Another one?

Upon hearing Zhou Shi'nian's words, Xu Fan became extremely solemn.

The Huang Family originally might have a strong figure in the Zhiwei Realm, and now there appeared two more Zhiwei Realm figures with unclear stances. If these two Zhiwei Realm figures assist the Huang Family at the crucial moment, the chance of Xu Fan rescuing Xia Xiaodie would approach zero!

At this moment, Zhou Shi'nian pointed to the other side of the banquet and introduced Xu Fan, "That middle-aged man with golden hair is Arthur of the Forces of Light, also considered a veteran Zhiwei Realm figure. Though his achievements have never been revealed, his strength is not to be underestimated."

Arthur is here too?

Xu Fan was startled when he heard this and turned his head to look in the direction Zhou Shi'nian indicated.

The Huang Family's banquet was huge, with at least a thousand guests inside. If Zhou Shi'nian hadn't pointed him out, Xu Fan would almost have failed to recognize Arthur's appearance.

The last time Xu Fan met Arthur, Arthur had dressed quite casually despite his gentlemanly demeanor. But today, Arthur's attire was much like that of an ancient knight, complete with a sword and formal wear, sitting there with an exceedingly reliable aura.

Beside Arthur, a girl as pure and flawless as a lotus was staring around at the surrounding cultivators with big sky-blue eyes, looking rather elfish, seemingly searching for someone.

That girl was Avril, who had spent some time with Xu Fan!

Why is she here too?

Xu Fan frowned slightly but soon felt relieved.

Xu Fan had originally planned to coax Avril into attending the Huang Family wedding, thus creating some variability using Avril's identity. But after Arthur took Avril away, Xu Fan did not really want her to come.

Today's Huang Family wedding was certainly going to be a bloody storm stirred up by himself. Xu Fan was somewhat worried that Avril might stand out, taking on the risk along with him.

However, having Arthur there as protection should ensure Avril's safety without a hitch.

At this point, Zhou Shi'nian interrupted Xu Fan's thoughts, "Yu Fan, these are merely the known Zhiwei Realm figures. Does the Huang Family have hidden Zhiwei Realm figures or not? One? Or two? It's been so many years and now nobody can say for sure, and moreover..."

At this juncture, Zhou Shi'nian deliberately stopped speaking, leaving Xu Fan hanging.

Xu Fan shook his head and asked Zhou Shi'nian, "Moreover what?"

At this moment, Zhou Shi'nian showed Xu Fan a smile, "Yu Daoist, I've already introduced so many masters to you and my identity is also now revealed to you. I believe you can feel my sincerity."

"Shouldn't Yu Daoist share some of your purpose with me as well?"

Zhou Shi'nian was merely curious about Xu Fan's purpose, and if Xu Fan's words didn't satisfy Zhou Shi'nian's curiosity or disappointed Zhou Shi'nian, he would quickly abandon the conversation with Xu Fan.

At this point, Xu Fan slightly squinted his eyes, staring into Zhou Shi'nian's eyes. For some reason, an extremely dangerous feeling suddenly arose within Zhou Shi'nian, and Xu Fan's next words made Zhou Shi'nian's hair stand on end, nearly making him jump!

"My purpose? There's no harm in speaking of it! Today, invited by the Huang Family's young master, I am here at the Huang Family to take the life of that young master!"

Xu Fan's voice wasn't loud, but once said, it was drowned out in the clatter of voices, yet it fell into Zhou Shi'nian's ears like a thunderous explosion.

A mere Entering Dao Realm Peak younger generation wants to take the life of that Huang Family young master in a place teeming with masters, in a world cultivator exchange meeting full of powerful figures?

That would be akin to committing suicide!

However, when Xu Fan said this, his expression was incredibly serious, and although his voice wasn't loud, it was firm and unequivocal, filled with an undeniable intent.

"You—you are the legendary Xu Fan?"

Zhou Shi'nian had arrived in Luocheng long ago, and naturally was clear about the Huang Family's actions these days. His mind quickly deduced Xu Fan's identity from what Xu Fan said.

"The Huang Family is clearly intentionally provoking you, and you really dare to come!"

Zhou Shi'nian looked at Xu Fan, his expression carrying bits of shock, regret, and admiration.

Although Zhou Shi'nian was unclear about the specific matters between Xu Fan and the Huang Family, he was already filled with admiration towards Xu Fan. Such a Dragon Pool and Tiger's Den, not to mention a backer who had not yet truly stepped into the cultivation threshold like the Entering Dao Realm, even a mighty one in the Vajra Realm wouldn't dare to wade into the Huang Family's troubles!

The Huang Family today had laid out such an arrangement that even a Zhiwei Realm figure, without substantial force backing, couldn't slay the Huang Family young master and escape unharmed.

Clearly, Xu Fan had come to face death!

Although Zhou Shi'nian did not endorse Xu Fan's actions, he nevertheless admired Xu Fan's courage—it takes a man to do this!

Sadly, after today, there might never again be someone like Xu Fan...

At this moment, Xu Fan looked at Zhou Shi'nian, who was in shock, with an inscrutable gaze, while spiritual power subtly surged within him. If Zhou Shi'nian intended to reveal his identity, Xu Fan could launch a thunderous strike and kill Zhou Shi'nian directly!

Xu Fan disclosed his identity straightforwardly because he knew that if he waffled, it would only arouse suspicion. Better to speak out directly. From Zhou Shi'nian's earlier behavior, Xu Fan had discerned that Zhou Shi'nian was indeed a clever person.

Since he is clever, he definitely wouldn't do something foolish.

Just as Xu Fan expected, Zhou Shi'nian, recovering from his shock, showed no intention to leave.

Zhou Shi'nian gazed at Xu Fan, full of appreciation, and lowered his voice to speak to Xu Fan, "Xu Daoist, since you trust me enough to tell me these things without reservation, I won't be treating you as an outsider!"

"From what I know, Xu Daoist should be under twenty, right? At such a youthful age, at the Entering Dao Peak—you have the potential for great pride! But potential is only potential; before it turns into strength, you must bear humiliation and heavy burdens!"

"I really admire Xu Daoist's courage, and therefore wish to deliver an invitation to you. If Xu Daoist can hold back from acting at this banquet and follow me back to my country after it concludes, I can allow Xu Daoist to enter Vajra Realm within a year and step into Zhiwei Realm within ten years!"
