"Thief, we've been looking for you for years, and we thought you were hiding abroad and wouldn't dare to return!"
A man in front sneered at Lin Shufen.
Behind him were three others, all at the peak of the Xiantian realm. The man in front was even stronger.
His strength was not less than Zhuji.
Because he was Bai Xiong, the first subordinate of Alliance Leader Zuo.
"Hall Master Bai! I trust you are well."
Lin Shufen said coldly, already preparing for battle.
Logically, twenty years had passed since the incident, and even if the treasure was priceless, they should have given up long ago.
But not only did they not give up, they chased her into the mortal world because this treasure was extraordinary.
Back then, after Alliance Leader Zuo was injured by the Old Heavenly Master, he had a chance to recover. This chance was the treasure stolen by Lin Shufen, the White Jade Divine Pill.
It was precisely because the Divine Pill was stolen by Lin Shufen that Alliance Leader Zuo's plan for revenge was shelved for twenty years.
It could be said that Lin Shufen, worthy of being Yun Fan's mother-in-law, had inadvertently helped Yun Fan.
At this moment, Bai Xiong said, "Thief, don't say we don't respect you. Commit suicide!"
As soon as he said this, Lin Shufen's eyes turned cold, but considering their lineup, they indeed had the qualifications.
Lin Shufen shook her head, "I'm sorry, I will only fight to the death and never be a coward!"
Although she was not a man, there was no such thing as a coward for her, but she was a woman who was no weaker than a man.
"Is that so?"
Bai Xiong said, "It seems you still don't cherish this chance to go with dignity. Then we'll have to deal with you ourselves!"
"That's not necessarily true!"
Lin Shufen said coldly, "Although your hidden sects are high and mighty, the mortal world is not a place where you can act recklessly!"
"Oh?"
Bai Xiong sneered, "At this point, who are you still expecting to save you? The Hell Organization or that Guigu kid?"
"Then I can only say you are too naive. The Hell Organization cannot enter China, and that kid is in trouble himself. You have no help!"
He looked at Lin Shufen with great certainty. The incident twenty years ago had angered Alliance Leader Zuo, so he was determined to have Lin Shufen die.
Lin Shufen said, "You are not qualified to want me dead!"
"I don't even know who gave you the courage!"
Just as Bai Xiong was about to make a move, a force suddenly pierced through, forcing Bai Xiong back.
"Hmm?"
Bai Xiong looked confused, because the opponent's strength was not weaker than his.
At this moment, Yun Fan appeared.
"I expected you treacherous beings to ambush us halfway!"
Yun Fan looked at them coldly.
"What?"
The most shocked at this moment was Lin Shufen. Even she did not expect the hidden sects to ambush them. How could Yun Fan have foreseen it?
In fact, it wasn't that Yun Fan had foreseen it. It was because their group's movements were suspicious when they came to Jiangnan, and the intelligence chief of the Black Dragon Society, Tian Ying, had caught wind of it.
But Tian Ying knew he was no match, so he secretly notified Yun Fan.
"I wondered who it was, but it's the Guigu kid who has been forced to retreat by our hidden sects!"
Bai Xiong disdained, "Twenty years ago, our hidden sects fell victim to your Guigu sect's schemes, which is why we lost. This time, your Guigu sect has no chance!"
At this moment, he was ready to kill Yun Fan and receive Alliance Leader Zuo's reward.
Yun Fan calmly said, "My Guigu sect has never failed, and this time is no exception!"
"I'd like to see how you, a mere Xiantian realm kid, can fight me!"
Bai Xiong roared, "Break!"
A loud noise echoed, and his Zhuji realm strength was directly revealed to Yun Fan. That's right, he wanted to scare Yun Fan to death with his aura.
Unfortunately, this time he had chosen the wrong opponent.
In an instant, Yun Fan made his move, heading straight for Bai Xiong.
Bai Xiong was stunned. In his eyes, Yun Fan was incredibly arrogant. How dare a mere Xiantian realm confront him, a Zhuji realm expert? It was sheer overestimation of his abilities.
"Boom!"
After they exchanged a blow, they both retreated. At this moment, Yun Fan realized that Bai Xiong's strength was not weak.
He was definitely not comparable to the four imposters from the Hell Organization.
Bai Xiong knew the terror of Guigu and naturally did not dare to be careless, directly using his full strength.
His three subordinates were not idle either. Since they were no match for Yun Fan, they would eliminate Lin Shufen first.
They thought that a three-on-one fight was a sure victory, but they did not expect that halfway through, Leng Ningshuang also arrived.
She joined the fray, fighting two on one, holding her own without falling behind. The three were intimidated by her aura.
With the two women united, they were even less afraid of these three.
Therefore, for a time, the three of them couldn't free up their hands to support Bai Xiong.
However, Bai Xiong was a very confident fellow. He believed he could defeat Yun Fan and therefore did not ask these three for help.
At this very moment, knowing Bai Xiong was difficult to deal with, Yun Fan directly unleashed the unity of man and sword.
