Chapter 47: Life and Death Battle

Long Anhai arrived at the courtyard with a group of Long Family elders and Long Mansion Guest Elders.

"Dad!"

Seeing them arrive, Long Caiwei ran over directly, looking aggrieved and wanting to complain.

Xiao Yuan turned his head and glared viciously at Long Anhai: "You, whose surname is Long, do you have a death wish?"

"This is my Long Family, you had better watch your tone, you whose surname is Xiao."

Long Anhai's expression immediately turned cold, and he said in a deep voice: "My Long Family wouldn't dare to do anything to an Immortal Palace Disciple, but as for you, Xiao Yuan, my Long Family still dares to kill you!"

Hearing Long Anhai's words, Xiao Yuan was instantly rendered speechless… Wei Xia, who was beside him, had also wanted to say something, but upon hearing Long Anhai's words, she didn't dare to speak.

Long Anhai had no time to pay attention to Long Caiwei; he strode to Xiao Fan's side, and upon seeing that Xiao Fan was unharmed, he let out a sigh of relief.

The Piaomiao Immortal Palace Disciple opposite them, Dai Hanfei, looked at Long Anhai and said in a deep voice: "Is your Long Family trying to go against the Immortal Palace?"

"Do you know what happens to those who go against the Immortal Palace?"

Long Anhai's expression was ugly, but he gritted his teeth and said: "My Long Family naturally wouldn't dare to go against the Immortal Palace, but Xiao Fan is a member of my Long Family, so naturally, my Long Family must protect him well."

"I said, Xiao Fan is someone Senior Brother Xiao Tian wants, and he must be taken away."

Dai Hanfei spoke coldly, and after speaking, a long sword appeared in his hand, intending to make a move directly.

Long Anhai's expression was ugly; if he really made a move against this Immortal Palace Disciple, and this matter reached the ears of the Immortal Palace, his Long Family would likely be wiped off the map in Wuhuang Province overnight.

However, just at this moment, a terrifying pressure descended from mid-air; it was the kind of pressure only a Tongtian Realm expert could emit.

The Long Family Ancestor, Ancestor Long Zizai, appeared above everyone's heads, looking down at the people below with an ugly expression.

Long Anhai had already sent someone to notify him just moments ago.

"Tongtian Realm?" Dai Hanfei frowned; his cultivation was only at the sixth stage of the Huaqi Realm; he was no match for a Tongtian Realm expert.

Judging by the aura the other party was emitting, he was clearly not a weak existence in the Tongtian Realm.

However, there was no sign of fear on Dai Hanfei's face; after all, his status as a Disciple of the Immortal Palace was a death-immunity gold medal for him.

"Old man, you want to make a move?" Dai Hanfei gripped his long sword and glanced at Ancestor Long Zizai in mid-air, speaking without any hint of courtesy.

"Junior, stop being arrogant."

Ancestor Long Zizai was furious upon hearing this; he was a Tongtian Realm expert; when had he ever suffered such humiliation?

"You had better think clearly; I am a person from the Immortal Palace. Do you know the consequences of attacking me?" Dai Hanfei said in a deep voice.

Xiao Yuan and his wife breathed a sigh of relief on the side; most of the Xiao Family members were the same; when they saw the Old Ancestor emitting his aura, both of them had almost been scared to the point of wetting themselves…

The Old Ancestor was so angry his face turned red, his eyes seemingly wanting to eat someone, but thinking of the Long Family, he endured it and did not take action.

"A mere Outer Sect Disciple of the Immortal Palace, and you dare to come here to act wild?"

However, at this moment, a faint voice drifted from afar; only the voice could be heard, but the person could not be seen.

"Who is speaking? Playing god." Just as Dai Hanfei finished speaking, he felt a Killing Intent envelop him, but he still forced himself to remain calm.

"Hehe… You say this old man is playing god?"

A figure arrived like lightning, reaching the space above the courtyard in the blink of an eye, floating not far from the Old Ancestor.

"Who are you?" Dai Hanfei asked; the aura on the other party was terrifying…

"Hehe… My name is Qiao Yuanzhou; people like to call me Elder Qiao."

The person who arrived in mid-air was none other than Pavilion Master Qiao Yuanzhou…

Dai Hanfei frowned, feeling the name sounded familiar; Xiao Yuan, who was beside him, was thunderstruck by the name; he quickly whispered into Dai Hanfei's ear: "He is the North Pavilion Master of the Treasure Pavilion!"

