"Hmph!"
Huo Ling'er snorted, "You call that a favor?"
"Of course it is!"
Yun Fan said, "If it weren't for me, you wouldn't have been able to return to the Eight Directions Dao Province, so this favor is quite significant!"
"It's just two favors!"
Huo Ling'er said angrily, "I'll repay you!"
Although she said that, Huo Ling'er was somewhat overwhelmed internally. Two favors!
She didn't know when she could ever repay them.
If it were just ordinary favors, it would be fine.
But these were life-saving debts, and repaying them wasn't that easy.
At this moment, Yun Fan said, "I don't think it's that troublesome. If I kill you, then the favor you owe me will be settled!"
He looked at Huo Ling'er with intense killing intent.
This truly startled Huo Ling'er.
Even Huo Ling'er hadn't expected Yun Fan to harbor killing intent, but it was true that she had tried to kill Yun Fan first.
Therefore, she couldn't blame him at this moment.
However, she was very scared. If she died now, wouldn't it be a huge loss?
"According to the rules of the Eight Directions Dao Province, I should repay your favor first, and then we can fight to the death!"
Huo Ling'er argued.
"No need for that. I'll kill you now!"
Yun Fan said impatiently.
Huo Ling'er glared fiercely at Yun Fan. This guy was simply too detestable.
Therefore, she immediately said to Yun Fan, "Since that's the case, don't blame me for being impolite!"
"Very good!"
Yun Fan said, "Remember to open your eyes in your next life and don't provoke me!"
With that, he directly attacked Huo Ling'er. However, the outcome disappointed him. Huo Ling'er immediately turned into a ball of flame and disappeared from the spot.
"Arbitrary teleportation!"
Yun Fan realized then that Huo Ling'er had this ability, capable of teleporting to a place he couldn't even detect.
It seemed this must be a technique passed down by Huo Hai Wubian to Huo Ling'er.
Otherwise, it would be impossible for her to escape under his nose.
This time, he didn't blame himself, saying he was indecisive was impossible.
Because he had indeed harbored killing intent just now, wanting to instantly kill Huo Ling'er, but he hadn't expected her to have such a move.
It could only be said that heaven had spared Huo Ling'er.
After failing, Yun Fan could only return to the Land of Chaos.
He didn't tell the women about the situation to avoid worrying them.
However, on this day, a very important figure arrived at the Land of Chaos.
This great figure was known as Tian Xia Wu Di (Invincible Under Heaven).
He was extremely arrogant. For him, whether he was called the Number One Under Heaven or Invincible Under Heaven, it didn't matter anymore.
After all, his name already contained the word "invincible."
He was one of the only two remaining War Heaven realm powerhouses in the Eight Directions Dao Province, and the father of You Ruo and Leng Ran.
Upon learning that You Ruo's fiancé was not the Seventh God, Tian Xia Wu Di personally dispatched a clone to investigate.
He wanted to see which young man had managed to charm his two daughters. Of course, that wasn't the most important thing.
The important thing was that this guy had killed Huo Hai Wubian's son, Tian Yan, and had also disregarded his imperial decree.
This was equivalent to slapping his face indirectly.
Therefore, at this moment, he wanted to see what was so special about Yun Fan.
After meeting the clone of Tian Xia Wu Di, Yun Fan realized the terrifying power. This clone was indeed a bit stronger than Huo Hai Wubian's clone.
When Tian Xia Wu Di saw Yun Fan, he found that Yun Fan was merely handsome, and apart from being handsome, he seemed to have no other extraordinary qualities.
Furthermore, he discovered that Yun Fan was a being who surpassed the level of World Annihilators.
This was Yun Fan's most unique aspect.
"Greetings, Father-in-law!"
Yun Fan respectfully bowed.
However, Tian Xia Wu Di was unimpressed with Yun Fan. "Boy, how dare you tear up my imperial decree?"
After all, he had sent Tian Yan with his decree to marry Leng Ran.
But in the end, the decree was torn up by Yun Fan.
