Chapter 1504 This guy's gone mad
Upon hearing Su Fan's words, Hu Fengting stepped into his own courtyard.

Su Fan followed closely behind, and as soon as he stepped across the threshold, he saw that the courtyard was crowded with people.

They were all members of the Hu family whom he knew, and their faces were filled with respect and humility.

After all, the Hu family had long since fallen on hard times, and the status of an inner sect elder of the "Cangyun Immortal Sect" was now an unattainable figure in their eyes.

In the center of the courtyard stood an elderly man in a gray robe, none other than Xiao He, the inner sect elder.

With his Nascent Soul cultivation, he stood with his hands behind his back, exuding an imposing and awe-inspiring presence that weighed heavily on the entire Hu family in the courtyard.

Upon seeing Hu Fengting enter, Xiao He turned around and glanced at him with a smile.

"You are Hu Fengting, the newly joined outer disciple of the sect..."

Upon hearing the question from the sect elder, Hu Fengting was stunned and hurriedly bowed deeply in respect.

"Disciple Hu Fengting greets Elder Xiao He..."

Xiao He nodded and said, "Let's go inside and talk."

After saying that, he walked straight to the Hu family hall and sat down in a very natural and generous manner.

The women of the Hu family hurriedly stepped forward to brew tea and pour water, afraid of neglecting this important figure from the sect.

Su Fan followed them into the hall. Seeing that the Hu family members were timid and didn't even dare to sit down, he didn't care at all and found a chair to sit down.

Xiao glanced at Su Fan out of the corner of his eye, a hint of displeasure flashing in his eyes, but ultimately said nothing.

After all, given his status, it wasn't worth it for him to bother with a member of a small family.

He picked up his teacup, took a sip of the spiritual tea, and put the cup down before speaking: "You have a girl named Hu Xuan in your family, right? I heard she has quite a talent for the Dao of Thunder..."

Only then did Hu Fengting realize the reason, and he secretly glanced at Su Fan sitting to the side.

He quickly cupped his hands in greeting and replied, "Reporting to Elder Xiao He, that girl Hu Xuan does indeed possess talent in the Dao of Thunder, but... she went missing today and has not yet been found..."

Upon hearing this, Xiao He smiled and waved his hand.

"Today, an elder in my family happened to meet that girl nearby. Seeing her outstanding talent, he took a liking to her and brought her back to the Xiao family..."

What the heck...

Hearing Xiao He say this, Hu Fengting and everyone in his family were stunned.

Even if your elders have taken a liking to our talent, shouldn't they have told our family first?

What kind of nonsense is it to just take someone away like that? Isn't that blatant robbery?

Seeing the change in the Hu family's expressions, Xiao He chuckled.

He didn't take this impoverished little family seriously at all, nor did he care about Hu Fengting and the others' attitudes.

He came today not to discuss anything, but to convey the Xiao family's decision.

The Hu family simply did as instructed, without even having the right to object.

“My elder family member adores this girl and wants to have her adopted into the third branch of the family. If your Hu family is willing to merge into the Xiao family, you can also enjoy the same benefits as a collateral branch of the Xiao family…”

These words left the Hu family with mixed feelings, a mixture of humiliation and a touch of surprise.

The Xiao family's domineering nature was obvious, and their words left them no room for rebuttal.

However, the Xiao family is a cultivation family with a Nascent Soul Realm cultivator in charge. If they could merge into the Xiao family, the Hu family would become a branch of a large family.

Hu Fengting's expression changed repeatedly as he weighed the options in his mind.

For the Hu family, which was on the verge of collapse, merging into the Xiao family was not a bad thing. But the Hu family would be gone, and how could he face his ancestors?

Just as he hesitated, a hint of impatience flashed in Xiao He's eyes.

He stood up and said in a deep voice, "Think it over carefully and give me an answer before tonight..." Then he turned to leave.

But after taking only two steps, Su Fan, who was sitting down, suddenly spoke up: "Elder Xiao He, right..."

Xiao He stopped abruptly, turned around, and looked at Su Fan with a smile.

He had disliked this kid from the start, but he never expected that a mere Foundation Establishment cultivator would dare to speak to him in such a tone.

Even with his pride, he couldn't suppress his anger at this moment: "You're also a member of the Hu family..."

Su Fan chuckled upon hearing this. He didn't care about the Xiao family and was too lazy to waste words.

"I'm only giving you fifteen minutes. If you don't bring Hu Xuan back, I'll wipe out your entire Xiao family..."

These words immediately caused an uproar in the Hu family's hall.

Everyone stared at Su Fan with different expressions, and almost simultaneously had the same thought in their minds.

This guy's gone mad.

The Xiao family is a high-level family with a powerful expert at the Integration Realm, and their ancestor is a prominent figure in the Cangyun Immortal Sect.

Let alone a Foundation Establishment cultivator, even a Body Integration cultivator wouldn't dare say such a thing.

Hu Fengting was so frightened that his face turned pale, and he stared blankly at Su Fan.

