Chapter 1309: Mu Lao's Decision
"Third Brother, are you sure that kid got the treasure? And there's a high possibility that the treasure is related to Divine Sense?"
Facing Mu Lao, who looked solemn, Xie Lao did not dare to be the slightest bit careless and nodded seriously with a similar expression on his face.
"Big Brother, the treasure from the Zhao Family has a very high chance of being related to Divine Sense! And the probability of that kid obtaining the treasure is at least seventy percent!"
"In West City, that kid exposed some clues in order to persuade the Zhao Family to leave, and when I was probing him in the helicopter, he didn't let anything slip and deliberately erased any mention of the treasure. So, there's a great chance that kid has the treasure!"
Yi Lao was fuming, his face flushed with anger, "If you're sure the treasure is related to Divine Sense, why didn't you just capture the kid and search for the treasure?"
Xie Lao gave an awkward smile, "I was afraid the kid would get suspicious!"
How Xie Lao wished to capture Xu Fan directly! In the helicopter, he had this thought countless times, but in the end, looking at Xu Fan's always calm eyes, Xie Lao did not dare to take the risk.
Xu Fan's performance in West City had already elevated his status in Xie Lao's mind by countless levels. At this point, Xie Lao was afraid of falling into Xu Fan's trap again, which would be detrimental to future plans.
"Foolish! That kid doesn't even know you. You could have captured him and searched for the treasure. Without his Divine Sense, he'd be far inferior to you; what could he possibly do to you?"
"Besides, even if the kid gets suspicious, we could forcibly make him break through and offer him for Big Brother to devour. What's there to fear?"
Yi Lao was hopping mad; the helicopter was the best chance for Xie Lao to act, but now that Xu Fan has returned to the base, it would be unjustifiable for Xie Lao to make a move on him.
Moreover, so much time has passed, and with Xu Fan's intelligence, he must have already dealt with the treasure. There's no point in going now.
Mu Lao, however, waved it off, "This isn't Old Third's fault, it's mine. I underestimated Xu Fan before."
Mu Lao's words shocked the three people beside him.
From the beginning, Mu Lao never underestimated Xu Fan, and he always held Xu Fan in high regard! He had been keeping strict surveillance on Xu Fan, yet now, Mu Lao still felt he had underestimated Xu Fan.
It was evident that Xu Fan had reached an extremely high level in Mu Lao's mind!
Who was Mu Lao? Decades ago, Mu Lao's name could instill fear in countless Hidden World Families, and such a person had seen all kinds of geniuses but made such high remarks about a mere Entering Dao Realm Xu Fan!
"Big Brother, why don't we directly confine him and force him to break through to the Vajra Realm? Even if it's only Mortal Grade Vajra Realm, perhaps it can still allow Big Brother to make a breakthrough."
Yi Lao first suggested this, and Wang Lao and Xie Lao both nodded in agreement. Clearly, Xu Fan now seemed somewhat beyond their control.
Previously, all three of them disregarded Xu Fan, believing he was doomed; but now, although they still didn't believe Xu Fan could survive, his series of actions had already sparked a sense of caution among the three.
The most prudent way to deal with someone beyond control is only one thing, and that is to kill!
Mu Lao slightly squinted his eyes, but he didn't answer Yi Lao and the others directly, instead showing a look of contemplation and hesitation.
In the end, Mu Lao still shook his head.
"Inadvisable, the amount of Divine Sense required for the Divinity Transformation Realm is too immense. The Mortal Grade Vajra Realm, I fear, isn't enough."
Mu Lao's words were almost like a final word; the three who had just thought about directly killing Xu Fan nodded in agreement and didn't speak further.
"From today onward, we must ensure that Xu Fan is at least under the sight of one of the four of us! Although we can't kill that kid now, at the very least, we need to find out what the treasure is exactly."
"Moreover, everything else remains unchanged! The Li, Long, and Feng families could send someone to act against Xu Fan at any time. We must carefully monitor, but unless it's absolutely necessary, do not expose ourselves. Try to make that kid reveal all his cards."
Although Xu Fan was just at the Entering Dao Realm Peak, the four of Mu Lao were seasoned Zhiwei Realm experts, yet Mu Lao remained extremely vigilant.
Yi and the others dared not make any fuss before Mu Lao, and they all nodded cautiously, affirming repeatedly.
The four shared a deep bond, yet it was for the first time that Yi and the others had seen Mu Lao with such a serious and even solemn expression.
After Yi and the others left, Mu Lao sat alone in the room, his brows slightly furrowed, a touch of bewilderment in his expression.
After a long time, Mu Lao gently sighed, "I originally planned to wait until you reached the Zhiwei Realm to kill you, but since you can't wait, I'll have to make a move on you in a month."
"What a pity..."
The lights dimmed, and the room returned to silence and darkness. No one knew whether the regret in Mu Lao's words was for Xu Fan's untimely demise or for the fact that Xu Fan wouldn't reach the Zhiwei Realm before being devoured by him.
...
In the blink of an eye, daylight had broken. In the dormitory, Xu Fan still sat cross-legged on the bed, his expression calm, quietly cultivating.
Through meditation to cultivate Divine Sense was no different from regular cultivation, even if exposed to others, they couldn't see anything unusual.
Buzz! Buzz!
Suddenly, waves of fluctuation emanated from Xu Fan's Spiritual Platform, though not strong, they were instantly suppressed by Xu Fan.
After a night of meditation cultivation, his previously exhausted Divine Sense had been completely restored, and even more pure and vigorous!
And this was merely one of the wonders of the Nirvana Divinity Technique! Compared to the extremely crude Spirit Refinement Technique, the Nirvana Divinity Technique was akin to a Nine Ranks Divine Weapon, while the Spirit Refinement Technique could only be regarded as below Mortal Grade!
After all, Divine Sense cultivation is fraught with risks; just a small oversight during cultivation, remaining stagnant for a long time, or engaging in battle of Divine Sense with someone could result in damage to Divine Sense! Once harmed, cultivators face a high chance of immediate death!
The Nirvana Divinity Technique, however, eliminated these restrictions, reducing the risks of cultivating Divine Sense to the minimum.
Sigh!
At this moment, Xu Fan stood up, exhaled a breath of turbid air, his eyes shining with bright light.
Despite having gone through a series of battles and facing the threat of many Zhiwei Realm experts, Xu Fan, who didn't sleep all night, now appeared more spirited.
Just as Xu Fan was planning to go to the Divine Arms Pavilion to request a Divine Weapon from Xie Lao, a knock on the door suddenly sounded.
"Instructor Xu, are you there?"