Yun Fan said, "Father-in-law, I didn't tear up the decree! You might have misunderstood!"
"If you didn't tear it up, then why did you kill Tian Yan?"
If Tian Yan were just an insignificant figure, it would be one thing. But Tian Yan was Huo Hai Wubian's son.
He had come this time specifically to resolve this matter.
The two women quickly said, "Father, it wasn't my husband's fault. Tian Yan was the one who first tried to kill my husband!"
"Silence!"
Tian Xia Wu Di berated, "You two shameless women, marrying one man simultaneously! You've completely disgraced me!"
Clearly, he was very disappointed with the two women at this moment.
"They like me, and I like them. Is that not allowed?"
Yun Fan said directly, "Marrying me is much better than marrying that guy Tian Yan!"
"Do you know he's Huo Hai Wubian's son? If Huo Hai Wubian makes a move, you're finished!"
Tian Xia Wu Di questioned angrily.
Yun Fan said, "I've already fought with his clone, and he couldn't do anything to me. I almost killed his daughter, Huo Ling'er, but she escaped!"
At these words, the three were instantly shocked. No wonder Yun Fan had been gone for so long; they had thought he was in seclusion.
They hadn't expected so much to have happened during that time.
"Silence!"
Tian Xia Wu Di berated, "It's a good thing you didn't kill his daughter, otherwise, no one could have saved you!"
After all, Huo Ling'er was Huo Hai Wubian's most cherished daughter. If anything happened to Huo Ling'er, this matter would be difficult to resolve!
"She tried to kill me, so shouldn't I be allowed to kill her?"
Yun Fan said unwillingly.
"Of course you can!"
Tian Xia Wu Di asked coldly, "But do you have the strength to do so?"
Clearly, he was dismissive of Yun Fan at this moment.
Yun Fan said, "Although I'm not Huo Hai Wubian's match, I still have the strength to fight him!"
The two women were moved, but it was also normal, as Yun Fan's strength was truly formidable.
At this time, Tian Xia Wu Di said to Yun Fan, "You killed Tian Yan, you can't just offer nothing in return!"
"Then how should I show my regards?"
Yun Fan asked, though he didn't take Tian Xia Wu Di's words seriously.
Tian Xia Wu Di said, "Cut off one of your legs, and I can resolve your grievances with Huo Hai Wubian!"
At these words, the two women were dismayed. They would never agree to this.
Of course, not only did they not agree, but Yun Fan also wouldn't. One of his legs was far more important than Tian Yan.
"Father, no!"
"Silence!"
After Tian Xia Wu Di's reprimand, he looked at Yun Fan.
However, Yun Fan said, "Father-in-law, I cannot accept this gesture. In my eyes, only fists can settle this!"
At these words, Tian Xia Wu Di was furious. This brat really didn't know the immensity of heaven and earth.
Therefore, he said to Yun Fan, "Since you don't want to show your regards, then I'll do it for you!"
With that, his clone moved towards Yun Fan.
Clearly, he intended to deal with Yun Fan.
But Yun Fan was not afraid at all. When facing Huo Hai Wubian's clone before, he lacked combat experience and suffered a great loss.
However, after his journey in the Demonic Realm, his experience was maxed out. Therefore, when facing an even stronger clone of Tian Xia Wu Di now, Yun Fan didn't take him lightly at all.
"I welcome the challenge!"
Yun Fan said directly. He had his principles and would naturally not bow down subserviently.
As expected, at this moment, Tian Xia Wu Di made his move.
The two women, though willing to intervene, were powerless. They simply couldn't block Tian Xia Wu Di's killing blow.
At this time, Yun Fan met Tian Xia Wu Di head-on. Both were skilled in using brute force, so at this moment, their brute force was fully unleashed.
After a punch, both were repelled.
The two women were shocked. They hadn't expected Yun Fan's strength to improve so quickly. After all, even if Tian Xia Wu Di was just a clone,
he was definitely stronger than a World Annihilator, second only to a War Heaven realm expert.