Brother, you're going to ruin the Hu family.

It wasn't easy for the Hu family to have survived until now. If they really offend the Xiao family, it's hard to say whether they can even exist in the future.

The hall was completely silent; time seemed to stand still.

Xiao He was also stunned and didn't react for a moment.

Although the "Cangyun Immortal Sect" is a super immortal sect and has many despicable deeds, it would never be so openly violent. Slaughtering entire families at the drop of a hat is the behavior of demonic sects.

It took Xiao He a while to recover, but he didn't get angry; he just found it funny.

How dare a Foundation Establishment cultivator utter such arrogant and ignorant words?

His eyes narrowed, and a powerful divine sense rushed towards Su Fan.

In his view, with his Nascent Soul Realm cultivation, a mere wisp of his divine consciousness would be enough to obliterate this kid's soul.

This time, however, Xiao He ran into a brick wall.

Let alone him, even if the Xiao family patriarch came, he would be instantly defeated by Su Fan, this freak.

"what……"

Xiao He felt a sharp pain in his mind, as if he were being pricked by needles. He couldn't help but scream out and squat on the ground, clutching his head.

The entire Hu family in the hall were dumbfounded.

Everyone thought Su Fan would be instantly killed for offending the elder, but unexpectedly, a major reversal occurred.

Xiao He, who was at the Nascent Soul stage, not only failed to harm Su Fan, but also suffered a setback first.

Su Fan sat there as if nothing had happened, not even moving his buttocks.

"Get out of here... Go back and tell your ancestor that if you don't bring Hu Xuan back in a quarter of an hour, I will slaughter your entire Xiao family..."

Although he gave Xiao He a small lesson, he still needed him to relay a message, so he didn't go too far and only caused Xiao He's consciousness to suffer a backlash.

Upon hearing Su Fan's words, Xiao He knew he had met his match. Without thinking twice, he gritted his teeth and stumbled out of the Hu family's hall.

Seeing Xiao He's disheveled figure, everyone in the Hu family in the hall was completely dumbfounded.

Hu Fengting hesitated for a moment, but finally steeled himself and asked the question.

"Dao... no... senior, you..."

Before Hu Fengting could finish speaking, Su Fan waved his hand to interrupt him.

"Don't worry about this today, just leave it to me..."

After he finished speaking, he glanced at the Hu family members in the hall and then waved to them.

"You all go about your business..."

Upon hearing his words, the Hu family members in the hall immediately scattered.

Hu Fengting wanted to stay, but he was forcibly dragged away by several of his family members. Things had already gone beyond their wildest expectations, and the Hu family only hoped that they wouldn't be implicated.

Seeing that the Hu family members in the hall had all left, Su Fan went over and picked up the teapot to pour himself a cup, only to find that the teapot was empty.

The Hu family is really clueless; they don't even know that I have to walk in to brew a fresh pot of tea.

Su Fan made a complaint, then brewed himself a pot of spiritual tea and poured himself a cup.

He picked up his teacup and took a satisfied sip.

After this incident, it's definitely no longer safe to stay in "Cangyun Immortal City".

If those old guys knew he was here, they'd all come and bother him.

Let's hurry up and deal with the Xiao family's affairs. Then we'll take Hu Xuan to "Xiaoyangtian" and send her to "Tianlei Daogong".

Just by hearing the name of this sect, one can tell that there are many cultivators who specialize in the path of thunder within the sect, and the secret hall must also contain many inheritances of the path of thunder.

Not only that, but I've sent such a promising talent to your sect, so we should at least let him observe in the sect's Dharma Hall for a while.

Although Su Fan had collected a lot of classic texts on the Dao of Thunder, they were all common, high-quality books.

As a super immortal sect that focuses on cultivating the Dao of Thunder, the "Heavenly Thunder Dao Palace" naturally has no shortage of classic texts on the Dao of Thunder, as well as insights and experiences left by its predecessors.

Hu Xuan has such a great talent for the Thunder Dao, yet the Xiao family still wants to take it for themselves. They don't deserve it.

At this moment, Hu Fengting and the others hid in other rooms of the courtyard; they didn't even have the thought of escaping.

While the gods fight outside, they, the mortals, suffer.

The area within tens of thousands of miles is the sphere of influence of the "Cangyun Immortal Sect". Where can the Hu family escape to?

Now they can only pray to the Taoist Ancestor, hoping that the upcoming conflict will not affect their small family.

"I...I remember him...his name was Su Fan, right..."

"You mean, he..."

"Impossible! How could Su Fan, who used forbidden lightning techniques to severely injure a great demon from the upper realm, be here with us..."

"But if he weren't Su Fan, what gave him the right to say those words just now..."

After listening to the conversation among the family members, Hu Fengting finally realized that the guy's name really was Su Fan.

But he shook his head, trying to dispel the thoughts from his mind.

How could a big shot like Su Fan end up in "Cangyun Immortal City" and have been on friendly terms with him for several years?

