Despite Huang Wandi's formidable strength, strong enough to make everyone believe that his death was inevitable, in this game, it was Xu Fan who ultimately won!

The process was incredibly dangerous, for if Huang Wandi were enraged, Xu Fan would meet a tragic end. Yet, Xu Fan was well aware that Huang Wandi would have to yield.

In Huang Wandi's eyes, and even in Xu Fan's own view, being in the Huang Family meant certain death for him! If death was certain, why should the Huang Family sacrifice the remaining four members?

As the Family Head of the Huang Family, well-versed in the art of strategy, it was impossible for him to make a mistake in such a straightforward choice.

Thus, Xu Fan won and finally earned the right to meet Xia Xiaodie.

Although Xu Fan's eventual fate was still certain death, this step was taken with great resolve!

"The conditions proposed by the Family Head of the Huang Family are good, but asking me to lift the Gu Poison is impossible! The character of the Family Head of the Huang Family simply does not assure me."

Though he won the game, Xu Fan would not make a mistake at the last step.

Though the Jade Silkworm acted silently, once Huang Wandi separated the remaining four members of the Huang Family, Xu Fan's leverage was greatly diminished. Xu Fan was gambling—gambling on Huang Wandi's confidence in his own assessment!

Huang Wandi, as a strong practitioner of the Zhiwei Realm, was indeed quite confident in his judgment; he had already surveyed the conditions of the four members of the Huang Family, seeing no sign of abnormality. Their deaths were swift and clean, indicative of an extremely high-grade Gu Poison!

Gu Poison is tremendously mysterious. While the ordinary varieties are manageable, high-grade Gu Poison leaves even the Huang Family utterly helpless.

Therefore, Huang Wandi did not expect Xu Fan to be bluffing. Upon hearing Xu Fan's words, he was filled with anger but was helpless.

Earlier, when facing the crowd, Huang Wandi had indeed uttered many shameless words in an attempt to kill Xu Fan. Therefore, he could not refute Xu Fan's mockery.

With a cold snort, Huang Wandi suppressed his anger, "Oh? Do you have a better choice?"

Faced with Huang Wandi's promise, Xu Fan could only choose to trust the character of Huang Wandi. If, after retrieving the Jade Silkworm, Huang Wandi chose to break his word and attacked Xu Fan, Xu Fan would have no chance of survival!

Before a strong practitioner of the Zhiwei Realm, all tactics are as fragile as paper.

However, Xu Fan turned around and looked toward Arthur, who felt anxious, suspecting Xu Fan intended to settle scores posthumously, and his face showed some shame.

Yet Xu Fan's action astounded Arthur, for Xu Fan seemed to hold no grudge against Arthur for failing to rescue him. Xu Fan greeted Arthur with a bow, his eyes filled with a serene calm.

"Senior Arthur, could you act as a witness?"

"In return, I promise Mr. Arthur that I shall sever all ties with Avril."

Xu Fan's demeanor was courteous, and his dark eyes, as calm as a lake, made Arthur feel even more ashamed.

But Arthur did not regret his decision; alone, Arthur surely would have helped, but representing the Forces of Light and accompanied by Avril, Arthur would not risk Avril's safety for Xu Fan's sake.

Now, facing the courteous Xu Fan, Arthur's icy facade finally melted, and he nodded to Xu Fan.

"Since the Family Head of the Huang Family has made a promise and if he attacks you before the wedding begins, I certainly won't stand idle."

To Arthur, figuring that Xu Fan was doomed regardless, aiding him once both relieved Arthur's shame and could help mend relations with Avril in the future.

Arthur, one of the strong practitioners of the Zhiwei Realm present, lent his considerable weight to his promise, to which Huang Wandi merely coldly snorted without speaking further.

After expressing gratitude, Xu Fan looked once more toward the direction of the old monk.

"Senior, could you also act as a witness?"

"In return, should I survive today, I vow to come to the Buddhist Sect's aid in times of trouble, and in any conflict, I will yield by three li!"

Xu Fan was not familiar with the old monk, and these terms were already the fullest extent Xu Fan could offer. Whether the old monk would agree, Xu Fan was uncertain.

Yet Huang Wandi scoffed outright, "What kind of condition is this? Not to mention whether you can survive today, even if you live to see the future, an entering Dao Realm junior, which member of the Buddhist Sect isn't stronger than you? What help can you offer?"

At this moment, Xu Fan ceased to endure and, facing Huang Wandi's mockery, coldly glanced at him, "Should I live through today, I will surely annihilate the Huang Family!"

"You!" Huang Wandi's eyes narrowed, and an overwhelming killing intent surged, just about to strike Xu Fan, when the old monk's voice finally sounded.

"The Buddhist Sect advocates kindness; saving a life is better than building a seven-tier pagoda! Though I cannot save your life, I can certainly act as a witness."

Huang Wandi's gaze was chillingly fierce.

Having been repressing their own astonishment, the crowd now erupted with noise following the old monk's declaration.

Once Huang Wandi descended, everyone believed Xu Fan would be simply crushed by him!

But unexpectedly, Xu Fan used the Gu Poison to force Huang Wandi into compromise, extending his own life until after the wedding and securing the commitments of two Zhiwei Realm practitioners to prevent Huang Wandi from attacking.

Though Xu Fan was still doomed to die, in another sense, Xu Fan had already achieved a decisive victory in his confrontation with Huang Wandi!

"If this boy survives today, he will surely soar, and he will undoubtedly hold a place in the Cultivation World in the future!"

However, there were still those who dismissed Xu Fan's actions, saying, "An insignificant entering Dao talent provoking strong Zhiwei Realm practitioners repeatedly—such outstanding talent is destined to perish prematurely!"

Voices clamored in a cacophony of discussion.

Yet Xu Fan stood in the center of the field in proud solitude, his clothes torn, but his gaze unwavering, distinctly set apart from the rest.

With a cold snort, Huang Wandi lifted the Domain, causing Gongsun Qin to fall, as if she had endured a thousand swords piercing her body; Gongsun Qin was now reduced to a bloody figure.

Xu Fan cradled Gongsun Qin in his arms, his eyes chillingly fierce.

"Ah!"

Huang Siyuan's screams rang out, his body convulsing, and blood trickled from his mouth and nose.

"Rascal! You're seeking death!"

With a grim expression, Huang Wandi roared, about to strike Xu Fan, when a dim yellow light and the white Holy Light simultaneously rose.