They hadn't expected Yun Fan to be able to fight him to a standstill. This meant Yun Fan might be infinitely close to the War Heaven realm.
What a terrifying existence.
After all, Yun Fan had grown up right before their eyes.
At this moment, the two women were on the verge of threatening their lives to make Tian Xia Wu Di release Yun Fan.
However, Yun Fan was not in great danger now, not to the point where they needed to threaten their lives. They could wait a bit longer.
As expected, after fighting for dozens of rounds, although Yun Fan was suppressed by Tian Xia Wu Di, he did not fall.
After a hundred moves, Tian Xia Wu Di stopped attacking because he knew further fighting was meaningless.
Neither side could defeat the other.
However, Yun Fan exceeded his expectations. He hadn't expected that in this era, someone like Yun Fan could emerge.
Moreover, Yun Fan's strength was truly extraordinary. If Yun Fan were to break through to the War Heaven realm, he would likely be able to sweep through everything.
In his estimation, Yun Fan's strength was comparable to that of the demons. He just didn't know that three of the Demon Gods had fallen to Yun Fan.
Therefore, even the demons couldn't defeat Yun Fan, let alone be his equal.
At this time, Tian Xia Wu Di said, "I ask you, do you think I will protect you, and that's why you are not afraid of Huo Hai Wubian, or do you believe that you yourself will one day be able to fight Huo Hai Wubian?"
Facing this question, Yun Fan calmly replied, "As for me, I believe that one day, I will be able to fight Huo Hai Wubian!"
At these words, Tian Xia Wu Di was filled with admiration for Yun Fan's courage and confidence.
He hadn't expected Yun Fan to truly have such guts.
Therefore, he said to Yun Fan, "Very good, I hope your confidence will last. However, your potential is extraordinary, and I will mediate to resolve the conflict between you and Huo Hai Wubian!"
Of course, this was almost impossible, but Tian Xia Wu Di was still willing to try.
Putting aside Yun Fan's potential, Yun Fan was still his son-in-law. Therefore, no matter what, he had to protect Yun Fan.
After all, he had already taught Yun Fan a lesson.
In fact, he couldn't do anything to Yun Fan, but at this moment, he still had to resolve the matter with a disciplinary tone.
At this time, he said to Yun Fan, "There's one more thing!"
"What is it?"
Yun Fan asked in confusion.
He said to Yun Fan, "You can only marry one of my two daughters!"
"Father-in-law, you also know that they are both people I like, and they also like me. I will absolutely not give up! I want both of them!"
These words were extremely domineering, yet incredibly provoking. It was like an ordinary person saying to their father-in-law, "I want to marry both of your daughters."
To be honest, it was fortunate that only a clone had come, otherwise, Yun Fan's legs would have been broken.
As expected, Tian Xia Wu Di was also enraged.
"Boy, are you listening to yourself?"
Tian Xia Wu Di at this moment really wanted to kill Yun Fan with a single strike, but he also knew that a clone alone couldn't kill Yun Fan.
Although these words were blasphemous, Yun Fan still said, "Father-in-law, why don't you let them decide!"
At this time, Yun Fan shifted the topic to the two women. Anyway, his attitude was clear: he wanted both.
Finally, Tian Xia Wu Di asked the two women, "What do you think? However, I advise you not to disgrace me before making a decision!"
This was Tian Xia Wu Di's attitude.
Unexpectedly, the two women said in unison and with determination, "We will not give up our husband either!"
At these words, Tian Xia Wu Di almost died of anger. He didn't know what was so good about Yun Fan that his two daughters had both chosen him.
Indeed, a daughter's heart belongs to her husband once she's grown up.
He knew he couldn't persuade his two daughters, so he had to focus on Yun Fan.
"Boy, you better think carefully. If you insist on this, then I will not mediate your conflict with Huo Hai Wubian! If Huo Hai Wubian kills you then, I won't intervene either!"
Hearing this, Yun Fan said, "No problem!"
