As the old monk's voice echoed, the entire Huang Family's hall was filled with gasps.

Why did the appearance of the undead cause two Zhiwei Realm cultivators to suddenly change their stance, willing to offend the Huang Family just to forcefully protect this Xu Fan?

What kind of existence is this Li Nantian? Could he possibly have more influence than the Huang Family?

Everyone remembered the undead's past glory as the second on the Earth List but were unaware of the forces backing him now. Thus, they attributed the shift in attitude of the two Zhiwei Realm cultivators to the force behind the undead.

However, the reason the old monk stood out to express his stance wasn't just because of the undead's background but mainly because of Xu Fan himself.

The golden light that suddenly emerged from Xu Fan's body was undoubtedly a Buddhist relic!

If Xu Fan dies, the relic will perish!

Every relic in the Buddhist Sect is incredibly precious, and throughout the thousands of years of Buddhist history, only a handful of people have integrated the relics into their bodies. Each of them was an unparalleled genius of their time, a super strong being who controlled the era's power dynamics!

With the appearance of the undead and others, the situation on the scene quietly changed. Xu Fan was no longer in a certain death scenario, and the old monk naturally wouldn't mind offering timely help, aiding Xu Fan at this critical moment, ensuring the rise of a future super strong being.

At this moment, Huang Wandi's face was so gloomy it was as if water could drip from it!

If it were only Arthur, Huang Wandi would still have the courage to confront him and then have the eight barons forcefully slay Xu Fan. But with the old monk stepping forward, Huang Wandi knew he no longer had any chance.

It was not just an overwhelming gap in strength; even the backing forces were far superior!

Huang Wandi dared to offend the Forces of Light because the Huang Family had always been friendly with the Dark Forces, destined to stand in opposition to the Forces of Light. But when facing the Buddhist Sect, the Huang Family had no courage to contend at all.

Bam!

At this moment, the battle in the sky finally concluded. Two streaks of luminous figures clashed and then separated, reaching a tacit agreement to stop at the same time and landed in the Huang Family hall.

Everyone simultaneously gazed at the two, eager for the battle between Zhiwei Realm cultivators, which are quite rare.

However, they were slightly disappointed to find that neither seemed to have used their full strength, or rather, neither seemed to have any intention of fighting to the bitter end here. Their clothes remained intact, and they bore no injuries.

Both had indeed held back, especially after probing each other's strength and finding not much difference; unless all cards were laid out, neither could defeat the other quickly.

The situation below was already clear, and further fighting between the two had lost its meaning.

"Li Nantian, second on the Earth List, truly lives up to the reputation." Even though standing on opposite sides, Marquis Harden couldn't help but acknowledge the formidable strength of the undead.

"Likewise, as the marquis most likely to be promoted to a duke, Marquis Harden's strength is notable."

In their conversation, the undead seemed very familiar with Marquis Harden, which displeased the latter because, besides the earlier experiences, he knew nothing about the undead. Yet, in front of the undead, it was as if he was transparent, without secrets.

"Li Nantian, let's not beat around the bush. In America, you are the guest, and we are the host. As a guest, your disciple not only thoroughly wrecked this exchange conference but also killed my avatar."

"How do you plan to settle this account?"

Marquis Harden seemed oblivious to the current situation, still conversing with strong confidence, which made the undead frown slightly.

"From a moral standpoint, your avatar was killed because you were pursuing my disciple and died. This conference can continue after we leave; your logic doesn't hold."

"From a strength perspective, you have two Zhiwei Realm cultivators, while we have three! Are you sure you want us to settle accounts?"

The undead finished speaking, glaring at Marquis Harden, who surely was no fool. Saying such things at this time evidently showed confidence, making the undead a bit uneasy.

Hahaha!

Marquis Harden burst into laughter, "Morality? So-called morality is merely a weapon the weak use to constrain the strong! Both of us are cultivators; there's no need to hide our intentions. In the cultivation world, the thing that decides fate has always been strength!"

The undead raised an eyebrow, asking Marquis Harden, "Oh? Do you think you can take on three by yourself?"

The undead didn't even consider Huang Wandi because he was absolutely sure that as long as he was present, Huang Wandi wouldn't dare make a move!

Marquis Harden shook his head, dropping the pretense and firmly stating, "You seem to have forgotten this is the West, especially at the headquarters of my Dark Forces! As long as I send out the word, the Dark Forces can surround this place instantly!"

"Within the Dark Forces, I am merely a marquis!"

Marquis Harden's words made everyone present furrow their brows.

Marquis Harden came to the Huang Family with eight barons, which was justifiable as it was a global cultivator exchange. But now, Marquis Harden resorted to using the Dark Forces to threaten the undead.

This had already crossed the line!

The West was indeed their home ground, but precisely because of that, once Marquis Harden pulled such a stunt, the conference would no longer be viable, and relationships among the global cultivation forces would certainly plummet to freezing points!

The undead's face turned equally cold, addressing Marquis Harden icily, "Does the Dark Forces intend to provoke a war between the Eastern and Western cultivation worlds?"

The undead's words made Marquis Harden's eyes narrow slightly.

To speak such words, it was evident that the undead's position in the East must also be extremely high!

However, Marquis Harden didn't believe that merely killing one Xu Fan would trigger a war between the Eastern and Western cultivation worlds, so he just wouldn't touch the undead!

From start to finish, Marquis Harden's target was only Xu Fan!

Now, Marquis Harden's eyes shifted, suggesting, "You want to leave, which is not impossible, but letting you go like this would not only disgrace the Huang Family but also cause me, Marquis Harden, a total loss of face."

With that, Marquis Harden fixed his gaze on Xu Fan, "Kid! You started this, so if you take three moves from me, I'll let you all go. How about that?"
