After the patriarchs of the six great families finished their explanations, Lu Fan understood. Han Shixuan could also be said to be an organization that originated from this world and transcended it, with the purpose of defending the peace of this world. It comprised Soul Realm powerhouses from all over the world.
Now, these people had united to resent China and suppress its people everywhere. The Shadow Organization seemed to be an organization controlled by people within Han Shixuan. Their goal was likely to rule the world. Coincidentally, he had just annihilated dozens of members of the Shadow Organization, disrupting their plans.
"Wait a minute! Han Shixuan was founded to defend world peace. Are there really evil organizations similar to Han Shixuan?" Lu Fan's heart suddenly moved, and he stopped them from speaking to ask.
The patriarchs of the six great families immediately exchanged glances, seeming to hesitate. Then, Zhuge Qingyun said, "Actually, there are more Soul Realm powerhouses than just these. Soul Realm powerhouses exist in every corner of the world. However, they are unwilling to join this organization and only wish to cultivate in seclusion to become immortals.
Of course, there are also ambitious individuals who want to covet the world's wealth or women. That is why Han Shixuan was born. It's just that, looking at it now, Han Shixuan itself harbors truly ambitious Soul Realm powerhouses."
"So, that means Soul Realm powerhouses haven't truly become immortals yet, they are false immortals. Humph! Does China have such people?" Lu Fan asked, his eyes lighting up.
"Uh... of course! Over countless years, although the martial arts sects of China have all disappeared, they have not truly vanished. For example, True Master Yiqing of Mount Wudang, Daoist Haidu of Putuo Mountain, Old Nun Suzhen of Mount Emei, and Yuanshi Zi of Kunlun Mountain.
There are also legends of the three immortal mountains, Penglai, Yingzhou, and Fangzhang, where true immortals reside since ancient times. It's just that no one has been able to find them for countless years," Zhan Tai Fengyi said with a hint of embarrassment, while inwardly grumbling: False immortals? Humph! We still can't afford to offend them! This kid's tone is too arrogant! m..oΓg
"Right! Hua Thirty-Five, let me introduce you. These are the patriarchs of the six great families: Mu Zhanying, Baili Xuan, Murong Yun, Gongsun Xuhong, and Zhan Tai Fengyi!" At this moment, Zhuge Qingyun suddenly remembered that he hadn't introduced everyone to Lu Fan and quickly stepped forward to say.
"Patriarch Zhantai..." Lu Fan couldn't help but look at Zhan Tai Fengyi again! Could this fellow have some connection with Zhan Tai Ruomei? Could he also have innate hypnosis?
"Hua Thirty-Five, we originally invited you here to entrust the young talents of our clans to your Second Hua Rong Mansion. Then, we old fellows could freely act and do things for China. However, we didn't expect such a matter to suddenly arise. I'm afraid that old fellow from the Duanmu family won't let this go easily!" Zhuge Qingyun suddenly said, looking at the corpse of Duanmu Qingrong.
"Yes! Duanmu Qingrong is a genius of the Duanmu family and is highly favored by the Duanmu Ancestor. That's why he was specifically appointed as a Xuanmen Envoy, to let the world know that he is from Han Shixuan and to ensure his safety," Baili Xuan added from the side.
Pfft... Lu Fan immediately burst out laughing, "He's a genius of the Duanmu family? Humph!"
"That's because your strength is too great, not because he is too weak. He entered the Transformation Realm over a year ago. Among his peers... alright, forget I said anything." Gongsun Xuhong wanted to say that he was already invincible among his peers. But looking at Lu Fan, this kid was only in his early twenties, and he swallowed his words.
"Then... how long can you last against the ancestor of the Duanmu family?" Lu Fan asked again.
"Barely three moves!" Zhuge Qingyun thought for a moment and said.
"Humph! Nothing special!" Lu Fan sneered. If he wanted to kill them now, it probably wouldn't take more than three moves. Soul Realm! Humph!
"Patriarchs, could you introduce me to your respective ancestors?" Lu Fan suddenly asked.
"Alas! The ancestors are all in Han Shixuan. Originally, they were all in the Duanmu branch in China. However, they have now been transferred to other branches separately, precisely to prevent them from having the opportunity to join forces and to weaken their influence.
As for that old fellow, the Duanmu ancestor, he colludes with those foreigners and specializes in harming China's powerhouses. That's why we used Hua Rong Mansion to gather all the Transformation Realm powerhouses and protect them. The reason our six great families and Hua Rong Mansion do not participate in too many secular affairs is also to avoid giving that old Duanmu fellow an excuse to attack us," Zhuge Qingyun suddenly sighed.
"So that's how it is!" Lu Fan nodded. It seemed he had truly misunderstood the six great families and Hua Rong Mansion before. He thought these old guys were really too old to move.
"Alright! Then I'll go and visit this Duanmu branch!" Lu Fan said, then turned and picked up Duanmu Qingrong's corpse, throwing it into his storage ring. There were already three Zombie Gu inside, so one more corpse wouldn't matter. Humph! He would refine this guy into a Zombie Gu later; he would surely be a powerhouse.
"Lu Fan! You can't go! If you must go, you should have a few Soul Realm powerhouses accompany you. How about we go to Mount Wudang?" Zhuge Xian suddenly came over and stopped Lu Fan.
"Yes! That's a good idea!" Zhan Tai Fengyi also said, "If you can rally those hidden Soul Realm experts, you might have a chance of success against that old Duanmu fellow. We can also conceal the news of Duanmu Qingrong's death here to buy you some time."
"Good! Xian丫头 is right! If we can really invite those hidden experts out of seclusion, that old Duanmu fellow will truly be nothing to fear," Mu Zhanying also said from the side.
"Mount Wudang, Putuo Mountain, Mount Emei, Kunlun Mountain! Then I'll make a trip. I want to see how strong true Soul Realm powerhouses really are!" Lu Fan nodded and immediately walked towards the outside of the mountain.
Zhuge Xian looked back at Zhuge Qingyun, then turned and chased after Lu Fan. This prodigal son was leaving in such a hurry, and she still had many things to say to her father.
"Alas! This child..." Zhuge Qingyun said with a helpless expression. The patriarchs beside him shook their heads slightly, and no one spoke. They all knew that Lu Fan already had a wife, and Zhuge Xian liked Lu Fan so much. This... it was indeed difficult to say anything!
Mount Wudang has been a place of cultivation for immortals since ancient times, with many legends of Taoism from past and present. When Lu Fan and Zhuge Xian arrived at Mount Wudang, it was just past noon. There were many tourists going up and down the mountain. The two followed the crowd to the summit.
Swish... Swish...
Lu Fan's ears twitched slightly. He heard the sound of sweeping from a distance. Although it was just sweeping, each time the broom touched the ground, it seemed to carry a sound of breaking through the air. This surprised Lu Fan.
He looked over and saw an old Daoist priest with a white beard and hair slowly sweeping the ground in front of a not-very-large Daoist temple on the mountainside. Although his speed seemed very slow and gentle, Lu Fan could tell that the moment the broom touched the ground, the fallen leaves around it were moved more than a foot away.
Being able to channel his aura through the broom and release it, this old Daoist priest was extraordinary! Lu Fan's eyes immediately lit up.
