For Xu Fan, Mu Lao's importance reached an unparalleled level! Even if Mu Lao could not obtain Xu Fan's Divine Sense, he could not allow Xu Fan to continue growing.

In just a month's time, Xu Fan had completed such a magnificent transformation. If Xu Fan were given a few more years, even if Mu Lao and his three companions joined forces, they might not be Xu Fan's match.

Xu Fan must die! This is an unchangeable iron law!

So, even if it's Elder Niu, even if it's some so-called alchemy prodigy, should Mu Lao be determined to take down Xu Fan, he would likely be unstoppable.

However, Mu Lao had his own considerations for allowing Elder Niu to take Xu Fan away.

Within the base, Elder Niu holds a considerable status. If Mu Lao were indeed to offend Elder Niu, it would surely cause a commotion, and if those few hidden figures within the base were alarmed, it would be a loss outweighing the gain for Mu Lao and his companions.

Letting Xu Fan leave seemed like Mu Lao conceding, but in reality, it was retreating to advance!

Elder Niu belonged to Pill Divine Valley, and that alchemy prodigy girl couldn't stay within the base forever. At the latest, in three days, she would be taken away by the people from Pill Divine Valley.

Once the girl leaves, Xu Fan would lose all his support!

The paths before Xu Fan then only boil down to two: either, in three days, obediently head to the ruins and be captured and killed by Mu Lao and his three companions, or, leave the base and still be captured and killed by them!

The reality is as cold as this, cold enough to make one feel sorrowful. A young lad with no background at all, under the control of Mu Lao and his three companions, has absolutely no hope of escape!

Moreover, aside from Mu Lao and his three companions, Xu Fan today has also offended the Li, Dragon, and Phoenix Families, and even totally offended the Luo Family's genius.

Even if Mu Lao does not kill Xu Fan, how could these people possibly spare Xu Fan?

After the competition, Xu Fan, without the base's protection, is merely meat on the chopping block waiting to be slaughtered!

This is the real reason Mu Lao allowed Xu Fan to leave! Simultaneously, this is Mu Lao's true finishing move!

Even if Xu Fan's luck reaches its peak, even if Xu Fan shines brilliantly in this battle, it is still difficult to escape the fate of certain death!

...

Within the base, as the competition came to an end, the enthusiasm of the crowd did not diminish one bit!

Everyone was excitedly and with some fear and awe repeatedly speaking the same name, Xu Fan!

Previously, because most of the students were in closed-door cultivation or out on missions, they were not very aware of what Xu Fan had done, and some even sneered at his deeds after hearing about them.

When the appearance of one person makes everyone start to question the entire world, no one will doubt the world they have firmly believed in for decades!

Xu Fan was merely someone seeking attention! No one could be a monster to that extent!

However, as the competition arrived, and everyone witnessed with their own eyes the various feats Xu Fan accomplished on stage, they felt that the world before their eyes began to gradually collapse.

A youngster in the Entering Dao Realm, barely ten-something years old, could he really be that strong?

Great power may inspire fear, but it cannot force submission.

But Xu Fan, with the domineering toughness he displayed in the competition, successfully captured a large batch of students, turning them into his fans.

Initially, there was always a doubt as to why, given Xu Fan's reckless behavior offending so many terrifying powers, the Grey Wolf Team persistently stayed loyal to and obeyed Xu Fan?

Now, everyone finally unlocked this mystery, Xu Fan has that kind of charm! If the crowd were members of a hidden team, having such an instructor, they too would make the same choices!

Previously, at such times, there would always be someone stepping out, sneering and questioning Xu Fan's strength, but today, no one dared to voice even half a word of doubt.

Even the geniuses from the Azure Dragon Ice Phoenix Team were unusually silent, not a single sound emanating from them.

Actually, the students in the base were just a group of young people in their twenties, their desires for fame and fortune far less intense than those seasoned veterans. And Xu Fan's every performance has repeatedly proven beyond doubt that he is no longer on the same level as everyone else.

If a person is just slightly stronger than everyone else, there will naturally be people who are unwilling to accept it, but once a person is so strong that others need to look up, even dare not look directly, jealousy naturally fades away.

At this moment, instead of envying Xu Fan, the crowd began to worry about Xu Fan's predicament.

"Xu Fan's strength is terrifying, and his potential even more so, now that the base Elders have already offended him, they surely won't give him much time to grow!"

"Three days later is when the ruins open, and the base Elders will certainly target Xu Fan again. How will Xu Fan respond?"

"With the decline of the Li Family, Xu Fan has offended the Luo Family, an overlord-level power, as well. With Luo Family's wrath pouring down, how will Xu Fan withstand it?"

"The competition is over, and in a certain sense, Xu Fan is no longer part of the base. The Dragon and Phoenix Families could strike Xu Fan at any time, and in the shadows, countless forces are watching Xu Fan like a tiger eyeing its prey; Xu Fan's predicament remains bleak!"

Some think Xu Fan's situation is dire, but even in such desperation, there are those who firmly believe Xu Fan will break through the impasse.

"Before the competition, Xu Fan was merely at the peak of the Entering Dao Realm, no one was optimistic about him, believing he was certainly doomed, yet Xu Fan shone brightly! With Xu Fan's potential, three days later, he will surely create miracles again!"

"Xu Fan's current strength can deter seven Zhiwei Realm strongmen! Surviving a siege from four Zhiwei Realm Elders! Even if targeted again in three days, it doesn't necessarily mean he is certain to die!"

"More than that! Three days later, Xu Fan will surely return as a king to avenge today's enmity!"

"The Dragon and Phoenix Families are indeed terrifying, and so is the Luo Family, but Xu Fan is not easy to deal with either! Anyone daring to plot against Xu Fan should be prepared to get their teeth broken!"

These students, deeply captivated by Xu Fan's brilliance, spoke of Xu Fan as if he were a deity, disregarding even the Dragon, Phoenix, and Luo Families.

This sort of blind confidence naturally couldn't convince everyone; the crowd divided into two factions, arguing heatedly.

Meanwhile, Xu Fan, the main character, knew none of this.

At this moment, Xu Fan, having taken medication to restore his Spiritual Power in the room, had as his first action not thanking Song Ling'er who was still standing guard outside the door nor considering matters of three days hence, but picking up his phone through gritted teeth and dialing the old immortal's number.
