Han Xuanji did not reply immediately, but pondered for a moment.
After all, although Han Xuanji was low-key, his disciple Lu Fan was already Human Emperor Candidate. Where did Xuanyuan Po get the confidence that he would help him instead of his own disciple?
"Could it be that I was framed?"
Han Xuanji pondered the possibility of this situation, but felt it was unlikely.
Before the ancient road opened, all factions were trying their best to gain assistance.
His actions, in a sense, also represented the Spirit Void Heavenly Palace.
Was it because he never explicitly supported Lu Fan that Xuanyuan Po misunderstood him?
Han Xuanji finally decided to go out, since it wouldn't take up much time anyway.
The current Immortal Realm is not yet in the simulation stage; many ancient powerful beings have not yet descended to earth, and there are no dangerous places for him.
Moreover, as one of the oldest Human Emperor Bloodline, the Xuanyuan Aristocratic Clan's ancestral land must also be a rare place to sign in.
"As for this Ancient Road of Trials, we definitely need to go there."
Han Xuanji remembered that in the simulation, Lu Fan obtained a great fortuitous opportunity on the ancient road and rose to prominence.
In such places where the fortunes of Human Race and ancient traditions converge, the sign-in rewards are sure to be impressive.
In the simulation, he probably didn't actually go. After all, there's no sign-in function, so even if he went, he wouldn't be able to obtain the treasures that are very useful to Daluo. Moreover, without the system's concealment function, he would be even less likely to expose himself to the public.
"By the way... in the simulation, Lu Fan will encounter an attack from Chu Wuya."
Han Xuanji seemed to be deep in thought, feeling that the timeline seemed to match up.
I don't know if he agreed to Xuanyuan Po in the simulation, but he definitely still has to go out now.
Even if it weren't for the sign-in reward, I still have to help Lu Fan out.
He's my disciple, after all; I can't just sit idly by.
On the other side.
A slightly hurried streak of light was struggling to traverse the Starry Sky, heading towards the Spirit Void Immortal Domain.
The figure amidst the flowing light was none other than Lu Fan.
His face was resolute, but his brows betrayed a lingering weariness and urgency.
"To see my master before the ancient road is fully opened..."
Lu Fan silently recited in his heart.
Behind him in the void was a taciturn old man in black robes, his protector sent by the Human Emperor Palace, a powerful figure whose cultivation had reached the Taiyi realm.
The old man's expression was solemn as he vigilantly sensed his surroundings.
During this period, three Human Emperor Candid ate have been murdered, and Lu Fan has already taken a great risk by going out this time.
Sudden!
The once tranquil void ahead shattered suddenly, like a mirror.
"How dare you plot to harm the future Human Emperor!"
The old man in black robes changed his expression drastically and appeared in front of Lu Fan, his body bursting with dazzling divine light.
"Hmph, a future Human Emperor? Just a dead Human Emperor Candidate."
The attackers were far more powerful than anyone had imagined.
With just a cold snort, the old man was terrified out of his wits.
"Not good!"
The old man in black robes' expression changed drastically, realizing that the attackers' strength far exceeded his expectations.
Before he could say anything more, a giant hand, seemingly formed from the Principle of Darkness, silently emerged from the shattered void, its five fingers spread wide, swallowing up all light in its path.
The enormous hand hurtled directly toward Lu Fan, and the black-robed elder quickly used a treasure bestowed upon him by a Taishang Elder of the Human Emperor Palace to protect Lu Fan.
"Run!"
The old man in black robes only had time to utter those words before he was swallowed up by this power.
"Puff!"
There was no earth-shattering explosion, only a dull thud of bones cracking.
The old man in black robes shuddered violently, his eyes dimming instantly. With his last ounce of strength, he pushed a gentle force towards Lu Fan behind him, but he himself flew backward like a kite with a broken string, spitting out blood and his aura weakening.
" Elder Qi!"
An overwhelming grief gripped Lu Fan Lu Fan's heart, and his eyes widened in horror.
A blurry figure was shrouded in distorted shadows, seemingly merging with the entire dark void.
The other party did not reveal its true form, but the aura it exuded was as deep and unfathomable as a prison, like that of a god.
It was a Daluo!
The sheer pressure alone caused Lu Fan's immortal power to stagnate, making even breathing extremely difficult.
The difference is too big!
It's so big it's despairing.
"Escape? Where can we escape to?"
A murderous glint flashed in Chu Wuya's eyes; naturally, he wouldn't let Lu Fan go either.
He would personally take action, and naturally, he would show no mercy, nor would he waste words with the enemy.
He ignored the old man in black robes' persistent entanglement and unleashed another palm strike.
At the critical moment--
"Buzz!"
From the depths of the void, a beam of Chaos Divine Light suddenly tore through the sky without warning.
The light wasn't dazzling, but it caused time and space to freeze for a moment across the entire star field.
Wherever the divine light passed, everything vanished.
The dark shadow hidden deep in the void let out a muffled groan, attempting to resist with the power of Daluo Immortal, but it quickly disintegrated under the illumination of the Chaos Divine Light.
"No!"
He only had time to let out a short roar before Chu Wuya transformed into streaks of light and vanished into the Starry Sky.
From the moment of attack to the moment of demise, it all happened in the blink of an eye.
Lu Fan stared blankly at the empty Starry Sky before him, as if the earth-shattering pressure he had just experienced had never existed.
He subconsciously touched his brow, feeling somewhat dazed.
Miracle?
No, someone made a move.
"Is it... Master?"
Lu Fan murmured to himself, unsure.
This attack was completely concealed from the heavens; even the Daluo standing behind him seemed to have no idea of it.
Those who can do this must be even more powerful beings.
What merit or ability did he possess to become acquainted with him?
Not far away, the seriously injured Elder Qi struggled to sit up, his aged face filled with horror.
He understood the terror of the person who made the move even better than Lu Fan.
"A strike from afar, annihilating Daluo Immortal..."
Elder Qi's voice trembled, and his gaze toward Lu Fan completely changed.
"Your Highness Lu Fan, who exactly is the powerful figure standing behind you?"
Elder Qi was shocked. It seemed that Lu Fan's ability to become Human Emperor Candidate was not as simple as he had imagined.
Everyone thought Lu Fan was just a lucky guy who got a bargain, but they never expected that there was such a terrifyingly powerful figure standing behind him.
The person who made the move, even if not at the Hunyuan Realm, is still a top expert among the Daluo.
After all, Daluo have many methods, and it is difficult to determine the winner among those of the same realm, let alone kill them.
Only when the gap is so large can this scene be achieved.
Lu Fan opened his mouth, but ultimately just shook his head.
He recalled his master's leisurely demeanor at the Myriad Phenomena Garden and found it hard to reconcile the thunderous methods he had just used with that person.
But a voice deep inside him told him: apart from his master, there was no one else in the Immortal Realm who would help him.
Lu Fan naturally couldn't tell the protector about this, even though the two had a good relationship.
Deep in the Starry Sky.
Han Xuanji slowly withdrew his finger, and a wisp of Chaos energy quietly dissipated from his fingertip.
"I finally made it."
In the simulation, perhaps his perception was a bit slow, and he acted too late.
This time, I've made it in time.
However, Lu Fan still has to walk his own path from now on.
He won't interfere too much.
Everyone has their own destiny.
He was just helping out on the way.
