Xu Fan heard this and vaguely understood the relationship between the Old Immortal and the Huang Family.
Years ago, the Old Immortal fell in love with the young lady of the Huang Family, but the Huang Family intended to break them apart. The Old Immortal stormed in, was besieged, and the young lady of the Huang Family blocked a fatal blow for him, but it unexpectedly crippled her cultivation level. The Huang Family was disappointed, their attitude shifted, and her death was very likely connected to this.
The Old Immortal collected his emotions and continued, "Your Master's Wife was exceptionally talented back then, ranking first on the Earth List, highly regarded by many major powers. Later, when she was rendered useless, the Huang Family intended to marry her off to a hidden world family to utilize her last value for the Huang Family. Then, she left, and I collapsed as a result."
Xu Fan couldn't help but sigh upon hearing this.
The Master's Wife he had never met was indeed a pitiful person. When she was in her prime, the Huang Family treasured her, but when her cultivation level was gone, they treated her like a commodity to gain favor with other powers.
Such a Huang Family is truly pathetic.
"Was the expulsion of the Huang Family related to this incident?" Xu Fan quickly linked this to the reason for the Huang Family's expulsion.
The Old Immortal nodded, "Yes, within the domestic powers, hidden world families are strong, but there are three major sects, standing aloof from worldly affairs. The three major sects are Buddhism, Taoism, and the Heavenly Witch Sect. Back then, your Master's Wife was valued by a Taoist expert who wanted to take her as a student."
"When the Taoist expert heard that your Master's Wife was forced to kill herself by the Huang Family, he was furious. However, after all, she was of the Huang Family, the blood is thicker than water, so the expert could not bring himself to kill them, and thus expelled them beyond the national borders."
Upon hearing this, Xu Fan was stunned. The Heavenly Witch Sect was actually one of the three major sects? And even more terrifying than the hidden world families?
It should be known that Xu Fan had a long-standing grudge against the Heavenly Witch Sect, therefore he somewhat understood it. Among the various Luocha, the Red Luocha was the strongest. Although Xu Fan had never seen the Red Luocha, based on previous deductions, it was at most as powerful as a Vajra Realm expert. He originally intended to annihilate it upon returning to the country, but unexpectedly, things didn't seem that simple.
"You were able to survive today largely thanks to Senior Li Danggui of Buddhism. If he weren't present, those behind him might really have acted against you."
Xu Fan then asked the Old Immortal, "I never heard of the three major sects when I was in the country, and I also somewhat understand the Heavenly Witch Sect, which doesn't seem as powerful as the Huang Family."
The Old Immortal coldly laughed, "The Huang Family? Before the three major sects, not even ten Huang Families would be worth mentioning."
"It's normal you haven't heard of them. Weren't you unaware of the hidden world families before?"
Xu Fan was stunned, thinking it was indeed the case. Previously, he was just an Innate Realm junior, with no qualifications to be involved in such matters.
"The Heavenly Witch Sect you know is just a superficial puppet! Your Master's Wife alone could easily destroy it. The true Heavenly Witch Sect, how terrifying is its strength? It is said that the Heavenly Corpses they cultivate could surpass Zhiwei, comparable to Mo Family's Tongtian."
The weight of this sentence was heavy, even Xu Fan was greatly shocked.
The Heavenly Witch Sect's Heavenly Corpses, comparable to Mo Family's Tongtian?
It must be noted, when the Mo Family crafted the Tongtian back then, it caused a worldwide sensation, plunging the entire cultivation world into warfare. Vajra Realm experts had no qualifications to approach the core of the events, and even among Zhiwei Realm experts, it was said many fell.
And the true Heavenly Witch Sect, it is comparable to the Mo Family?
The Old Immortal saw Xu Fan was stunned, smiled slightly. Without knocking this kid back a bit, with his trouble-causing ability, he might really wipe out the mundane Heavenly Witch Sect in one breath.
"Now you understand how heavy and distant the task your godmother assigned to you is?"
Years ago, when Xu Fan was learning Gu Art from Qu Ying, he promised her one condition: that he would eventually destroy the Heavenly Witch Sect.
Now it seems, that eventuality might truly take a long time to achieve.
Xu Fan bitterly smiled and nodded.
As they were talking, a figure rushed from behind, "Benefactor Li! Benefactor Xu! Please wait!"
The one addressing Xu Fan like this was naturally the old monk Li Danggui.
The group stopped, the old monk came hastily with a young monk. Xu Fan put his hands together, bowing to the old monk, thanking him for his kindness in the Huang Family's great hall.
Just as the Old Immortal said, if the old monk weren't present or hadn't expressed his support for Xu Fan, Xu Fan would likely be a goner.
The old monk, seeing Xu Fan like this, felt embarrassed, apologized, glanced at the Mechanical Warrior beside, then asked Xu Fan, "Benefactor Xu, is it true you are a descendant of the Mo Family?"
Even Xu Fan himself wasn't sure about the truth of being a Mo Family descendant.
Xu Fan indeed practiced the Mo Family's Treasure Record of mechanical techniques, but he obtained that Treasure Record in the Dongying Burial Grounds, which dated back at least a thousand years, and had no connection whatsoever to the Mo Family of a hundred years ago.
But if speaking from a certain perspective, Xu Fan indeed practiced mechanical techniques, thus could be counted as a Mo Family descendant.
Not wanting to cause trouble, Xu Fan directly shook his head, "To be honest, I found this Mechanical Warrior. Its power is only due to having a Cold Essence inside."
"Cold Essence? I see! Benefactor Xu indeed is a person of profound luck."
If the Cold Essence is removed, the Mechanical Warrior's strength would at most be at the Entering Dao Realm Peak. Such power doesn't seem like it was passed down from the Mo Family's ancestral land.
However, the old monk wasn't here for Mo Family matters, but for the relic inside Xu Fan.
The old monk, now smiling cheerfully at Xu Fan, "This time, I am here for the item of my Buddhist Sect, Benefactor Xu, could you tell poor monk your experience of what happened?"
The matter of the relic, Xu Fan also didn't intend to disclose, but since the old monk had already seen it with his own eyes, Xu Fan had no choice but to relay his experiences in the Dongying Burial Grounds, changing the place name, omitting most events, and emphasizing how the relic entered his body.
The Old Immortal and others listened in shock, this kid was struck, didn't die, and even absorbed a relic into his body, such luck, how heaven-defying?
The old monk was also dumbfounded hearing this. Such a method exists?
Throughout history, those who successfully drew a relic into their bodies were but a handful, and among those few, none were not exceedingly cautious, fearing trouble, expending immense effort and materials, only to luckily integrate the relic into themselves.
In contrast, Xu Fan took a hit, somehow a relic came out of nowhere, and just assimilated itself?