One move, and you fear nothing in the world. It's not that Yun Fan only knew this move, but this move was very effective.
It was a perfect move for surprise, catching the enemy off guard, and striking decisively.
"Not good!"
Bai Xiong reacted instantly, but he was still hit by Yun Fan. Unlike others who would die if struck,
Bai Xiong only seemed to have sustained a minor injury.
"How is that possible?"
Bai Xiong couldn't believe it. Not only could Yun Fan injure him, but he was also surprised by Yun Fan's strength. At such a young age, he had already broken through to the Zhuji realm.
The inheritors of Guigu were indeed becoming more powerful with each generation.
"Heavenly Silkworm Silk!"
Yun Fan was shocked. At first glance, he recognized the armor on the other party, which was made of heavenly silkworm silk.
Strong and not weak, it could even stop bullets. Nature was truly wondrous.
"Kid, didn't you expect this!"
Bai Xiong said disdainfully to Yun Fan, "Although you have surprised and amazed me, how could I not be prepared? The next will be your death!"
He had a very accurate assessment of Yun Fan's combat power. He was only slightly stronger than him.
As long as he could withstand Yun Fan's most powerful move, Yun Fan would be like a piece of fat meat in front of him.
"Indeed, I didn't expect it. But do you think you're safe just because you're wearing this turtle shell?"
Yun Fan said with certainty.
"Oh!"
Bai Xiong sneered, "Please, what other means do you have?"
"Of course, it's my strength!"
In an instant, Yun Fan's strength rapidly transformed. Even within the Zhuji realm, he was among the peak existences.
"Not good!"
Bai Xiong was horrified. He didn't expect Yun Fan to have more tricks, and this was a considerable power. Even before it was unleashed, it had already locked onto him, leaving him no room to evade.
The next moment, as Bai Xiong struggled free, he saw Yun Fan's sword descend, striking him again.
As the saber fell, cold light shot out, and the surrounding onlookers felt an infinite chill. In the face of this chill, they were almost frozen into ice sculptures.
However, Bai Xiong, at the center of the battlefield, sneered, "Is that all your strength? Then you've truly disappointed me!"
He had expected this sword to be astounding, if not earth-shattering, then at least an invincible edge.
But he still overestimated this sword, because this sword was ordinary. As it fell, he felt no threat.
Therefore, in his opinion, Yun Fan's sword was as good as useless.
However, Yun Fan calmly said, "One!"
"Kid, what are you doing?"
Several people looked at Yun Fan in confusion.
"Two!"
"Putting on a show!"
"Three!"
The next moment, Bai Xiong felt a cold and domineering icy energy surge from within him.
He was so scared that he quickly lifted his clothes.
As he lifted his clothes, Bai Xiong was stunned. No wonder he didn't feel any pain. It turned out that Yun Fan's sword had directly pierced the heavenly silkworm silk soft armor and left an indelible wound on him.
The wound had been frozen at first, so he didn't feel any pain. But now, the cold pierced his bones, and he felt terrible.
"Die!"
Bai Xiong furiously attacked Yun Fan. He knew he wouldn't survive, so at this moment, his only goal was to kill Yun Fan, even if it meant dragging Yun Fan down with him.
"Sword Breaking Style!"
Yun Fan, based on the unity of man and sword, chose only the most refined sword move and perfected and repaired it to create this move. This was a move where he gathered all his strength, and it was a move he had developed after growing.
As this move descended, a sword energy like a fleeting glimpse shot towards the charging Bai Xiong.
In an instant, the sword energy struck Bai Xiong.
"Unh!"
Bai Xiong grunted and spat out a mouthful of blood.
"Pfft!"
"Hall Master Bai!"
Bai Xiong's three subordinates showed concern.
Bai Xiong sighed, knowing that in his current state, there was no hope of recovery. His dantian had even been shattered by Yun Fan.
"How was this move?"
Bai Xiong said, "Young heavenly prodigy, unique throughout the ages!"
This was the highest praise for Yun Fan. At the same realm and with the same strength, Yun Fan could instantly kill him, so Yun Fan deserved the title of unique throughout the ages. At least, he had never seen such a monstrous existence like Yun Fan before.
"Alliance Leader Zuo has an opponent!"
Bai Xiong looked dejected. He had followed Alliance Leader Zuo for decades and owed his current achievements to Alliance Leader Zuo's patronage.
In his eyes, Alliance Leader Zuo was invincible. Even back then, he believed that the Old Heavenly Master's victory over Alliance Leader Zuo was just a coincidence.
But now, it seemed it was not a coincidence at all, because the Old Heavenly Master's disciple possessed such terrifying strength. Looking at all the hidden sects and the mortal world, the Old Heavenly Master was unmatched.
He could only lament Alliance Leader Zuo's ill fortune. After being defeated by the Old Heavenly Master back then, he had finally managed to overcome the Old Heavenly Master, only to find that Yun Fan had already become a force to be reckoned with.
