Zhou Family.

In the main hall, the faces of many top members of the Zhou Family were somewhat unsightly, and the face of the Zhou Family Head was even gloomier, as if it could drip water.

At this moment, Zhou Minghui, the Zhou Family's favored child, was kneeling before everyone, tightly clenching his teeth with a somewhat grim expression.

"Ungrateful son, how dare you come back?"

The Zhou Family Head looked at Zhou Minghui kneeling on the ground, his face filled with uncontrollable anger.

Clearly, the Zhou Family members had already learned through certain channels about everything that happened within the Grey Wolf Team.

The Zhou Family Head had already instructed Zhou Minghui not to clash with Xu Fan within the Grey Wolf Team, and to cooperate with all of Xu Fan's actions! However, Zhou Minghui openly opposed Xu Fan and even betrayed Xu Fan in public, offending Xu Fan gravely.

As the head of the Zhou Family and Zhou Minghui's father, how could the Zhou Family Head not be furious?

Zhou Minghui gritted his teeth tightly, his constantly twisting face making him appear extremely grim.

"Xu Fan, Xu Fan, is Xu Fan all you ever talk about! When have you ever cared for your son?"

"He's bound to die, yet you insist on having your own son buried with him! What kind of father does this?"

It seemed Zhou Minghui had suppressed his emotions for too long, and they suddenly erupted uncontrollably.

"Li Family, Long Family, Feng Family, which one of them isn't stronger than our Zhou Family? Even if you want to protect Xu Fan, can you truly protect him?"

"Are you upset that Xu Fan is going to die, or because your own son didn't follow Xu Fan to his death?"

Smack!

The crisp sound of a slap echoed, and Zhou Minghui, covering his face, finally regained a little composure, bowing his head in silence, yet his constantly twisting face appeared increasingly grim.

"Ungrateful son! Ungrateful son!"

The Zhou Family Head was furious, his spiritual power fluctuating violently, as if it could lose control at any moment and kill Zhou Minghui kneeling on the ground.

"Family Head, please calm down, in any case, our Zhou Family has already severed ties with Xu Fan, although Minghui's actions were somewhat excessive, our Zhou Family has not wronged Xu Fan too much."

Seeing the Family Head's fury, many high-ranking members spoke out to dissuade him.

"What do you all understand?" However, the Zhou Family Head did not reduce his anger because of their dissuasion, gazing at his once most beloved son with a face filled with disappointment.

"Indeed, our Zhou Family has not wronged Xu Fan, but because of this ungrateful son's actions, the favor we previously held with Xu Fan has almost been eroded."

Upon hearing these words, the faces of the Zhou Family's top members changed dramatically.

Did the Family Head actually give Xu Fan such a high evaluation?! Is the favor of a mere Entering Dao Realm Peak ant so precious?

Yet the Zhou Family Head did not say anything more to the crowd, nor did he spare a glance at Zhou Minghui kneeling on the ground, but instead looked towards Zhou Shi'nian's direction.

"Shi'nian, out of everyone in our Zhou Family, you are the most sensible and have the best relationship with Xu Fan."

"The matter of Xu Fan is vast, the storm it has stirred is truly terrifying, our Zhou Family is merely a second-rate force, utterly unable to be involved. The things inconvenient for the Zhou Family to do need you to handle privately. Understand?"

The Zhou Family Head's words were extremely cryptic, yet everyone in the Zhou Family understood his meaning, their faces changing dramatically.

Even Zhou Shi'nian, who had long held a favorable view of Xu Fan, felt a tempest in his heart upon hearing the Family Head's words.

Previously, Xu Fan, at the Huang Family's main hall, had performed exceptionally, but ultimately somewhat embarrassingly. Yet in just a few weeks' time, Xu Fan had made our Zhou Family go to such lengths for him?

"Next, Brother Xu, what kind of storm are you planning to stir up?" Zhou Shi'nian gazed in the direction of the distant base, murmuring to himself.

...

Li Family.

Li Kun's treatment was completely the opposite of Zhou Minghui's.

At this time, Li Kun was surrounded as if he had achieved some great accomplishment, many high-ranking members of the Li Family were laughing and praising Li Kun with looks filled with admiration.

Li Kun acted prudently, upon returning to the Li Family, he didn't mention even a word about being humiliated by Xu Fan, only talking about how he smartly and bravely outwitted Xu Fan, successfully luring Xu Fan out of the base, planning to challenge him with the Grey Wolf Team three days later.

For the Li Family, this was undoubtedly fantastic news.

To restore the Li Family's lost face and avenge Li Hua, the Li Family had already startled the enemy, being restricted by the base, unable to kill Xu Fan.

Moreover, the reactions from the base indicated there seemed to be some powerful figure behind Xu Fan, continuously thwarting the Li Family's actions.

Now, within just a few days of accepting the mission, Li Kun had resolved this matter plaguing the Li Family, thinking of how Xu Fan would be sanctioned by the Li Family three days later, how could they not rejoice?

With the sound of footsteps echoing, a figure full of authority slowly walked into the main hall, and the bustling hall suddenly fell silent, all eyes filled with deep reverence focused on the imposing figure.

This figure was none other than the Li Family Head, Li Tiancheng.

In the Li Family, Li Tiancheng was the absolute sky!

At that moment, Li Tiancheng sat in the main seat, satisfied with the quieted crowd, nodding and asking Li Kun, "How's the preparation going?"

Li Kun respectfully lifted his head, his face glowing with excitement, "Rest assured, Family Head, as soon as that Xu Fan appears, I will take his life immediately!"

Li Tiancheng nodded lightly towards Li Kun, then turned his head, looking at the surrounding high-ranking members, "What stance are the Dragon and Feng Families taking?"

"Reporting to Family Head, both families have firm attitudes, they will send people over three days later, at crucial moments, if anyone intervenes, members of the Dragon and Feng Families will act!"

"Very good." Li Tiancheng lightly tapped the armrest of his chair, speaking with utmost authority to the crowd, "The Li Family hasn't taken such grand action in over a hundred years."

"What we need to do is not just kill that ant named Xu Fan, but also demonstrate the Li Family's attitude and dignity to all major forces! The Li Family's dignity cannot be violated!"

"For this action, no mistakes are allowed! Understand?"

At such a critical moment, who dared say otherwise? The Li Family members all nodded in agreement.

Li Tiancheng nodded in satisfaction, stood up, and casually said to Li Kun, "Ah Kun, I heard you gave away your Autumn Water Sword? Go pick a Divine Weapon from the Treasure Vault later."

"Thank you, Family Head!" Li Kun's face was filled with surprise and joy.
