The second senior sister put on a fierce look, humming incessantly. In front of her stood four tall and mighty wild boars!
This made the three people on the opposite side a little nervous. They had already experienced the power of this group of wild boars before. These were not a bunch of stupid wild boars. This group of guys had intelligence and knew what cooperation meant. Moreover, there were still an unknown number of venomous snakes hidden in the surrounding trees.
"Who are you!?" Suddenly, a voice came over.
The three people were stunned, because they only heard the sound but saw no one.
"Who are you! Come out if you dare!" The three looked around, still seeing no one. The woman suddenly asked.
Whoosh... A figure appeared behind the second senior sister, looking at the three people in front of him with a faint expression.
Two men and one woman, all around thirty years old, dressed in neat and tidy combat attire. The sharp blades in their hands were neither sabers nor swords, nor daggers. They were semi-circular blades.
"Half-moon sabers! People from the Zhuge family! No wonder you can reach the Qi realm at such a young age." Lu Fan nodded. The weapons in the hands of the three people were the same as those seen in the book "Six Great Hidden Families." The head of the six great families, the Zhuge family!
"You... Who are you? How do you know our Zhuge family?" The woman on the opposite side was suddenly shocked. She didn't expect such a young man in his early twenties to know about a hidden family like the Zhuge family. How was this possible?
"The Zhuge family lives in seclusion, never interfering in the affairs of the martial world. Why are you here?" Lu Fan asked back, not answering the other party's question.
"It seems... you are the Lu Fan who impersonated the recruitment envoy and extorted money from various families?" Another man suddenly said, his eyes narrowing.
"You guessed right!" Lu Fan said faintly.
"Alright! We didn't know this was your territory, Lu Fan. Please forgive us for trespassing. We'll take our leave." Another man said, also slightly surprised, cupping his fists.
"Trespassing? I'm afraid it's not that coincidental, is it? Hidden families have stayed out of the martial world for a hundred years. Today, you trespassed into our little-known place, and you tell me it was an accidental intrusion? Humph!" Lu Fan snorted coldly, truly taking himself for a child.
"Kid! Don't think you can act recklessly in the martial world, swindling and extorting everywhere, and talk to us like this. Believe it or not, I, Zhuge Xian, will beat you black and blue!" The woman suddenly pointed her half-moon saber at Lu Fan and said fiercely.
"Tch! Zhuge Xian! You've only just entered the Qi realm, and you're already so arrogant! I think you've been too isolated for too long, and you've become a bit of a frog in a well!" Lu Fan curled his lips and said.
"Kid! Today I'll teach you a good lesson and curb your arrogance." Zhuge Xian waved her half-moon saber and charged towards Lu Fan.
The second senior sister immediately flapped her large ears, as if about to let her little brothers charge forward.
"Second senior sister! Don't worry, leave it to me!" Lu Fan patted the second senior sister's large ears, and she indeed stopped moving.
Whoosh... Lu Fan suddenly produced a Falling Blossom Sword in his hand, and with a swish... he met Zhuge Xian.
Clang clang clang... Immediately, there was a sound of weapons clashing. The two began to fight.
Swish swish swish... After more than ten exchanges, Lu Fan found that the Zhuge family's half-moon saber techniques were indeed strange and unpredictable, and Zhuge Xian's dual-wielding saber skills were exceptionally proficient, her movements flowing from top to bottom, making it impossible to guard against. As expected of a hidden family, they were indeed not comparable to ordinary families.
"You're using the Falling Blossom Swordplay? You've inherited the legacy of the Luoyan Sect!" Suddenly, Zhuge Xian stopped her saber and asked sternly.
"You do have some knowledge. You actually recognize the Falling Blossom Swordplay!" Lu Fan was slightly stunned in his heart, but he didn't spare any words on his tongue.
"Hmph! Since you've inherited the legacy of the Luoyan Sect, hand over the item. Otherwise, you won't be able to leave!" Zhuge Xian suddenly said.
"What item?" Lu Fan was stunned and asked.
"Don't play dumb with us. It's a book about our hidden families! It was stolen by a slovenly old Taoist from your Luoyan Sect. Hand it over now, and we can let bygones be bygones. If you don't, hmph!" Zhuge Xian said angrily.
"Heh! Slovenly old Taoist!" Lu Fan suddenly laughed. He didn't expect that the slovenly old Taoist, who had disappeared for some time, had actually gone to the Zhuge family to steal something! However, was such a book really necessary? Tch!
"The slovenly old Taoist stole your things, so go find him. I didn't steal your things!" Lu Fan said, curling his lips.
"Hmph! You asked for it!" Zhuge Xian immediately charged towards Lu Fan again. She really had a fiery temper.
"You are no match for me. You should all attack together!" Lu Fan blocked Zhuge Xian's attacks with his sword, saying disdainfully.
"Hmph! Arrogant fellow, defeat me first." Zhuge Xian's half-moon saber flew towards Lu Fan, each strike faster than the last.
Snap... Suddenly, Lu Fan in front of her disappeared, and Zhuge Xian heard a snap. Then she felt a sharp pain in her back.
"I told you, you are no match for me." Lu Fan stood behind Zhuge Xian and shrugged.
"You..." Zhuge Xian looked at the sword in Lu Fan's hand. He had hit her with the sword. If it had been a chop, slash, or stab... it seemed she had truly lost!
"Beat him together!" Zhuge Xian shouted to the two people beside her.
Whoosh... The three of them attacked Lu Fan simultaneously.
Clang clang clang... Immediately, there was another clanging sound. However, it quickly stopped. Zhuge Xian and the other two were all frozen in place, their acupoints sealed, rendering them unable to move.
"I originally wanted to kill you, but there was no good reason. However, I couldn't let you go either, because I don't know who you are. How about this... you can wait here to die slowly. This doesn't count as me killing you!" Lu Fan said, looking at the three people and smacking his lips.
A moment later, the mouths of the three people were sealed with tape, and then Lu Fan moved them into the stone cave, all standing against the stone wall, like stone statues.
"This is the Luoyan Sect. It's not a loss to die here. Calm down and wait... it should take about seven or eight days." Lu Fan said, then turned and left.
Zhuge Xian and the other two looked at each other, anxious but helpless. They couldn't move at all, and they couldn't even speak.
"This brat! You took the book and left the mess for me! If people from the Zhuge family die here, it'll be a disaster! These people can't die!" As soon as Lu Fan left, a voice came over. The slovenly old Taoist emerged from the side of the stone wall as if performing magic, looking at the three people from the Zhuge family.
