87: Come on, I'm in a hurry.

Xiao Huohuo scratched his head, a simple, honest smile appearing on his face as he chuckled, "Senior Brother, wasn't it to help you all see more clearly?"

"Alright, alright," Lin Fan waved his hand, too lazy to argue with him further. "It's fine as long as everyone's here."

He turned his gaze towards the Zhuge family members who were already scared out of their wits, standing there like wooden stakes.

"What are your plans now?"

"Se-Senior!" Zhuge Qing jolted, instantly snapping back to reality, scrambling forward on his hands and knees, his posture extremely humble. "This Junior is willing to serve you Seniors, fetching tea and water! I only ask... I only ask to be allowed to follow by your side and broaden my horizons!"

Are you kidding me?

These were four genuine Prodigies!

Clinging to this powerful connection, they could walk sideways in this Hidden Venerable Secret Realm!

Lin Fan heard him, pondered for a moment, then nodded.

Having an extra guide would save trouble.

"Very well."

Lin Fan and the other three walked at the front, as if strolling leisurely.

The Zhuge family entourage followed carefully behind, like the most loyal servants, not even daring to breathe loudly.

With the map, the journey ahead indeed became much smoother.

The four soon met up with the rest of the Zhuge family.

When the Elders and Disciples of the Zhuge family heard about their Young Lord's "fantastical" experiences along the way, and then saw the four "Senior experts" with their extraordinary and unfathomable Auras, their expressions were more affectionate than if they had seen their own fathers.

"Thank you, four Seniors, for saving our lives! My Zhuge family, from top to bottom, is endlessly grateful!"

Zhuge Yuan, the Zhuge family's Patriarch, personally stepped forward and bowed deeply to Lin Fan and the other three.

Lin Fan accepted it calmly.

Immediately, Zhuge Yuan concisely introduced some of the conditions of the Hidden Venerable Secret Realm and the distribution of the major powers.

Just as everyone was conversing...

"Oh, isn't this the Martial Saint Senior who displayed his Divine Ability outside the Secret Realm!"

A sarcastic, sneering voice came from not far away.

Everyone looked in the direction of the voice, only to see a group of black-clad Martial Artists with cold Auras slowly approaching.

Leading them was a young man with an evil countenance, playing with two iron balls in his hand, a disdainful sneer on his lips, his gaze as if looking at a group of ants.

"Black Moon Sect!"

The Black Moon Sect, one of the three dominant powers in the Southern Region; its Sect Master was a true Martial Venerable expert!

"Mistake, mistake, Li Prodigy," Zhuge Yuan stammered, completely lacking confidence. "My Zhuge family's Old Ancestor once had a bit of friendship with the Black Moon Sect. We are all one Family."

"Oh?" The evil young man named Li Hankong raised an eyebrow, a playful smile appearing on his face. "The Zhuge family? The Bloodline of Zhuge Wuhou? That's ancient history. The current Zhuge family is just an insignificant Family without even a Heavenly Human Realm expert. Do you really think you're worthy of calling yourselves one Family with my Black Moon Sect?"

His gaze swept over the Zhuge family members, finally landing on Lin Fan and the other three.

When he saw these four "ordinary people" who couldn't even sense a hint of True Qi fluctuation, a blatant contempt flashed in his eyes.

Then, as if he remembered something, the smile on his face grew even wider. He pointed at Lin Fan and the other three, scoffing, "A few ordinary people without even True Qi or Internal Energy, yet you dared to pretend to be Martial Saints these past few days! What audacity."

The Black Moon Sect Disciples behind him also burst into laughter.

The Zhuge family members all flushed with anger, yet dared not speak out.

After all, the opponent was the Black Moon Sect!

However, they might not dare to provoke them, but someone else did!

Lin Fan and the other three remained calm and composed, as if they hadn't heard the other party's mockery at all.

But this attitude of ignoring them, in Li Hankong's eyes, was a blatant provocation!

"This Young Lord is speaking to you! Are you deaf?!" Li Hankong's face darkened, and a terrifying Aura of a Great Grandmaster Peak instantly erupted, pressing down on Lin Fan and the other three!

"Kneel and answer this Young Lord!"

Just then!

"Stop!"

Another voice rang out!

Only to see another group of Martial Artists, dressed in uniform green sword robes, each carrying a long sword on their back, and with sharp Auras, approaching quickly.

Leading them was also a young man with a distinguished bearing.

"Profound Sword Sect!" Li Hankong frowned, a hint of disgust flashing in his eyes.

The Profound Sword Sect was also one of the three dominant powers in the Southern Region, and had always been mortal enemies with their Black Moon Sect.

"Li Hankong, you still enjoy bullying the weak so much," the Profound Sword Sect's young man sneered. "These friends, my Profound Sword Sect will protect them! If you have the guts, come at me!"

He was intentionally trying to oppose Li Hankong.

"Heh, just you, Chu Feng?" Li Hankong curled his lip in disdain. "That old geezer from your Profound Sword Sect, after he ran off to the Eastern Region a while ago, he never came back. He probably died out there, didn't he? Now, who still puts your Profound Sword Sect in their eyes?"

At these words, the various forces around, who had been watching the tiger fight from the mountain, immediately stirred.

Many people began to whisper, and their gazes towards the Profound Sword Sect also carried a hint of strangeness.

Even the Core Disciple of the Tang Sect, who had just arrived not long ago, his eyes darted around after hearing this, and with a hint of schadenfreude, he stood on the Black Moon Sect's side.

They already felt they had been tricked by Lin Fan and the other three, so now that the Black Moon Sect was stepping forward, they were naturally happy to watch the show.

For a time, there were few who spoke up for the Profound Sword Sect.

The entire scene instantly became tense!

Lin Fan and the other three became the focus of everyone's attention, and... the fuse.

They looked at these "big shots" arguing red-faced over them, these "small fries," and were also utterly bewildered.

This script wasn't right!

Just as the atmosphere was at its most tense.

Ling Ke'er, who had been silent all this time, suddenly turned her head and quietly asked Lin Fan, her voice not loud, but clearly reaching everyone's ears.

"Senior Brother, can we act now?"

At these words, the entire scene fell into a deathly silence!

Everyone looked at this woman who didn't know her place, as if they had seen a ghost.

Lin Fan, however, nodded calmly at her without a second thought.

Then, he turned around, cupped his hands towards Chu Feng, the Profound Sword Sect Prodigy who was also in a state of bewilderment, and said indifferently:

"Thank you for Your Excellency's kind intentions."

"However, mere ants are not worth Your Excellency's trouble."

"Please step aside, lest blood splashes on you later."

After speaking, he no longer paid attention to anyone.

He simply turned to the already bewildered Black Moon Sect, Tang Sect, and those various "Prodigies" who had sided with them, and slowly spoke, his voice calm, yet seemingly carrying an indescribable magic.

"All of you, come at us together."

"We're in a hurry."
