Chapter 4777: Xiao Xuan, the Scourge

Xiao Fan didn't spare the silver-armored expert a single glance; his only target was the Purple Lotus.

However, in the next moment, the silver-armored expert suddenly moved, throwing a punch toward Xiao Fan.

“Hmm?!” Xiao Fan was taken aback, and his fist collided with the silver-armored expert's.

The silver-armored expert had previously been at the Ninth Layer of Pseudo-Emperor Realm, but the power he unleashed now was definitely not that; it was at least at the Ninth Layer of True Emperor Realm.

“It’s you?!” Xiao Fan looked toward the Purple Lotus, not expecting it to have such an ability.

In an instant, Xiao Fan's desire for the Purple Lotus reached its Peak…

Seeing the silver-armored expert move, Sha Mushi and the others were both shocked and delighted… Although they didn't understand why the silver-armored expert was attacking Xiao Fan, the fact that their companion wasn't dead was certainly a good thing.

Because they were too far away, they could only see blurred figures and couldn't discern the silver-armored expert's actual condition…

The silver-armored expert had already become a Puppet, following the orders of the Purple Lotus to relentlessly attack Xiao Fan.

Xiao Fan's expression turned grim. Out of necessity, he forcibly suppressed the silver-armored expert, shattered his Physical Body, and acted to obliterate all his life force.

Witnessing this scene, Sha Mushi and the others' faces turned ashen.

“Xiao Xuan! Have you gone mad? You'd even kill your own companion?!”

“Xiao Xuan! What are you doing?!”

“Xiao Xuan! You truly deserve to die!”

“…”

These people were unaware of the internal situation, nor did they realize that the silver-armored expert was already dead and had become a Puppet of the Purple Lotus. In their eyes, Xiao Fan had simply murdered him.

Xiao Fan ignored them. He looked at the Purple Lotus and sneered, “Be a good girl and obey, do you hear me?!”

The Purple Lotus was terrified. It hadn't expected the man before it to be so strong and immediately tried to flee…

But in front of Xiao Fan, how could the Purple Lotus be allowed to escape?!

Xiao Fan unleashed his Hongmeng Human King Body. The power from his Bloodline directly suppressed the Purple Lotus, making it impossible for it to break free.

Because the Purple Lotus had been releasing purple Qi earlier, Sha Mushi and the others didn't notice anything unusual or sense anything wrong.

“Hehe… Obey, understand?” Xiao Fan approached the Purple Lotus, reached out to Seal it, and then stored it inside the star chart.

Once the Purple Lotus was suppressed by Xiao Fan, the surrounding purple Qi vanished instantly…

In Xiao Fan's view, even the previous Ghost Lord likely didn't understand the Purple Lotus's value, which was why he hadn't taken it, or perhaps he had been unable to take it at the time.

After all, to this day, the only person Xiao Fan knew who possessed the Hongmeng Body was himself…

Seeing the purple Qi dissipate, Sha Mushi and the others exchanged looks and immediately approached Xiao Fan.

They looked at Xiao Fan with eyes full of shock, not expecting him to actually subdue the Purple Lotus.

“Xiao Xuan! You… you actually killed Zu Dan! You killed a companion!” someone spoke through gritted teeth.

The 'Zu Dan' he mentioned was the silver-armored expert Xiao Fan had just killed.

The others also began to angrily denounce Xiao Fan, calling him a cold-blooded and heartless murderer of his own comrades.

“Lady Sha! We absolutely cannot forgive him!!”

“Exactly! Lady Sha, give the order! We'll suppress him!”

“Lady Sha, keeping someone like this around will only lead to trouble later! We must eliminate him early!”

“…”

Almost everyone spoke up, hoping Sha Mushi would order Xiao Fan's death.

In their eyes, Xiao Fan saw greed. There was no doubt they wanted the Purple Lotus he had just seized.

Xiao Fan recognized many of these people; back when he was Wei Zhongshan, he was a formidable figure in the Ghost Mansion whom everyone feared. And yet now…

Xiao Fan shook his head helplessly. Unless it was absolutely necessary, he didn't want to kill these people.

“Didn't you see just now? Zu Dan attacked me first. He was already being controlled, and his Divine Soul was already dead…” Xiao Fan sighed and explained what had happened.

“Lies! It must be a lie!”

“Exactly! Zu Dan was at the Ninth Layer of Pseudo-Emperor Realm! A powerhouse at the Half-step True Emperor Realm! How could he die so easily?!”

“That's right! Zu Dan is dead! Why are you perfectly fine?!”

“It must be that Zu Dan had just controlled the Purple Lotus and realized you wanted to steal it! That's why Zu Dan attacked you! And then you killed him!”

“Yes, yes… it must be like that! There's no mistake!”

“…”
