"Bronze Box?"

Xu Fan's eyes narrowed slightly as he nodded toward Xia Hengzhou, "I remember."

Of course Xu Fan remembered the matter of the Bronze Box. The reason Xia Hengzhou had become the masked man from the Xia Family Head, even not acknowledging Xia Yanyu and Xia xiaodie for decades, all traced back to that Bronze Box from years ago.

Moreover, at that time in Diannan, he had personally obtained a Bronze Box, although it was later snatched away by Xia Hengzhou.

What secret exactly does that Bronze Box hide? Why did Xiao Tianfang attract a large number of experts' pursuit?

Xu Fan had speculated before, but ultimately all thoughts didn't have time to be verified. Now surprisingly, it was Xia Hengzhou who took the initiative to bring up this issue.

Apparently, Xia Hengzhou had also remembered the past, a flicker of pain crossing his face before quickly regaining his clarity and calm.

"Back then, I wasn't clear on what secret the box hid until I went incognito and investigated everywhere, and learned of a rumor."

"The rumor says there are nine Bronze Boxes, things passed down after the fall of the Mo Family. It's said they contain a broken map, and gathering all nine boxes gives a complete map, leading to the Mo Family's ancestral land."

Xu Fan felt a strange sense rising within him, not about Xia Hengzhou's words, but about Xia Hengzhou's attitude.

Saying these secrets are precious, they're not immensely so, yet saying they're worthless, even the richest might not get such information.

At this crucial point, why would Xia Hengzhou choose to tell him these things?

Xu Fan contemplated; if he were Xia Hengzhou, he would wait three days until he brought back Xia Xiaodie before calmly narrating these things.

In other words, with Xia Hengzhou telling him now, if he couldn't come out of the Huang Family in three days, wouldn't it all be pointless?

Even with confidence like Xu Fan, he knew the chances of walking out of the Huang Family in three days were very low.

Xia Hengzhou didn't pay attention to Xu Fan's slightly puzzled gaze and continued explaining to Xu Fan, "The Mo Family's ancestral land, rumored to have treasures collected by Mo Family leaders over the generations, even including the soon-to-be-completed Heaven-reaching Mechanical Warrior."

"After the news spread, some suspected it was a trap. Last time, during the Mo Family's siege, the Cultivation World suffered heavy losses, so many chose to withdraw. But some persisted tirelessly in searching for the Bronze Box."

Xu Fan nodded; last time the Bronze Box appeared, Xu Fan personally went to fight for it, although Xia Hengzhou ultimately took it, he hadn't seen many experts then.

It seemed that after the last incident, real major families and forces had learned to stay calm.

Those coming to snatch the Bronze Box were merely small figures acting as cannon fodder.

Seeing Xu Fan's thoughts, Xia Hengzhou chuckled, "Don't blame me, young Xu; the Bronze Box isn't something you can handle with your strength."

Given the situation, Xu Fan obviously wouldn't bother with Xia Hengzhou over past events, so he asked, "So, have all the Bronze Boxes appeared now?"

Xia Hengzhou shook his head, "Only five have appeared now, four remain unknown. Once those four boxes emerge, they'll surely stir a bloody storm across the Cultivation World."

"For you, it's an opportunity."

Hearing this, Xu Fan hesitated slightly; what did a bloody storm have to do with him?

"Oh? An opportunity for me? What do you mean?"

Xia Hengzhou looked deeply at Xu Fan, "Do you think three days from now, when you go to the Huang Family, how sure are you of bringing Xiaodie back?"

Xu Fan answered without hesitation, "Thirty percent!"

"Thirty percent?" Xia Hengzhou clearly didn't believe Xu Fan's answer, even scoffing at it.

"Do you think with your Late Stage Entering Dao Realm, facing five Vajra Realm experts, plus various allies from the Huang Family, you still have thirty percent confidence?"

Xu Fan nodded, his sharp gaze undiminished by Xia Hengzhou's doubt, and answered without hesitation, "I believe at least thirty percent!"

Xu Fan wasn't bragging; if the Huang Family had only five Vajra Realm experts, Xu Fan could control Mechanical Warriors to hold back three and fight two himself, at least staving off the Huang Family's attacks.

Xu Fan didn't need to eliminate all five Vajra experts; he just needed to break out with Xia Xiaodie.

Of course, the Huang Family had allies, like the Dark Forces, but Xu Fan had the Jade Silkworm, nemesis to the Blood Clan, and brought Avril, the wildcard. He had at least thirty percent chance of getting Xia Xiaodie out!

Unfortunately, Xia Hengzhou didn't believe Xu Fan's resolute thirty percent confidence but sighed and patted Xu Fan's shoulder.

"Young Xu, we're old acquaintances; you call me father-in-law, I call you young Xu, I've never treated you as an outsider."

"So, for the Huang Family wedding three days later, I don't want you to go."

This left Xu Fan completely stunned.

As Xia Xiaodie's father, with Xia Xiaodie abducted by the Huang Family to marry into them, saying Xia Hengzhou didn't care would be a lie.

But Xia Hengzhou's identity, his decades of ambition and planning, determined he couldn't personally intervene, leaving Xu Fan as his only choice.

Yet now, Xia Hengzhou chose to dissuade him, not wanting him to attend the Huang Family wedding. How could this not shock and confuse Xu Fan?

Xu Fan's face was gradually turning cold as he looked at Xia Hengzhou, his eyes full of doubt.

Despite Xia Hengzhou's words, Xu Fan still didn't believe he had no feelings for his biological daughter.

Xia Hengzhou gazed at Xu Fan with utter calm.

The marriage between Xia Xiaodie and the Huang Family was orchestrated by him, not to ally with the Huang Family but to overturn their ship through Xu Fan.

His current identity wasn't suitable for appearing.

And now, what he said to Xu Fan was just to provoke him; behind the scenes, Xia Hengzhou had a master move ready, waiting for Xu Fan to storm the Huang Family three days later and then unleash it all...

Facing Xu Fan's sharp gaze, Xia Hengzhou advised, "Xu Fan, you're still young, and with the emergence of the Bronze Box, the Cultivation World globally is due for a cleansing. If you can seize the opportunity, with your talents, entering the Vajra Realm, or even Zhiwei Realm, is not out of the question."

"By then, what is the Huang Family? You can easily take Xiaodie back then."

"What you're lacking now is just time and an opportunity of fate!"

Faced with Xia Hengzhou's earnest persuasion, Xu Fan coldly smiled, turned, and walked out of the room.

Ignorant of the deceptive path.

Watching Xu Fan's retreating back, Xia Hengzhou's lips curled into a confident smile.
