Chapter 1399 Turning hostility into friendship
A faint spiritual mist filled the hall, where Su Fan and Yuan Lang sat cross-legged facing each other.

Li Chongxiu poured out amber-colored tea from the teapot. The tea leaves rippled gently in the jade cup, and a delicate aroma, bittersweet yet sweet, quietly spread out.

"Senior, what brings you here today? May I ask what you wish to teach me?"

Su Fan lightly tapped his knee with his fingertips, his gaze falling on the rising steam from the tea.

Yuanlang, the Divine Lord, picked up the jade cup, his thin lips sipping the tea with a hint of nonchalance, leaving faint dampness on his lips.

"Yesterday, several members of an assassin organization came to our door, asking Junior Brother Xuanyu to convey a message that they wish to meet with you, using the sect's influence..."

What the heck...

These assassin organizations must be top-tier assassin organizations from the Taihao Immortal Realm; otherwise, they wouldn't even be worthy of being associated with the Divine Water Immortal Sect.

"Why do they want to see me...?"

Seeing Su Fan's blank expression, Yuan Lang God Venerable curled his lips.

His fingertips paused slightly, and a half-smile curled at the corner of his mouth.

This kid is pretending to be ignorant when he knows the truth.

Why the hell do you say that? It's because your vengeful nature is too vicious.

"They met with you hoping to resolve the conflict peacefully. As a token of their sincerity, several assassin organizations will offer you some compensation..."

Su Fan was somewhat dumbfounded. A top-tier assassin organization from the Taihao Immortal Realm would actually back down on its own initiative.

"Senior, wait a moment..." He raised his hand and pressed down, his brows furrowed into a deep frown.

"They're all top-tier assassin organizations in this world, why would they bow down to someone from a small world like me..."

"What do you think..."

Yuanlang God Venerable chuckled lightly, his sharp gaze sweeping over him like that of an eagle.

"Did you take down the headquarters of an assassin organization, kid...?"

What the hell...

Su Fan's pupils contracted sharply. Had the news spread so quickly?

Seeing Su Fan's shocked expression, Yuan Lang God Venerable couldn't help but sigh inwardly.

If those assassin organizations hadn't confessed, the sect would still be in the dark.

This little devil is truly ruthless.

Just because the "Blood-Clad Tower" sent a few assassins, he single-handedly stormed into the Great World and uprooted their stronghold.

Anyone would be afraid in this situation.

Especially those assassin organizations, how could they possibly want to provoke such a ruthless person?

"No... 'Blood Robe Tower' is just a third-rate assassin organization. How can it compare to those top-tier assassin organizations?" Su Fan was still somewhat incredulous.

"No matter how powerful an assassin organization is, it is ultimately a profit-driven business."

Yuanlang, the Divine Lord, played with the jade cup, his eyes deep and profound.

“If you really piss me off, who knows what you’ll do? It’s wise to make peace before we become mortal enemies. If you really come knocking on our door, the losses won’t just be some compensation; it’ll be hard to say whether we can even save the organization. The fate of the ‘Blood-Clad Tower’ has terrified them.”

There's nothing shameful about doing this.

If this little devil were to actually reach their lair, the losses would be far more than just a small compensation; the organization might not even be able to survive.

There was no way around it; the destruction of the "Blood-Clad Tower's" lair put immense pressure on these assassin organizations.

Su Fan pondered for a moment, then slowly said, "I'll trouble your sect to negotiate this matter on my behalf..."

He ultimately couldn't trust those assassins, but the Divine Water Immortal Sect was a reliable choice.

As expected, Yuan Lang's eyes instantly lit up. Although the Divine Water Immortal Sect was a super immortal sect, the Quwu Star Region was located in a remote area and had never had the opportunity to come into contact with top assassin organizations.

If one can take this opportunity to befriend the top forces in the Taihao Immortal Realm, it will definitely be a profitable deal.

"Don't worry, leave this to us. We'll handle it flawlessly for you..."

After hearing Yuan Lang's words, Su Fan nodded in satisfaction.

He pondered for a moment, realizing that despite the bounty offered by the Celestial Race of the Taihao Immortal Realm, they certainly wouldn't give up easily.

Since you're doing the first thing, don't blame me for doing the fifteenth.

With a bounty placed on his head throughout the entire Taihao Immortal Realm, how could Su Fan possibly remain indifferent?

If he doesn't retaliate, it wouldn't be in line with his vengeful nature.

If Su Fan does nothing, who will care about the infamous reputation he painstakingly built up?

Thinking of this, Su Fan cupped his hands in greeting to Yuan Lang, the Divine Venerable.

"Senior, I have a favor to ask..."

"Just tell us, as long as it's within the capabilities of our Divine Water Immortal Sect, we'll definitely handle it perfectly for you..."

"I will be leaving in a few days. Could you please take care of that cave dwelling for me?"

Yuanlang Divine Venerable chuckled and said, "I thought it was something serious. You can rest assured, the sect will take care of everything for you..."

After Yuanlang God finished speaking, he suddenly thought of something.

The Celestial Race has just issued a bounty for his capture. Given this little devil's vengeful nature, how could he possibly let this go?

Thinking of this, Yuanlang God Venerable glanced at Su Fan.

"By the way... there's a hidden teleportation array inside our sect. Leaving from there would be safer and much more discreet..."

Su Fan was taken aback at first, then his eyes lit up with surprise.

What a stroke of good luck! It seems this old guy has already guessed what I'm going to do next.

"Then I'll trouble you, senior, to make the arrangements for me..."

In the following days, Su Fan, representing the Divine Water Immortal Sect, negotiated with the top assassin organization of the Taihao Immortal Realm.

The two sides had a great understanding and quickly reached a consensus.

Several top-tier assassin organizations offered compensation and promised never to accept assassination missions against Su Fan again, thus ending the conflict peacefully.

Despite being kept extremely secret, the matter was still discovered by other assassin organizations in the Taihao Immortal Realm.

For centuries afterward, Su Fan remained firmly on the special lists of various assassin organizations, becoming a taboo target that no one dared to take on.

After all, assassin organizations are ultimately a business, and those on special lists are never to be touched.

A few days later, Su Fan announced that he was going into seclusion, completely sealing off the entrance to his cave.

He specially hired disciples of the Divine Water Immortal Sect to guard the area around his cave year-round. Under the seemingly strict defenses, he had already quietly left using the sect's teleportation array.

Because a group of old guys from the Divine Water Immortal Sect were covering for him, very few people knew that Su Fan had already left Divine Water Immortal City.

Even the disciples of the Divine Water Immortal Sect thought he was in seclusion in his cave.

In fact, for cultivators in this cultivation world, going into seclusion is a perfectly normal thing.

After all, cultivators face many constraints throughout their lives, requiring repeated seclusion to break through barriers and advance their cultivation levels.

But for Su Fan, ever since he transmigrated to this cultivation world, his cultivation level has been advancing by leaps and bounds, and he has hardly encountered any obstacles.

Through repeated blood sacrifices by the Witch Clan, he saved himself over a thousand years of hard work and unknowingly broke through to the late stage of the Refining Void Realm.
