561: Chapter 561 The Crane Clan Needs a Person!

"Look over there! There seem to be words on the Giant Spirit Immortal's head!"

"There really are words!"

"I see them, but they don't look like the script of our universe. They look like ancient script from an Alien Universe!"

Indeed.

Etched on the massive forehead of the Giant Spirit Immortal was a line of text.

Li Fan looked up at the text, his brow tightly furrowed.

He couldn't understand the font; it was ancient script from the Alien Universe, yet its meaning was conveyed perfectly into his mind.

The general meaning was:

'The killer is He Hunxu!'

'My grand-disciple Tianyue has been slain; this grudge must be avenged. Hand over Li Fan, and the battlefield can have a month of peace!'

Seeing this meaning,

Li Fan's pupils instantly contracted.

This... was aimed directly at him?!

He Hunxu.

He hadn't heard this name before.

As for the 'grand-disciple Tianyue' he mentioned, he didn't really have much impression of him either.

"Could that person's name be He Tianyue?"

Li Fan immediately thought of the youth he had slain at the Grand Gathering, the one who possessed seven strands of law power.

Thinking carefully,

When that person stepped forward, the name 'He Tianyue' had indeed been mentioned among the Prodigies from the Alien Universe.

It was just that he hadn't paid much attention at the time.

Now it seemed,

That person was very likely named He Tianyue!

And this He Hunxu must be some ancestor from the He Family!

However, the methods used by this ancestor did indeed make his scalp tingle.

He never expected someone would use the head of an Immortal Level figure as a medium to transmit information, and directly demand a person from their side!

Just hand him over, and they could exchange it for a month of peace on the battlefield?!

He had to admit,

The bargaining chip offered was quite substantial!

A month of peace was undoubtedly incredibly precious for those on the front lines!

On the other side,

At this moment,

Besides Li Fan, the rest of the people in the city gradually understood the information within the text.

Instantly,

The entire city erupted in an uproar.

Among them, the most agitated were the newly arrived younger generation.

"What? They're looking for Li Fan?!"

"Hiss! What's going on? Could it be that Li Fan's fearsome reputation has already spread to the Alien Universe?!"

"No, judging by the meaning of the text, it seems one of that mighty figure's grand-disciples was slain by Li Fan."

"I remember now! Could it be that guy with seven strands of law power whom Li Fan slew during the Grand Gathering?!"

"I remember too! Wasn't that person called He Tianyue?!"

"That guy's ancestor actually came to demand Li Fan? Isn't that a bit too arrogant?!"

"It is indeed too arrogant! But in that case, does it mean Li Fan is now targeted, and he might face danger later?"

They also recalled the Prodigies from the Alien Universe whom Li Fan had slain during the Grand Gathering, quickly locking onto the most likely suspect.

Immediately, their hearts tightened, and they couldn't help but worry for Li Fan.

As for handing over Li Fan in exchange for a month of peace, none of them even considered it.

Because they knew,

It was impossible!

And the facts proved it true.

The elders in the city, upon seeing the news, cursed in grief and indignation, reviling He Hunxu's baseness, and shouting resounding words that they would absolutely not hand over Li Fan.

As for the high-ranking officials, their curses were even harsher!

Handing over the person was impossible!

Not to mention whether the other side would go back on their word and make fools of them after receiving the person.

The act of handing over a person alone was already an operation that severely damaged their dignity.

Countless predecessors shed blood on the front lines; they were not meant to be spineless!

"Outrageous!"

"A victory or defeat struggle between juniors has actually implicated the battlefield! This is the height of shamelessness!"

"Exactly! Since they like playing like this, don't blame me! You all guard the city, I'm going to avenge the Giant Spirit! I'll kill a few Immortals from their side!"

"Old Six, don't rush, I'll go with you!"

Deep within the great city, several furious voices rang out.

In the conference room, the City Lords were nearly in chaos.

But soon, the chaotic scene was calmed down by the Great City Lord.

"Alright, everyone quiet down."

"I have already made a decision on this matter."

"Ninth Brother, go handle the Giant Spirit's remains, and take the opportunity to explain the cruelty of war and our stance to that younger generation. As for Li Fan, you had better visit him too; I worry the young fellow might be under pressure."

"Third Brother, Sixth Brother, you two follow Ninth Brother and be responsible for guarding the city."

"Fourth Brother, Fifth Brother, you two follow me to the front line!"

As the last sentence fell,

The Great City Lord's expression turned cold, a strong killing intent flashing in his eyes.

Their purpose in going to the front line was very simple.

That is,

A life for a life, blood debt must be paid with blood!

Dare to provoke them like this, and they weren't pushovers either!