Just as Hu Fengting and the others were lost in thought, powerful auras flew in from all directions of "Cangyun Immortal City".

These cultivators were all members of the Xiao family. They hovered above the alley, eyeing the Hu family's courtyard with predatory intent.

Su Fan picked up the teacup, took a sip, and then put the teacup down.

His eyes narrowed, and a powerful, overwhelming divine sense swept out in all directions from him.

The Xiao family members, who were densely packed and suspended above the alley, suddenly felt everything go black before their eyes, and like dumplings being dropped into a pot, they plummeted headfirst from the sky.

Su Fan's move finally alarmed the Nascent Soul Realm expert who was stationed in the city.

However, he knew in his heart that this Nascent Soul Realm expert from the "Cangyun Immortal Sect" must have known about this matter long ago.

He wasn't blind. So many members of the Xiao family were taking to the air and hovering above the alleys in the city, why didn't he say a word?

Seeing Su Fan make a move, he scurried out.

An incredibly powerful aura swept in, and an old man instantly appeared above the alley.

"May I ask which fellow Daoist graces my 'Cangyun Immortal City' with their presence..."

Upon hearing the words of that old monster in the Integration Realm, Su Fan chuckled.

"This is a matter between me and the Xiao family. Does your 'Cangyun Immortal Sect' really want to get involved..."

The Nascent Soul Realm expert who is stationed in "Cangyun Immortal City" is not one of the younger generation of the Xiao family.

Upon hearing Su Fan's words, he immediately realized the seriousness of the problem.

Despite being a powerful figure in the Integration Realm, he couldn't discern Su Fan's true strength or sense his aura.

This only proves that the other party's strength far surpasses his own, and under such circumstances, he certainly wouldn't want to offend such a powerful figure.

"Fellow Daoist, we, the Cangyun Immortal Sect, do not wish to get involved in the dispute between you and the Xiao family. Could you please, for my sake, refrain from taking action within the city to avoid harming innocent people..."

This old fox.

None of the old guys who have reached the Integration Realm are easy targets.

"Stop talking nonsense, go do what you're supposed to do, and don't get in my way..."

Su Fan showed no mercy to this person who was pretending to be ignorant when he knew the truth.

At this moment, even the most good-tempered expert of the "Cangyun Immortal Sect" who was suspended in the air was enraged by Su Fan.

He took a deep breath, forcibly suppressing the anger within him.

"May I ask your name, friend...?"

"My name is Su Fan. Is there anything else you wish to ask...?"

Upon hearing Su Fan introduce himself, the old monster at the Integration Realm of the "Cangyun Immortal Sect" trembled and almost fell headfirst from the sky.

How could it be such a monster?

You come to our "Cangyun Immortal City", can't you even say hello?

At this point, the other party no longer dared to make any bigger moves.

"So it's Junior Brother Su Fan who has graced our 'Cangyun Immortal City' with his presence. Junior Brother, please wait a moment, I will inform the Sect Master immediately..."

After saying that, he disappeared in a flash.

He definitely didn't want to get involved in the Xiao family's mess anymore; he should report it to the sect immediately.

At this moment, the entire "Cangyun Immortal City" was in complete chaos.

All the cultivators in the city came to the main street and looked in the direction of the alley, all wanting to know who could make a Nascent Soul Realm expert lose his composure like this.

At this moment, the old monster in the Integration Realm who was stationed in the city did not dare to be negligent at all, and hurriedly reported the matter to the sect leader.

When Li Heming, the sect leader of the Cangyun Immortal Sect, received the news, he asked around and immediately understood the reason for the matter.

Without a second thought, Li Heming appeared in the sky above "Cangyun Immortal City".

He dared not be arrogant in the face of Su Fan, this prodigy.

Li Heming landed directly in the Hu family's courtyard and then bowed to Su Fan in the hall.

“I am Li Heming of the Cangyun Immortal Sect. My junior brother has come to my Cangyun Immortal City. Why didn’t you give me a greeting? I would have liked to welcome you back…”

Su Fan was the kind of person who responded better to kindness than force. Seeing that the sect leader had arrived and was being so polite, he could only stand up and return the greeting with a bow.

“I came here to ‘purify my heart in the world,’ so I didn’t bother you…”

After he finished speaking, he waved his hand and said, "Senior Brother Heming, please come in..."

When Crane Cry God heard Su Fan say this, he couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

At least this monster wasn't as wicked as he had imagined.

If Su Fan really doesn't give him any face at all, then God Lord Heming really has no way to deal with him.

This monster has really lost his temper; today, the "Cangyun Immortal Sect" will definitely lose face.

There was nothing they could do; they couldn't win a fight, and the Xiao family wasn't in the right either.

If things really escalate, the sect has no grounds to protect the Xiao family, and even if they wanted to, they couldn't.

What a joke! This kid can even severely injure the true form of a great demon from the upper realm. Even if all the people from the "Cangyun Immortal Sect" were tied together, they still couldn't beat this kid.
