As they were talking, Lu Fan returned to Hua City as if nothing had happened. He went into the tavern and ordered some wine and food.
Within Hua City, everyone was completely stunned. They thought they had seen wrong, but upon closer inspection, it was indeed Lu Fan, which greatly frightened them.
Being pursued by a Holy Land and then killing four of their elders, only to return to Hua City now – his courage was truly immense, showing no regard for Xuan Guang Holy Land. They had never met anyone as direct as Lu Fan.
"He actually returned!"
The Hundred Blossom Fairy also showed shock and headed towards the tavern. This tavern was opposite her Hundred Blossom Tower. In just a single stride, she was inside.
Upon seeing the Hundred Blossom Fairy, Lu Fan smiled faintly, "Why have you come?"
"I have met many exceptionally talented individuals, but never someone with your state of mind."
The Hundred Blossom Fairy spoke directly, "You must know that Xuan Guang Holy Land is pursuing you and will not let you go easily. Why did you still return?"
"Haven't you heard the saying? The most dangerous place is the safest place. It might be the safest here."
Lu Fan shrugged slightly, a smile appearing on his face. It seemed that in his eyes, all of this was insignificant.
Following Lu Fan's words, the Hundred Blossom Fairy frowned, "But by acting so brazenly, aren't you telling everyone that you are right here in Hua City!" Su Dan Novel Network
"That is well said. I do have that intention."
Lu Fan nodded and said, "Xuan Guang Holy Land wants to kill me, and I must make them pay. The lives of the four elders alone are not enough!"
"You intend to act against other members of Xuan Guang Holy Land?"
Baihe was astonished, "That's a Holy Land!"
"So what if it's a Holy Land? Does that mean Holy Lands can kill, commit arson, and do whatever they please?" Lu Fan shrugged.
The two were instantly rendered speechless, unsure how to respond.
"Young people are indeed different. Their words are so forceful. Unlike this old man, I can barely stand steady when I walk."
Elder Hua walked in slowly, a smile on his face.
"So it's Senior!"
Lu Fan rose slightly and clasped his fists. He had seen Elder Hua intercede for him when he was trapped by Lu Tiannan.
"You don't need to pretend in front of me, kid. And I don't go for that stuff."
Elder Hua waved his hand, "The reason I pleaded for you was all because Baihua asked me to!"
The Hundred Blossom Fairy was slightly taken aback, her face instantly flushing.
"So it was the Hundred Blossom Fairy!"
Lu Fan clasped his fists again. He had actually guessed it, but upon confirmation, he still felt a warmth in his heart.
"None of that is important. What's important is that you need to leave Hua City quickly!" The Hundred Blossom Fairy said directly, "If the experts from Xuan Guang Holy Land arrive, it will surely bring about a catastrophe."
"Even the Grand Elder of Xuan Guang Holy Land couldn't do anything to me. What kind of experts could they possibly send?"
Lu Fan smiled faintly, his gaze even more placid, as if he didn't take any of this too seriously.
"Within a Holy Land, elders are not the strongest!"
Elder Hua spoke, "Above the elders, there are the Supreme Elders. If these old fellows make a move, you probably won't be able to escape no matter how hard you try."
"Supreme Elder?" Lu Fan frowned. "I haven't heard of this before. Do these Supreme Elders possess heaven-defying abilities? Otherwise, why do you speak of them with such reverence?"
"You should know that above Saint is Saint King. To become a Supreme Elder of a Holy Land, one must be a Saint King!"
Elder Hua said directly, "Within the entire Holy Land, even the Holy Lord must show respect to a Supreme Elder. Do you understand the might of a Supreme Elder now?"
"I truly didn't expect there to be such powerful individuals within a Holy Land!"
Lu Fan narrowed his eyes. He had initially thought that the most powerful within a Holy Land would be the Holy Lord, followed by the elders, but it seemed things were not that simple.
"The foundation of a Holy Land is extremely profound!"
Elder Hua stated, "Therefore, never underestimate a Holy Land. You, kid, should leave Hua City as soon as possible. Returning to the Assassin Dynasty might save your life!"
"I believe least in this kind of thing!"
Lu Fan shrugged slightly. "I, however, want to see if Xuan Guang Holy Land will send a Supreme Elder to deal with me!"
Elder Hua was instantly helpless. He had said all this to persuade Lu Fan, but it seemed to be of no use.
"If you don't listen to us, you will surely lose your life here!" The Hundred Blossom Fairy said repeatedly, "Why go through such a futile sacrifice."
"They have already sent for people."
Lu Fan shrugged slightly. "If my guess is correct, it won't be long before the true Divine Kings of the Assassin Dynasty appear. At that time, even a Supreme Elder of Xuan Guang Holy Land would not dare to act rashly!"
"King-level assassins?"
Elder Hua was startled, his eyes showing more fear. Saint King-level King-class experts were truly terrifying existences, belonging to the absolute peak of the Eastern Region.
The King-level assassins of the Assassin Dynasty were not only Saint King level experts but were even more terrifying than Saint Kings. They could even easily intercept Saint Kings, which was the terrifying aspect of the Assassin Dynasty.
Those who could become King-class experts were generally branch leaders of the Assassin Dynasty, core figures of the Assassin Dynasty. Such existences would never easily emerge.
What Lu Fan had said seemed to be true. If this were indeed the case, the entire Hua City would likely become turbulent, and it might even escalate into a conflict between the two major factions.
Lu Fan had his own reasons for doing this, which was why he had returned to Hua City.
At the same time, throughout the entire Eastern Region, a massive uproar was caused. People discussed the matter widely, with endless mockery directed at Xuan Guang Holy Land. The news of Lu Fan killing four elders of Xuan Guang Holy Land and then returning to Hua City spread throughout the Eastern Region.
No one expected Lu Fan to be so reckless, catching everyone off guard.
Meanwhile, within Xuan Guang Holy Land, Lu Tiannan's expression was extremely unpleasant. In the main hall, a middle-aged man with a handlebar mustache stood, his brow furrowed.
"Holy Lord, it was my momentary negligence that allowed that brat to seize an opportunity!" Lu Tiannan clasped his fists.
"You are the Grand Elder of my Xuan Guang Holy Land, and you personally made a move yet failed to capture him. Just what kind of monstrous talent is he?" the Xuan Guang Holy Lord frowned. "When has my dignified Xuan Guang Holy Land ever suffered such humiliation!"
"Holy Lord, perhaps you should let me go first!"
A young man walked in, exuding an aura of righteous light, appearing quite ethereal.
"Xuan Guang Saint Son!" Lu Tiannan clasped his fists slightly.
