Chapter 173: Returning to Jingchuan

The three of them were stunned…

What was Xiao Fan playing at?

Given this kid's personality, to think he would actually kneel directly?

"What is going on? Speak quickly."

Sect Master Xu Yongnian spoke in a deep voice, sensing that something incredible must have happened.

Jiang Yushan's expression also darkened; he had thought highly of Xiao Fan ever since the latter first joined the Sect.

Furthermore, it was during his class that Xiao Fan had experienced an Awakening of the Enlightenment Seed…

He had been incredibly proud of this for some time, frequently running off to Danding Peak in the Outer Sect to brag and show off to Kong Ping.

Elder Cao Mu was also stunned. Based on their understanding of Xiao Fan, how could he possibly come begging to the Sect unless something massive had occurred?

This was, after all, The Terror who dared to even slash himself…

"Piaomiao Immortal Palace has gone too far. Led by an Elder of the Xuandan Realm, they are bullying my wife and threatening to exterminate my entire clan…"

Xiao Fan recounted the events.

The fact that he was a matrilocal son-in-law was no secret within the Jixian Sect.

And after Xiao Fan finished explaining the sequence of events, the expressions of the three men turned livid.

If he didn't return by one day, they would kill one person; if he was late by three days, they would strip Xiao Fan's wife bare and parade her through the streets?

"Good, very good, Piaomiao Immortal Palace!!"

Jiang Yushan, having a fiery temper, was so enraged upon hearing this that he smashed the tea table in front of him to pieces on the spot.

Sect Master Xu Yongnian furrowed his brows without stopping him, but his eyes also turned incomparably cold…

Even Elder Cao Mu, who was usually gentle-tempered and gaunt as a stick, now had a chilling expression on his face…

To think that the family of a Jixian Sect Disciple could be bullied to such an extent by Piaomiao Immortal Palace?

Xiao Fan kept his head bowed, his face so dark it could drip water, still kneeling on one knee.

"Sect Master Xu Yongnian, what are we going to do about this!"

Jiang Yushan turned his head and shouted angrily, "No matter what you say, I am definitely going to handle this matter."

Sect Master Xu Yongnian sighed. His usual smiling demeanor was gone as he said sternly, "Right now, most of the Elders in the Sect have gone to the vicinity of Xiluo City to search for any suspicious individuals…"

Upon hearing this, Xiao Fan's heart skipped a beat.

He thought Sect Master Xu Yongnian might be planning to give up on sending help.

After all, it was hardly worth antagonizing Piaomiao Immortal Palace for the sake of one Outer Sect Disciple.

Jiang Yushan had the same thought; as Sect Master, Sect Master Xu Yongnian had to consider the big picture in everything he did…

Just as he was about to erupt in anger, he heard Sect Master Xu Yongnian continue, "How about this… You and Elder Cao Mu follow Xiao Fan there first, and the Sect will send more support later."

Upon hearing this, Xiao Fan, who had been kneeling with his head bowed and a gloomy expression, was stunned…

Jiang Yushan was also stunned, and even Elder Cao Mu, who had been silent on the side, felt the same.

This was quite different from Sect Master Xu Yongnian's usual way of handling things.

In fact, even Elder Cao Mu had been thinking of urging Sect Master Xu Yongnian to send someone to stand up for Xiao Fan just a moment ago…

After all, Piaomiao Immortal Palace had gone a bit too far this time.

And the person they were threatening was no ordinary person.

It was the Prodigy Disciple who had awakened the Enlightenment Seed within his Jixian Sect!

"Good, I will head out immediately."

Jiang Yushan patted his chest, his voice several decibels higher than usual.

Elder Cao Mu, standing to the side, did not speak, but he also rose from his seat.

"Kid, let's go."

Jiang Yushan said, looking at Xiao Fan.

Xiao Fan looked up at the three men. He nodded, stood up, and bowed deeply to the three of them with great respect, clasping his hands in a salute.

Sect Master Xu Yongnian smiled, "Rest assured, nothing will happen, even if the other party is Piaomiao Immortal Palace."

His tone was calm, yet it revealed a sense of dominance.

Jiang Yushan patted Xiao Fan's shoulder, "Don't be wishy-washy, let's go."

Elder Cao Mu nodded without speaking.

Xiao Fan took a deep breath. Originally, he had only hoped that the Sect could send one Elder to accompany him back, allowing him to have a fair fight with Xiao Tian!

At the very least, so that if he defeated Xiao Tian in the end, people from Piaomiao Immortal Palace wouldn't maliciously interfere!

He hadn't expected that Sect Master Xu Yongnian would not only send two Elders at once…

But also promised to continue sending more people later.

This moved him deeply.

Xiao Fan brought Jiang Yushan and Elder Cao Mu back to his Immortal Cave.

Inside the Immortal Cave…

Zhu Gang wore a warm smile, enthusiastically hosting the Second Elder and Third Elder…

After entering the Immortal Cave, both men were dumbfounded. When had they ever seen a real Immortal Cave?

Let alone sitting inside drinking tea at this moment.

For a moment, they realized with a start that they seemed to have been wrong before…

Xiao Fan seemed to be doing quite well within the Jixian Sect…

At the very least, much better than they had imagined.

Just then, the door to the Immortal Cave was suddenly opened, and Xiao Fan walked in with two Elders.

The golden token was only one aspect; he had already dripped his blood to claim ownership, so he could open the Immortal Cave without the token.

Zhu Gang turned his head and was stunned to see Jiang Yushan and Elder Cao Mu…

He hurriedly ran over, clasped his hands, and paid his respects.

Xiao Fan had no time to pay attention to Zhu Gang. He walked up to the Second Elder and Third Elder and said, "Two clan Elders, let us leave now. We are returning to Jingchuan City."