"What!!"

Upon hearing this, Dai Hanfei was shocked; the North Pavilion Master of the Treasure Pavilion, one of the four great Pavilion Masters.

Although the influence of the Piaomiao Immortal Palace was above that of the Treasure Pavilion, for him, an Outer Sect Disciple of the Piaomiao Immortal Palace, to be compared with the North Pavilion Master, one of the four great Pavilion Masters of the Treasure Pavilion, his weight was simply not enough.

"Why, do you know who I am now?" Elder Qiao smiled, but the smile was a bit cold.

Dai Hanfei took a deep breath, then cupped his hands and said: "Junior Dai Hanfei, Outer Sect Disciple of the Piaomiao Immortal Palace, greets Elder Qiao. I did not know it was Elder Qiao who had arrived, please forgive me!"

This scene stunned everyone around, including Ancestor Long Zizai.

They only knew that the Treasure Pavilion was powerful with countless treasures, but they hadn't expected it to have such great influence, to the point where even an Immortal Palace Disciple had to bow his head.

Even Xiao Fan was shocked; he had originally thought he had overestimated the influence of the Treasure Pavilion, but it seemed he had underestimated it.

"Hehe… Seeing that I am here, why haven't you scrambled away yet!"

Elder Qiao first sneered, then his words turned into a reprimand.

Dai Hanfei lowered his head, enduring the pressure, and said: "Elder Qiao, I came here this time under the orders of Senior Brother Xiao Tian to take Xiao Fan to see him."

Elder Qiao frowned and said in a deep voice: "You are using a Disciple's name to pressure me? I think you must be crazy, right?"

"Junior naturally wouldn't dare…"

Dai Hanfei felt bitter; he had originally thought this was an easy task, but he had ended up provoking the North Pavilion Master of the Treasure Pavilion!

But if he couldn't take Xiao Fan back, how was he supposed to answer to Xiao Tian?

Dai Hanfei lowered his head, pondered for a moment, and said: "But Junior would still like to ask Senior for permission. I want to have a Life and Death Battle with this Xiao Fan. Both sides will sign a Life and Death Agreement. If I win, I will take this Xiao Fan away; if I lose, I will let Xiao Fan dispose of me as he pleases."

Elder Qiao was stunned and was just about to refuse, when at this moment, he heard Xiao Fan say in a deep voice: "I agree!"

Everyone around was stunned; everyone turned their gaze toward Xiao Fan, including Elder Qiao.

"Xiao Fan, your injuries haven't healed yet, don't be hasty." Long Anhai hurriedly advised.

Ancestor Long Zizai also spoke up: "Exactly, his cultivation is at the sixth stage of the Huaqi Realm, two small Realms higher than yours, and you are still injured."

Even Elder Qiao tried to persuade him: "He is a mere Outer Sect Disciple of the Piaomiao Immortal Palace; you don't need to pay him any mind."

At this moment, another gust of wind surged in mid-air, and a figure appeared in the sky; after arriving, he first cupped his hands to Elder Qiao, then stood with Ancestor Long Zizai.

The person who arrived was a middle-aged man, tall and fierce; it was none other than the City Lord of Jingchuan, City Lord Lu Zhiming.

"No, I want to accept the challenge."

Xiao Fan took a step forward and cupped his hands to the three people in mid-air one by one; all three had come for his sake, and this kindness was something he had to keep in mind.

He didn't recognize the City Lord Lu Zhiming who had arrived last, but he could roughly guess the other party's identity.

Hearing Xiao Fan agree, Dai Hanfei's face was filled with joy; this way, he could legitimately beat Xiao Fan half to death and then take him back to report to Xiao Tian.

To curry favor with Xiao Tian, Dai Hanfei had practically risked his life.

Xiao Yuan, Wei Xia, and the group of Xiao Family members on the side all breathed a sigh of relief.

From the moment Ancestor Long Zizai appeared, to the appearance of Elder Qiao, their hearts had been pounding "thump, thump, thump" the whole time, and they hadn't even dared to breathe loudly.

"Three days from now, at the Arena of the City Lord's Mansion, I will have a Life and Death Battle with you!!"
