easily let you off!"
"You've said that many times, but do you think I would care about such things?" Lu Fan smiled faintly, "I vaguely recall that the Nine Provinces Eighteen Sects were destroyed by you and Dao Xuan. Dao Xuan is already dead, is it not your turn now!"
"You should think carefully. You have completely offended the Xuanguang Holy Land, and you still want to completely offend my Lin family?" the Lin family's grand-uncle said coldly, "Young people should not act so impulsively. Considering things clearly is most important!"
Facing these words, Lu Fan did not speak much, his expression growing even colder, as if, in their eyes, all of this was not worth mentioning.
"I know you resent me for destroying the Nine Provinces Eighteen Sects, but as long as you spare me today, I will never trouble you again in the future!" the Lin family's grand-uncle spoke again, "After all, I know I was in the wrong first. As long as you don't make an enemy of me, I won't make an enemy of you!"
"Is it too late to say that now?"
Lu Fan shrugged slightly, "Now you are already fish on my chopping board. I can kill you or dismember you as I please, and no one can stop me!"
The Lin family's grand-uncle's face turned ashen, "Are you being too arrogant, not taking me seriously at all!"
Lu Fan's expression was very indifferent, "Do you want to end yourself or shall I make a move? Choose either one, so you can't say I didn't give you a chance!"
"As the Lin family's grand-uncle, how can I tolerate your insolence!"
The Lin family's grand-uncle's expression turned cold, and at the same time, his aura became more powerful, clearly intending to fight Lu Fan. "Since you want to fight me, have the courage not to use the Divine Emperor Cauldron, lest it be a laughing stock if it gets out!"
"You really overestimate yourself. I didn't intend to use the Divine Emperor Cauldron to deal with you!"
Lu Fan narrowed his eyes, "Even without the Divine Emperor Cauldron's augmentation, I can still make you yield!"
After speaking, Lu Fan transformed into a gust of wind and lunged towards the Lin family's grand-uncle, exuding a divine might.
Upon seeing this, the Lin family's grand-uncle's expression shifted slightly, his demeanor growing colder. In that instant, a powerful aura surged forth, but instead of attacking Lu Fan, he turned and fled, seemingly without any hesitation.
"Trying to escape!"
Lu Fan's expression turned cold, carrying a sharp killing intent. He hadn't expected the Lin family's grand-uncle to retreat without a fight; what a coward.
"As long as you spare my life, you can go wherever you please in the future. Why do you insist on pursuing me so relentlessly!"
The Lin family's grand-uncle continued to flee, a sense of helplessness in his expression. The reason he acted this way was simply to survive. He knew very well that if he truly fought Lu Fan, he would be no match for him. After all, Lu Fan possessed a peerless divine weapon, and he would never be able to defeat Lu Fan.
They were naturally very clear about this, but with things reaching this point, they had nothing more to say.
Meanwhile, Lu Fan let out a hearty laugh, "Your tone is quite loud. You harmed so many people from the Nine Provinces Eighteen Sects, and yet you still want to live!"
The Lin family's grand-uncle shook his head, "It wasn't me who killed the people of the Nine Provinces Eighteen Sects; most of it was Dao Xuan's doing, and it has nothing to do with me!"
Lu Fan paid no heed. He understood this matter very well. If it weren't for the Lin family's grand-uncle, things would not have escalated to this point.
The Lin family's grand-uncle looked helpless and could only continue to flee, despair filling his heart. He never expected Lu Fan to be so fierce and completely disregard his explanations.
At the same time, Xu Fei had already arrived outside the Holy City but did not see the Lin family's grand-uncle or Lu Fan. He was somewhat puzzled, not knowing what was happening, and was deeply confused.
On the other side of the Holy City, Lu Fan and the Lin family's grand-uncle were locked in a fierce struggle, appearing evenly matched. The Lin family's grand-uncle's aura was sky-high, and in order to survive, he continuously used forbidden techniques.
Unfortunately, before Lu Fan, all of this was not worth mentioning. The Lin family's grand-uncle was destined to be defeated, and defeated very thoroughly.
Boom...
Another loud roar echoed. The Lin family's grand-uncle was violently thrown back, blood oozing from the corners of his mouth. However, at this point, it was beyond his control.
