Dragon Martial Sovereign

Lin Fan waved his hand and said, "Speaking about my affairs would take a long time. I'll tell you slowly later. Right, tell me, what has happened on your end? Why have you aged so much now? To be honest, even I find it hard to recognize you."

Hu Feifan said with a wry smile, "The situation on my end is also a long story..."

At this point, Hu Feifan paused briefly before continuing with the tale.

It turns out that a hundred years ago, after Hu Mei'er seized control over other parts of the Holy Soul Domain, she finally extended her reach into the Ten Thousand Mountains.

Because Hu Mei'er wanted to bring the Ten Thousand Mountains under her control as well...

Under Hu Mei'er's support, several cities had secretly pledged allegiance to her.

Hu Mei'er's emissary also approached Hu Feifan, but how could Hu Feifan possibly surrender to Hu Mei'er?

In the end, one day when Hu Feifan was out, he was ambushed. In that battle, Hu Feifan "died" on the spot, but fortunately, his life was not yet fated to end. He was saved by a passerby and, after coming back to life, Hu Feifan no longer dared to show his face.

On Hu Mei'er's side, it seemed she had encountered some setbacks, and afterward, she no longer continued to expand in the Ten Thousand Mountains. Otherwise, at this time, the Ten Thousand Mountains would already be in Hu Mei'er's pocket.

Later on, Hu Feifan was always healing his wounds.

Even now, Hu Feifan's injuries have not recovered and are even becoming more serious. Hu Feifan knew that if not for a stroke of luck, he would not live much longer.

After listening to Hu Feifan's brief account, a boundless rage appeared on Lin Fan.

Lin Fan clenched his fists, his face becoming very unsightly as he said coldly, "Hu Mei'er? Very good, extremely good. You just wait for me!"

Hu Feifan knew Lin Fan was very angry and advised him, "Master, you must not be impulsive now. At this time, Hu Mei'er's power is overwhelming, and moreover, her strength has reached the peak. If she discovers that you are not yet dead, she will definitely try everything to kill you, so..."

Lin Fan nodded and said, "Rest assured, I know all that you've said, and I won't act rashly!"

After hearing Lin Fan's words, Hu Feifan finally felt relieved.

Lin Fan looked at Hu Feifan again and asked, "Your injury, it's not serious, is it?"

Hu Feifan shook his head and said, "Master, although this old servant's injury is quite severe, it's not a big concern. At a critical moment, this old servant can still fight to the death for you."

Lin Fan said, "We need to find a way to heal your injuries."

Hu Feifan said with a bitter smile, "Master need not worry. I know my own injuries; they are certainly irrecoverable. However, to be able to see the master again before death, my heart is already very happy, haha, really very happy!"

At the end, Hu Feifan actually started laughing, and one could tell that he was indeed very happy.

After Hu Feifan finished laughing, Lin Fan said seriously, "No, you cannot die. If I don't let you die, then you can't die. You should know my current situation; in the entire Holy Soul Domain, you are the only person I can trust. So, if you die, who will help me?"

"I..."

Hu Feifan hesitated for a bit but eventually nodded and said, "Alright, if the master doesn't let this old servant die, then I will not die. Definitely not die!"

Hu Feifan spoke with determination, and by his demeanor, it seemed he was ready to struggle against fate.

Lin Fan nodded and said, "As long as you try, I believe that you definitely won't die!"

Just then, Hu Shengyi rushed in, panic-stricken, and exclaimed, "Father, something terrible has happened!"

Hu Shengyi's face was full of urgency, and it was apparent that he was very distraught as he continued, "Over at Cloud East City, under the personal leadership of Dongfang Qi, they have launched an attack, demanding that we hand over the murderer of his son."

After hearing this, Hu Feifan was startled and said, "What, they..."

Hu Feifan quickly put away his surprise, saying helplessly, "A tiger, when fallen to the plains, is bullied by a dog. If it were the days of my prime, this Dongfang Qi wouldn't dare to break wind in front of me; yet now, he dares to encroach upon me? Sigh!"

It was apparent that Hu Feifan was feeling very helpless.

To be honest, when Lin Fan heard that Dongfang Qi was personally launching an attack, he was surprised too and thought to himself: "He's come quite quickly."

However, that was all the surprise Lin Fan felt; he didn't show much else.

Just a Dongfang Qi, he wasn't enough to scare him.

Then Lin Fan said to a disheartened Hu Feifan, "Hu Feifan, just relax. It won't be long before this Dongfang Qi will still submit before you."

"But..."

Hu Feifan wanted to say something.

Lin Fan waved his hand to interrupt and said, "Trust me."

Hu Feifan looked at Lin Fan, and in the end, said nothing, but nodded.

He might have trusted Lin Fan.

At this time, Hu Shengyi became somewhat anxious and said, "Father, what should we do? Dongfang Qi seems to be coming with aggressive momentum; it looks like he won't let things rest easily."

Before Hu Feifan could speak, Lin Fan said, "I'll go."

"What?"

Hu Shengyi looked at Lin Fan, and with disbelief, asked, "You?"

After pausing, Hu Shengyi added, "Do you know how powerful Dongfang Qi is? You must be aware that he's a Saint Ascension-level powerhouse. Granted, he's only just reached the Saint Ascension level, but you are no match for him. If you go, it will be nothing more than seeking death."

Hu Shengyi was not optimistic about Lin Fan.

This was normal, after all; Lin Fan's current cultivation was merely at the Wheel Vein Realm, a gap far from the Saint Ascension level. Under such disparity, if Lin Fan stepped forward, it truly would be seeking death.

After hearing what Hu Shengyi said, Lin Fan didn't take it to heart and just casually smiled.

Then Hu Feifan spoke up, "Child, do not be rude. If Young Hero Lin Fan says he can do it, then he certainly can."

In front of others, Hu Feifan wouldn't address Lin Fan as master, not even to his son Hu Shengyi.

"Father..."

Hu Shengyi still wanted to say something.

Hu Feifan cut him off sharply, "Hold your tongue!"

Hu Shengyi fell silent.

Meanwhile, Hu Shengyi looked at Lin Fan with some suspicion, thinking to himself, "Unexpectedly, why does father hold this guy in such high regard? Could it be that this guy has some extraordinary ability?"

As for Lin Fan, he said nothing and merely walked out slowly.

After pondering for a moment, Hu Shengyi also followed Lin Fan out.

At this time, Hu Shengyi's mind was constantly wondering, "I would like to see what exactly does this guy have that makes him stand out?"
