Elder Hong nodded at Xu Fan with a smile.
Ah Zi winked at him, looking very playful and cute.
The others looked around, taking in the situation.
Long Guhuang gave the old turtle a few glances before his expression turned serious and he asked Xu Fan, “By the way, Brother Xu, we heard that a grand battle took place here, so we rushed over to check it out.
What exactly happened, does Brother Xu know?”
Xu Fan nodded slightly, speaking indifferently, “Yes, I have killed Ren Tianhei, and the Black Blade Organization has been destroyed as a result.”
Upon hearing this, a shock ran through the crowd.
Everyone found it hard to believe.
“The Black Blade Organization is destroyed?”
“Ren Tianhei was killed by you?”
“How is that possible?
This…”
However, when they looked around, they indeed saw the bodies of many Black Blade Organization members.
These included patrons, protectors, and other well-known powerful individuals from the Black Blade Organization.
They even saw Ren Tianhei’s corpse here.
Despite their disbelief, the reality before their eyes forced them to believe that Xu Fan was not deceiving them.
The Black Blade Organization truly was destroyed, and Ren Tianhei was dead!
Even if there were any fish that slipped through the net, they would at most be insignificant pawns, unable to stir up any commotion.
Coming back to their senses, everyone was immediately filled with joy!
The Black Blade Organization had always been a thorn in their side.
Now that the Black Blade Organization was finally destroyed, they all felt an immense sense of relief.
But at the same time, they were also incredibly shocked.
The Black Blade Organization had been established for so long, and the Ancient Martial World had been unable to deal with it, which attested to the organization’s considerable strength.
Yet now, it had been wiped out by the strength of Xu Fan alone, unimaginable as to just how powerful Xu Fan really was.
Even a Dongxu Realm master was far from being so formidable.
Could it be that Xu Fan’s power had surpassed the Dongxu Realm?
This seemed even more unbelievable!
Although they did not understand how Xu Fan had achieved this, there was no doubt that his strength was beyond their wildest imaginations.
In any case, from now on, they knew they must not offend such a powerful individual, but rather seek to befriend him.
This thought surfaced in everyone’s minds.
Moreover, they decided that upon returning, they would also warn their juniors to never provoke Xu Fan, no matter what.
Otherwise, nobody would be able to save them!
Seeing the change in everyone’s expression, Xu Fan then turned his gaze to Long Guhuang and said with a light smile, “I’ll leave the follow-up matters here to you.
Moreover, when making any public statements, say that the Black Blade Organization was destroyed by your group, and there’s no need to mention me.”
“This…”
Long Guhuang was startled, as they clearly hadn’t participated in the matter; it could be said that it had nothing to do with them.
But then he suddenly realized something.
If they really spread the word about Xu Fan, he would likely never have peace from then on.
“I understand, leave it to me to handle,” Long Guhuang nodded.
“Alright, I’ll leave it in your hands then,” Xu Fan said with a smile.
Following that, Long Guhuang gave the order to scout the surroundings and also to collect the bodies for identification, recording their information.
In the Flame Dragon Organization, there was detailed information on the high-level officers of the Black Blade Organization, so by identifying the corpses, they could also confirm whether all the high-level members of the Black Blade Organization were indeed dead.
If there were any fish that slipped through the net, they would immediately set up a dragnet to capture them.
Since they wanted to eradicate the evil, it was necessary to strike at the roots to prevent endless trouble in the future.
Besides the high-level officers who had died in battle here, there must have been some low-level members of the Black Blade Organization out carrying out tasks, who should certainly not be overlooked.
However, Xu Fan didn’t need to worry about these matters personally.
Elder Hong sized up the old turtle before stepping forward and clasping his fists, “I am Long Hongjun, may I ask who you are?”
Xu Fan was taken aback.
Since Long Hongjun had asked him to call Elder Hong, he mistakenly thought that Miss Ah Zi’s last name was also Hong, but after hearing Elder Hong introduce himself, he realized his misunderstanding.
It seemed that Elder Long had previously used the surname Hong as an alias, so he habitually referred to people he did not know by the surname Hong.
This was a minor matter, and Xu Fan didn’t mind.
Upon hearing this, the old turtle’s gaze towards Long Hongjun became a bit more solemn.
Of all the people present, except for Xu Fan, it was from Elder Hong that he felt the most intense pressure.
Without a doubt, this was one of the top figures of the current age, with a terrifying level of strength.
Although the old turtle was also confident in his abilities, especially his defensive power, he wasn’t necessarily afraid of Elder Hong, but neither did he wish to easily provoke such a powerful individual.
“So it is Long Hongjun, my fellow Daoist.
I am Turtle Immortal,” the old turtle replied with his hands behind his back and his head tilted back at a forty-five-degree angle, looking up into the sky, projecting the image of a transcendent hermit.
“Turtle Immortal?” Long Hongjun frowned, thinking hard for a while, but he really couldn’t recall when the Cultivation World ever had such a figure, so he could only laugh drily, “I am ignorant.”
The old turtle smiled lightly, “It’s quite normal that you haven’t heard of my name, as I have been cultivating on an island in the Southern Sea and seldom come to land.”
“I see!” Long Hongjun suddenly realized.
He understood the information about the Southern Sea.
In the Cultivation World, the geography of the Southern Sea is quite unique, with numerous islands, many of which are occupied by cultivators as places for cultivation.
This place is not only frequented by Ancient Martial Artists from Yan Country but also by cultivators from various other countries.
Especially those who cultivate unconventional practices like controlling gu and raising ghosts prefer to converge in this area, away from secular jurisdiction.
There are also many top-tier experts who choose to live in seclusion there.
In short, the Southern Sea could be said to be a place where hidden experts abound; an unfathomable master of the Dongxu Realm could emerge from anywhere and one wouldn’t even know how they met their end.
Now as the old turtle introduced himself as coming from the Southern Sea.
Long Hongjun naturally assumed that this was a hermit from the Southern Sea, hence the obscurity of his name.
What he didn’t know was why such a person had appeared here and seemed to have some connection with Xu Fan.
?0???.??
Could it be that he was Xu Fan’s assistant in eliminating the Black Blade Organization?
There was a good chance that was the case.
However, Long Hongjun didn’t continue to inquire further, as it was inappropriate to delve too deeply when the acquaintance was shallow, lest it be bothersome.
Long Ah Zi came bouncing up to Xu Fan with a wide grin, “Hello, this is the second time we’ve met.”
“Miss Long,” Xu Fan replied with a smile and a nod.
“You actually know my last name?