It seemed that cruel fate always awaited Alliance Leader Zuo. He thought it was the best opportunity to eliminate the Guigu sect when they were in decline.
But he did not expect that Yun Fan had already begun to embody the demeanor of the Guigu sect leader.
With that, he closed his eyes, his life force fading.
"Hiss!"
Lin Shufen and Leng Ningshuang gasped. In comparison, Lin Shufen only thought her son-in-law was too amazing.
But Leng Ningshuang knew Yun Fan well. To others, Yun Fan had reached the peak, but to her, Yun Fan's journey seemed to have just begun.
The remaining three stood trembling. They had no doubt that if Yun Fan made even a casual move, they would be annihilated.
But Yun Fan did not seem to intend to strike.
"Go back and tell Alliance Leader Zuo that his ambitions will not succeed. Twenty years ago, there was my master, and now there is me. Guigu is not someone he can afford to provoke!"
As soon as he said this, the three of them fled in haste, their legs trembling even as they ran.
"Yun Fan, thank you!"
Lin Shufen said gratefully to Yun Fan. If Yun Fan had not foreseen it, she would have been doomed today.
"You're welcome. This is what I should do!"
Yun Fan smiled.
"Farewell for now!"
Although Yun Fan's displayed strength was enough to contend with the hidden sects, she still had to leave.
This time, she was not escaping, but wanted to become stronger. Little did she know that with just one word from Yun Fan, Ellie would lead the entire Hell Organization to help.
But Yun Fan disdained to rely on his wife's wealth. Although he could clearly rely on his looks, he still wanted to rely on his strength.
"Mother-in-law, please go slowly!"
Yun Fan bid farewell to Lin Shufen.
At this moment, Leng Ningshuang said to Yun Fan, "Junior brother, with just one more step, you will have the strength of Alliance Leader Zuo back then!"
"Zhuji mid-stage?"
Yun Fan asked.
"That's right!"
Leng Ningshuang said, "Alliance Leader Zuo and Alliance Leader You both had the strength of Zhuji mid-stage back then!"
"So impressive! Then what was Master's realm back then?"
Yun Fan really wanted to know how strong the old man was.
Leng Ningshuang shook her head, "I don't know, but what is certain is that Master might have already surpassed the peak of Zhuji back then!"
"This..."
Yun Fan was stunned. He didn't expect the old man to be so strong. No wonder he could suppress the entire hidden sect.
If he had such strength, he would probably be even more arrogant than his master.
At this moment, Leng Ningshuang said to him, "Don't rush now. Take it one step at a time!"
"Mmm, mmm!"
Yun Fan nodded resentfully. Of course! At this level, there were no lucky breaks. Every step required countless drops of sweat.
One could not break through through trickery. In fact, let alone the Zhuji realm, even the Xiantian realm required exceptional talent and continuous effort to achieve.
Afterward, Yun Fan returned to the Black Dragon Society.
"Boss, there's a document for you!"
Lei Bao took out Yun Fan's document and said.
"My document?"
Yun Fan took the document and understood what was going on. It turned out that this document was from Zhao Lingyue.
Before Zhao Lingyue returned to the hidden sects, he had asked her to help inquire about his parents.
Upon opening the document, the contents did not disappoint Yun Fan.
According to the information, when his mother was critically ill, his father Long Aotian had gone to Yaowang Valley to seek medical treatment.
However, before reaching Yaowang Valley, he was intercepted by the Sword Sect and even the Heavenly Dragon Sect. After a fierce battle between the two sides.
The Sword Sect Master and the Heavenly Dragon Sect Master returned severely injured, and his parents disappeared without a trace after that battle.
Even Zhao Lingyue, after searching extensively, could not find any meaningful clues, but it was certain that his parents were not dead.
After all, the Shui family and Alliance Leader Zuo had agreed to bring back their heads. However, they returned injured. Therefore, in Zhao Lingyue's speculation.
There were only two possibilities: first, his parents were rescued by someone, and the rescuer had also injured the two attackers.
Second, his father Long Aotian fought them to a mutual destruction and then calmly escaped.
In Yun Fan's opinion, the first possibility was more likely. Although his parents were very powerful back then, they were far from being able to defeat the two sect masters. Otherwise, why would they be so passive?
But by whom they were rescued remained a mystery.
Yun Fan then put down the document. For him, although the clue was broken, there were still four people who knew the truth.
The Sword Sect Master, the Heavenly Dragon Sect Master, Alliance Leader Zuo, and the Shui family head.
Although he had no memory of his two birth parents, blood was thicker than water, and this revenge had to be taken by him personally.
Just as Yun Fan was about to go down to consolidate his cultivation, Zhao Fanghua ran in excitedly.
"Junior brother, good news!"
"What good news?"
As Yun Fan was wondering, Zhao Fanghua quickly said, "I've found a way to solve the love蛊!"
"What?"
Yun Fan's face instantly lit up with joy. This was truly great news.