Tian Xia Wu Di was utterly exasperated. Just as he was about to leave in anger, Yun Fan said again, "Father-in-law, actually, there's something I want to tell you!"
"What? Have you regretted it?"
Tian Xia Wu Di sneered. In his opinion, Yun Fan must have been scared.
However, he hadn't expected Yun Fan to say, "You might have misunderstood. I will never regret anything, even if I die! What I want to say is, I've been to the Demonic Realm!"
"What?"
All three looked at Yun Fan in shock. For the Eight Directions Dao Province, the Demonic Realm was a forbidden land.
Moreover, it was impossible to go there in the first place.
Yun Fan had actually been to the Demonic Realm.
And he had returned alive. For them, it was simply impossible.
Therefore, Tian Xia Wu Di didn't believe him at all.
"Who do you think you are? With a little strength, you go to the Demonic Realm. Do you even know what demons look like?"
He taunted Yun Fan mercilessly.
Yun Fan was indifferent and said, "Not only have I been to the Demonic Realm, but I have also killed three Demon Gods!"
At these words, Tian Xia Wu Di thought Yun Fan was simply talking nonsense. Although Yun Fan was indeed strong enough to fight a Demon God,
killing a Demon God was no different from a fool's dream.
Even You Ruo and Leng Ran thought Yun Fan was trying to prove himself to their father by saying such things.
Regarding this, they were moved, but in their eyes, Yun Fan didn't need to do this. Because no matter the outcome, they would be with Yun Fan.
No one could change their minds.
Just as he was about to mock Yun Fan further, Yun Fan said, "I killed the Hell Demon God, the Nine Nether Demon God, and the Tongtian Demon God!"
At these words, the three were stunned. They hadn't expected Yun Fan to know the names of these three ancient Demon Gods.
"These three were also extremely wicked beings who had killed countless World Annihilator experts from our Eight Directions Dao Province! Therefore, it's not surprising that you know their names!"
Undoubtedly, Tian Xia Wu Di did not appreciate it.
Yun Fan said, "I have a mirror image!"
With that, he immediately activated the mirror image.
It only excluded the part where he dealt with Huo Ling'er.
However, this did not affect the seamlessness with which he killed the three Demon Gods.
Upon seeing this scene, the three gasped. If Yun Fan was just bragging earlier, then now he had irrefutable proof.
Killing three Demon Gods, how domineering and arrogant was this? Even if Yun Fan was arrogant, he had the capital to be so.
When they saw that the three Demon Gods couldn't last many rounds in Yun Fan's hands, the three were once again shocked.
Yun Fan's methods were simply too monstrous!
At this time, Tian Xia Wu Di asked Yun Fan, "How could you achieve this?" Su Dan Novel Network
"For me, it was just a matter of lifting a finger. I didn't expect them to be so weak!"
At these words, the three were speechless. Especially Tian Xia Wu Di, in his opinion, Yun Fan was just a show-off.
The Demon Gods could fight three World Annihilators to a mutual destruction simultaneously. Unexpectedly, in Yun Fan's eyes, they became weaklings.
It couldn't even be described as arrogance.
However, the two women disagreed. They had indeed seen in the mirror image that Yun Fan had killed the three Demon Gods effortlessly, a complete instant kill.
Therefore, Yun Fan's words were not an exaggeration at all.
"How did you get to the Demonic Realm?"
Tian Xia Wu Di asked doubtfully.
Logically, Yun Fan shouldn't have been able to find a way to the Demonic Realm. Because the Demonic Realm was too far from the Eight Directions Dao Province.
Yun Fan said, "Perhaps it was sheer luck. After I killed the three Demon Gods, a clone of a Demon Venerable appeared and sent me out of the Demonic Realm!"
"What?"
The three couldn't believe what Yun Fan had said.
But if Yun Fan's words were false, then he wouldn't be here.
Therefore, they had to believe it, as the evidence was conclusive.
"Because he feared I would slaughter more Demon Gods. Although they have four Demon Venerables, in my estimation, they are temporarily unable to emerge from seclusion, so they chose to send me away!"
