Chapter 735

?Chapter 735: Chapter 735: Swear to Avenge_1 Chapter 735: Chapter 735: Swear to Avenge_1 As the wedding date drew nearer, the entire Xu Family became busier.

Not just with the wedding venue, but also with the procession, videography, celebratory cannons, and the like—none of these could afford any mistakes.

Moreover, wedding banquet invitations were sent out to friends and relatives.

Anyone who received a wedding invitation from the Xu Family felt honored.

Being able to attend Xu Fan and Xu Yixue’s wedding was equivalent to a symbol of status and identity.

At this time, two incidents occurred.

One of them was related to Xu Dan.

Xu Dan was an orphan who had been taken in by a temple as a child and spent decades there.

It was only a few years ago that he accidentally discovered his true heritage.

Shortly after his birth, his entire family had been slaughtered, leaving him the sole survivor.

The force behind the annihilation of his family was an organization known as Absolute Poison Hall.

If Xu Dan could produce credible evidence, the Flame Dragon Organization would certainly deliver justice on his behalf.

Unfortunately, so many years had passed, and Xu Dan had no evidence to present.

However, Xu Dan didn’t need evidence; he escaped from the temple to seek vengeance against the Absolute Poison Hall for his family.

Although in the Ancient Martial World, this force was merely considered third-rate.

Yet even a third-rate force was beyond the capabilities of Xu Dan at the time; he wasn’t even a Grandmaster, and if not for his exquisite techniques, Xu Dan might not have escaped with his life.

Having narrowly escaped, Xu Dan did not give up on revenge but instead shifted from overt to covert operations, ambushing lone members of Absolute Poison Hall in guerrilla warfare.

It was from that time that his hands became stained with blood.

Times have changed, though, and now Xu Dan has broken through to the Martial King realm, making him one of the top experts in the entire Cultivation World.

Moreover, with Xu Fan, a deity of sorts, backing him up.

With his current capability, he was fully qualified to seek revenge.

So, during this period, Xu Dan’s desire for vengeance was simmering, itching for action.

However, with Xu Fan and Xu Yixue’s wedding imminent, it wasn’t the right time for such bloody, cruel acts.

Xu Dan was forced to suppress the flames of revenge in his heart, planning to act after the wedding was over.

Yet, it was hard for him to conceal his worries.

Especially with Xu Fan’s powerful Divine Sense, how could Xu Dan hide anything from him?

Xu Fan soon noticed something was off.

Thus, Xu Fan found an opportunity to pull Xu Dan aside and question him.

“Xu Dan, you seem to be restless lately.

What exactly has happened?” Xu Fan asked straightforwardly.

Xu Dan replied awkwardly, “No… nothing happened.”

Xu Fan sighed softly, speaking in a gentle tone, “Xu Dan, you were one of the first by my side.

I have seen your injuries for me, the blood you’ve shed for me, and I have kept all of it in my eyes and in my heart.

You’ve saved Yixue, rescued Chen Shiyu, rescued Ye Xiaoning, and even the entire Xu Family.

“In my eyes, you are my most trusted subordinate, my brother, and my family.

And it’s not just me—Xue’er and the rest also see you as family.”

“So, you really don’t need to be polite with me.

If there’s anything on your mind you can tell me directly, and if I can help, I definitely won’t refuse.”

“I…” When Xu Fan heard these words, his eyes suddenly moistened.

Although Xu Fan spoke in an ordinary tone, his words reached deep into Xu Dan’s soul.

It moved him with the feeling that a man would gladly die for a confidant who truly understands him.

Although he had lost his family, he still had the temple that had taken him in, and now he had Xu Fan and the Xu Family.

From now on, this would be his home.

Xu Fan’s words just now were not intended to win hearts purposely, but he sincerely meant them.

Xu Dan knelt on one knee, choking up, “Young Master’s great kindness and virtue truly make Xu Dan feel ashamed!”

“Stand up and talk!” Xu Fan waved his hand, releasing a gentle energy that lifted Xu Dan to his feet.

Xu Dan wiped the tears from his eyes, then explained, “I don’t dare to deceive Young Master.

In recent days, I have been constantly thinking about avenging the massacre of my family.

Every time I remember the hatred from that year, I can’t even sleep at night, as if I see my kinsmen accusing me in their blood.

The massacre is a vengeance that will not be shared under the heavens.

I, Xu Dan, have sworn that someday I must avenge this deep hatred!”

When he spoke passionately, Xu Dan’s expression even became fierce and twisted.

“I understand now, so that’s what it is,” Xu Fan nodded his head.

He felt intense hatred emanating from Xu Dan, and knew that if he didn’t find a way to vent or dissolve this hatred, Xu Dan would inevitably encounter problems in time.

Xu Fan’s mind stirred as he recalled a technique for cultivating the mind from his previous life.

He formed a technique with his hands and chanted, “Cold pierces through the ages, rendering everything silent as ice.”

“Calm the mind and spirit, let the solitary energy commune with the divine.”

“Unite body and spirit, blend the divine energy with the body.”

“…”

As Xu Fan chanted, invisible runes appeared from nowhere, merging into Xu Dan’s mind.

“Xu Dan, your current state is very bad.

I will now teach you the ‘Calming Spirit Technique’.

Starting now, every four hours, recite the technique to mitigate the negative impact of your hatred,” Xu Fan said.

“Yes,” Xu Dan nodded, feeling grateful.

?????.??

He could clearly feel that as Xu Fan performed the technique, his heart lightened, as if a great weight had been lifted.

Xu Fan then asked, “By the way, you just mentioned the massacre of your family.

Who is your enemy?”

Upon mentioning his enemy, Xu Dan clenched his teeth with hatred and said bitterly, “It’s the Absolute Poison Hall, a third-rate faction in the Cultivation World.

My family’s surname was originally Wang, and it happened that my father came across a superior secret manual by chance.

Unfortunately, news of it leaked out unintentionally and came to the attention of the Absolute Poison Hall.”

“To seize the secret manual, the Absolute Poison Hall deployed its strongmen and wiped out my family to take it.”

“In fact, I only learned of my identity and the deep hatred I carry a few years ago.

Throughout these years, I’ve been trying to find ways to take revenge on the Absolute Poison Hall, but unfortunately, my own strength was too weak, and I could only kill some of their peripheral members who were alone.”

“But now it’s different.