These words were truly jaw-dropping. It could be said that Yun Fan had achieved something that no one had done since ancient times.
To have gone to the Demonic Realm and returned safely, let alone a World Annihilator, even a War Heaven realm expert would not have such a miracle.
But this miracle was broken by Yun Fan.
On this point alone, Yun Fan was truly excellent to an unbelievable degree.
"You've truly impressed me. Come with me, and I'll personally take you to resolve your grievances with Huo Hai Wubian!"
Tian Xia Wu Di saw hope in Yun Fan. Three Demon Gods who instilled fear had died at Yun Fan's hands.
If Yun Fan advanced further in the future, even Demon Venerable level experts might not be able to do anything to Yun Fan, especially with the decline of the Eight Directions Dao Province.
The Eight Directions Dao Province needed rising stars like Yun Fan more than ever. Otherwise, it would surely be conquered by the Demonic Realm in the future.
One could imagine how significant Yun Fan's role was.
"No problem!"
Although Yun Fan didn't want to resolve things with Huo Hai Wubian, at this moment, the overall situation took precedence.
Therefore, he agreed to Tian Xia Wu Di's suggestion.
"Father, do you still think he doesn't deserve us now?"
Leng Ran said playfully.
"He's getting off easy, this brat!"
Tian Xia Wu Di knew Yun Fan was excellent, but at this moment, he stubbornly refused to admit it.
After all, this was his last bit of stubbornness.
The two women found it amusing. They knew their father was the type of man who was tough on the outside but soft on the inside.
But now, they could finally be with Yun Fan as they wished. As long as the grievance with Huo Hai Wubian was resolved, Yun Fan could grow with peace of mind.
...
After leaving with Tian Xia Wu Di, Yun Fan wanted to mention that there was a traitor in the Eight Directions Dao Province, but not knowing who the traitor was, he decided to wait and see.
He didn't know how strong the traitor was, so he would never reveal it without evidence.
Afterward, Tian Xia Wu Di took Yun Fan to a world entirely made of fire sea, where the temperature was extremely high.
Moreover, a strong War Heaven realm aura permeated the area, though not War Heaven power.
War Heaven power was something only he was qualified to possess.
Upon arriving in this world of fire sea, Yun Fan saw a magnificent palace standing above the sea of fire.
This palace was majestic. Even a World Annihilator might not be able to withstand its powerful aura.
This was Huo Hai Wubian's palace.
At this moment, Huo Hai Wubian's clone appeared and greeted Tian Xia Wu Di.
"Fellow Daoist, why have you brought him here?"
Huo Hai Wubian looked at Yun Fan coldly. The hatred for his son's death was irreconcilable. Last time, Yun Fan had luckily escaped.
But that didn't mean he would let Yun Fan off. He just didn't understand why Tian Xia Wu Di had brought Yun Fan here.
Tian Xia Wu Di said with a smile, "Fellow Daoist, I brought him here to resolve your grievances!"
However, even facing Tian Xia Wu Di, Huo Hai Wubian still said, "Impossible, unless he dies, my grievances with him will never be resolved!"
Huo Hai Wubian's lack of deference exceeded Tian Xia Wu Di's expectations.
He said to Huo Hai Wubian, "He is the successor of Xue Hai Wuyuan and my son-in-law. Do you not even give me this face?"
If he had been negotiating properly before, then now it was equivalent to a threat.
As expected, Tian Xia Wu Di was not someone to be trifled with. If he were easily provoked, he wouldn't deserve his name.
Instantly, the two became hostile, clearly having touched each other's taboos.
Therefore, Huo Hai Wubian immediately asked, "Fellow Daoist, are you really going to be so aggressive?"
Although they were not friends, they were definitely allies who abided by the Eight Directions Dao Province. Now, it seemed they were on the verge of falling out.
"Why don't you let me finish speaking first!"
Tian Xia Wu Di said, "If you still decide the same way after I'm done, then we'll have to fall out!"
